JOINT PARADE
ON LABOR DAY
Union Men From Two
Sides of Bay to March
in Oakland.
Will Hold Usual Picnic
at Shell Mound After
Demonstration.

OAKLAND. July 1.-The Building
Trades Council of San Francisco has
accepted the invitation Of the Alameda
County Building Trades Council to
hold joint celebration in Oakland of
Labor day, the first Monday in Septem-
ber. This means that a great union
labor demonstration will be held in
this city, in which 10000 men will take
part, representing all of the building
trades unions on both sides of the bay
One of the notable features Of the
observance of Labor day in this city,
under the direction of the combined
trades councils, will be the great pa
rade of craftsmen, with their scores of
floats and other paraphernalia, typical
of the many lines of building opera
tions In which the thousands of trades
unionists are employed.
Estimates of the number of men who
will take part in the joint celebration
run from 10000 to 10000. The Ala
media Building Trades Council has
heretofore observed Labor day with a
parade of the local affiliated unions,
after which they have joined their fell
low union workers from San Francisco
in an outing at Shell Mound Park. This
year the scene of the entire oelebra-
tion will be in Oakland. so far as the
procession is concerned. Afterward the
unions WILL dS 81 ~ oAOAA
Mound Park.
j. B. Bowen. representing the Ala
media County Building Trades Council,
extended the invitation to the San
Francisco Council at a meeting held
last night in San Francisco Concern
ing the plans Bowen said-today.
Realizing the conditions which exist
across the bay, the Alameda County
Building Trades Council invited our
brethren to unite with us and to be
our guests in a celebration of Labor
Day in Oakland. The invitation was
accepted. Arrangements will go for
ward at once to prepare for the big
celebration, in which many thousands
of mechanics will display the emblenns
of their craft in an imposing parade.
Our committees have been organized
and will work hard toward the success
of the days observance. We are gratt-
fed that our invitation was accepted
and we purpose to make the day a
noteworthy one in the annals of trades
unionism on this side of the bay.

many STEAM SCHOONERS
Said TO BE Laid UP
Sailors Union Officials Claim
Owners Cannot Secure
Any Seamen.

According to the information re-
ceived at the headquarters of the Sail
ors' Union, twenty-six steam schooners
belong ging to the members of the Unit
ed Shipping and Transportation Asso-
citation are now laid up for want OF
men to sail them. These boats are all
reputed to have done a rushing bust
ness in the lumber trade before the
strike, but now, 1t is said, they will lie
idle for an indefinite period.
The Sailors Union also claims that
the steam schooners Sequoia and Van
guard have lost their crews of nom
union men and are at the present time
stalled for lack of workers to take
them to sea. These men are said to
have quit of their own voiition
1t also rumored along the front on
good authority that the State of CALI
fornia and the City of Puebla, belong
ing to the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, have also lost their nom
union men, and this is the reason given
why they have not sailed on schedule
time. These men, according to the
officials of the Sailors Union, came to
headquarters and complained that they
were treated very badly at sea and
announced they would have nothing
more to do with the owners of the yes-
sells.
Secretary Furuseth Of the Sailors
Union says that the shipping agents OF
the association are at the present time
securing the State for men. He claims
that these workers are being shfpped
on false pretenses and that sixteen of
them have reported to the union that
they were bunkoed and promised to
warn all their friends.

ing Pool in the City
of Oroville.

OROVILLE, July 1.-The body of p.
II. Brown, a mining man and draughts-
man of San Francisco and Alaska, was
found this morning lying in dredg-
ing pool of water with a gaping re-
volver wound in the forehead. Many
circumstances point to suicide, but the
fact that the authorities have not as
yet been able to find the weapon has
aroused suspicion that foul play may be
responsible for the mans death.
Z 1t is known that he was without
funds, but expecting money from San
Francisco. The theory is that IL muir
der was done Brown was followed to
the pool after he had received the ex-
pecued coin and there murdered and
robbed. Nothing is known of the man 5
relatives or friends here. He was about
60 years of age. feet inches In height
and had gray hair and mustache. 1t

cisco. and that he had mining property

HOUSE DEMAND
UNPRECEDENTED
Homeseekers in Oakland
Cannot Find Resi-
dences to Rent.
Alameda and Berkeley
Also Experiencing
Lively Times.


OAKLAND, July 1.-Tested by the
comparative records of business during
June, as against any recent month prior
to April. the realty market on this side
of the bay shows almost 100 per cent
gain in actual transactions. One of the
leading abstract of title firms in this
city makes showing of from thirty
FIVE to forty applications for searches
as against half that number earlier in
the year.
When 1906 opened the real estate
business gave every indication of an
active demand. Partly from the in
quiry which resulted from the fire and
partly from a steady growth not to be
attributed to the disaster In any way.
Oakland and the sister cities. Berkeley
and Alameda, have forged ahead with
bounds not foreseen by keen business
men.
= 1t is almost impossible at this time
to meet the demand tor moderate priced
residences in Oakland. Realty brokers
are besieged with inquiries, and sales
are piling up for this class of holdings.
Merchants declare that they can see
plainly in the course of their daily sales
a trend of homeseekers toward perma-
nent location on this side of the bay.
To meet this demand many new tracts
of land are being placed on the market.
More than 100000 in street, sidewalk
and sewer projects will be expended in
short time. according to the estimates
in the Street Department offices. Many
new factories and warehouses have
been established within the last ninety
days
Among new residences which Will at
tract attention is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bernard P. Miller, to be erected on Bou-
levard Heights, near the F. M. Smith
residence. The plans call for a two
story shingled dwelling, with beauti-
full veranda and portico effects. Miss
Julia Morgan is the architect.
