NEW YORK,S LABOR ADJUSTMENT

From New York have fresh encouragement for
the belief that headway is being made at least,
toward the fnaly of contests between employers and
workers.
What looks like substantial foundation for the
adjustment of issues between the two classes in the
building trades has just been laid 1t is said that the
basis agreed upon affects 10000 employers and more
than 100000 mechanics 1t least puts present stop
to strikes and lockouts and gives promise of per-
manency in good results.
During the last year more the building trade in
New York has been crippled by constant friction be-
tween employers and workers, breaking out frequently
in open ruptures times in acts of violence 1t
not a one.sided fight by any means The lockout
introduced quite often the strike. Each side
acted upon the ruinous idea that it could stand the
warfare long the other side. And the whole
building interest of the city suffered greatly
and of property heavy losers and the
families of many thousands of workmen reduced
to extreme poverty
Details of the plan of adjustment are not in hand
but it is said to be compromise equally satisfactory
to employers and employees. AS reported, "the plan
adopted absolutely prohibits strikes lockouts
provides for the appointment of general and a spe
cia arbitration board executive commission and the
settlement of all disputes by conciliation.'
If this plan proves to be workable, without friction
in the gearing of unonism and non-unionism it may
mark the beginning of a sort of industrial millennium
in the United States.

CALIFORNIA; POKER" STATESMEN

The trial Of former Senator Bunkers at Sacramento
is bringing out incidental facts calculated to
make the California cheek tngle with shame.
Bunlers is one of the four senators who were ig-
ANONYMOUSLY expelled from the senate for the crime Of
bribery He is the first one called to account in the
criminal prosecution, the others being scheduled for
trial later
II is claimed by the prosecution that the "boodle"
received by Bunkers wholly in part bank notes
that had been previously marked and in order to trace
the marked money after Bunkers had received It
tain witnesses were called Among these witnesses,
as appears from the report Of the Francisco Bulle
tin. is Senator Charles NJ Shortridge The Bulletin
says this witness called for the purpose of euci
dating the mysteries of the jackpot and the bobail
flush, applied to the operation of separating Boodler
Harry Bunkers from a bunch Of marked money" Now
note the following extract, published in the Bule
tin from special dispatch dated at Sacramento:
"Yes. played poker Bunkers,' the senator ad-
mitted to Bulletin representative II don't deny that
played deal statesman who doesn't play poker
doesn't appreciate the finer prerogatves of his station in
life. I probably played with Buukers five six. and
maybe seven or eight times. sometimes he lost ana
sometimes won. My impression is that the whole
games he quit little ahead He have lost
5000 $500 a sitting for the game pretty stiff. 1
don't play cheap poker l go in TO win something
and make the play worth while
This revelation throws flood of light on the as-
gregaton of statesmen who composed the last legisa
ture. There is no of knowing what percentage
of those legislators of the class here indicated
nor whether they differ in the respect noted from the
Legislators of former years.
But the fact is papable, assuming the accuracy of
the statement made in the San Francisco Bulletin,
members of the last legislature, other
than the expelled booders, who disgrace to the
state of California

SOCIAL DIARY AND GOSSIP
by GRACE GRUNDY

The marriage of Miss Lucy Mitchell,
daughter of Mrs. S. G, Mitchell of
Menlo avenue, and Fred F. Sanborn
which took place in San Francisco
yesterday morning was the elimination
of a pretty romance, and will also be
complete surprise to most of the
friends of the young people.
Miss Mitchell left five or six months
ago with her mother for trip to Homo
lulu and the latter part of last week
they arrived in San Francisco en- route
for Los Angeles. The young man, who
is a member of the wholesale firm of
Sanborn &, Sons, received a telegram
announcing the arrival and he left i'm.
mediately for San Francisco. Cupid
had thrust home with his dart and
there was no such thing as waiting
longer after six months of it.
Mr.. Sanborn met his fiancee and the
sequel was the marriage which fol-
lowed at the residence of Archbishop
Montgomery. The fact that Archbishop
Montgomery, who was for many years
the bishop of the southern diocese and
is so well known to Angelenos, Off
ciated and the prominence of both
young people make this an especially
interesting wedding. The young peo-
pie will pass their honeymoon near
San Francisco before returning to Los
Angeles to receive the congratulations
of their friends.
The travelling art section of the
Ebell club will entertain at luncheon
on Tuesday. May 2, in honor of Mrs.
Ira o. Smith, the director of the sec
tion.
A pretty Easter wedding was solem-
nized at the Boyle Heights Episcopal

AMERICAN SNOBS ABROAD

A story with a moral comes from German news
paper relating to the kaiser's outing the
shores of the Mediterranean.
On arriving at Naples he was told by the captain of
the steamship that the suite which he had occupied on
board would be Immediately dismantled To this state
the kaiser is said remarked that it would
be pity to do so, because 81 there many
Americans who would pay almost anything for the
privilege of occupying a cabin and sleeping in a bed
which had been occupied by the kaiser"
Probably the kaiser said anything of the kind
He is thorough type of the scrupuous gentleman and
the remark attributed to him would be in as bad form
as the snobbshness which it directed. But it is
not material whether the kaiser made the remark
not If he did make it he spoke obvious truth. Tis
true, it's pity and pity it's tis true"
The class of Americans who push themselves into
the presence of royalty abroad generally of the
parvenu type heavy in the pocket but light in the
1t is strange that the ilbreedng of persons
which lavish of money hide should give the
impression that Americans generally are snobbish The
habits of such persons in apng the foreign nobility and
the eagerness of their families trade off rich mar
rageabe daughters for titles likely to confirm that
impression.
But it is rarely that the typical American has the
opportunity of visiting the old world and when he
does make the visit he is found nosing about in
proximity to royalty so-caled nobility He is found
enjoying the natural and artificial beauties of the places
character of the people and noting the points of diff
ference in all things between what he sees and what
he is accustomed to at home.
There are, unfortunately, many Americans who
would pay almost anything to sleep in bed that had
been used by the kaiser" but the sentiment of the
American people concerning them talies exactly with
the sentiment attributed TO the kaiser.
