Judge Murphy Upsefs Pet Scheme OF
hn

Judge Murphy Upsets q Pet Scheme of
the Coroner.
Judge Murphy has dismissed the case
against S. 3. Carlson and others, accused
of violating an order Of tile Board Of
Supervisors by burying Chinesewoman
with out proper permit.
The case was originally tried in the Po-
lice Court. The defendants were accused
of violating Sections and of Ordinance
1852 of the Board of Supervisors, in not get
ting the Coroner or some physician named
by him to sign the death certificate in the
case OF the deceased Chinesewoman.
The general statutes, Sections 3025 and
1884, simply require that in cases where
there is no attending physician or midwife,
any doctor, etc., may sign certificate.
The Police Judge decided the case
agai nst the defendants, and il was appealed
to the Superior Court. Judge Murphy said
that the city ordinance was limitation of
the general law, and therefore void.

At o'clock the last shot was fired. and

FIELD OF LABOR.
The Foundrymen Still Refuse to
Arbitrate.

On Friday the Engineers and Iron-found-

the letter sent to them by Messrs. Bushnell.
Thurman and Sullivan, the committee ap-
pointed by the Federated Trades to arbi-
trate and if possible bring to an end the
unpleasant differences between the foundry

letter considered and the course decided
upon in relation to it:

Now, then, the atmosphere is full Of spec

firm stand taken by the foundrymen. VIII
the Federated Trades take the matter IN
hand? is question frequently asked, but
of course not definitely answered.
Here are few of the possible phases the
fight may assume before 1t is settled: The
Federated Trades may take up the holders
defense and decide to levy assessments on
all the labor organizations that compose
that body. Then there is possibility that
the macnlniSts and boller-makers may be
induced to join the molders. II such should
happen it would simply close up the shops,
nothing short of that.
But whatever the possible phases of the
difficulty may be, nothing will be done
until another attempt to confer with the
association meets with the same stubborn
resistance.
A prominent labor leader expressed the
opinion last night that the apparently firm
attitude of the Fonndrymen is only bold
bluff, really betraying signs of weakness.
of concession to the molders lest the force
they have now employed will turn heels and
desert them. Such state of things would
leave them utterly at the mercy of the
molders, and they do not intend to be
placed in any such position.
The strongest impression of all is, that
the fight has only just begun, and before it
ends will see the bitterest struggle ever
waged between employer and employed.
