ROSA J,s SIDEWALK.
econd Attempt to Get Damages Also

Second Attempt to Get Damages Also
Fails.
Rosa ]. Gribble was again defeated in her
attempt to recover damages for the pulling
up of her sidewalk. An order had been passed
by the council for the putting down of a
stone sidewalk on the street on which the
property is situated, but instead of stone
sidewalk, the plaintiff put down a wooden
one. This was pulled up by the contractor
and stone laid, and then an action for dam
ages was commenced against the contractor.
This was dismissed, but soon another action
was commenced to recover from the city
and Assistant Engineer Wilson. This action
was tried in Judge Brills court yesterday, and
resulted in verdict for the defendant by
direction of the court.

Executive Agent Fullerton, of the state
game and fish commission, returned yesterday
from a trip down the Mississippi as far as
Winona.
He says that the high water is seriously in
conveniencing tho fishermen who have been
going after spawn, and the fish hatchery crew,
who have been working off Pigs Eye bar,
have been forced 60 withdraw by the rising
torrent. Another Vehement that makes the
river fishing at this time undesirable is that,
under guise of seeking spawn, irresponsible
parties go out, catch the fish, and place
them on the market. The Booth Packing
company yesterday reported that the law was
being violated, and search will be made for
the law breakers.

Jabez Swan Tells Why He Indorses

house-painters eight hours day l did SO, and
voluntarily reduced the time of the sign
painters to eight hours also. l do not belong
to the Master Painters Association. In that
BODY there are some of the best and most hon
whom we speak of as ''cOyote" contractors
We can't do business with these fellows in the
field. To show what coyote contractor is let
me Illustrate: will bid for contract for say
$500. / calculate upon the cost OF material,
wages of the men and the time. do not get
the job and find hat some one else has secured
the contract for $4OO. / watch the work and
find that my successful rival will make some
thing on the job. How? He, employs. gang
of boys and poor workmen who work for very
small wages, and he uses "dope" or the
poorest of materials. will not belong to an
organization that has such men on its mem
bership roll.
Right in such a case is where the unions
working-card system will be of advantage to
the honest master painter. The unions should
protect US against such "coyote" contractors
by carpenters, plumbers, lathers and other
union. men refusing to work on job where
labor unions. and especially the card system
If the card system is honestly carried out by
the union journeymen it will be as great pro-
lection to us as to the men themselves. This
is why / for one hope the strikers will win.
My men are all at work to-dey, although
urged them not to come back until the strike
was settled, at least until it was all right for
them to do so.

RATIFIED THE CARD.
Carpenters Union 22 Will Stand
by Other Building Trades After
April I.

A special meeting of Carpenters Union
No. % was held in Odd Fellows Hall la st
night for the purpose of taking action on
the working card, as requested by the
Building Trades Council.
The largest fraternal meeting hall in the
building was occupied and scarcely a seat
was vacant. A representative proportion
of the large union was present. 1t was
estimated that of the 782 members fully
500 participated in the proceedings.
The vote was decisive, for it was unani-
nous in support of the card.
After adjournment P. II. Mccarthy
president OF the union, said: "We have
voted to put the Building Trades Council
card into effect April l."
"What will be the possible effect"
"The effect will be just as it has been
with this. union. The card has been in
operation with us for months, and our
members would not work on contract
with a non-union carpenter Now, how
ever, we have simply ratified the card with
the building trades, and on and after April
l members of Carpenters Union % will
refuse to work with a non-union workman
on any building. This means that if there
should be non-union piasterer, or, In
fact, any other non-union man in the
building trades, on job we will not work
with him ~

taken the places of striking painters in
several instances. A letter was received
by the union from the Salvation Army of
ficials denying the truth of the story. Ii
any OF the soldiers were or are at work it
was not with the knowledge or consent of
the organization. Captain McFee said:
There is no truth in the story pub
llshed to-day that the army is supplying
men TO take the places left vacant by the
strikers. The truth of the matter is that
the army is doing what it can to aid the
men in their struggle for their rights"
Notwithstanding the denial, there are a
number of striking painters who assert
that the Salvation soldiers are and have
been at work on struck" jobs. They say
that they have seen the soldiers actually
at work painting. The union painters say
that they are unable to prove that any
contracts were entered into between the
Salvation Army officers and the contrac-
tors. The soldiers may be at work on
their own account for all the union men
know.
There are several religious organizations
in this City whose members wear caps and
badges. and it is possible that the caps
and badges seen on the workers in ques-
ton were those of some other religious
body.

