MENACE OF LABOR UNIONS TO RE-

CISCO NOTES.

San Francisco. Nov THE State and Con-
gcess election has absorbed public interest all
the week Never was there a quieter cleo
ton throughout California and yet never one
in which the people seemed to take keener
interest As was predicted in these dispatches
DR. Pardee. Republican candidate for Governor.
was elected by safe plurality, probably three
thousand. The remainder of the Republican
State ticket was also elected Governor Gage
carried San Francisco four years ago by $500
over popular Democrat. but Lane. the Demo-
cratic and union labor candidate. carried the
city this time by $3.50 plurality. For the same
reason Justice Hahn. in the WITH Congress Dis
trtct. was beaten for reelection by Edward
Ltvernash. popular idol of the labor unions
Avernash is a brilliant speaker. and his ora
tory attracted great crowds TO his meetings
He was indorsed by all the big labor unions
and the leaders Of these unions sat on the plat
form at his meetings and spoke in his favor
Tie result was that practically the entire vote
of the unions was cast not only for Livernash
but for Wynn. In the With District Congress-
man Loud despite his long service in Congress-
was beaten. mainly because he opposed an in
crease OF the pay Of letter carriers. Mr..
Coombs. Republican. in the lid District was
beaten by Bell. largely because he was over
confident. and made poor campaign.
This victory for the union labor candidates
SHOWS the new danger that menaces the Re
publican party in California. 1t was the boast
of the labor unions that politics had no place
in their organizations Now the leaders have
tasted OF power. and they using all their
sources to gain political attention and make it
tell at the polls. IL they continue to affiliate
with the Democrats they may change the po-
htical complexion of California. as the vote of
the big cities may upset the solid conservatives
In the country districts. Another menace is
that the old mining counties which We're for
merly Republican have changed. because nearly
every miner belongs TO labor union. If the
leaders of these unions had been able to keep
their followers in line in San Francisco Pardee
would have been defeated for Governor. as the
solid labor union vote would have swelled

gibson IN POSSESSION
PAYS A FINE, HOLDS THE FORT
DfHculfy With Former Wife Gets
Him Into the Municipal
Court.

Rufus K ellison chuckled inwardly as
he paid a fine OF $40 in police court this
morning He was fully convinced that,
despite the fine, he was victor in case
brought against him by Alice K. Gibson,
his divorced wife, that he had won by a
clever turn and that the complainant her
self had unwittingly contributed to his
success.
The Gilsons have just been divorced.
Pending the adjustment of matters, the
husband was placed under bonds to keep
the peace. There was some dispute, how
ever, over property at 1923 Plymouth ave.
nue., of which Mrs. ellison was in posses
sion. Mr.. ellison entered this one day
and, it is asserted by Mrs. ellison, threat
ened to injure her. April S, after the
bond had expired Mr.. ellison, in the alb
sence of Mrs ellison, took with him five
persons as witnesses and took possession
of the house. When Mrs. ellison returned
she was refused admittance. She, there
fore, began proceedings for unlawful entry
and detainer.
This morning, when the case came tt
trial, ellison, to the great surprise of Mrs
| ellison, pleaded guilty and paid his fine
Then he explained that he was still il
possession of the property, and-athat HI
was beyond the reach of the law because
| there is a provision in the constitution
that no man shall twice be placed il
| jeopardy for the same offense. He de
clares that he will hold the fort until thu
matter of the property is adjusted.

tried on the lIenneDin county roads this,

oil is plentiful and cheap, it is no longer
an experiment to use it in laying the dust

roads, but in Minnesota, where oil must
be hauled hundreds of miles at a big ex-
pe1sse the financial feature of the matter
is serious one.
Hennepin county roads in certain places

this very expensive thoroughfare. 1t will,
of course be graveled at once, but later

Mr. Cooley will, however, await the ar

BONIFACES LOSE MONEY
High Prices of Meat Cut Into Hotel
Profits.

Hotels and restaurants Of Minneapolis
have been hard hit by the advance in
meat prices. Proprietors OF hostelries
and eating houses say that the steady rise
has cut deep into their profits, and that
they are serving meats to-day either at
an actual loss or at so small profit as to
be scarcely noticeable.
Colonel Wood, of the Hotel Nicollet,
says that the hotels which pretend to set
any kind Of table nowadays are running
their din1ng-rooms at loss. There was
time when hotel dining-rooms at least paid
expenses, and occasionally netted small
profit, excepting where they are run ex-
clusively on the American plan and have
no cafe connections. The price of food
stuffs has gone up so steadily that any
hotel which prldes itself on its cuisine
necessarily stands to lose money in the
dining-room.
Restaurant proprietors have not, as has
been the case In some other cities, at
tempted to make up for the extra cost of
meat by serving smaller steaks and chops.
IF meat should jump up above five cents
at one leap said the proprietor of a
prominent restaurant, then we could
consistently lift our figures corresponding
lily and play even, il nothing more. But
when the price of meat goes up a cent or
two that leaves us no opportunity to ele-
vate our prices, for the public wouldn't
stand for it, and 1T would look cheap tC
charge a cent or two extra for a steak
And yet in the aggregate, the few cents
extra per pound amount to a whole lot
! and we paw the bill" sa
