Committee to Aid Fireman's Fund
Strong ORGANIZATION Invited to Lend Assistance
SHOWER LINEMEN
WITH RIPE EGGS.
Non Union Workmen
Targets for a Crowd
on Mission Street

More than 1000 highly amused spec
tators watched four non-union 1inemen
at work on defective trolley wire at
TWenty-second and Mission streets at
dusk last evening, while a groceryman
supplied eggs for several men to throw
at the workmen in an apparent attempt
TO stop their progress. The crowd
yelled it's delight until the workmen
finished their repairing. tested the new
trolley and rode away in the construc-
ton car
The egg-throwing seemed to be more
In the nature of joke than an at
tempt to injure the non-union work
men. Very few Of the missiles landed
anywhere near the objects of aim, and
the surrounding spectators were the
worst sufferers. The groceryman con-
tributed about thirty dozen eggs to the
melee and smiled in his joy until he
suddenly saw the throwers disappear
through the crowd and no pay forth
coming from any one. Then he caused
a little more excitement by his frantic
demands for 80 cents a dozen for the
evenings ammunition. In the meantime
the Mission-street cars were blocked
for about fifteen minutes
Local Union No. 151, Electrical Work
ers, denies that it has offered to arbi-
trate with the United Railroads. It
says, however, that its constitution de-
niles 1t the right TO refuse arbitration
II ii is offered through proper chan
nels. This means that a proposition
put by the United Railroads will be
considered. The union men say they
are satisfied with the present situation.
The following resolution was adopt
ey by the carmen at their meeting last
Saturday evening;
Whereas, There exists between the

the members of the Electrical Workers
Union No l5l certain grievances which
bring the members of our organization
in contact with armed strike breakers;
and
Whereas, If those differences are al
lowed TO continue our relations with
the United Railroads may become
strained, which would result in great
hardship upon the travelling public, the
United Railroads and the members of
the Carmen's Union Division No. 205;
therefore be it
regular session assembled urge upon
the United Railroads of San Francisco
TO settle with the Electrical Workers
Union No. ISL or submit the disputed
points to an impartial board of arbi-
tration.
The United Railroads officials still in
sist that the men have patience till
President Calhoun is heard from. They
believe he will see a way out of the
dimculty. Calhoun is on friendly terms
with worlxingmen all over the country.
He has been in communication with
the officials of the company and the
latter believe he will come to this city
to investigate the trouble
The railroad people believe that the
carmen will stand by them in the pres
ent fight. They say the latter have
been well treated and always showed
their appreciation of this fact, so no
trouble is expected from that body.

JUNK STOLEN FROM
C|TY'S RUINS.
Rudolph Spreckels Tells
Chief Oman of the
Operations of Looters

Rudolph Spreckels addressed a letter
to Chief of Police Oman yesterday COM
planning that some of the junk men of
the city are carrying away valuable de-
bris from property without permission
from the owners. He states, moreover,
that when a special officer In his en-
ploy pointed out to a regular patrol
man four men who were stealing junk
from the Nathan ohrmann property
that minion of the law was reluctant to
make arrests.
The complaint to Chief Oman states
that the policemen are so careless and
indolent that the junk hooters ply their
trade without fear of arrest.
Other property owners about town
have complained of these same junk
thieves. 1t is said that the City Hall
has been looted of all its copper hx-
lures. Owners complain that copper to
the value of thousands of dollars has
disappeared mysteriously

SLOW MAIL Anglers
ARMY OFFICERS.
More Evidence Concern
ing Dilatory Delivery
Is Secured by Them

The officers at the Preside are still
struggling with the poor mail service
given them and are prepared to follow
up their complaint to the Postmaster
General with much new evidence Sc
cured from officers stationed about the
bay. They are not willing to take the
statement of the postal authorities that
the fire has made a difference in the
service, but say that it was as bad be-
fore the fire as it is at the present time,
II not really worse.
The complaint. which was written by
the commanding officer at Angel Island
and sent through military channels, has
met the approval of every oficer sta
toned IN this vicinity. Much new evil
dence has been secured and the officers
claim that they are ready to prove that
the complaint was as mild as could be
written under the existing circum-
stances,
Already twenty-five envelopes with
the postmarks stamped clearly upon
them have been sent to the Postmaster
General and as many more have been
secured since then and are now In the
possession Of the officers. Many let
tiers mailed at the same Office between

while on other occasions it took eight
days for letter TO go from Sausalito
10 the Preside.
