any good reason why woman should

less woman for doing so? Al shy and

LABOR UNION THIEF FINED $50.
Kept Money That Was Contributed for the
Striking Coal Miners.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July lo--Harry
Saunders, business agent OF the San Fran
cisco Building Trades Council. who was
ment in pocketing money donated by the
local union for the striking coal miners
of Pennsylvania, who were then dependent
for their bread on such contributions, was
fined $50 yesterday, and p. H. Mccarthy,
president OF the Building Trades Council,
and its secretary, paid the fine. 1t was
expected that Police Judge Fritz would
send the convicted man to Jail, but he
weakened.
It was proved clearly that the Cornice
Workers Union gave last August SIS to
the striking coal miners. Secretary Allen
Of the union took the money to the Building
Trades Council, but found the secretary
out. Saunders, who was In the office, said
he would receipt for the money and turn
ceipt, but pocketed the cash.
The truth would never have come out
but Allen, learning that tho miners had
sent Acknowledgements to other unions,
wrote and discovered that the Cornice
Workers small gift had never been re-
ceived. Allen had Saunders arrested, but
the latter denied receiving the money
though his receipt was produced. His
lawyers tried TO show that he wasn't the
agent and therefore could not have en-
bezzled the money. but this did not suc-
ceed
Despite Saunders's theft and his lies in
trying TO shift the responsibility, the Build
ing Trades Council still retains him as an
officer Mccarthy, who helped to screen
him, ia head OF the Board Of Public Works
and Of the Health Board.

Contractors Protest Against Calkers' Bad
Faith Shelved by tho e. r. L.
The Subway contractors, evidently e1-
pecting that the Central Federated Union
would take drastic action in the case of the
Pipe Calkers' Union, which has ordered
a strike in the Subway in violation of the
agreement its delegates signed with other
c. F. U, committeeman, sent letter TO the
C. F. U. yesterday pointing out the viola
ton Of the agreement by the strike But
there was a new man. Michael Breyer of
the Cloth Spongers' Union, In the c. r. u.
chair, instead OF James Holland, who has
declared several times that the c. y. u.
would stand for no violations Of the agree
Inent. The result was that the organization
did nothing to stop the strike.
When the letter was read Dennis Quinlan
of the Pipe Calkers said he wanted 20
make an explanation, bur he had hardly
got out two sentences when Delegate
McVey of the Piano Varnishers moved that
the letter be referred to the Pipe Calkers
Union. This meant shelving the whole
business and some delegates looked dis
gusted but nobody made protest.
Delegate Martin OF the Team Drivers,
declared that Major McNulty had nom
union men employed on his section of the
subway, and that when he told Major
McNulty about ii the Major commended
his truthfulness Martin went on to say
that If the contractors broke the agree
ment there was no reason why the c. F. u.
should keep it.
why don't you tell the whole truth ?"
asked James p. Archibald who ia on the
Rapid Transit Committee. "You know
perfectly well you are not telling the truth I"
The whole matter was finally left in the

before Magistrate Crane in the Harlem
police court yesterday on charge of grand
larceny, preferred by Frederick II. Ives,
vice-presdent Of the Hamilton Bank at
2l5 West l25th street.
Masterson was arrested on Saturday
afternoon in the law offices Of Kellogg 4
Rose, at l20 Broadway, by Court Police
man Jeremiah Hamilton. Masterson was
held for examination at 2 O'Clock this afver-
noon in $500 bail
The specific charge against Mastereon
is that he fraudulently obtained $500 from
the Hamilton Bank on June 3. Masterson
had a small account with the bank and
on that date he went to the bank and de-
posted check for 81 $50 on the Lincoln
Bank made payable TO him and signed by
II Cattle. Mastersou on the same day ia
sued check TO q. Cattle for 81 ,l25 on the

by the Hamilton Bank through the regular
way, before the bank learned that the
check for 81 $50 issued by Cattle TO Master
son was worthless.
The Hamilton Bank put the matter in the
hands of its lawyers, Blandy, Mooney &
Shipman, who al once communicated with
Masterson. The latter said he would make
up the shortage to the Hamilton Bank
and few days later did deposit 500. The
bank waited in vain for Masterson to make
up the balance, and then Lawyer Blandy
got a warrant for his arrest.
Policeman Hamilton learned that Master
son might be found at kollogg's Office, and
went there, asking to pee Masterson on
an important business matter.
Mr.. Petit. who was in charge of the office,
went into another room and returned
with Masterson. When Mr.. Petit learned
that Hamilton was a policeman he became
very angry.
Masterson told Hamilton that LAWYER +.
Latin Kellogg was his attorney and that
he had half expected to be arrested but
that matters would be Strengthened ont
Masterson was unable to secure bail yes
terday and was locked up in the Harlem
prison.

! agreement. The question OF fixing time
limit when all work must be resumed
Internationally. as far as the unions which
( have not signed the agreement are con-
] oerned, was to have come up, but as the
shutdown seems to DO settling itself it Is
thought that no action will be taken on this
point.
1t was stated unofiicially yesterday that
the demand made by the plasterers on
behalf OF the laborers for their old wages
OF 93.2S a day has been conceded, but that
there are other conditions which may have
to be arranged. The full agreement will
probably be made public to-day.
One peculiar feature Of the case Ia that
the plasterers' laborers. with 1925 day,
are accepting rs cents a day less than the
employers where willing to pay before the
shutdown took place. The laborers struck
for g so a day, which the employers granted,
but as the plasterers were expecting to re-
ceive $3.50 a day the laborers refused to
sign an agreement with the intention,
apparently. Of being in position to make
further demand. The employers refused
to grant the demand without an ayreement
and the strike continued
The Board OF Building Trades at its meet
ing this afternoon is likely to expel the
Brotherhood of Carpenters, all the locals
OF which have signed the arbitration agree
ment. Three locals of the Brotherhood Of
Painters have also decided to adopt the
agreement and the others are expected to
take the same action at meetings to-day
and Tomorrow. II was admitted yesterday
by the delegates Of several Of the unions
that the Parks faction Of the Housesmiths'
Union ia now the only stumbling block
in the way OF the other unions coming into
line.
James P. Archibald, business agent Of the
Brotherhood Of Painters, said yesterday:
AS the employers have apparently elimi
mated the ultimatum feature Of the arbitra-
ton agreement any union leader who tries
TO fight against il and keep his union from
accepting It must be either fool or a
knave. He is acting against the interests
of his union and the logical result will be
that his union will become disorganized
Workmen cannot remain out indefinitely,
