END
THEIR SESSION
Seventeenth Annual COnven-
tiOn Passes Into History
With All It's Work Done

The seventeenth annual convention OF
the Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union came to a close at noon yester-
day. 1t adjourned to convene next
year In Pittsburg During tho entire
six days of the convention here but
little important work was accomplished
by the delegates beyond the election OF
officers, the adoption of a resolution to
fight for the eight-hour day and to sup
port the Western unions in their fight
against Asiatic immigration, which
was passed yesterday morning.
The last session of the convention
yesterday morning began with the con-
sideration of the eight-hour law and
the fact that agreements demanding an
eight-hour day expire in various cities
from time to time. A resolve was made
to perfect the organization so that a
successful fight may be waged for the
shorter day. To this end organizers
will be sent throughout the country
and unions fighting for the eight-hour
day will be supported by the interna-
tional union, morally and financially
In San Francisco the question will arise
next month and the executive board
will remain to aid the local unions in
the approaching struggle with en-
ployers
The resolution declaring against the
unlimited immigration OF japanese and
Koreans and vouching to support the
local Japanese and Korean Exclusion
League was passed unanimously.
Throughout the convention local labor
men have been making speeches. which
have ended in the movement securing
the support of the international union.
Just before the close of the session,
President Higgins made strong
speech, in which he reviewed the work
of the international union. both during
the past year and the week just closed.
He complimented the delegates on the
transaction of routine and necessary
business and gave assurances of in
creased prosperity for the coming year.
With the calling of the roll the dele
gates were dismissed and the conven-
tion was at an end.

WORKS BOARD MAY
REDUCE SALARIES
Commissioners Claim Funds
Are Limited, but Defer Ac-
tion Oh Proposition.

Commissioners Maestretti, Eagan and
Aigeltinger of the Board of Public Works
held a conference yesterday for the pur-
pose Of outlining the manner Of expend-
ing the sums of money appropriated to
their department for the next fiscal year.
The fact that the allowance was limited
by the Board of Supervisors provoked a
discussion relative to the advisability of
reducing the salaries Of some Of the sub
ordinates.
Aigeltinger refused to agree to propo-
sition to reduce certain salaries. claiming
that some of the employees should have
their salaries raised instead of lowered.
1t was finally decided not to, disturb any
salary until the actual condition Of the
funds has been ascertained after the va
rious apportionments have been made

DEVLIN AND TAYLOR HAVE
ANOTHER TALK ON FRAUDS

Taylor spent an instructive half hour
in the office of United States District
Attorney Devlin yesterday in discuss
ing the legal aspect of the fraudulent
naturalization of seamen in the State
courts. but the scope and result of the
interview have been kept secret
It is believed that much doubt exists
whether the Offenders can be legally
prosecuted in the Federal courts, the
alleged perjuries, if committed at all,
having been committed In the State
courts. 1t will require several more
days of investigation before the au-
thorities will have gathered sufficient
evidence to proceed to the making Of
arrests In the meantime the witnesses
may be induced to go into hiding.
