months, it was stated, Bauman had
been forging the firms name to checks
and issuing checks to persons and corr

to-the payees forged their Endorsements
and cashed the checks himself The
operations began in December last and

whereabouts has not been discovered
The suit of the Wilson's is directed

FUREY QUITS OFFICE

After an all-night meeting of the
unions representing 5000 men afiliated
with the Iron Trades Council of this
city on Monday night 1t was definitely
decided to demand on May / an eight
hour day, and strike if II were not
granted No question of wages is in

The strike would be a stubborn one
II entered upon and would put a check
upon the industrial prosperity conse-
quent upon San Francisco's REBUILDING
Chief among the larger concerns to
be affected by the demand for a shorter
workday are the Union Iron Works.
the Fulton Iron Works and the Risdon
Iron Works. It is expected that the
smaller concerns, which do a repair
business almost entirely, will concede
the union demand
1t is contended by the employers that
they cannot compete successfully with
Eastern concerns which have a nine
hour day If the unions force the issue
The union men reply that in the large
Eastern manufacturing centers an
eight-hour day is 10 be demanded
simultaneously with the Western de-
mand. They point to the fact that by
far the larger part of the work done
on the coast is not subject to Eastern
competition, because it is repair work
and claim that the contracts obtained
by the local concerns would be let here
just the same, because transportation
facilities are so slow and uncertain
and freight rates so high as virtually
to shut out Eastern competition.
The meeting was well attended
nearly every member answering to his
name.
President ]. ]. Furey rendered his
resignation. He said he wished to be
relieved of the responsibilities or the
Office because of the scandal attending
the accusations of graft and dishonesty
made against him. He denied the truth
of these charges, but said he did not
care to place the union in position
where it might suffer a loss of pres

and Vice President e. Misner succeeded
