to bring about a state of affairs suitable
to the residents of the district. Congress-
man Loud has promised to see to the bet

Richmond people want something quicker
than the Postoffice Department is able to
provide. They want a telegraph office.
With this end in view the Point Lobos
Improvement Club addressed an appeal to
the Pacific Postal and Western Union
Telegraph companies. The Postal Com
pany declined to consider the proposition

used to transmit telegraphic messages to
the telegraph companys headquarters
and that the company would be pleased
to repeat, over the telephone, any mes
sages received. The company could not
afford. however, to establish a branch
office.
The Western Union, however submit

company will not pay the operator any
salary but promises to- maintain the Of

Richmond District expects to place itself

WILL ATTACK
PRIMARY LAW
Republican Bosses to In
stitute a Test
Case.
State Machine Hopes New
Act Will Be Declared
Unconstitutional
Special Dispatch to The Call.


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.-Attempt Is to
be made to overthrow the primary law
enacted by the Legislature last winter,
and the powers supporting the movement
are leaders in the Republican State ma
chine. The details of the plan are not
being disclosed but it is learned that the
new law is to be taken before the Su-
preme Court to test its validity. Should
the new act be declared constitutional,
1t may be years before California will
have one similar in its intended effects.
The Supreme Court has overthrown three
primary acts, and the late Stephen M.
White once remarked that by the terms
OF the existing State constitution cali
fornia could never enact a. primary law
that the Supreme Court would not de-
clare to be imperative.
Senator Robert Bulla, discussing this
subject to-day, said that If the boss ele-
ment in the Republican party. sought to
do away with the primary law, the peo-
pie of California never would forgive the
leaders of that faction. Any suit aimed
at the existing statute would be defended
by counsel specially employed for the
purpose.
State Senator Thomas Flint Jr. left to-
day for Mexico more than satisfied with
the results of his trip south. The Sena-
tor had q rousing reception yesterday at
the Soldiers Home. 1t was his first visit
to that institution. His lieutenants in the
south, among whom are ex-senator Rob
ert N. Bulla, Thomas Hughes, Arthur W
Kinney and Robert B. Wade, are well
pleased with the impression Flint has
made by his weeks canvass through Los
Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and
Orange counties.
Senator Caldwell of Riverside. who is
in Los Angeles, has advised Senator Flint
that his county is solid for the anti-ma-
chine candidate and declares that Sena-
tor Flint has won q host of doubters dur
ing his recent visit in Riverside County.

MINERS WILL STRIKE.
CONCESSIONS WERE MADE
BY the Employees on the 1900 Agree
ment, But h Two Sides Could
Not Come to Terms-Counties of
Belmont, Jefferson, and a Part of
Harrison Are Affected by h
Failure to Agree.

The conference between the miners
n operators of the southern division
OF sub-district No. 5, which was held
in this city yesterday, proved fruitless.
n first meeting was held in Bridge
port in the morning, and later the two
sides got together in the Office of Pat
rick McBryde, in the Peabody building.
There were several points upon which
there was a radical difference of opin-
ion, but the details of the conference
were not given out for publication.
An effort was made to see Mr.. Nc
Bryde at the Stamm Hotel last night,
but he returned to his room, leaving
word that he had nothing to say to
newspapermen. The conference was
the third which has been held respect
ing the agreement for 1901. The mines
in the sub-district have been running
under a truce which expires this week.
The representatives of the miners
made the point in the conference that
in all the joint meetings held through
out the country the miners have secur-
ed more advantageous terms than last
year. The old agreement would not be
accepted by the operators. The miners
agreed to make some concessions, but
did not go far enough to suit the opera
tors. Just what the principal point OF
contention was could not be learned.
When it became apparent that an agree
ment could not be reached the motion
to adjourn was made by the operators.
AS a result of the failure to agree
about 1900 miners will strike next
Monday. The district affected embraces
Belmont and Jefferson counties, and a
portion of Harrison county.
One of the representatives of the min
ers said after the meeting that the re-
sponsibility for the failure to agree
rests upon the operators. The miners
in several places were notified by phone
last night, and notice will be served
Upon others to-day.
