What free trade will do and has done
for a manufacturing industry is shown
by a recent melancholy article in the
London Graphic. which tells OF the
vanishing silk business OF Spitahelds,
England, once the center OF hive OF
industry in which 100000 persons were
directly or indirectly employed. In
Spitafelds today there are only about
500 weavers left poor remnant OF the
once great and prosperous community
that formerly lived and worked there.
Let the American workman compare
this sorry picture with the growth OF

NATIVE HEMP TO
Be PLANTED ON
RYERS ISLAND
Three Hundred Acres
for a Start.
INDUSTRY THAT LOOKS WELL
OTHER PLANTATIONS LIKELY
TO BE MADE.

p. Ettlinger and ]. II. Thomas OF this
city are about TO engage in the culture Of
hemp on a large scale upon Ryers Island,
in Solano County, opposite Rio Vista.
A tract Of 300 acres has been prepared for
seeding and Mr.. Ettlinger is looking for
the necessary seed. This he will probably
procure in Gridley, Butte County. where
hemp has been grown for number Of
years. Mr.. Ettlinger made the facts
known yesterday and also talked about
the prospect for cultivating California
hemp. lie said that he had been in Grid
ley and had seen the hemp growing some
time ago. He had been informed that the
raisers OF hemp in Butte County were
selling their product in the raw state TO
Eastern people and that they were able
10 sell all that they raised. This fact
made him of the opinion that the hemp
was OF a good commercial quality. HIS
nrst planting will be experimental, so far
as the commercial aspect OF the case is
concerned.
There was no question that hemp would
grow, ne said, IN almost any part OF the
state where there Is bottom land. The
soil at Gridley is of that sort Such, also,
Is the soil at Ryers Island. Some hemp
mas been grown by Mr.. Ettlinger and the
product, having been exhibited, was de-
elared TO be equal 10 anything raised in
Butte County. This additional fact has
led Mr.. Ettlinger 10 think that the
chances of failure are very small.
one question was whether the manufac-
turers OF California hemp could compete .
IN price with those of the East Accord
ing TO advices the machinery TO work up
the nber was not very complicated. Calf
iornia hemp had recently been made into
twine. bags, portieres and even a suit of
clothes. The last-named manufacture
was worn away out OF the State by W. J.
j. Cunningham Of Salem. Ore, who ex-
perimented with the jute machinery at
San Quentin Prison 10 see what he could
90 with the homegrown hemp and also
with homegrown fax. Mr. Cunnlngham's 3
conclusion was. after experimenting that
there was nothing the matter with either
California hemp or California flax In
deed. he pronounced the hemp superior to
the hemp OF Oregon. and said that there
was no better grown anywhere. Mr.. Cum
ningham was an expert and what he had
said was another reason for confidence
cunningham came down from Oregon, at
the request OF Mr.. Heaney Of Gridley TO
manage the hemp plantation on Heaney's
ranch.

LABOR OPPOSES A
WAR OF CONQUEST
Action of Committee on
Gompers' Report.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DETROIT. Dec. 19-The significant fea.
ture Of the eighth day OF the Federation
of Labor Convention was a stand taken
this afternoon in regard 20 all wars OF
conquest. The delegates. representative OF
probably 100000 members OF labor unions.
voted unanimously tnat such wars,
whether waged in Africa. the Philippines
or elsewhere" greatly endanger the liber-
ties OF the conquered peoples. The dec
laration closed with a reiteration OF SEN
timents previously adopted in another
form. that we are opposed to any in
crease OF the standing army of the United
States beyond 25,0OO officers and enlisted
men, The executive council OF the Fed
Grafton was directed 10 use every means
TO carry out these sentiments.
This and other national questions were
brought up by the reading OF the report
from the committee on President Com
pers' report. Nearly all the sections OF
that document were approved by the com
mittee. 1t agreed with Mr.. Gompers that
trusts are to be considered a natural out
come Of commercial competition, and that
the only reasonable way in which organ
lied labor can meet and overcome such
evils Is in natural way. The report ad-
vised asking for legislation not for sweep
ing the trusts away, but insisting that
they shall not have control Of the govern
mental machinery Of city and State An
amendment 10 this portion OF the report,
adopted by the convention. called upon
the trades-unions and workingmen gener-
ally 10 study the development OF trusts
and monopolies with view TO nationaIiz-
Ing them. AS 10 President GOmpers' ex-
pTessions upon "our new possessions and
militarism," the committee deplored the
ever-spreading encroachments being made
upon civil and religious liberties" which N
regarded 'as step backward In the evO-
luton or freedom, which is fraught with
great danger"
The committee stated that where the
Porto Rcans and FilipinOs are deprived OF
their right OF self-gOvernment freedom ia
IN great danger. Lovers of political and
industrial liberty were urged 10 unite In
defense OF such inalienabie rights. The
declarations made by those In authorftv
concerning forcible extension OF Territory
Ior the alleged purpose OF extending COM
mercial interests were stated to be only a
means Tor subjugatiOn OF the Inhabitants
Inc convention adopted unanimously the
committees resolution declaring against
such extensions.
The convention voted TO raise the salary
or the president from $500 10 S2lOO and ~
the secretary from $500 to 1880

Cunningham wished TO see what could be
done. He first applied TO parties in Oak
land to give him a chance TO expert
ment in manufacturing. He was not sue
cessful in enlisting cooperation in Oak
land and he then made application to the
State Board OF Trade asking that infiu-
ence might be exerted TO have the jute
machinery at the San Quentin Prison put
TO work on five bales OF California hemp
and four bales Of California fax. This
brought about the desired trial and about
one and one-half tons OF raw material was
worked up.
Messrs Ettlinger and Thomas will look
about for machinery. There is some in
this city that might possibly be used
Mr.. Ettlinger said that he had not yet
seen it. He and his associates would plant
in June. The crop will ripen in August
The State annually imports about 500
tons Of hemp twine. Fully 300 tons go into
the sewing of bags for California prod
ucts. California is probably the largest
consumer OF twine of any State In the
Union. The railroad rates upon the raw
product. eastbound. and upon the twine
manufactured in the East. westbound
may afford sufficient protection TO make
the home enterprise of manufacturing
California twine out of California hemp
profitable. The same also applies TO fax.

two hahitues OF the tenderloin. The min
sons OF the law have been ordered by Cap
f3in Whitman 10 bring tho young men al
AL hazards, as they are accused of chok-
ing and robbing a young woman named
Fannie Anderson. who lives in the Parker
House. az ll22 Market street. Miss Ander-

oerson. is the complaining witness. She
is the young woman who, on Sunday
morning last. attempted suicide by swal-
lowing laudanum. Her rash act was the
direct result OF the robbery. and that is
why the police are so anxious to appre-
hend the men who committed the crime.
Miss Anderson stated last night that she
was alone in her room on Sunday morn
iug when Haynes and McCord forced their
way into her presence and demanded
money TO continue their debauch She
said she declined their requests and or
ocred them from her apartments Both

ately left. Her cries aroused the entire
lodging house, and when the people
rushed into the room Haynes brazenly In
Anderson from the clutches OF a thief. He
then slipped out. leaving his overcoat be-
hind him.
Miss Anderson was so discouraged by
her ill-treatment that she went TO an ad-
joining apartment and swallowed the con-
tents of a bottle OF laudanum. Her cries
of pain brought assistance and she was
hurriedly sent TO the Receiving Hospital
