SHOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE ICE
MANI"
CuSSed and Discussed. He Should be
Popular, Is He!


First, how did YOU happen to have
an ice man? AS you know, our rice
mill runs but six or seven month s
during the year, and being DESTROYS
to give steady employment to our men,
as we'll as to bring a new and much
needed enterprise to our town, we put
in the plant. AT the time the plant
was installed fuel oil cost about forty
cents per barrel,
What does it take to make ice?
fuel and water. Water, like air, is
cheap, providing you do not wish to
change the temperature; then it's a
fuel proposition. AS stated: when
the plant was installed, oil cost about
forty cents per Darrell; now it costs
LAO per barrel.
We found the rice milling season
and the ice season would conflict, SO
that it was necessary to take the men
from the ice plant to the mill before
the close of the ice season, and as you
know, sold the ice plant to 0. S.
Carr and Sons, and at the time we
sold to them, with the low price of
fuel oil, the plant could be run and
ice sold at fifty cents per hundred
weight, but with the advanced price OF
oil they could not make the plant pay,
and turned same back to US. Profit
ing by their experience, we advanced
the price of ice to where we believed it
would justify the price Of fuel oil.
We have been studying the situa-
ton and planning how we night re-
duce the expense of the fuel and make
ice at forty or fifty cents per hundred
weight, The average consumption of
ice being only about two and one-half
tons per day, an ice plant can not be
operated at fifty cents per hundred
weight with the present price of fuel
oil and pay expenses, no matter what
kind or size of plant used. We Op-
crate our plant on eight barrels of
oil for twelve hours, thus the cost OF
operating per day is as follows:

Guided cost of repairs, machine oil or
any of the incidentals which come
along every day.
Two ways we hope to cut down the
expense Of operating:
First. We believe if the town can
expeud u reasonable amount for
lights and the people generally would
take lights, we would put in plant
and operate the ice plant at night
while making lights. TO be sure, a
light plant of itself. would not pay,
but in our opinion there is no one
hing that will do as much toward at
tracting people to our town as lights
and good walks.
Second. We have increased the ca
pacty OF our mill one-half and find

20 CG..z1 ice Chaff for Running
Ice Plant.

In a recent interview with +. d.
Calkins, President Of the Gulf Rice
Milling Company, he says that since
they have put in their improved ma
chInery they are enabled to mill fifty
per cent more rice than they did last
year, without utilizing any more
power. AS result, they are making
much more chat than they are burn
ing, requiring two men to haul it awav
from the chaff house. Mr.. Calkins is
contemplating two methods for pre-
serving this excess of chaff. Ore is,
storing it in large chat house and
the other is the securing of a machine
for pressing it into blocks that can be
preserved and used when needed. In
either case, the preservation of this
fuel is an economic problem that is
worthy the careful attention of mill
owners.

BOWLING STILL AT POST
False Rumor Is Started That He Alb
seconded With Funds

A rumor was started yesterday that
Secretary Treasurer James H. Bowling
of the carmen's union had absconded
with many thousands of dollars. 1t
was stated that the shortage had been
discovered when the funds of the car
men were transferred to the newly ap-
pointed strike campaign committee a
day or two ago.
The spreading of the canard was at
tributed by Bowling as well as by
President Cornelius to the agencies
which. they claimed, have been at
work ever since the strike began to
discredit the union and inspire distrust
and unrest among the members of the
union.
The following statement was issued
by the general strike campaign COM
mittee last night:
so many erroneous and vicious ru-
mors have been circulated recently for
the purpose of discrediting the work
of this committee and discouraging the
men and women on strike and mislead-
ing the public that plain statement
of facts may be in order.
First. all organized labor in this
city and state is unit and has guaran-
teed its moral and financial support to
the carmen, the telephone operators
and 1inemen until their strikes are sat
isfactorily settled.
Secondly, strike benefits and neces-
sary relief will be paid. and not wages.
as has been reported regularly to
those who are entitled to them.
Third, all moneys contributed for
the benefit of the strikers go into the
general fund. every cent of which is
accounted for and disbursed under the
supervision of the finance committee.
The money is kept in a safe deposit
vault at the Mission bank, which can
not be opened at any time unless three
members of the finance committee are
present. Financial statements are
made to the general committee at its
daily meetings and the books and ac-
counts are audited every evening. No
bills are paid except on order of the
finance committee. and President Cor
nelius and SecretaryTreasurer Bow
ling are working without any salaries
or compensation

CALHOUN is PLEASED

President Calhoun of the United Rail-
roads said last night that the company
was we'll satisfied with the manner in
which the public was increasing pa
tronage of the different lines and that
cars would begin to run in Sutter street
this morning at 4:S0 and night serv-
ice would be maintained north of Mar
ket street up to 11:30 o'clock.
Calhoun and other off1cials of the
company declare that the increased
traffic on the cars is certain in6ica-
tion that the backbone of the strike
is effectually broken. They point out
that public fear OF acts OF violence is
diminishing even In the Mission district
and that the cars there will be patron
lied almost as generally as they were
before the strike in less than another
week
The entire service of the company
win be in operation on regular schedule
by that time, including the all night
cars. it is announced. Another con-
tingent Of $50 or 500 employees from the
east is expected to arrive in five or six
days.

that the company was preparing to
adopt new uniforms for the platform

The kind we like best Of the uni
forms thus far shown us are of olive

worn by the policemen in the burned
district. The coats will be cut in mill
tary fashion and the caps will be mod
eled after those now worn by army

yam street station. 1t was opened yes
terday morning and was found to con-
tain nothing but sand. An investigation

that he would rather have his enmity
than his good will. He said that be
was not drawing any salary from the
