An. appeal from International Bakers
| Union, No. "a, asked for the assistance OF
| the council. The members of the union
| complain that they are treated unJustiy by
the boss bakers, and are compelled TO work
! from fourteen to sixteen hours every day IN
the week for very low wages they say
| they will hereafter stamp the bread made
by them in order that the members Oh all
unions may more readily assist them when
a fight for less hours and better pay is COM
menced. The stamp adoped by the union
was approved by the council.
Secretary Kretlow reported that an at
| tempt had been made TO unionize the San
| Francisco Box Factory. The proprietors
declare they will not interfere with the en-
ployment of non-unon men, and that they
| do not fear boycott. One weeks notice
| of q boycott on the factory was given.
| A report was made that all efforts to
| unionize NJ Davis bakery and restaurant
on Second street had failed, and boycott
was therefore levied upon that establish
ment.
! CARPENTERS AND JoINERs DISSATISFIED.
A delegate from Carpenters and Joiners'
Union, No 4S3, reported that there is con-
| siderable dissatisfaction in his organ iZation
over the fact that cabinet makers are doing
the work of carpenters. There is no OBJ
lection to their doing the work, except that
they are working longer than eight hours
day for less than carpenters wages. The
matter was referred to the Eight-hour Com
mittee for investigation.
Another delegate reported that the pat
| tern-makers at the Union Iron Works are
| being replaced by non-union men. At
least pattern makers not belonging to the
| union are finding employment there.
President Valentine of the lron-molders'
| Union reported that the IRON workers strike
| at the Judson Works, Emeryville, had been
settled and the men would resume work on
Monday. He said that some OF the foun-
dries in this city are now In critical cond-
ton in reference to the molders' strike.
There is some kind of movement on foot
among the founders, but he could not dis
cover its exact nature. During the week
three non-union molders arrived from An
nisUn, Ala, where the AnuiSon Rolling
stock Company had been bankrupted
through the strike of the molderS there.
TO RECEIVE GoSIPERs.
Delegate Davis reported that Woodward 5
given on the night of March 14th in honor OF
the visit of President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor About 10000
tickets for the ball have been distributed
among the various unions to be sold at 90
cents each. As one-half Of the proceeds of
the ball will be devoted to the benefit of the
striking molders, there is no doubt that
tickets will find ready sale.
Delegate Dundas, of the committee ap-
pointed to make arrangements for the re-
ceDtion of Gompers, asked that delegates
! instruct their unions to subscribe as Gber-
ally as possible. All arrangements, he
said, are progressing fayorably.
Five more delegates were then added to
the Ball Committee.
Chairman Fuhruan preferred charges
against Delegate D. L. Dierkes of Carpen-
ters' and Joiners' Union, No. 304, accusing
him of being an enemy to organized labor,
| because he had spoken at meeting of the
troublesome union, No. 16, aud had also
| frequently taken sides with that organiza-
| ton.
The Executive Committee recommended
that Union No. 304 be requested to with
draw Dierkes as a delegate, but this action
was not taken and committee of Ave was
appointed to investigate the charges.
