This morn- ing the place of meeting will be deter- mined upon and all the members of the union will be duly notified. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT. The United Railroads of San Fran- cisco ha-e appealed to the courts for | jan injunction and restraining order | luvpre\enl the Carmen’s Union from | going on a strike. The application the case does not mean that 1 cannot apply to any other Judge on the bench for an injunc- tion, but I shall not do so this afternoon, but in the mornirg I shall certainly renew the re- quest for an order. 1 do not agree with Judge Hunt as to the power of the court in this case, for the application Is identically the same In character as was recently made to the Philadelphla courts and upon which an injunction was issued. b TSR e £ TRADES COUNCIL MEETS.

Langhorne, as attorney for the | plaintiff, endeavored to have a hear- ing at 2 o'clock yesterc afternoon before Judge Hunt, but was unsuccess- ful, as that member of the bench re- | fused to grant a hearing until the case | had been properly assigned. Speak- ,ing of his action in the matter, Judge | Hunt said: I declined to at the | grant a hearing on the ground ! e had not been assigned to me, and as Judge Kerrigan is attending the Na- tive Sons' meeting in Vallejo there is no one ho has any authority to assign cases durlng | his absence. I believe this is the first. tima |such a circumstance has occurred, for the a [custom bas been for the presiding Judge to delegate the authority to some member of the bench durtng his absence, but in this instance the formality, was overlooked. | 'S0 far as the case itself ia concerned, T told | Mr. Langhorne that if 1 had authority to take | the matter up without it bemg regularly as- ned to me I should refuse to grant the wri The arplication is for an order of C to restrain the employes of the United Railroads from striking. The court has no | such power. I¢ the employes of the United | Rallroads shoula some act of lence then th and issue a restraining order, but I told Mr. e court has no right to restrain { the company from striking. Am»rne\ Langhorne does not ac- cept the unofficial opinion of Judge Hunt as logical or binding. He will permit the application, as filed with the County Clerk yesterday, to stand amendments. It is his intention to appear in court this morn- ing and ask for an immediate con- | sideration of the application. In | speaking of the position taken by 5 IJud;;e Hunt, he said. The fact that Judge Hunt declined to hear | nouncement was made that the strike ence of open shops. That concession { the union would not make, hence the | outlook was gloomy. | A communication from the Building | | Trades Council caused considerable dis- cussion, as that body had appointed a committee of seven to entertain the | delegates to the annual convention of the American Federation of | which meets in San Francisco in No- vember. Some of the delegates insist- was the central organization and should not be made the tail of the Building| Trades Council kite when it came to| The matter was cempromised by the| appointment of the following commit- tee, with instructions to co-operate with committees from the Bullding eration: C. E. Fisk, J. K. Walsh, James K. Johnston, Thomas Lonnergan, Wil-| liam Haggerty, J. N. Copas, M. W. Coffey, G. B. Benham and Rudolph Speck. For the relief of the strikers of Stock- ton $100 was appropriated from the general treasury. Owing to the fact that non-union musicians are to be employed, a boy- cott was declared against the Druids’ picnic to be held next week. AMONG OTHER TRADES. “Open shops, free to every man who is willing to work, union or non-! union,” are the signs that were posted in the stables and horseshoers’ places of business yesterday. “We have more men than we have places for, with eighteen on the reserved list ready to| go to work to-morrow.” These were| the remarks of Secretary L. C. White of the Carriage Owners' and Stable- men’'s Association when asked how the strike stood last night. He also added that the stablemen had nothing to sub- mit to arbitration. There is a fair prospect of an ami- ciable . adjustment of the bakers’ troubles. as both sides are willing to| come to a pleasant settlement of the impending difficulties which will ensue in case of a strike by the journeymen bakers. Several unions at their meetings last | night donated sums ranging from $5 to $10 to aid the striking butchers i Oakland. The Waiters’ Union signi- fied its intention of contributing $10 a week to this cause.

