"THE CALL" PRAISED.

Its Policy Toward Organized Labor
Just Suits the Barbers' Union.
At last nights meeting of the BARRIERS
union IN A. o. F. Hall The CALL came in
for many warm expressions OF sympathy
and regard. 1t was, in fact, termed "the
only friend the BARRIERS had among all the
metropolitan dailles."
The discussion started with an inform al
reference to the advantages that would
accrue TO the unem ployed in this City if
the new Posto1fice building should be
begun in the near future. In speaking of
the matter President j. a. Lorentzon said ::
II think, gentlemen. it is about time
the construction of the new Postoffice
building began. Things have been
drae ging too long, as it is. Many men are
n the utmost need of work at the present
time, and it is the duty of the Government
to give them a chance 10 do something at
once.
San Francisco needs a P ostoffice more
than any City l know of and deserves it
at thar. l think our representatives in
Washington should DO something to see
that it is done.
The CALL has been urging the matter
very vigorously here lately, and | hope its
efforts will be rewarded by success. While
! am at it l want TO say right here that
The CALL. no matter what may be jeal-
ousIy said. is the true friend of the work
ingman, and if the new postotice is started
here pretty soon the unemployed hungry
masses will have that paper alone TO
thank Ior it,"
|. Less. corresponding and financial
secretary, spoke in the same strain. At
the conclusion of his remarks on the sub
ject of the Postotfice he made motion to
CALL in its action toward organized labor.
In speaking to the motion he said:
THE CALL has always stood by the bar
bers. When we organized it had almost a
column in about it, while the other papers
merely mentioned the fact.
when we made our fight for the II
O'Clock closing bill, THE CALL took up our
cause, and Mr.. 'Shortri1 1ge mad two men
in Sacramento giving their entire time
and energy to helping u out.
The BARRIERS owe much to JHE CALL
and its proprietor, and should stand by
them when any shafts of malice, pro-
PEELED by jealousy and envy, are hurled in
its direction"
F. Hodges, the recording secretary, also
made a strong speech indorslng THE
CALLS policy in all matters relating to the
labor question.
THE CALL he said. "has sent repre-
sentatives TO report our meetings when
we were entirely ignored by the other
papers. That paper has done more for US
than all the rest put together. l do not
believe IHE CALL has ever done a single

Mayor Phelan and Dr. Rottanzi, chair
man of the Finance Committee OF the
Board of Supervisors, conferred yesterday
afternoon in the Mayors office with John
I. Sabin and Secretary Eaton concerning
the rates charged to the City and County
for telephones. The conference lasted
some time. The result, as announced at
the close of The deliberations, was that an
agreement was reached whereby the City
and County will pay fat rate OF $50 per
annum for each telephone in the new City
Hail and in the houses OF City and County
officials, with free switching. There are
ninety-nine telephones in the City offices
exclusive of the 200 employed in the po.
lice patrol system. The old rate was $9 40
per telephone. Chairman Rottanzi hgures
out that the saving is at least 81 per cent
and the gross saving to the City and
County is at least $1,000 per annum. The
conference was brought about through Su-
pervisor Rottanzps suggestion that there
ought TO tie some definite understanding.

ALL TUGC|NG TO WIN,
Exciting Sport Nightly Proceed
ing at Mechanics
Pavilion.
Last Night the Danish, Scotch, Cana.
diar, American and Swedish
Teams We're All al.

