aried positions. He stated that the
total OF salaries .r the city hall amount
ed to $1066 per day, and moved that all
these employees be requested to donate
one days saiary toward swelling tn.
unemployed fund. The motion car
rfed, and a committee, composed of the
mayor City attorney and city clerk. wa
appointed to attend to the collection pi
these subscriptions. A similar resolu.
tion was passed respecting the county
employees at the court house. The cora
mittee appointed to look after these
subscriptio was composed of the
sheriff, clerk and assessor.
DETAILS DISCUSSED.
On motion of j. II. Newberry reso-
luton was passed that each member OF
the association should solicit his land
lord to contribute to the fund.
Bishop Montgomery said that he had
taken part in move conducted by the
residents of San Francisco several years
ago when the conditions were very SIM
liar to those now existing here. AT
that time there were more applicants
than could be furnished with work and
consequently only 1000 were employed
at a time and these for but ten days,
when another lot of men were given
their places. They were paid dollar a
day and the plan succeeded admirably.
Every sensible man understood the
urgency of the case and knew that there
was no attempt to lower wages.
A committee consisting of Gen For
man, Bishop Montgomery r.. w. Burn
ham, Judge Silent and j. r. Newberry
was then appointed to confer with the
city council and the county board of su-
pervisors and ask them. to supply tools
and implements for the men who shall
be put to work, and for further arrang-
ing a rock pile and barracks for those
who will not work.
Judge Silent then stated that 1t should
be borne in mind that the means pro-
posed were calculated only to afford
temporary relief. He said: THE city
council will be asked to vote bonds in
the sum of $780, 900 for improving Grif-
fifth park. which Is part of this plan"
Captain Stedman, of the Salvation
army, said Our system in dealing
with the unemployed is this: If man
will not work neither shall he eat. l
think that you are working along the
right line and the Salvation army can
be depended upon TO do anything pos
sible to help you"
Captain Stedman did not think that
there were over two or three hundred
unemployed men in the city who actual
ly want work.
The action of Mayor Snyder in call
ing a mass meeting at Hazards pavil-
ion tomorrow evening to consider meas
ures for helping the unemployed was
criticised. Those present considered
that such a call was entirely unneces-
sary, as the matter is now in competent
hands A resolution was adopted that
Mayor Snyder be requested to rescind
his action in calling this meeting.
SEVENTY FIVE MEN WANTED.
Judge Silent then stated that Simon
Maier had agreed to employ seventy
five men at once. and that number will
be offered places today. The meeting
then adjourned.

march to the city hall to present their
case to the mayor
Mr.. Swift called the meeting to order.
He endeavored, by questioning men
from the various wards and trades rep
resented, to approximate the actual
number of unemployed in the city. one
man said he knew a contractor who
had agreed to bring 200 skilled carpen-
ters who are idle to any place where
work can be furnished.
The number of idle bricklayers Is
much larger, II was said, and the con-
sensus of opinion seemed to be, that
three thousand would not be over-stat-
ing it.
Mr.. Swift once more urged the men to
stand together for a change in the in
dustrial system and the best way to
bring that about was to state facts. The
great social movement he said, in this
country has scarcely begun, for the
middle classes are rapidly approaching
the condition of the working man. When
trusts and monopolies have taken all
the important Industries of the country
there is nothing left for the working
classes but to sink lower and lower.
All our people are corrupted by the am
bition to get the miserable dollar and
we have begun right at the mass meet
Ing, that would not furnish permanent
employment.
After appointing a meeting for We'd
nesday morning at the Sixth street
park. the crowd fell into line and
marched to the city hall to present d
petition to the mayor.
We have begun the work of forming &
public ownership clubs to educate the
people. When the nation understands
this it will be divided into two groups
the we'll to do and the working class
The body that will stand out against It
will be the millionaires They will
eventually see that 1t will be better for
the country when the people own the
railpads, gas and telegraph.
Mr. Swift urged his hearers to vote
against any measure proposed at the
meeting on wednesday.

check this rowing tendency before 1t be-
came too late. lie asked that Los An
geles take the lead In this great work,
which II once insugurated, would epread
all over the coun try. In answer tn the
objection that such system wodli at
tract the unemployed from all over
the country, Mr.. Swift said that such
would not be the case. as the men would
not have an easy time. and the life would
have no attractions for the idle or die
solute, ard III any men did come for the
purpose of taking up their abode, they
would be such q class as would help
build up the city, and would be worth
taking care of.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Swift's re-
marks, the petition presented by him
was also referred to the committee of
the whole for further consideration.

These subscriptions" said Judge s

"These subscriptions" said Judge ST.
lent, have been obtained upon this
representation, that we pay men who
want to work about 81 per day. Men
with families will be given the prefer
ence and these are to be citizens. The
great register will be used as a means
for determining ahat question. We will
try to provide work for all deserving
persons who want to work.
THE city council will be asked to pro-
vide rock pile and to put all hobos and
idle men who will not work upon this
The tramp question will thus be elimi-
mated"
Judge Silent thought that Elysian
park would be a good place to spend the
money raised. He said that the Coop
GRAFTON OF the park commissioners
would be asked in giving the unemployed
work. From the present indications he
considered that 1t would be possible to
raise $4,000 for the unemployed fund.-
and this amount would be sufficient for
constructing boulevard through the
entire length of Elysian park, which
would be great benefit to the city.
ASSOCIATIONS CONTRIBUTION.
MI. Frank suggested that as man
win subscription paper is usually
asked how much he has himself sub
eorfbed, 1t would be good idea for the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ten to contribute something toward the
Sund. On motion of II. j. Fleishman a
tesolution was passed instructing Presi-
dent Frank to subscribe $3.50 in behalf
Of the association.
WORK IN ELYSIAN PARK.
superintendent Of Parks A. T. Carey
heartily endorsed the work being done
Ne stated that 100 men could be used in
the city parks to great advantage.
w. II. Workman, of the park commis-
olen, was asked what he thought Of the
proposition to build a boulevard through
Glysian park. He said that either
new road could be built or the work could
be spent widening the old road which is
now far too narrow. He thought that
dollar per day was sufficlent amount
to pay for the labor.
NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED.
D. ]. Carr. of the city and county free
labor bureau. was asked for information
regarding the number of unemplove] in
the city. He did not think that there
are over 800 deserving unemployed men
In the city at the outside. There ara
lots Of hobos and professional begRars
here" he said, "and the only way to ret
rid Of them Is to provide rock pile. That
will clean them out quicker than any-
thing else" He said that he would ho
glad to use the bureau in any way pos
yible to help the movement being con-
Iucted by the association. Men Of fam
Ves however. he thought, should re.
eive - much as $1.26 per day.

Judge Silent then brought this oues-
tion to q focus by moving that for the
present the wages Of those who shall
be assisted be placed ct q dollar per dav
