CALL FROM CALIFORNIA.
Not Burned San Francisco, But Entire
State, Wants Labor.

CoIvin B. Brown of San Francisco
recently went to New York u open
an eastern bureau of the California
promotion committee in the Waldorf
Astoria. says the New York Sun. He
represents the central body of Califor-
MIA merchants and aGriculturists, with
offices in San Francisco, whose prov
ince it is to boom California, earth
quake or no earthquake.
"Our work of exploiting the resources
of the Golden State is not interrupted
by such small things as an earthquake
and fire" says Mr.. Brown. There is
more field for promotion work now
than ever before"
incidentally the eastern representa-
tive of the California promotion com
mittee is in New York to help the peo-
pie at home to secure labor of all sorts.
According to his statement, there Is
dearth in the labor market throughout
the whole OF California that bids fair
to become Il serious problem both in
the rebuilding of San Francisco and
in the harvesting of the crops through
out the interior valleys. Employers are
bidding for skilled labor in San Fran
cisco today, he says. and any man
who knows how to handle tools is
worth his own price in that city. The
vincyardists are put to it to find men
to pick their grapes. the wheat raisePs
cannot secure enough farm hands to
gather in the fall crop and every
where there is an imperative call for
men who work with their hands.
"In San Francisco they cannot find
enough carpenters, plumbers and brick
layers to work on the jobs that await
them,' said Mr.. Brown. Things have
come TO such a pass that, although the
unions have not raised the minimum
wage above what it was before the
fire, contractors get out in the labor
market and bid for skilled labor in the
building trades, the highest price Of
fered gaining the men. l have known

The musical department of the

In the country no less than In the
CITY the labor market is suffering Sc
we're drought. Mr. Brown quotes An
drea Sbarbaro, president OF the ASH
Swiss colony, as saying that there VIII
be employment for 10000 men IN the
vineyards of California during the
months of September and OCTOBER
when the grapes are garnered. Unless
IaborerS can be brought out from the
east the vineyardiSts Will suIef heaVy
loss. The grape crop this year Is IN
usually heavy, and the fact that all the
wine stored in San Francisco vaults
was destroyed by the fire has forced
the price of grapes up to $50 ton
when the living price is $40. VINE
yardists will clear from $50 to $3OO
per acre ON their fruit if they can get
the men to pick it.
Mr. Brown has visited the labor in
formation office for Italians in New
York and laid before Manager KOS
sati the opportunity open Tor Italian
immigrant labor in the vineyards Of
California. Since the problem of trans
portation would prove too serious
one to be overcome by prospective Ia
borers in the California vineyards
without aid. the promotion committee
manager has written to the grape
growers at home advising that they
combine and furnish transportation to
the Italians in New York willing to go

San Francisco, according to Mr..
Brown, is enjoying remarkable trade
boom at the present time, particularly
in the furnishing and hardware trades.
He cites the instance of one retail
trade furniture store which quotes the
month of June as the record month for
sales in forty years. With the rebuild
ing and furnishing of homes through
out the ruined district going ahead at
rapid rate the retail trades are boom
ing.

up, and across the street the handsome

the establishments of former days that

Disrae1i.s Keen Bu~iness Instinct


When the Hon. Mr.. Ward wrote his
novel "Tremaine," he was fearful of
acknowledging himself the author I'M
til its fate should have been ascertain
ed. He accordingly, the better to pre-
serve his incognito, sent the manuscript
copy by the wife of his attorney to Mr.
CoIburn. The work. although accepted,
was not considered likely to pay ex-
tremely we'll. and consequently q
trifing sum was given for it. Contrary.
however, to Mr.. Colburn's expectations,
it ran to three editions.
The ingenious author of "Vivian
Grey" then twenty-five years old, hav
ing heard of the circumstances, deter
mined to useit to advantage, and accord
ingly having arranged his work for
publication, he proceeded to find out
the honorable gentleman's fair messen
ger. This he quickly effected, and upon
a promise of giving her EGO induced hey
to be the bearer OF his novel to the

by Mr.. Colburn as the same person
who brought. him ''Tremaine;' and rec

air of mystery that, whatever the facts
may be, Is seriously damaging the bust
ness standing of the defendant Shortly
after the Senate met at noon. the matter
came out formally. MIR. Fulton. OF
Warren, addressing the chair, declared
that as result of the committee hear
ings behind closed doors. unofficial frag-
mentary and garbled reports had got
ten abroad. calculated to seriously In
jure the reputation of those connected
with the investigation, Speaking APP
parently by the card. Mr.. Fulton said
he understood that nothing ''scanda-
lous'' any sort had come out of the hear
ing. as many seemed to suppose, and
that it would unquestionably be better
to let the plain facts speak for them
selves. This declaration as giving some
thing like an official statement of the
resuItof the investigation UP to this time,
is important Proceeding Mr.. Fulton
offered this resolution for which he
asked immediate consideration:
Resolved, by the Senate Of Virginia,
That the committee appointed to in-t
ves.Igate the fitness Of e. II. Cloves
to be director Of the Eastern State

to proceed With Its further Investlsa- y
ton In open session. and the seal of
from the evidence already taken.
Representing the investigating COM
mittee, which. under the ban of secrecy,
has been unable to explain any of the
statements referring to it's actions, MI.
Thomas asked that the resolution be
adopted. Senator Anderson, of Richmond,
also favored open session, Mr.. Keezell, OF
Rockingham, declared it to be rather
remarkable proposition for the, Senate at
this stage to order an open hearing of
a matter first considered in executive ses-
sion, and that should properly come be-
fore an executive session. Without COM
hitting himself either way. Mr.. Machen,
OF Alexandria, pointed out that as the
committee did not meet again until next
Tuesday, there was no hurry. and he
asked that the resolution go over. under
the rules. for consideration in regular
order to-day. Mr. Fulton acquieseed.
The Record.

mttee hearings. which will be presented

Will There Be a Strike?

AT conference to be held to-day be-
tween the coal operators and a committee
OF the United Mine Workers, 1t is proaable
that the question will be settled whether
or not there will be a strike of the coal
miners. The coal mine operators have
come to full understanding among
themselves. 1T is announced, and have
agreed as TO the general policy which
they will pursue at to-days conferences.
1t IS further announced that the opera
tors will not accede In any way 10 the
demands of the United Mine Workers
and that the latter must either back
down or strike.
just what the United Mine Workers
VIII demand is not definitely known. 1t is
reported, however, that they will de-
mand q recognition of the union and I'm
eight-hour day, which means a higher
rae Of wages, ana that they will maze
q strong fight for the change In the
methods of the board Of Cancellation.
One report says that the mine workers are
dissatisfied with, the present method OF
settling difficulties anu say there will al
ways be friction until better method
o. settling disputes IS found. There is {,
growing belief that IL the operators are
liberal in Granting concessions TO che
miners, the demand for the recognition
OF Tie union may not be pressed.
1t Is 70 be Inferred also from a state
ment recently given out by President
Patrick polan. Of the Plttsbure district
whose resignation was demanded because
he voted with the operators al Indiana
