TOWNS IN STATE WHERE
WORK CAN BE OBTAINED.

It is important that refugees who
are leaving San Francisco without a
definite destination should be advised
concerning the interior towns, where
conditions are such that employment
is being offered. Congestion in the
larger cities should be avoided, not
only on account of difficulty in pro-
viding sustenance, but because most
of the industries are well supplied
with labor In a number of the rural
communities and small towns the food
and water supplies are adequate and
there is some demand for good steady
workers.
At Eugene, Or, employment may be
had for 100 laborers, who are accus-
toned to out-of-door work. I, At Wood
land the people are able to take care
of about 500 refugees, but prefer to
handle those who will later on be
available for vineyard and orchard
work. There is an immediate demand
there for six good bakers. In about
ten days the Goldfield and Bullfrog
road will begin construction and can
make use of about 200 men. Reno
offers employment for twenty-five to
fifty good domestic servants. Lompoc
advises they will take care of 300 peo-
pie, and that there is work for most
of them. The relief committee there
has arranged to provide both food and
clothing. At Delano work for twenty
five able-bodied laborers is waiting.
At Bakersfield the Edison Electric
Company and the Kern County Land
Company can use about 800 men. Le-
more can furnish employment to do
mestics and farm laborers. Dinuba,
Exeter, Lindsay, Farmersville, Visa
liza, all demand farm labor, and can
take care of a large number of good
workers. Tehachapi offers work for
twenty-five men in connection with
the Jameson Lime Company.
Relief committees should make a
strong effort to direct those who are
anxious for employment and who are
reliable and industrious to these
smaller interior towns. Many COM
munities are making great sacrifices
to provide for the relief of the refu-
gees, and their work will be greatly
encouraged by the knowledge that
those to whom they are offering aid
are not only grateful but worthy.

HOMELESS WILL
BE CONCENTRATED

Complete understanding exists be-
tween the various authorities entrust-
ed with relief for the sick. Colonel
Torney, medical director of the mill
tary department; DIR. James w. Ward,
president of the Board of Health, and
General A c. Girard medical director
of the Red Cross consulted together
and are rapidly unifying medical relief
work. The CrOcker School building
has been utilized as a hospital and
will be used for all cases of sickness
among those camped at Golden Gate
Park 1t will be the policy of the adj
miniStratiOn to concentrate the home
less and, ii possible. to gather them
all in Golden Gate Park The many
temporary hospitals organized in all
parts of the city will be abandoned as
speedily as the wants they supply c&n
be provided for at one central hos
pital, where the best of care can be
assured. 1t is probable that hospital
building will be erected in Golden
Gate Park
Provision has been made for pre-
venting the abuses of the Red Cross
symbol, which have been fragrant in
many instances. On and after the
18th its use as affOrding privileges
will be confined to those bearing
card signed by the authorized officers
OF the Red Cross. The police and mil
itary guards will be instructed to de-
mand the signed cards of those at
tempting to pass the lines. The head
quarters of the Red Cross are still at
2510 and 2512 Washington street and
supplies of all kinds, especially blank
cts. cots and clothing for babies, are
urgently needed.

Financial difficulties are solving
themselves, the Mint is releasing
money, bankers and the Government
will aid and soon the stringency will
be only a memory Meantime men
live without money and credit gets
better every day.
Assurances are strong that insur-
ances losses will be adjusted Definite
plans of payment will soon be an
nounced.
Finally, the enthusiastic plan to
make the ideal city on these Pacific
shores is not a dream. Genius. capi-
tai and human industry are cleaning
the harvest fields of opportunity for
the making of a great city of the
gateway of the Orient. From Harri-
man TO Schmitz, from d. o. Mills to
Flood and Phelan, throughout all the
offices and shops over which hard
headed business men rule there is
hope to believe and courage to essay.
The men who do things, the builders
OF modern cities and States, are eager
to expend their money, their brains
and their energies in the very spot
which historic San Francisco aban-
doned ON Wednesday for it's unborn
successor.
Fate rang out the old city and its
faults and fate as irresponsible as
the tides of the Golden Gate will ring
in the coming San Francisco with its
greater opportunities and manifold
beauties

UNIONS SUSPEND
ALL TRADE RULES

Inc general executive O1ncerS OF the
State Building Trades Council of Cali
fornia has issued a statement to af-
filiated councils, unions, their mem
bers and to the general public in part
as follows:
Out of this great disaster will grow
individual and civic benefits. Work
for the individual will be unlimited
and a city new and more beautiful
will occupy the site of the pioneer
San Francisco. A city which will be
built upon scientific conceptions
which, to all time, will guarantee its
safety and security.
The conditions which confront us
are those of a general partnership of
rich and poor alike. We must know
no class nor condition, but unite for
the general welfare; therefore until
normal conditions are resumed and
end trade rules must be forgotten and
the spirit of charity and brotherly
feeling between man and man prevail.
The reconstruction of San Francisco
will be largely in our hands. The
building mechanics of California will
adhere strictly to the same rules and
regulations which have hitherto gov
erned the building industry There
will not be any advance in wages.
In every act and thing that devolves
upon us the best that is within us
from the mechanical, individual,
civic and fraternal standpoints shall
be forthcoming. To this end the fol-
lowing regulations are hereby promul-
gated
All rules and regulations governing
wages, hours, the working card and
trades jurisdiction are suspended un-
til the present distressing conditions
shall have been relieved.
We urge upon all members that it is
their duty to render freely and volun-
| tarily all ,sfstance within their pow
er, in orc az lat the relief work may
be accom- ,..shed with as little delay
as possible.
| The following letter has been re-
ceived from Labor Commissioner
| Stafford:
! Editor Call: There is some COM
plant to the effect that bricklayers
are charging eXorbitant prices in some
! instances for the reconstruction of
chimneys, and this creates fear that
skilled labor is going to be unreason-
ably high-priced. The representatives
of the building trades have unani-
mously declared for the established
rates. II property-owners who desire
repairs made will be willing to wait
/ their turn instead of offering exces-
sively high wages for immediate serv-
! ice the wage question will no doubt
adjust itself.
Il am satisfied that the sudden adj
vance in the price of food commodities
| in some stores was brought about in
most instances by the extrayagant of
! fers on the part of purchasers who
had more money than their neighbors
and who objected to standing in line
or to purchasing in small quantities.
If employers will refrain from outbid-
ding each other the labor world will
realize the Importance of reasonable
rates at which homes for the people
as well as business houses for the
merchant and the manufacturer can
/ be reconstructed. Yours very truly,

Commissioner State Bureau of Labor
Statistics"
