POOR SANFRANCISCO
lVOTHER LONG LABOR WAR
IS In PROGRESS.
Ten Thousand Men Are Now Out and
Building viii Soon Be at a Stand
stilI-street Car Men Demand $500
Day and an Elght-Hour Shift
Company Says mo"

San Francisco. May 6-This city is
ogain in the throes of the bitter in
IdTstrial strife For the third time
since the disaster of a year ago, San
francisco is walking because of the
declaration of street car strike on
oil lines in the city by the Garments
nnion. the second strike of the carmen
within eight months Only two street
cars we're in operation in San Fran
cisco Sunday. These were permitted
70 run on the Union street line, which
extends from Van Ness avenue to the
presidio. This short road of 13
blocks was considered too insignifi-
can't by the carmen to be interfered
with. but not car moved on the many
lines of the United railroads, or on
the Geary or California street line.
Added to this tie-up of the street
cars is the strike of the telephone
Girls and that of 5000 iron workers.
Without transportation facilities and
with very much crippled and made
cuate telephone service, it is feared
that business will be almost at a
standstill.
The civic league has been very ac-
tive all day endeavoring to end the
strife and bring about a settlement OF
all the strikes by arbitration, but has
met with no success. A notice has
been posted by the United railroads at
all car barns giving the carmen until
Tuesday to return to work or consider
themselves discharged. Intense activ-
ity prevails at all the car barns and
all preparations made by the COM
many are indicative to a bitter and
determined fight.
This condition was brought about
by the action of the motormen and
conductors of the United railroads
when they voted to declare a strike
after having failed to obtain an 8-hour
Gay and a fiat wage Of IS.
In previous strikes of carmen III this
city, the California and eGary street
systems have continued operations,
subject to the settlement reached on
the United railroads, or the big sys-
TEN. But today the Geary and Cali
fcrnia street lines are still.
The mOtormen and conductors have
already been reinforced by the sta
tlonery tiremen, who have demanded
recognition of their union and an in
crease of wages from .$2.75 to 1925 per
cay It is very probable that other al
lied unions will come to the support of
the platform men.
A veteran member of the carmen's
union, who is opposed to the strike,
said today: "This means a fight which
will end the power of labor unions in
San Francisco. The men are beaten
before the battle opens"
President Calhoun said before the
strike and repeated today that his car
system would be run on the open shop
basis All employers who have eX-
pressed themselves are strongly III
sympathy with the company and many
union men condemn the carmen. Cal
houn has made all plans for a hard
battle. 1t is learned from an anthem
tic source that ne has behind him all
the power of the state and national
governments.
Everywhere there is. the same spirit
of opposition by employers to the I'M
ions.

NEW CORPORATIONS

What is almost certain 10 prove

last, when the Silver City Copper
company was organized. This was
effected by the election of G. {.

vice president, A. F. Kerr as secre
tary and treasurer. and the following
| board as directors: o. @. Human.
Max Schultz. w. b. Walton, Charles
A. Farnsworth. Samuel Allen and Z
A. Layne. The company Is incorpo''
| ated and Is capitalized at $2,50O,o 900
with shares of the par value OF $40
each. The Silver City Copper COM
PAW has secured the absolute con
troll of 300 acres of mineral lands In
the Santa Rita district, long known
az the copper district" and In which
at the present time expensive oper'
atoms are In progress by the Anal

General Electric company. Inc

two companies that Of the former

is already equipped with a concen'

Too many contingencies beset both the
