Henry A. Buchtel III his Memorial
Day address to veterans of the Civil
War last night. The chief executive
of the state agreed with President
Roosevelt, whom he quoted to the eff
feet that the idle rich should be
knocked in the head. These strong
words caused the veterans to sit up
and take notice.
Mr.. Buchteps subject was "The
Character of Roosevelt" The church
was crowded with veterans. The at
tack on the rich made by the gov
ernor for the moment made the veter-
ans turn their thoughts from the day
to the conditions of the present time
The reference to death for the idle
rich" was made in a story of a
wealthy student. His professor asked
him what he intended to do when he
finished college. The young man re-
piled:
do you know, professor, there does
not appear to be anything in the
world quite worth while"
when President Roosevelt wa:
told this" the governor continued
he arose, pounded his fist on tn,
table and said:

FIRST RIFT IN CLOUDS.
Strike of 10000 Ironworkers in San
Francisco Is Settled.

San Francisco, June 1.-The first
rift in the cloud of strikes and unset
tied labor conditions which has over
Swallowed San Francisco for many
weeks occurred today, when the strike
of 10000 ironworkers was amicably
settled. The men went out several
weeks ago to enforce demand for an
eight-hour workday and an increase in
wages. This resulted in closing the
Union Iron Works, the Fulton Iron
Works and all the foundries, machine
shops and iron works, not Only in San
Francisco, but in all the bay cities.
The settlement was brought about
by the active work of a Cancellation
committee composed of delegates from
the commercial organizations, the fed
Grated churches, Civil League and
peace committee of the Labor Council.
The men return to work ueon the
same conditions of hours and wages as
prevailed when they struck, and which
shall remain in effect for Is months.
The committee from the Metal
Trades Association, representing the
employers, conceded that commencing
December /, 1908, there shall be a re,
duction of Is minutes in the workday
every six months until an eight-hour
day is reached June l, 1910, which
shall be in effect thereafter.
