local Southern Pacific shops and the j
reduction from a six day week to a]
five day week went into effect!
■ The 20 per cent cut in the force was
general In all departments, no dis- j
crimination being made against the j
shops in which the men forming the j
system federation are employed.
•Conference Arranged
. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—A conference j
;■-. has been arranged between Vice Presi- j
dent Julius Kruttsehnitt of the Union j
Pacific and Southern Pacific and the i
international presidents of the trade j
unions Involved in the labor dispute ;
°of shopmen employed by the Harriman |
lines, to be held at San Francisco Sat
lay, September 2, at which another
effort will be made to avoid the threat
; ened strike of 25,000 railroad workers.
.'" J. W. Kline, international president
of the Blacksmiths' union, received a
telegram from Vice President Krutt-.
schnitt today, stating that he would
be in San Francisco until September 2,
j and that he would meet the interna
. tional presidents there.
Kline, after communicating with the
•international presidents, arranged for
the conference in San Francisco.
• - The meeting of the labor leaders,
. 'scheduled for Kansas City on Monday,
' was called off.
• President Kline will meet a commit
tee from the Illinois Central road to
morrow before leaving for San Fran
cisco.
"The calling of a strike of the shop
men on the Harriman lines depends on
; what is done at the conference to be
held at San Francisco with Krutt
-sehnitt," Kline said today. "We insist
that the federated body of workers be
-recognized by the railroads."
J Denial by Kruttsehnitt
OGDEN, Utah., Aug. 26.—Julius
Kruttsehnitt, vice president and direc
. tor of maintenance of the Harriman
railway system, spent a few minutes
today In Ogden in conference with
H. Bancroft, general manager of. the
, Oregon Short Line, before proceeding
ito Jin Francisco. %
When asked if he expected to have a
conference in San Francisco with rep
resentatives of the Federation of" Shop
Employes, he replied:
«" "I do not expect to, although, as I
\ have said many times, I am ready to
meet at any time representatives of
the individual unions.
"I am always ready to confer with
'-them, but am not willing to treat with
the officials of the federation." .
* Discussing the shortening of work
ing hours and the laying off of men
over the system, Kruttsehnitt said:
" "For a long time we were hopeful
that we would not be forced to do so,
but business conditions ' became such
we were.obliged to*. This reduction
was not ' especially directed towards
• shopmen, but applied to all depart
ments.
"There was a proportionately greater
'reduction in the general offices than
elsewhere." . J .
Enginemen Won't Strike ij?.
\ SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 26— The
"four organizations, which embrace the
men employed. in the train service of
i'the railroads of the United States will
i not join a strike of shop workers if
'■the troubles of the latter should result
;'ln a walkout. . 1
\t This was the statement made by
Hugh L, Dickson of Peoria, 111., gen
era! counsel of the Brotherhood ■-•* of
Locomotive Fremen and Enginemen,
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen,
• Dickson gave it as his* opinion that
■ the reduction of shop forces put into
effect today was not a war-measure,
designed to forestall a strike, but was
due to a falling off of business. .
In the event of a strike the railroads
• would have a hard struggle, Dickson
declared, as the shopmen on the Har
riman lines have an organization
\which embraces all branches of shop
" work, with all the resources of the
•American Federation of Labor behind
it.
I. C. Men Ready to Quit

No Time Lost in Registering Patients
Hastily Removed to Uncompleted Shacks
4 Group picture of men '•' tubercular patients^who were suddenly: transferred from Ingleside hospital to uncompleted shacks on the « eve of the primary
election. They were registered yesterday. The portrait is that of Dr. A. H. While, health board official, who when asked for an explanation of the
transfer, said he was "merely an employe and obey cd v orders." He has wed solicitude for the: welfare of the men. ,
MEN ARE LISTED
BRIGHT AND EARLY
Boosters From McCarthy Social
Club Circulate Among Un
nates for Votes
The second step in the administra
tion's Juggling with the lives of the un
fortunate male, inmates of the tuber
culosis hospital, in order to obtain their
votes, was taken yesterday. Registra- j
tion Deputies James Bresnahan J and Al
Peyton appeared bright and early at
the pre-election quarters in the shacks
behind the new city and county hos
pital, to which the patients were hur
rietdly moved on Thursday, and pro
ceeded to register them. By noon every
patient with a vote was qualified to
participate at the primary. *
More anxiety was displayed to reg
ister the men yesterday than to provide
them with warm meals on \ Thursday.
