Machinists Issue Manifesto About Meeting With the Employers. W = Unless the journeymen butchers recede from the position they have assumed, every butcher shcp in the city will be closed to-morrow morning. The conten- tion now is between the wholesalers and retailers on one side and the journeymen on the other. Some weeks ago the jour- neymen presented demands as to hours and rates of pay. In the main these were acceded to, the journeymen agree- ing to supply union and non-union hous alike. The matter was to be left entirely to_the discretion of the proprietor. Since thi action w taken, some ten days ago, a new question has arisen. The journeymen butchers left it optional with their employers to display the union card. | Some 50,000 small cards were printed and | distributed asking members of unions not to patronize any butcher shop in which was not displayed the union card, al- w not. made com- pulsory. Action was taken by the wholesalers, a general intimation being sent forth that butcher shops displaying the union card could not obtain meat. Many of the cards have been removed, but a few shops Word has been quietly sent around that if there is a shop in the city which does not display the union card to-morrow morning the men will refuse to work. The stoppage of labor may extend to all other shops and a meat famine is threatened. But the wholesale butchers say that they will not supply meat to shops that display these cards. The retail butcher is consequently between two fires. If he displays the union card, he can get na meat; if he does not display it, his men The slaughterers did not strike yester- day in the Butchertown abattoirs, as pre- dicted by one of the delegates at the San Francisco Labor Council on Friday night. Everything was harmonious all day yes- ber of hours. Upon the action to be taken to-day will depend the amount of cattle to be slaughtered to-morrow. Steel-Workers Walk Out. About 100 steel-workers, the last of the iron trades men remaining in the shops, walked out yesterday, practically leaving them deserted. The following statement was issued last night by the press com- mittee of the International Association of Machinists: Headquarters Tron Trades Council, SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 1901 Once more it has become mecessary for the machinists of San Francis€o to presept thelr side of the controversy. between the employers and themselves, in order that the general pub- lic shall become acquainted with the true facts appertaining to this struggle for a decent work day, wherein the most skilled Jahor of this great nation shall be accorded a part of the rights and privileges of the common unskilled la- borer. Tt is stated by many business men and also hinted at by the press that the machinists and allied trades will not make any advancement toward lement: that the different trades have put in coaflicting agreements, wherein one trade is asking for an eight-hour day. Another is asking for a nine-hour day. This we wish o emphatically deny. and ask all incredulous persons to compare the agreements that have been sent out and published in the newspapers of the city. This is the best evidence and the only evideénce that should be considered. The public seems to be entirely led by the mere assertion of the employer, and take what- ever comes from this source as the whole truth without question. Is it possible that 4000 ma- chinists, pattern-makers, boiler-makers, black- smiths and molders in this city are not to have a hearing in the matter? Is not their combined statement over their signatures as to what they are asking for of as much importance as a half- dozen manufacturers’ assertions, coming from a source that is so questionable that they are afraid to make it over their signatures o that the public may know who and what they are? The following will probably illustrate how the manufacturers are endeavoring to settle this controversy, and will also show how unreason- able the machinists have been in their demands up to the present timé: Friday afternoon, June 7, Byron Jackson tele- phoned to the machinists' headquarters that he would like to have the executive committee call at his place of business, 411 Market street, immediately, as he wished to come to an agree- ment with ‘the machinists and start up his works as soon as possible. The machinists’ committee, consisting of H. M. Burnett. John to Mr. Jackson's, and found Frank Jackson, Byron Jackson and their business manager walting for them. Mr. Jackson asked what was necessary for him to do in order to start up his again. He was informed that whenever he was ready to grant his men the nine-hour day with the wages the men had on the day they walked out, together with time and one-half for overtime up to 12 o'clock, midnight, and ouble time for all overtime after 12 o'clock, and accepted the International Association of Machinists’ definition of what constituted a machinist, the strike would be declared off so far as he was concerned. This was acceptable to