LABOR-CRUSHERS GROWING

The "Citizens' Alliance" of San Francisco, re-
joiceth matter that is of national concern for
this Alliance is organization for the making of war
Union labor and it boasts that the directors of the
Panama Exposition have decided to make that en-
terprise ''ratty'.,
Said directors, says the Alliance bulletin of Sept
30th, have established the open shop policy in Civ
ing the fence contract The fence will be built of
open shop material by both union and non-union
men, and this will hold good all the Exposition
work.
Thus, it seems is determined feature of San
Francisco's big show. Union labor men, who have
stood by San Francisco through thick and thin and
without whom she wouldn't today be fly-speck on
the geography of the country, must take their
chances with imported "scabs' in building the Ex
position.
Of course, the San francisco blanket sheets make
no stir about the making of the Exposition
"open shop" affair. That would "hurt business"
and San Francisco would go crazy with quakes
scratch itself raw with smallpox, putrefy with bu-
bonic plague and drown in of graft pus be-
fore it would utter a word to 'hurt business. But
the building of that Exposition is matter which
really the whole nation and if the organized
enemies of labor have achieved triumph through
those directors, the whole nation should know it,

THE PATRIOTS.
By Stuart b. Stone.

One day three very prosperous
appearing gentlemen called for
Mr.. Tinker. The trio wore high
silk hats and red vests spangled
with yellow anchors, with a good
pint of diamonds sparkling from
fingers and scarfs.
When they had gone Mrs. Tink-
er turned eagerly. "Oh, what is
it, Lucius?"
Mr.. Tinker assumed an oratori-
cal posture. 1t means that /,
Lucius Timotheus Tinker, am the
peoples choice for councilman in
the fourteenth ward of this mis-
governed city. 1t means that vice

$50 for stationery, and on two
succeeding days they secured $10O

schools of the ward and $50 t.

demurred.
"Mrs. Thos. jefferson would not

great rabble. 1t was a tough
looking bunch, and they would not
cheer until Hon. McKenna sug-
gested that Mr.. Tinker buy cigars
after which the crowd cheered
until his jefferson address could
not be heard.
On election day Mr.. Tinker,
after giving another $50 to each
of the reformers, stood serenely
about the polls and specialized as
to the size of his majority. AS
night drew on he retired to the
house and awaited the formality
of the returns. At s o'clock a
messenger boy brought him the
official vote. 1t stood:

O'Connell, Democrat, SIT.

BERKELEY, Cal. Oct. Sup.
pose you were poor man, shortly
out of the penitentiary.
Suppose you were trying tC
make an honest living.
Suppose you should one day be
arrested, thrown into Jail and told
you must go on trial after four
men had identified you as the
bandit in highway robbery you
had never committed.
Then suppose the chief of po-
lice should come to You and say:
1--WE Investigated. believe you
are innocent and your arrest and
Identification are unfortunate
mistakes. / am going to defend
you"
Sounds almost unbelievable
doesn't it.
Well, it's true. It's a remark
able story. Chief of Police Au.
gust Vollmer of Berkeley is a re-
markable man.
First he believes the police
should help a man who has fallen
to get on his feet again; he be-
lieves where they can they should
provide jobs for unfortunates;
that they should not point to the
number of arrests as an indica-
ton of the efficiency of the de-
partment, rather they should
show the absence of crime.
Vollmer breaches this to his
men, practices it himself.
Recently three street cars were
held up In Berkeley. Certain
things pointed to Geo. Batteatta
as the man. Batteatta was a post
graduate of two California peni.
tentiaries. So they brought him
to the station and there four OF
the six men, the crew of the car
said:
That's the man."
Batteatta told the chief his
story, not under the third de.
gree, but frankly. He told the
chief that he had sold his only
possession in the world, an &C.
cordeon, for S14; that with this
money he had hired a peddler's
wagon and was trying to make an
honest living.
Vollmer didn't go on the identi-
fieation of this man as proof posi-
tive that he was the bandit. He
Investigated and he found proof
irrefutable circumstantial evil
dence which proved to him the
man was innocent.
'I'H defend you," he told the
accused man; "I'll see that you
get Justice"
He also guaranteed the expense
for the defense. But before Bat
teatta was tried another man held
up a street car in San Francisco
He killed himself while In a run

In all kinds of climate and weather;

The folk who stupid and clever.
And it's oftentimes hard to tell which one from which,
And 1t doubtless will be SO forever
1t takes all kinds of people to make world
With its joy and it's pain and its sorrow.
It's eternal conflict in which are hurled,
It's dreams of a brighter tomorrow;
With it's banners of victory gayly unfurled,
