TRADES COUNCIL
AGAIN ENJ0INED
Order Prevents 0rganiza-
tion From Declaring That
Mantel Dealer is Unfair

Upon application of Bush Finnell, at
torney for the Citizens Alliance, Judge
Seawell yesterday afternoon granted an
order prohibiting the Building Trades
Council from declaring Thomas F. Rig
ney unfair at its session last night.
Rigney who is in the business of in
stalling mantels, tiles and CRATES, was
cited by the Building Trades Council
to appear last Tuesday night and show
why he should not be declared unfair
for refusing to meet the organization's
demands that he use wood mantels
made by local concern instead of
buying them in the East. He paid no
attention to the summons and yester-
day sued for a perpetual injunction to
prevent further interference with his
business or customers. He recites in the
complaint that it has been necessary
for him to purchase many of his sup
plies in the East. A few weeks ago he
closed a contract for installing thirty
five mantels for a contractor named
Meyers in new building on Mission
street, near Fourteenth. The councils
representatives informed Meyers that
he would be boycotted if Rigney did the
work. and before the latter was permit
ted to proceed he was compelled TO pay
a fine of $3.50 into the councils treasury.
Failure to obey a citation for appear
ance on Tuesday night is usually fol-
lowed by action on Thursday night de-
claring the offending party unfair,
hence Rigney's appeal to the courts.
Attorney FinnelI also filed COM
plaint for injunction for the Charles
Bliss Company against the Journey
men Tailors' Protective and Benevolent
Union, and the case has been assigned
to Judge Murasky's court In Decem-
Der the Bliss Company asked members
of the union If they would make a re-
duction on bills for certain sack coats
which the company was then manufac-
turing for sale. The union would not
grant the request, whereupon the COM
pany declared that after January 1T
would run an open shop" but would
continue TO pay its former wages to
good men. The union replied that such
a proceeding would cause trouble, and
on January strike and boycott were
declared. Since then, ii is charged,
pickets numbering from two to twenty
have been stationed in front of the
place of business for the purpose of
frightening employees. Among the
words attributed to the union repre-
sentatives are: I'VE will give you until
Saturday. February 4. and if you are
still in the employ of Bliss we win kill
every one of you.

GOULD RAILROAD
PRESIDENT HERE
W. A. Bradford Is Carefully
Examining the Affairs of
the Western Pacific Road

w. A. Bradford. president Of the
Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville Rail
road. who was an important factor in
the project of the Goulds to get their
lines into Pittsburg, has been in San
Francisco for ten days. President
Bradford was accompanied to this city
by III. L. Jackson, chief engineer OF the
same road Although they endeavored
to conceal the real purpose Of their
visit to the coast it became known yes
terday that Bradford and Jackson have
been carefully looking over the terri
tory through which the Western Pacific
Railroad is expected to extend
The two railroad men were preceded
to San Francisco by Engineer Bogue
formerly of the Union Pacific, who has
been engaged by the GOulds to inspect
the route of the Western Pacific. With
him Bradford and Jackson made a
journey up the Sacramento Valley
quietly visiting different towns through
which the new line is projected They
were accompanied on this trip and a
subsequent one around the bay by a
man who was for many years closely
allied with Huntington and Crocker in
their many local railroad schemes and
from him they cleaned much informa-
ton regarding Northern California.
Bradford and Jackson left Bogue in the
north and returned TO San Francisco.
where they busted themselves for sew
eral days looking over maps and sur
yeys in their rooms at the Palace
1t is understood that they were com
missioned by the GouIds and the New
York nnanclerS who are supposed to be
behind the Western Pacific Railroad
enterprise TO inspect thoroughly the
entire project. in so far as the con-
struction of the read is concerned. and
that before coming to San Francisco
they inspected a portion of the con-
templated route of the road in Nevada
and Utah with a view to making an
extensive report ON their return to the

Schussler Narrates Trials
of His Company in the
Matter of Rates Prescribed

Assistant City and County Attorney
John C. Partridge continued his cross
examination of Hermann Schussler
yesterday before United States Com
missioner Heacock, in the matter of the
suit of the Spring Valley Water Works
against the city and county The
CAaveras dam site was prominent
subject of the days session. Mr..
Schussler said the site was purchased
in 1876 for 81, ,O00 900. No attempt was
made to utilize it's water until 1888,
when a drought was apprehended.
Can you predict a drought" in
quired Mr.. Partridge dryly.
mo, SIR" was the reply, only God
Almighty can do that. We simply
Judge CT the future by the records of
the past"
Mr. Schussler then said that the work
of building the Calaveras dam required
much money, in fact, more than the
company felt that it could spare owing
to the uncertainty of the failure or sue
cess of legislation hostile to it. Under
the new constitution, he. said, boards of
supervisors began to reduce the income
of the company year by year, so that
the large funds required for improve
ments were not always on hand. 1t
was In 1886 or 1887 before the company
was forced to risk spending the money.
There has always been a disposition.
he said, for the city to cut down the
rates charged the people for water.
Notwithstanding these cuttings
down." asked Mr.. Partridge, you were
able to pay the taxes, running ex-
penses, Improvements and still pay
dividends to your stockholders from
1879 to 1882"
Mr.. Schussler explained that there
were times when it was necessary to
stop payment of dividends. Though the
rates fixed by the board in those years
were perhaps sufficient to pay the run
ming expenses of the works they were
based upon the amount of money ex-
pended by the company and not upon
the value of the works Upon this lat
ter valuation-the present value of the
companys property-the rates fixed
would not enable the company to pay
dividends, he added

New Orleans Exchange Wildly
Excited.

New Orleans, Dec. 4.-Thc day
on the cotton exchange was easily
the widest in its history. The bu-
rcau of statistics of the department.
OF agriculture made its annual esti-
mate OF the cotton crop, issuing
figures of 10, 1G7,S1S bales of 500
pounds gross weight.
This was extremely bullish but
its effect was partly lost in the in
dignation felt and expressed by the
trade generally, first over the count
ing of the crop in 500 pound bales
gross weight, instead of net weight
as has always been the case in
previous estimates, and secondly
over the delay in issuing the report
which was scheduled to come out
at II O'Clock, New Orleans time,
but which was not received until
1886 p. m.
Immediately on the reading of
the figures March, the most active
position, shot up 142 points,
slightly more than 81 bale. This
was an unprecedented advance.
Just before the estimate was read
March sold at 1.S8; the first sale
following the estimate was at 13
cents and the next was at 1880.
The ring was crowded 20 deep with
brokers who frantically fought to
fill their buying orders. The vol
ume OF trading was immense. The
floor of the exchange was crowded
with several hundred visitors from
all parts of the south and their
cheering when they knew what the
estimate was, added to the roar
from the ring. The gallery was
filled with ladies.
The delay in issuing the estimate
as well as the use of gross bales as
measure, FASTENED profit taking by
longs and so great was their selling
that within few minutes after
March had touched 1880 it was
selling at 1886. The final change
for the day was 63 to 50 points on
the active positions, March losing
at 1886 to 12.37.
Much figuring was done after the
estimate was made known and it
was shown that if the estimate had
been made in the same form as it
was made last year, that is, in bales
OF 200 pounds net weight, the esti-
mate today would have read $685.
427, as a full 5 per cent of the
amount estimated today is bagging
and tics and 5 per cent of the
figures returned is equivalent to
sos, ,391 bales. But even expressed
in gross bales, the weight of which
includes bagging and ties, today's
estimate was considerably below the
average cXpectatiOn.
