POINT STRIKE TURNS ON
SAX FltAXCISCO STRUGGLE WILIi
HINGE ON COAL SUPPLY.
San Francisco Will Make Special JE
, fort to Keep the Present Em
bargo Intact
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3L There were
but few changes In the local labor situ
ation today. Both employers and strik
ers are standing- firm and each side claims
confidence In winning out without draw
ing on their reserves. No serious dis
turbance of the peace occurred. The
Btrikers are strictly observing the in
junction to abstain from any violence.
The employers hold out no hope for a
speedy settlement of the trouble, and say
there Is nothing In sight but a hard bat
tle. Two of the big steamship companies
claim that they are getting nonunion men
to fill the places of some of the strikers
and believe they can, within a short time,
secure all the men needed to operate
their boats. An intimation was made
that the steamship companies would If
necessary bring men to San Francisco
from other places in the United States.
A few nonunion men were employed as
longshoremen on the docks of the Ocean
ic Company and the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company. On the former a gang
worked half the night putting cargo
aboard the steamer Sierra, which Is due
to sail for Australia tomorrow. Arriving
vessels today were deserted by their
crews, who immediately reported at the
headquarters of the Sailors' Union. Sev
eral foreign vessels are being loaded by
their own crews, who have no connection
with local labor unions.
The drivers of the Pacific Transfer
Company were called out today.' This
will have a serious effect on the handling
of baggage. The sand teamsters were
also ordered out. This new development
may put a stop to building operations
throughout the city.
It is declared by the best-informed stu
dents of the situation that the outcome of
the contention Is mainly dependent upon
the coal supply. Only one large bunker
was in operation this morning, and it is
thought there is not enough coal In the
city to meet the demand longer than two
"weeks. A 6carcity of fuel will not only
cripple the manufacturing Interests, but
will be felt by every household in the
city.
From remarks dropped by some of the
Federation leaders this morning, it is
apparent that the Importance of prevent
ing the loading of coal is fully realized
by them, and that especial effort will be
made to keep the embargo Intact The
City Front Federation granted permission
this morning to a number of teams to
(haul coal to the lighthouse tender so
there will be no stoppage of the light
house service. Permission has also been
granted to the charitable Institutions and
hospitals to receive supplies hauled by
union teamsters.
"While five steamers are being loaded
today, the general appearance of the
harbor Is one of Inactivity. There are
6Cores of vessels awaiting cargo, which
is ready to be put aboard when men are
found to handle it.
Mayor Fhelan held a conference with
both sides to the controversy today. Al
though no definite result was accom
.. pllshed, the Mayor said:
"The situation looks better than It did
yesterday. The employers seem willing
to reinstate the striking teamsters if the
latter will agree not to engage In sym
pathetic strikes and not to attempt to
force their fellow-workers Into the union.
The teamsters appear to be willing to
return to work, but they want a guar
antee that their employers will not dis
criminate against union men nor attempt
to coerce establishments that employ un
ion labor. The difference does not seem
y.to be ery greatat least, not so bad
- that It cannot be settled."
"The strike is more general today," said
President Goff, of the Labor Council.
'"AH shipping Is tied up, and as the days
pass, the effect of the strike will be felt
everywhere throughout the city. It is
in the power of the employers to end this
trouble, and If they do not the city can
hold them alone responsible. We can
not retire' from our present position and
will not retire until -we have won our
battle. It is a fight for the union princi
plea fight that must succeed. There are
now over 20.000 men involved In the strike,
and possibly before the week ends the
number will be increased to 23,000."
M. F. Michael, attorney for the Em
ployers' Association, said:
"The situation as far as the associa
tion is concerned presents nothing new.
There has been no change in the attitude
of the employers, and no change has
been discussed or considered. No confer
ence with the unions has been proposed
and none is expected. Men are being
steadily obtained to fill the strikers
. places. The draymen have a large force
at work, and I understand other branches
are meeting with like success."
The strike of the packers has forced
rtho American Can Company to close
down, throwing 400 persons out of employ
ment Canneries dependent upon it for
their supply of cans employ 5000 men,
" -women and children, and unless the fac
tory can start up again within a few.
days, they will 'all be thrown out of cm-
ployment.
The Police Commissioners have granted
about 100 permits to nonunion men to
carry concealed weapons for purposes of
eclf-defense.
SLOW WORK LOADING CARGO.
Ocean-Going Ships Have a Hard
Time at Snn Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3L Only two
- vessels sailed from this port today, the
brig Consuelo for the Hawaiian Islands,
and the steamer Pomona for Eureka,
Cal. When the Umatilla arrived from
Puget Sound, her crew with the excep
tion t)f the firemen, quit work. Thlrty-
Ave nonunion men were found and the
i, -work of discharging cargo was begun.
At the Spear-street dock, where the O,
R. & N. steamer Columbia was being
loaded, the clerical force of the dock
and up-town offices dressed In brand new
suits of blue overalls, presented a natty
appearance. After trying for a while to
fill the holds of the Columbia, they
-weakened.
The steame r Conemaugh, which Is
scheduled to sail for Cape Nome tomor
row, is being loaded by a crew of Fili
pinos and Chinese. She will probably
get away Friday- The Coptic, due to sail
for the Orient tomorrow, is being loaded
by her Chinese crew.
SKATTLE WORKMEN MAY QUIT.
Strike of AH the Union Men There
Is Said to Be Imminent.
SEATTIE, July 3t According to a
widespread rumor In circles of organized
labor, a general strike of all unions,
which -will be as fatal to business Inter
ests as has been the San Francisco walk
out is Imminent In Seattle. It Is stated
on good authority that the proposlt'on
,1s being earnestly considered that all
union workingmen walk out simpul
taneously, In sympathy with the Ma
chinists 'Union.
The men state that the members of the
Metal Trades Association will not allow
their former employes to return to theli
work on any reasonable basis, and have
done this to destroy the benefits of union
ism. English People Are Annoyed.
NEW YORK, July 3L The action of the
Irish members in bringing forward the
question of privilege, which is occupying
the attention of Parliament, has caused
annoyance to most English people, as the
Nationalists never conceal their contempt
for the honor of the British House of
Commons, says the London correspondent
tt the Tribune.
..The-three Irish members of Parliament j
who have been suspended this week have
undergone the penalty for the first time
this sasoc. They were not among the
number who were suspended at the sitting
when the police were called in eome time
ago.