Mr. Jackson, his brother and manager, and was agreed to then and there, Mr. Jackson agreeing to post a notice to that effect in his shop on the follow- ing Morday and start his works up. He also requested the committee to have his men meet him: at his shops the next day, Satur- day, June 8, ®o that he could have a talk with them and find out if they were satisfied with the agreement. Mr.. Jackson also stated that he had not vet met with the other manu- facturers in this city; that he had just ar- rived from the East and knew nothing about the strike except from newspaper report; that Pe had visited a large number of shops while there apd found them working on the nine- hour a day basis, with ten hours’ pay, and found things were running smoothly; that the to an agreement without any strikes taking place, and that he could see no reason fof anything of the kind having occurred here. He also stated that the stand taken by the manufacturers here would not influence him one way or the other, as he did not think that the boys were unreasonable in their requests, for the reason they were only asking for what had already been in operation. for a year or more in. the East. epudiates Agreement. < Saturdey, between 2 and 3 p, m., the com- mittee assembled Mr. Jackson's men at his shops as they had agreed to. Imagine the sur- Jackson repudiated his agreement of the day before and s®aid that he-understood, it to be nine hours’ work for nine hours’ pay. Now for the ab- solute fact as to that agreement, Mr. Jack- son had prepared two different forms of type- written agreements to present to the commit- tee when they.arrived at his place of business on Friday. One read: ] “‘On ame after May 20, 1901, nine hours shall constitute a day's work. Time and one-hal: for overtime up to 12 o'clock midnight, and double time for all overtime after 12 o'clock, and for Sundeys and holidays. The rate of wages to be $3 per day.” The other agreement read: “Nine hours shall constitute a day with ten hours’ pay, with overtime,” ete. This shows that Mr. Jackson fully under- stood his agreement with the committee.: What and who produced this sudden lack of memory of Mr. Jackson? This is not the first instanca wherein influence has been brought to bear upon firms who were «only too willing to settle with the International Association of Machinists and set their men to work in the past week., As to the levylng of assessments for the support of the machinists on strike, and this rot- about their getting hungry and will give in to the bosses, it may as well be understood now as later on that the machin- ists have ample funds %o prolong the strike for cix months or longer if necessary, and no member of the International Association of Ma- chinists will go hungry, elther. There 4re oth- ers who are. on strike, and it is necessary to assist them to gain what they are asking for, and we propose to give them all the assist: ance -we can. Our own organization has ample funds to eontinue its own fight. When these are used up we know how and where to repienish them. In concluston we wish to inform all interested in this struggle that the machinists have up to the present time made every endeavor to meet the employers more than half way, and 50 far heve heen treated contemptuously, so much so that in the future all overtures must come from our opponents, and no settlement can possibly be reached on any other terms than those already conceded. H. M. BURNET, WILLIAM DELANETY. Press Committee of Local No. 63, International Assoclation 6t Machinists. The Porters’ and Packers’ Assoclation had a long meeting at California Hall, of Baron Chevrial---“Theodora” Grand Opera-H ouse Finely Presented at e HE unwonted honor of a real pre- miere fell to the playgoers of San Francisco last night at the Co- lumbia Theater with “Darcy of the Guards,” a four-act comedy by Louis Evan Shipman ror programme. The play may be counted in among the successes, and was received by its first audience with hearty approbation and thorough enjoyment. It is clean, ‘whole- some, charming, well constructed, bright in dialogue and clever in ingenious use of familiar devices. “‘Darcy of the Guards” adds yet an- other to the long list or piays of the revo lution, its scene laid in Philadelphia du ing the occupancy of the British under Cornwallis. All the picturesque in- cidents of the rebellion are made much of, the British soidiers bil- leted in the rebellious household, the usual love affair between the rebel daughter and her enemy-at-law, the usual brother in the army of Washington, and 80 on. There is a strong resemblance in plot between the comedy and Paul Pot- ter’s play, “The Conquerors,” but tha the author of ‘“‘Darcy of the Guards” has not set himself the over difficult task of winning sympathy for a hero who at- témpts the ruin of the daughter of the house before he falls in love with her. Darcy is a delightful hero, an Irfsh m jor in the Guards; handsome and chival- rous, nonchalant, with an insinuating tongue and flavorsome