14S new mem bers were initiated into the
union, and the men are confident of sue
cess.
This morning committees will visit every
job of work in the City and call out every
union man employed there except those
employed by master painters who have
accepted the terms of the union.
The painters say they are now in COM
mand of the situation, as the union now
numbers in It's membership nearly all the
expert workmen in the City. sit does not
take much money to go into the painting
business said r. T. McIvor, business
agent OF the association. They know that
if they refuse to pay US wages we will en-
ter into competition with them and simply
do all the work that is to be done. That
is where we have the best of it.
Thus the. master painters" he con-
tinued, "have been figuring on their work
at So per day for the iourneymen, and then
paying the journeymen 81 and 50 so. St.

rott building. not on contract but Gay
wages, and they have employed there
Italians and Frenchmen, who cannot get
employment elsewhere, because they can
not understand the language, and they
are paying them as low as 81 per day, and
charging the Parrett estate 3d. All union
men have struck from the Job
Many of those who joined last night are
foremen of the shops, and who have never
been connected with any union before;
men drawing the largest salaries in the
trade. 1t Is intimated that they have
taken this step at the instance of the
master painters themselves, as according
TO the conditions of the strike the men
could not go back to work under foremen
who were not union men.
At the meeting at the Temple in the
morning it wes decided to send out COM
mittees to visit the master painters and to
assemble again at 3 in the afternoon to
hear the reports.
In the afternoon about 200 journeymen
painters met in the hall, with President
Rose presiding. He called for reports,
and they were made in rapid succession.
Most of them were of an unsatisfactory
character. The tenor of nearly all of them
was that the masters would like to pay
the wages, but would do so only if the
others did,
Five firms were reported to have con-
sented to the terms of the union. They
were: II. Wagner OF California street,

but not otherwise
Vice-President Eaton of the Master
Painters Association was reported by R.
L. Mc1yor as claiming that the union had
not given them fair warning and had
treated them unfairly. This was dis
claimed.
McIvor, in a short address, said: cit
simply comes to this: The master paint
ers say they will pay the wages and recog-
nize the union when they are compelled
to. They invite US to COMPEL them. If
we stand together We can do that. # we
break ranks we will be compelled to 90
back to work at any wages that may be
offered u.s." This was greeted with ap-
plause.

has to meet" said McIvor, sis the firm OF
st. Denis & Co. They are employing sail
OrS ana Otner inexperienced men on their
big job on the Parrott building, and dis
charging union men because they are
union men,"
A mum Der of others in the house corrob-
orafed this statement.
G. L. Ames stated that he had visited
the A. P. A. employment office on Post
street and inquired if they would supply
men to the master painters at less than So
per day. He was assured that the bureau
could have no compunctions of conscience
about doing that; they would supply men
at any rate the men themselves would ac-
cept. The office was supposed to be sup
ported by per capita tax of the councils,
and as few of them paid the tax the man.
aeer felt independent of them. Ames said
further that he had gone to the office of the
State Labor Bureau and Mr.. Fitzgerald
there assured him that he would furnish
no labor except at full wages.
A motion OF censure of the A. P. A. office
was made, and with only slight protest
was passed.
A committee of ten was appointed, each
member of which was to select four others,
making ten committees OF five each, to
visit all work being done in the CITY and
to call out the union men employed upon
them. Following is the composition OF
the committee of ten: Y. McAvoy, C. L.

Gori ended the debate with some Par
THAN shots at the socialists. He said they
promised many things, which they
straightway went and forgot. He limited
that they were otfice-seekers, and he closed
the discussion by reading extracts from
Socialism in Danger" work by the
famous Dutch socialist, G. Doneld Nieu-
wenhau. Corr closed the book with the
remark that the Hollander was proper

While we were standing before the king
the new minister Of war, General Choy,

king that he had come to request that

DR.. Allen at this point said that Cen
eral Dye had come to Korea under the
auspices of the United States minister;
that his appointment to the army as or
ganizer and instructor had been made
by the king, and his contract with that
parsonage attached him to the royal
household. He would not permit him
