TO DO AWAY WITH STRIKES.
Features of 9 Plan of Trade Combina-
 tiCIs Proposed in Great Britain

! Washington, June 12.-A report on a
 new tr9des movement in Great Brit
 ain las been made by Commercial Agent Griffin, stationed at limoges, to
 the state department. He says:
 The untold evils wrought by the en-
 gineers' strike in 1897, by which hund- reds of thousands of innocent people suffered, several manufacturers were ruined, many millions sterling in the form of wages and profits were driven from their natural currents, and some
 industries were transplanted in for
 eign lands, especially in Belgium,
 Germany and the United States; the distressing coal strike in South Wales which resulted in disaster to all con- csrnod-these and other troubles have emphasized the question which has been before the public for SC long a time, viz: Is there not some means Of cooperation by which the inter- ests of the employer and the employees may be united, by which these disas- tr0us strikes, so fatal not only tc indi- vidual comfort, interest and happiness. but to industry and commercial sue cess, may be prevented?
 MT. E. J. Smith, the originator of this com bbinatiOn movement. has been a successful manufacturer for several years in Birmingham; he has held the different positions of employe, trave.- CT, salesman and manufacturer in his trade and has gained knowledge from experience. He has brought to the front a system which is recognized by students in Great Britain, Germany, Norway and Sweden as containing pos sibilities Of better results than any other scheme So far devised.
 The initial work to be undertaken when a trade proposes to form an al liance is to ascertain most carefully and conolusively the actual cost cf production. In certain industries where there is a great daaI oof nitric acy in the manipulation of the raw materials and the manufactured article 1t requires considerable scientific knowledge and patient work to ascer- tain costs
 10 prevent manufacturing being carried on at a pecuniary less a mini mum scale is adopted. A representa- tive article, like a certain pattern of bedstead or one dozen plates Of 9 given size and shape, is taken as 2 basis to ascertain how much it costs to manu- f3cture; the manufacturers agree on the minimum rate at which it can be made; then a certain percentage is added fer profits and this forms the minimum selling price for that article. The manufacturers bind themselves by the rules Of the alliance, not to sell without the consent Of the alliance, be,ow this minimum price, To the workmen are also offered certain inter ests in the success of the business. and both Farties being mutually depend ent, there is no occasion for strikes. lock-cuts or trade disputes

"A BENCH WARRANT ISSUED
INVESTIGATING PURCHASES OF
CITY SUPPLIES.

The Grand Jury indicted Patrolman
Cassius NJ. Blackman at it's meeting yes
terday afternoon. The inquisitorial body
has taken action in a number of minor
cases. but up to the present time has not
attacked large game, although the mem
bers are not slow to say there is much
IN the affairs of the city that needs prob
ing. Blackman, who was a policeman on
duty in the Mission, is accused of the
robbing Of a miner named Cornelius
Cronin from Nevada.
Testimony in the case was taken last
week, when a number of witnesses were
heard. The Police Department is anxious
to apprehend Blackman and have him
punished, as his conduct was a reflection
on the reputable men of the force. The
indictment was placed on the secret file
in Judge Daingerfeld's court and bench
warrant issued Immediately.
H. M Black, acting chairman OF the
Committee on Mayor, City Hall Comn1is-
sioners and Board of Supervisors, has in
Stituted an inquiry into the supplying OF
material to the various departments of
the city. 1t has been found that the mu-
nicipality is paying about one-third more
for it's material than would a private in
dividual. Again certain favored firms are
permitted to supply the city with articles
which they do not ordinarily handle. Thus
a hardware firm supplies plumbing ma
terials which it does not keep in stock
but which it must. go outside and pur-
chase and for which it charges an extra
price.
An effort will also be made by the COM
mittee to fix the responsibility for the
present condition of the City Hall. The
City Hall Commissioners have turned the
big building over to the Supervisors, the
funds in their charge being exhausted.
The Supervisors decline to receive the
building on the ground that the board has
no money to spend. Between the two the
building it is declared, is being neglected
and needed repairs are left undone. Chair
man Black has expressed himself strongly
In the matter. and with the aid of his
colleagues expects to work reform in
the matter.
When the jury met yesterday resolu-
ton of confidence in Assistant District
Attorney Black was passed by unanimous
vote. This was brought out by a story
printed in a local paper last Saturday,
in which Attorney Black was charged
with having given misleading information
to the jurymen regarding it's powers in
probing into the affairs of the School De-
partment. The resolution reads:
The Grand Jury desires to express its
deep regret at the attack on Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Black in a late newspaper
report of the Grand Jury proceedings. 1t
disowns any responsibility for the refec-
tion on him, which 1t considers unjust. 1t
desires TO express it's complete confidence in
his integrity and worth a public official.

