MUST AWAIT PROSPERITY THE SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING , 4 -TRADES COUNCIL PUTS i STOP TO STRIKES.- SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 29. The- Building Trades Council of this city has taken important action re garding demand of affiliated unions for" Increase of wages. By resolution adopted at the meeting, the council took, the stand that henceforth it will not sanction requests for increased i y until such time as the further pros perity of the city warrants such action. - The resolution adopted by the coun cil reads as follows: "KesolvedJ That this council will and shal absolutely refuse to sanction, ap prove or indorse any further Increase In wages of any of its affiliated unions until such time as a, still greater in crease In the general prosperity of our municipality, state and Nation,' shall fully warrant such action." y - The; effect of this action upon the building trades would be very marked. Secretary Tvettoe, who Introduced the revolution, stated to the members that continued agitation for higher wages. except where such demands are abso lutely warranted, are likely to influence " property owners against making; con templated improvements., and for that reason some assurance should bo given that no further demands for advances f wages would be made until further prosperity should warrant the demand.

"one ! of the ; employes of the poetofflce was suspended from dut from May S to June 3, 1592. without pay and without any reason of record, so far as I have learned, and without Department authority.; i "Mr. Tulloch, the cashier, , retained this man's pay for the time stated, amounting to $140. against his protest.

'then speaking of his removal of Cashier Tulloch. al most, at once TJefore he became Post master, declares the removal was not a mistake, and says that Tulloca wsr Irregular and unbusinesslike In his book-keeping, arbitrary in manner, oc cupied much of the time in Important private business and a venturesome man In" thefleldof speculation.

After a brief ad dress by Mr. Williamson, in which he urged the necessity of upholding : the Administration by sending to Congress a man of tried ability. .Mr.1 Hermann made the principal address of the ev ening. It was largely confined to a comparison of the conditions under the Republican party now and eight years ago. He also mentioned the vital sub ject of the proposed forest reservation, which he opposes. ' Mr. Hermann explained that as com missioner he had protested against the forest reserve, and said that in his of ficial capacity he represented that such a reserve would retard the material progress of the country, and, more over, was not required under existing conditions. , :-t He criticised the methods of the im position In its falsification and person al awacg, not the slightest foundation for which existed or could be shown. In his election the people would ex press their confidence in the present Administration and their wish for the continuance of the great principles and business policies which are the result of Republican Administration, and a vindication of the fearless record of that courageous friend and champion of the people Theodore Roosevelt.
