Help Scarce.
There is a general complaint of

although some wheat was damaged by

complications. sent out detachment OF
scouts to learn the sentiment and the
temper OF the employees of the United

it is said, that the men were firmly
convinced of the truth of a report
which said that IL they went on strike
Mayor Schmitz had promised Mutually
that he would take the first car out
OF the barn in order to thwart them.
Further inquiry developed the fact. the
admfnistrationists say, that the re-
port of what the Mayor intended to
do had been circulated by z. ]. Liv-
ernash. This, however,, is denied with
heat and emphasis by leaders Of the

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stomaehs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close cOntine-
ment to home, Office or factory. and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary.

work with great difficulty. As a result

long. The demand for nutritive aid is

Carmen Ask More
Than Promises.

The striking carmen yesterday issued
to President Patrick Calhoun a state
ment of their regret at the serious III
ness of his youngest son. who was
taken to the hospital yesterday morn
ing to be operated on for appendicitis.
The letter further stated that the men
did not look with satisfaction on his
request that they return to work and
arrange terms afterward. The letter
follows:
Mr.. Patrick Calhoun, President United
Railroads of San Francisco
Dear Sir: Allow us at the outset to
express our sympathy with you for
the serious illness Of your son, of which
we learned this afternoon, and deeply
to regret that the pending disagree
ment between your corporation and
this union should have arisen at a time
when you are overcast with so grave
an anxiety as that illness occasions.
SUSPICIOUS OF DELAY.
You will feel, we hope. that our diff
ferences with you are in your business
capacity as president OF the United
Railroads, and that we do not cease to
think of you on the intimate personal
side of your character with sentiments
of kindliness.
Inc letter which on your arrival in
this city yesterday you addressed to
the people of San Francisco has a tone
of turbulence not usual with you, and,
believing that it was written under i'm
pulse of passing anger, we shall not
assume that you, habitually calm and
judicial, should be held to have meant
all that your words convey.
You say we should have remained
at work until the directorate of the
United Railroads had met you on Mon
day afternoon. No doubt we would
have done SO had not practically all of
the members OF the union believed your
corporation was using every hour of
delay in saying yes or no to the pro-
posals laid before you on the 18th inst.
to hire strike breakers in other cities
and to transform Its local carbarns
into fortified strongho1ds for the re-
ceptfon of strike-breakers.
Information came to us that nom
union men were being engaged, and
The San Francisco call., 1906-08-28

In the serious streetcar strike now
IN progress there Is a political side of
apparently very grave meaning. Mayor
Schmitz and his political advisers de-
clare that the entir- trouble has been
precipitated by their political enemies
Mayor Schmitz has made such an as
sertion public and his friends are in
sistent in the expression of their belief
that he is right. While the Mayor will
not mention any names, his finger is
pointed at E. ]. Livernash Andrew
F'uruseth. Michael Casey, Timothy Sui
ivan and others who have become his
political enemies.
According to the Schmitz faction, the
strike was planned not TO lnjure the
owners of the United Railroads nor
10 Improve the condition of the en-
ployes of that corporation, but to de-
stroy the political ambitions of Mayor
Schmitz and 4.oe Ruef, and to stiffen4
the aspirations of William Hearst for
the possession of a State Organization
IN his political campaign. In proof of
their assertions the administration peo-
pie point to a conference that was held
yesterday by z. j. Livernash, Andrew
Furuseth, Harry Hutton, Timothy Sui
livan, Michael Casey and John Kean.
Livernash is a political enemy of Mayor
Schmitz, confidential friend of Hearst
and the legal adviser and letter writer
constantly in association with Richard
Cornelius, business agent of the car
men, and is believed by the Schmitz
following to be vitally interested in
the success of any political plan that
Hearst may have in this community.
Further than this, say the Schmitz men,
Livernash is the only person not a
member of the Garments Union who has
been admitted 20 the discussions of that
body
Andrew Furuseth is a close personal
friend of Livernash and a strong an
tagonist of the existing municipal ad-
ministration. Timothy Sullivan Is a
politician and an electrical worker. In
a recent campaign he fought the Mayor
and was beaten. More recently he was
actively concerned in the strike of the
electrical workers against the United
Railroads Hutton, an ex-Police Com
missioner, is a bitter enemy of the
Mayor and outspokenly anxious to undo
Schmitz in any political ambition he
may have.
COUNCIL OF SCHMITZ'S FOES.
In this conference Schmitz and his
followers saw nothing but war coun-
Gil of their enemies planning new
advantage and especially to deepen and
strengthen the newly manifested dis
trust of the carmen and their affiliated
unicns.
While this conference of the
administrations enemies was In
progress another meeting of I'm
portance was being held at the
Mayors office. What happened at this
session probably will never be told in
detail. AT that session there were