The inclement weather deferred many
lovers OF athletic sport from attending the
third night of the international tug-of-
war at Mechanics Pavilion, but when tho
time arrived for the mnencement of
tests Of power and strength the galleries
were pretty we'll I'll ed with ladies and
gentlemen and as time wore on the
audience grew larger.
The opening tug of the evening was be-
tween the Norwegian and Danish teams.
The Danes sold favorites in the pools.
When the signal was given the Nor
wegians put their shoulders to the wheel
and gained a few inches The Danish
anchorman was perfectly calm and
smiled blandly when the Norwegian team
gained slight advantage.
Finally the Danish captain gave the
signal to his men and with strong pull
and pull all together the Danes yanked
their opponents cleat over cleat and cap
tured the con test in l min. 38 sec. 1t was
an easy game for the Danes.
The next event was contest between
the Scotch and German teams, but the
mem bers of the Scotch team protested
against their anchorman, Atkinson, whom
they accused of nsportsmanlike conduct
on Monday evening and refused to pull
with him at the anchor.
The matter was finally adjusted after
much argument by substituting Robert
Duncan in the place of Atkinson, who
was left out in the cold to think over what
he had done.
The Scotchmen were opposed by the
Germans, and at the start they gained
foot in the first attempt, and without the
assistance of the cele brated Atkinson they
put their shoulders to the wheel and won
the pull in l minute and SO seconds.
The Canadian and Italian teams were
the next to enter the contest, and in the
betting the Canucks sold strong favorites
at 10 to l, and at these figures the small
end was aard to find. The Canadians
simply toyed with their opponents, and
struggle as best the sons of Italy could
they Jailed to hold their opponents, who
won the contest in min. % sec.
The United States and the irish teams
appeared under their respective colors.
The betting was $40 to So in favor OF the
Americans, and the contestants took
matters easy SO as to give the booksellers
a chance 10 take in any small ch inge the
bettors were disposed to wager on the re-
suit. The American team having no great
opposition to contend with, easily defeated
their opponents in l min. 81 sec.
The final contest of the evening was be-
The French were favorites selling ct $40
to 81 against their opponents. The strug-
gle was short and spirited, and to the sur
prise of all the French won in minutes
81 seconds.

The judgment of the Alameda County Court
was affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday
in the case OF Simon Koshland and others
against F. S. and ]. r. Spring. The plaintiffs
agreed to purchase piece of land from the
Springs and deposited $1,000 pending an in
vestigntion OF the title, which, the Springs as
serted; was good and valid. An examination
of the title did not satisfy the purchasers and
they demanded the return of their $4,000 de-
posit, which the Springs refused 20 return, de-
claring that there was no cloud on the title.
Koshland brought suit for the recovery of the
deposit and won the action. F. ON this the
Springs appealed, but to no purpose, for the
Supreme Court decided that the verdict of the
lower court was lust

j. H Harrison,s Death.

The Supreme Court has sustained the lower
court of this City in a case where the heirs OF
j. H. Harrison sued the Sutter-street Railroad
Company and the National Brewing Company
tor damages. Harrison was killed in col
Ision between a streetcar and a brewery
wagon of the two defendants and the widow
and daughters obtained a verdict of $4,000.
The defendants asked tor a new trial of the
case, on the ground that the damages were
excessive and the petition was granted.
The heirs appealed 10 the Sup eme Court to
have the order granting another trial set
aside. The Supreme Court sustained the lower
court, holding that the Superior Court did not
abuse its power in granting new trial and
that the evidence as to Harrison's age did not
show his ability to support his family, which
fact had much to do with the matter of dam
ages.

Lively Battle at Crown Point, Ind.
CROWN POINT, Ind, Jan. 2O-In a
pitched battle between Tolleston club
gamekeepers and preachers on the pre-.
serves of the Tolleston club, of Chicago,
near here, five men were shot, three of
them fatally. Poaching on the clubs
grounds had given its caretakers much
trouble of late, and seven gamekeepers,
well armed with shotguns and pistols,
were on duty yesterday when IA young
men, members of the families of neigh.
boring farmers, invaded the duck
swamp and prepared for days sport.
The watchmen bore down on the boys
I'M body and, hailing them from a con-
siderable distance, ordered them off the
clubs grounds. Instead of complying,
the poachers made rush for the
gamekeepers. The latter opened fire
at three rods range, and four of the
young men fell to the marsh ice riddled
with sh9t, tw9 Of them mortally
wounded Their comrades returned
the fire and Blackburn, one OF the
watchmen, fell with shot in his skull.
