apprentices are at work.
In speaking of the superintendent ulti
matum, he said that while he had no wish
to clash with the union, still if the super
lntendent directed that the work be re-
sumed he would be obliged to resume
operations with the best men he could
secure. He says that there are plenty of
men on the market who will be only too
glad to work in the places left by those
who walked out. As soon as he receives
the order from the Superintendent he will

had gone out of the country. 1t was the
opinion of the speaker that California re-
qulred development rather than popula-
ton. Every man owning transportation
line or vast tract of land wanted more
people to carry and more purchasers of
land. What we need is the extension of
opportunity for labor. The miner in the
pursuit of his calling requires many arti-
cles of merchandise. He must have his
house to dwell in. and so a market is
created for lumber. He must have ma
chinery, SO work is given to the manufac-
turer.

Scott, lis the very basis of prosperity

Recurring to the subject of the life which
mining impaired to other industries, Mr..
Scott said: $50 to the Union Iron Works

square crowded with mining machinery
for California, Mexico, Arizona, Montana
and Utah. The quantity is vastly greater
than the works ever had in the palmlst

the payroll, as in the OLD mining days we
hare now 1000. What keeps these 1000

greatest mining prosperity the world has
ever known. Few of us are really aware
how very near it is.
'If the miner had had the advantage of

would not California have been In the
midst of prosperity now?
But the needy miner was never given a
hearing; he was treated tramp, and
his story considered Munchausen tale.
But these conditions have changed and
the money is now seeking the miner. and
this exchange has set out to bring them
together.

to assemble in the rotunda of the Mills

pointed the large space reserved for the

Promptly at the time designated Walter
Turnbull, president of the exchange,
opened the proceedings. He spoke of the
banding together of fifty men engaged in
all classes of Legitimate business ard pleo g.
ing to assist in promoting gold mining in
California and elsewhere. He believed
there never was time in California's MS
tory where such an opportunity was pre-
sented as the present for combined effort
IN the development of our gold mines. "Our
hills are overrun with prospectors who
are bringing back the most glowing re-
ports and begging for capital to develop
their flnds. Thus has the necessity arisen
and for this reason are we here to-day, to
lnaugurate our exchange, which will bring
together the honest miner and the man of
capital.

ence. He had seen the wonderful exam
pies OF energy and the large development
OF wealth due to the enterprise of the hon.
est miner. Touching on the financial
questions of the hour, he remarked that
the issue had been reduced to coin VS..
paper, to bullion VS.. bonds
Referring to Dumas fiction of "Monte
Cristo,' he remarked that the tropical
imagination of the author had fancied
S6O,OO0,0OO as the fable of wealth. That
was the dream of the richest Imagination
OF 1874. Yet in our day two of the mines
of the' Comstock lode produced $3.50 O00,-
600. The dream of A was the fact of II.
The story of what may be accomplished
by the revival of gold mining in California
cannot be told. The deeper you 90 the
richer becomes the yield.
The Transformation in San Francisco
when $1,0OO,OOO month was distributed
in dividends was marvellous. We have
not wholly lost the force of that splendid
feeling. The great buildings of San Fran
cisco attest in a measure the wealth pro-
duced by the mines.
Mr.. Scott estimated that $400, ZOO, 600 in
gold still remained in the United States
but acknowledged that vast sums of the
treasure, owing to our system of finance,

men employed? 1t is their ability to get
their pay for an honest days work. What
limit can you have to your prosperity if
you take out 81 day when only 81 day
was formerly taken?
Scarcely had the applause following Mr..
Scott's speech subsidized. when President
Turnbull introduced Hugh Craig. presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce. He
began by translating the motto OF San
Francisco renderi ng it "Gold in peace and
in war iron." He did not hold to the
opinion that the advancement of agricult-
ure meant the ecadence of mining. When
wheat is selling at cent a pound, and
other prod uctions of the farm proportion
ately low, there was no good encourage
ment for agriculture. In the DEVELOPMENT
of California mines only the surface has
been prospected. Within very few years
mining will become SO important that
every detail will be Oh scientific basis.
In closing, Mr.. Craig paid a compliment
to the ability and patience displayed by
Walter Turnbull in the organization of the
exchange. He also extended the good
wishes of the Chamber of Commerce + O
the prosperity of the new institution.

