is well rewarded by an evening

The visitor to Chinatown should
not fail to inspect the pawnshops,

things can be found. The Joss
houses, theaters and restaurants
are each worthy of visit.

HOTELS.

San Francisco is better provided
with hotels than any other City OF
its size. Among these, ranking
frst-class, are the Palace, the
largest in the World, costing. in.
Guiding equipment and furniture,
$1,000 900; California, Lick, Occi-
dental and Grand Hotel CONNECTED
by bridge with the Palace and
operated in conjunction with it;
besides family Boarding Houses
which rank, in point Of service and
conveniences with the hotels.
The Public Schools OF San Fran
cisco have an average daily attend
ance of $4,000 pupils and employ
oo4 teachers. No more efficient
system of education can be found
in the United States than those
which obtain in San Francisco, a
graduate of the High School being
admitted to the University without
examination. With the public
schools, there are several academies
whose efficiency OF instruction is
rewarded by accreditation to the
University.
Besides the Commercial High
School, conducted by the School
Department, there are several pri-
vate Business Colleges where a
thorough commercial instruction
NAV be had. The Cogswell Poly
technical College and St. Francis
Technical School provide educa-
ton in the Mechanical Arts and
Sciences, including facilities for ac-
quiring instruction in practical
electricity.
There are nine Public Libraries,
the Free Public Library in the City
Hall, containing $1,000 volumes;
the Mercantile on Van Ness and
Golden Gate Avs, $1,000 volumes;
Odd Fellows, in their own build
ing, Seventh and Market Sts., A.
600 volumes; Mechanics Institute
on Post St. near Kearny, 10000
volumes the Law Library, $4,000
volumes. Among private libraries,
the most important is that of the
late Hon. Adolph Sutro mot yet
open to the public, containing S.
600 volumes, and a large collection
of rare works of art.

On the Unfair List.

On the 27th of January, 1899, the
Detroit Cigar Co. reduced prices one
dollar per thousand, involving abou;
forty of our members. The facts are
as follows: This firm was the prime
mover in our last big strike which
proved so disastrous to the union and
members involved. Now, when we are
working under one of the lowest bills
of prices in the country, this firm
would reduce us still lower and selects
the worst month in the year when
everybody wants work and money.
What we would ask you to do, is to re-
fer this to your label committee or to
your executive board that they may
ascertain if any of the cigars manufac-
tured by this firm, are sold in your
city, and if so, we would ask you to
deal with them accordingly. 81
We ask no money, but for your help
in our behalf in your locality.
Hoping to hear from you,
We remain yours fraternally,

The merchants and business men
of Duluth should favor trade unions.
It is strange that any one of them
will lend his assistance to break or
ganized labor. When working man
gets dollar a. day he cannot possibly
be a two-dollar customer at the gro
Gerry store, the dry goods store, tn"
shoe store or any other place of busi-
ness. High wages help the merchant
every time. Trade unions tend to
raise wages, and therefore make the
mechanic and laborer a better GUS
toner. Trade unions also have a ten
dency to materially shorten the hours
OF. labor, thereby giving employment
to larger number Of operators. The
man of business who fails to realize
the truth of these assertions is behind
the times and should read up. Long
hours and small wages are among the
causes of panics and hard times. The
trade union is undoubtedly opposed to
10th these evils. The me1 chant who
expects to do a good business on a
starvation rate of business is on a
par with the farmer who would ex-
pect a good crop without planting any
seed. Intelligent storekeepers are be-
ginning to realize that the question Of
their prosperity is bound in the well
fare of the wage-earning class. What
ever will advance the welfare of the
one will just as certainly advance the
welfare of the other also. Merchants
and business men who are antagonis-
tic to the trade union movement are
antagonistic to their own best inter-
ests. There is no theory or sentiment
about this: it is straight out matter:
of fact. Just think it out, you who
are. interested. Don't forget that iii
localities where labor is well organ
lied wages are always higher than in
those places where it is poorly organ
lied. Which class would you prefer
to do business with? Candidly, now,
it doesn't need a sledge hammer to
drive this home, does it? 3
