," In connection with
* T l*^*^@^r^ L "^ ' t * lo recent strike
of electrical work
" ers in this and
other cities on the coast.. W. E. Ken
nedy, an organizer for Pacific district
council No. 1 of the third district.'in
ternational brotherhood of -electriical
workers, in discussing the reason for
the strike, says:
"I will tell you why the linemen in
Stockton were called out. Since last
February th* American River com
pany. located in that city, was fre
quently asked to sign an agreement.
The company's business competitors,
the San Francisco gas and electric
company, the Bay Counties company
and others, signed an agreement in
that month to pay $4 and $4.50 per
day for eight hours.
"Mr. Xapthaly. representing this
company, to whom the matter was re
ferred, put us off every time we sought
to have a meeting on the subject. He
offered alt sorts of excuses, but finally
when he could not sidestep any more
or furnish any more excuses he met
our officers and .-on going over the
scale, the same signed by the com
pany's competitors, he suggested some
changes, saying: 'If these are made,
111 sign.' We made the changes as
suggested, some of which reduced the
pay of our men from $100 to $85 a
month. By this the public can see that
we were anxious for peace. He, how
ever, refused to sign the agreement
and there was nothing left to be done
but to strike. ',;;..
'"We leave it to the public to Judge
whether we were reasonable or not.
We. waited eight months for Napthaly
to give what his competitors were giv
ing the men. We were right In not
permitting him to work our men at 60
cents a day less than was being paid
to others in the other companies.
Though there are some differences be
tween the union in Stockton and locaj
No. 161 of San Francisco, we do not
believe that the members of that union
would - act as strike breakers. The
members .of No. 151 are not built that
Some time since J. S. Wainwright. a
member of typographical union No. 21,
died and left his. widow in financial
distress. The union donated $25 and
put lists in each chapel in its jurisdic

visited the widow and handed her $155
as a partial return from these chapels
and assured her of more to come.
Members of the laundry workers'
union are making arrangements for an
entertainment to be given in aid of
one of its members who recently met
with a serious accident.
Miss Annie Brown, assistant to the
secretary of this union, .has returned
to duty after a two weeks" vacation.
The bail committee of the bakers'
union will hold a special meeting: to
morrow night to select committees and
name a floor manager and assistants
for the ball to be given October 26.

