Laoorers Wanted - The Demand
Greater than sbe supply.
SAN FRANCISCO, June l0.-The
manager Of the Free Labor EX-
change reports that he cannot ii
the orders for men, now coming in
from the country. Laborers are
in demand at wages varying from
81 to 81 so per day, but those of
the Workingmen who are out of
employment here seem indisposed
to accept those wages. 1t is con-

tion there may be less difficulty in
filling orders for help, many pre-
ferring to remain here, where they
have acquired residences, until the
election is over.

Lurcb.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10th.-A
meeting of the unpaid creditors OF
the Musical Festival was held this
afternoon at which manager Bug
bee and the Executive Committee
made partial statement of the
condition of affairs, from which it
appears that the receipts from all
sources were nearly S24 900, all of
which, it is claimed, had been paid
out, leaving claims to an amount
estimated at from $1,000 to $40, 900
unsettled. The meeting appointed
a com mittee of FIVE to examine the
accounts and vouchers and, if pos
sible, ascertain what has become
of the money received. There Is
little probability of the outstand-
ing claims being paid. The bulk
of the unpaid bills are for advertis-
Ing and printing.
