EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

The Building Trades Council to Take
the Matter to Washington.
Aside from its action upon enforcing the
union working card the Building Trades
Council last evening transacted considera-
bic other business. By vote of - to it
decided not to recognize the shinglers'
delegates to the council because OF differ
ences between the carpenters and shinglers
relative to their respective lines OF work
Another complaint has been sent to this
City from the carpenters working in Mill
Valley, Marin County. A letter was sent
to Business Agent c.. +. Schadt OF the
council, which says:
j. w. Anderson, q contractor, is advertising
In the San Francisco papers for carpenters
ana bringing them here to work on nine
hour job, Several members OF the San Fran
cisco have come here not knowing that they
were acting in any way different from the
other carpenters here.
lhe facts are that all the Jobs here, with
this one exception, are union jobs, and about
twenty or thirty union carpenters are at
work.
Anderson gets the men on the representation
that all the jobs here work nine hours.
We leave IL TO your discretion to do what you
think best to prevent this man obtaining any
more men under these pretenses. We have
already seen him and can get no other reply
than that he proposes to run his job to suit
himself We have got two men away and will

The Polishers' and Varnishers' delegates
were admitted to the council.
Business Agent McIvor made report
upon the violation of the eight-hour Fed
eral law in the painting of the battleship
Oregon. He said he had called upon
United States District Attorney Il. S.
Foote, who hesitated and showed his dis
inclination to enforce the law against the
big Union Iron Works sub-contractor who
was doing the painting.
Foote turned P. McIvor over 10 deputy,
who initiated his superior. The council
decided to place the matter in the bands
OF the grievance committee wife instruc-
tons to communicate with the Pacific
Coast Representatives and the Justice De-
partment at Washington 1t will be

THE BREWERY TROUBLE
The Onion Beernakers Are Indorsed
by the Building Trades
Council

The United Brewery Workmen's Union
is preparing for another big fight with the
Brewers Protective Association unless the
members OF the latter organization agree
TO settlement of the old troubles.
Secretary Walters recently sent a letter
TO the association asking for the appoint
ment of a conference committee to discuss
the situation, but later he was informed
that for some reason the letter was never
Iead, and under these circumstances he
decided not to open the fight until after he
was. fully informed of the stand of the
boss brewers. However, last night he
sent the following letter to the Building
Trades Council.
To the officers and members of the Building
Trades Counci&-FELLow WoRKMEN: The United
Brewery Workmens Union of San Francisco is
faced with an alternative of giving up their
union or fighting for their recognition. We
have tried by every honorable means to avoid
this conflict, but have been met by insults and
repulses. We are now determined to make a

final test of strength. and ask your sympathy
and moral support when the time OF action
arrives.
We desire an expression OF your opinion and
ideas at this time, as a knowledge OF suca is
vital to the success OF our plans. We take IL
for granted that the helping hand of fraternaI
friendship will be extended to US by you, ana
ask such assurance as matter OF detail and
preparation only
Fraternally yours, United Brewery WORK
mems Union. JOSEPH WALTERS, secretary.
The council unanimously promised the
Brewers Union its support. Similar
action will no doubt be taken by the labor
council tonight. As stated by Walters
his purpose in this course is TO learn OF the
attitude of the other unions in case 1t
comes to an open fight.
In such an event steps will be taken to
introduce union beer from the brewerles
of adjoining towns. Here is where the
labor union support will be wanted to boy
colt the one and patronize the other.

Plugged Horses.
The President of the Jockey Club
Investigated Matters Himself
to Some Purpose.

Thomas Williams president OF the Cali
fornia Jockey Club, hunted up Judge
Campbell late last night and had him
issue two warrants for the arrest OF two
men whom he suspects of the crooked
work which was done at the track last
Tuesday.
When the mare Marjorie was ready to
come TO the post last Tuesday, it was seen
that she was distressed. II was thought
that she had been drugged, but it was
found her nostrils were plugged with fine
silken sponees. This led to further inves-
tigation, and it was found that the mare
Decision, who bad run very shy, had been
treated In the same way.
Nobody knew anything about the trick,
and at the time Investigations were use
less, but since then Williams heard some
thing which led him to suspect two men,
and so he hunted up Judge Campbell.
The Judge was found just leaving the
Tlvoll, but he went up to the City Hall
and issued the warrants and about 1
o'clock this morning Williams and some
officers started out to serve them.

