LABOR STRIKES.
One Hundred Men We're Called
Out Yesterday.
Lewis MUIR, Shoe Manufacturer, Refuses to
Recognize the Union, Also the Truckee
Box Factory.

Now the shoemakers are on the warpath.
Yesterday afternoon fifty league men were
called out of Lewis Murr's factory, Al and
As Stevenson street
This trouble is principally on account OF
one man. For many years past William
Samuels has been instructor in Chinese
factory; in fact, remained there as long as
they had any use for him, according to the
statement of the league Secretary. When
he lost his position there he made appilca-
ton to the league for membership, so he
could go to work among white men. Inc
league spurned his application and would
have nothing TO do with him.
Murr's employees were all members of the
league, although MUIR himself never had
much use for unions of any kind. To the
surprise of all, when they went to work on
Wednesday there was Samuels, as much at
home as anybody in the factory.
The Shop Committee informed the Super
intendent and proprietor that The men could
not work with him. They were laughed at.
The Secretary of the league then went to
see Samuels to persuade him TO leave the
shop and save trouble. The Secretary was
thrown out of the factory bodily. Finally
a committee from the league waited on ME-.
MUIR, and after a three hours conference

Mr.. MUIR informed them that he cared moth
ing for the league, would not recognize it.
and did not wish to have his factory known
as a union shop.
That was plain enough for anybody. and
would admit of no misconstruction. There
was then but one thing left for the league
walk out; and they did. In five minutes
there was no one left in the shop but the
foreman, some girls and one apprentice.
What the next turn of events will be no
one among them was prepared to guess.
The committees of the league and Council
of Federated Trades may he able to patch
it up and convert Mr.. MUIR, but thai is
purely specu lation.

Adolph SutrO and the Water Company
at War Over Seventh Avenue.
In relation to the change of the Market
street sewer. as proposed by the Harbor
Commission some time ago. SO as to make it
empty into the bay several blocks north of
its present outlet, and enable the commits
sion to procee with the construction of the
seawall at the immediate foot of Market
street, the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors empowered the Street Superin-
tendent yesterday to go ahead with the
work as planned by the Harbor Commission.
The new outlet will be near the foot of Clay
or Washington streets.
The agents of the Spring Valley Water
Company, Adolph Sutro and many others,
appeared before the committee to discuss
the extension of Seventh avenue. Herman
Schussler, engineer of the company, wanted
the grade OF the avenue, near the crossing
OF X street, so modified as to enable the
company to retain its reservoir where it is.
Mr.. Sutro and others opposed the whole
scheme vigorously, and demanded that the
avenue be opened and the reservoir wiped
out. No conclusion was reached and the
matter was postponed until Monday next
A petition for the right to lay gas-plpes in
the streets was presented by A. j.. Clunie
in behalf OF new gas company about to
organize, but consideration Of the same was
also deferred until Monday.
j. BTickell petitioned for the opening OF
Amity alley, from Chestnut street to Mont
gomery avenue, and based his application
ulon an opinion of the City and County At
torney that it is public street. Charles
Harris petitioned that the alley be closed,
basing his application upon an opinion of
the City and County Attorney that it is not
a publiRstreet. The matter was laid over
until NJ Monday after discussion by attor-
neyS for the respective parties.

manager. arrived at the City Prison yester-
day in charge of Sheriff Hensley Of Fresno,

doomed TO spend the remainder of his life.
Stillman qnarreled with Fske about
money matters, claiming that he had been
robbed by him out Of large sums, and one
day in an excited moment shot him dead on

The Jury That Tried Davidson Finds T.
Verdict of Not Guilty.
The case against Robert Davidson was
quickly disposed of yesterday morning by
verdict of acquittal. Davidson is the s,rik-
ing iron moder who was arrested on a
charge Of attempting TO learn the contents OF
a telegram by offering to bride messenger
boy. Charles Hilpert, another molder, was
arrested on the same charge.
The first witness called was l.. w. Slower,
of the Pacific Postal Telegraph Company.
He was asked if the messenger boy in queS-
tion was an employee of that company, and
replied in the negative. Il might add,
said he, I'VE employ no messengers

