At An END.
Employers and Contractors
of Alameda County Are
to Operate Independently
ARBITRATION FAILS

OAKLAND. Oct. i7.-The building
tie-up was declared off today by the
Employers and Contractors Assoeia-
tion Each employer was authorised
to reopen business tomorrow and make
his own terms with his men. The tie
UP failed on account of lack of cone
sion among the contractors. Since it
was declared many Of the employees
have gone to San Francisco to work,
where their services are IN great de-
mand.
Conferences were held today between
the committees representing the Build-
ing Trades Council and the Contract
ors' and Employers Association Lit,
tie was accomplished toward breaking
the deadlock that has existed between
the organizations in the matter OF ar
hitrating their differences. The rep
reseptatives of the building trades re-
fused positively to consent TO the es-
Establishments of a board of arbitration
at this time, holding that the emlpoy-
ers' association does not include ma
jority Of the builders and maeerlai men
and that the organization Is therefore
not qualified to enter into the settle-
ment of questions by arbitration that
would be binding on the majority.
The representative OF the building
trades said that IL the employers as
sociatien would expei from its mem
bership all employers OF non union Ia
bor the building trades might IN the
future agree to the formation OF
joint arbitration body TO pass upon
matters of pay and changes IN rules.

FORCED MASTER To
RAID ISLANDS.

VICTORIA. B. c., Oct. 1T.-Clear evil
dence is forthcoming by advices re-
eeived yesterday by the steamer En-
press of Japan that the raid on the St
Paul Island by Japanese steamers was
premeditated and the statement that the
treacherously fired upon by the Ameri-
cans, as reported to the japanese Gov
ernment by directors of the raiding
schooner. is shown, to be untrue.
Hunters of the raiding schooner
Toye No. 2. which appeared off St. Paul
Island two days before the raid. went
to the captain with the ultimatum
that unless he permitted them to go
ashore and club seals on the rookery
they would refuse to work and compel
him to return. The master agreed
Further discussion took place as to the
divisions Of the prospective spoils and
knives We're drawn. About midnight
boats were lowered, with oarlocks muf-
fed, and sent in, the vessel being but
a mile from the rookery in the fog
-Four other boats followed and in two
hours l92 seals had been slaughtered
and brought on board the schooner.
Had the sealers been satisfied they
could have escaped. but another raid
was decided on, the boats going in a
second time at 4 a. m. The fog lifted
and those on board the schooner sight
ed the guard coming.
Warning shots were fred. but the
raiders were too busy skinning seals
to notice, and only when the guards
came close did they sight the natives
Then they succeeded in getting only
one boat out in which four men sought
to get to the vessel One Meada a
seaman, was shot through the breast
and two boats were foundered. The
body of the dead man was taken in salt
to Japan and landed without the
knowledge of the authorities

Pauline was particularly So Napoleon
himself was exceedingly sensitive to
atmospheric changes, was headachey
and had auditory Illusions. He had
twitchings Of the arms, the shoulders

was such that he whitfield pieces of fur

pinched babies while pretending to ca

KEEP WITHIN LIMIT
OF HONESTY.
Advice Given by Princeton
Graduate to Stanford Stu

BURBANK ON IDEAS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH 70 THE CALL
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct IL
Robert Z. Speer, a graduate OF Prince
ton. class of 1883. was the principal
speaker at the third assembly OF the
Associate Students of Stanford Uni
versity held here this morning. Speer
made several radical statements IN ar
guing his subject of Margins
He said: 1T is the damnati0n OF our
business man today who tries 20 see
how close he can come to the margin
of dishonesty and illegality- No man
is teo stFsng but that he should fear
the margin and keep away from the
brink"
He cautioned the students against
drunkenness, saying: Il don't believe
any sane man ever drank with the IN
tention of becoming drunk. but ne
probably passed the margin and did
not detect the boundary line"
In speaking OF the margin Of hon
esty in business methods SpseF quoted
John w. Gates as having once declared
that Marshall Field was only honest
81 HeF cent of the time. Speer did
not agree with this and declared that
II was probably an autobiegraphical
revelation of John w Gates rather
than the truth CONCERNING the great
finaneier. Field. the speaker believed.
was honest over 100 per cent OF the
time.
The man whe is honest only 81 per
cent OF the time is, to my mind, al
though he may be over the margin. not
honest at all The man that is honest
but 100 per cent is just barely over the
border"
Luther Burbank. the wizard of hor-
ticulture. also spoke and was received
with a whiriwind OF enthusiasm by the
appFeciative students.
Burbank told in his speech OF the
best way TO regard inventions and dis
coveries and advised the students to
be generous with their ideas. This 10
the principle upon which the horticul-
turist works. In part he further said:
IF you happen to get new idea
don't build a barbed wire Ience around
il and label it yours BY giving your
best thoughts freely others will come
to you so freely that you will soon
never think of fencing them In.
Thoughts refuse to climb barbed wira
fences to reach anybody"
