Former State Printers $500
Wine Bill Is Aired in
Court

Did w. w. Shannon. former state
printer, dring $500 worth of wine or
did he lavish this amount in cham
pagne on several of his friends at a
party?
These are the questions which are
disturbing the legal minds of Judge
Crothers, Attorney Carroll Cook and
Attorney Clarence A. Henning and
worrying Frank II. Morton of the Eu-
reka hotel in Eureka
In the superior court Nof this city
Shannon is being sued by Morton for
the price of the wine.
Cook asked Judge Crothers to set
aside the judgment on the ground
that the wine was for personal use
and that the bill was barred by the
state law which limits the charge OF
liquor bills to IS.
DO you mean to say" said Judge
Crothers. that Mr.. Shannon used $500
worth of wine in two days?'
Shannon, who was in court smiled,
while his attorney answered:
I'VE mean to say that this LIQUOR
was purchased for Mr.. Shannon's own
consumption and that he does not owe
the BILL
Attorney Henning, representing
Morton, opposed the motion. He de-
clared Shannon had agreed to pay for
the wine, 5000 cash or $3.50 on in
stallments. but had repudiated the
agreement.

INCREASE IN WAGES


=: while this is a splendid Christmas
present for the city of San Francisco,
:: IT also comes in the nature of a holi-
:: lay gift TO the employees of the Union
street line. as it means an increase in
their wages and shorter hours. Our
:. charter provides that they shall work
? no more than eight hours or be paid
!: less than SO a day.
-. An interesting detail of this pur-
. chase is the fact that the first pay
!; lhent of $4,000 will be taken out of
=. the earnings of the Geary street mu-
picipal railway The funds have al
:: ready been appropriated Thus our
i. first municipal line is not only payin g
= its own way but is making possible
the purchase of an important addi-
,Jiop to our system. This is certainly a
practical example of the success OF
municipal ownership"
superintendent Thomas A. Cashin
d. of the city's railways explained that
the Union street carmen have been
receiving 80 cents an hour for a 10
hour day. while under municipal own
ership they will get 3715 cents for
eight hours work
ALL WILL KEEP JOBS
None of the s4 platform men will
lose a job" said Cashin. Instead, II
ad1lLCDdl men Will De put on TO HldlA-
tain and eight hour schedule of labor.
1t is our intention to continue opera
tion of the road without a halt during
the transfer of the property. We will
formally take over the road at mid
night Wednesday and go right on run
ming it, We will preserve the same
schedule, namely, three minute head
way cars on weekdays and , " min
utes on Sundays. We will use the 29
cars and probably run 100 more over
.'the rails during the exposition.
THE traffic on the road has aver
:. aged more than $4,000 revenue pas
'sengers a day. Add the $500 a
moBth from the Union line to the
$50, 000 we make on the Geary road
and we have a grand monthly income
from our municipal system of 1000
