(From Wednesdays Da1ly.)

The strike at the brass mill has
spread this morning to include some
thing like 1913 men and boys. At the
time for going to work this morning
most all the strikers gathered at the
mill. They were just as peaceable and
orderly as any Sunday school ever was.
While standing about several of the
men who did not go out Tuesday joined
the ranks, swelling the number to
about the number given above.
AS they had done Tuesday, they
formed themselves into a procession
and marched down through Main
street again. They reached the street
about 8 O'CLOCK and were headed by a
drum. They marched about eighty
strong, having the reed department
boys with them. They went down to
Market square and countermarched,
returning by way of Main street, Park
avenue, Park place, Prairie avenue,
Ann street and Elizabeth street to the
Balm orchard. Then as had been done
Tuesday, they held an informal meet
ing. The roll was called and all those
whose names did not appear on the roll
were enlisted.
After all the names had been placed
OH the list, John O'Hare's attention was
called to the news item in the NEWS
concerning the strike. Mr.. O'Hare
said he would read the item. This he
did in loud, clear tone. The article
met the approval of every man. Tony
Hansen moved that the News be
thanked for its fair treatment and full
report. The motion was carried unan-
imously and uproarously. The ap-
proving compliments were many and
hearty.
Frank Stringham moved that the
NEWS man who was present at the
meeting be requested to address the
meeting. Mr. Johnston detailed to the
men the action which had been taken
by the Business Mems association in
appointing committee of three con-
sisting of Nessrs. KiIleen, Hall and
Grant. He then told them that it
would be necessary to formulate their
requests in a business way SO that the
committee would have something to
! work on. He counselled peace and

and have been getting recently some
$l.lO per day, others $1.15 and still
lothers $1.333. They were working
mostly on copper.
These men, remarked Mr.. Frost,
have builded better thanthey knew
for Us. We can very much better shut
down that department than run it at
all, at present prices. This will let us
out of lot of cheap contracts we have
had on hand that we were losing money
on all the while, so we are satisfied"
The greater proportion of the men
OF. are married men with families.
Trey claim that they are unable to ex-
ist on their low wages, and that they
are constantly running behind, not
withstanding they are paid their wages
regularly. They claim to be totally
unable to meet their bills with their in
comes. The men appeared to be for
the most part sober, industrious men,
who have been driven to the step out of
necessity.
The committee returned to the crowd
in the orchard and explained carefully
all that had taken place. 1t appeared
very evident that the company would
not raise wages, so steps we're taken to
prepare for future action. After the
return of the committee one of the Sal
walton army addressed the men coun-
selling peace and arbitration, and urged
that they do not think OF violence. Mr..
Marden was called up next. He said
he believed the cause of the men a good
one. He believed the sympathy of the
community was with them. He ten
dered his services and pen to their
cause and said he hoped they would
hold together to win.
Some one then proposed that COM
mittee of business men be visited to see
if they would take a hand toward help
ing them get better wages. This was
discussed in a most dignifed and pleas
ant way, but did not finally prevail. A
suggestion was thrown out that mas
much as the Business Mems association
was to meet this evening that COM
mittee Of the strikers be appointed to
lay the whole matter before the associ-
alton, if possible, and request that a
committee be appointed to confer with
the Brass company with the object of
securing better pay for the men. This
suggestion was embodied into a motion
and was carried unanimously. The
Committee appointed consists Of Frank
Stringham. John O'Hare and Mat
Goergen.
The men next thought it quite prop
er to appoint committee to see the
rest of the men in the mill and invite
them to meeting at o'clock this af-
ternoon in the orchard, at which time
they we're to be invited to join in the
strike. This having been decided on
the roll was called. Every man being
present and approving of all that had
been done the meeting dispersed.
At l o'clock when the strikers were
to have been called together again in
the orchard there was not man in
sight. Everything was as quiet as a
church yard. Ten more men struck at
noon, making the total number out
eighty.

Strike at Mattress Works.

About seventeen men left the foun-
dry department of the Northwestern
Wire Mattress works this morning.
There is no question of wages, properly
speaking, involved in this strike. 1t is
based on the fact that the company de-
sired to cut the hours down from ten to
eight for couple of months during the
dull season and pay the men proper
tionately the same rate of wages. This
the men objected to and picked up their
dinner pals and left. There were
about twenty-five men employed in the
department. The rest remained.

the chances of an immediate meeting were
not good.
But every one knew that the Board of
Police and Fire Commissioners met on
Tuesday afternoon, and that then the
three warning Commissioners must meet
face to face.
What might happen no one dared to
prophesy, but the bets were evenly divided
between a free-for-all or catch-as-catch-ca
And the meeting came. Mayor Davie
was there, City Engineer Wilson was there
and City Attorney Peirsol was there.
They met by the round table, bowed to
each other with the most elaborate courtesy
and sat down. Mr.. Wilson was IN the
chair and called the meeting to order.
Even the proverbial glare which war
ring city officials are supposed to scatter
upon each other at favorable times was abb
sent.
MIR. Wilson glanced at file of claims
that lay before him and passed them to
Mr.. Peirsol for examination. Mr.. Peirsol
eyed them for awhile and passed them
over to Mr.. Davie. All was done with the
utmost punctiliousness and not gesture
was missing. 1t was merely routine ses-
sion, and not a ripple broke its quiet.
There was no mention of possible re-
movals in the Fire Department, and it is
authoritatively stated tonight that re-
movals will not be made anyway before
three weeks or q month.

