Der of the faculty of the San Francisco
seminary at San Anselmo,
the leading Presbyterian educational in

exact Oakland scale, rising from 80
cents to 40 cents, according to years of
seniority, would not be acceptable to
the union. as 1t would mean that 65
per cent of the men would receive 10
cents per week less than at present,
but that II Calhoun would agree to
rate the men now I'm the employ of
the company so that. they would re-
ceive not less than at present they
thought the Oakland scale might be
accepted.
WOULD SEVER RELATIONS
This suggestion was definitely re-
fused by Calhoun, who then said
Il am extremely anxious. to avoid
strikes. but 1 think that the members
of the. union ought to understand that
I said at a meeting of the executive
committee OF the amalgamated street
railway employees Of America a few
weeks ago in Detroit. at which meet
ing Cornelius was present, that if the
union in San Francisco refused to ac-
cept the result of the award, of the
board of arbitration, of which Chief
Justice Beatty was efrafrrnan, and
struck, that the relations between the
company and the Union would be per-
manently severed"
Nonrecognition of the union Is seri-
Gus point with the carmen. who are
confronted with three alternatives:
Either to accept the scale of 81, 80
and sS cents per hour, or to accept the
Oakland scale of from so to 40 cents
per hour, according to years of SER
vice, or to strike and incur the penalty
of permanent nonrecognition. as we'll
as entering. upon a conflict which many
of them believe -s~esld be i'll advised
and disastrous.
The executive committee of the car
men will meet tonight to discuss this
situation and frame its recommends
tions to. the full unf5n.
The leaders are between two fires.

ton viii put down their instru-

aaors waited upon the company
Yesterday morning with a request
that the. scale of. pay,.whicll now
runs from S28 to S45 and $50 a

"a hours in which to reach de-
cision. The girls will hold a mass
meeting tonight and if by that
time a favorable reply has not
been received from the company
Etlle girls will vote to strike. AS
the long distance operators are In
yolved. a strike in San Francisco would
tie up a large part: Of the coast system.
+ The crisis has come after a series OF
conferences in which the officials of
the telephone company have stated that
they had granted as much as they
could.
COMPLAINTS OF OPERATORS

forced them TO sign: papers against

designations from the union. !.

10 the Editor-Dear Sir:
| came to this country from the State
of Wisconsin three years ago. and must
say that | am greatly pleased with the
outlook in this Western country. For
my own part ! am entirely satisfied
with the progress I have made since
crops of grain OF all varieties. Last
season my wheat averaged 23 bushels
OF wheat to the acre, oats GO and bar
ley 40.
We had a splendid garden this year.
rirening successfully tomatoes. musk
melons. water melons, sweet corn. and
kindred sorts.
The country is we'll adapted to wheat
growing and mixed farming. and to my
mind it is the best country under the
sun for Il man with n family and small
means, as 1t is possible for Il man to
farming operations with
much less capital than is required in
the older settled countries.
The climate is all thai. could be de-
sired. being very healthy AMI inviyo-
rating.
My wife came ont about six months
ago. and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home. she has enjoyed
the best OF health since coming here.
In short. | am more than satisfied
with the land of my adoption. and I
am also satisfied with the laws Of the
country.
