The miners trouble Is receiving the at
tenfion Of labor organizations generally al
along the Coast The Brewery wcrknen's
Union OF Gan Francisco sent $50 10 aid the
miners, the typographical Union of Ia
coma sent 500, and various other organi-
zations outside Of Seattle have sent smaller
contributions.
The hand recently organized az Fremont
il meeting with considerable opposition
from the Musicians Union and other
labor unions in the city because rs Mem
beTs are non-unIon men, About al the
professional musicians in the city are
members OF the union, and they insist on
keeping non-union men out Of the field If
possible.
The beer wagon drivers viii probably
not insist on their demand for the discon-
tinusnce Of Sunday work. The Bay View
Brewing Company claims that the estab
lishrnent Of the rule would be a detriment
10 it. as the cellar Is not large enough 20
enable the company 70 deliver sufficient
beer on Saturday 10 last its patrons until
Monday. The drivers say that II the COM
paay can show this statement 10 be fact
they will not insist on the demand. The
company IS willing 70 establish the rule
after the fst Of October, 50 it is likely that
an anicable understanding viii be
reached.
The Carpenters Union appointed com
rnittee a short time ago 10 investigate and
report the exact number of members out
Of work. Out Of upwards Of 80 men in
the union the committee failed TO find
more than twenty who are out Of work
They say there are quite number Of float
ing carpenters out of work, men who come
here strangers and fail 70 find employ
ment, but that the number OF resident
carpenters idle is comparatively small. All
the union men and large numbex Of the
non-union men are asking eight hours
As settlement Of the difficulty on the
Harrisburg block, W. T. Bailey offered 70
pay time and q half for the extra hour,
claiming that il was "a case of extreme
Of the union, and for which time and a
half is 10 be charged. The union took a
different view Of it, 50 no settlement has
been reached as yet
The moulding trade il extremely dull
and but very few men are working in the
city. II is therefore necessarily dull in
the pattern making trade and nearly all
the pattern-makers have left the city
There are not enough left 70 form quorum
in the union and the regular meeting Sat-
urdsy night had 70 be postponed.
The 'longshoremen had fair week, ow-
ing 20 the loading Of wheat ships at the
elevator.
The linemen report work dull at present,
but very few Of the men are idle.
Printers report job work slack, but news
paper work fair.
Cigarmakers report work very dull.
Wharf builders and piledriyers report
work fair.
Matters are quite slack with the ship
wrights at present. But little new work il
being done and only such repairs as are
absolutely necessary.
Machinists and other railroad shop men
report work very slack al present owing TO
the light freight traffic on account Of the
trouble at the coal mines, the product of
which formed large part OF the freight
on the Seattle, Lake Shore e. Eastern and
the Columbia & Puget Sound roads. On
the latter road large number of trainmen
are also idle.
Teamsters report work moderately fair,
though very light for this season of the
year.
