San Francisco, May 10.-Althcugh
the street car strike is as far from
settlement as ever, the general labor
situation is considerably clarified by
the action of the Building Trades
council adopting a resolution calling
upon the $4,000 men affiliated with
that body, to assist in preserving or
der, and denying that the blicklay-
ers, plumbers, structural iron work.
1rs and carpenters are preparing to
strike June ~.
Action of the linemen deferring a
vote on the matter of striking in
sympathy with the telephone operat-
ors has also helped the situation.
Local retail trade has fallen off
more than so per cent as a result of
the strikes, and reports from other
cities of the state indicate the blow
is being felt there. Shipments into
this city show a deplorable falling
off of all lines except building mate q.
ii3l, which is being used as rapidly
as 1t arrives. showing that in the
building trades at least there is no
diminution of energy.
