Striking Painters Com
mittees.
The regular afternoon meeting of the
striking painters in the Temple yesterday
was most enthusiastic affair. The reason
was that with very few exceptions the re.
ports of the committees showed that there
are very few master painters now holding
out against the unions demands. A list OF
over sixty boss painters who have given in
was read and received with cheers.
Danielson Of the North Beach committee
made a statement that caused little sur-
prise. He said that all of the shops in the
Latin quarter, except the recognized union
shops, are tied up, and not single foreign
painter is now working. These painters
are all standing firm for the union.
This condition of affairs, Danielson said.
was caused to very great extent by
Pietro Gori, the anarchist. The latter had
been of great service to the committee. as
he had given much of his time to explain
ing TO his countrymen the principles of
unionism and the Importance of ali union
men standing together in trouble and in
peace. A vote of thanks was extended by
the striking painters to the anarchist.
Attention was called to newspaper adver-
tisements for painters and decorators.
The advertiser offered the former So so
and the latter 81 so q day. This was de.
nounced as bosses trick to fill the town
with workmen to fill the strikers places.
