1900 METAL MEN
DROP TOOLS TODAY
Vote to Strike for 81 a Day Wage
and Eight-Hour Work
ing Day

The union machinists, patternmakers
and molders voted at meetings held
in the Union Labor temple last night
to strike this morning. A letter from
the Metal Trades council renewing
request for a conference with repre-
sentatives of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers association was sent to that
organization yesterday afternoon and
a request made that the Merchants
and Manufacturers association COM
municate with the metal workers at
their meeting last night.
The merchants and manufacturers
held meeting in the Wilcox building
and decided that there was no reason
for such a conference and failed to
communicate with the metal workers.
After discussing conditions in the
various shops and listening to ad-
dresses from prominent union men
from San Francisco and Chicago the
three organizations allied with the
Metal Trades council voted unani-
mously to strike this morning.
The strike will involve about 1900
men. None of them will go to work
this morning. Their demands are for
| a minimum wage scale of 81 a day and
an eight-hour working day. The offer
! of the Union Tool company of a nine
hour day with ten-hour pay was re-
fused by the workers at the meetings
| laSI nlSnl.
Besides the machinists, pattern
makers and molders the strike will in
| volve the molders, iron founders,
blacksmiths, boilermakers brasswork-
ers and sheet metal workers.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association adopted the following res
olution at its meeting: Whereas. this
city is confronted with industrial dis
turbances and unjust demands have
been made upon the employers, and
whereas the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association is pledged to the
privileges of industrial freedom and
open shops, therefore be it resolved
by the Merchants and Manufacturers
| association in mass meeting assembled
that we reaffirm our declaration of
principles as above stated and tender
to the employers our hearty moral and
if necessary our financial support
The speakers at the meeting of the
merchants and manufacturers last
night were c. H. Plummer, H. e.
Huntington, H. w. O'Melveny John
G. Mott, f. ]. Zeehandelaar, d. P. M.
Little and H. Miller.
Among the shops which will be af-
fected are the Union Iron works, the
| Baker Iron works and the Union Tool
company.

PROVISIONS FOR VOYAGE
TURNS TABLES ON
WOMAN DETECTIVE
Suspected Clerk Causes Arrest of
SIeuth for Passing Coun-
terfeit Bill

An amusing situation developed yes
terdaY as a result of the bogus $40
bills which have been floated among
Los Angeles merchants for several
days. Mrs. Grace Hilderbrand, private
detective, was thoroughly grilled by de-
tectives at central police headquarters,
on suspicion of passing bad money.
Mrs. Hildebrand is employed by the
N. B. Harris detective agency and yes
terday was directed to visit a drug
store in South Broadway with a
marked $40 bill to see if a clerk who
has been under suspicion for stealing
could be tricked The female detective
made the purchase and rendered a $40
bill in payment. The clerk scrutinized
the bill and, OBTAINING the woman, tele-
phoned to police headquarters for de-
tectives.
Mrs. Hildebrand was taken to police
headquarters, and the bill was found to
be one of the bogus kind which have
been circulated in Los Angeles. Mrs
Hildebrand was regarded as counter
feiter, and it was not until her en-
ployer, Harris, appeared and explained
the situation that she was released.
1t seems that Harris has been work
ing on the counterfeiting case and haC
one of the bills in his possession, wnicf
he unwittingly gave to his employe t
IlleLNG the lCob NetSC d5eAiiIoN tiAC III u6
clerk.
When all was explained Mrs. Hide
brand was released and Harris used the
better part of a genuine $40 bill buying
smokes and soda water for the detec-
tives.
Secret Service Officer w. L. Hazen
has a number of men working on the
counterfeiting case, and all merchants
have been warned as to their appear
ance, which resulted in the suspected
drug clerk trapping the detective in
stead of being caught himself.
The police believe the men who
fioated the counterfeit money have left
Los Angeles, although reports at police
headquarters show that many of the
bills were circulated in the beach
towns Sunday and Decoration day
Counterfeit $5 gold pieces are said to
be plentiful also.
AS a result of the unusual flood OF
counterfeit money, several cashiers, il
is said. who are not expert in detecting
spurious coins have lost their positions
in downtown business houses.
One cashier stated yesterday he did
not believe the spurious money had
ever been presented to him direct by
the criminal, but that in practically
every instance it was rendered by men
whom he knew to be "all right" This
would indicate that the money has been
scattered broadcast.

BANGOR, Me-, May 31,-Unprece-

them at the baccalaureate exercises in

reason that as a Boston clergyman

their approval if he cares to do So
The boys say if the president does

sorts to a Jimmy

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The spec
tacle of a United States senator break
ing into his own house was witnessed
by a few passersby on fashionable
Massachusetts avenue last night. The
senator had been guilty of trick COM
mon among those of more modest es-
tate He had forgotten his keys.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa was the
housebreaker. He had been with men,
bers of his family on a trip to Mount
Vernon. When he reached home he
found his keys missing.
The customary movements having
been devoted to an expression of his
views upon the contretemps, a. review
Of the situation, a fruitless ringing of
the bell and a discussion of ways and
means, the party repaired to the rear,
where Senator Dolliver finally sue
ceeded in jimmying open a window.
Boosted by his young son, he man
aged to get astride the sill and into the
house. 1t was then an easy matter to
admit the other members of the party.

