Further Effort Being Made to
Replace All Asiatics With
Caucasians
,_ At the last meeting
i T£*ccitf?,jff|^oui>gir^ of the brewery
>Sv *^ffegl£^' workers of this
city, representing
brewers, drivers and beer bottlers, the
question of the proposed -|1. 000 liquor
license was discussed, and strong- oppo
sition developed. The three secretaries
were instructed to prepare. a- statement
for presentation to thy board, of super
visors setting forth the alleged.hard
ship that would occur to the men in
the brewaiy trade should tb« increased
license be adopttd. Secretary Joseph
j Gulnee of the united brewery workmen
stated that the day the proposed higher
I license goes into effect, if It be adopted,
J 300 men employed In the steam brew
erieF of this city. will be. thrown : out of
employment.
The alliea provision- trades council it
Its meeting last Tuesday night adopted
resolutions declaring that the attempt
to raine funds for sanitation by in
creasing the liquor tax "It unjust, as it
lays ihe entire burden "of such sanita
tion on a single industry, which only
recently has been subjected' to a com
paratively enormous increase' in taxa
tion,' and It entered 'a protest, against
j ;he proposed measure. The council de
i cidct: to send a copy of the resolutions
to the San Francisco labor council -for
approval and indorsement.
The council pledged: support- to the
in ewery workers In their j movement
against tho higher, license. \u25a0' '\u25a0'

During: the session of the. allied'pro
vision trades council, ..representing
i about. lI'.OOO ' members, the subject of
j the most effective method of Inducing
i the people of this city. to replace Asiatic
j help oy white persons .was discussed at
i some length. The following was adopt
ed by unanimous vote, and It, was de
j elded to send a copy to the San Fran
cisco labor council for Indorsement:--
Whereas, public eTlls generally arise through
tuc neglect and refusal or powerful eiasifi*
jof Citterns to perform their clylc, moral aud
i *o?l*I outios jn accordance wlrh reccTilzed
j fctaadarc*. policies *nd ideals of their country,
tb«lr civilization and th«lr race; and . \u25a0
. Whereas. th» national eTll of . the uncniplpTed
li* acoentu*t*d in this city by .ti»e particular
j fact that the unemployed of our own race
\u25a0 bare unnecessarily become so throogli the em
pK^-tn^nt nf Asiatics; therefore be It '
B^olT^d, b.r the allied prorlelon trades coun
cil of San Francisco that we herebr earnestly
appeal to all employers, whether indlrMusls.
! £ra:s or corporations, to materially lessen the
fvil of tbe unemployed, a question now press
j iiif for a rational solution, and respectfully axle
I them to replace their oriental help of every
i description with worthy men and women of the
| white race who are deserving and entltUd to
first consideration at the hands of American
employers.

