SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4-After de-
handing an Increase of wages, which was
not granted, the San Francisco newspaper
piessznen To-Day declared a strike The
men employed on the Post and Bulletin de-
ciiaed 10 quit work, but the pressmen on
the Report walked out and for time it
looked as IL the strikers might win at
least a partial victory. All the newspaper
proprietors, however, acted In concert and
the Post and Bulletin were rot issued until
the Report was printed. This was possible
by the Bulletin casting and stereotyping
one OF the Examiner presses. None of the
evening papers sent out early editions. but
all appeared simultaneously at about s
o'clock.
II is understood that the Chronicle press
men will continue at work and thai a num-
Der OF the Call and Examiner forces will
refuse to obey the order TO strike so that
the morning papers will not be seriously
embarrassed.
The dissatisfied pressnen have submitted
a scale OF wages. which, IL accepted by
their employers, would increase the ex-
penses OF the Offices by about $40 Coz and
they demand 81 day for pressmen and So -
for helpers, instead OF SIS week for press
en- and sl2 and SIS week for helpers the
assistant foremen now vary from si5 to $50

ployed in the press rooms. The Publishers

LEWIS DROPS HIS WAR TALK.
Instead He Rehashes Some OF His
other State ISLANDERS.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer
WHACOM, Nov. a.-James Hamilton
Lewis made an address here tonight to
crowded house. Most OF the audience were
Republicans who came to hear his anti
administration talk, but he disappointed
them and chose other themes. His cam
administration OF the war has been side
tracked but its falsshoods have been re-
paced by just as glaring Measurements.
He outlined the present campaign as the
fight Of the people against the favored few.
and then branched off, making the re-
markable statement that Secretary Gage
colt commission landed at Liverpool that
the American people desired the defeat OK
its mission.
Then he stated without any reservation
that the II. II. Hanna monetary commits
sion had received 500 900 from congress TO
pay lis expenses while II was at work for
mulatlng measure that usnrped the rights
the Hanna committee had actually passed
a financial measure which was now Law
and which congress was powerless TO annul.
and he drew startling contrast between
the Hanna commission and the council OF
ten in Venice
The presumption OF ignorance on the part
OF his audience was nphasizee. by the facl
that be accused the bankers convention OF
having an anti-exemption clause put in the
state Republican platform. and said their
efslssary came 10 Tacoma with IL written
just as II went In.
Then he accused f. X. Schoonmaker or
being the emissary Of Mark Hanna to force
tire god standard plank on the Washington
Republicans, and he exp aimed Just how Mr..
Hanna sent Mr.. Schoonmaker out here 10