EXIT THE PURITY
SQUAD AND ENTER
METROPOLITAN
Chief of Police Galloway Issues
Order That Shakes Up
His Department
FRICTION IN THE SERVICE
Only One Member of the Old Di-
vision Retained as Men,
ber of the New

III HE purity squad" which has
figured prominently and not al
Il ways satisfactorily in recent po-
lice court hearings. was yesterday
abolished by Chief of Police Alexander
Galloway. In its place the chief named
new metropolitan squad" which
will take over the duties of the purity
force. Only one member of the old
squad, Patrolman Stevens, is retained
upon the new.
Ora May for three years private sec
retary in the chiefs office, has been
made acting sergeant and placed in
command OF the squad. He has been
instructed to make duplicate reports OF
all matters connected with the squad $
work, one of which will 60 to Chief
Galloway direct and the other to the
captain in charge of the central station.
Around police headquarters this is In
terpreted to mean that hereafter the
chief himself, and not Captain Dixon,
will direct the operations of the squad.
FRICTION IN THE SERVICE
Chief Galloway's order coming only
a day after Captain DiXon's assign
ments for June had been bulletined,
and overruling DiXon's arrangements
in numerous instances, naturally Gre
ated considerable discussion among
the men connected with the depart
ment.
1t was said openly that the new or
der will result in making Captain
Dixon merely an official fgurehead,
with few duties more important than
answering telephone calls, and 1t was
predicted that the order possibly pre-
sages the transference of Dixon TO
the east side station and the recall OF
Captain Lenhausen from the east side
to headquarters.
Captain Dixon himself declined to
speak Of the matter or to discuss the
friction said to exist between himself
and the departments head. His
friends were not so reticent. 1t seemed.
however. to be generally admitted that
the changes ordered will have the ef
feet of lessening official discord,
whether Dixon goes from First street
or remains there.
Chief Galloway said last night that
the order had been issued for the good
of the service"
CHIEF To RUN THINGS
Men too long at this sort of work
grow rusty" he continued, "and 1 de-
cided a change all arQund would be a
good thing About 9le duplicate re-
ports, one win come direct to me. This
will mean that part CT the squad
work will be governed directly from
my office. 1 have put sergeant In
charge and L shall hold him personally
responsible to me for the work and the
conduct of the men assigned to duty
under him." g"
The chiefs order affects the follow
ing: Jarvis and Hackett will replace
Amman ond Windsor, taking charge of
the departments efforts to stamp out
gambling; Weiss and Kiersey will sue
ceed Clifford and Wyckoff, detailed on
liquor ordinance violations; Miller and
Walker, instead of Parker and Mack,
will be entrusted with the duty of
rounding up vagrants of both sexes;
Watson replaces Glenn and will work
with Stevens, the only member of the
old squad retained on the new, among
the negroes; Patrolmen Bowe and
Browning, who have had espionage
over the social evil, will again walk
beats.

SCOTT READY TO
. SEEK SOUTH POLE
Explorer to Use Auto with Spiked
Tires in Dash Across
the Snow Fields
Especial to The Herald)

LONDON, May 31.-Captain Scott's
expedition to the south pole is attract
ing more attention in England than
any similar voyage of discovery in
the past decade. Scott sails on his
hazardous journey in the course of a
few days and the work of loading his
vessel, the Terra Nova, has already
been completed under the direction of
Lieutenant Campbell.
Particular interest has been aroused
in the expedition by reason of the novel
experiments Scott will make in at
tempting the trip. He has had espe-
cially built for his dash over the ice
an automobile with spike-rimmed
wheels capable of travelling over ice
or snow fields and weighing little more
than the usual sledge. In this machine
he expects to get within fifty or sixty
miles Of the pole and to make the bal
ance of the journey on snowshoes. AT
one time he considered an aeroplane
for use in the final dash, but finally
gave it up after a few experiments at
flight.
On the last leg to the pole, after
abandoning the ice auto Scott will
take provisions and medicines weigh
ing less than ten pounds. All the pro-
visions he will carry will be in the
form of compressed food tablets. He
will also take instruments especially
constructed to give light weight. His
total equipment will weigh only about
one-eighth that which Commander
Peary had with him when he reached
the north pole.
Scott is a celebrated explorer and
Lieutenant Shackleton. who recently
made an unsuccessful dash for the
south pole, believes that the captain S
undertaking will be crowned with sue
cess. Shackleton has delayed an eX-
pedition he had planned, pending the
result of Scott's journey.