HELENA, Mont, July 3L Governor
Toole today received formal notice from
the Secretary of the Interior that the
Government would not deport the Cree
Indians, wards of the British Government,
who are now wandering about the state.
The vagabond Crees have spread small
pox through several Montana Indian res
ervations, and for years have been an an
noyance to settlers and the state au.
thorltles. Inspector McLaughlin recently
recommended that the Government deport
the Indians, but the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, whose recommendation has
been adopted by the Secretary, says the
Government cannot assist the state au

NEW SCALP LAW AT WORK
BOUNTY BUSINESS SHOWS GREAT
GAIN SINCE-FEBRUARY 20.
Over 918,000 Haa Been Paid. Out of
the State Treasury in
Four Months.
SALEM, July 3L Secretary of State
Dunbar today Issued a statement showing
the number ox scalps delivered to the sev
eral County Courts dbrlng semi-annual
periods since tho enactment of the scalp
bounty law of 1899. The statement shows
the results of both the law of 1S99 and,
In a measure, the law of 1901, up to June
30, 190L It will be seen from the follow
ing table that the number of scalps pre
sented during the six months just past
is, nearly as large as the number pre
sented during the corresponding period
last year. However, nearly two months of
this period was includedin the operations
of the old law, the new law not taking
effect until February 26, 1901.
As will be observed by the note appended
RAILROAD PROJECTED BY ENGLISH LUMBERING SYNDICATE BETWEEN
MEDFORD AND PORT ORFORD.
to the statement, several counties have
not yet reported, their June scalps, which
would, be acted) upon at the July term of
court. As several of them are large pro
ducers of scalps, it Is safe to 6ay that
the scalp-bounty business Is on the in
crease. It will be seen that Umatilla
County, which has reported for the month
of June, has increased to 2950, as com
pared with 1675 for the same period last
year. Several other counties also show
Increases.
Under tho old law there was a question
whether the scalp-bounty warrants would
ever be paid, hence the hunters were
forced to discount their warrants from 20
to 30 per cent, and even more. Under the
new law the warrants are worth their
face, hence there is an additional Incen
tive to the hunters.. Each scalp is worth
$2. Under tho present law the county
pays one-third of the amount and the
state pays two-thirds. The county pays
for the scalps in the first instance and
the state then reimburses the county for
two-thirds of the amount. The state ap
propriation is $50,000 for two years, and
when this Is exhausted the counties will
have to bear the burden alone.
Since February 26, 1901, Secretary of
State Dunbar hrjs drawn warrants for $18,
3S5 27 on the scalp-bounty fund. The $50,
000 appropriation would be at the rate of
$12,500 for each six months. As $18,385 has
been drawn in about four months, it is
quite probable that the state appropria
tion will be exhausted long before the two
years have expired. Under the. new law
no deficiency warrants can be Issued.
This statement issued by Mr. Dunbar sets
forth very clearly the business done under
the scalp-bounty law, and will show to
what counties the scalp money goes. It Is
as follows:

KILLED IN DRUNKEN ROW.

With a Sledge Hammer.
SEATTLE, July 3L A special to the
Times from New Westminster says:
Two young men, William Springer and
Edward Thompson, living in a small shack
on a ranch near hero, after several days'
drinking, got Into a .row last night, no
body knows what about Springer seized

KILLED IN DRUNKEN ROW.
Ranchman Murders His ' Partner
With & Sledge Hammer.
VICTORIA, wB. C, July 31. A special
from New Westminster says:
A terrible tragedy was enacted In the
quiet farming settlement of Mud Bay,
near this city, "last night. Two young
men who lived together on a ranch on
the McLellan road, had been drinking con
siderably of late and got into a row, which
resulted fatally to one of them, as he
was murdered by his comrade. The com
munity is In a state of excitement, as the
murderer iar still at large' and has taken
refuge In the woods.
The story of the crime is that William
Springer and Edward Thomson got Into
a drunken row, and Springer, seizing a
sledge hammer, went after Thomson. A
farmer's boy passing by heard Thomson's
cries for help and ran up. He saw
Springer killing Thomson by hitting him
on the head with a hammer. The boy
ran to Mr. Woodward's house, about half
a mile distant, and told what he had seen.
Mr. Woodward and his hired man also
went to the scene of the murder. When
they arrived Springer said:
"I hdve fixed Thomson this time, all
Tight." He had also set the house on
flre.
Mr. Woodward and the other man tried
to put the fire out, supposing Thomson
was inside. In the meantime Springer
escaped to the woods, and has not been
seen since. The provincial police are
searching for him. Thomson's body was
found hidden in -the bushes near the
house formerly occupied by the two men.
It Is In a terribly mangled condition.
