FOR ELECTION
Delegates From Forty-Fifth
Assembly District Confer
With Republican Leaders

The executive committee of the San
Francisco Republican League met last
evening at 636 Market street and ex-
changed views with a delegation from
the Forty-fifth Assembly District Fair
fax Wheelan. John Lackmann. David
Rich, Richard J. Welch John s. Part
ridge and E. ]. Bowes of the Executive
committee were impressed with the
strength of the delegation. Ruef
has always claimed the por.s-
ical mastery of the district and the
grafters have been spreading the report
that the league would not be able to
effect an organization of the forces of
good citizenship In that part of the city.
The promoters of the league intend to
give Ruef battle on his own ground. The
boss of the SchmitZ administration will
not be able on the day of election to re-
inforce his gangs in other districts from
the FOUNDERS of the Forty-fifth.
After the conference with the delega-
ton the executive committee conferred
with a delegation from the Thirtieth AS
sembly District.
The preliminary work of district or
ganization is very nearly finished Within
two weeks the executive body may be
prepared to announce the names of the
district committees The finance COM
mfttee of forty active citizens, William
r. Wheeler chairman, holds frequent
sessions. and gives assurance that means
will be provided to conduct a vigorous
campaign against the looters OF the city.
The grafters note with alarm the grow
ing strength and efficient organization OF
the forces of good citizenship under the
auspices of the League, and for the pur-
pose of exciting prejudice against the
new organization are circulating rumors
to the effect that the league Is conect-
ed with the Citizens Alliance. These ru-
mors are without foundation. In prac-
tically every district delegation acting
with the league the labor union element
is represented. In many of the unions
the feeling against Ruef is intense. Re-
publicans in the union labor camp have
had enough of Ruef and Schmitz
1t Is asserted with emphasis at league
Headquarters that the Citizens Alliance
has no connection whatever with the or
ganization of the Republican forces. The
Republicans are organizing to bring about
a better state of affairs In the admins
tration of local government. 1t is said
that the wage-earners as well as the
merchants and professional men recog-
nize that the government of the city Is
bad, and growing worse.
The league is sustained by a strong
majority of the Republican County Com
mittee. and will have no opposition at
the primary election beyond that which
NAV emanate directly from Ruef. 1t Is
understood at league headquarters tnat
the looters and grafters will shout CT
zens' Alliance" every time the organiza-
ton is referred to. Ruef fancies that the
resentment of laboring men can be ex-
cited by campaign tactics of this kind
The promoters of the Republican League
maintain that he undertakes the intel
ligence of wage-earning citizenship.

ASKS LABOR COUNCIL
TO SETTLE TROUBLE
Butchers Union Wants to
Adjust Its Differences
With Neat Shops.

GNE5ss - coe,s5O
~RFS5SSzz

Application has been made by the
Butchers Union to the San Francisco La
Dor Council to adjust the difference ex-
listing between the union and Thomas Nc
Keon's butcher shop at 1135 Folsom
street. where, 1t is alleged, there is mis-
understanding regarding union rules. The
same application applies to the shop Of
Joseph Seyner al 21s Sixth street and also
TO Dave Kenny, corner Of Fourth and
Bryant streets, who it is alleged COM
PEELED his men to work overtime on Dec
Grafton day, and when some OF them OBJ
jected he filled their places with nom
union men.
Committees and subcommittee from
the branches of the affiliated unions have
been appointed TO make suitable arrange
ments for the third annual picnic of the
Butchers Union. which viii be held at
Shell Mound Park on July 9.
Complaint has been received at head
quarters that several men working in sau-
sage factories have neglected to pay up
their dues and retain their standing as
members of the union. These are looked
upon as sympathizing with non-union en-
ployers by their indifference to retain
their standing in the union.
Several labor unions IN this city are in
receipt OF circular letter marked con
hdential' which has the covert purpose
Of dethroning the present American Fed
Grafton of Labor, over which Samuel
Gompers is president, and substituting
Eugene V. Debs in his stead, with an
other and more liberal organization to
guide the destinies of the labor organi-
cations OF America
This circular has received a very cold
reception in the unions. as 1t is looked
upon as an attempt to undermine the or
ganization.
A revised qPhadfr1o Of hxr he
Musicians Union is now under consid-
Grafton and viii be acted on at the next
meeting. One of the revised prices is to
the effect that at houses where 81 80 and
over are charged as admission the price
shall be SIS for five consecutive perform
ances with one matinee and the reQuI-
site rehearsals for the same.
