STRIKE Of SAILORS
NEARS THE END.

After many weeks of strife along the
water front of San Francisco. the
troubles between the Sailors Union.
the Marine Firemens Union and the
Cooks and Stewards Association on
one side and the United Shipping and
transportation Association on the
other are nearing an end After con-
ference Saturday night between the
ship owners and the sailors, which re-
suited in the owners of the steam
schooners practically withdrawing e
from the shipping organization. several
OF the steam schooner firms accepted
the unions terms This means that
fifteen steam schooners will secure
union crews in northern ports and
bring TO this city much needed cargoes
of timber.
Andrew Furuseth of the Sailors
Union will not admit that the whole
tie-up is at an end. but regards the
action of the steam schooner men as a
victory for the union. He says that
but for the action of representative of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
an agreement satisfactory to all might
have been reached.
gFuruseth says that the big steamship
companies want the privilege of en-
ploying men at s5 month less than
the union scale and to ship mixed
crews. The seafaring men will prose

ARCHBISHOP AND ASSISTANTS

Morning Hours.

OAKLAND. Sept. 2.-The new fit
tings and furniture of st. Patrick s
Church, in West Oakland, were for
maIly blessed today by Archbishop
Riordan. assisted by members of the
clergy from all parts of Alameda
County and from the cities about the
bay. The ceremony was impressive,
beginning with a solemn high mass
this morning, which was celebrated by
the Rev Father Gleason OF Santa
Clara, who was assisted by the Rev.
]. B. McNally, pastor of st. Patrick S
parish. At the close of the mass the
members of the congregation were ad-
dressed by the Archbishop. who con-
graduated them on the beautiful ap-
pointments of their house of worship.
The ceremony of the dedication of
the new fittings and of the brothers
and the sisters home, which has re-

policy honestly on that score.
Insurance men who have been study
ing the situation since the returns OF
Salvage" have come from the East, as
presented by many of the cutting COM
panies, declare that the amount of sal
wage in San Francisco can in no pos
sible circumstances be legitimately fig
ured as basis of slashing payments
on the face of the policies. So impor-
tant an aspect does this feature assume
to many of the dollar-for- dollar COM
panies that a carefully compiled state
ment of actual settlements, both indi-
vidual and through the adjusting bu-
reau committees, has been made to IN
dicate the relation of the policies race
to the values and losses.
This statement covers every charac-
ter of risk carried in San Francisco. 1t
shows that the total loss reaches the
sound value total, or the value estab-
lished before the fire, very closely, and
the total insurance runs 40 to 80 per
cent below the total loss. This is con-
elusive evidence to the experts who
have made the inquiry that the claim
of heavy salvage is an. absurdity. The
statement herewith shows the charac-
ter of the loss, then the sound value,
the total loss and the total insurance;

Insurance Corporations In Their Reports Conceal
Weching Tactics Under Term Of Salvage

OAKLAND, Sept 2.--Not few of
the insurance companies that are heav-
lily discounting their policies in settle
ment of their San Francisco losses
have been discovered in an attempt to
conceal their practices in their reports
to New York and other Eastern insur-
ance Commissioners by allowing abnor-
NAL amounts for salvage" in their
statements. Many cases have been re-
ported where salvage" as high as so
per cent has been reported. This sal
wage" is charged against the face of
the policy, the result being that the
appearance 70 the unsophisticated out
slider is that payment was made in full
on the policy after the salvage" So
called had been deducted.
Investigation has disclosed that the
Salvage" on the San Francisco losses
has not run more than from 8 to 5 per
cent. In short, the sound value and the
total loss have been practically one
and the same throughout, while the to-
tai insurance carried is far below the
total loss. In other words, San Fran
cisco was heavily underinsured, the
salvage" cutting no appreciable figure.
and is entirely inadequate to meet any
effort OF an insurance company to scale

UNCARDED M|X-UP
FOR GOLDF|ELD.

G0LDFIELD, Sept. Att is prob
able that tomorrow's fight carnival
will not end with the Nelson-Gans con-
test, but that there will be a fight of
another kind between the Goldheld
Sun and the Industrial Workers of the
World. This organization, which is
composed of cooks and walters, saloon
employees, ETC., has declared a boycott
on the Sun and has notified the staff
of the paper to join the union or leave
town.
The Sun is owned by Lindley c.
Branson, who also owns the Tonopah
Sun. In the latter paper Branson, in
an article headed Come On, You Cow
ardly Ours" defes the union and offers
its members any kind of a fight they
want. Yesterday the Sun was sold on
the streets of Goldheld by husky men
connected with the paper, but beyond
some rather plain spoken comment on
the part of the boycotters there was
no demonstration. Tomorrow, how
ever, will be a holiday and there will
be big crowd in town. Threats have
been made that If the Sun is published
tomorrow every man connected with it
will be run out of town.
The Sun people say they will publish
paper and fight if any attack is
made on them.
Efforts have been made to purchase
the Goldfeld paper from Branson and
he is reported as being willing to SELL
The union will not remove the boycott
even If the paper changes hands It
does not want Branson to benefit by
the purchase money.
1t is stated that the Miners Union
and other industrial unions here are
not in sympathy with the doings of
the Industrial Workers of the world.
Tonight Frank Horton, printer and
a member of the Typographical Union,
was kidnapped by four members OF the
/. w. w. and escorted out of town.
Horizons brother is a prominent banker
here and no time was lost in getting
the Sheriff and a force of deputies
after the men. They were overhauled
and Horton was brought back to town.
The pickets of the union have been
taking snapshots of every person visit
ing the Sun office and the photographs
have been posted on a bulletin board
in front of the union headquarters.
Men bearing placards are parading
the streets warning the people that
any one who patronizes the Goldfield
Sun will be boycotted. The mine
owners and merchants of the camp are
not in sympathy with the l. w. W.,
but as yet they have taken no action.
Tonight the Western Union Telegraph
Company was notified by the walking
delegate of the union that no more
telegraph messages should be delivered
to the Sun. The Office of the paper is
under guard day and night.
