Great guns and little fishes were

arranged By the California Promotion
Committee, but the great guns proved
to be a masked battery, and the little
fishes came in cans and between small
slices of bread, with French mustard.
Military secrecy, army regulations
and an interruption Of communication
with the War Department at Washing
ton put an abrupt end to the advertised
excursion to the Notifications on the
north shore of the bay. Several hun
dred knights and ladies who applied
for transportation went over to Sausa-
Tito in the hope of seeing a battery OF
breech-lOading sixteen-inch cannon OF
the disappearing kind, but had to con-
tent themselves with a short life on
the ocean wave in and about Richard
son cove and a diet of sandwiches and
cold drinks.
1t is sufficient TO say that the Gov
ernment at Washington is growing par
ticular regarding the location Of its
coast batteries and just who shall
know thereof. The authorities IN
charge of the Department of Califor-
MIA asked Washington; Washington
was too busy with other matters to
reply and It was concluded by those
in charge of the floating mines Of mill
tary knowledge at Lime Point that 1T
was best for the knights TemDlar TO
follow the axiom, Don't tread on
me-" and keep away from the sacred
soil of Fort Baker. The knights came.
but were forced to disappear almost as
rapidly as the rified defenders Of Point
Bonita. 1t was just fishing excur-
Sion-thats all.
Cto1 fao
had arranged to have their guests
leave the ferry building at 1870 o'clock
in the afternoon on the regular boat
Of the SausalitO line. On the Marin
side it was planned to have the excur-
sionists met by specially chartered
steamer that would carry them to Fort
Baker and the Point. When word
reached the committee that the Gov
ernment authorities had decided not to
allow the excursion to land at the forti-
ficatiOns the committee Immediately
sent word to the several communicates
that the trip had been called off. All
who applied at headquarters were told
of the change of programme.
Quite a number Of Knights and their
families had crossed the bay to Sausa-
Ito before learning Of the decision.
They waited awhile for the special
steamer to show uD, and on being in
formed that there would be none, they
spent the afternoon cruising about in
small boats, fishing. enjoying the cool
shade of the wooded hills and the hos
pitality of the yacht clubs They were
well pleased, after all, with the after
Moons outing.
Army officers explained that 1t is not
customary to allow outsiders to visit
the fortificatiOns about the harbOr and
that il is nothing new to exclude visit
ors therefrOm.
Many took advantage OF the excur-
siOns to witness the Admission day
celebration in Oakland. The early
boats to the pier were crowded and at
noon the Southern Pacific ferry sys-
tenn had all it could do to handle the
great crowds that awaited transporta-
tion to the east side.

The Earl congratulated the chief
upon the admirable police arrange
ments during the sconclave. He said
the discipline was a revelation to him
and his suite. The behavior of the inn
mense crowds that lined the streets
during the parade, considering the
small number of police, was a credit
to the police and to the American peo
pie He contrasted the turnout on
Tuesday with the Lord Mayors pro-
cession in London, when the streets
were lined not only with police, but
with troops to keep order. He thanked
the chief for the courtesies extended to
him and asked him to remember that
in bestowing upon him the cross of
honor of the Great Priory he was doing
so as the representative of King Ed
ward VII.

MUST RETURN
AS INDIVIDU AIS
Striking Stock Handlers
Must Sign Agreement Be-
fore Getting Back Old Jobs

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-More than 600
livestock handlers who went out on
strike appeared at the office of Man
ager- Skinner of the Union Stock Yards
and Transit Company to apply for their
old positions. He had previously an
nounced that he would employ all the
old men needed.
None of the stock handlers were
taken back, being informed that they
would be sent for when needed. 1t is
understood that before going to work
they will be required to sign an agree
ment setting forth that they return as
individuals and not as an organiza
tion.
Members of other unions were not
so much in evidence when work was
begun at the packing houses to-day.
Most of the men did not know that the
strike was off. President Donnelly has
received a telegram from the last men,
Der of the international executive board
of the butchers, giving permission to
call off the strike.
Business Agent Golden of the team
sters said that the teamsters will go
back to work IS an organization or
not at all.
The following statement was issued
by James Tracy, secretary of the
Allied Trades Conference Board:
markable that has ever occurred in
the United States. 1t was remarkable
for the absence of disorder, although
fifty thousand men and women were
involved. 1t proves that labor organiz-
ations are law abiding bodies and their
members are engaged in peaceful ef-
fort to uplift the masses. 1t Is remark
able for the fact which is attested by
the police that our ranks were prac-
tically unbroken in spite of most ad-
verse conditions. 1t is remarkable be-
cause it was a fight against some of
the largest corporations in the world
in behalf of unskillcd workers. The
seIf-sacrifice and heroism of the strug-
gle has never been told, probably never
will. Like all strikes 1t ended in
victory for the workers because rather
than risk such a struggle the employ
ers will be ready to treat with the
unions in the future on an equitable
basis. Every union will retain it's
solidarity and will come out of this
struggle stronger than ever"
