TRADES COUNCIL MEETING
The Unemployed of the Labor
Unions Enrolled for Picket
Duty.
Reports of District Committees on the
Card-All Jobs Must Be
UnioniZed.

A meeting of the unemployed belong
ing to the labor unions under the auspices
of the Trades Council was held in the
Turk-street Temple yesterday afternoon.
John Mccartney was elected chairman
and w. Neergard secretary of the meeting.
Chairman Mccartney said the object of
the meeting was to push the card among
workmen. Every one must labor to bring
all operatives into the union, and for that
purpose was the City districted and a
committee chosen to work each locality.
The reports of several of the committees
were read. In many places non-union
men were at work, especially among car
penters. In some places men were work
ing nine hours, being obliged to do so by
employers who were wealthy and could
afford to tie the jobs up for years, and
were only letting them be worked 'merely
for amusement"
would not do, and that every job in the
City must be unionized.
1--WE are out to establish the working
card or die in the attempt" said he,
This is too serious matter to let go by
neglect"
Mr.. Hughes moved that the unions be
asked to have their unemployed sent to
thO DOoA0 Va OuAAOlIB 1IduCo W Uo ell
rolled for picket duty in the different dis
tricts. The motion was carried.
On the whole, the reports were encour-
aging, as many contained promises to get
cards. Mr.. Rose thought that promise
on their part was not enough, but it must
be seen tnat they procured them.
Mr.. Bean spoke in the same strain, an d
said that all must keep up the fight At
his suggestion count was taken, and
eighteen persons present were found to be
unemployed. They were enrolled among
the district committees for picket duty.

Yesterdays Fire.Alarms.

An alarm was turned in through box SO at
3 P. NJ. yesterday for fire in Swans painting
establishment, at 759 Market street. The
blaze was caused by defective fiue. The dam
age amounted to about $40. The alarm
sounded from box 1876 last evening at 7:3O
o'clock was for a fire in two~story frame
dwelling at I'LL Van Ness avenue. The build
ing is owned by the Ledies' Relief Society and
is occupied by Mr.. Henry. A lace curtain ig-
hitting from gas jet started the blaze. The
damage will amount TO about 500. The alarm
from box 81 at $3.50 P. NJ. was for small blaze
caused by the careless use OF matches in q
dwelling-house occupied by John Rodgers, at
156 Clementina street. The building was
damaged to the extent OF $3.50.

seconds, while the Rover was hours IA
minutes and ii seconds in covering the
same distance. All over the course it was
a succession OF squalls and calms and fre-
ouently the squalls were from the wrong
direction.
In class the Harpoon made the course
in 2 hours ! minute and 35 seconds, while
the Edna took hours 54 minutes and "a
seconds to cover the distance. The other
boats did not finish.
The Mascotte, late entry, captured the
third event. She covered the course IN
hour IL minutes and 81 seconds, while the
best the yawl Pilgrim could do was hours
16 minutes and 10 seconds. 1t was the most
fiuky kind of weather and the yachtsmen
had no chance. The boat that caught the
wind held the lead.
In class the Flash won in the good
time of 1 hour 16 minutes and AZ seconds
and the Mirth was a good second in hour
AZ minutes and 81 seconds. The others
were not in it, while in the fifth class the
Surprise, Sea Fox and Cisne made drift
ing match of it, and not one of them sue
ceeded in reaching the finishing post in
time.
There were a number of mishaps during
the day and a considerable amount of
wrangling resulted. 1t was asserted that
the Ella fouled the stakeboat in Mission
Bag, and thus gained long beat to wind
ward. The captain of the Catherine (the
stakeboa) was sent for, and he said that
no foGling had taken place and that the
crew of the Ella had handled their boat
like genuine sailors.
During the maneuvering for the start
the Rover got into a pocket and had to
make long jibe in order to round the
starting-boat. She did not improve her
position during the entire run and only
finished fair second. Even this conces-
sion is disputed, as one of the smaller
boats is said to have beaten her out on
time allowance.
The Clara and Will o. the Wisp were in
collision off Angel Island. but neither of
them was damaged and both Yachts
reached home in safety. 1t was simply a
question OF drifting match.
The Ramona was the Judges boat and
the judges were Charles G. Yale, Matthew
Turner and J. NJ. Shotwell. The men who
had charge OF the regatta were II. H. Jen-
ness Charles b. Hill and Isadore Cutie.
Commodore Pew in the Truant and
Commodore Leonard in the Ell Sueno and
Captain Engleberg in the Sappho Joined
IN the races, but only "for the fun of the
thing" and when they found it was a
question of "whistling for the wind'' they
gave it up and sailed back for the clu b.
house. During portions of the day there
was regular soldiers breeze" and at
other times the wind was contrary enough
to make even sailor swear.
Harry Goodall, the starter, deserves
credit for the manner in which he got the
yachts away, and the British ship cap
tains showed their appreciation of the oc-
casion by dressing ship. The gunboat
Petrol flew her 300-foot pennant and the
Gedney was gayly bedecked for the celebra-
tion. All in all the San Francisco q
opening was gala day at Sausalito.
