TROUBLE AMONG LINEMEN.
Several ofthe Telephone Men Discharged
Bad Feeling Over Payday,

Ia
Bad Feeling Over Payday,
There is trouble brewing between the
Pacific Bell Telephone Company and the
linemen in their employ. 1t is difficult to
get at the bottom facts. Sixteen of the line
men left their work on Saturday, and Pres
ident Sabin says they went out on a strike,
The men deny that they are out on strike.
but say that they were discharged by their
foreman because they demanded their
months wages due.
1t appears that the regular PAYDAY with
the company Is on the fourth day of each
month. As the 4th of September fell on
Sunday and as the 9TH was q legal holiday,
the linemen expected to be paid their
months wages on Saturday last. They
were particularly anxious to secure little
spending money to use on the labor holiday
aud they felt very much aggrieved when in
formed that they would not be paid off until
Tuesday. They intimated that they would
give up their places, whereupon the man
agement took them at their word and struck
their names from the roll.
One oil the linemen Informed CALL re-
porter last night that there was no strike.
He and others had been arbitrarily dis
charged simply for asking for their rights.
The service required skilled and exDeri-
enced men, and the work, too. was of a
very dangerous character. The com
pany would have some difficulty in Sc
curing the right kind OF men to fiji
the places OF those discharged. The
linemen in the country would not take
the places of those discharged when they
learn the cause. A conference would be
held to-day with the officers of the COM
pany. and unless the men were fairly dealt
with strike would be ordered which would
involve every lineman In the city. The
linemen, unfortunately for themselves, are
not very well organized. but they are hold
ing meetings In Germania Hail ON Bush
street, and the work Of organization is
being perfected.

HOW an Excited Oaklnn0er Cau5ed
Stampede.
Considerable excitement was caused by
the report that case OF genuine Asiatic
cholera had been taken to the Receiving
Hospital last night.
Shortly after. o'clock a cab drove rapidly
up to the door Of the hospital and wild
eyed man rushed into the operating-Ioom
and Informed DIR. Berry that he had the
cholera. There was general stampede of
|: the curious onloekers that hang about the
place at the announcement, and it was not
until DR.. Berry asceTtained the true cause
OF the disturbance that anybody returned
into the operating-rOom.
The supposed cholera patient gave the
name of hermann Bamberg, and said he
was a dry goods clerk and lived in Oakland
Bamberg came to this city with lady friend
yesterday morning to see the procession,
apd In her company imbbed a large num-
Hermann imagined he had the cholera He
Informed his far companion Of his fears,
and she lostno time in seeking more con-
genial quarters and left her lover to his fate
Bamberg went into a drugstore near by
and explained bis case 20 the clerk, who
promptly threw the supposed cholera ra-
tient into the street and told him to 90 to
the hospital for treatment The frenzied
man finally secured hack and reached the
hospital nearly dead with fright.
DIR. Berry prescribed hot whisky punch
and s small dose of ginger for the patient,
who sadly left the hospital vowing never

while the words are contributed by +. C.
Burnand. editor of London Punch, and

in the score by Ivan Caryll against fifteen
by the original composer. Audran would
