LABOR PEACE COMES
TO SAN FRANCISCO ~

San Francisco's most disastrous labor
war of the year was settled when ware
housemen and employees reached an
agreement through the mediation of a
San Francisco newspaper man. Thou
sands of men are going back to work in
the Bay City.
They believe. and the employers hope,
that the agreement brings an end to
labor disputes in San Francisco at least
until the Golden Gate international EX-
position is over. Most of California hopes
for the same thing.
1t would take a very daring prophet
indeed, however, to predict that labor
peace has come to San Francisco for
a two-year stay. Precedent is all against
it.
The history of labor in San Francisco
has been one strike after another. So
common have they become that they oc-
casioned a humorous letter to the editor
of a San Francisco newspaper recently.
The fellow who wrote the letter eX-
planned that he was one who could not
resist passing through a picket line. He
had been made practically bankrupt, he
declared, because he purchased some
tnlng IN every store or SnOp Wnere PICK
cts were posted. He had done so much
buying in recent years that he owed bills
all over town, he complained. And he
ended by hoping bartenders would not
call a strike, because he did not want to
become an habtual drunkard.
For most of San Francisco, however,
these strikes are no joking matter. Mil
lions of dollars have been spent by the
northern California city in preparing for
the Golden Gate exposition. And mil
lions of people are liable to stay away
unless they can be assured there will
be no labor war when they go to San
Francisco.
The rest of California stands to lose,
too, if this labor union warfare continues
in the states second largest city. Of the
visitors who will come to the state next
year for the San Francisco fair, every
part of the state will get share. Most
counties in the state, too, have entered
exhibits, or at least participated in eX-
hbits, at the fair. All Califronians have
a direct interest in the San Francisco
trouble.
If San Francisco unions do not accept
certain amount of responsibility to
carry out contracts, San Francisco may
look forward next year to a fair that
will be more colossal as a failure than
it would have been as a success.

WHAT CONFIDENCE CAN DO
tWall Street JournaD

\ W ali DlIGCl JOuI IdlJ
The current advances in the price of
copper illustrate one thing unmistak-
ably. That is the interdependence of all
business and, in turn. the dependence of
even an apparently uncOnnected element
of industry on government policy.
One might think that the principal
concern of the copper industry with
government lay in that implied threat to
regulate the industry which was con-
tanned in President Roosevelt's remarks
April 2, 1887, when he referred to the
soaring price of basic products. Yet this
is not the only connection which the cop
per industry has with government. AS
pointed out in The Wall Street Journal
even the rumor of peace with the utility
industry is an important, perhaps the
dominant, factor in higher prices for the
red metal at this time.
Here is one little hint, one little drop
of economic comfort from Washington.
In itself 1t is only vague fOreShadOW-
ing of better things to come. Yet. mo
smaller than a mans hand as it may be,
the effect on another industry, copper.
is immediate. Out will go the ripples
from this industry, in turn-more activi-
ty, more employment. Light and heavy
industry will be stimulated for one sim
pie reason, that in high place and low,
among employers, employed and even
unemployed, there goes the faint whisper
that our economic system-and even one
part of it at that-may be allowed to
function freely, or at least to know the
rules of the game that it will play.
If this is the effect of a rumor-for
at present it cannot be called much more
than that-What would be the effect of
a real, coordinated effort to free bust
ness from its present bonds? The an
swer is obvious-as obvious, indeed. as
the effects Of this so small encourage
ment.

In August. latest month for which

Although WPA has a present peak
of 3.129.000 workers. only 10 per
cent have been on the rolls steadily
since the first peak i'll February,
1888. More than 100000 persons
have worked on WPA at one time
or another.
About SO per cent of those added
to the rolls in August were going
on WPA for the first time, approx
imately the percentage in previous
months. The separation rate also
has remained relatively steady,
around 6 per cent.
