"The giant of labor is not yet fully
awake. We have done our duty in
making the fight, and those of us who
have given our lives to the work of
helping to improve conditions for the
toiler and the wage-earner will hence
forth but redouble our efforts. In the
end, when the SHARES and pitfalls of
the opposition are patiently and sys-
tematically overcome, labor will be
alive to its rights and it's opportuni-
ties, and the country will be the better
for it.
This is a land of free men and
women, but the giant force of Priv
ilege and Big Business has tied a
string to that freedom. Our sister
city of Los Angeles is in the throes Of
an industrial contest, and all along the
coast the fight for the open shop is
launched. When all elements and fac
tons are at last educated to the real
issues and their meaning, there will
no longer be a need for elections. The
great force of humanity will prevail
automatically, and will take from the
trembling hand of the venal money
king who tolls not, the defiled scepter
of civic rule. Time alone will work
out the problem, and, at that, we are
living in an age when men and events
move rapidly.
81 wish my successor well and I will
continue to do my part, as a patriotic
citizen, in striving for the further ad-
vancement and development of San
Francisco"

REDUCING RAILROAD FARES

Statistics compiled by the Bureau
of Railway Economics show that rail
roads representing about 60 per cent
of the total operated mileage of the
country reduced the number of their
employees by 81,78O between April 80,
1910 and April 80, 1911. If the same
condition prevailed 2 on other lines

riers throughout the United States,
it is figured had 10000 fewer work
ers on April 80 last than on the same
date in 1910. Placing the annual in
come of the average railroad worker
at 500 a year, the total estimated
cut in working forces represents a
reduction in the pay rolls of the car
riers amounting to $95,41O,OOO for
one year. Since the returns were
compiled by the bureau many of the
railroads, according to reports, have
adopted a drastic retrenchment pol.

take up the tremendous tasks that lie
before us.
Personally l bear no i'll will, and I
sincerely hope that Mr. James Rolph
Jr. will be able to make good his
promises to the people.
organized labor throughout the
civilized world will share in our re-
gret at the outcome of today's contest,
particularly since it has been every
where understood for more than a
year past that the forces Of money
and of organized capital were to make
a test here on the Pacific Coast in
an effort to decide whether, after all,
the workingman was to be given a.
voice in government and whether his
propaganda for better conditions was
to be longer tolerated in a country
that has been ruled since 1776 in a ma
tional and local sense by the pluto
cratic minority. Five per cent of the
people have defeated the cause of the
other 95 per cent, but the victory is
a brief one and will by no means di-
minish the ardor of those who firmly
believe in the rights of humanity.
Personally l feel no Disappointment
at failing to be reelected, since it was
not for my personal comfort or gain
that I ever consented to run for the
office. l shall leave the high position
of Mayor poorer than when I assumed
the office, but rich in experience and
with the feeling that, despite the
of the press, I have accom-

the dinner dishes mad been cleared
away, and it went on and on until
after the midnight hour.
The first joyous message that came
over the phone informed Rolph that
of three votes counted in the Thirty.
fifth Rolph's home district, two had
gone for Rolph.
That was little bit of beginins,
and it didn't mean a great deal. Two
votes don't make a mayor. Still, that
first word of hope brought bright
smile to Rolph's face.
Good News Keeps Piling Up.
After that there was nothing but
good news. 1t kept on getting bigger
'and better every time the telephone
bell rang.
Rolph personally answered every
telephone call and as the certainty OF
victory approached, the Rolph smile
grew and grew, until at last it was
spread all over his face.
What seemed to please Rolph more
than anything else was the fact that
the early returns indicated that Rolph
was making a neck-and-neck race in
the union labor districts. In some Of
these districts the vote was so close
that Rolph jokingly remarked that
they must be counting the. ballots
wrong.
Before long that old, happy, buoy
ant Rolph spirit-the spirit that kept
Jim" smiling through a long cam
paign-got the best of the mayor
elect. The Mission boy became in
deed a boy, with all boys happy
hearted whims and fancies.
Friends Begin Pouring In.
At one moment Rolph wanted to go
downtown and watch the bulletin
boards in newspaper row. Then he
would want to telephone an old friend
and give him the latest returns. And
after that he would have the notion
to get all the children out of bed and
give them a romp around the house.
But of sudden, Rolph was brought
back to his sober business sense. His
neighbors and his friends from all
over the city began to arrive and ten
der their good wishes.
In the demeanor of these good
friends there was certain gravity
and respect that Rolph, the happy
go-lucky young fellow, never before
had noted.
Rolph is a man of quick perception,
and it was instantly borne in on him
that his position in the community
had changed within a few short
hours.
With the full and quick realization
that the people had elected him to be
their chief servant, Rolph became as
much a mayor as he ever will be.
Yet that sort of thing could not
last for long with all those majority
messages breaking in,
Sits in the Floral Chair.
Ten o'clock approached and Rolph,
walking awkwardly through the
house, trying to find himself, came
upon that floral chair that the citi-
zens of the Thirty-fourth Assembly
District had given him during the
campaign.
Rolph had promised the people of
the Thirty-fourth that he would sit
in that floral chair in his Mission
home on the night of the primary
election
Just as ten o'clock struck Rolph
was told that the other side had ad-
mitted his election by big majority.
Rolph gathered all his visitors in
the drawing room of his home and
told them that he was going to keep
the promise he had made to the peo-
pie of the Thirty-fourth.
Amid much hand-clapping Rolph
stepped over to the floral chair, sat
plump down in it, and then voiced his
