Old Employees of the Malleable IroE
Works supplanted by Non-UniOn Men.

Old Employees of the Ma1leabIe Iron
Works suppIanted by NOn-UniOn Men.
The employees of the Malleable Iron
works have a grievance and this morning
there is considerable excitement among
them.
The state of affairs. as far as could be
learned, is this. On Wednesday, October
% the firm had notice posted in their
founderies stating that on that day the
works would be closed for repairs and
that on the following Saturday the men
would be paid in full The works
closed as stated and the men have not
worked since but have been waiting all
this time for operations to start again.
In the meantime the men have dis.
covered that the firm has been advertis-
ing in the New York World for men. On
Wednesday the company had seven
molders brought here and put them to
work.
The men employed are non-Uniou men
and have gone to work at 20 per cent less
wages than the rates fixed by the Union.
The locked out employees of the Malle-
able Iron Company waited on the firm
yesterday and asked them what it all
meant. They were told curtly that it
was none of their business; that they
would hire whom they pleased, and that
none of the old Union men would be re-
employed
This the men consider a great wrong
to them as they should have been in
formed of this matter before, for in thai
case the most Of them would have haC
situations by now. They also think it il
inconsistent for men to oppose organiza
tions of working men while they havl
organizations of their own.

There was a dog fight at Taylor and
Bennett streets yesterday afternoon,
which illustrated forcibly the fact that
the dog which makes the most noise is
not always getting the best Of the battle.
One Of the belligerent dogs was bull
dog and the other was a shepherd dog.
The shepherd made so much noise
and the the bull dog kept so quiet that
some people thought the latter canine
was being killed, but he wasn't. He
had Just taken hold Of the big dog and
gone to sleep. When the shepherd dog
got tired of yelping, and wanted to 60
home he found he would have TO take the
bull dog with him. After some trouble
the dogs were separated and each went
his way

Coincidence, Rosina Vokes, who has been
meeting with such great success at the
Baldwin Theater in San Francisco for the

that she has an excellent company OF

On Monday last Miss Louguth, who re-
sides at S11 street, lost pair of diamond
earrings. On the following day she ad-
vertised her loss in the RECORD UNION.
Yesterday feeble-looking and ragged man
called at her house and to her astonish-
ment handed her the earrings. He said
he had found them AMI apo, ogized for not
returning them sooner.
why, how is it that you did not sell
them ?" asked the lady who had not yet
recovered from her establishment and was
wondering how man in his apparent
poverty-stricken condition could have re
sisted the temptation to dispose of the
jewels.
The man drew himself up with pride
and explained that though he was hungry
and without clothes enough to keep him
warm he would not stoop to dishonesty.
He gave his name as d. NJ. Hall. The
lady rewarded him literally.

STOCKTON. November 24th.-The Stock.
tons won to-day's game from Sacramento
with the bat. The ground was in a
wretched condition. It was very muddy
and it was difficult to obtain a footing.
Errors were numerous on that account.
Zeigler and Harper were the opposing
pitchers. Zeigler was hit hard from the
start Harper, Wilson and Hurley getting
three hits apiece, and Fudger and Buckley.
two each. Harper was sized up for eight
hits and struck out six men. Sacramento
scored the first run in the second inning,
Selma taking first on balls, second on a
sacrifice and scoring on McHale's safe shot.
The Stocktons tied the score in the fifth
inning, Wilson hitting safely, and scoring
on Hurley's single. The Sacramentos
made two in their half of the fifth Rob-
erts got to second on an overthrow of How
ards to first and scored when Powers fell
in trying to hold the throw of Ebrights of
Newbert's grounder. Newbert scored on
KnelPs hit. In the sixth the Stocktons
cannonaded Zeigler for five runs. Stock
ton scored two more in the eighth and two
in the ninth. Wilson carried off the field
ing honors of the game, putting up great
ball at third. McHale made his first pro-
fessional appearance and caught well.
Hurley caught a good game, accepting
thirteen out of sixteen chances. Follow

Big Guns Fined.

Manager Robinson, of the Oaklands, was
in earnest Saturday about playing Carroll,
Van Haltren and Brown in yesterday S
game for the pennant. He hired the three
players and had them on the ground. But
this did not leave things just right in the
Stockton and Sacramento teams. of which
Van Haltren and Carroll were mem bers
respectively. These two mines were sched-
uled for game at Stockton yesterday. and
of course needed the two players men,
toned. AS these two worthless were at the
Bay and refused to leave, the country
teams were in bad mess. Amateur play
eTs had to be pressed into service in order
to get the game through. The managers of
both teams were naturally indignant. Car
roll was fined $500 by Manager Gleason of
the Sacramentos-tha being the amount OF
the big catcher's salary yet due him-and
Van Haltren was docked for $3.50 by Man
ager Harris of the Stocktons.

The people crowded into the field, climbed

audience, and the noise was deafening.
Brown, Van Haltren and Fred Carroll APP

cordingly forfeited the game to the Oak

for the championship with the regular
Oakland nine, and the Oaklands won by
score of to 4. Had Clarke been sup
