SOCIALISTS MAY DAY.
A Street Parade and Demonstra.
tion Will Be Held This
Evening.
Followed by a Big Mass. Meeting in
Metropolitan Temple-Programme
of Exercises.

The socialists all over the civilized world
will to-day (Mayday) hold a grand
demonstration.
This day was selected long time ago by
the socialists in the Old World as an oc-
caslon for the workingman to take a holi-
day and rest. In other words, the opening
OF the spring, the bursting into life of trees
and buds and flowers, is a fit occasion for
the man who labors to throw aside care
and free himself from the letters of toll
Socialists, who really come up from the
ranks of the employed, took this view of
the occasion, and thus May 1 has become
not only the laboring mans day all over
the world, but the socialists day as well.
That it will be observed in this City has
been stated in THE CALL but the principal
features and exercises will take place in
the evening. This matter was plac ed in
the hands of a committee of ARRANGEMENTS.
consisting of H. Warnicke, Theodore
Lynch, John Lutz, Henry Rosenblough
and 81. Salender.
Letters inviting all laborers and unions
to participate in the exercises and parade
were sent recently, and many have an
swered that they will assist in making a
grand event in the early history of social
ism in San Francisco.
At o'clock this evening all of the So
cialist branches ard the labor unions will
assemble at the headquarters at lis Turk
street and form into a procession. The
socialists in the line will be the American
Liberty, French, Jewish, German, italian
and Scandinavian branches of the Social
ist Labor party of this City and the Oak
land branch. There will also be delegates
from San Jose, Los Angeles. San Diego,
Sacramento, Stockton and Ventura.

niied their intention to parade are the

located in Gold Hill in 1864, where he was
active in the organization of the Miners
Union of Lyon and Storey counties.
He was president of the Gold Hill Union
and at one time represented Storey County
in the Legislature.
A man of some inventive genius Mr..
Leermo spent considerable time and
money in that direction, but never real
lied anything from his inventions. They
were considered meritorious, but he lacked
the means to develop his plans.
1t was one of Mr.. Leermo's mbitions to
ameliorate the condition of the real work
ers of the country, and in this direction
he bent his energies to securing an amend
ment 10 the constitution of Nevada in the
interest of organized labor unions. He
was frequently prominent in political
affairs, and it is said that at one time he
was offered the appointment as Lieuten-
ant-Governor of Nevada by the late Gov
ernor c. c. Stevenson.
The funeral services were conducted by
the knights of Pythias, of which order
MI. Leermo was an honored member. At
the grave, in addition to the touching cere-
monies OF the Pythians, there was singing
Dy select choir, and an address was de-
iiVered by Hon. George II. Morrison, who
paid an appropriate tribute to the high
character and honorable career of the de-
ceased. He was buried in Cypress Lawn
Cemetery on April Goth.

| that the Government had lien on this
| property for money advanced it was not
| legal to cripple agencies of the Government
| bv acts which impair the obligation OF a
| contract. He said that any such action
was against the constitution of the Gov
ernment. The Railraod Commission in
| sisted that nothing was involved in the
/ case but the grain rates, and upon that
| theory had attempted to minimize the
| scope OF the suit.
Mr.. Foote contended that the case in
volved the % per cent reduction as well as
| the per cent reduction.
The resolution showed that the Commls-
sioners decided on an absolute 20 pei cent
reduction, and that, too. without any eX-
press qualification or condition.
What the Government insists upon is
TO preserve intact Its rates under the Thur
man act, and whether the reduction
threatened in this case is much or small
it presents a strong case for equitable In
terposition of this court. 1t is no answer
to the principle involved that the loss OF
of a few thousand dollars only will be suf-
fered by the Government. If the State
can reduce this sinking fund TO the extent
of $4,000 then it may and probably will pro-
ceed to extinguish the fund altogether.
Mr.. Hayne-Does no: the act of the
State say Subject to the laws of the
State?"
District Attorney Foote-Yes; but the
whole act must be taken, together with
reference to what was then being done.
There was nothing granted bv the State OF
California to this corporation but the
mere skeleton right to be a corporation,
and here was the natural purpose of Con-
gress endeavoring by this legislation to
make a great National road and to fur
nish the sinews of war by which it should
be built and to give security to the rest of
the people of the United States that they
should have some chance for repayment.
The court-Do you consider in the
course of your argument Judge Haynes
contention that these acts must all be
viewed with reference to the right of Con-
gress to regulate interstate commerce and
the right of the State to regulate interstate
commerce.
Mr.. Foote-I say that is a false quantity.
l say there is nothing in the view which
take that involves the question of inter
state commerce at all.
The court-Then you do consider all the
elements of Judge Haynes contention.
Mr.. Foote-I consider it in that light,
yes; that is the view l take of it.
Then followed a long argument between
the court and the District Attorney over
the question of State rights. At 2:30
o'clock Mr.. Foote finished his argument,
after which court adjourned until Tues
day morning at IL o'clock.

started out with them, but was stopped
by another woman who screamed out
Stop thief!' Both men then took flight

The Rafe Wn..

There Is one aspect OF the rate war
on the Chesapeake Bay that is of great
Importance to every business house of
Baltimore that has any trade with the
South. Under the new rates Baltimore
has a lower differential TO Southern
points than either Philadelphia or New
York or Boston. Never have freights
been as low, and as the war goes on
they will probably be still lower. In
view Of these circumstances. it is n fine
opportunity for Baltimore to jump
quickly into the Southern territory and
get all the business 1t can at these low
rates. The South is in pretty good con-
dition now, in spite of what the politi-
clans say, and 1t is paying its bills bet
ter than was to be expected 1t offers
a fine field for enterprise. and now is the
time to act.
Baltimore's prosperity is bound in
extrlcably with the South. and 1t must
use every means 1t can to increase the
trade. to strengthen the relations, and
to keep up the friendship. Nothing
helps in all this like cheap transporta-
ton. and this rate war Is going to give
us that without n doubt. 1t is one OF
the best opportunities that Baltimore
ever had.-Baltimore American
