UNION AND NON-UN|ON MEN
ENGAGE IN LABOR DAY FIGHT
TWO Men Are shot During Riot In san
Francisco, While Girls Take Hand
in Fight in ohio.

San Francisco.--Monday, Labor Day,
Several men were wounded, one prop
ably fatally. during a riot which oc-
curred shortly before noon on Market
street near the ferry landing. The
riot was precipitated by an attack on
a non.union inspector CT the united
Railroads and was participated in by
several thousand people.
The parade of the labor unions anil
lated with the Building Trades Council
had Just been dismissed at the corner
of Main and Mission streets and q
large crowd was waiting at the ferry
to 90 across the bay to Shell MOUND
Park, where literary exercises and
athletic games were part of the day
program. For some cause not clearly
understood but believed to have been
the running of a street car close t.
the assembled people, an attack was
made on Inspector J. w. Hall, who
was starting the cars for the United
Railroads.
Fearing the rush of the angry crowd,
Conductor James Watkins and Motor
man f. L. Duston of Sutter street car
No. 1915. drew their revolvers and
fred into the mob. This infuriated the
crowd still more, and the fighting soon
extended along Market street from
the ferry to the junction of Sansome
and Sutter streets, a distance of about
seven blocks.
When one of the union men was ar
rested the crowd attempted to rescue
him, throwing bricks and stones at
the officers. The mob was finally
driven away from the station.
Car No. 1915 had proceeded as far
as Sutter street, followed all the way
by a hooting crowd of men and boys
who bombarded it with bricks and
other missiles. At this point the crew
of the car agai discharged their re-
volvers in self-protection and John
Peterson received a serious wound in
the groin. The conductor and motor
man are under arrest.

Curious legends aud curses hang
about houses and families. In one
case a belief was current that the
owners OF a particular place would
never have male heirs to succeed them
in direct line. The house was sold
twice to different owners, and the
curse always came true. The present
proprietor has only daughters and nc
male relative TO continue the line
These are, no doubt, condolences but
they are c.,rlous nevertheless, and

Legislative Problems.

While the State Legislature
now in session will not have the
perplexing question of selecting
a United States Senator to deal
with, Gumber of very important
and trying matters will demand
consideration.
Foremost and most important
is the question of consolidating
the University of Utah and the
Agricultural College. support
ers of both sides are working
hard either for or against and the
legislature can hardly avoid act
ing directly on this matter.
Whether consolidation is
brought about or not, it is very
probable that the present method
of appropriating irregular
amounts of money for higher
educational purposes will be
abolished and in its stead GER
tain rate of tax will be set aside
for their maintainence. This
would do away with lobbying
in the legislature for appropri-
atoms, and provide for regularity
and uniformity in the finances Of
the institutions, which is most
desirable condition.
In making this change a strong
pull will be made to include the
high schools of the state in the
system of bencfciaries. At pres.
ent they are wholly supported by
the localities in which they
have been established, making
the burden heavy and dscourag,
ing, as a result, the establish.
ment of high schools.
Without recommending any
definite action, we expires,
the hope that these educational
questions may be considered free
from their influence on party
politics, and wholly with refer
ence to the future educational
welfare of the state and the
economic use of the state fund,
for such purposes.
