city solicitor at the first ses-
sion after the judgments shall
become payable; and "if there shall be
no funds in the treasury provided for

makes it mandatory that councils shall
devote to the payment of these debts
any city funds not otherwise appro-
priated.
In the present state of the city's
finances, this provision has a double
interest. 1t prevents the piling up of
accumulated debt and it strongly en-
phasizes the need of the most careful
economy in starting the new munici-
pal machinery. If, from the begin
ming Of the new regime on April for

would yet be in prospect for 1902 a tax
levy sufficiently increased over the
present levy to wipe out all outstand-

percentage of increase this should re-
quirc is matter of conjecture largely,
there being to date no clear estimate
of the total unpaid indebtedness of
this class. An increase of 20 per cent
might cover it and it might require an
Increase of 50 per cent or more. The
one sure thing is that taxes at the
best will be largely increased; not per-

Of the greater cost of running a second

THE STEEL WORKERS.

The steel strike and it's attendant COM
Zola's latest novel called Labor where
in the laborer selected by the author
to be a typical workingman of the pres
ent day is a worker in steel and iron.
The descriptions contained in this re-
marNable book of the present-day system
of labor depict it at it's worst it is
true, but they haunt one and bring home
a realizing sense of what the hardest fac
tory life really is and how it affects the
men in body and soul. For instance
this description of a workman employed
at the terrible task of emptying cruci-
bles: ''He was pallid and withered with
a face like leather, but he had preserv-
ed his legs and arms, which were those
of Hercules. He was physically de-
formed by his terrible work, but he suf-
fered more from the consciousness that
he was losing his intelligence, that he
had become a veritable machine, doing
eternally the same thing. AS a human
element struggling for supremacy with
fire there was but one thing that
he now craved, he had but one pleasure
that was drink to drink that the
furnace might not burn up his calcined
skin like rotten bark The book is full
of such marvellous revelations of the
state of the laboring man in France,
where his lot is far worse than it is here,
and ends with powerful portrayal of
Ideal labor conditions.

THE SIN FRANCISCO STRIKE.

The sympathetic strike which was in
augurated in San Francisco three months
ago, has at last blossomed out into the
usual flower, riot and bloodshed This
strike. a full account of which was Civ.
en- in the columns of the G. lobe a few
weeks ago, was inaugurated by the Team
sters union which attempted to control
the situation by refusing to work with
non-union men, and later to drive all
Eon-union men out of business by de-
Claring boycott on everybody employ
ing them. Into this most foolish strike
was drawn the Packers and Porters' I'M
ions, the various unions handling freight
at the wharves together with the marine
engineers.
In this whole affair there was no pre-
tense of a grievance. Many of the I'M
ions. especially those connected with dock
work, were under contract Nevertheless
they adopted the tactics of Shaffer of the
Amalgamated and repudiated their con-
tracts for the purpose of assisting the
teamsters in their attempt to force the
non-urion men into the union or out of
business.
So glaringly unjust was this strike, that
it not only was denied public sympathy,
but the business men organized to protect
themselves and their business from the
ordered boycott. NOn-union men were
imported and everything done to defeat
the strikers. This has been practically
done. A steamship company has brought
suit against the organization which broke
its contracts, for the purpose of testing
the law and to determine whether or
not labor union has any standing in
the business world. If it has not, en-
ployers will refuse to recognize them
hereafter. If they are artificial persons
in the meaning of the law, then they
must be prepared to answer in damages
for breach of contract The recent out
break viii force matters to a head.
The effect of this San Francisco strike
and that of the Amalgamated, now hap
PLY concluded, has demonstrated The
fact that the unions cannot expect to
dominate the industrial world They
have tried it and failed. The issues were
clearly drawn; there was no pretext of
srievance-nothing but an avowed de-
Sire to rule the roost. Considering the
kind of men who dominate the unions
the public is to be congratulated that
the effort to rule or ruin failed so COM
pletely
