AMONG THE UN|ON|STS,
Two Crafts Over Which the
Clouds of Adversely Are
lowering.
Other Organizations Report New Mem
berS and a Better Condition
of Trade.

7. F. Burns presided at the meeting of
the Trades Council last evening, where
several interesting reports upon the condi-
tion of labor in this City were made. In
response to letter of inquiry nearly all of
the labor unions sent communications
stating that their organizations are in favor
of the declaration of principles submitted
by the labor convention, and in favor of
the unions entering into politics as advised
by the convention recently. There is one
body that does not favor the latter move.
The theatrical stage employees sent letter
declining to enter into politics in any man
ner or form.
E. w. Thurman of the Typographical
Union made very gloomy report of the
condition of his craft. He said that since
the introduction of typeselting machines
the number of printe rs thrown out of en-
ployment has been increasing at an alarm
ing rate.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of work in
this City, dozens of idle printers continue
to pour in from all sections of the country
He said that in this City there is but one
of the large daily papers that continues to
employ hand printers. c. M. Shortridge.
proprietor of THE CALL, promised the print
ers not to use typesetting machines for
eighteen months, and to this paper only
could the printers look for relief. AT the
present time there are over three hundred
printers in San Francisco. he said and
among this number not few are in desti-
tute circumstances and with families to
provide for. Something must be done, he
said, to prevent the craft from being
starved out of existence. Delegate Thur
man stated that all of the job printing Of
fees are filled, but even in job printing
offices there is a very dark future. Already
the typesetting machine has found its way
into Job offices where briefs and such things
are set. Where the bosses can save three
quarters of the cost of composition by the
use of machines there will be but little
chance for those who set type by hand.
The delegate of the Boiler-makers'
Union reported that his organization is in
very bad way, there being only four
teen paying members. The bad condition
of the trade is the cause for this state of
affairs.
The delegates of the other unions pre-
sented reports that were pleasing con-
trasts to those preceding. The iron
molders delegate said that the union is
gaining in membership and the trade is
constantly increasing. "At the rate we
are booming along" he said, 1--WE hope to
be back soon to where we were before the
great strike"
Delegate Burman of the wood workers
said that since his union had:affi.iated
with the International body the craft has
been making great strides. All the wood
workers in the City are coming into the
organization and similar reports are COM
ing in from all parts of the United States
Delegate Burns of the organizing COM
mittee spoke of the garment-workers, who
have recently perfected an organization.
Ee said that the body will receive its
charter on Tuesday evening, when it will
select its permanent officers

Evan j. Coleman and Frank Smith En-
tertain Largo Impromtu Audience.
A lively fight took place about o'clock
yesterday afternoon in front OF the Occi-
dental. Hotel between Frank Smith OF that
caravansary and Attorney Evan J. Cole
man, president of the Pacific Transfer
Company. The difficulty occurred over
an old account between Major Hooper OF
the hotel and Mr.. Coleman.
Mr.. Smith and the latter gentleman
happening to meet their conversation
turned from general matters to the SUBJ
ject OF the old account. Before they knew
of 1t they were both hotly disputing the
respective positions of each other as to the
money due. At this juncture Mr.. Smith
is credited with passing the lie TO his op-
ponent. Coleman had cane in his hand
and he brought it down on Smiths head,
inf1icting long. deep wound across the
forehead, from which the blood flowed
fast and plentifully.
1t was then the boniface's turn. He
waded in and did several things to Mr..
Coleman, knocking him down and pre-
pairing to give him more blows. How
ever, mutual friends from the large crowd
which had congreGated rushed in and
separated them. No arrests were made.

William G. Marcy died at an early hou,

FRIDAY EVENING, March 6, 1896.
Editor Cdll-Will you kindly publish this cor
rection of a ridiculously untrue account in to-
days Post OF an encounter between Mr.. Smith,
clerk at the Occidental Hotel, and myself, in
which the name of James V. Coleman was con-
founded with my own. The facts, briefly
stated, are as follows:
met Mr.. Smith by accident on Montgomery
street, near the Occidental Hotel. In the
course OF friendly conversation in regard to
certain business matters which had caused
some friction between the manager of the Occi-
dental Hotel and the United Carriage Company
(of which am presidenn Mr.. Smith offensiveiy
remarked that he did not believe the statement
had last made.
asked him If he meant to say that what 1
had stated was not true He replied that he
did. Thefeupon l struck him in the face with
a small cane had in my hand. In the brief
struggle which followed he scratched me
slightly on the face and / inflicted several
severe blows with my cane on his head. Some
person, TO me unknown, in the endeavor to
draw Inc away, caught me about the waist,
pulling me down to the sidewalk. The fall
received through the kindly meant interfer-
ence of this gentleman was the only incon-
venience l suffered. The whole affair was over
in few moments. Respectfully,
EVAN J. COLEMAN.

were not alone then in the suspension

1t IL unluCstiOnnbly True that the act

well aS GROSS misrepresentation. The
depreciation In silver was the result Of

first and principal cause was tho phe-
nOmCnal Increase In the production of
silver In the United States and else
where. While It Is true that the act Of
1873 suspended the coinage of the tl2is
silver dollar. II IL also true that the
provisions Of that act left the mlnts
omen for the; coinage OF the silver dollar
of 400 grains, which was legal tender
for all ordinary trade purposes. This
fact summarlly disposes Of the charge
of decentralization.
1t must not be forgotten that at that
time We were on a paper basis, and
h n consequently the price or silver
could not have been materially affected
by the act OF 1879. Then It must be r..
mcmSCred that from 1879 to 1873 our
