The new pavilion is located at Twelfth and Harrison streets and will be formally opened next Sunday.

The remarkable feat of county laboring interests In erecting a building In sixteen hours which ordinarily would take forty days to accomplish, was celebrated In the formal 'dedication serviraj which took place at the completion of the work yesterday afternoon. LABOR 19 PRAISED. The exerclsei of recognition and appreciation were held at 8:15 p. A temporary platform had been erected on the Harrison street side of the old building and In proximity to the new structure. The ceremonies were opened by selections from the Marine Corps band.

Joseph H. Know land, vice-president of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce, presided. In opening the meeting he said: "While ws are not living In an age of mlracie or of Aladdins with magic lamps, we have during the past twenty-, four hours witnessed a near-miracle. 1 The sp.endld building which we see be-i fore us has arisen as if by magic and to t'nlon Labor is due the credit: Not only have you contributed your time, which Is your capital, but you have done more than this in purchasing the materials used in the building's construction. It has been a noteworthy demonstration of your patriotism and another evidence that in the great struggle In which we are now.

engaged Union Labor Is performing its full and Important part. The noise of the ham--rs, saws and other tools used In your craft are mors eloquent than any words of presentation that might be spoken. These are days of action and not of words." Alexander Stewart, representing the War indStvy Departments' Commls- DUDLEY KINSELL NOW JUDGE OF SUPERIOR COURT, CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION TO THAT OFFICE. Advt. Klon on Training Camp Activities, was the next speaker.

"Every nail you drive today," he declared amid great applause, "In a nail In the coffin of Kaiser Bill. You men have been so efficient In directing this buldlng that I know you woul.1 be equally efficient and willing when ca'led upon to build a scaffold upon which to hang the kaiser." LETTERS ARE READ. Stewart read letters from Secretary of War Haker and from Secretary of the Navy Daniels commending the members of all the United Brotherhoods of Carpenters and Joiners of America In Alameda county and other union labor men I who contributed their time and money to the construction of the building. The Defenders' Recr'atlcn Club was represented by Mrs. Thomas Mitchell Potter.

"Five months aio," declared Mrs. Potter, "we moved into our old building in five days' time and Kit very much elated over what we regarded as a great achievement. Now we can no longer boast after what you have accomplished In a day." Mrs. rotter expressed to organized labor the thanks of the Defenders' Recreation Club. She also expressed appreciation of the patriotic spirit whic had prompted Geo.

Jones, secretary of the Defenders' Club, largely through whose untiring efforts construction of the building was made possible. Great applause greeted the mention of Mns Jones' name and she was compelled to rise.

i OFFICER IS SPEAKER. Captain E. H. Dur-ell, commandant of the Yerba Ruena Naval Training Station, expressed the appreciation of the Navy in the work being carried out by the Defenders' Recreation Club. He dwelt upon the Importance of the work in keeping up the morale of the men In the service.

Ensign Edward V. Mc-llvaln representing Captain George, commandant the Mare Island Navy Yard, also spoke. He declared that the commandant was a man of action and few words and that when he returned he would be pleased to report to his superior officer that there 'was much action on the part of organized labor. and that the commandant's representa tive had uttered but few words. Regrets were expressed from Brigadier General Morrison, who was unable to be present.

In closing the meeting, the chairman announced to the carpenters that no member would be docked for the time cohsumed In llstentng to the exercises. Renewal of the activities of Chinese tong gunmen is expected mo-mentarllv by the police on both sides of tho bay. rending a conference which Is to be held in tho peace headquarters in Waveriy place, can Francisco, at 7 o'clock tonight mem bers' of at least three tong factions the Blng Kongs, the Suey Sings and the powerful Lew family havo taken to cover. At the produce commission market this morning the Chinese fruit neddlers were conspicuous by their absence, and up and down the streets In the Chinese quarter wtnuow Diinus remained up during the day and there was little activity in the business houses. GOVERNMENT MAY ACT.

That the Federal government may- take a hand in the unsettled condition of affairs as involving the Chinese tongs has been intimated from San Francisco, the police across the bay announcing that unless quiet is restored and the differences Between the warring factions straightened out that the army will be asked to patrol Chinatown. As the slaying now stands rthe score is said to be even between the Suey Sings and the Lew family. The latter is a faction in the social and commercial world of Chinatown and not giving to waging warfare, it is claimed by those who have studied the situation. For that reaaon an alliance with some fighting tong may be made, and that is where the Blng Kongs might reasonably Btep In, as they are the ancient enemies of the Suey Sings. The working class, typified in the vegetable vendors, who go out each morning from the produce market into the residence districts, are said by the police to belong mainly to the Suey Sings and the Bing Kongs.

PEDDLERS MENACED. While the war is threatening these erstwhile quiet peddlers have adopted the course of discretion and are taking no chances of the score being advanced from one side or the other before the peace negotiations are opened. Information received by the police from Chinamen high in the councils of tho tongs is to the effect that it Is not believed the present trouble will be settled at tonight's meeting. From the time of the meeting it will be either bloodshed or compensation for tho killings of a week ago, when three men were the victims of gunmen's bullets, two in San Francisco and one in Oakland. That the Lew family demands too great a tribute from the Suey Sings is said to be the reason for the doubtful attitude of the counselors.

Some members of th club declares that the organization was already on record for Heney. Mrs.

F. G. Harrison, president of the club, announced today that the club had not had a meeting Saturday and had not endorsed anybody. ItKSOIX'TIOXS 01.T Resolutions endorsing Woolwine as the "true and logical man for governor" were taken to newspaper offices by Mrs. J.

T. secretary of the club, and the notice accompanying the resolutions bore the following introductory paragraph: I "The following resolutions, endors-' Uig the of Thomas Lee Woolwine for governor, were passed unanimously by the Women's Democratic Cluha of Alameda county at their meeting in the Hotel Oakland on Saturday, August 17, 1918." The gathering at the Hotel Oakland Saturday was in the nature of an Informal reception by a number of Democratic women of Oakland to Mrs. Woolwine, wife of the candidate for the Democratic nomination, to members of the club jwho do not favor Woolwlne'g candidacy, and was not a meeting of the I club itself. In this connection Mrs. Harrison, president of the club.

said: "There has been no recent meeting of the Women's Democratic Clubs, and consequently the announcement that we have endorsed any candidate can not be correct. I by the forty or more members pres- en- I was not present at the reoep- tlon to Mrs. Woolwine Saturday, so I can not say what happened. I was told some resolutions were read jar adopted or something. Whatever was done was not the action of the Women's Democratic Club, however, as no meeting of the organization was held Saturday." Mrs.

J. T. Montgomery, secretary of the club, said today that various persons had assumed to speak for the oreanlzation without authority, and stated that the resolutions she an officer of the club, and could not call a formal meeting. It was a Democratic club, but Just a meeting for Heney." Mrs. Harrison, president of the club, said today that she purposes calling a meeting In the near future, to decide whether the club shall endorse any candidate, and who that candidate shall be.

WOOEWIXE ItESOErTTOXS The resolutions which Mrs. Montgomery said were adopted at the gathering Saturday follow: "Whereas, of all the candidates seeking the suffrage of the voters of this state, at this coming election, one, and only one. genuine Democrat Thomas Lee Woolwine stands for real democracy, and unwavering support of the principles and pocy of America's and the world's Democratic President.
