plan was to send to New York, Phiia-

expenses, and that IL any one got
caught he would hire attorneys for the
defense. I would no. agree and did not

the worker who Is alternating the hum
ger of thousands of the unemployed,
sent an urgent appeal to the people to
send word to him IL any large buildings
Or large contracts where unskilled
labor will be utilized are to be started
in the near future, either in the city
or in the surrounding country.
This appeal to the public Is made
that those in charge of the various
charitable institutions may understand
thoroughly the labor market and what
chances there are for giving the I'M
EMPLOYED work in the near future.
The measures for relief will have to
be based on this knowledge and plans
made accordingly
AS a result of the appeal made SUM-
day In the various churches many
small jobs We're given the men yester-
day. This. however, is but a tenn
porary relief and many sad cases of
large families with little or nothing to
live on. are being reported daily. Also
there was a good cash subscription
given in the churches. which will be
used to purchase supplies to feed the

him in feeding the large number daily

SHIP OWNERS TRY
FORCE ISSUE
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-THE
Shipowners' association of the Pacific
coast today attempted to force set
Element of the fight with the marine
engineers that has been going on Tor
over a month, by issuing the order
that all vessels under the control of the
association should discharge their Sec
ond assistant engineers as soon as the
vessels reached this port, and further
requiring that all vessels clearing from
San Francisco shall sail with two en-
gineers only. intsead of three.
The order resulted in the putting out
of commission of the steamer Jim But
Ter and long wrangle in the offices
OF United States inspectors Bowles and
Bulger over the number of men that
should sail in the engine room of the
William Murphy, bound for Eureka.
This latter dispute was finally settled
by the changing of the license of the
William Murphy to permit OF her sail
ing with two engineers, and the vessel
left poi. with but two in her engine
room.
The Jim Butler arrived several days
ago and this morning her owners
served notice upon Chief Engineer
Hans Olsen that he would be required
TO make his next trip with but one
assistant. The Butler sails for SOUND
points and the engineer Immediately
refused to take the vessel out under
the new rules.
After considerable discussion Olsen
and his first assistant, Carl HUSKY, left
the ship. Her owners have decided not
to send her out again until the present
controversy is settled.
Notwithstanding this activity on the
part of the shipowners to force the
marine engineers to a decision the en-
eineers announced that nothing will be
dohe until after the regular meeting
of the Marine Engineers association
on Tuesday night.
1t is extremely likely that at the
meeting the shipowners will be met
with their own proposition and that
the engineers committee will be in
structed TO arbitrat. the differences
between the two organizations upon
the indicated horse power of the ves-
sells, taken in conjunction with the
length Of trip the vessels are supposed
70 make.
