parent Unwarranted Discharge
of Men.

There is a fight on between the United
Bakers Union and the Master Bakers
Protective Association, better known To-
cally as the "Boss" Bakers. At present
the struggle is in a kind of embryo state,
but Otto 'Grassman, secretary of the first
named organization, is responsible for the
statement that before the week is half
ended war, in the shape of boycott, will
be declared.
The trouble between the men who mold
flour and water and the other essential in
gradients into rolls, doughnuts. lady-tn-
gers and delicate pastry tidbits, and the
"bosses" arises from two causes. The first
is found in the sanitary condition of the
bakeshops, and the second in the dis
charge within the last week of several
union men.
Some weeks ago Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald with the assistance of three or
four deputies made tour of all the big
bakeries in the City. Many of the places
were in horribly filthy condition from a
sanitary point of view. The floors were
damp, the air foul-smelling, and the uten-
sils employed in mixing the bread and
cakes presented anything but attractive
appearances.
As result of this unexpected invasion,
under the guidance of Mr.. Fitzgerald, a
complaint, signed by one Rudolph, was
filed with the Board of Health, calling at
ten ton 10 the unhealthy condition of the
bakeries. So far as known, however, the
health officers have not as yet taken any
steps toward remedying the alleged evils
and now the men who work for the bosses
will endeavor to see what they can do in
the premises.
The master bakers, of course, heard of
all these things, and they at once set to
work to learn if possible who it was that
had been telling things which they would
like very much to remain unknown. As a
partial result of this investigation three or
four union bakers were relieved of their
situations, among them being a man
named Rudolph. No reason was assigned
for the summary discharge of the men,
but the men themselves claim that it is
due to belief on the part of the bosses
that they caused the exposures to be made
by Fitzgerald.
At the headquarters of the Bakers
Union, on Turk street, everything is ap-
parently very quiet, but for all that great
deal of work Is being done.
"The Bakers Union is not sufficiently
well organized to order strike" said Sec
retary Grassman last night, "but there is
weapon within our grasp almost as
strong, and that is boycott. We have
committee of four out at work now, and
until they make their final report to-mor-
row l do not care to discuss the situation
in all its phases.
81 will say, however, that If the people
only knew how the bread and cake which
they eat every day is prepared they would
make these things at home. OF course
do not mean to say that all the boss estab-
lishments are in a filthy condition, be-
cause there are some which could not be

improved on. But there are bakeries, and
many of them, whose product would not
eat. The public is much more interested
in this fight for purer food than we are
We, of course, look to them to lend their
moral support in the boycott which it is
our purpose to declare against certain
bosses. This is the only way we can bring
them to time.
"We have another grievance, but tn at is
of more recent origin. Several of our men
have been discharged unjustly-merely
because the bosses entertained a sus-
picion that they were responsible for the
attention of the Board of Health being di-
rected toward their establishments. Here
is a sample of the justice dealt out to us:
Last week one of the bosses, whose name
l will not reveal at present, discharged a
man named Rudolph. The boss thought
Rudolph was the man who signed the
complaint sent to the Board OF Health,
and without making any inquiry let him
go. predict that when the fight is fin
ally on, there will be merry and costly
battle for some Of the Bosses"
The master bakers are inclined to treat
lightly the threatened boycott. They say
the Bakers Union is not strong enough to
do them any real harm.

ONE HAMMER WAS LIGHT
Edgren's Throw Made With a
Missile Seven Ounces
Under Weight.
Best Tosses in the Field.Day Were
With Berkeley'S Inaccurate
Hammer.