tonight for a further discussion of the

Olga Nethersole Displays
Fine Artistry in "Sapho"
OLGA KBXHgB«?SS AS "SAPHO." SKETCHED '\u25a0 BY CALI/ ARTIST.
James Crawford
There is an oft published story to
the effect that Alphonse Daudet's object
in writing: "Sapho" was to convey to
the mind of his young son an impres
sive warning to 'ware of wanton's
wiles, such a thing as the play yield
ing royalties having no part in the
dramatist's calculations.
It Is such a pretty tale of paternal
solicitude that nobody desires to doubt
its truth, and perhaps, that is why tho
press agent succeeds In "placing" It
where narratives possessing less senti
ment and more, plausibility are coldly l
rejected. So that even ; if its authen
ticity'could be disproved,' none of us
have Inclination to undertake the task.
But while witnessing Olga Nether
sole and her company present the play
last night in the Van Ness theater the
thought came to me. that M. Daudet
could have adopted a less ' laborious
and equally effective means of depict
ing the horrible example for his off
spring's enlightenment: Why didn't
he sit down and describe in a heart
to heart talk with the lad, or why didn't
he take him slumming and show him
some living results of consorting with
a drab? For the Fanny L.c Grand and
the Jean Oauasln of the stage have
pleasant times before misery comes to !
them, and adolescent witnesses of their
amours and their quarrels are more
likely to remember the scenes of bliss
than the pictures of despair. '
Youth would rather see laughter
than tears. One of Its "blessings is
tho faculty that enables 'It to forget
the disagreeable and retain in recol
lection that which signifies happiness.
Therefore, to exploit "Sapho" aa a
moral lesson -for young men Is to mis
lead. Aa an exhibit of the inevitable
penalties of illicit sex relationship,
however, it may impress the sophisti
cated as realistic.
Moreover, there was an unusually
small percentage of Juvenility in that
audience last night.
Although Vit was Miss Nethersole'B
first appearance here in any Imper
sonation, "Sapho" Is no stranger to us.
*lt was aa Fanny Le Grande that Flor
ence Roberts first proved possession of
those . acting qualities that raised her
above the common run ; of stock com
pany leading women, and as a star she
played the character many time*! at
the Alcazar and other. locaL theators.
Her portrayal was more , forthright
drawn with bolder lines -and. less deli
cate shadings — than the ;Netheraole
creation, and as Fanny was intended to
bs an adept 'ln the arts of the siren,
with the finesse of ; a trained diplo
matist.' while seeking to attain , her i
ends and the coarseness of a gross na
ture when discretion yielded to anger,
the Nethersole effort is most convincing
of the two. Neither actress has advan
tage ,in the matter of physical charms,
but Mlns Nethersole Invests ; the role
with a voice of rich resonance and: rare
flexibility, : and hor acting :la the per
fection of technical correctness, '\u25a0', while
ever savoring of spontaneity..
In, her saying arid doing? of . little
things the art- of th© English woman
wa» most pronounced. ' She. devoted -as
much attention to the slightest detail
of her part as if 'the success; of; : the
scene depended upon it.£ Her languor
ous mood In the flrit act seemed no less
natural -than her vivacity and sentl
mentalißm and desperate pleading, in
the second, or- her rage V when . lovo
waned. In ; all she '^dld: there' wag not*
the remotest suggestion 'of iat false : or
slurred! note. She was; the Fanny .that
Daudet g drew. ' Miss Q Roberta ».' adapted
Fanny to meet her., limitations. That's
the difference. '\. \u25a0 <\u25a0 -'..; --~J,
In the stage ißCttlng; and^' manage
ment: of the i first ". act - the - same f atten
tlon to jtninutiae* was L; apparent. !
though a score of gaily, garbed revelers
were almost constantly, in action,*cross
ing' and recrosslng, the' principal actors
could « have ? been J identified ; If *; they had
not ; uttered \u25a0 a- word.';; Each movement
.was made bo that i t would maintain a
realistic {ensemble .without -' interfering
with V; the >. central ' ' subject ~ Fanny's
growing infatuation 'for* the"; awkward
Jean. And i tue' closing ;; scene 7 of .i the
act— where he [carried 'heriup: the spiral
staircase— was b; rewarded ( v with >* more
than half, a' dozen curtain; calls. l
: , In one of the Nethersole advance an
nouncements ;it .was = alleged that when
the stair -" scene was enacted lin j Paris
the great :; Madame * Bernhardt, • : in , a
stage \u25a0 box,>'rapturouslyj exclaimed, /'Ah,

Jean's \u25a0 burden"; was no f eather^welght.% \u25a0},
r ., Frank ' Mills," \ who j played \ Jean,' ~i was
no « less 'satisfactory .-, in the"!? character*
than the : star jin hers."S Hei displayed ;a

i All'.thb other jroles'ln 7 the play/areso'

the remainder of the week. '
COSTUME PI-AY AT ALCJAZAR
The Alcazar is giving its patrons a
well staged and well played production
of "When Knighthood Was in Flower,",
the .dramatization of Charles Majors'
novel;*. The company gadzooks and for
sooths "through the five swashbuckling
acts In good shape, with some bright
particular bits of acting that make the
evening worth while.
Thais Lawton; plays . the-^beautiful,
profane, and, fiery Mary Tudor, whose
brother,' Henry VIII,; disregards her
love for. Charles Brandon and marries
her to the king of France. Miss Law
ton has a style of beauty that fits the
part well; and rises lv several places to
dramatic heighfc' Air through she suc
| ceeds in being sweet and attractive. -In
the first love scene with Brandon she is
delightfully . bold , and ;\u25a0; forward— so
charming that a referee; should ,be on
hand to enforce' breakaway ; rules
against Bertram -Lytel, who plays the
lover. He makes a handsome Brandon
and acts well, but has not the roar and
rattle to hln voice to make him a
proper, swashbuckling hero. . -
A. Burt Wesner is really excellent as
King Henry. " David -Klrkland- does
some good work as the dauphin. Daisy
Lovering 'as " Lady Jane Seymour . and
Louise Brownell- as Anne Boleyn add
strength. to the cast.
MAST THRILI.S AT CBNTRAIi.
"The Be»t Man* Wins.- is the title' of
the : four act melodrama presented Iby
Ernest llowell's players at : the Central
last evening. It seems an unnecessary
title, aa, with \u25a0 one notable exception,
the best man has always won at tho
Central. If. he did ; not* the" audience
would soon know the reason why." ;
The inevitable victory of \ good over
evil Is not brought : about, however,
before : most of the grood " people,' - in
cluding the long suffering heroine, im
personated by Evelyn Selbie. and her
father, >. played by - Tru« Boardman, \ are
standing, bound, with 'their faces to
the wall In a counterfeiters' mountain
den, fast locked "in. the" rocky, cave,
with a burning - fuse 'attached to a
gre«n tin can labeled "powder" in "six
inch : letters. , It '% does i; not \u25a0::\u25a0 say . what
kind 'of powder, ; but the villain, ,T.'. N.
Haftron,- explains that it is ; dangerous.
He soatters some of it on . the ground
and leaves. the fuse to burn." .; The good
people, who have ; been condemned to
death In a solemnf court held by the
king of the counterfeiters, are await
ing the end. Then % the; ; young heroi
played by- Kernan Cripps, rushes in
with his friend, putsfoutthe fuse and
releases' * the ' fair ; maiden, ' who . sinks
Into his arms.
I What becomes of the villains Is not
made clear. The'f imagination is per
mitted to roam at will through
geons under the Hudson river,. In which
they might' have been, appropriately
lodged.-. /; \ \u25a0 "" \u0084y ' ,

