sera tOr to hold a reception while
they shook his hand and offered con,
gratulations, a most happy scene con
Guiding weeks of earnest contest.

Sacramento, Cal, May 19.-Union
labor, almost as tyrannical here as In

setback. A big strike was inaugurated

the employers have won and open
shop is to be the rule.
Every steam laundry N this city
has resumed operations and the man
ayers declare that from now on the
machinery will be kept in motion
Mason's laundry was the last to fall
in line and this plant began work
yesterday.
One of the most important steps
ever taken by the managers, was that
arrived at Saturday night when they
all signed an agreement to hereafter
conduct open shops without discrim-
mating against any union person, but
absolutely disregarding any demands
made upon them by the union as a
body. In talking of the matter, James
Chirioni, of the Sacramento laundry;
W, Warner of the Cascade, and Mrs.
Mason, of Mason's laundry, all are OF
one mind.
We do not intend to hereafter
show the laundry workers union any
consideration and will conduct our
plants as we see fit. We have all sign.
ed an agreement to operate our laun-
dries as open shops and will give any
one that appliese a position. When
the workers went out they did not
show US and consideration, so why
should we now treat with them" said
Mr. Chirioni.
