San Francisco, Nov. 5.--Bright and
clear, with not a trace Of fog in the
air, San Francsco's citizens awoke
this morning for what is said to be
the most vital election ever held in
her history.
Long before the average citizen
was up the party whips were out in
the streets and at the headquarters,
organizing their followers into line.

with lots of money in sight, We're
busy all night. Before dawn they
bad beaten Taylor odds TO even mon
ey on McCarty.
McCarty, as president of the build
ing trades council, had ordered all
building work suspended today and
the men took advantage of this hol-
iday by securing a late nap. This
made the vote slow getting out and
by $3.50 but few votes had been cast.
Ryan, although conceded third
place by both his opponents, express
ed great confidence in the result.
They are claiming that a great por-
tion Of the labor vote usually given
to Taylor Will he voted in Ryan's
favor. The McCarty people are ap-
parently absolutely sure of the union
labor victory.
They look for majority of 49,
600 votes, Taylor adherents do not
claim more than 6OOO majority, but
say this is a bedrock estimate.

CONTRACTORS TAKE ADVANTAGE Of LABOR

Portland contractors are taking
advantage of the financial condition
to reduce materially the wages of the
workmen employed by them. The
following excerpts from items in the
Portland papers this morning give an
insight into the situation. The stu
alton does not demand the decrease
and there is considerable dissatisfac-
tion both among the laboring men
and the people who have let con-
tracts.
WorlImen Quit.
Over 800 workmen quit work this
morning on the Board of Trade and
Beck buildings and the Oregon hotel
annex because of drastic cut in
wages made by the contracting engin-
eering company which has the general
contracts for the construction of these
buildings, says the Journal.
The reduction in wages as posted
at the Board of Trade building
amounts to from cents an hour for
common laborers, to 10 cents for
skilled workmen, which, is an average
cut of about 20 per cent. Bricklayers.
carpenters, cement workers and COM
mon laborers are affected by the re-
duction.
Under the new scale laborers that
formerly received 25 cents an hour
will hereafter be paid 90 cents; car
penters, whose wages were 40 cents,
will hereafter get 80 cents; the old
scale for cement workers was 45
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-05

cents, new scale S5 cents, while the
wages of bricklayers is reduced from
so cents to 40 cents an hour. The
new scale provides that all classes of
laborer on these buildings except
bricklayers will hereafter work nine
hours a day.
The tieup is practically complete
on the Board of Trade building, not
more than a dozen men engaged on
the structure, while last week fully
125 men were at work on the job.
A foreman at ona of these build
ings said that he had heard of no re-
duction in wages by any contractors In
the city and did not believe that any
reduction would be made elsewhere
on old contracts.
Says Wages Must Remain.
The action of one of the chief
building contracting firms in the city
in making a severe cut in wages of its
employees has met with much unfa-
vorable criticism L. Gerlinger who
Is having put up a six-story office
building at Second and Alder streets,
has notified his contractor that no re-
duction must be made In the wage
scale of the men employed on his
building.
Mr.. Gerlinger says that with bound
less prosperity on every hand little
financial furry should not be taken
advantage of to make reduction in
workingmens wages and that 1t will
not be permitted on his building.

This forenoon a general inspection
of the sanitary conditions within the
fire limits of the city was made by
DR.. w. G. Cole, city health officer.
accompanied by Mayor Fee, Council
man Murphy and Chief Of Police Cur
dane. During the same many things
were found that met with disfavor
and 1t is now announced that a gem
eral clean up of the business section
is to be demanded.
While a general tour of the center
of town was made most of the time
was devoted to the inspecting Of con-
ditions in Chinatown though the red
light district also came in for some
consideration. In the rear OF one
of the tenderloin joints two small
boys were found cutting wood. They
were ordered home by the mayor and
the landlady's attention was called to
the fact that bawdy houses are for
bidden to allow boys about their
places under any pretext.
In Chinatown the conditions were
found to be bad. Following the tour
Mayor Fee said:
1--WE found that in many places
the sleeping rooms We're only large
enough to bury a man in and there
was simply no means of ventilation
| whatever. This will be changed If we
can compel them to do so under the
general health and police regulations.
In several places we found that prop
er sewer connections had not been
made"
Main and Court street Easements
were also carefully inspected and
suggestions were made along the line
of cleaning up. Furthermore It is
said that better facilities for ventilat-
ing Easements will be insisted upon.
The butcher shops were also visit
ed and this afternoon the mayor
stated that an ordinance forbidding
the keeping of live poultry within the
fire limits will be drafted and pre-
sented to the council During the
summer months especially much COM
plant is made because of the practice
of keeping chickens and geese in
markets and grocery stores. 1t is now
proposed to forbid that practice and
also to stop the killing of poultry in
the retail shops.
The purpose of the tour this fore
noon was to start a general cleaning
up crusade before the winter sets in
and thus avoid the danger of sick
ness in the spring. The work Is not
to stop with the inspection tour this
morning. but instead further investi-
cations will be made within a few
days by DR.. Cole and Chief of Police
Gurdane to see that the instructions
have been complied with.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 5.-At the
general headquarters of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in this city
the officials are busy preparing for
the annual convention to be held at
Norfolk next week Apparently no
one at headquarters is worrying much
over the story sent out from New
York last night to the effect that a
fight is to be made at the Norfolk
convention to knock out the re-elec-
ton of President Gompers and the
present members of the executive
council.
That there is some dissatisfaction
In the ranks of the labor organiZa-
tions affiliated with the federation Is
not denied But It is believed to be
confined almost wholly to the So
cialistic element which has always
been more or less opposed to Presi-
dent Gompers and his policies and
which some 1S years ago succeeded in
effecting his removal from the pres
idency for one year.
ilt piSSShl iONiNul Vi 'iN
ment is said to be due largely to the
action OF President Gompers and the
executive council in suspending the
United Brewery Workers of Ameri-
ca for ignoring an order to surrender
jurisdiction over the engineers, fire
men, coopers and drivers in the
United Brewery Workers. Several
other labor organizations, especially
the unions with German members,
have declared their sympathy for the
Brewery Workers and have formed a
league with the avowed intention OF
getting President Gompers' scalp II
possible.
But in the opinion of practically
all of those well informed as to the
situation President Gompers is too
strongly entrenched in his position
to be ousted by the disgruntled ele-
ment. With the exception of one
year he has filled the office of pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor for 20 years and on the whole
the vast army of workers affiliated
with the organization appears to be
well satisfied with the way in which
he has conducted affairs.
