TENEMENT HOUSES
ARE DISCUSSED.

The tenement house problem of New
San Francisco and the crying need Of
adequate building laws to avoid the
erection of unsanitary buildings and
prevent overcrowding were the sub
jects under discussion at meeting
of the social science department of the
California Club, held yesterday in the
annex of the Calvary Presbyterian
Church on Fillmore street.
Mrs. Sidney Smith Palmer presided
at the meeting. Papers were read by
DR.. j. Wilson Shiels Henry A. Fisk,
Rev. Dr. William RAIDER and Mrs. j. w.
Orr. Each took up the tenement-house
yet all concurred in urging stringent
State law governing the erection and
operation of such dwellings,
DIR. Shiels made his plea for better
conditions on the grounds Of health,
declaring that the blessing of the fire
was the destruction of the filth ac-
cumulation of years and the murder
ing of disease that accompanied It,
1T is the duty of the people, he said,
ito see that the people are cared for.

he continued, and those parts that
were densely populated before will be
densely populated again, and unless we
force this issue the same disease
breeding localities will exist. The
whole trend of medical thought and
investigation is the prevention and not
the cure, and the proper housing of the
people Is the most important factor in
this prophylaxis, but the method must
be perfect in every detail, for one frail
link weakens the entire chain"
The past, present and future of the
tenement house question were the
aspects of the problem considered by
Mr.. Fisk. He stated that the belief
Of many that San Francisco was free
from any serious tenement house prob
lem was unfounded, and in substantial
tion OF his claim described dozen or
more houses now located or being
erected in the city for tenement pur-
poses where the worst of conditions
prevail. He also touched on the fact
that cellar dwellers are by no means
scarcity in the city, and that in many
respects conditions are growing worse
instead of better.
The Rev. DR.. RAIDER talked of San
Francisco's Opportunities" making a
special plea for Individual homes

Organization and the adoption of a
platform on which union labor will
present its candidates to the people
were decided upon last night at the
opening session of the local municipal
convention of the party at Dolores Hall.
In addition to the routine committee
Of Ave was appointed to confer with
like committees from the Republican
and Democratic parties for the purpose
of resolving upon a way to take the
nominations of the judiciary out Of
politics.
The conamittee OF Ave which was APP
pointed by Chairman Charles A. Nelson
comprises Nicholas Lawler, T. F. Egan,
James A. Wilson, c. j. Williams and
George Berger. The endeavor of the
committee will be to secure the nomi-
nation of the same Judges of the three
party tickets and do away with a sys-
tenn which the convention characterized
as political trading and bartering in
nominations for judicial positions
which has become one of the disgraceful
incidents of our political system.
While many of the. planks that have
appeared in labor union platforms are
embodied in the one adopted last night
a new note was struck by the conven-
tion by the insertion of a plank bear

The creation of State Board of Arbi-
tration is also urged and the building

UNION LABOR PLATFORM.
The platform follows:
Meeting just after the greatest
calamity which has ever befallen
an American city we bow with rev.
erenee TO. the will of the Supreme
Being who has so ruled our des-
TIMES that out of destruction and
chaos have sprung confidence,

and more substantial and kindly
recognition of the universal and
actual brotherhood of man.
Upon the members of our party,
composed largely of the wage
earners of our community, will de-
volve in great measure the build

We pledge our nominees and our
official representative to a policy
of peaceful and friendly co-opera-
tion with all elements OF our pop
ulation in an earnest endeavor .d for
construction of our city.
We congratulate the citizens. of
San Francisco that the Union Labor
party succeeded at the last muhi-
cipal election in placing in office
men who when tried have proven
true TO principle and to the city's
best interest.
We point with pride to the rec
ord of our honored and distin-
guished standard bearer, Mayor
Eugene r. Schnitz, and to the abil
ity and fairness with which he has
handled the great, extraordinary
and unusual problems which he
