A FEW more union 1ongshoremen
~ went to work yesterday and
~ quite number Of sailors were
Il N shipped on board coastwise ves-
sells, but the men that walked
out eleven weeks ago will have quite a
little waiting to do before they find pay
day the regular and substantial institu-
tion it was before the strike.
For marine f1remen there is little de-
mand. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany, with which the firemen broke their
contract, is the only line of any conse-
quence that employed union fremen ex-
clusively and for the present the Pacific
Coast steamers are fully equipped in this
respect. In addition to the union firemen
now on the beach there is a number of
firemen who, while not members of the
union, were paid by the union to refrain
from working during the strike. These
men and the men at present employed
will have equal chances with the union
men for such vacancies as present them
selves.
This condition of affairs and their in
ability to secure immediate work caused
the union firemen. They called meet
ing yesterday morning and it took all the
persuasive powers of the strike leaders to
induce them to keep faith with the terms
of the settlement.
The boarding houses established on the
various docks will probably be abandoned

ion men will probably be engaged upon
application this morning to work at dis
charging the Umatilla- The Mariposa,
which arrives on the 9Th, and the Ala
media, which sails October IL, will afford
openings for the return to work of
number of union men. There will also be
work for some of them on the Pacific
Mail dock during next week.
Those union men that have gone to work
have been given to understand clearly
that no hazing Of non-union laborers will
be tolerated. The Pacific Coast Com
pany took back several union coal team
sters. All of them were told plainly that
any interference, by act word, with
their non-union fellow workers would be
considered cause for instant dismissal.
G. A. McPhee, the lumber stevedore,
yesterday discharged a union longshore-
man for attempting to put a non-union
man out of business with a piece of scant-
ling. The union man, a big scantling in
his hand, rushed across the wharf and in
stead of piling lumber in the proper place
threw 1t with considerable violence to-
ward where a non-union man was work
ing. The non-union man saved himself
broken leg by jumping McPhee witness
ed the incident and discharged the union
man on the spot.
Andrew Furuseth said yesterday that
things were going as we'll as could be ex-
pected; that quite number Of union sail
ors had been shipped, and that the pros
poets were good for finding work for all

Highly Honored by the Association

L. P. Bolander, president Of the San
Francisco Planning Mills Association, was
rendered a banquet by members Of the as
sociation last evening at the California
Hotel.
Bolander is credited with having ac-
complished splendid work in adjusting the
the mill hands employed by them. Soon
after the strike he used every effort to
cause q better feeling to exist between
employer and employe in this branch of
industry and he succeeded to a marked
degree.
Andrew Wilkie acted as chairman at the
banquet. During the repast Mr.. Bolander
was presented with handsome silver SER
vice by the members of the association

LoNGSHoREMEN IN LINE.
Strike Leaders Pour Oil on Ruffled
Waters

The strike leaders now believe that they
have got all the water front unions in
line with the terms of the settlement.
The longshoremen met last night at the
sailors headquarters on East street.
From the dissatisfaction openly expressed
by members of the union since peace was
declared fears were entertained that this
organiza ton would break away from the
federation and the peace compact.
Andrew FuruSeth and Rev. Peter G.
Yorke talked to the men at some length
and succeeded in persuadng them that
the settlement for their own best in
terests. When the meeting adjourned the
men dispersed to their homes apparently
well satisfied that within a week or so
they would all be back at work again.
With all the unions in line, the leaders
now express themselves as confident of
speedy return to the old conditions.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES Of Labor Coun-
Gil Recommends That Course.
The San Francisco Labor Council met
in executive session last night and for
several hours considered the report of the
executive committee recommending the
raising of the boycott previously declared
on account of conditions growing out of
the strike.
The recommendation met with some op-
position by certain delegates, who advised
that action be deferred until all the final
arrangements in the matter Of the settle
ment of the strike were completed a
motion to postpone action until the next
meeting prevailed.
Various reports of delegates tending to
show that the local unions were in SYM
pathy with the machinists in their strike
for nine hours we're received.
The announcement was made that a pic
mic would be held at Shell Mound Park
on October 20, the proceeds to be devoted
to the machinists strike fund.

ing on the Dsmaaa IN
Five Years.

Pelking, May 1O.-An indemnity
claim of 100000, 900 taels was pre-
sented to the Chinese plenipotentiar-
les Thursday evening. Official Chi
nese throughout the empire have
been communicating with the court
nnd giving advice. Most of them
seem to favor a loan guaranteed by
the foreign powers. Others, prom
inent among whom is Chang Chi
Tung, believes in raising the money
in every possible way without loan,
and in paying off the entire demand
within five years.
The court has considered the
methods of raising twenty millions
extra annually and Professionally ap-
proves ;he plan; but the Chinese
pl potentiarics have instructions
to obtain a reduction of the indemnity
demanded as far as possible.
Whatever the final demands of the
powers may be, il is not believed
that the opposition will be much
more than a matter of form. The
ministers of the powers met Thurs
day morning and decided that the
Chinese should be given to under
stand thoroughly that the amount
did not constitute the claim, but
was the total of the expenses, in
Guiding private claims, considered
fair, and was meant more to obtain
an opinion from official sources as
to Chinas ability to pay, and also
as to what means she would employ.
Berlin, May 11.-Referring to
China's offer to open the whole coun-
try to the trade of the world, pro-
vided the indemnity claims are rs-
duced, a high German official said 10
a press representatives: ut is not
opportune to discuss now reduction
of the indemnities in exchange for
an open-door in China. So far as
Germany is concerned her claim rep
resents her actual expenditure up to
May; but all claims must be reduced
if it should appear that China is
unable to pay.
''An open door to the trade of the
world might facilitate a reduction;
but any theoretical declara ton on
that subject by China is of question
able value practically, because China
is unable to quell hostility to for
eigners in sections hitherto unopened

Sunday made the definite announces
ment that the Pennsylvania railroad
is back of the company's scheme to
build bridge from Hoboken to Man
haitian.
He said that contracts were now
being negotiated between the bridge
company and the various railroad
companies whose traffic will be &C
commodated by the bridge.
A. soon as these could be executed,
he said, work on the structure would
be commenced. It is estimated that
the bridge can be completed within
four years.
The bridge Is to be only for the
transportation Of passengers, and the
plan involves the erection of an
enormous terminal, bounded by Sixth
and Seventh avenues, Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-eighth streets. The
bridge will be the largest in the
world. There will be 1e tracks for
railroad trains, and the strength OF
the structure will be such that they
can be run at full speed.
Above them will be trolley tracks.
driveways, bicycle paths and foot
ways.
The estimated cost of the bridge
with it's approaches and the pas
