A WESTERN VIEW.
The East must Not Expect to Enforce the

Ene East must Not Expect to Enforce tAa
GOLD Standard Without Opposition.
IN explaining recent interview
with an eastern gold standard advo-
cate Judge Bell, of Colorado, said;
Il pointed out to him that bv de-
stroying silver they destroyed the

best customers, by enabling the silver

the entire talk was for the purpose Of
convencing the eastern man that not
wlthstanding all of their efforts to de-
stroy the west, the west was better off
in proportion to-day than the east,
which is truth, and the only thing
that will ever give us silver will be to
convince the east that by DESTROYING

The Denver News adds by way of |
comment: "The statement of the ac-

While the state has suffered severely
from the destruction of silver, it will
suffer less in the future because the

Intrinsic Value.

Extract from a late speech Of Sena.
tor Vest: II remember few years
ago, in 1890, that l had the honor TO in
troduce a bill for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver 1t passed
the senate, and silver, which was then
worth 90 cents an ounce, went up to
VI. 13 an ounce, an advance of 20 cents.
Did that add to it's intrinsic valuep 1t
was the same silver. What caused it
to go up 23 cents in the market in ten
days? 1t was the same silver, but IL
had stamped upon it the sovereignty
OF the people Of the United States,
and II the house OF representa-
tives had indorsed the action of
the senate, If we had passed that bill
silver would have been at a parity
with gold the very minute the execu-
tive signature had been put to the
bill"

IDLE SILVER.
The Gold Ring Still Ciamoring for Its
"Pound of Flesh"

The Gold Ring Still Ciamoring for Its
"Pound of Flesh.'
1t is alleged now by Secretary Car
Isle and his school of economists that
there is over $500, 600. 900 in notes to be
kept at par with the gold reserve. Not
content with the bonds that it would
require to redeem ''the greenbacks,
they are already demanding more to
redeem those issued under the Sherman
law OF course that is quite unneces-
sary, as they could be redeemed and
should be in silver, but that would not
satisfy the gold ring, so the silver is
allowed to lie idle in the vaults in the
treasury, and the notes are treated as
though they were gold instead of
silver certificates The object of the
ring in forcing this policy on the Sec
retary of the treasury is clear. 1t adds
to his embarrassment and obliges him
to issue more bonds 1t is bonds they
want, and bonds they will have if they
can squeeze them out of the admins
tration. The silver meantime is to be
entirely ignored and not to be used
even at the rate of so cents on the
dollar.-Los Angeles Express.

1T WAS SATISFACTORY.
The Painters Union Has Accepted
the Proposition Made by ST.
Denis g. CO.

The Painters Union assembled early
last evening in the Temple to hear the re-
port of the conference of the committees
with st. Denis & Co. The interest was in
tense. Messrs. Saunders and Mccarthy,
representing the building trades, were
present. They presented report of what
had taken place at the meeting with Mr..
st. Denis and Mr.. Macauley and the propo-
sition presented by the latter, which APP
pears elsewhere in this article
The representatives of the council recon-
mended that the proposition be accepted
by the union.
Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Shields, who repre-
sented the Painters Union, stated that
the proposition was the best that could be
obtained and there was no use quibbling
about the initiation fee, even if il became
necessary to alter the previous acts OF the
union upon that point. A few wanted
to hold out for the $40 initiation fee,
but their attention was called to the
fact that st. Denis & Co. had acceded to the
principal demands.
Upon: vote being taken upon the adop-
ton of the Building Trades Council rep
resentatives it was decided to accept st.
Denis & Co.'s proposition. Only few
voted in opposition. The decision was re-
ceived with cheers.
The painters believe that the other mas
ter painters who have held out against the
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-01

that it was only in behalf of the eighteen
old shophands that he and Mr.. Macauley
spoke. The other forty or fifty non-union
men at work for them on the Parrott build
ing may look out for themselves.
Mr. Shields, for the Painters Union,
said that he feared that the union would
be 10th to concede this point, particularly
as number of applicants have paid $40
initiation fees since the order went into
effect. Besides, any concession made to
St. Denis & Co. would have to be made to
any other firm of painters in the City,
We'll, I'll tell you what we will do, !"
said Macauley. "The firm will pay an
initiation fee of 81 so for each of the eight
cen men we want to retain. We will
see that they pay 81 so each, which will
make the initiation fee S4. 1t seems
to me that your union should meet us part
way. We have granted every request you
ask involving the principles of unionism
and you ought to be able to afford us a
little relief in the matter of fee where it is
nothing out of your pockets and it is a
great deal out of ours"
Each committee promised to report the
matter to its respective body and give the
firm an answer as speedily as possible.