OF IN TEREST TO THE COAST
Orders Issued for the Trial
Trip of the Battle-Ship
Oregon.
The Pacific Funding Bill Will Soon
Be Considered in the House
of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90.-The
Navy Department to-day sent orders to
San Francisco for the trial of the Oregon.
The conditions of the trial trip will be the
same as those in the case of the Indiana
and Massachusetts,, and the trial Will take
place over thirty knot course in the
Santa Barbara channel, just outside OF the
old Olympic course. The California build
ers are expressing confidence that they
will be able to match the 16. 20 knots of the
Massachusetts, when the trial is run off.
which will be as soon as the board can re-
ceive the instructions mailed to-day.
THE CALL correspondent tonight re-
ceived definite information that the Pacific
funding bill would be made a special or
der for consideration in the House of Rep.
resentatives on Tuesday, Nav II. This
comes from Speaker Reed through a mem
Der of Congress. There have been reports
circulated here TO the effect that the Presi-
dent would veto the bill if it passed Con-
gress.
1.-The passage of this bill would furnish
an excellent chance for the President To
make campaign material for his party.
His veto OF the Santa Monica job and the
funding bill would strike popular chord
and have no doubt he would veto both, u
said Pacific Coast Congressman to-day.
When this was suggested to Senator
Frye, however, he said: while l have no
doubt the President will veto the river
and haTbor bill he will not veto the Pacific
roads bill"
By direction of the Secretary of War,
Captain Guy L. Eddie, assistant surgeon.
upon the expiration OF his present leave OF
absence will report TO the commanding

Some Fine Sport Furnished Race
gcers Opening Day at
Ingleside.
FORTUNA GETS IN AT 80 TO 1.
George Palmer Beat Scarborough BY
Close Margin-Mt. McGregor
II Dumped the Talent.

1ngleside track was favored with peauti-
ful weather for its reopeninG day. Many
of the sport loving public who had
been recuperating during the Bay Dis
trict's spell OF racing again turned out in
numbers and the ring presented almost as
animated appearance as early in the sea-
son when the game was fresh. Needless
10 remark, the fair sex did full honor to
'ladies' day." They occupied the greater
part of the grand stand and grew hysteri-
cally enthusiastic over some of the many
close finishes.
The sport was tar above the average.
The driving finishes precluded all chance
of there being many ''lobsters," although
the performances of one or two horses did
not reflect much credit on their riders.
And, withal, while the racing was excel
lent, it was q disastrous day for the talent.
Two of their hardest downfalls were on
Olive and Mt. McGregor II, both favorites
of the ''cinchy'' order. Montalvo, the
jumper, and George Palmer were the only
winning first choices.
The swell upset of the day occurred in

which Olive went to the post top-heavy
favorite, backed from twos down to to 10.
Joe Terry and All Over. the second and
third choices, respectively, both went back
In the betting. The favorite and All Over
made the running to the far turn, where
the latter fell back, and Joe Terry took
second position. Into the stretch Olive
gradually forged ahead and appeared TO
hold the race safe, when McClain suddenly
brought the 80 to 1 shot, Fortuna, on from
third place, and in the hottest sort of
drive snatched the race by short nose.
Joe Terry was good third.
The bookmakers chalked up l to 2
against Montgomery In the betting on the
opening race, i've and half furlong
dash for maidens, but he did not seem to
stand in very high favor with bettors, and
the greater portion of the coin went in on
the "a to second choice, Carnation. Be-
fore reaching the stretch the latter had
passed Montgomery, and at the wire beat
him out easily by three LEM tbs. Yucata
100 to shot, finished in the show.
A selling affair at six furlongs followed.
Nervoso, with Willie Flynn up, opened
pronounced 6 to choice over the other
obtainable. This price was later backed
down to 2. Red Pike Irma and Enclno
were all fairly well supported at longer
odds. Red Pike showed the field the way
to the stretch when he had enough. 1rma
then took up the running, but was passed
by both Encino and Warrago, the former
winning easily by three lengths.
The betting on the two-year-olds, with
nine facing the starter, was sharp and
brisk. Around post time it was to and
take your pick against either George Pal
mer or Adam Andrew. Long odds were
laid against the majority of the other
starters. Adam Andrew showed promi-

pace grew too hot for him. Strengthened
for the wire, George Palmer took COM

on the inside, gained the verdict by nose.