brogue, and when he is “‘winged” by Miss Pamela the sym- pathy/is all with the servant of King George. Of course, she makes up by nurs- ing him back to health, finally rewarding him with her heart and hand. To see *‘Darcy of the Guards” played as it was played last night is to see it under probably the best possible auspices, and it may be assumed that the comedy can fairly be judged by its initial pre- sentment. A Success it is undoubtedly, though not to set the Thames on fire from the standpoint of novelty, and to Henry Miller, who as Darcy has added yet an- other to his finished portraits of men and manrers, an important percentage of its triumph 'is due. A graceful figure as the Irish major he is, with the right and happy-go-lucky accent and careless chiv- alry. He has a good scene with Pamela when he first tells the scornful maid that he loves her and is turned down with a truly awful vigor. He makes much of the opportunity, with a fine and delicate art, persuading all to pity, and promptly heaps coals of fire upon her head after- ward by rescuing the lady’s brother from the danger of arrest as a rebel spy. His delight on learning that it is the brother he has saved, not her lover, as he had imagined, is a delicious bit of work. Miss Rockwell takes good care of the part of Pamela and is altogether a charm- ing rebel miss. Others well seen in the play are Fred Thorne as Captain Gregory, surgeon of the Grenadier Guards, an excellent piece L e L e e e Y Y jerly worked in a bookstore on Market 620 Bush street, last night. A schedule of wages to be submitted to employers on July 1 has been adopted, but some of the more aggressive workers want the schedule placed in force at once. The meeting was largely attended and the ex- ecutive committee was instructed to carry out the details of the demands to be made upon the employers. The woodworkers at the various iron foundries, through their several commit- tees, desire it announced that no terms have as yet been agreed upon and that they will 'stay with them until the matter is settled. A meeting of the Wholesale Butchers’ Association was held in the offices of Mil- ler & Lux at 508 California street yester- day afternoon. The situation was dis- cussed at length and such steps were de- termined upon as would combat the in- fluence brought to bear by ‘the unions. The wholesalers held the* meeting at the solicitation of a number of retail dealers who claim grievances because of ‘the op- position to the strikers. It was the sense of the meeting that everything possible to protect these dealers should be done. Barbers Nominate Officers. At a meeting of the San Francisco Bar- bers’ Union last night the following mem- bers were placed in nomination: For pres- ident, J. R. Bailey (incumbent), and A. E. ‘Wray, present vice president; for first vice president, J. V. Ducoing and George Aubertine; financial secretary, I. Lees (in- cumbent) and H. Holcomb; recording sec- retary, W.

St. Paul’s Parish Outing. The members of St. Paul's Parish will hold their annual picnic to-morrow. Los ! Gatos Park has been selected as the picnle | grounds. The park has been improved during the past year, new and attractive features having been added. The commit- tees in charge of the excursion have done their work well.

The play is adequately staged and went with- com- mendable smoothness. There was a very larze house. Grand Opera-House. The attractive stage presence of Mel- bourne MacDowell, his breezy virility, the grace and beauty of Florence Stone as she portrays the fleeting lights and shadows of the varying moods of the Empress Thecdora, the gorgeous costumes, splen- didly barbaric, and the artistic work of Frederick Hartley as the cruel coward Justinian, all unite in making Sardou's ‘“Theodora” a success on its first pre- sentation in the English language in this city. Miss Stone assumes the role nat- urally—at one moment the careless, frivo- lous girl, at another the tender, loving maiden and again the Empress, proud and strong in the consciousness of her power.

Just as soon as the public wearies of this bright little opera the management will put on its annual midsummer extrava- anza, which this year will tell the tale of “The Babes in the Woods.” On Satur- day there will be another of the ular “toy matinees.” 4 o Alcazar. “Bonnie Prince Charlie” began Its sec- ond week at the Alcazar to a crowded house last night. Miss Florence Roberts and White Whittlesey were enthusias- tically received and everybody was more than pleased with the play, ‘“The Countess Valeska,” one of Julia Marlowe’s successes, will follow ‘“Bonnie Prince Charley” next week. Central., The attraction at the Central Theater this week is *Jim the Westerner.” As would be supposed from the title, the drama is of the rbbust type. There are brave-hearted men who find hard luck but face it with fortitude, and also lovely and high-minded women, who add to the interest of the story. The stock company Is cast to make the most of the various interesting situations. Olympia.