TRUSTING WOMEN.
ESPECIAL TO OUR LADY nEADEns.l

1t is a gerry sad fact that the more
woman trusts to the skill of her physician
in treating her female complaints, the
longer she is apt to suffer.
lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this
fact when she commenced that exhaus-
tive study that has enabled the women OF
the world to help themselves. She dis
covered the source of female complaints,
and produced the Vegetable Compound,
which is their absolute cure.
When such testimony as the following
is given, the woman who thinks should
act quickly, and no longer permit herself
to trust to incompetent doctors. The
Vegetable COMPOUND is sold by all drug
gists, and every VOL should have it.

The annual report of Mrs. J. P. Ames,
acting president of the West Oakland
Home for Children, shows an encouraging
outlook for the institution. Mrs. Ames
states that during the hard times there
was lack of funds and consequent lack OF
room; but the conditions are now veer-
ing little, and with proper support IN
the future the ladies feel confident OF
success.
"That most of the children cared for by
this home have been immeasurably pene-
tited,' she writes, "must be apparent 10
any one who knows how wretched were
the homes from which they come. When
our boys and girls approach the age OF IA
years very serious difficulty contronts US.
What is to be done with them? The State
allows us nothing for their support. and
even if it did it would not be wise 10 keep
them long beyond that age, especially the
boys. Shall we send them out thus poorly
equipped to obtain their own livelihood r.
The report of the secretary, j. Alex
Campbell, makes the following showing:
Since our last annual meeting the affairs OF
the home have continued to prosper. We
have been able TO pay all current expenses and
reduce the Indebtedness on the property to
$500, and hope within few months to have
Cancelled. The receipts during the year have
amounted 10 $l3, 303 10, and the disburse-
ments to So, S24 %.
The number of children in the home at the
last annual report was 101; admitted during
the year, 81; total 1872. Given for adoption
during the year, 12 withdrawn by parents or
guardians, 43; deaths, II; total, 81. Number
in the home at the present time, 123.
The annual election resulted in the Sc
lection of the following officers: President,
Mrs. William Crocker, San Francisco ;

The story printed some days ago in this
paper calling attention to the inability of
the city officials to supply the request of
the officials of other cities for information
of Oakland, has already borne fruit. A
number of men who have the welfare OF
the city at heart have communicated to
the Mayor their intention of subscribing
literally toward a report of this city that
will deserve its name.
81 am going to take the matter in hand"
said the Mayor to-day, land my ideas are
class city in the United States. It will be
a report that / shall feel proud to send to
any Mayor and library in the country, and
it will do this city some good. The main
thing is the water front.
at is the foundation of Oakland future
prosper ity. A plan of the whole front,
showing the portions that have become
the property of the various owners through
their having improved them and the
portions that are available for leasing,
would be the best thing that Oakland could
send broadcast into every commercial CEN
ter. | shall have it all included in the
book, and, while attending to the CONNER
cial features, the many beautiful sections
of the city will not be neglected. There
are thousands of people here who do not
know where they live. They know they
live in Oakland, and that is all. Not long
ago San Francisco merchant sent me
several questions to answer. I Obliged
him and he sent reply: why did not
we know these things before? Surely Oak
land must have circulated these facts.
'.Of course, they had not been circulated,
and when people want to know what this
place is and what we have here, they have
had to be content with paper-backed re-
ports of estimates and other interesting
stuff similarly interesting.
"But we will soon be in better position
as regards blowing our own horn. l have
plenty of financial support for the project,
ana shall get to work on it at once"
About year ago the real estate dealers
of this city recognized the need OF such
movem ent as that now being supervised
by the Mayor, but it has not been heard of
for long time.

Conspicuous among the early arrivals at

was DR.. W. Clark Robinson of Edinburgh.
DR.. Robinson was classmate of Emperor
William of Germany at Bonn.
He was the center of an interested group
of listeners Wednesday morning in the
corridor of the hotel, when he told of his
first meeting with the German Emperor.
at was in the fall of rs, he said, "when
I first met the Emperor. He was then a
student at Bonn. shall never forget the
amusing spectacle he presented. You
know, it is the custom of the students at
Bonn to take daily plunge in the waters
of the Rhine. For the new men this is q
trying ordeal.
when they go down to the Rhine to
take their first swim they are repeatedly
ducked by the older students until they
cry for mercy. Every one was on the look
out for the Princes initial appearance, and
when he ventured into the river he was
ducked numerically. But William would
never give up. Down again and again
went the future Emperor's head, but he
pluckily refused to give up. Finally, when
he had reached the verge OF total collapse,
he was pulled out of the water, looking

early student days at Bonn and said he
would like to repeat them"
DR.. Robinson has obtained the degrees
of B.A., MA, DC. L., LID, and Phi.

university extension movement in Amer