-Judge : Gilbert.: in k ; delivering the
opinion fof ; the ; court, said :
The sffl<ii»TiU sufficiently, abow a combination
of person* by concerted ; action to aefompUrt an
unlawful t purpose. \u25a0; It % needs \u25a0no citation of au
thorities to simtain \u25a0• the proposition that the ny
pelle* hadtUe right to contract to employ labor
and to carry on its buslnws at ft aaw fit without
. interference ' from • others, ; and that any ; attempt
to compel? an individual,- flrm or corporation to
refrain from • employlnir men or to \u25a0\u25a0 pr«rent any
man or men . from - worklag for another is an un
lawful Interference with a property right. That
such interference may, - under well catabllahed
equitable principles, » b« : restrained by injunction
is abundantly sustained Iby the courts of I this
country, and of England. :-\u25a0• J : -'- ..
; It is urged ; that the injunction was Tiolative
of the rights of 'the "appellants,' that tbe de
fendant unions and their members had the right
to endearor » to improve ; their condition and .to
organise for that purpone. and had the right to
communicate i their deslree to others,' whether
they were \u25a0In -the • employment of the appellee
or not, and to explain the differences that ex
isted : between their former employers and them
fcelvea, and that if it became necessary to em
ploy : to- carry out these purposes they
had - the legal ; right to do so, as the waters of
.the bay of San Francisco are free to all. Con
ceding that the - appellants had all of tbest
rights,; the argument Ignores the salient fuets
brought to the attention of the court by the bill
and the , affidavits. \u25a0 I It was not to prerent tbe
exercise of any . such ' rights ' that tbe injunction
was sought'or obtained. • Its purpose' was ' to
prevent acts of UwleKsnese. of violence, of in
sult and of intimidation. No one can'resd the
affidavits without arriving at the -tfooclcelon
that members of the nnlons went far beyond the
peaceful communication of their rlghta, their at
titude toward their former employers,- their pur
pose of self -protection and the objects . of their
combination. It may be > true -in the present
rase, as in many others of a similar character,
that the disorders of the strike, were deprecated
by the officers and . leaders -of tbe unions, bnt
that fact does not relieve, the appellants of re
sponslbility nor render the court powerlers to
deal with them in their collective capacity, for
the violent acts which, in the present case, are
shown to have been committed and which,' ac
cording to the affidavits, . were threatened to be
continued. •. • • It Is the acts set forth In
the bill that the appellants are enjoined from
doing. :••• -It Is made sufficiently clear by
the allegations of the bill, and the facts proved
that, notwithstanding | that - the appellants may
possess $150,000, . tbe remedy at law is I not as
complete, prompt and adequate as the remedy in
equity. The ' remedy at law - would involve a
multitude of salts and 'delay, pending which the
injury to 'the appellees-b usiness might proceed
to ultimate destruction. The question of with
holding or granting the Injunction was one which
rested in < the sound discretion of the circuit
court." . j
