cessions to All Their Prin-
cipaI Demands.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The strike

complaints, and when it discovers the same
to be we'll founded will rectify any wrongs
found to exist. 1t will not, however, deal

Its own affairs with other than its own
employees or committees thereof. The COM
pany recognizes the right of every person
to belong 10 or refuse to belong to a
labor union and it will discharge no en-
ploye because of his connection with such
a union.
The company agrees to pay a fiat rate Of
20 cents an hour or 23h cents an hour,

the employees may elect. A rate of 80
