A gigantic movement to establish a
nine hour day to go In effect Septem
ber 1 for union machinists employed
by railroads throughout the northwest,
which Is expected to Include black
smiths and boiler makers and embrace
a total of 30,000 men, has been
launched. The plan is being backed
principally by the northwest consoli
dated district of the machinists' union,
although the blacksmiths and boiler
makers, who also have powerful or
ganizations, are looked to for active
co-operation on behalf of their crafts.
According to reports the supply of
brick masons in Texas is far from ade
quate to meet the demands,' which are
heavy on account of extensive building
operations. It is said that contractors
are having much difficulty in carrying
on building operations, owing to the
shortage of masons, and that it is fre
quently the case that men will" work
half a day at one place and then go
elsewhere for the rest of the day in
order to prevent too great delay on
any one Job.

"The- Man of the flour" Bluntly Discloses
flow Public Servants Betray Their Trust
CHARACTER SKETCHES IN "THE MAN OF THE HOUR" AT THE VAN NESS THEA
TER. SKETCHED BY A CALL STAFF ARTIST.
James Crawford
There is but little variance of theme
between "The Man of the Hour," pre
sented last evening in the Van Ness
theater, and "The Undertow," staged
several months ago in the' Alcazar.
Both plays are based upon the great
est menace of this nation's political
life — corruption of public ~ servants—
and both are plays for men. The fem
inine Interest is almost superfluous, al
though the heroine of "The Man of
the Hour" Is entangled •'• more thor
oughly in the plot than is the corre
sponding character in "The Undertow."
Mr. Broadhurst, who ~ wrote the* first
named drama, has also ..wrapped the
main thread of his story with more In
cidental complications, and made 'the
intrigue more credible, the dialogue
more pungently colloquial and the
characterization more human than the
man who .built "The Undertow" suc
ceeded in doing. In addition to all
that, "The Man of the Hour" is a
"classier" play. ' Throughout ; Its four
acts there is no suggestion of squalor,
.unless It be derived from Alderman
Phelan's description of the poor of his
ward.
As in "The Undertow," the interest
of "The Man of the Hour" hinges upon
the endeavors of the .president of a
street railway corporation to set a
franchise from a city, and he calls to
his aid the boes of the party in power.
In return for a block of the corpora
tion's shares and a liberal contribution
to his campaign fund the boss agrees
to get the bill through the council,; but
in order to assure the election of his
ticket he finds it necessary to nominate
for mayoiyan honest man.
Such a -one Is found. -He Is young,
wealthy, ambitious, unsophisticated in
politics — so unsophisticated, indeed,
that, he emphasizes his intention to ob
serve his oath of 'office. Laughing in
his sleeve, the. boss accepts the condi
tion. When the novice is elected he
does observe his oath of office and
sturdily refuses to approve the i fran
chise bill, which is a most, flagrant at
tempt to steal forever the city's streets.
Every means to corrupt him fails. Ef
forts to buy him, to bankrupt the
woman he loves, to blacken the name
of his dead father — all come to naught.
And eventually he wins the girl. That's
the play.
While the characters do much toward
acting themselves, the cast has been
specially well selected. The role of
the young .mayor Is convincingly car
ried by Frederick Perry, and two
opposing aldermen are played with. fine
skill by Felix Haney • and Louis Hen
dricks. f Frank Sheridan ! does the
scheming financier excellently. The
heroine is made impressive by Ruby
Bridges, and Ethel Brandon is a gra
cious old lady. All the other players
meet the requirements.
i Some of the colloquial dialogue is
particularly pertinent to this commun
ity ;at this time. "The woods are ' full
of investigations. Indictments and nub
penas," the boss says ' tor the financier,
"but I notice there are d—"-dd — "-d few rich
men in Jail today."
"Every nian •is a grafter," says the
same authority. "A lawyer will tako
a fee for showing his client* how he
can break the law and evade the punf
ishment— Graft! Churches and colleges
accept money they know has been ob
tained by fraud and oppression— Graft!
Newspapers and magazines " publish
advertisements they know to be ' fakes
and worse — Graft! A railroad presi
dent accepts stock In a : firm vwhich
ships over his line— Graft! Senators
become millionaires on a Balary ..\u25a0-; of
$5,000 a year— Graf t! rAnd so it ' goes,
high and low, rich and poor— they all
graft; in fact the man •; who doesn't
graft hasn't the chance or else he's a
fool."
It Is the same boss who says .'lt's
just as well to keep the judges on the
anxious \u25a0 seat a bit; it , teaches ; them
their places." And the mayor declares:
"God help ' justice . when money and
politics contrpl the Judiciary."
How : the house did come down , when
the mayor shouted: 'Til chaln^not: only
the bribe takers, but the -'gentlemen'
who "give the bribes." 'What an ap
proving :• burst of hand >. clapping fol
lowed his ; assertion .'" that' all^ men .in

Most of "the honpolltlcal epigrams are
voiced , by Mr.' Haney; as Alderman Phe
lan/ and : his ; brogue is a delight.". z He
says to his -enemy,- "As; for; you, ,Horrl
gan,; somefday- I'll . drop ; something; on
you. and ,lf It doesn't -knock you -down
I'll come '\u25a0. back and walk around ; you to

he responds, "I turkey 'em \u25a0In the wlnV

It's a happy, day when I down the man
that's agin me; it's a happy day when
I help the man that's for me, but the
happiest days of all Is me Phelan pic

. "I was once like that." he solilo
quizes, watch lngj- the Juvenile sweet
hearts. "I had a girl, and 'when she
loved me I . was ;In heaven^ but when
she . threw 'me : down vmy address ; was
changed to 23 Lemon street."
"The Man of the Hour" shows little
constructive art, I; but it ", is : valuable ' as
a revelation' of unpleasant .truths con
cerning present day municipal life and
financial and political j methods through
out the United States. ; It Is a drama
tized campaign document of : such worth
that its two weeks' stay. In San Fran
cisco should result in bringing but at
the coming election a big vote for civic
honesty.; With T emphatic bluntness it
sounds the tocsin of that is
also the death k^ell of graft. I

CENTRAL THEATER
"Broadway After Dark" was pre
sented by Ernest Howell's : players at
the Central last evening with spectacu-"
lar scenery. Including a variety of New
York ; scenes : from ; an' underground
den in Canal street to the • top of Trin
ity church steeple. The part lof ~ the
hero, Tom Hall, is taken by. Gus Mor
timer, who ; has been 5 jJlaylng Juvenile
roles in the company.l He has the un
grateful task of supplying the place of
(he late lamented r Herschel ; Mayall,
whose engagement at the Central has
closed to the tearful- regret jof the
feminine votaries of the temple of
melodrama. Evelyn • Selble Is the hero
ine Flora Ross, while T.N. Heffron and
Claire , Slnclalre " rival each other In
villainies as usual. : :lf
The plot hinges on the attempt of the
villain to rob the heroine of \u25a0 her .for
tune, to which he Is next ; heir.™ With
the assistance of,: Benedict' McQuarrie,
who ,playß assistant : villain,, he drives
theglrl Into an opium 'den, and there
she finds her brother, ,whi> i had been
thought dead. \u25a0 The machinations, of
the villains are diverted to ithe good of
those whomi they are] persecuting. \u25a0/
The most ; thrilling 1" scene :i is ,when