able emphasis.
Davidson's acquittal makes Hi'pert's con-
viction out oil the question, and on that
ground MIR. Koran moved that the informa-
ton against him be dismissed. Judge Van
Reynegom has taken it under advisement.
The facts of these cases are as follows:
In The midst of the excitement that followed
the iron moIders' strike last spring the
foundrynen were receiving more or less tel
egtams from the East every day in regard to
the employment of non-unon molderS.
TIE strikers had their pckets out in every
direction trying TO intercept all newcomers
and get whatever Information they could
bearing on the plans and movements of the
fouudrymen.
Davidson says he saw messenger boy
coming up the street with telegram for one
OF the foundrIes, and In playful way called
out TO him Here. little one, what have you
got there. telegram? I'll give you four
bits if you'll let me see it,
That ended the interview. The boy was
not molested. and delivered his message
without disordering its rontents. His report
at headquarters OF the conversation that
took place was what caused the arrests.

A MINSTREL'S LAY.
A Lively Scene at the Sacramento Rail
road Depot.

Lively scene at the sacramento Rail-
road Depot.
Visitors to the passenger depot Tuesday
were treated to a lively scene that afforded
Unlimited merriment while it lasted.
It appears that when the Cleveland Min
stres showed at Ell Paso one of the men,
bers became seized with a fancy for a robust
darby, native of ole Lone Star State. The
aequain lance was so agreeably mutual that
The gay minstrel proposed to his new friend
that he ought to go along with the troupe
and see something of the world. The invi-
tation @as pressed, and when the minstrel
offered to foot all bills for the benefit of his
friends company, the latter wrapped up his
raper collar and and shirt-front and came
along.
Everything went along finely, the friend
ship fast ripening into regular Damon and
Pythlas affair, until last Friday evening,
when the ClevelandS gave their first per-
Torrance at the METROPOLITAN.
The Texan had been always accorded the
freedom OF the stage and might have en-
joytd that privilege still had it not been for
the fact that when his minstrel friend pro-
ceeded to don his citizens outfit after the
show lie learned that his brooches had been
despoiled of $50.
1t SO happened that the Texan and the
coin disappeared about the same time and
the man of gags aud timber limbs began to
suspect something from the Simultaneous
Gess OF the disappearances. There was an
estrangement right there. The breach was
widened Later ON when the minstrel learned
that his friend. who had hitherto been pen
niess, had been pushing craps" for coin in
an L-street joint.
The MINISTRIES returned to town Tuesday
from Stockton, and while they were at the
depot the two men met.
The minstrel was mad. The sight of his
false friend palled upon his sight, and he
made for him. The Texan had his weather
eye open, and cautiously waited until the
minstrel got within few feet of him and
whipped out razor, with the exclamation {:
You scoundreli Pil cut your throatW
Then lively race began, extending the
length OF the depot, across Second 10 the
Free Exposition building, and around that
structure several times, amid the jeers and
cheers OF large number of people.
The CLEAN of the razor could be seen flash
ing in the morning sun. but it never got
near enough to do any more than CLEAN, for
the minstrel was too fleet OF foot.-Sacra-
menlo Bee, Nov. II.

STRIKING BoX-MAKERs.
Fifty Men Leave the TrucI<ee Factory.
Nor, Trnnnic Ahead

Fifty Hen Leave the Truckee Factory.
More Trouble Ahead.
The box-sawyers have struck in the
Truckee Box Factory. Trouble has been
brewing here for a long time and it reached
a climax yesterday when the manager, J. 5.
Merguire, discharged two of the best union
men in the shop. When committee asked
him TO reinstate them and he refused about
fifty men quit work. Five men remained in
the factory. One of these-a man uamed
NJ. SeeriBg-was a member of the union.
The delegates from tile union to the
Federated Trades will ask that body. Friday
night, to place boycott on the Truckee
factory.
Just how extensive the hox-sswyers'
strike will he depends on the attitude of the
other factories toward the Truckee. If aid
~ extended it will be resisted, otherwise no
rupture elsewhere will occur. There is a
little friction between the union and the
San Francisco Box Factory. but it may not
amount to an outbreak. The union thinks
that Dir. Carrick, one Of the proprietors, has
not acted fairly by them.
