Meeting of All Work

Federation Chiefs Say Hired
thugs Are Used to Discredit
Men on Strike
There is some talk
< inV pjeej ffijffljjciH ui n ft h. > among labormen of
<^S4jsgggs6^' arranging for a
mass meeting in
; which all unions shall take part In a
i discussion of legislation for the benefit
of workingmen.
"I have heard something about it,"
said A. J. Gallagher of the San Fran
clsoo labor council yesterday. "I be
lieve It would be a good move to have
the unions affiliated with the labor
oouncil and those of the building trades
. council hold a joint meeting for the
purpose of discussing legislative mat
ters for the common good. There are
many measures which probably will be
brought before the next legislature in
which labor will be interested and these
could be fully discussed at such a meet
ing.
"The meeting ought to be open to the
public, so that those oX our citizens who
are not members of unions oould hear
for themselves about those matters In
which the laboring people are con
cerned. I do not know how far the
movement has none, but it may develop
In a short time."

The San Francisco labor council Is
Informed that at the session of the ex
ecutive council of the American federa
tion of labor in Washington the report
of Secretary Frank Morrison shows
that during October," November and De
cember, 1907. the federation Issued 60
new charters, one to a state branch, 14
to central labor unions, 36 to local
trades unions and three to federal labor
organizations. The council requested
President Goxnpers to discuss through
the Federatlonist the secret detective
agencies. It being asserted that many
of the so called deteotive agencies "are
only companies of armed thugs used by
opponents of organized labor to carry
out programs of lawlessness, designed
to cast odium on labor unions."
The retail clerks' association has re
ceived advices that 84 of the retail
dealers or Vallejo have decided to close
at 6 o'clock, except on Saturday, even-
Ings preceding holidays and navy yard
pay days, when the stores will remain
open until 8 o'clock. The agreement,
which went into effect the last Thursday
In January, is being carried out to the
letter. This was brought about through
the efforts of retail clerks' Interna
tional protective association No. 373,
backed by the Vallejo trades and labor
council. ._ •

Bar tenders' union No. 41 at its meet
ing Monday night heard. a report from
the committee arranging for the picnic
to be given April 5. The committee re
' ported that there will be a number of
prizes. The union is considering the
advisability of procuring larger and
more commodious headquarters. The
neglect of some members in not dis
playing the monthly working button
when on duty behind the bar was dis
cussed, and it was decided to enforce
the penalty for neglect to wear the
emblem. One member declared that at
the next meeting he proposes to offer an
amendment to increase the penalty for
such neglect. Five members were ad
mitted by card, four candidates were
initiated and seven applications were
presented.

