much trouble in getting union wages
for its members who went to Mare ISL

machinists were wanted there. On this
subject the lodge at its last meeting
adopted the following:
Whereas. The best information we
have leads us to believe that there is
not sufficient appropriation to keep all
of the present force at the navy yard
a couple of months, we warn all ma
chinists calculating on a position in
the navy yard that the employment is
very precarious in tenure and with
distinct effort to get rate established
for a greater part of the men in the
lower classes. We further believe that
this invitation to machinists to come
here to look for these positions will be
detrimental to the local conditions in
San Francisco by causing a surplus of
men at the aforesaid navy yard, which
will be injurious to the local condi-
tions; therefore, be it
Resolved, That all machinists are
requested to stay away from the navy
yard and this locality unless prepared
to face many disappointments.
Resolved. That all machinists are
requested to call al our office. 35I Wal
