'LABORERS DEMAND
PAY IMMEDIATELY
FOR THEIR WORK
Two Serious Problems Confront the
Municipal Board of Pub
lie Works.
Must Provide Coin for the Men IL
Employs and Also Supply
Them With Food.
Penniless Toilers Make No Complaint
Until Their Rations Are
Cut Off.

The Board Of Public Works is con-
fronted with two problems: whence to
obtain funds to pay the men employed
since the fire, and how to feed them If
they are to continue at work. Presi-
dent Frank Maestretti will go before
the finance committee Of the Relief
and Red Cross Fund to-day and pre-
sent list Of the men employed, with
the amount due each for work per-
formed in sanitation, clearing the
streets Of debris and other duties
which are absolutely necessary.
There is due to these men about $685.
600, and they clamor for their pay, at
least a part of it, else they threaten
to quit.
The other problem is how to feed
them. While these men are under
pay and will receive what they have
earned ultimately, they have not re-
ceived one farthing thus far, and have
no means to provide for their families.
While the Board of Works provided
them with food they were willing to
continue, but the food supply has
ceased, and the Board of Works will
appeal to MajorGeneral Greely to re-
sumo furnishing meals to the board In
order to feed the men thus employed
until the men shall receive their pay
and are able to purchase their meals.
There will be no lack of restaurants,
so that laborers viii be able to buy a
meal as long as they have the money
to pay for it.

ouARDSMAN BAR CITIZEN
FROM RUINS OF HIS HOME
Robert Munich, a Surveyor, Complains
of Arbitrary Action of a
Rov Soldier

Robert Munich, a surveyor IN the
City Engineers Office, called at police
headquarters Saturday and lodged a
complaint against a National Guards
man, whom he described as "a slip Of
a boy about Is years OF age"
Munich had received a permit from
the Chief to examine the ruins of his
home at lis Hayes street for his in
struments- He went there about 6
o'clock on Friday evening, when the
guardsman pointed a rife at him and
compelled him to leave.
Munich said he showed him the per-
NIT from the Chief, and the young
gCardsman said he would recognize
no permit unless it bore the signature
OF Major Jones.
Munich also complained that a week
ago, while he was taking some snap
shots Of the City Hall at Grove and
Polk streets, a sentinel drove him
away, threatening to shoot him. The
Chief advised him to visit the ruins
during the day and to appeal to a
policeman If he were interfered with.

selves into an association for the pur>
pose of securing husbands. He was
hanging around the hospital for some
time before he mustered the courage
to enter. He was not sure he was
at the right place until he caught sight
Of Miss Amy Hart, the matron on duty

Miss Hart assured the brakeman
that she was not a member of the
matrimonial association and that she
could not tell him where the advertised
marriage bureau was located.
Unconvinced and with reluctance
Perkins backed out Of the door and

meeting with favorable con lent. The
latest scheme to be settled upon is the
division Of the people to be housed into
classes. This is to be done so that tho
personal comfort Of each refugee Will
be looked after Worlingmen are to be
located IN camps near cal lines, so that
they may avail themselves of trans

The Panhandle is to be divested of its

DR.. COulSOn Has
No Intention Of

Plans to Rebuild
Handsome Row
of Flats.

Many of the people burned out Oh
flats are ouavering with fear lest the
landlords of the city raise rents on
them. But their fears can be aliayed
to a certain degree by the fact that
already numerous landlords whose
flats and apartment houses were de-
stroyed have come to the front with
the announcement that they will re-
build Immediately and that rents Will
not be raised.
One of the latest landlords to make
this announcement is DR.. Nat j. Coul-
son. He was formerly the owner OF
a row of palatial flats at the corner
of Pacific and Jones streets. Yester-
day he announced that he has already
made arrangements to rebuild the
flats.
DR.. Coulson wishes to announce that
when the flats are ready for occu-
pancy he will rent them at the same
price as before. Furthermore, he Will
give all his former tenants first call