The “Parisian Romance™ at the Califor- nia is making as great a hit as any of the pieces put on by the Neill company, which has scored an unbroken series of triumphs since it openeg here for this engagement, The play is offe of the best, and the fact that there is a diversity of opinion as to James Neill's capabilities in the title role has awakened an unusual interest in the production. That Nefll is satisfactory to is audiences was demonstrated last night by the applause he received. The part of Baron Chevrial is a difficult one, requiring all the gegius of even as caj ble and versatile an actor as Neill. The desire to see him in this role is great. Fischer’s Concert House. A musical farcette entitled “A Smooth Article,” by Charles Kavanaugh, a well- known San Franciscan, received its initial presentation at Fischer's last night and scored a great success. performed by Miss Gladys Graham, Miss Maybelle Graham, Henry Graville and Ed | Graville, all of whom seemed to have hundreds of friends in the house, judging from the amount of applause bestowed on their various songs. At the conclusion of the farcette the stage was literally cov- | ered with floral pieces. Charity Martin, the eminent operatic soprano, and Signor G. S. Wanrell, the renowned basso-can- tante, sang several solos, and flnally brought down the house with the great duet from ‘‘La Torza del Destino.” The one-act operetta, “Frietzchen and Lies- chen,” given by Katherine Krieg and Min- nie Huff, Matildita’s ballet and new selec- tions by Carroll, the whistler, and Samuel Holdworth, tenor, concluded an unusually strong programme which should attract large audicnces the rest of the week. Chutes. Martinetti and Sutherland scored a big hit at the Chutes in their comedy acro- batic, singing and dancing act.

Tell of His Belief That Spirits of the Other World Return. H. D. Cogswell's faith in Spiritualism, occultism and seers and his bellief that after he passed this life he would return “to inhabit one of his statues,” which, unfortunately, have been torn down and consigned to the dumps, have led to the making of a charge that he was insane for many years prior to his death. This charge is made in a contest filed.yester- day to his will by Don Alvaro Skellinger and Marton S. Stevens, children of Mary Ann Cogswell, a deceased sister of the late capitalist and philanthropist. Skellinger, who is 63 years of age, is a resident of the Napa Veterans’ Home Stevens resides in this city. In decedent's will both were practically disinherited and they now ask that the same be de- clared null and void and that decedent's estate be distributed as though Cogswell Ead died intestate. For twenty years prior to his death, the contestants allege, Cogswell was a stanch believer in and devotee of Spir- itualism, occultism and Theosophy, and irvariably before any business enterprise or any of his late philanthropic undertak- | ings would congult and be guided by me- diums, slate-writers and so-called readers of the past, present and future. Continuing, the contestants aver that Cogswell labored under the hallucination that after he died he would return to earth and inhabit a monumental statue f himself erected by himseif in this city, whereby he would ever then be before the public as dispensing free water 1o the thirsty.” Cogswell, it is further alleged, also la- bored under the hallucination that he was in constant communication with disem- bodied spirits of the other world. By rea- son of such hallucinations the contestants contend that the mind of the deceased became impaired, bewildered, deranged, and was made unsound and incapable of freely and voluntarily executing a will In fact, the contestants aver, ddcedent's last will was not freely or voluntarily made by the deceased., They claim that the same was executed under the undue influence of Caroline E. Cogswell, deced- ent's widow. ““who called certain Spirf ualists to her aid to influence the deceas- ed to sign the will which she had dictat- Mrs. Cogswell, it is alleged, for her husband confined in the Marechal 1 Hotel.in this city and refused to per- | mit any of her reldtives to visit him. Gogswell, it is said, ofttimes stole away from the hotel and would call upon the contestants and say to them: “Try and get along with Aunt Carrie. as I have to Contend with her twenty-five hours out of every twenty-four.” The contest filled yesterday is the sec- ond which has been instituted since de- cedent’s will was admitted to probate in December of last year. The first was compromised. ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ Soap in stick form; con- venience and economy in shaving, It is the best and cheap- est shaving soap in all the world.