Special Inspectors Grassmann and Post

the condition of the bakeries of this City,
were out on tour last night.
I'VE visited six bakeries tonight" said
Inspector Grassmann, "and ten the night
before, making sixteen to date. In all but
one instance we found them in bad con-
dition, in fact dirty. In one place tonight

them 81 a week. Tie men sleep in the

night to night until our work is done, and
that will take about three weeks Every
week we shall make a report to the Labor
Com missioner, and when our work is
ended we shall make full report giving
all the details OF our wotk."
The deputies are preparing a report
which will be turned in at the headauar-
ters of the commission on Saturday.
Those who persist in denying admis-
sion to the deputies will be arrested" said
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday.
What they want is time to clean up be-
fore the deputies get into their dens. To-
night the places which were closed to them
will be visited again, and in all probability
the deputies will find everything in good
order. A strict record, however, is being
kept, and the bakeshops whose proprietors
now seem to fear visit will be closely

LATHERS TO STRIKE.
The Plasterers VIII Give Them the
Wages Demanded and All VIII
Be Harmonious

OAKLAND, CAL, March 31.-President
Louis Hemphill of the Lathers' Union and
Secretary Charles Van Haltren have issued
orders for a general strike of the fathers in
Oakland, to take place tomorrow morning.
The Lathers' Union has been unable to
sustain prices owing to its unemployed
members taking jobs under union prices.
They now demand 81 per 1000, which will
be readily granted by the plasterers who
think it only just demand. However,
they would like to see the men stay with
the prices they set. They are only getting
rs cents and 81 now by their own acts.
A. c. McTavish, one Of the most promi-
nent plasterers of.the city, said tonight: ::
"The fathers will go on one of their regu-
lar strikes tomorrow, but it will not
amount to much. The plasterers will
give them the wages demanded and work
will 60 on just as usual"

THE WORKING CARD.
1t VIII Be Enforced To-Day and
Several Mixed Jobs Will Prob
ably Be Struck.

The building trades working-card sys-
tenn goes into effect this morning. A gen.
eral strike is almost impossible, but the
union workmen may be called off several
jobs where non-union men are known to
be at work. All of the contractors in the
City and nearly every union man under
stands the meaning of the card. Every
union man must be provided with a card
furnished by the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, and he must enforce the rate of wages
demanded by his organization and not
work more than eight hours.
The council recently appointed two
business agents or walking delegates, who
will see that the provisions of the card are
enforced. The agents are r. T. McIvor of
the Painters Union and II. NJ. Saunders
of the Carpenters Unions.
There are several mixed jobs in this
City which the delegates will visit the
first thing in the morning. One is on
Market and First streets, where there is
gang of non-union lathers. A similar
job on Post and Larkin streets will be WIS.,
tied. These places were "struck" when
the lathers' strike was begun three weeks
ago. Unless the bosses recognize the card
all the union men will be called out at
once.
II is believed that all of the other
mixed jobs will be Strengthened out
without trouble either by the discharge of
the non-unlon workmen or the latter

five notes, as they formed the basis of the

i've notes, as they formed the basis OF the
suit.
Then Foote wanted to know if it was not
fact that there was regular conspiracy
between Landon and Blank, the president
of the oil company, to lob the Tallant
bank.
The witness said there was not.
Foote wanted to know if Landon had
not quarreled with Blank because the
latter had succeeded in robbing the bank
of more than he (Landon) had.
Landon, probably Inadvertently, ad-
mitted that they had quarreled on that
account-causing quite little sensation
in the courtroom.
The proceedings of the day were inter-
rupted by an almost constant crossfire be-
tween the attorneys. M Monteth, for in
stance, protested against the prOlongatlon
of the cross-eXamination.
Time was made for slaves" said Foote,
'sput do not wonder that you are weary,
my friend"
The witness declared that Foote did not
understand business methods.
Don't you know that | have been en-
gagged in the practice of criminal law for
the last twenty-five years?" said Foote.
Yes"
"Then you must see that understand
your business"
Again Monteith said something in an
undertone to Foote and Foote in any
thing but an undertone declared:
'Mr. Monteith, you must treat me with
ordinary courtesy or Tll make YOU"
At this the court interrupted, saying,
"If both of you don't contine yourselves
to the trial of your case I'll make YOU"
The plaintiffs case was not in at the
time the court adjourned. 1t will be re-
sumed this morning.

Painters Agree to a Proposition
Recommended by a Com
mittee.
THE WORK OF THE COUNCIL
Building Trades Working.Card to Be
Enforced To-Day-A General
Strike Not Possible.

The painters strike is ending in vic
tory for the men,:
This was accomplished through the inter
vention of the Building Trades Council,
whose grievance committee, acting in the
capacity of arbitrators, brought together
the Painters Union and one of the largest
employing paint firms, and arranged a
settlement of their differences.
When the striking painters had carried
their fight as far as they could they trans
ferred the burden to the shoulders of the
council with which it is affiliated. Mr..
Saunders and Mr.. Mccartney of the
grievance committee set to work to bring
about peace between the warning ele-
ments if possible.
They decided that to deal with the
Master Painters Association as q body
would be fruitless, so they went to ST. Denis
& Co., one of the largest firms Ill the en-
ploying business, and several conferences
were held with Mr.. st. Denis and his part
ner. Mr.. Macauley, who, TO the surprise OF
the committeeman, were not so difficult to
deal with as was supposed. At the last
meeting, held yesterday afternoon, st.
Denis d Co. made proposition which was
Endorsed by the arbitrating committee and
later accepted by the union.
This unionizes one OF the largest shops
in the City, and raises cloud from the
big Parrott building where several hun
dred union men will be at work within
twenty-four hours.
From reliable sources it is learned that
other big contracting paint firms will be
willing to compromise their troubles on
the same terms.
This incident in the strike, which was
the largest since the molders strike,
bears out the prediction made by THE CALI
months ago, that the Building Trades
Council would act as an arbitrator in al
labor troubles, and that its mission was
not to create trouble and instigate strikes,
walkouts and boycotts.
