EIGHT HOUR DAY
Is Not Favored by Famous Mrs.
Martin


Martin
OAKLAND, April 30.-Mrs. John Mar
tin, the contestant of the will of Henry
Martin, in which she played senea ton
al part, proposes to startle the resi-
dents in the neighborhood of Twenty
first and Bush streets by donning
bloomers and painting two cottages Of
which she is the owner.
This determination ie the result of a
quarrel with the painters she employed
week ago to do the work. Already
she has painted the interior OF one Of
the cottages, and only stopped work to
attend the hearing of the Fair will con-
test. When she found It necessary to
repair and paint her cottages she en-
ployed several painters and carpenters.
The work was not let by contract, for she
believed 1t could be done cheaper by day
work, especially as she proposed to
oversee the job herself. So when the
painters were ready to 60 to work Mrs
Martin was there. prepared to stay
until the job was completed.
Oakland painters have a union. and
one Of the most rigid rules of the asso-
citation is that no union painter shall
work more than eight hours day. This
rule proved thorn in the side OF the
Industrious Mrs. Martin. She could not
stand to see the sun high in the sky and
the painters getting ready to 60 home
and calling the time they had put in a
days work. Besides they had not
worked hard nor steadily during the
day. according to Mrs. Martins way OF
thinking, and she WAS not whit back
ward about telling them %. Further
than that shs tcl4 them their ssryiees

Oil Stocks Rising

NEW YORK, April 30.-A sale of Stand
ard Oil stock was made on the curb here
today at 800, which price Is the highest
ever paid for the shares of the company,
and represents q rise of something like
forty points Within the last few months.
Standard OIL stock. which now rules at a
higher figure than any of the other So
called trust shares. yields in regular div
idends u per cent annually, but within
the last fifteen months upwards of 40 per
cent has been paid, through the medium of
extra dividends. and this fact. together
with rumors to the effect that at the forth
coming meeting of the directors, an extra
dividend Of at least 10 per cent will be de-
clared, in addition to the usual per cent
for the quarter, accounts for the sharp
rise in the stock.
