SW|TCHMEN WANT
HIGHER WAGES.

Refuses to Recognize
Employees Committee
LEADERS COMING

The murmurings of the yard SWITCH
men employed by the Southern Pacific
Company that have been heard for some
time reached a serious stage yesterday,
when committee was sent to General
Manager Calvin with demand for more
pay and was received with a positive
denial. The manager said he could not
recognize their request, as they were
not duly appointed delegates of any or
ganization and for the further reason
that the company has contract with
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
requiring all demands on the, part of
employees to, be stated first in formal
communication addressed to the man
agement of the road.
Chairman Mcintyre of the general
grievance committee of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and Grand
Master p II. Morrissey are on their
way to San Francisco to aid in settling
the difficulty. The switchmen are still
at work.
Heavy traffic on the road of late
caused the company to increase the pay
of shedmen, boilermakers and others
This caused the switchmen to feel that
they, too, were entitled to higher
wages, and when they struck for them
they were induced to return to work
with a promise that their request would
be presented to- the management of
the company.
The wages paid at present to switch
men are % cents an hour and 80 cents
night work the men are paid 80 cents
an hour and the foremen 33 cents. The
demand now Is for 39 cents an hour for
foremen and "a cents ain hour for
switchmen, the day and night pay to

MEXICO CITY, July IA number
of minor chiefs of the Guatemalan rev
olution, who made an invasion Of the
northern portion of that republic, have
arrived here and say that all move
ments OF the revolutionists in Guate-
mala have been brought to a temporary
standstili.
Those concerned in the revolution dc
not look for permanent peace between
Salvador and Guatemala for several
reasons. one being that the insurrec-
tionary party in Guatemala, with sym
pathizers all over Central America, will
not, IL is believed, consider as final any
terms which may prolong in power
President Cabrera Were he eliminated
and another man put at the head OF
Guatemalan affairs the revolutionists
would be contented and would welcome
suggestions from Presidents of both
Mexico and the United States.
In this regard the revolutionists are
almost unanimously in favor Of General
Barillas, now in this city. who was the
first President of Guatemala to serve
out his term and decline reelection
retiring to private life and accepting q
minor office as a matter of public duty.
Offlcial circles here received news to-
day that the Salvadoran army and rev.
olutionists, under command of General
Toledo, have the Guatemalan army sur
rounded at Jutipan.

Warfeld, w. H. Leahy and w. H. Heg-
erty, sent his resignation to the Mayor
The latter is not in the city, having
departed for Santa Cruz on an early
morning train, so no action will be
taken on the resignation until the chief
executive returns to the city. perhaps
next Monday.
AS the reason for his resignation Mr..
Law, in his communication to the
Mayor, says that since his appointment
to the Office of Police Commissioner he
had recalled the fact that he had regis
tered as a voter at his country home
in Los Gatos. AS the charter requires
that member of the commission shall
have been an elector of the city and
county of San Francisco for the last
FIVE successive years prior to his ap-
pointment thereto, Mr.. Law saw no al
fernative but to resign.
With high regard for you" says Mr.
Law in his letter of resignation, and
with sincere hopes that you will be
able to carry out your splendid aims,
regret that l am unable under the
law to remain a member of the COM
mission and enjoy the high honor you
have conferred upon me-" The resig-
nation of Mr.. Law will again cause a
rush of applicants for the position. and
1T is also quite probable that the Mayor
will not enjoy so much rest in Santa
Cruz as he anticipated.
The death of General Warfield came
as a great shock to Mayor Schmitz and
the members of the new commission
as well as to his many friends.
so stunned am 1 by the news of
the tragedy that / can hardly find
words with which to express myself"
said Mayor Schmitz, before his depart
ure for Santa Cruz yesterday morning.
1T was only yesterday that he was
here with me, in the full vigor of life,
with splendid prospects before him for
the remaining years of his life. l knew
him and honored him for what he
was-brave, honest and kind. / feel
that I have lost a friend and associate
that / cannot replace and that the
city and State have lost the services
of a man who would have become in
valuable in the work of administering
the peoples affairs"
The question of General Warfields
successor will not be considered by the
Mayor until after the funeral.
