WATER FRONT WORKERS TO PARADE LABOR DAY Hoisters, Stevedores and Riggers Will Have 3,000 in March . . OFFER A SILVER CUP Cigar Makers Present Hand some Trophy for Ball Game . Will J. French. * T^l^C*J^'^ K Sfo chairman of the Labor day cele bration commit tee of the San Francisco labor coun cil, has been advised by the city front federation that six unions will take part In that division of the parade. These are the riggers and stevedores, hoisting engineers, pile and bridge builders' -, union, shipwrights of San Francisco, and Oakland, city . front teamsters' and riggers' protective union. These organizations ' will have about 3,000 men in line. The blacksmiths' union has notified the chairman that It will have a float In line. This will be a blacksmith's shop In full blast, with smiths In the act of shoeing a horse. - The cigar makers' union has sent to the chairman a sliver trophy 15 Inches high In the shape of a large iris. It bears the following Inscription: "Cigar makers' baseball trophy; given by the cigar makers' union. Labor day, Sep tember 2. 1907." There appears also with this Inscription a facsimile of the cigar makers' label. •• • • The painters' union at 1U meeting last night decided to hold a special ' meeting In Walton's pavilion next Monday night to act upon a plan to provide sick benefits for members. It will also nominate officers for the In ternational union. Seventeen mem bers were admitted on clearance cards, cix strangers were Initiated and nine applications received. ' At the close of the strike commit tee's meeting last night It was an nounced that the board of health will Inspect the several barns of the United Railroads today. President Cornelius stated that there was no change in the situation. • • • The Janitors' union decided at its meeting last night not to parade as a body, for the reason that many of the members will have to work on Labor day, but such as are not em ployed will march with other labor or ganizations. Three applicants- were initiated. The steam laundry workers are se curing many recruits to fill places that are vacant in laundries. At the meet ing last night 20 candidates were ini tiated. Lathers' union Xo. 65 having elected Its president, John D. Nagle, marshal for the Labor day parade, proposes to make the best showing it has ever made on an occasion of this kind. It expects to have 500 men In line, to be attired in a uniform consisting of white duck trousers, blue shirt, straw hat and Jaunty tie. The union will have new badges for the occasion and a new banner, which has been to replace the' one destroyed in the big Hre. This union Is enthusiastic and f xpects in a short time to stand again In the forefront of labor unions of this :ity. Until its hall at 34 Julian avenue, which Tras badly damaged by fire sev eral weeks aso, is rebuilt this union will hold its meetings in Master Plumbers' hall at Page and Go ugh itreets. At the last session of the executive committee of the musicians' union ;oca] No. 6, 53 members were sus pended for nonpayment of the assess ment levied for the benefit of unions >n strike. The suspension carries with It loss of all rights of membership dur ing the period of suspension. John J. Hundwyler, an old time member of the local, has presented to Its library a bound volume of the American Musical magazine. Considerable headway has been made In the alteration of the local's head quarters at 68 Haight street, and It will not be long before the members will occupy the premises again. When finished the quarters will be one of the most pleasant in this city. Carpenters' union Xo. 1082 at its last meeting decided to take part In the parade Labor day. During the early part of the session the union admitted cix applicants to membership by Initiation. At the meeting of upholsterers' union No. 28 tomorrow night the members will nominate candidates for delegates to the meeting of the next Interna tional body of the order. 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. At the recent session of the , state commissioners of labor in Norfolk, Va., the following were elected as officers for the current term: Charles P. Nein, Washington, D..C; president; James F. Doherty. Richmond, Va., vice president; J. D. Beck, Madison, Wis., second vice president; W. L. Johnson, Topeka, Kan., secretary-treasurer. N The . convention will be held in Detroit. Mich., next year. The barbers of Macon, Ga., have or ganized and will affiliate with the Macon federation of labor. All the printing offices " of Lincoln, Neb., are now working on the eight hour basis and everything Is serene. The annual ' convention of the Mary land state federation will be held Sep tember 10. » Electrical workers, machinists and blacksmiths of Great Falls, Mont, who went on strike recently, have ' signed a contract for five years. All the smelt ers' employes ar«now back at work and all are bound by flve year con tracts, -i Refuse substitute* or Imitations. Get what you ask for. Insict on It. \u25a0 "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 public "\u25a0\u25a0 life " are ;- not* dishonest— that Roosevelt," . La Follette ' and Folk \ were rewarded by- the people because -of their:honesty.'-".\ ; ;:..''" : -V.':_^, . i "..Y./:^-.. ..- 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 see what's holding you up." \u25a0r- When the heroine eulogizes his ,pa THE SAN. FRANGISGO CALL, TUESDAY, 20, .1907. ternal care of his poorer constituents he responds, "I turkey 'em \u25a0In the wlnV ter and I picnic 'em in the summer. 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 nic days." . "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.
