SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-THE
transport Grant is to sail tomorrow
afternoon for Manila and in addition to
her contingent of soldiers will carry
mail for Japan and China.
The Glenogle is now at Mission-street
wharf, but considerable work has to be
done on her before she will be ready
to carry troops to Manila Her smoke
stack has been painted yellow and the
red white and blue bands of the trans
port service painted on it. In conse-
quence the machinists, boilermakers,
painters and carpenters claim that she
is a Government boat and refuse to-
work more than eight hours a day.
The Risdon Iron Works has the con-
tract and it claims the Glenogle is a
private job and in consequence there is
hitch that may end in a strike.
The boilermakers have hitherto been
working nine hours on ship work and
getting paid for ten hours. Now they
demand an eight-hour day with ten
hours pay. Under the old rules. for
eleven hours night work, they got
twenty-four hours pay, but now they
insist upon twenty-six hours pay for
the same amount of work AS an ex-
ample of the manner in which the new
schedule will work. one of the boiler
makers received for his last weeks
work sixteen and a half days pay at
$3.50 day.
The machinists are asking for an
eight-hour day and double time for
night work and Sunday and holiday
work.
The painters have organized a union
and will ask that no man be employed
on a Government transport who does
not know how to mix paint. An eight
hour day will also be insisted upon and
the pay is to be raised to So q day.
The carpenters will be satisfied with
an eight-hour day and double pay for
overtime.

Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, is mystery TO u.s. We some
times think be is real mad and then
again unusually clever. Some Of the
keenest thrusts against trusts are made
by him and some of the most stalwart
blows. Listen as he says:
"That the growth of trusts in this
country is destroying all incentives 20
individual enterprise and putting all
power, industrially, i'm the hands of
the multi-millionaires.
Ingenious and industrious men of
moderate means, whether manulactur-
ers or traders, are being crushed out by
theenOrmOus monOpOies. The brightest
and best business men i'm the country
are rapidly being forced TO become
mere salaried employees Interpretations
with immense capital. The effect of
such an industrial system is deteriora-
ton in society as whole"
That's the truth and nothing but
the truth, but not the whole of il ON
the important subject. To this point
the Senator is sane, but when he sug
gests a remedy, he is absolutely mad,
for he boldly says that the hope, for
the country is in the Republican party.
Good Lord deliver us. I'm the same
article, which was addressed by him
to the New York World, he admits
that the trusts of the land are in the
control of Republicans, and he knows
that no such monster ever cursed the
land until the Republican party was
born, and yet the father is TO Kill its
offspring and the mother starve its
child. Hanna hurt a combine? Al
ger beat beef trust? Mckinley sting
the breast that warmed him into pres
idential life? The man who thinks so
is a fool. No, the parent-monster
must tirst 90, and then the tirst-born |
and hideous child may be made to go |
too. Just so sure a. that the hog re-
turns to his wallowing i'm the mire |
