JURY CoNVICTS STRIKER
IN ANTI-PICKETING CASE
San Francisco Attorneys Defend
Union Men

Within few minutes after they had
received instructions from the court, a
jury in Police Judge Williams court
late yesterday afternoon returned a
verdict of guilty as charged against
B. c. Guyer, a striking iron worker.
Guyer was arrested by Patrolmen
Weiss and Miller at Temple and New
High streets on July %. He was al
legged to have applied vile epithets to-
ward w. S. Miller, strikebreaker
working on the federal building. This
afternoon at o'clock was the time
set for him to be sentenced
Only ten jurors were selected to try
Guyer. That number had been drawn
from a Venire of fifty men when the
noon adjournment was taken and, as
the Venire had been exhausted, attor-
neys for the prosecution and defense
stipulated to try the case with only
that number.
Two attorneys from San Francisco,
who are representatives of organized
labor in that city, were associated with
Fred Spring, who has been retained by
the local unions to defend Guyer. They
were George Appel and Austin Lewis.
Only two arrests were made yester-
day for alleged violations of the picket
ing ordinance. They were Owen Con-
cannon and Peter Casalander, but, ow-
ing to an error made in the complaints
by clerks In the city prosecutors Of
flee, the charges were dismissed.

months William C. Lewis, a laborer,
so years old, was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital yesterday, suspected of
insanity.
Patrolman Hilf was called to Lewis
house at GIG Crocker street, where the
man was threatening to kill every
member of his family and was parad-
ing up and down the street yelling at
the top of his voice. Only after a
hard struggle was Lewis overpoWered
by the officer and taken to the hos
pital. He was Immediately recognized
by Assistant Police Surgeon Carter as
having been in the hospital twice be-
fore on charges of Insanity. Each time
he was taken before the lunacy COM
mission and after an examination he
was discharged, only to return to the

An application was made to Judge
Houser chairman of the commission,
yesterday by one of Lewis sons, but
the former refused to issue it upon the
grounds that Lewis had been declared
sane by the commission.
A charge Of disturbing the peace was
placed against him and he was placed
in jail. He will have a hearing before

CIVIL SERVICE RULE
COSTS JANIT0R'S JOB
Working Student of Occidental
College Victim of Red Tape
Procedure

One of the ironies of civil service Is
Haney, one of the city hall janitors.
Haney must lose his job, not because
of inefficiency, but because he was the
last man appointed in the janitor serv-
ice
Haney is the only white man en-
ployed in janitor work at the city hall.
He is &c years old, and James Smith,
assistant custodian of the city hall,
who has charge of all the janitors,
says he is by far the most efficient OF
the whole lot He is a student at
Occidental college and is trying to fit
himself for the ministry.
At the same time he has a widowed
mother to support and he has to do
some kind of work that Will produce
an income. He chose that of 1anitor
at the city hall because the work Is
done late at night and early In the
morning and the daytime hours he has
for study.
Recently he was injured by a large
truck on which he and Custodian Smith
were moving some books and is con-
fined to his home. The council recog-
nized his usefulness to the city by set
ting aside a fund to pay his salary q
S55 a month during the time he rs
unable to work.
But the budget reported by the
finance committee last Tuesday re-
duces the janitor's force by one man,
as the appropriation is not large
enough to pay all the men now en-
ployed. Civil service rules require that
when, for lack of funds or any other
reason. II is necessary TO drop an en-
ploye, the last one engaged must be
the one to go. Mr.. Smith is trying
every way possible to keep Haney on
his staff, but an appeal to the civil
service commission yesterday produced
no relief.