show that she was at daggers' points
with Wilson Gray. the father Of the child,
and will depend on this man to prove that
she had threatened to make away with
the fruit OF their unlawful relations. They
will introduce evidence to show that it
would have been next to impossible for
the child to have voluntarily swallowed
the quantity of the caustic fluid which
the autopsy disclosed to have been taken
into it's stomach. They will try to make
capital out of the discrepancies in the
statements of the accused woman and her
10-year-old brother, Harrison Tyrrell, in
regard to the finding of the flask contain
ing the poison in the vacant lot IN the
rear of the humble home on Parker ave-
nue. and of its being carelessly thrown
into the back yard where it is alleged to
have been picked up by the baby.
They will also introduce evidence in
support Of their contention that Mrs.
Adams took the child into the clubhouse
and forced the burning poison down its
throat This evidence will consist of the
testimony of Chemist Green of the Board
of Health, who will go on the stand and
swear that the boards torn from the floor
in the Clubhouse by the detectives and
submitted TO him for analysis were sat
urated with carbolic acid.
But the last and most important evil
dence against the woman will be the tes-
timony of officer John p. Herlihy, who
will swear that he saw Mrs. Adams come
out of Loehr's drug store, at the corner
of DeVisadero and Geary streets, at S:45
Sunday night, tear the label from bot
tie and board a car going in the direc-
tIon of her home. The officers testimony
will be corroborated, in so far as it relates
to the purchase of poison by a woman
at the hour mentioned, by Drug Clerk
George Purlenky.
This is the case of the detectives. and
while 1t appears convincing it has it's
weak points. Herlihy and the clerk both
saw the woman who purchased the acid
at Loehr's on Sunday night and whose
peculiar actions while standing on the
corner waiting for q car attracted the at
tention of the officer wore a black cape
of some woolly material trimmed with
fur. Mrs Kelly, the mother of Mrs. Ad-
ANS said yesterday that her daughter
had not owned a cape for at least t1ve
years Moreover the neighbors of III
barker avenue say they never saw Mrs.
Adams wear a cape of any description.
No one in the vicinity OF the Tyrrell house
saw Mrs. Adams going or returning on
Sunday night. Her father and grown
brothers say she was in the house all the
evening. or at least until! they retired,
about 3 o'clock. although, she was not IN

Williams ESCAPES Punishment.

After coqueting with the ponderous and
unwieldy machinery of the law for more
than two years, Richard S. Williams,
twice convicted of fraud in the Chinese
bureau, has escaped punishment.
His case was called Wednesday morning
in the United States District Court for
its third trial, and Assistant United
States Attorney Banning announced that
Chin Deuck, an indispensable witness for
the Government had disappeared and
that without his testimony a conviction
would be impossible. Mr.. Banning ex-
pressed the belief that Deuck had gone
to China, and if that were true it would
be useless to ask for a postponement. He
therefore moved, on the written request
of United States Attorney Foote, that a
nolle prosequi be entered and the prisoner
discharged.
Judge de Haven granted the motion,

crying at the foot of the steps in the
rear of the house, so she says. All evil
dence obtainable on the subject goes to
show the accused woman dearly loved the
child she is accused of poisoning, and the
only possible motive for the crime is that
advanced by her accuser, Wilson Gray,
the childs father. Gray's testimony, un-
less substantiated by other evidence, will
have little weight with jury The
woman is bad, and disgusting in her man

that she is any worse than her accuser
and former companion In the meantime
she is entitled to the benefit of any doubt
as to her guilt that may exist.

THE LAW WILL BE OBSERVED.
Ingleside Coursing Club Will Run on
Sunday, but No Pools Will
Be Sold.

A surprisingly large gathering of leash
men and patrons of courstng was
present last evening at Pythian Castle to
hear the ultimatum of the Ingleside
Coursing Club, which was to the effect
that a meeting-probably the last-would
be held at the Ingleside Park on Sunday
Furthermore, that in accordance with an
ordinance recently passed by the super
visors in reference to horse racing and
coursing, no pool selling Of any descrip-
ton will be permitted by the club on the
grounds during the meeting.
Mr.. Shannon, the president Of the club,
stated that the organization did not pro-
pose to violate the law in any shape or
form, but owing to the face that num-
Der of dog owners had trained their
charges with the object Of running them
on Sunday, the directors decided to hold
one more meeting in the old park; but
that in future coursing cannot take place,
as the club cannot afford to offer the dog
owners sufficient financial Inducements to
meet the expenses incurred by the dog
men in training and keeping hounds in
condition for the chase.
The coursing ON Sunday will start at
II o'clock and the drawing for 1t is as fol-