Unions of the Council Instruct Their

The building trades strike against the
Parrott building has reached decidedly
interesting, as well as a strained, situa-
ton. The superintendent announces that
he will not delay the work another day,
and if to-day the affair is not settled he
will get men from any source and put
them to work in the strikers places.
The council and the unions it represents
are equally determined not to yield. and it
is proposed to carry the fight on to the
bitter end if the job is not unionized. The
councils delegates say they are satisfied
that the Bruschke contract could be
broken by those in authority if they
wished to do SO and at no loss to the
estate.

States Mint, spoke as practical mining
man OF forty years experience. He as
serted that the institution of the Gold
Mining Exchange was organized for n
purpose as important as any that had ever
been lnaugurated in California. Mining
was the true home industry that should
be encouraged. 1t was the source of un-
failing wealth, as you find scales in all
parts OF the world TO give you the value of
the product.
The object of the association was not to
induce speculation. Ii that had been the
purpose he would not have Joined. 1t did
propose to give security to investors who
knew nothing of mining. He traced the
encouragement of the mining industry,
which was often caused by placing the
management of mining property in the
hands of ignorant and incompetent men.
When mining is justly treated rs legiti-
mate industry it will meet with as much
success as any other calling derives.
The mining industry creates wealth.
The building in which we are assembled
was erected by D. o. Mills, who made his
start in TuOlumne County by selling
water to the miners. The first million
dollar draft ever drawn in California came
from the mines, and was drawn by John
Gashwiier.
Mr.. Daggett quoted statistics prepared
by Charles Yale, statistician of the Mint,
showing that last year III California Ia, 900
miners produced Sis, 900 OOO He asked if
any other industry could equal such pro-
duction.
Colonel P. 7. Dickinson made the clos
ing remarks, introducing, as he said,
little sentiment. Observing that time,
proverbiaily made for slaves, was also
made for sovereigns, he produced a beau
tiful watch and presented the timepiece to

The president of the exchange accepted
the gift and expressed the hope that the
institution SO opened would never close,
but would live to be quoted as mining au-
thority in the capitals of London, Paris
and Berlin.

change are: President, Walter Turnbull

The Building Trades Council Is De-
termined to Unionize the Big
Parrot Building


A long meeting of the Building Trades
Council was held last evening. The bust
ness agents presented reports upon the
strike and Its progress. H. M. Saunders
stated that he had unionized a mixed lob
on Second avenue. He had also ord cred
walkout on mixed job on Fell and
Scott streets, where non-union men were at
work. On Twenty-fifth and Folsom
streets he had found a job where a
number OF lathers were at work who had
formed union of their own outside of
the Building Trades Council. He gave
the regular union men orders to strike the
job if the outsiders continued to work.
The report was made that the reason the
members of the Electrical Workers Union
on the Parrott building did not walk ont
was because the union is virtually under
the control of electricians who are in the
employ OF an iron manufacturing firm and
streetcar electric railroad. 1t is likely
that new union that will affiliate with
the council will be organized.
1t was decided to publish manifesto
stating to the public the causes of the
strike, and particularly the strike on the
Parrott building.
A report was made that Bruschke of the
furniture company is organizing "union"
among ms Workmen On the proflt-sharing
principle.
A communication was received from
Carpenters and Joiners' Union No. 483
stating the attitude of the union on the
Parrott job and read. 1t appears elsewhere
in this issue.
The delegates from the Wood and Furni-
ture Union announced that that BODY will
hold an open meeting tonight at 1859 Mis-
sion street, to which all of that craft
union and non-union-have been invited.
Agents Saunders and McIvor stated the
position that the superintendent of the
Parrott building had taken relative to the
men returning to work. The council de-
cided not to back down from the position
already taken to unionize the building if
1t is possible. Further efforts will be made
to-day to bring about settlement that
will relieve the strike on the building.

Mr.. BrusChke, who only employs small force
of men. Now, we have no control over Mr.
Bruschke, as he has contract to perform GO r
tain work, and it does not matter to him
whether or not the entire building is tied up.
He will fulfill his contract in spite of all that
can be done. He will be here about two
weeks longer, Is it reasonable to have ali of
the other work stopped by strike until he

he can go right along without interruption

that this cannot be done. The work will have
