Last night the Carmens Union is

The public should understand that all the
carmen are seeking is justice. The company
has said that IL was its desire to take the
public into its confidence on the part Of
the employees we wish they would make that
proposition TO The people must under
strike as the company. and we do want
the public TO forget this fact Our or-ganza-

and citizens of San Francisco and are
as much interested in peace and the pros
pcrity Of this city as any other citizen, but
We desire true peace and that is what has
been denied US by the railroad company up
to date.
Since the very conception of our organiza-
tion the United Railroads has sought in every
way 70 disrupt and destroy During the
past year over 500 Of members have been
forced out OF employment and in most cases
while trifling excuses have been offered, for
no other reason than they were active work
ers in our organization. While this discrim-
bership the non-union employees of the com
psny have BEEN upheld in the most fragrant
violations Of the comDanys rules. This con-
dition of affairs has forced US to ask of the
company a guarantee that this discrimination
win stop and organized rights be r.
spected. This they have refused 10 grant us
wanting us to accept the same conditions that
have prevailed during the past.
To accept this condition, judging by the
past year. would mean the destruction Of our
organization. and instead of peace would mean

SHOCKING THE SIDEWALKS.

The protest of "A Citizen" publish.
cd in yesterday mornings Bulletin
against the blocking of sidewalks on
Eighth street by sldds extending
from the business houses to wagons
was timely. Other citizens have ex
perienced the same difficulty. and OF
late the complaints seem to be be-
coming more numerous.
The Bulletin believes that the
blockading is done without the
knowledge Of the proprietors of the
establishments. and that 1t is the re-
suit OF carelessness and indifference
for the general public on the part of
wagon drivers and helpers. AS q
rule. the latter, when they are not
entirely ignorant of the rights Of
the people, have contempt for them
it seems, and they should be instruct
ed by owners OF establishments that
they must raise the skids stretching
across the walkways when pedes-
trians are DESTROYS of passing.
On drizzllng afternoon a few
days ago the writer CHANGED TO be
walking up Eighth street from Conf
mercial toward the levee. Just
ahead was lady, who, when she ar
rived at the side entrance of one Of
the establishments. was forced TO 90
out into the street in order to get
around a skid stretched across the
pavement into wagon. The writer
continued up the walk and on reach
ing the skid found that there was
no one near or even in that part of
the store entrance. How long the
pavement had been blockaded he
did not know. But he did know that
II was wrong It was simply piece
of carelessness on the part of the
driver and store helpers, OF. course,
the proprTetofs Of fh@ Establishment
were not to blame. for they knew no
thing of It. The Bulletin hopes. how
ever. that they will take the matter
up and Issue instructions IN regard
TO Il.
The pavcmcnts should be obstruct.
ed only long enough to load and un-
load wagons. whilst all the time hav-
ing care for the rights of pedes.

public. and the public has first right
to them shove everything else.
