They were careless and were continually
breaking some part of the machines. He
said that he knew white girls were more
careful.
ut is rather novelty to see a Chinese
manufacturer insisting on employing
white labor, and l think it is the first in
stance on record. We sent him seven girls
yesterday and to-day eight. We find that
the girls are not disinclined to go to work
in the factory. 1t is not in the Chinese
quarter, and some of them say that they
prefer the positions, as they are not in
terfered with and their money is always
ready for them when their work is done.
OF course, that is only matter of indi-
vidual feeling. We simply supply the de-
mand for the labor from our registered
list, the same as we would any other.
There is one good feature OF the China
mans insisting on his employees registering
through us, as it helps us to keep our
statistics in better shape. If every en-
ployer would do the same we could keep in
touch with the con oition of all classes of
labor"
A visit to Wah's factory on Jackson
street showed that up to date he is keep
ing strictly to his determination. The
fifteen girls who were sent down by the
Labor Commissioner were at work, and
there were several others who had heard

and Health Resort.
The report has been circulated that the
accommodations at Bartlett Springs are in
adequate in size to comfortably house vis-
itors. Though pretty well on to thousand
people have been at this health and pleas
ure retreat this season at once, the number
of new cottages added to the capacity OF
the big hotel, which holds several hundred
people, while we'll filled have afforded sat-
isfactory accommodations. 1t has come to
pass that whenever man OF colossal brain
wishes to give his intellect a complete and
perfect rest he goes to Bartlett. Such men,
tai mastodons as the Supreme Judges have
been found at these springs tnis season, not
two or three, but four. All the giants OF
the mercantile world have infested this
place, and quite sprinkling of literary
notables have been discovered taking items
upon the various phases of life there rep
resented. There is nothing humdrum
about Bartlett Springs any more. Things
are not at all like they used TO be. One
can whirl little to the measure of an Or
and beautiful scenery. If troubled with
stomach, liver, kidney or rheumatic COM
plants, one may drink of the wonderful
mineral springs, which every medical man
OF prominence in the country has Endorsed,
and sit on the piazza of his cottage or
under the shade of trees and enjoy the
company of genial friends. Conversation
is not lost art at Bartlett, but one never
hears discussions of sewerage, fortune
balls, hay fever and kindred topics. No,
they discuss the silver question. In fact,
there are many ways of amusing ones

THREE DIRECTORS RESIGN,
A Split in the Management
of the Mechanics In
Stitute.
Arrangements for the Coming Me-
chanical Exposition Are Nearly
Completed.

The board of directors of the Mechanics
Institute held prolonged session last
evening IN the discussion of details in con-
the 18th inst, and also in regard to the
resignation of three directors who were
recently elected members of the board.
1t has been rumored for some days past
that there were dissensions in the board,
and that certain members did not work
harmoniously together, as result of which
designations would ensue. The first resig-
nation read last night was that of
Alexander Bardett, and in the communi-
cation he stated that while it was Gus TOM
ary to assign reason for resigning he was
frank enough to say that he had none. He
added that he wanted to express his best
wishes to all of his fellow-members.
While the letter was written in rather tart
style Mr.. Bardett's friends in the board
said that he was not in any way put out
because he could not have his way as re-
CARDS the music committee, but that it
was pressure of business alone which
ties of the position. The resignation OF
Henry T. Bush was based upon the same
grounds.
The third resignation was that of Will D..
Fisher, who up to the reading of his letter
sat as q member of the board and took
part in its deliberations. AS soon as the
letter was read he left the room. 1t was a
brief document. IN which he also expressed
his best wishes for the members of the
board and for the coming fair These
letters of resignation were considered in
executive session and the designations
we're accepted. The successors of the three
gentlemen will be named at the next meet
ing of the board. The election of the new
directors will have to come before the
members of the institute.
Many details as to minor privileges in
the coming fair were considered. Among
them was one from Rodney Kendrick to
deck the rafters of the Pavilion with
tissue-paper flowers of all imaginable hues
for $3.50. After long debate for and
against the proposition it was decided to
refer the matter to the committee on
decorations.
The matter of repairing the sidewalk in
front of the institutes property at Six
teenth and Folsom streets was referred to
the building committee.
The report of the fair committee showed
that all arrangements are progressing in a
very favorable manner and tnat the dis
play of exhibits will be more complete
than ever before.

ing machines and make overalls. He
stated that he was willing to pay as good
wages as any other manufacturer in the
business. 1t is true that the wages earned
by the oyerall-makers are not magnificent.
For engineers overalls the rate is IS cents
dozen and for the ordinary ones 65 cents
dozen. Wah told the Commissioner that
he would raise the prices if any other
manufacturers did, and would in other
ways keep abreast of the times.
''He seemed to take quite an interest in
the bureau said Commissioner Fitz-
gerald yesterday, "and promised to have
only girls who have registered here. II
we do not send him enough and he gets
any outside he will have them register
here. We are not having any trouble in
getting the labor he wants, although it is
not to be had at once. They must be COM
petent operators on the sewing machine.
1t is because the Chinese were not careful
that he had the difficulty with them.

During the absence of the committee the
congress was addressed by W. e. Hender-
son, Rev. Tillman Brown and Rev. o. Sum-
mers. Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Brown car-
ried the olive branch of peace in an en-
deavor to create harmony, and Mr.. Sum-
mers addressed his remarks TO the subject
of law on the statute books of Califor-
MIA which is distasteful to the colored peo-
pie in prohibiting the intermarriage of
white people and negroes. He claimed the
law was unfair in its inference-that he
did not uphold such intermarrying, but
thought it unnecessarily harsh to thus
single out the colored people.

tials indorsing the following named dele

time the facts were published in the CALL,
setting forth that the Chinese overalls and
jumper maker had had a difference with
his Mongolian employees regarding the
proposition of charging them for any
damages to any of the machines. The en-
ployes said they would not submit to los
ing any money for breakages, and walked
out thinking, probably. that they were
leaving Wah in fix.
They did not reckon on Wah's original
ideas of conducting his business. He
vowed that he would have no employees of
his own race and hied to Labor Commits
sioner Fitzgerald, informing that official
in choicest pigeon English that he wanted
forty white girls who could operate sew

THE ELECTION COMMISSION
Discussion OF Denman's Age and the
Candidates for the Chief
DeputyshiD.

The Election Commissioners met yes-
terday afternoon but did nothing beyond
discussing the question of Mr.. Denman's S
age once more and talking about the
candidates for chief deputy. Mr.. Castle
wants Mr.. Steppacher and Mr. Foster
wants o. L. Sweet, and Mr. Denman and
Mr.. Wellin are hanging back to let them
fight 1t out. The final decision has been
put off.
The discussion of Mr. Denman's age
was confined to a protest by Mr.. Castle as
to Mr.. Denman's omission in not filing
affidavits as to his years when the ques-
ton first came up.

that he wanted help and called at the
place. They stated that they were per-
fectly willing to register at the labor
bureau. In all Wah has twenty-five oper-
ators at work, and he expects to have a full
force within two days. The apparel which
Wah turns out is all sold to white whole
salers, and, his contracts not being among
his own countrymen, the practical boycott
of the Mongolians which he has inaugu-
rated will not rebound to his disadvantage.
