A mass meeting of the striking sta
blemen and hack drivers was held at
Turk-street Temple last night and ad-
dresses made to the men by James Nc
Cue and James Bowlen calculated to
rouse the spirits of any weak ones who
might be wavering. About 200 men
were in attendance and the remarks Of
the speakers were roundly applauded.
The Citizens Alliance was made par
ticular target of attack, Bowlen stat
ing that Anthony Gallagher, who was
killed a week ago in a clash between
union and non-union men, was muir
! dered at the direct instance Of the Citi-
zens' Alliance. 1t was also stated that
the San Francisco Labor Council had
agreed to raise $1,000 to retain James G..
Mcguire to represent the strikers in the
pending injunction proceedings against
the sandwich men and that strike ben
efits would be paid regularly. In view
of these conditions the men were urged
! to stand pat"
JOURNEYMEN PLUMBERS.
4
Plumbers Association has declined to
sign an agreement presented by the
Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Filters and
Steam Filters and their helpers on the
same terms and conditions as have
been in operat tion during the past year.
One of the Objectionable sections
which prevented the signature of the
representative of the Masters Associa-
ton is the stipulation that No en-
ployer must hire helper who is not a
member of the Journeymen's Union"
This clause is held. under a recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court OF Illinois,.
to be unconstitutional and the Masters
Association will probably remain firm
in its refusal to accept the agreement.
TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Because the Carriage Manufacturers
/ Associati ton has refused to renew the
agreement and the three unions affili-
ated with this particular association
the Carriage Painters Union No. Sc,
Carriage Woodworkers' Union No. 50
and Carriag ge Blacksmiths' Union No.
99-there is a feeling of unrest existing
in the minds of the members of these
unions. They believe that the associa-
shop. The association informed the
unions that there would be no imme-
diate change from the present condi-
tions regarding wages and hours, but
positively declined to renew the agree
ment.
The following unions elected the Off
GERS named at the regular weekly
meetings:
