BREAKS THE TIME LIMIT
A Sacramento Contractor of City and
State Street Work Accused of
Violating the Ordinance.

A communication was received at the
Labor Bureau yesterday by Commissioner
Fitzgerald from James Fletcher, stating
that the contractor in Sacramento who
was doing the work of paving the streets
for the city and the State is working his
men ten hours day, and will not employ
any man unless he works that mum Der OF
hours, and that the contractor evades the
law by hiring his men Dy the hour.
The letter further states that the eight
hour law was passed through the efforts
OF the labor union, and that this man is
defying the law, even while working
around the building in which the law was
passed.
The writer is anxious to know why the
Governor does not stop the matter, and
says it was exposed in the Sacramento pa
pers and that the writer intends bringing
1t before the union.
Mr.. Fitzgerald intends making an inves-
tigation of the charges set forth, and seek
to remedy the evil.

Mrs. Addie L. BaIIOu Appointed by the
Tennessee Exposition to Exhibit Cal
ifornian Ladies' Literary Products.
The Tennessee Centennial and Inter
national Exposition, which opened May
for six months, has decided to place on
exhibition the published and manuscript
works of the prominent literary women OF
all the States in the Union.
For this purpose persons have been COM
missioned in each State to select an assist
ant and form a committee to take the
matter in hand.
A few days ago Mrs. Addie L. Ballou OF
this City received a communication from
Mrs. Ann E. Snyder, the chairman of the
literary committee of the woman's board,
stating that she had been appointed, sub
ject to her consent, to carry on the work
in California.
Mrs. Ballou at once signited by letter
her willingness to collate the works of Cali
fornia's female authors, and received very
courteous thanks. Then she appointed
Mrs. Elizabeth Sloper as her assistant.
The unpublished works of the Golden
States lady authors are to be collected,
typewriter and daintily bound. Those
already known to the California public
through the medium of the newspapers,
magazines and periodicals, will be pasted
in dainty scrapbooks, with the author
Books will also be gathered together and
sent on at once.
Both ladies are enthusiastic over their
pleasurable task and declare that they
have already run across many beautiful
literary gems.

ton.

Among the noted arrivals at the Palace
Hotel is ex-United States Senator John B.
Allen, of the State of Washington. Ex-
Senator Allen has long been one OF the
conspicuousm men of the Northwest.
He was three times appointed United
States District Attorney for the Territory
of Washington, first by Grant, then by
Garfield and finally by Arthur. After
ward he was elected delegate to Congress,
but as the election was in March, and as
the State was admitted to the Union few
months thereafter, before Congress could
meet, he never took a seat in it.
But he took higher place. He went to
the Senate and served out the term of
something over four years. Both Senator
Hearst and Senator Stanford were there
when he took his seat, and he served with
them then till their death and afterward.
Mr.. Allen is here on land business. He
has three cases in the United States Court
of Claims, and will probably be here for
some days.