OAKLAND, May 6.-Relief work in
Oakland, SO far as the distribution Of
supplies Is concerned, VIII be turned
over 70 the T. s. military authorities
tomorrow Brigadier-Generzl Charles
Woodruff, e S. A, retired, has been
detailed TO assist IN this work In a
comprehensive statement made today
General Woodruff outlined the military
policy which applies to San Francisco
as vel az TO Oakland. In the statement
he says:
"The situation here In Oakland is
just this; They have had an excellent
Relief Committee, and they have done
excellent work, but at first they let
their generosity and humanity run al
most too far. The result is that at pres
ent the deserving find themselves cut
Of from what they almost deemed neces-
saries. The undeserying, those who
reach for everything In sight, whether
they need or merit II, VIII probably be
the ones who VIII grumble the most, at
the surtsilment that is bound to fol
low. The fact Is that these supplies
which have been SO generously furnish
ed, VIII soon be exhausted, and now it
is not question Of being generous, but
q question Of preserving the lives and
health Of these people. When the mill
tary take charge they viii Of necessity
be compelled TO restrict the Issue Of
sores 70 such as are necessary for the
healthy support Of the people, as the
ration which has been established by
the military Is amply sufficient for that
purpose-not quite what laboring man
would desire, but much more than what
the younger members Of the ordinary
laboring mans family generally receive.
Now when the military take charge,
they have got to face the situation as
st Is. It is a condition, serious con-
dition that confronts them, and not a
theory. They have no money, that is
the army has not money TO feed these
people. The citizens Of San Francisco
and Oakland have but little money for
feeding these people. Therefore, we find
ourselves dependent upon what the gen.
erosity Of the people throughout Cali
fornia, the Pacific Coast, and the whole
United States are supplying, and that
stream viii naturally ebb and flow,
sometimes an abundance, sometimes a
restricted quantity and the issuing
authorities must husband their re-
sources.
"The Mayor Of this city has taken
steps that VIII insure an abundance Of
wholesome food, and there viii be no
suffering, provided the assures can be
restricted TO those who really need help.
The probabilities are, however, under
military control the people viii gener-
ally be concentrated into camps, where
there viii be no opportunity for fraud.
OF course the military viii consider
from humane standpoint the condition
Of the helpless women invalids and that
sort Of refugee, but they viii hardly
continue the lavish issue which has
characterized the general action Of
those distributing supplies heretofore,
by issuing TO All people who ask for it.
The able-bodied men win not receive
food under military control, unless they
work for 1t. There is an abundance Of
opportunity for work, if the men are ac-
tually seeking work. -

Its form and thought and the pure
spirit of poetry it breathes are re-

community agreeing to consider it as
perhaps the best Of all the many earth

CHEAP HOUSES
: FOR WORKERS
Scheme Is Devised to
Give Homes to
TOilerS.
Company Formed to
Float Coupon
Bonds.

William I. l owe Of oe7 HoWth street
has issued a circular as chairman Of
an organization established to build
houses for its own memners, to esta5-
lish stores and create industries OH
cooperative lines following the Roch-
dale system. The circular is in manu-
script and Love is the only member
named therein. The title Of the COM
pany is given as the Co-operatieva
Home and Industrial Association,
According to Love, lit proposes to
build for themselves two, three and
four room, one-story houses, to be To-
Gated in the suburbs where excessive
danger from fires will be eliminated.
These houses will cost, furnished, about
$500 to $500 each. On a IL per cent ba-
sis they would represent a rent charge
of $50 to $50 year, or SALT to SIS a
month per home. Counting out taxes.
repairs, ETC., these houses would easily
pay per cent interest per annum to
those advancing the money"
In order to obtain the money where
with to buy land and build these houses
the association proposes to issue ten
year gold bonds, secured by first mort
cages on the property. The mortgages
will run to trustee to secure the bonl
owners. The bonds will be issued in
denominations Of S.. $25, $50 and $100
and will draw interest at per cent
per annun, payable quarterly in New
York exchange. Monthly payments
will be made into a sinking fund for
their redemption.
Love is Of the opinion that tne
monthly expense Of these homes, in
Guiding the interest ana sinking fund,
will be so reasonable that they will al
ways be occupied. The circular names
the Western National Bank of San
Francisco and the First National Bank
Of Oakland as places where these bonds
may be purchased.
The circular contains the following
Endorsement:
II indorse the following appeal and
ask the press Of the country to give
it as widespread publicity as possible.
The necessity Is urgent and immediate.
Moneys sent to the Western National
Bank of San Francisco or to the First
National Bank of Oakland, as directed,
will be properly accounted for, and. in
this crisis viii do immeasurable good.

FORMER GREAT FIRES
WHICH DESTROYED CITY.
How Citizens Of Earlier Days Acted
After San Francisco Had Been
Swept Away.

SWepC AWAY
The fires of early days in San Fran
cisco were six in number occurring on
the following dates: December "a,
1S49; May 4, 1850; June IA, 1850; Sep
tember II, 1850; May 4, 1851 and June
% 1851.
By the first fire the entire city was
reduced to ashes. The second great fire
swept away the rebuilt portion Of the
city involving loss of $4,000,00o. The
third fire destroyed property worth a
million of dollars. The greatest Of these
confagrations was the one Of May 4,
1851, which destroyed the enlarged and
better city involving loss Of $4,000
900. Despite the severe blow, the spirit
or the citizen was expressed by one
and his sentiments uttered fifty five
years ago are those Of the citizens Of
today. They were: "so great is our
confidence In the natural location and
advantages of this place, and on the re-
cuperating energies Of our fellow citi-
zens, that we do not hesitate for a mo-
ment to say that San Francisco win rise
again and occupy the position which
nature evidently intended her to fill
and adorn. Our recovery may not be
as rapid as before, but it will recover" !"
The spirit of the citizens of those
days is shown in the fact that within
ten days after the fire one fifth of the
fifteen hundred buildings destroyed
were restored.
The rebuilt district was again visited
by fire in little more than six week
and in the limits of Broadway, Clay,
Powell and Sansome streets, a loss Of
$4,000,000 was entailed.
That was the last of the great con-
fagrations until the recent one which
involved loss of an amount in excess
of $500, 100000.

The theft was reported to General
Funston, who ordered that all the Sec
