GOTHAM LABOR
UNIONS AT WAR
Building Trades Alliance
Claims Rival Bodies Are
in League With Employers
PLANS A PROSECUTION
Contractors Said to Know i'll
Advance What Bids Are to
Be Put In for Certain Work

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Building
Trades Alliance. union organization,
through counsel to-day made a fresh
attack on the Building Trades Employ
ers' Association by placing certain doc
umentary evidence before Acting Dis
trict Attorney Rand for the purpose of
ascertaining whether this evidence was
sufficient to begin the prosecution of
certain employers. The charges against
the employers are that they blacklisted
members of some of the trades affiliated
with the alliance and conspired to re-
strain trade by entering into agree
ments with unions whereby the mas
ters' association profits over outside
contractors.
The matter was considered at length
to-day at conference in the District
Attorneys office. After this meeting 1T
was reported that nothing would be
done by Jerome, as evidence of suffi-
cient weight to warrant action had not
been produced by counsel for the un-
ions.
The unions, it is believed, intend to
proceed against the employers on the
strength of the opinion handed down
on Saturday last by City Magistrate
Ommen in the action brought by AS
sistant District Attorney Rand against
Donald Call ct al, charging conspiracy
between the bosses and the unions in
the stonecutters' trade. Magistrate
Ommen held that any agreement en-
tered into between unions and the mas
ters' association whereby the masters
association knew in advance of putting
in bids just what bids would be offered
and profited thereby was conspiracy
1t is reported that counsel for the
Building Trades Alliance to-day pro-
duced evidence to show that similar
agreements to that of the stonecutters'
have been entered into by at least one
other union, which act is in favor of
the masters association of that trade.
Rand said that when the new State
law known as the Prince statute goes
into effect on September 1 next a close
watch will be kept on employers, who
can be prosecuted for giving bribes or
extortion money to business agents or
other representatives of unions.
The presenting of the evidence against
the employers by counsel for the alli-
ance is considered the first retaliatory
measure on the part of the unions since
the Building Trades Employers Asso-
citation started in to break the building
trades strike in this city by engaging
union men who sign individual arbitra-
ton agreements.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. ga Cami-
netti Of Amador County was the unan-
imous choice Of the Democrats of the
First District for Congress. Although
entirely without opposition, Caminetti
refused to accept the honor which his
/ associates sought to thrust upon him.
Several times did he arise and raise
his voice in protest. Finally the dele
gates compromised and decided to give
Caminetti till 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning to think the matter over.
Caminetti was nominated by Judge
Raker of Modoc, who took occasion to
pay a glowing tribute to the choice Of
the gathering and to dwell upon the
fact that he had accomplished much
for his district when he served as a
Representative some years ago.
At the conclusion of Raker's speech
Caminetti arose and, after thanking
the assembled delegates for the honor
they had conferred upon him, said that
he was not in a position TO accept the
nomination and requested the delegates
to lay aside his name and agree upon
some one else.
But this did not satisfy those pres
ent. More speeches were made and no
I one would hear Of any one else but
Caminetti At last the latter driven
into a corner, in a brief and simple
speech said that his chief objection to
the nomination was that he was not
in a financial position to make the
fight and, therefore, would not under
take to win while thus crippled.
But even this did not satisfy his ad-
mirers. They still insisted that he
make the fight and Coonan said that
a committee would be appointed to
supply Caminetti with the needed
funds. This seemed to smooth matters
to some extent, but Caminetti was re-
luctant and It was finally decided to
give him until tomorrow to make up
his mind.
Tonight Caminetti received a mes
sage from Jackson, Amador Ciunty,
announcing the serious illness Of his
aged father.
BELL Is RENOMINATED
The Second Congressional District
convention was attended by twenty
two Of the 100 delegates elected, but
all the counties of the district, except
Marin, were represented. The dele
gates found the convention hall locked
AT o'clock, and, after discussing af-
fairs on the sidewalk. went to the st.
George Hotel and held the session in
the ladies' parlor. D. w. Carmichael
OF Sacramento was chosen chairman
and Ed E. Leake of Yolo secretary.
