THE OAKLAND UNION.
It's Representatives We're Advised
Not to Go on Strike
hmm ediately,

The committee of twenty-five held a
meeting last evening and received delega-
ton from the Oakland Painters and
Decorators Union No. 2, which is branch
of the San Francisco union. In Oakland
there are rs union painters, and about 300
in all. The delegates from Oakland
wanted instructions as to whether or not
it would be advisable to make demand
for So rate of wages for eight hours and
recognition of the card system.
A demand of this kind would mean
strike. 1t was explained that there were
many non-union men waiting the decision
of the union as to whether or not they
would join, not wishing to join and be i'm
mediately ordered out on a strike. Where
the Oakland union is under the jurisdiction
of the San Francisco body the latter's de-
cision is very essential to the matter.
Another item was that three Oakland
union men are under the ban for working
in San Francisco after having been called
out by the parent body. These are anxious
to have a strike declared in order to prevent
their being expelled from the Oakland
union.
The committee recommended that as
large number of Oakland men were OBJ
tanning So a day, the union do not go
out on strike until it controls the entire
craft, and then a demand will serve the
purpose of a strike; also that the three
men be fined for violating the union
rules.
The Oakland men also reported that as
some of the San Francisco master painters
are sublettlng their out-of-town contracts
at Menlo Park and San Rafael to Oakland
bosses, resolution was passed by the
union that no Oakland painter will be per-
mitted to go out of Alameda County to
work on such jobs.
They further stated that st. Denis, who
has the Parrot building contract, is offer
ing Oakland painters $4 a day to finish the
Job, but without success. Another report
was that n. z. Kuss, the San Francisco
painter, is hard at work across the bay en-
deayoring to induce the boss painters of
Oakland and Alameda to join the Master
Painters' AssociatiOn

Justice ask them to assist us in an unjust fight

The motion to let the strikers go back to
work for the friendly bosses was carried by
an overwhelming vote. 1t was also de-
cided to assess every man working fifty
cents for each day he works. This will
make revenue of about $500 day with
which to continue the strike against the
master painters and to provide for the
strikers who became Impoverished by
reason of the strike.

THE COOKS AND WATERS.
They Met Last Night and Effected
Permanent Organ
iZatlOn,

There was large meeting last night at
1859 Mission street in answer to a call look
ing to the permanent organization of a
cooks and walters union.
The meeting was called to order by T.
Beresford. Mr.. Carver of the Furniture
makers offered suggestion that the
union should be organized on political
lines from the outset.
and favored sociaIistic ideas. He was fol-
lowed by w. Macarthur of the Sailors
Union, one of the organizers of the San
Francisco Labor Council. He entered
into lengthy explanation of the organiza-
ton of the Sailors Union, which he de-
clared is now one of the strongest labor
organizations in the United States, and he
said it was such because it had steered
clear of politics, which he declared is the
rock on which all organizations are
wrecked.
One in the audience asked why the
sailors had not helped to elect sailor to
represent them instead of electing pro-
fessional man like Mcguire, and Mr.. Mac
arthur replied that while the sailors are a
power they could not elect one of their
number to any office. I'VE have first
instance, who l doubt not would make as
good President as many"
YES" said voice, "he'd do better than
Cleveland without much trouble
There was an executive session which
lasted late into the night, and after pro-
longed discussion it was decided that
there should be no politics in the organi.
Zation.
1t was decided to call the organization
.'The Fraternity of Cooks and Walters"
and a constitution was adopted. The
question of socialism in the fraternity
was laid over until the next meeting when
officers will be elected.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-25

by one of the union painters last
night. He said he had thoroughly investi-
gated the matter and found the situation
to be as stated.
He said that such a job is being COM
pleted on Cole street, near the Odd Eel
lows Cemetery. This work was su6let
from Hoefer, the master painter, and Sal
walton Army soldiers are now finishing q
''struck" job.
Upon investigating further he was in
formed that the captain of the Salvation
relief committee, on Sacramento street,
offered to furnish any number of good
workmen to take the strikers places at
81 SO day. He pays the workmen 81 a
day and turns the remainder, 81 so, into
the Salvation relief fund. From what can
be learned there are number of bosses
who propose to either hire these soldiers
for the hours of work cut no figure) or
sublet TO the Salvation Army officers.

A BICYCLE THIEF.

III. M. Hafford, q Sailor, Charged With
Felony Embezzlement.
H. M. Hafford, a sailor, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Detectives Bee and
Harper and had four charges of felony en-
bezzlement booked against him at the
City Prison.
Hafford was short of cash and became
possessed of the idea that it would be
good way to raise money to hire bicycle
and pawn it. He visited four different
firms and hired bicycle from each, which
were pawned for SIS apiece.
Two of the dealers were Backus & Co.
and T. H. B. Varney, and they complained
to the police. Bee and Harper were de-
tailed on the case and soon obtained de-
scription of the man who pawned the
"bikes,' which was followed by his arrest.
The four bicycles were recovered.
Hafford's s statement that he was sailor
was simply blind. He was at one time a
letter-carrier and later manager of cy-
clery at the end of McAllister street.

of the order should be reversed, and di-
rects the court below to grant the defend
ants motion.
Justice Mcfarland filed dissenting
opinion in which he criticized the ruling
OF the majority of the bench. III the course
of his comments he said:
All that is necessary to be determined by
this case is that citizen and resident OF Cali
fornia cannot escape the performance OF his
duties and battle our courts in their attempts
to enforce the rights of others against him by
sudden fight and temporary absence expressly
intended for that purpose. Every rule OF law
and every sentiment of justice is an obstruc-
tion to the success of SUCH strategy.
Justice Van Fleet and Chief Justice
Beatty concurred In McFarland's opinion.
The prevailing opinion was written by JUS
tice Temple, Justices Harrison, Garoutte
and Henshaw concurring.
