SCHWAB HITS At
LABOR UNIONS IN

One Year There Because
of Them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-In ar
address delivered ct the Rotary Cluf
Charles NJ. Schwab, head of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation. last night at
tributed the present condition of Ameri-
al shipping to what the termed the
incomprehensible ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission" which
compels transcontinental railroads to
publish their divisions of freight
charges with o-cean-carriers. Because
OF this ruling. he declared, 1t was pos
sible for steamers Of foreign registra-
ton to quote through rates and under
bid the American companies.
Another portion of Mr.. Schwab's
speech was devoted to labor unions. In
part he said:
Never again will any sane. conserva-
tive business man build a ship here
until the labor situation has materially
changed. I lost 49, 900, 900 in n year
because of the attitude of union labor,
Only concerted action by all the mer-
chants involved will relieve the situ-
alton. Until that is done San Fran
cisco will not assume the position that
is ,rightfully hers in the commercial
world"
AS Mr.. Schwab had just announced an
investment of 1000, 900 here in the ex-
tension of the Union Iron Works, his
remarks were received with the gravest
attention.

quests Of Sheriff William Harrigan that
had been Endorsed by the finance COM
mittee and recommended for adoption.
Ono was the increase of salary OF his

the other was the new private secre-
taryship at 81. 800 a year.
Both were knocked out by a vote Of

though two Democratic freeholders
were absent. their presence would not
have changed the results, as the tie
vote would have also meant the knock
out OF the requests.
There was no discussion over the
