increased from $4,000 to 100000. The D-
rectors also reported that the rent interest
from the Montgomery-street property had
averaged per cent for the past four years.
The usual monthly accounts of the Directors
were also read, and the full report of the
Directors approved. President Baker

sold the money could probably be better
invested elsewhere. Action may be taken
on the recommendation later on.

powered to appoint committee OF nine to
consider the question of providing a home
asylum for INDECENT pioneers in some suit
able country location. The committee will

was on the point of being torn down. The
writer strongly urged the society to take im-
mediate steps to prevent its destruction, and
stated that it could be bought for $1,000 The
matter was referred to the Directors, with
instructions to act Immediately as to It's pos
sible purchase by the society. and tele-
gram was sent to Monterey by the President
ct the close of the meeting.
Cotton Hall is substantial stone build
ing, ana was built by DR.. Cotton from
the fines he collected from gamblers while
he was Acalde of Monterey in 1S49. IL is
now owned by the Monterey School
Trustees, who use it for school purposes
but, being now too small to accommodate
the demands on its space, the Trustees pro-
pose pulling it down and building larger
school house ON the site.

TO 60 BACK TO WORK.
The Long Strike of the holders
Will End To- Day.

The longest struggle that has ever oc-
Cured between employer and employs in
this city will end to-day, as the striking
melders have been ordered by their union
to 90 back to work.
Last night the union held a long and very
animated meeting. On Saturday THE
CALL announced that the adviSability of
proclaiming the strike at an end would be
considered. The result was a very large
attendance of members. Ex- President
Valentine was present, and gave the result
of interviews with the employers, many of
whom were anxious to see the end of the
quarrel.
A resolution to declare the strike off was
then offered and carried by an almost unani-
nous vote, and President Gum authorized
to give the following statement to the press:
In view of the fact that during recent CONVEX
salons with the prOprietOrs, we have learned
that they will not reduce the wages nor ostra-
ciZe any of the men or boys who have been
gagged In the strike, and will ask no questions as
10 an applicant being union man or not. and
that no obj ctiOn would be raised TO unIOniZlng
the shops II we can do so, we have decided to
call a halt. This is done TO prevent by all
means In our power any further suffering on the
part Of our men and boys, and to lei the public
see that we were always anxious 10 end the war
1ate II gwen reasonable assurances that we
would not be driven TO The wall.
The strike commenced November 3, 1889.
twenty months ago to-day. In fourteen of
the largest foundries in the city, including
the Union, Fulton. RiSdOn, National, City,
Occidental and Pacific, the union men
picked up their tools and departed. They
struck because the proprietors had informed
them that the rules of their organization
would no longer be observed, and they de-
cided that that meant the destruction of
their union. About 40 men were involved.
The cOre-makers 10 the number of forty
also struck.
The strike has cost the union and its sup
poTterS three lives and 100000. The Inter
national Union of Molders gave $50, 600 and
the remainder has been given by friendly
unions. Members of tie union who found
employment were assessed So per week for
the support of the strikers, who have re-
ceived 81 per week from the beginning of
the trouble until now. A strong effort will
be made to recruit the union and place it in
the position it held twenty months age.
The Executive Committee of the Carpen-
ters' Union, No. 1873, reports that Contractors
Lawrence and Hussey, VITO have hitherto
obliged their men to work nine hours per
day. have established the eght-hour sys-
TEN.
The COre-makers' Union declared the
strike in the foundries off. The union
donated SIS for the relief of the Franklin
miners.
