Suggestion for Industrial Peace
Conference FaUored an Frisco.
LRv relegraph . The Trlbune. ]


San Francisco. June 22.-The suggestion for
peace conference here on July is to settle the
differences between capital and labor which
have proved so costly TO San Francisco trade
has met with much favor. Secretaries Metcalf,
Straus and Garfield. Of the Cabinet, have agreed
TO take part in the conference. an1 Governor
Gillette of California will preside. This con-
ference is the result of the active wori; of the
Cancellation committee from various local bodies.
1t is hoped that with representatives from all
the large trade and labor organizations some
working basis of agreement may be reached
which will end the present labor troubles and
which will establish arbitration board by
which future disputes may be settled. 1t is also
expected that there may be organized a Cali
fornia branch OF the National Civic Federation.
The appointment of James L. Gallagher as
Acting Mayor by the District Attorney has al
ready been outlined by the graft prosecution, so
that a convicted boodler succeeded by an un-
convicted boodler who owes immunity to a full
confession created no surprise. Gallagher may
be counted on TO do exactly what the prosecu-
ton orders him to do, but II is not expected that
his tenure of Office will be long. When the
prosecution can induce a really able and prom
inent man to accept the Mayors chair the Su-
pervisors will be called upon TO elect him, and
GALLAGHER will once more take his place Su-
