sociation reviewed the situation quite
freely yesterday from his point of observa-
tion.. He declared that so far as his asso-
citation was concerned the strike was not
recognized fact, and, he added, with Jere-
miah Sullivan, fellow member, that one
fourth of the men who quit work will never
q gain be employed in association shops.

"tbat is, those of Us who have anything to

needed men would call upon me. / have

FEARS OF TREAcHERY.
A Slight Internal Difference in the
Union Was Quickly Rectified
Yesterday,

The regular meeting of the Painters
Union last evening was particularly inter-
esting, because, for the first time. things
were said that were evidently calculated to
throw discredit upon some of the principal
leaders and most active workers. So far
matters have progressed with remarkable
harmony, and each has had full confidence
in the other, barring, of course, the very
few that were known to have been false to
their union obligations. The hall at LIS
Turk street was crowded. and seventy-five
new members were initiated. Later in the
evening it developed that seven of the lot
were car-palnters, working nine hours
day, and that the work they are on will
last for some time longer. Consequently
q protest was raised, on the ground that
they could not live up to the obligations
they had just assumed.
First, all members of the union are or
dered to De out on a strike, and, second,
no union painter is allowed to work over
eight hours. The new members stated, in
defense, that McIvor, Rose and Ames had
given them permission to join the union
with the understanding that they could
continue to work and to work nine hours
day. OF course this created small
rumpus of dissatisfaction because no one
in the union has the right to grant special
privileges.
Rose said that some time ago he told
some painters to send in their applications
and discuss the situation with the COM
mittee on credentials. He thought II
would be all right, but be granted no
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-24

special privilege. Ames and Mclvor also
denied that they had assumed such re.
sponsibility, and the latter denied remem-
bering the faces of the car painters. The
car-painters were given their initiation fee
and allowed to retire. Those whose names
were mentioned apprehended that certain
forces were at work to cast discredlt upon
them and thereby create internal dissen-
sion. However, if such attempt was made
1t failed, for the best of feeling prevailed
after the matter had been Strengthened
out.
Several painters arrived during the day
from San Jose and Sacramento, but they
were me: by the strikers and taken into
the union.
Great enthusiasm was shown when the
following letter was read:
To trhom it may concern: Members of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific must not take the
places of striking painters. Any member OF
the Sailors Union found taking such places
will be strictly dealt with according to the
rules of the union. ED ROSENBERG,
Secretary pro tenn. Sailors Union.
This settled troublesome question, as
it was stated that the bosses had threat
ened to finish their contracts with sailors
who run ashore for q few days light work
and tobacco money.
1t was reported that the strikers scored
another victory. A non-union crowd OF
pape-rhangers and painters were at work
fitting up the Original Creamerie at 865
Market street. The strike committee in
duced F. w. Marston, one of the proprie-
tors, to dismiss the non-union workers.
The matter of foreman came up and it
was decided that no painter who actually
works with brush can be considered as a
painters foreman.
The striking painters are to have big
benefit in the near future. Danielson, one
of the hardest workers. was out yesterday
and found lot of professional theatrical
people and managers who are willing to
assist in such an enterprise. He reported
that he had enough talent to give first
class show, and committee of four was
appointed to act with him and make ar
rangements.

WILL STAND FIRM.
Striking Painters Determined That
No Boss Shall Be Specially
Eavnrad

There was an interesting meeting of the
striking painters held yesterday morning
and another in the afternoon. At both
gatherings plans relative to future action
were discussed. Several suggestions were
made, but definite action was deferred
until the master painters show exactly
what they propose to do.
A few members agreed that the strike
should be continued against the bosses
who are unfriendly to the union and that
some of the men be allowed to return to
those who would come out openly for the
union and for the working-card system.
By this the friendly bosses would secure
all the work and the men who received
employment could assist in the support of
the idle strikers.
1t did not take very long to upset this
suggestion. Those who claimed to have
had experience asserted that, while there
are many good, honest bosses in the City,
such a course would never succeed. Ali
men cannot be relied upon, they said, and
cited their experience of a week ago.
Many bosses who got their men back to
work by processing friendship for the
union. and who acceded to all demands,
were among the first to subscribe to the
Master Painters Associations ultimatum
III WHICH buCy Qctl1uCu W IcCORulZc tu6
working-card system.
The proposition to start into the cooper
ative business and bidding for contracts in
the open market was also discussed.
In the afternoon G. l.. Ames, chairman
of the committee of twenty-five on CO.
operation, reported that at a special meet
ing of the committee it was decided to rec
ommend that the union stand firm and
solid for few days longer at least. Good
news for the union had been received. 1t
was in substance that at a meeting of the
wholesale paint-dealers the latter had de-
cided to meet with the master painters and
use their. influence to induce the bosses to
comply with the demands of the painters.
The committee also recommended that
every shop in the City be s'picketed," so
as to induce all men at work to quit and
stand by the union.
Mr.. Bean of the same committee said
that st. Denis. who has the painting con-
tract on the Parrott building, will be
obliged to put twenty painters to work
this morning or give up the contract.
A special com mittee of twenty-five was
appointed to picket the st. Denis jobs,
half to remain at the Parrott building and
half at the shop. This committee was
simply to use moral suasion to keep the
men away from the work.
A communication was received from the
Los Angeles Council of Building Trades
in which that body sent to the striking
painters of this City a resolution indorsing
the strike and expressing the hope that
the strikers will win.

The executive committee Of the Paint

directors of the Master Painters Associa-

representative men of each organization
announced with solemn show of candor
that nothing pertaining to the strike was
discussed, and in fact nothing that would
interest anybody, they could not possibly
divulge what had taken place. 81

NEW BUSINESS AGENT.
Harry M. Saunders Elected Walking
Delegate for the Carpenters
Unions.

Unions.
Harry M. Saunders was elected SAT-
urday as the business agent for the four
Carpenters and Joiners' unions of this
City. Several weeks ago E. R. Johnson,
the walking delegate, resigned this Office
in order to accept position in Alaska, and
the District Council selected G. f. Schadt
to fill the vacancy until the position could
be regularly filled by general election.
A call was made for mass-meeting of
carpenters, which was held last evening.
The unions were we'll represented and the
early voting was spirited. as there were
several delegates in the field, but Mr..
Saunders was elected by large majority.
His term will last until July 1. AT the
expiration of that time there will probably
be change in the present order of things.
At present each union in the Building
Trades Council has its own business agent
or walking delegate.
