ORGANIZED LABOR.
Northern Brewers Make Peace
With the Union.

There will be no conflict for the present
between the brewers of Washington and the
Brewery Workmen's Union of which Alfred
Thurman is the aggressive chief.
About two weeks ago the beer-makers of
Tacoma and Seattle informed Thurman that
they found the rules established by the
union burden grevous To be borne. They
could not see how they could continue 10
make money and pay their workmen SIS to
SIT per week while they labored but nine
hours per day. They could not do it, and
they would be glad to know whether Fuhr-
man could not relax the rules they had been
forced to adopt and allow them to compel
their men to work longer or accept lower
wages. Fuhrman's answer was an emphatic
refusal. The union had worked too long to
establish the rules that were obnoxious to
the brewers. and it would not relax them,
but would hold the bosses to their agree
ment.
Last night the brewers answer came. 1t
was eoncillatOry in tone and Informed the
workmen that the beer makers of Seattle
and Tacoma had decided to bear the burden
placed upon them by the union and would
not violate the agreement establishing the
number of hours to be worked per day and
tho number of dollars to be paid per week,
and thus the cloud that was mo bigger than
mans hand has been driven from the
northern horizon.
The brewery workmen are negotiating
with the owner for five years lease of a
large building in this city, which, if OBJ
tained, will be their headquarters. The
building will contain an assembly-ronm
large enough to seat 800 persons. billiard
and refreshment rooms and fifteen bed.
rooms, which will be furnished with cots for
members of the union during a protracted
lockout or strike.

A DOGS SORROW
Displayed Beside His Drowned
Masters Boat.

That dogs have keen intelligence is
often proved by the affection they show for
persons to whom they become attached.
There was most pathetic incident of this
kind in connection with the drowning Of
crab-fsber named Wilson, whose empty
boat was found last Thursday in Potato
Cove.
When the boat was discovered high and
dry on the shore large black-and-w bite
Newfoundland dog that had accompanied
Wilson for years during his fishing excur-
si0ns from his home at Harbor View, sat
beside the stranded craft patiently await
ing the return of his master. The animal
whined pite0usly as a party of Wilson's
friends, including his son-in-law, ap.
preached.
whats the matter, old fellow?" asked
the young man as he patted the dog on the
head. This bit of sympathy seemed to in
crease the dogs misery and his grief broke
forth anew in means and howls. All at
tempts to coax the animal away from his
post beside the boat were without avail
Great streams of tears welled down over his
: shaggy face as his pitifnl wailing increased
and all efforts to soothe him only made his
grief the greater.
Finally some one took hold of the sorrow
ing dogs collar and tried to lead him away,
but he struggled and fought SO furiously
that the men were compelled to depart

HIS LAST CALL.
Sad Suicide of Soldier on
Angel Island.

The soldiers on Angel Island were startled
by the report of a rifle about 80 o'clock
yesterday morning. The noise came from

sight met their gaze.
On the floor lay the body Of Private Harry
Gunkle of Company b, First United States
Infantry, and by his side lay the weapon
with which he had ended his life. An in
yestigation showed that Gunkle, who had
been detailed for duty in the kitchen, had
secured the cooks rifle ana after taking the
shoe off his right foot lad mounted a soap
box and leaning on the muzzle of the
weapon pulled the trigger with his toe.
The bullet entered the body close to the
navel and came out at the base Of the skull
After passing through the body of the I'M
fortunate young man the lead tore a large
hole in the ceiling.
Gunkle was about % years old, aud had
been in the service two years. For some
time he had acted strangely, and some of
his comrades thought he was crazy. Twice
before he had attempted to commit suicide,
and was only prevented by the prompt
action of his comrades
During the last Indian outbre ak Gunkle
went to the front and did good service. At
one time he was a reporter on paper in
Oakland, and then went north. He tried
several times to get transferred to some
other company, but did not succeed I'm
less the remains are claimed by his friends
they Will be buried on the island to-day