THE UNIONS GUARANTY.
No More Strikes VIII Be Ordered
In the Friendly Bosses
Shops.

One session of the Painters Union was
held yesterday. At 10 o'clock the strikers
assembled at LIS Turk street to discuss the
situation and obtain further information
as 70 what the conditions are under which
they may or must not work, according
to the decision of the union last Tuesday.
Those who failed to grasp the situation
were again informed that they could re-
turn to work for those bosses who conduct
union shops, pay So day for eignt hours
work and hire only union men.
Many were of the opinion that the time
of-peace rule applies to those shops. That
is. that if non-union man is found work
ing on Job weeks notice is neces-
sary before the job can be struck. Such is
not the case These are strike times, and
the presence of nOn-unOn workman on
a lob or in a shop is sufficient evidence
that the boss does not propose to comply
with the unions demands, and it there
fore behooves the union men to quit or be
fined or blacklisted by the union.
A mum Der of men stated that some of
the bosses desire some guarantee that if
they take the union men back to work
their experience of week ago will not be
repeated and the men again ordered out
on strike.
1t was decided that any friendly boss
whose confidence had been shaken will
receive a written guarantee under the seal
of the union that so long as he keeps a
union shop he will be exempt from an
other walkout or strike so far as the
Painters and Decorators Union is con-
Cerned.

INTERRUPT NAVIGATION,
Testimony Taken in the Mat
ter of the Oakland
Bridges.
Mayor Davie and Others State the
Case-Will Be Submitted to the
Secretary of War.

There was a meeting in the Office of
Colonel Suter, United States Engineers.
yesterday morning, to hear the evidence
in the case of the Webster and Alice street
bridges in Oakland, against which COM
plants have been filed as to their inter-
fering with navigation. The bridges ex-
tend from Oakland to Alameda over the
canal or inlet, through which there is
great deal OF traffic. The bridges have
been complained Oh as being obstructions
to navigation; that the draw opening is
too narrow and that the draws are not
operated properly in the interest of navi-
cation.
Quite large gathering of interested
people was present, among the people
there being Assistant General Manager
Curtis of the Southern Pacific, Mayor
Dayie of Oakland. Prosecuting Attorney
Shook of Oakland, members of the Board
of Supervisors of Alameda. as well as a
number of private citizens, merchants and
ship-owners.
In the absence of Colonel Suter Lieu
tenant Kuhn conducted the proceedings.
District Attorney Shook, Mayor Davie,
Captain Monneis, Captain McNeill, Cap
tain Meyrs, tugboat men, and MIR. Glas-
cock of Oakland made statements in line
with the protest.
Mr.. Curtis, for the Southern Pacific Com
pany, announced that the company pro-
posed to replace with new bridges those
that are complained of. He denied, how
ever, that the draw opening was too small
for the purpose.
An adjournment was taken until next
Tuesday at IL o'clock, when further testi-
mony will be taken.
The whole matter, when completed, will
be laid before the Secretary of War for his
decision as TO the necessities of the case.

MASTER PAINTERS' VIEWS.
The Members Say the Backbone Of
the Strike Has Been Broken
by Union Men.

Dy OntCn M6ns
President Black of the Master Painters
Association expressed himself as being
well pleased with the action of the Paint
ers' Union on Tuesday. He said:
don't like this strike business and the
sooner it is over the better. The backbone of
the strike is broken. can't see it in any other
light. When the men became so res tless
that the leaders could not hold them together
any longer there was only one thing to do and
that was to let the men go back to work. That
is Eot backdown on the part of the union.
Those who are not at work might as well be on
a strike as not. There is only little business
in the painting trade at present and I do not
believe that over rs or at the outside $50 of
those who are willing to return will be able 10
secuIe work. Even before the decision of the
union men on Tuesday the master painters of
this City had all or about all the men they
could use.
Mr.. Upham. also prominent member
of the association, concurred with the
president. He said he has all the time he
wants to do his work, and added that
while he could put fifty men to work he
had decided not to do so. He proposes, he
said, to string the work along and let his
present force finish the jobs one after an
other as they are able.
