HOSPITAL FOR
RAILROAD MEN
Huntington's Two Big Cor
porations May CO.
operate.
Circular Letters Sent Out TO
Sound Employees on the
Pan.
Each Man Will B, Expected to Con.
tribute so Cents Per Month
to the Fun1.

Their employees being willing, the
Southern Pacific Company and the Mar
ket-street Railway Company will join in
the establishment of hospital wherein
mem bers, on the payment OF certain
monthly fee, not to exceed so cents, will
receive medical assistance of all kinds in
cases of accident or illness.
The idea originated with the Southern
Pacific Company, but as that company
has not enough employees in this City to
warrant the establishment of such an in
stitution on its own account it was de-
cided to secure the cooperation OF the
street railway employees.
About ten days ago the first circular
relative to the matter was sent out to the
heads of the various divisions of the
Southern Pacific Company in this City,
and the result was deemed sufficiently
favorable to interest the sister corporation.
So yesterday General Manager Vining of
the Market-street Railway Company sent
out the following circular:
To AL Heads Of Departments: The Southern
Pacific Company has been requested to estab-
nsh hospital in San Francisco. A decision
as to whether it Will do SO or not will probably
huntington; and it is probable that the
decision will be governed by the decision of
the Market-street Railway Company as to
whether it win or will not join the Southern
Pacific Company In the establishment of such
a hospital for the benefit of the employees Of
the two companies.
1t Is hardly necessary to state that among so
large force OF men accidents and sick ness
require medical attendance of nature which
can be provided better and more economically
by means OF such hospital as is proposed
than in any other way. The expense of con-
tracting Tor necessary treatment will not
exceed 90 cents per month, and ii may be
found practicable to make the fee somewhat
less than atamount
We have no desire to force upon our en-
ployes any provision of the kind above men
toned, and do not intend to have anything to
do with it unless it is not only satisfactory to
them, but really desired by them
/ therefore inform you of the situation, with
the request that you lay the matter before
your employees in such way as you think
proper. II they desire action taken upon the
subject, they can in any way they choose notify
you of such desire.
Ii such action is not taken 1t will be under
stood that the employees do not desire such
hospital privileges, and the matter will be
dropped. What we wish to obtain is q free and
candid expression of the opinion of onr en-
ployes upon the subject, and in the absence of
positive action by them it will be understood
that they prefer to leave matters as they are.
Not until it has been found that a salts
factory mum ber are willing to participate
in the scheme will it be decided whether a
hospital W ill be built or some existing in
stitution utilized for the care of the sick
and injured. s

In explaining the result of the city cleo

Two clockmakers sold clocks to the Afri-

WhyP Because it licked louder. So with

by the tick" This is altogether the most
satisfactory explanation of the affair that
has yet been given. 1t is clear that any

600, has been disputed by writer for the
Inter Ocean, who, in an elaborate review of
our foreign trade, shows that they
amounted to less than $135, 600. 600. The
difference is so great that if Mr.. Ford has
not lost his regard for public opinion as
