planned tonight that the reorganization.

strength of the personnel of the mint
there had been almost adjusted to the
new conditions.
: The number OF employees has been
gradually reduced from time to time
during the last year, with the least pos
sible disturbance and without any con-
siderable number OF discharges.
For the last year or more. places be-
coming vacant in the mint by death,
resignation or from other causes have
not been filled, and In this way the
number of employees has been reduced
slowly to meet the new conditions
brought about by the practical suspen-
sion of the coinage OF gold pieces
throughout the country
The suspension of the coming Of gold
is the result of a law enacted by the
sixty-hrs congress that permits the
secretary of the treasury. to issue gold
certificates against deposits of gold
bullion instead of requiring the secre-
;tary to have the gold coined and then
issue certificates against the coin BY

~ AN MATEO. Sept. 13.-Refusing
~ to consider trifiins reduction in
\ railroad rates tentatively offered
by Charles s. Fee of the Southern
Pacific company, the board Of governors
of the San Mateo County Development
association today directed Attorney
unjust discrimination before the state
railroad commission.
At a meeting held In the city hall
last night it was decided to fire the
first gun in the legal fight which will
be waged by the local promotion or
ganization to procure for the peninsula
lower rates for suburban transporta-
tion and change in mileage as 1t
stands on the time tables of the South
ern Pacific company.
After several weeks of negotiations
the development association has an
nounced the failure of the railroad COM
pany to accede to the demands of the
people of San Mateo county for re-
duction in fares. The association has
issued an open statement in which 1t
urges the citizenship of the county to
cooperate in the work ahead.
Transbay Rate Lower
The details have been made public of
a conference held with Charles S. Fee
in San Francisco last Wednesday, when
the Southern Pacific official refused to
offer more than a slight change in the
local passenger tariff. The develop
ment association was represented at
the meeting by President William A.
Brewer of Hillsborough. Vice President
w j. Martin of South San Francisco.
G. ]. McGregor Of Rurlingame. Captain
H. N. Royden of San Mateo and H. G.
Tuchsen of Redwood City.
The local committee pointed out that
the Southern Pacific's rate to South
San francisco is $3.50 Communication and
so cents single fare, while for an
equal distance across the bay the tar
if is So communication with a single fare
of 10 cents.
The report of the committee quotes
Fee as saying: cit is not fair to take
the charge from San Francisco to Mel
rose in Alameda county as basis for
comparison with the rates down the
peninsula. You ought to take as q
basis the mileage and fare to central
point, say Broadway and Seventh street
as an average point"
False Mileage Charged
Fee aroused the ire of the committee
men when he declared that he did not
suppose that the peninsula until with
in the last three years wanted to de-
velop. President Brewer replied that
the railroad officiars belief was based
on misinformation.
At the conference, the COMMITTEES
openly accused the Southern Pacific of

Endorsement on the republican ticket
with the standard bearer had an OPP
portunity to appear upon the platform
with him, and during the long wait
while Rolph was making the rounds
of half dozen other meetings various
candidates for supervisor and other
Offices made brief addresses. 1t was
a party meeting, but not partisan
meeting, and every candidate who
spoke to the 1000 or more persons in
the hall dwelt upon Rolph's candidacy
rather than upon his own.
All Parties Represented
Republican. democratic and union
labor party leaders were all represented
among the vice presidents on the plat
form. Rolph commented in the opening
part of his speech upon the fact that
there was seated at his side Captain
Erickson. boarding master of the Sail
ors union and secretary of the Fisher
mems union. with which organiza tions
Rolph has been in the closest touch and
harmony during all his business life.
While Rolph's candidacy was the
primary theme of every speech, Rolph
was not alone the recipient Of a cordial
welcome from the audience. Ralph
Hathorn. candidate for district at
torney. was given a magnificent ova-
tion.
The cheering that greeted Hathorn's 5
introduction by Chairman Daniel Ryan
redoubled when he was presented with
a great bouquet of American Beauty
roses by little girl lifted to the stage
from the audience, and it was only
after several minutes of applause and
a final volley of three cheers that he
was permitted to proceed with his
speech.
The audience contained a large pro-
portion of women, and over the center
OF the stage was hung the banner of
the James Rolph wonan's club. Near
this was another banner containing the
promise. The fighting thirty ninth will

Ryan made a forceful speech in be-
half Of Rolph and the candidates in

the same time commenting without
any mincing of words upon the broken
promises of the present administration.
