FOR Time

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-The
ways and means committee of the la
Dor federation in this city called upon
President Calhoun of the United Rail-
roads last night. The committee plead
ed for two hours with Calhoun not to
decree the death of the Garments union
by refusing it's recognition. Calhoun
told the committee that his attitude
toward the union was unchanged.
The committee threatened the rail-
road with a conflict in which all Or
ganized labor would engage. Calhoun
replied that he had never sought nor
Stunned conflict. During the meet
ing some of the committee, which is
composed of the leading local labor
leaders, excoriated the officials of the
Garments union for the action in call

name of organized labor, repudiated
the action of The Garments union, yet
pleaded that the Carmen's union not be
destroyed. He admitted that the union
had been punished but held that death
was too severe a penalty. He asked
that Calhoun take the men back to
work and recognize the union and SUBJ
NIT the question of wages and hours
