SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-May1
or Taylor, in statement to the As
sociated Press tonight, said that bel
fore accepting the mayoralty offei
yesterday afternoon he took counse
of Chief Justice Beatty of the su
preme court.
When Mr.. Langdon and Mr..
Spreckels asked me to assume the
| Office" said DR.. Taylor, 81 had first
to determine whether an acceptance
would seriously interfere with my
work as dean of the Hastings College
of Law. or that institution the chief
justice is trustee. We discussed it
in some of it's phases Justice Beatty
assured me an acceptance was prac-
ticable so far as my college work
was concerned, and | may almost say
that he urged me to take the office.
The declaration by President p. II.
Mccarthy of the Building Trades
Council, reported in these dispatches
last night, that organized labor had
nothing to do with the election of
Mayor Taylor and would not coop
crate with him in his administration
of the city's affairs, was laid before
DR.. Taylor and he was asked if he
desired to make a reply He said:
"Mr. Mccarthy was a member with
me of the charter trainers conven-
tion and | know him WELL l do not
wish to criticise his statement. Let
me say, moreover, that a clean ad-
ministration of the city's affairs
should be, especially at the present
time, of uppermost importance in the
minds of all men who have the gem
eral welfare of the city at heart.
"My attitude towards union labor
unions is, briefly this: | believe in
labor unionism. | believe that any
country is better off with labor un-
ions than without them, for the rea-
son that to them is due the great bet
terments in the conditions of wage
earners. Hence, | say that despite
the unjustifiable eXcesses that not in
frequently attend the administration
of labor unions, | believe in them
They are not always wisely managed,
they do enfold in their membership
some bad men, but do we condemn
the church because some pastorates
are unworthily filed. and rascals
hide in some congregations? Scarce
ly!
"Where is the necessity, nay where
is the justification for raising class
issue in this decade-seriouS and del
icate time? Do we not, all of us.
rather desire more that order be
restored and municipalities be lifted
up? | most sincerely trust and be-
leve that we do abhor class dis
tinction. | abhor class distinction,
class administration. The law does
not recognize it. our theory of gov
ernment does not tolerate it,
Mayor Taylor has not yet made up
his mind to the selection of any of
the sixteen supervisors he will pres
emily be called upon to appoint
names are galloping through my
mind" is the way he put it this eve
ming, "and pretty soon some of them
will stick"
In the presence of newspaper men
at his home in California street half
| block from Temple Israel where the
bribery-graft trials are in progress,
| the new executive opened tall stack
of letters and kilograms of felicita-
tions from this and other countries
and now and again he smiled quiz
| zically at a job-seeking epistle. Two
are asking for supervisorial appoint
ment.
District Attorney Langdon re-
marked:
81 have not anything to tell, do
not know anything-this fact makes
me happy. The big stick is no
more. | have not even a fragment
to offer you as souvenir. A lot of
Job hunters ran me down today. but
I shunted them off gently in the di-
rection of Mayor Taylor"