Soon after the hammer-throw, the last
and decisive event in the intercollegiate
field day, was ended Saturday evening,
several University of California men de-
clared that the 16-pound hammer used by
Stanford in the preliminary throws had
been mysterio usly carried away by some
of the rapidly diminishing crowd before
the judges had officially tested its weight,
and grave insinuations were raised as to
the probable light weight of the missile.
1t was openly claimed that the referee
should award the contest to California on
that account. But Referee Elliott had
already left the grounds with the crowd.
The University of California hammer,
with which Robert Edgren made his great
est throw, that of 136 feet inches, was
then weighed on three different scales
near the entrance to the park, and much
to the chagrin of the Berkeley men was
found light. In order to ascertain the
exact weights of the California hammer
and Edgren's own hammer, with which
he made the first three throws, the best
being 134 feet TX inches, Professor Magee,
the gymnasium instructor of Berkeley. re-
quested witnesses to accompany him to a
pair of authentic scales in a well-known
grocery store downtown. There the Cali
fornia hammer was carefully weighed and
found to be seven ounces light, while Ed
gren's hammer was four ounces in excess
of sixteen pounds.
The witnesses were Professor Magee,
Carroll, the professional hammer-throWer; !;
Captain Merwin of the University, and A !.
B. Rice of The CALL.
The Stanford hammer was subsequently,
found as expected with the Stanford ap-
paraSus, gathered up and carted off after
the games, 1t was then weighed in the
presence of Referee Elliott and G. w.
Hetherington, the gymnasium instructor
of Stanford University, and just balanced
at sixteen pounds.
So the weights of the hammers have
been determined and the suspicion of base
trickery among amateur athletes removed.
But Edgren's greatest throw, that of 1856
feet inches, does not stand as record.
All the last and best throws OF each con-
testant, however, were made with the light
California hammer, so that while none of
the performances are authentic the condi-
tions were equal all round for the throw.

The unfavorable weather that prevailed last
week had rather depressing effect on the
real estate market and very little business
was transacted in any quarter. Business thus
far this spring has been fair. but not as large
as many anticipated. 1t is doubtful if1there
VIII ever be another opportunity to buy San
francisco real estate at such low prices as it
can be had for to-day. Yet in spite of this fact
sales are slow, and until there is general
activity felt in all lines of business it is not
likely that there will be any yery marked re-
vival in the real estate market.

Important Business at this fine.
Before getting down to business
Wednesday evening the immigration
convention INDUCED in pleasant for
mality which always forms more Or
less interesting part of the proceedings.
While the delegates were gathering in
the convention hall the Juvenile band
entertained the audience with several
selections. Chairman Keith introduced
Judge Haney of this city who extended
to the delegates assembled welcome
most cordial in its character. The
speaker made a very conservative
review of some of the features, re-
sources and advantages of our grand
young state, and referred to the intel
lectual progress of the citizens Of South
Dakota. This state. as written about
by the eastern press, was done a great
injustice in that every small crop was
made famine, every ordinary snow
fall blizzard, of every person coming
to the state for divorce purposes our
laws are accused of being too lax,
critized by those whose ignorance OF
these laws gave them no such right.
The judges address was highly appre,
ciated by the delegates. Owing to the
absence of Hon. J. M. Lawson of Aber.
deem Capt. J. H. Hauser was called
upon to respond on behalf of the dele.
gates. His remarks covered matters
of general interest to the state.
Chairman Tomlinson of the program
committee then made report of plan
of action to be pursued by the assoc.
iation as follows:
/. That a permanent statewide or
ganization shall be formed to be known
as the South Dakota Immigration AS
sociation.
,. That the work of this association
shall be placed in charge OF an execu.
tive committee of eight to be chosen
one from each judicial circuit Of the
state by the delegates representing
that circuit.
3. That from the members of thi:
executive committee the conver tior
shall elect president, a secretary ant
treasurer, who shall discharge the
duties usual to such offices.

THE RIOT.

For the first time of which there
is any record a large number of
Portuguese citizens have acted pub
licly in a manner unworthy the fair
name Of the colony and to be much
regretted by its best members and
true friends. On Sunday evening
they fought the police and resisted
the law of the land. 1t must not
be allowed to occur again. The out
break was in strange contrast to the
orderly demonstration made ten
days ago. On that occasion, though
thoroughly imbued with the idea of
creating an impression, of convey
ing thoughts of strength and num-
bers, the Portuguese were decorous
as a convention of Quakers. On
Sunday night, in the very presence
of the Chief Executive of the coun-
try, some of these same men en-
gagged in rioting. Perhaps there
was not little provocation, but
they have hurt themselves and
should have known better. If the
sentiments given action at the
disturbance are to grow there is
local trouble ahead. For it is
now we'll settled here that law and
order are to be upheld at any
cost and that police authority must
be respected at all times and
under all circumstances. The Re-
public, the people generally, the
papers, have had better opinion
of the Punchbowl town residents.
1t is pity anything should occur
to force a modification of the good
opinion. 1t is pity that so many
Portuguese names should at once
appear upon the Station House
register, where they are usually
scare enough. While there have
been many times rows in that quar-
ter of the city, never before has
there been anything like this. Per
haps it would be well for the Legis
