OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,l
908 Broadway, Feb. 9.
Representatives of all the recognized
trade and labor organizations have de-
cided to take practical part in the COM
ing municipal election.
Last night meeting was held and an
organization known as the Municipal Un-
ion Labor Club was organized. The pur-
pose o. this club is clearly set forth in the
following preamble, which was adopted i:
1.-THE object of this club is for the ad-
vancement and betterment of the condi-
tion of wage-workers, the discussion OF
economic questions, and taking part in
municipal affairs.
Its m mbership shall be composed OF
active mem bers of trades organizations,
provided, however, that no person who is
an active member of any political party
or candidate of any political party for
any public office can be participant in
the proceedings of this club"
The club elected c. d. Rogers, presi-
dent; Thomas Feeny, vice-president, and
M. A. Roberts, secretary and treasurer.
An ex cutive conn mittee from the various
unions was also elected.
Some days ago body calling itself the
"Labo League" placed before the voters
ticket which it called labor ticket
The various unions comprising the Fed
Grafton of Trades know nothing regard
ing the LA Dor League" and are anxious
TO discover with whom it originated and
OF whom it is composed. A committee of
three was appointed by the Labor NUM-
clpal Club TO inquire into the status of the
Labor League and to report next Monday
evening. 1t is very probable that the club
may indorse complete municipal ticket
favorable to organized labor.
The Labor League whose ticket has
caused such interest is an offshoot of the
old Federal Labor Union, which was re-
organized two weeks ago. OF this body
the well-known orator, Eugene HGugh,
was the controlling spirit until he went to
wider sphere of work IN the East some
months ago. J. T. Latimer is the secre-
tary OF the iesg GU and he declares that il
has large and active me m beIship.

Gldeon Z. Woodward, who keeps store
on Fillmore street moved that the con-

ferrei TO the executive committee and
that the Superintendent OF Streets be noti-
fed.
Chairman Cross also spoke of the very
bad condition OF the sidewalk on the
square block bounded by Fillmore, SUIT
ter, Steiner and Bush streets, which is
owned by Z. =: Butler, and upon which
old rotten wooden sidewalks are permiIteo
to remain. The matter was also referred
to the executive committee.
On the motion OF Secretary McCusker
an adjournment was taken until to-
morrow evening when it is expected
there will be full meeting OF the mem
bers.

VALUE Of A GOOD TEMPER,
Peter Henderson's Wife Had a
Cheerful Disposition Worth
$4,000.

cheerful wife is worth $4,000 in San
francisco. At least that is the way in
which Peter Henderson assesses damages
against John w. Ferris and Thomas Da-
wilson, who by their carelessness caused
Peters wife, Margaret, to be injured by
an explosion.
The complaint sets forth that Mr.. Hen
derson and his wife lived at Rlvoli
avenue, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets, in this City, on February
~, 1895, when the defendants excavated a
lot near the Henderson residence and de-
posted 5000 pounds of powder, which the
defendants did then and there ''carelessly,
ne ligently, unlawfully and wrongfully
cause the said powder to expio lie with
such force and violence that large quanti-
ties OF dirt and rock were thrown out and
through the air with great force, and a
violent conclusion was caused; that said
Margaret Henderson was struck about the
head, hands, body and linn bs by the rocks
and dirt SO thrown out, and was Jared and
shahen by the conclusion, so that her
spine was injured and she has become an
invalid and her memory has been i'm
paired"
In estimating his damages Mr.. Hender-
son proceeds on the common law doctrine
that his wife is part of his property and
estate; that he is entitled to his wife's
services and companionship, and that
whoever deprives him of those benefits
must respond in damages. Accordingly
Mr. Henderson alleges ;hat prior to the
accident here mentioned his wife Margaret
was strong and healthy woman and mad a
kind and amiable temper and disposition,
and was of great assistance and a great
comfort and support 10 him. But since
the injuries then received her tempera-
ment has chcnged and she has become ex-
ceedingly nervous and fretful and has be-
come an invalid and is unable to comfort
and assist him and to attend to his wants
and to che him as she could and did
prior to her injuries.
Mr.. Henderson alleges that by reason of
his wife's great change of disposition ana
temperam ent, and her being made an in
valid, and her memory being i'm paired,
ali OF which were caused by her injuries
received at the time of the explosion, he
has been caused great and irrepara BILE IN
jury and has been caused constant mental
pain and anguish and has been deprived
of the pleasure and comfort and benefit of
the society of his wife and has been de-
prived OF her services, by reason of all
which he has been DAMAGED in the sum of
$4,000. He also asks for $445 paid out for
medicine, physicians services, nurses
attendance and other matters OF that char
acter.