One of the labor leaders of this city
has received a coinmunicatidn from the
oast ielative to the movement started
by tte central federated union of New
York for the organization of a labor
political party, in which occurs the fol
lowing:
The moTotrur.; has attained considerable force,
but supiwt for the plan seems to be confined
to local leaders In the - state. The national
leaders hare not openly opp<«ed the plan as
jet. but they have not jrone wild over It. John
Alitch^ll. late president of the united mine work
ers of America, when asked' his opinion of the
plvn. said ibat in his judgment tbe time is
not yet -propitious for sucu a movement for
the reaßon that labor in this country as repre
sented by the American federation of labor has
adopted a political projram. '•tod It is not
likely," eaid Mitchell, -that the policy will be
changed, at least until it* success or failure
shrll be demonstrated in the elections In the
fall.
"The policy of tbe American federation of
labor." continued Mitchell, "I» to advecate the
nomination and election to all political offices
of men who are trade unionists, or well known
friends of the trades onion movement. There is
no doubt that tbe failure of congress to enact
laws calculated to protect worklngmen and tbe
notion of the supreme court in declaring un
constitutional many laws enacted for their pro
tection has created a strong sentiment In favor
of the organization of an Independent labor
party. But It seems to me that a movement
of this kind. If it is to have any measure of
success,, must be Initiated in a convention of the
American federation of labor; and as the : next
convention will sot be bold until November it
follows that workmen and those . who are la
sympathy with the worklnginen's ideas will give
their support to candidates for office who are
friendly to or active In their advocacy of rea
sonable legislative demands of the wage earners
of our country, without regard to - party ' af
filiation."
The recipient of this communication
stated that the labor people of this
city during the approaching campaign,
while following in the line of the
American federation of labor in "advo
cating the nomination and election to
all political offices of men who are
trades unionists or v;ell known friends
of Uio trades, union movement," intend
to make sure that those they shall ad
vocate for nomination -or vote for shall '
be such as have by their record proven;
that they are trades- unionists -in fact
as well as in name, and that those who
are classed as "well known, friends' of
the trades' union "movement" have,. a
record that entitles them to be classed
as such." "Strong effort will.be, made ,
in the direction of judicial officers,"*he
said, "and the , labor: force, will', do * its
best to have men placed before the.peop
le as candidates for. Judicial.; offices
who will be worthy of their support.','
\u25a0 • • •
At r the. meeting of the retailiderks
Tuesday night the committee, on, early
closing reported. satisfactory conditions
and expressed the belief that with a
llttlp more hard work • all stores, in
the city will close at 6 , o'clock. » Two
candidates were initiated. A commit
tee, was appointed .to take. preliminary
steps for a labor day picnic to be \u25a0' held
In new Sunset park September 6 and
to be known as Labor, day picnic."
The- retail grocery clerks' union was
host at- an entertainment and ball In

The retail shoe clerks at their last

Gossip of Railwaymen
"Givlng-favors to people; in 'the way
of rediffced rates \u25a0 never : pays," . remarked
a member! of the Transportation club, j
"The man f who. gets • a ' reduced rate j
never appreciates it and invariably
abuses the privilege.
"I recall one. instance of , a well
known \u25a0 citizen^ associated with charity
and charitable organizations, and whose
name. is a synonym for right doing as
an example ,of what : I : say. The ' rail
road in appreciation of.his
zealous \ work :' in', bringing large 'bodies
of to this coast for convention
purposes, granted the members of his
family a reduced rate. «^ . ;
; VOne day he came: into the, office and
said his son wanted" to go up country,
and obtained . a half rate ticket.
!._\u25a0\u25a0: "Unfortunately for him the conductor
knew all the members of , his fam^y
and the ticket was 'taken up. It was
being 1 used by a,, plumber who was
going to work i on his country place."

- Effective March ; 1 the railroad lines
in Oregon and Washington will accept
lumber .shipments under the rates
which were effective prior to Novem
ber 1. witho^- requiring bonds from
shippers to protect themselves . against
such . increase In rates as may be de
termined by the courts In the suit now
pending to prevent the railroads from
enforcing, the rates which they made
effective November 1. The association
of lumber 'dealers, which was formed
for the : purpose, and did bring suit
to prevent the enforcement of this in
crease, will- probably not. bo allowed to
withdraw their bond, as up to the date
of the order referred to above none
but members of ~ the association were
allowed to ship under the old. rates. It
is presumed that . this . concession Is
made owing to the Immense falling oft
in the lumber, business.

returned from tho east and says there
is a • ' better - outlook for business
throughout the country and also a
great dear of inquiry about California,
and • this city in: particular. , With
reference to the new tariff 'he" said:
The cross country railroads ha^e- adopted a
; more economical plan for publistilnc the trans
continental-tariff*, in accordance with the re
quireuients of the interstate commerce commis
sion. At the recent conference of the transcon
tinental tines in Chicago it was found that
under the original plan the initial expense of
publishing the tariffs would be $150,000 and the
cost annually to maintain it about SIOO.OOO. It
was theu docided that careful consideration be
K i ren : to some other and less" expenslTe. plan
uiul a decision was finally reached to publish tbe
: rnteß by states — that Is to make a common point
rate : for all points on railroads In the state
that wore parties to tbe tariff. . and instead of
showing the. list -of points In the Index, to sim
ply show tbe state and under the state the rate
thnt applied -on the commodity. This, would
indicate that the rate applied from all stations
within- the state located on roads that are shown
on the title * page of ' the tarlfT.
A committee waited . on the Interstate com
