THE MINING SITUATION.
Compromise Reached Whereby the
Assembly Bill Shall Be Amend ed
in Certain Details

The published accounts of the meeting
OF the Miners Association, held Tuesday
evening in the Union League Club rooms,
do not convey with clearness satisfactory
to the mem bers the real situation as re-
CARDS mining bills now before the Legis-
lature. Exactly stated, the situation at
present is as follows:
Bills were introd uced simultaneously by
Senator Prisk OF Nevada, in the Senate,
and by Judge Seward OF Sierra, in the
Assembly. The Seward bill promptly
passed the Assembly and went to the
Senate. There it was referred to the
Finance Committee, where it still rests.
At the request of Senator Prisk the SEN
ate Committee on Mines ana Mining re-
ported a substitute for his bill, which sub
stitute is now pending in the Senate, being
on the second reading file.
The Senate Finance Committee desires
to report certain amendments to the As
sembly bill, while the advocates of the
bill in the Assembly lear that the amend
ment of the bill in the Senate might jeop-
ardlze its approval by the Assembly upon
its return TO that body.
At Tuesday nlght's meeting compro-
mise was reached whereby it was agreed
that the Asse mbly bill should be amended
in certain matters of detail, provided the
two = ouses coulu be persuaded to pursue
that Course.

: ction of the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers Approved by the MoIders.
The following resolutions were adopted
by Ironmolders' Union No. 164 of this
City at its last meeting:
WHEREAS, The Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association OF this City has put itself
record against convict labor in general,
and openly discussed and denounced this
great evil and menace to free industry which
organized labor throughout the United States
has been persistently fighting for years; and
whereas, there seems 10 be some doubt in the
minds of many persons, not directly concerned
in this matter, whether organized labor as a
whole desires to cooperate with the said
Manufacturers Association in its efforts 10
restrict and as far as possible control prison
labor, through legislation now pending in
Congress and in our State Legislature; there
fore,
Resolved, By the /. NJ. U. No. 1874 that we
heartily endorse the action taken ana
the resolutions adopted by the Manu-
in Metropolitan Hall in this City on
the 9th inst, as we believe the enact
ment of the Southwfck bill now before Con-
gress and other bills directed against the same
vicious system now before the Legislature of
California will give great relief to our strug-
CLING nome industries and prove of mutual
bene ht to all employees and employers on the
Pacific Coast.
ResolUed, That in the said action of the Man
ufacturers' Association above referred to we
think we see the olive branch extended 10
labor, and we hereb cheerfully reciprocate
the good feeling shown, as we cannot under
stand why there should be any conflict be-
tween labor and capital engaged In the pro-
duction of the comforts and necessaries of life
At any rate, this is matter for the success of
which We can we'll afford to be friends.
ResolUed, That copy Of these resolutions.
properly indorsed, be sent by the secretary OF
this union to the secretary of the Manufactur-
ers' and Producers Association.

SALOON Closing Will Be the
Great Issue in the Com

Counc' men Who Gave Pledges Are
Sad TO Have Failed TO Keep
Them.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
9OS Broadway Feb Is


The action of the City Council of last
night in voting down the proposition to
submit the Sunday. losing question to the
people may have a marked effect on the
coming election.
. For TWO years the advocates of Sunday
closing, which movement originated be-
fore Rev. Dr.. RAIDER went to San Fran
cisco, have been making an earnest fight
TO: gain their desired end. Two years ago
they claimed majority of votes in the
-Councu in favor OF their proposition, but
Then The matter came to a vote q techni-
.'NcsLty arose of which advantage was taken
Aaad the matter was forgotten after the
election.
A few weeks ago the matter was pre-
. sented TO the Council by means of petit
ton asking that the question be sub
Intted TO the people at the coming cleo
ton, and the Christian Endeavorers and
allied bodIes received announcement
.. sufficient TO justify them in believing that
The question Of Sunday closing will be on
tire ballot.
Last night, however, two of the men,
NJ ssrs. Manuel and Mott, on WI ON they
depended, and who go out of Office next
month, voted against the Sunday closing
question and it was lost, and only the
question of totally closing the saloons will
20 before the people.
As soon as the result was known the
vote was announced at the Munhau re-
vjEal meeting at the First Presbyterian
Church, and when DR.. Coyle made the
announcement he denounced the Council
Een. in forcible language. He said they
aad pledged themselves TO individu uals to
submit the question 10 the people, and
had instructed the City Attorney to pre-
pare the election proclamation submit ing
- The question, and had backed down at the
last moment.
DR.. Coyle declared that the result was
due 10 a feeling that the citizens would
vote overwhelmingly to close all saloons
on Sunday, and that By submitting the
prohibition clause instead, many people
would refuse to vote for il that would
have favored Sunday closing.
The pastor called on all present to place
themselves on record as displeased with
the action OF tie Council and at the same
time to pledge themselves to do all in
their power 10 carry the prohibition pro-
vision.
AT the close Of the meeting almost every
individual in the church arose and ap
plauded. DR.. CoyIe viii speak on the sub
iect next Monday morning and other
. c.ergymen vii also take up the campaign,
Y wnicn will be continued without cessation
until the election.
e.. The Christian Endeavorers have an
nouaced their intention of yielding their
allegiance TO man who wall favor their
views on Sunday closing and many of
them have stated that they will desert the
men who sustained the Counc.imen who
opposed them and will support Rev.
Mr.. Goodenou for Mayor.

The Plute Indian baseball team from
Nevada will go up against the Stanford
Varsity nine at San Jose next tomorrow
afternoon. 1t will be the first game OF the
season for the coIlegians, who have only
just begun TO work into shape for the
three annual championship games to be
played with the University OF California
two months bencc.
Beckett, freshman, will pitch. He is
one of the possibilities for the Varsity
box, which is the only place that Stanford
is not strong in at the opening of the sea-
son. 1t is likely, however, that Captain
Thompson will give up fielding and be
the Varsity pitcher before the season
closes, for he has had experience Us
high-school twirler and has more speed
than the others.
The Indians have played several matches
already in and about San Francisco, and
have shown considerable ability as expo
nents of the National game.
