FITZGERALD SURPRISED.
The New Labor SSiOner
Speaks of His Appoint
ment.
He Thinks the Criticisms Passed
Upon Him Are Very
Unjust.

The new Labor Commissioner, E. l..
Fitzgerald, is much surprised at the severe
criticisms which have been passed by the
labor leaders upon his appointment to
office. He thinks it somewhat unjust too,
that they should start in to find fault be-
fore he has had chance to show whether
or not he will fill the position satisfactorily.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is a real estate man. He
lives in Berkeley, but is as well known on
this side Of the bay as in Alameda County
This opposition is surprise to me, -
he said, 'for had no idea there was any
objection on the part of the labor men to
my taking the Office. 1 did not need it in
the first place, and when l was asked if |
would take the place I said that if by my
Endorsements and recommendations, the
Governor thought I could creditably fill
the position, would take it. He evidently
thought l could, for he appointed me. I
never knew there was rivalry among the
candidates for the place, in fact | knew of
but three-Senator Goucher, man named
Ward, a member of the Typographical
Union of San Francisco, and myself.

dent of the organization of the unem-

remedy them. 1 intend to devote my en-
tire time to the position, and will use every
effort to help along the cause of labor in

of work may put their names, and all those
who are seeking help can come and secure
it by that means. What money is ex-
pended by me or by my deputies will be
be run at all times in the interests of the
laboring men,"
The new commissioner has taken con-
siderable interest in the labor movement,
and brings to his Office good knowledge
of its needs and details. He says he has
studied the work of labor commissions
in the United States and elsewhere, and
has become familiar with the general work
ings of the office 1t has been urged
against him that he was entirely without
knowledge of the labor question, and had

last night and did not take it straight
either. Telegraph my arrival, hours and
minutes"
This was the message borne by the hon.
ing pigeon Mercury, winner of the race be-
tween Oroyille and Berkeley, which took
place last Tuesday. Mercury is owned by
A. Carlisle, bird-fancier, who is trying to
make pigeon-racing popular sport. Mr..
Carlisle is owner of the Blue and Gold
Lofts at Berkeley, where he has devoted
considerable time and attention to the
breeding of pigeons. His birds are from
the stock of Theodore P. Green of Newark,
n. j., who has one of the largest lofts in
the United States, and who has expended
a fortune in following his favorite fad
Carlisle has been flying birds for wears,
and possesses fund of information on the
subject that shows a deal of close study
and extensive observation. A few days
since he addressed a letter to F. w. Meyer,
business manager of the Oroville Mercury,
| who, by the way, is something of fancier
himself, asking that gentleman to receive
some Of his birds by express and send
them home over the air line. The propo-
