ROWING OVER A BUREAU,
Sacramento's Federated Trades
IndorSes the Labor Com,
missioner.
1t Gives a Severe Slap at the San
Francisco Trades Councils
President.

Several weeks ago the San Francisco
Labor Council passed resolution offered
by T.. f. Burns, one of It's officers, con-
demning Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitz-
gerald and the Free Labor Bureau.
The complaint was that there were two
entrances to the bureau, one for those
seeking employment, which is from Till.
man place, while the employers enter the
front door at 325 Suffer street. This dis
tinction Mr.. Burns thinks is undemocratic
and an infringement upon the equal rights
principle that all are supposed to enjoy.
The council Endorsed his views of the
situation.
Not so with the laboring men of Sacra-
mento, for the central labor body of that
city has taken the San Francisco central
labor body severely to task, as shown by
the annexed correspondence upon the sub
ject:

conduct of the Free Employment Bureau at
325 Suffer street, San Francisco; and whereas

Council OF Sacramento, it appears that EN-.
ployes and employers are treated with equal
courtesy and consideration; and whereas, the
Labor Commissioner is doing noble work In
the interest of all the people; therefore be il
RESOLVED, That the above condemnatory
resolutions are entirely uncalled tor and un.
just
Reso ved, That IL is the sense of this council
that its ster council in San Francisco should
thoroughly investigate the Free Employment
Bureau and coolly deliberate on the methods
pursued by the Labor Commissioner before
committing itself to condemnatory resolu-
tions.
Resolved, That our sister council would be
doing itself and the laboring masses generaliv
q service by aiding and assisting the Labor
Commissioner instead of fetarding the good
work he is accomplishing on behalf of hu-
mainly.

WANTS THE MONEY.
Frank Bo1Iinger Sues to Recover $4,000
on a Relief Fund Certificate.

on Relief Fund Certificate.
Frank Bollinger has sued the Supreme
Council of the Order of Chosen Friends,
Jeanette Alfredetta Brown and Edith
Ellen Brown for $1,000, alleged to be due
on relief fund certificate payable at the
death of Mourning E. Bollinger, the de-
ceased wife of plaintiff.
1t seems that BolIinger and his wife
each had q certificate issued in favo4cf
the other on condition that Bollinger
should pay the dues and assessments on
both. Shortly before Mrs. Bollinger's
death she substituted Jeanette and Edith
Brown as beleiciaries in place of her
husband. 1t was claimed that this was in
violation of their agreement and without
the knowledge and consent of the plain
tiff. Therefore suit has been brought to
compel payment OF the $4,000 to the hus-
band.

(Brookk,n, ~ Y, Eagle.
Yes, that is so; but the
slight coloring in finer tea
doesn't do much harm.
Perhaps, if your colored
tea suits you, you had bet
