CITY ATTORNEY DIRECTED
To DEFEND COUNCILMAN
Council Adopts Resolution Con-
demning Suit to Gust
Him from Office

CITY Attorney Hewitt was instructed
Yesterday by resolution adopted by the
city councils to appear in behalf OF
Councilman williams before the attor-
ney general of California and resist
the proceedings which have been In
itiated in an effort to oust Councilman
williams from the city council.
Recently it was asserted that Coun-
Gilman Williams is interested in a
contract with the board of library di-
rectors, having rented place to the
city for use as a branch library, and
that this was violation of a charter
provision. The council investigated
and now asserts that the charge Is
merely IAN attempt to embarrass and
annoy a worthy public official" The
resolution follows:
THE RESOLUTION
whereas, An application has been
made to the attorney general by
certain persons for leave to bring
an action to oust George Williams,
a. member of the council, from his
office on the alleged ground that
he is interested in a contract with
the board of library directors; and
Whereas, the council has investi-
gated the facts regarding said mat
ter, the circumstances attending
the same being publicly known;
and the council Is convinced that
the purpose of said proposed suit
is to embarrass and annoy a
worthy public official and the
council in the proper discharge of
their public duties, and the same is
not proposed for the benefit of the
city; and
Whereas, it appears to the coun-
Gil that there is no proper basis in
fact for said proceedings, and that
the objects thereof are without
merit;
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved
that the city attorney be and he Is
hereby authorized and directed to
appear in said proceedings before
the attorney general for George
Williams and to take any and all
steps that may be necessary to
properly attend to his interest as a
member of this council IN said pro-
posed action.

METAL WORKERS
OBEY INJUNCTION
Absence of PiCketS from Foun-
dries PIeaSeS Members
of Employers Assn.
UNION NOW HAS A LARGE FUND
international Organizer Says the
Men Are Paid for Taking
Needed Rest
UNION NOW HAS A LARGE FUND

A calm settled over the controversy
between the metal trades strikers and
their employers yesterday. Whether
it was calm previous to a renewal
of the storm Is not known. Accord
ing to William B. Hoswell, secretary
of the Founders and Employers as
socation, the reports from the foun-
dries showed that the number of men
who went to work yesterday was
larger by three than the number who
quit work.
There was little picketing about the
shops as a result of the temporary re-
straining order issued Monday even
ing by Judge Bordwell on complaint of
the Baker iron works, 1t was claimed
at the offices of the Founders and
Employers association.
No additional intunctions were is
sued yesterday, although 1t is planned
by the employers to have about sixty
five prepared. Owing to the absence
of pickets and loiterers at the shops
yesterday, the employers say that they
feel that there is no necessity of any
special rush in getting out the In
functions. However. attorneys for the
employers are rounding out a number
of the injunctions which will be Is
sued today.
When asked last night what effect
Sucn 1nJunctlOnS WOulu nave Oh the
strike situation, Stewart Reid, inter-
national organizer of the American
Federation of Labor, replied:
"None whatever. An injunction asks
only for obedience of the law, and that
is exactly what we wish. We have
employed no boisterous methods, intim-
idations or any of the other means
which the injunction is framed to pre-
vent. We do not care to fight by any
other than perfectly lawful methods.
"The men are taking a much needed
vacation" continued Reid about
1900 are out now. Furthermore, they
are getting paid for taking their vaca-
tion and thev are willing to continue
on the outing indefinitely"
A mass meeting of the strikers and
their friends was held yesterday
morning in the auditorium of the La
Dor Temple. George Gunrey, manager
of the general strike fund.- made re-
port and stated that enough money Is
on hand and enough more has been
promised to keep the strikers in funds
for months.
Mr. Hoswell said yesterday after
noon that the employers are very much
encouraged by the issuance of the in
functions. He declared that number
of the men who are now out and who
have been afraid to return to their
work because of intimidations will now
return without delay.

ORIENTAL BANQUET IS
RENDERED STORE CHIEF
Return of M. A. Hamburger Is
Marked by Elaborate Program
Arranged by Employees

With Oriental features of splendor,
entertainers both American and of the
Orient, and a menu of Oriental dishes
which riValed the most fastidicus ORR
entail feast, M. A. Hamburger, president
of A. Hamburger & Sons, was well
coined home last evening by the en-
ployes of Hamburgers department
store with a banquet In his honor in
the Hamburger cafe.
The banquet room was decorated with
Japanese lanterns, strung over the
three long tables, and flags. At one
end was a stage, over which large
American flag was draped. On this
stage during the banquet entertainers
appeared and made merry:
The program as arranged was In four
surprises. The first OF these was Nine.

popular airs and gave some rather
difficult limitations.
The second surprise was indeed sur
prise, and consisted of Frank Fogarty,
the Irish comedian who is appearing
at the Orpheum this week. Mr.. Fogar-
ty literally brought down the house
with his clever stories and recitations,
and was called to the stand time and
again by the applause.
The third surprise returned the ban
queters to the Orient. The entertainers
we're the Wanatabee sisters, members
of a prominent local Japanese family,
who made their first appearance in
public last evening in a number of ma
tive dances. The final surprise was
even more startling than the third,
consisting as 1t did of the royal Chi
nese orchestra from Los Angeles Chi
natown, in a number of their native
selections
During the intermissions between the
different acts the Franco-S Spanish La
dies orchestra rendered selections.
