ELECTRICIANS LOSE
FIRST SK|RM|SH

The Electrical Workers Union Local
No. was defeated in the first skirmish
In the legal battle that 1t is waging
against the Building Trades Council.
Judge Seawell dissolved the temporary
injunction yesterday that restrained
the council from carrying out the sus-
pension Of the local. The court held
that preliminary. Injunction could not
issue and that the case must be settled
on its merits through the medium of q
trial. In the meantime the order sus-
pending the union from membership
in the council is in full effect
Attorney Albert NJ. Johnson. counsel
for the electricians argued that the
local itself had nothing to do with
the demand for an increase Of the wage
scale from So to s6 per day, which re-
suited In strike that was not sane
toned by the Building Trades Council
He advanced the claim that the raise
was put into effect by order of the
Electric Mechanics, a suborganization
over whose actions the union held no
control.
In answer to the affidavit filed at
the last hearing by Secretary Tyeit-
moe or the council an affidavit of Al
bert e. Cohn, a member of the Electric
Mechanics, was introduced by Johnson.
Cohn set forth the status Of the latter
raise In the wage scale was not a union
matter. Johnson further argued that
the action OF the Council In suspending
the union was an act In restraint of
trade, as 1t would have the effect of
preventing the members of the union
following their calling and place them
In the position Of nonunion men.
Attorney George Appel. for the
Building and Trades Council, declared
that the attempt to draw a distinction
between the union and the Electrical
Mechanics was merely subterfuge
Judge Seawell accepted this view of
the matter and failed to consider the
arguments of Johnson as conclusive
enough to warrant the granting of q
permanent Injunction
AS an Offset to the ruling in this
case, Judge Seawe1l dissolved the re-
strainfng order secured by Clifford and
Altman to prevent the officers of the
union from drawing on the $4,000
Iund which the union has in It's treas
ury and sustained the demurrer of the
union. Clifford and Altman argued
tnat IL the funds were left at the
uisposai OF the officers of the union
tney would be used in the maintenance
Of an Illegal strike.

FAMOUS DRIVER,

Charles Marvin. one OF the most

in hospital at Lexington, Kentucky.
He was in his sixty-eighth year and

with the Palo. Alto breeding establish

ford. as it was with the horses bred
down on the banks OF the San Fran

TRUST OOWNED IN
JUST ONE DAY

There was a butter and eggs trust
for just twenty-four hours few days
ago. and therein lies story of the
willy farmer, the cautious grocer and
the man behind the bunch of money
his wife had saved with which to pay
for the necessaries Of life.
The story is told along the business
streets that border the commission
section and smile passes over the face
OF the commission man who was not
"pfnched." Some OF the dealers who
took part Sn the formation of the trust
that failed are out Of pocket a couple
Of hundred dollars or more, but they
are taking their medicine and keeping
mum.
Every "gouger" from Alaska to
Lower California has had whack at
OF the commission men and special
statesmen OF things we havefto eat have
kept accurate tab on all of the gougers'
methods of doing business. Everybody
seemed to be getting fine revenue
from his business and the commission
men did not see any reason why they
should not be included In the cutting
of the pie They would advance the
price of eggs and butter, each 20 per
cent, and then go down the line from
green goods to chickens; they would
start with butter and eggs Up went
the prices, as already told In The Call.
and then came the unexpected.
Every well-posted grocer knows that
when rain comes down In copious
quantities, as 1t has recently through
out the State, eggs and butter grow
weak steadily The farmer and poul-
.tryman and the dairyman know that a
fine showing of grass and plenty OF
fresh water makes the cow feel brisker,
the chickens more enthusiastic and the
restaurant man happier.
The middlemen formed a pool with
the purpose Of making deal In staple
market products. The prices were
raised arbitrarily about 20. per cent,
but the dealers at this end Of the mar
ket forgot to take into consideration
the overstocked stores and the fact
that the producers had been Informed
through the buyers that the market
demand was only normal. When the
poultrymen and the dairymen found
out that the prices had been jumped to
an eXorbitant rate for eggs and butter
they wired certain Of their large GUS
toners that something; was wrong and
that If necessary they would ship direct
The grocers failed utterly to buy un-
der the advanced prices and anpounced
that they had stock sufficient, and
means Of obtaining 1t, to tide them
over for some time; that they would
not hold the high prices for staples
unless forced TO do So on discovery
that the market was tied up so that 1t
would be impossible to control the sup
ply.
The day following the big advance
planned by the middlemen the small
dealers and the producers were ready
for action. The commission houses and
the spectators who had tried to force
excessive market prices found that the
plain people for once had got the better
of the merger and were making up a
few mergers themselves.
The merger merged for only one
day, and now In the face of fine pros
poets for feed, plenty of water and an
abundance of the good things long and
welcome rains bring. there is no
shadow of a parting from the prices
that make noise like legitimate sales.

CITY OFFICIALS ARE
CENSURED

The city officials whose duty It is TO
keep the streets in repair have been
held responsible by a Coroner's jury
for the death of J. NJ Kiordan. the
Vallejo saloon man, who on January
1s was drowned in mudhole in Eighth
street near Bryant In the verdict
which was returned yesterday after
noon the officials were censured by the
jury that had thoroughly Investigated
the death OF Riordan. In its verdict
the 5grV said:
~owtnE TO the condition of the
streets, In which there were large holes
filled with mud and wafer, we severely
censure the proper authorities, for they
should have kept the streets in repair
We further believe that the fact that
the authorities did not do so Is the
cause of the death of J. NJ. Riordan.,
Five other verdicts were returned bv
the jury. two OF which involved deaths
resulting from car accidents. In
neither case was the United Railroads
held responsible for the deaths. The
streetcar fatalities were the cases of
Jeremiah Hallinan. killed on January Is
by being struck by a car at Kentucky
and Twenty ty-second streets, and the case
of Henry S. Welsh, who, on January g.
was crushed between two cars at De-
visadero and Geary streets and who
died January 16. Both deaths were de-
scribed as accidental
