A few very importat communi-

be advisable for you to come to
the meetings or you might have

not just to your taste, and you
would then kick when it is to late.

few, if any, branches of employment has
the increase been as low as thirty per
cent.
“In few other citieshave the working-
men really been able to increase their
wages at a percentage substantially
greater than the increase in the cost of
living. That is one of the most surpris-
ing conditions here. Living in San
Francisco today is cheaper than in any
other important city in the country.
“Hence we find in San Francisco the
highest wages and the cheapest living
of any important American city. It is
doubtful, indeed, if the conditions of
workingmen were ever better at any
time, in any country, than they are to-
day in San Francisco.
“The unions here, in their character
as business organizations, have entered
upon many extraordinary enterprises.
They have reached out into politics, un-
til unionism is the dominating force in
municipal affairs, with its own mayor—
Schmitz, a member of the Musicians’
Union—just re-elected, in control of the
City Hall; and they have even entered
business on their own account as em-
ployers of labor.
“I do not believe it would be possible
to find a non-union man in any one of
the sixty-two building trades. In some
of the callings, like that of the retail
clerk, which are difficult of organization,
gaps still exist, and the evidences of the
activity of the unions in lorcing these
men “to join or to get off the earth”—
as the labor leader puts it—are, to the
stranger, among the most striking feat
tires of life in San Francisco.

Wednesday night the Left Hand
Fishing Club had a meeting in Jno.
Morrris’ barber shop, thirty-fifth
and Ave. H. There was a large
attendance of members present to
witness the instalation of officers,
as they had promised to have a
good time.
The offibers installed are:
Wm. Karbowski, King Cat Fish,
the chief presiding officers; Louis
Ciucci, Little Mud Cat, second as-
sistant to his higness, the King;
Tony Kestler, Octupus, collector
of scales; Fred Hauser, Shrimp,
the keeper of records; Tony Ochs,
Stingaree, protector of meetings.
The obligation was administer-
ed to the officers in a very unique
manner, which cannot of course
be given to the public. Bro.
Ciucci said that he would see that
the new members got full benefit
of the new initiation.
The club will give an outing on
Sunday, March 20, for which
ample provision will be made.

GOMPERS MAKES REPLY.
President Gompers, replying to At-
torney Davenport’s assertions upon un-
ion men and their representatives, shot
harsh words straight at his opponent.
“Mr. Davenport tells you that we are
all socialists, lawbreakers and rioters,”
Gompers said. “Such as he created the
socalists. Let me inform this commit-
tee that the American Federation of La-
bor has repeatedly frowned on socalism
within the organization, which now has
a membership of over 2,000,000 working
men and women.
“We come here and give our creden-
tials; you know who we represent; but
he appears as the spokesman of secret
combinations. He accuses us of crimes
and violence, and union men are com-
pelled to sit here and listen. We are
never first with crimination, but we
must and do resent it.
PRINCIPLES KEPT IN DARK.
“Davenport don’t tell you who his
principals are; he represents secret or-
ganizations. His opposition to this bill
is only incidental. Wherever anything
is being done to lighten the burden upon
mankind, to protect the weak and raise
the standard of American life, there you
will find such men as Davenport in op
position. He sneeringly and sarcastic-
ally refers to our sentimental desire for
more leisure that we may make our
homes better, read more books and -visit
the parks. He calls that the tyranny of
labor. Is it tyranny to want the oppor-
tunity to make our lives and homes
brighter.”
the communications with him.
Therefore, it was about 8:15
o’clock when the meeting was
called to order, Brother J. A.

very nicely he will likely be able
to get up for short spells by the
end of the week.
Bro. Anderson also had the
misfortune to run a nail through
his hand but was doing nicely
when last seen.
The crop of carpenter work is
very scarce this year. It is to be
hoped that planting will soon be-
gin for the next year as with the
grading the soil ought to be good
for a large yeald and a good crop
next year. There are at present
not a large lot of shavin’ makers
in the city and it ought not to be
a great secret to keep them
harvesting. If you will try and
let your brother members know of
any field which is nearly ready to
begin work on it will be of great
assistance.
"Villiany imposed upon gooc
nature,” seems to be the motto
with some people, at least our
late experience has been nearly
such as to “return good for evil”
is always readbackwards by them
and is dealt out returning evil
for good. They will kindly bear
than eight hours a day you are help-
less.”
“My newspapers run twenty-four
hours daily,” Mr. Harst resumed, “but
individuals work only eight hours. I
find no difficulty in conducting my news-
papers and starting new ones on the
short day basis.”
ANOTHER CHARGE RIDDLED.

port. “My information is that these