The above propositions were agreed
to by: the utilities committee » of the
supervisors yesterday, and will be In
corporated In the bond issue, call If
they are given the approval of the en
tire board. That they will receive the
indorsement is almost certain, for a
majority of the board took \u25a0 part In
the deliberations of . the committee
yesterday, as did Mayor Taylor.
The propositions for the acquisition
of lands for public parks -and chil
dren's playgrounds will be. considered
at . a public meeting of the utilities
committee Saturday afternoon at 3
o'clock in the chambers of s th» super
visors." \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0. -
Before deciding upon Commercial
street as the thoroughfare to be
widened to* the water front. In order
to afford the residents of North beach
easier access to the ferries, the com
mittee considered Washington and
Clay streets. The selection of Wash
ington street was deemed Inadvisable,'
owing to the difficulty that would be
enoountered in acquiring j the needed
land. . Clay street was dropped In fa
vor 'of Commercial, as - the extension
of Montgomery avenue to the latter
thoroughfare could be more easily'ac
complished.
WILL SELECT LAXDS ,'• S
City Engineer Hanson- was author
ized to make the preliminary arrasge
ments for the acquisition. of the neoes
sary lands on the north side jof . Com
mercial street to widen. that thorough-,
fare from the point where Montgomery
avenue, -when extended, .will intersect
; It. Manson will consult with the real
'• estate board " and .ask the members \ to
; fix the value of the necessary strips of
land along Commercial street to be ac
quired by . the city ; to^carry out th«
project. • . '\u25a0 ~
The need for the widening of the
gore at Market, Sacramento and I East
streets, to ; do» away with "death
curve,"- was, conceded'. by -the coriTmlt
tee - and their advisers. \ Two hundred
thousand dollars was "thought to be
a fair- price for the.^land ltwlll be
necessary forthe;clty to acquire, y '
Tho acquisition of Telegraph hill
was briefly considered; but no.conclu
sion will be reached, until- the meet
ing Saturday afternoon. ; Mrs. Lovell
White and several other ' women were
heard in advocacy of the. purchase of
the eminence to save' it. from the de
stroying hands of , contractors \u0084 who
want the rock. The -committee esti
mated that the 10 blocks, of land.sur
rounding the present Pioneer . park
could be purchased for $600,000.
WOULD SAVE LAM) MARK
Mayor * Taylor spoke of the advisa
bility of saving the land mark, as also
did Chairman Glannini of the utilities
committee. It was finally^ decided to
resume the hearing on that project
next Saturday, at which time data
needed by the committee to guide it in
the deliberations will be presented.
P. J. Healy was present to advocate
the purchase of land for a park on
Twin peaks, and Theodore Plnther
urged the claims of the Glen park
residents. They were told that they
would be given a hearing Saturday,
when the subject of parks and play
grounds will be_ considered.
OPPOSE SEWER BONDS
Mission Citizens Demand Pro-
vision for Their District
Citizens of the district south of
Twenty-ninth and Mission streets, com
prising the Mission, Bosworth street,
Sunnyslde, Glen park and other, dis
tricts, have notified the board'of super
visorsthat they will agitate and fight
against^ the proposed bond issue of
$4,000,000 for sewers. At a mass meet
ing held In Binae's hall it was alleged
that the proposed bond issue did . not
include sewerage for the outside "dis
tricts of San : Francisco, and that this
"short sighted" policy endangered the
health of 160,000 persons. They recom
mended the adoption of; the Grunsky
plans, which called for an appropria
tion of $7,250,000, and a resolution was
passed in which those present, pledged
themselves to agitate and vote for a
complete etwer system only.
FfLTH IN DAVIS STREET.
Citizens Protest Against Unsan*
itary Condition of Street
One' hundred businessmen and other
citizens have- prepared a petition to
the supervisors complaining against
the "deplorable, unhealthy condition
of Davis : street between Market and
California." This condition. It is de
clared in the petition,; is : caused , by
dumping sewage and filth Into the
street, making it an "impassable, pest
breeding swamp."
.'.'We believe,'-: the petition Insists,
"that a . continuance of ' this condition
is absolutely detrimental to the . pub
lic health; --And we call attention to
'the deliberate paving over with basalt
blocks of the'; sewer at the southeast
corner of Calif ornia and Davis streets,
whiclr aggravates the danger of
spreading contagious diseases."

Gossip of Railwaymen
' Achilles Ottlnger no longer rli«a In
a streetcar. He has the automobile
which belonged to E. H. Harrlman, ! and
was used by one or two members of the
passenger department. In thiß auto
mobile Hanrlman has ridden; Lathe, th«
chauffeur who drives it, was made
famous when Harriman gave him $500
to abstain from smoking for a few
months. Lathe Is still driving the auto,
but expects no such contribution
from the purse of Achilles Ottlnger.
This automobile cost Haniman $4,600.
Achilles got it for $1,750, and had $700
worth of supplies thrown _ in, such as
gasoline, tires,, lamps, oushlons and
covers. He tried to get Lathe's salary
thrown In for a month, but Harrlman
objected.
"Yes," said Achilles, "I have bought
the automobile. It was simply out of
mere gj&neroslty. My friend Harriman
Is hard up, and , as the Southern Pa
cific was pretty good to me when I was
in business I thought I would repay
the kindness. , Of course when either
Harrlman or my friend, J. C. Stubbs,
is out here I will let them have the
use of my automobile, provided they
pay Lathe's I am learning to
run the machine myself,. and later will
take P. R. Lund out riding."

throes of an election. . )Jay W. Adams

which holds the carrier to its common
law liability undoubtedly will be satis
