PENDING ORGANIZATION.
Thespians All Want to Have
Their Rights
WITH MUSICIANS AND OTHERS.
The Federated Trades May Be Added
To by Many Famous FOOtlight
FaVoriteS.

And when the strike comes it will be
one unprecedented in the history of
America. For no one may sympathize
with the heroine. applaud the hero, hiss
at the villain or clap at the comedian.
Theaters will be dark, and searchers for
amusement will have to go out on the
p stfeetcars at night to see the stars, and
the only soubrette in the city OF the usual
stage sort will be the hotel chambermaid
with her feather buster.
But the professional people of the
United States. hope that this will never
come TO pass. However, they are nervous,
aud ali over the country the interpreters
of ideas have been holding their heads
close together. and as a result the "a. A.
A." or more explicitly. the Actors Asso-
citation of America, has been formed.
It's objects. as taken from the coDstitu-
tion. are briefly these:
To discriminate between responsible and
irresponsible managers.
To better the conditions OF the actors calling
by all just and lawful means.
So yesterday afternoon about seventy
five members of the profession met at a
nall in the Alcazar building and. in COM
Mechanics Association, discussed ways
aud means whereby artistic ability and
brains might receive their just recognition
and be protected, as are bricklayers,
BARRIERS and bakers.
E. j. Holden. the professional villain
from the Grand Opera-house, presided.

Musicians and 'stagehands were organ.
lied. he said, and at a stated grievance
would stand by one another and refuse to
work until the difficulty was settled.
Actors had no organization. and no mat
ter bow a manager might abuse them, 70
recourse was obtaiuabe. To overcome
this the question is, shall actors organize
and, as body. become part and parcel of
the Federated Trades?
The veteran leading man, George o.
bourne, Thought not. He said that it would
bes hard thing to reconcile art with trade,
and that when it came to a question of
arbitration an iroD-molder~or a brick
layer could hardly be able to Judge
whether or not an actor was worthy of his
hire. He did not favor consolidation with
the Federated Trades, but suggested a
union of actors, musicians and stage
hands, whose interests are so Identical
1t was then explained that unless the
actors belonged to. the Federated Trades
the musicians and stagehands would be
powerless to give any assistance.
James Corden, an old actor, concnrred
with OsbouIDe and wondered whether the
labor organizations would welcome the
Tbespians into their midst. The theatri-
cal mechanics were sure that they would
be received with open arms, and Mr.. Ryan
of Stockwell's volunteered the informa-
ton that the ballet girls of New Y ork City
have protective union and have char
ter from the Federated Trades. In proof
of this lie had a card belonging to one of
the members of. that guild.

love and. pull together; but still he was in

FLOODS STOP TRAINS.
The North Pacific Coast Blocked.
Trouble on the Southern Pacific.

The rains Thursday night and yesterday
morning have interrupted traffic seriously
on the railroads. in fact. have caused its
entire suspension on the North Pacific
Coast line. That road had a washout be-
tween Ross station and Tamalpais, which
necessitated the stonpage of traffic.
The Southern Pacific is also tailoring
under difficulties in this respect but OF
TO such an extent as to Interfere with the
running of trains.
There we're reports received at the gen.
eral Offices of trouble on the shorter ronte
ana at several points on the Summit ana
Ogden lines. but all the troubles are of a
minor natuce.
Several bridges were reported to be in
threatening condition, and it is feared if
the. rivers continue to rise that something
serious may happen.

A TRICK PLAYED ON BRAYToN IVES.

cunning trick played upon Brayton Ives
last week. regarding his address 10 the stockholders
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, their
annual meeting on october II. Somebody got hold
OF a COPY OF IT, and had typewriter copies struck
off from which TWO important paragraphs were
carefully eliminated
The Evening Post" where Henry Wizards innu-
ence is paramount. published the emascuated YER
sion Copies OF the typewriter address altered
were sent 10 the morning newspaper offices,
though they were the authorized version delivered
by Mr.. Ives
The eliminated paragraphs are as follows:
The directors secured from the Court order
directing the receivers 10 bring suit against Henry
Wizard 10 recover about $50 900 Illegally made in
toba road The suit was not brought, however
the receivers was Mr. Wizards personal counsel and
that one OF the receivers mis- own nominee.
Now that the old receivers have been removed
newed efforts will be made 70 have the suit pressed
The cost Of the receivership is Illustrated by the
recent report OF Messrs. Cakes Payne and Rouse,
who state that In two years they paid 1853 40 iS
FOR legal expenses alone. In addition they paid In
lSa-e5 FOR salaries $751; li3 "a, making total for
administration expenses OF N575.23s IS during the
two wears of the recevership. which probably is
a record for extravaganza without parallel. As
the expenses In the second year were upward Of
s325 900 more than for the first, II is easy 70
that a continuance OF such a management would
have been most disastrous.