"When Bresnahan and Peyton finished
their work they counted a total of ,43
votes,', of which 25. were new.names.*Of
these about half were bedridden, and it
will be necessary-for.some election of
ficer to mark their ballots qn election
day. - " W^o^^wS^^S^Stm^oßß^
While the registration was in prog
ress ; Dennis J. Murray of the board i of
health arrived and ordered Dr. A. H.
White, warden of the infirmary, to
drive the patients,* who were: sunning
themselves ■ about the grounds, into the
shacks. These were the men in the
first stages of the disease. Although
the : sun :is the best' cure | for it, Murray
authorities on tuberculosis agree that
the. sun is the best cure for it, Murray
informed White that the men should
be J kept within doors; or upon the
porches of the.shacks,,so that visitors
might not view them syrawling all
over the place.
NO ONE TO BLAME
Following The Call's article yester-:
day about the removal • of the con
sumptives consternation reigned among
the .officials responsible. None .was
willing to accept the blame, but sev
eral tried to "'pass the buck" to the
board of health, which, they said, had
ordered the removal a- month ago to
the Almshouse tract. . This would have
required the sick to be housed in tents,
as there is no; room for consumptives
in the relief home. "",..'. .-
Dr. A. H. White was one of those who
disclaimed responsibility for the hur
ried removal of ; the hundred odd un
fortunates from their quarters at. In
gleside, which have sufficed for more
than five; years, but were found to be
inadequate just; at the eve:of an elec
tion. - ■_ . / :,'«-'-'.'.,.',
"ONLY AX EMPLOYE,"' SAYS-WHITE
"I don't know whether this move was
made for political; purposes or not,"" he
said yesterday, "I am only an employe
of the board of; health and ■ I /obey or
ders when I* get them .from my su
periors. We were told by the board of
health to move these patients on the
first of ,- August and at',:first it was
deemed advisable "to - find quarters J for
them on : the Almshouse tract. To do
this would mean a ; continuance of the
tent system for the patients and I in
sisted upon having these i shacks built.
With the help of Doctor Eaton" f and
Dennis Murray and others of the board
we/finally secured an appropriation of
$30 and the buildings were ordered
rushed -to completion." ,:
FENCE WAS LACKING
When Dr. White, who is very much
in: earnest in "•' his f solicitation for the
patients, was asked why j the' men were
singled out for ; removal: "before the
women he laid the blame upon the lack
of - a fence which, he said, was J neces
sary to divide the respective quarters
of the men and the women.fff f :;-f f*
. Dr. T. F. 'Hassett; the Jlnterne In
charge of the occupants of,the 7shacks;
also disclaimed any ulterior motive in
their removal: in haste; from Ingleside
so as to-be housed before registration
closed. Both Hassett and White were
using every effort yesterday; to,; make
the ; sick.' men /comfortable: in spite of
the handicap of partially finished wards
and;lack:of dietary?necessities.: * f |
Health" Officer Murray evinced great j
interest -in ' what -Hassett:. and White ;
we're telling; the 'representatives of The j
Calif 5 yesterday, but he was too* busy j
to be interviewed himself. "^BBBBH
FEARED LOSS OF VOTES
"; Despite the failure I; of anybody to
assume? responsibility for the hustling
of the sick men from -one end of /the
city to the other, and f into ".quarters
only half •, finished surrounded f ; by ;an
atmosphere filled with i lime dust and
cement, the : real reason for it devel
oped/yesterday through the admission'
of fan/employe", at ,< the shacks.
According to his statement the ad
ministration f feared that they would
be/forceds to = remove the patients'from
the grounds at Ingleside between f the
close of registrations and J the: primary
and/thus would lose their votes.
'Of course we were moved so as to
getJ here; in time to :register," he ex
claimed. "Even a blind man*could see
that. ;We made preparations ffor*this'
right after* the first of the month and
nave been ready fto 'go at any time.
The real 'estatespeople who own the
grounds at Inglesidef were willing to

were" finished, but that would run us
over into next week and we f would