L FIND FORGINGS ARE DEFECTIVE Board ()f Inquiry Fixes Cause of Accident to the Guns on Battleship ITowa —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 2. — Without | @efinitely fixing the cause of the acci- dent to the battleship Iowa on Febru- ary 5, when two of the eight-inch guns blew off their muzzles within a space of twenty minutes, the board of in-| quiry reports two matters which will be regarded as explaining why the mis- hap occurred. While the board does | not say se specifically, it seems to be clear that the accident was caused by the use of defective forgings, which rendered both guns incapable of with- standing the increased muzzle velocity incident to the use of smokeless powder. The forgings for those sections of the guns which gave way were made by the Midvale Steel Company. They were found to be defective and were rejected. The company protested and brought influence to bear. Again the matter was taken up and the forgings were rejected. The company worked to have the forgings accepted by the de- partment and finally succeeded. Both guns blew off their muzzles. H. A. Herbert was Secretary of the Navy at the time. The board says in conclusion: “The assumption that the margin of safety had been redueed too much hould be verified Ly experiment.” The board of inquiry consisted of | S8anta ¥e on your visit to Yosemite Vale Captain 3. 8.

But I believe that the facility with which the Pacific Coast may extend its trade with Eu- rope will more than offset this.

The plays were “Land of Heart's Desire” and “The Hour Glass,” and the production, con- sidering the inevitable conditions of the odd matinee, was very creditable. The event attracted a large number of peo- ple interested in the higher dramatic art. Very film of drama is “The Land of Heart’s Desire.” Built upon the old Irish legend that on Mayday the fairies have power to steal away the young bride from whom they can beg milk or fire, the play is illusive as its source. It is dream made visible. It is a thing of mist and moonshine and elfin twilights. It is octaves above the ordinary dramatic keyboard, pitched in a key ethereal to which the play- going ear is hardly yet attumed. Of the ordinary dramatic conventions the | play is entirely independent. The usual modes of exciting interest are wholly ignored. There is much talk, little ac- tion. The tragedy affects one as the death of a flower, the laughter is in faery overtones. Yet there fs, in spite of its non-human, or rather above- human quality, a fine fascination in the play. Maire, the young wife, is a dreamer of dreams, “idle,” her shrewish and hard-working mother-in-law calls her. She is discovered with an old book of | tales, telling of the land of heart's | desire, in her hands. Mother-in-law— | who is of the comic papers variety—is | looking after her son and husband's | and pastor’'s material needs. They call | her to supper, but Maire has heard the |faery voices. The fatal gifts of milk and fire to beggars at the door follow and, cursed by her mother-in-law for | bringing bad luck upon the house, Maire invokes the aid of the fairies. A fairy answers her appsal and witches her soul away. Difficult stuff, this, to make anything of. Nor can it be truthfully said that the most was made of it. Miss Wycher- ley, on whom the whole burden of pro- duction fell, must, however, be con- gratulated on the success obtained | with her material, and in the limited time of one week’'s preparation. She herself showed eminently poetic feel- ing in both her conception and acting | of the part of Maire. She has a fine | simplicity, a native sincerity, that augur very pleasantly for Miss Wycherley’s future. The fairy of Miss Hobart, a peculiarly difficult part, was very well undertaken. It had much of the needful elfin and aloof quality. Miss Jennie Weideman succeeded fairly well as the mother-in-law, and Melvin Hunt as the father. The Shawn of William Stack was neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, nor yet Mr. Yeats’ good red herring, and Charles Lamb’'s Father Hart possessed little more character. The parts, indeed, are ones to be afraid of. Much more opportunity Miss Wych- erly had in “The Hour Glass,” in which Mr. Yeats goes a-preaching in “Every- man” fashion. As the fool, Teigue, who teaches truth to the wise man, the actress showed again a rare poetic instinet, and a further technical grace. Her lines, and very beautiful are some of the phrases and fancies given to Teigue, were charmingly delivered. Miss Grace Goodall's angel was good enough for a stained glass window, so far as looks go. Her acting also showed an intelligence and feeling that per- | suaded the audience to a hearty round of applause. Mr. Lamb was the wise man, who has sown the whole country- side with error, and who has the turn- ~e= nf the hour glass to live. He was much more adequate here, though in- Swaicient. Quite good work was that done by Crosby Leonard and Lester ! Alden as two students, and Miss ‘Weideman filled in acceptably as the | wise man’s wife. And for the worthily ambitious young actress who has given the local playgoer the opportunity to see these plays, flower of the most modern genius, there is heartiest praise.

Al- though this city had a terminal sched- ule for transcontinental traffic, it was prevented by discriminating tariffs on the products from interior points from competing successfully for the trade the Great Northern, which the North- ern Pacific will probably follow, re- moves this obstacle and places Belling- ham on an equal footing with Seattle and Tacoma. other steamship lines running north will make this a port of call as soon as | traffic is offered.
