She Left the Theater.

From the Flo idn Citizen.
A man found himself seated behind a
hat of such large proportions that he could
scarcely See the stage at all. After yainly
endeavoring to catch a glimpse Of the per
formers he determined that the only thing
to do was TO gel the woman TO remove her
hat. Madam, he said, in the politesi
tones. would you be SO kind as to take
off your hat? 1t prevents me from seein.,
the performance"
No. / will not was the retort from the
woman with the high hat.
The man accepted the rebuff very calmly
and he made vain effort 10 see the Stage
for while longer. Finally he determined
TO try again. Madam he said Il have
paid for this seat, but by reason OF your
high hat 1 am unable to the stage. VIII
you oblige me by taking il of p
Il have paid for my seat. and I intend
to wear what / please" was the answer
received
A happy thought struck the man. He
reached for his silk hat and put Ii on his
head. Immediately there was cry of sew
eral voices from behind him: Take off
that hat, Take of that hat
The man took his hat Off but the woman
not knowing what he had done Of course
thought that the remarks were intended
for her. She was mad-thoroughly mad
and gathering herself together she left her
seat and the theater, and a smile of salts
faction swept over the mans face.

treat with the union. A reduction of Is
per cent in the cost of materials will justify
an advance of 8 per cent in the price of
labor, which is practically what the
journeymen demand. This being the case,
we will offer them the wages they ask and
agree to employ only union men.
An unconditional surrender? Not at
all. The question of wages will have ad.
justed itself, for we are and always have
been willing to pay as high wages as we
could get out of our customers. The ques-
ton of wages cuts but very little figure in
this strike anyway, for the regular men in
the shops have been getting So right along.
But this plan involves the abandonment by
the union of the working-card system.
That is what has been the cause of the
whole trouble. Unconditional surrender?
Scarcely, if we get 15per cent from the ma

he discovered the name of Bertha Abbott
written in bold letters. He followed up
the clew and learned that the deceased
was a relative of Conductor Abbott of the
Sutter-street Railway Company.

naturally intimate with her and befriended
her on different occasions, which led a
number of our acquaintance to believe
that was protecting the young woman.
This, however, is not fact and is simply
an unbiased story circulated by idle gos-
sips"
Late last evening G. III. Abbott, brother
of the conductor, called at the Morgue and
corroborated the Identification. He said
that Bertha Bryant was the young
woman's name and that she was native
of California, 20 years of age. He also
stated that deceased had been keeping
company with some liverv-stable man
whose name he had forgotten, and that
the couple were at one time engaged to be
married. He was of the opinion that this
unknown man was in a manner response
for the suicide of the girl.

Bosses Are Determined They.
Will Not Yield to the
Strikers.
COMPROMISE SUGGESTED.
Paint-Dealers, Master Painters and
Union Men in Triple Alliance
Is the Plan.

A call was made early yesterday morn
ing for every union painter in this City to
quit work. With few exceptions they re-
sponded to the call and laid down their
brushes. A few objected to do so. A
mass-meeting of union painters will be
held this evening to decide upon future
actions.
The executive committee of the union
visited several paint-dealers, and were as
sured that they can get all the material
they want when they desire to take con-
tracts in the open market for themselves.
The strikers are confident of winning the
fight.
The master painters are equally deter
mined not to yield, particularly to the
card system. They held conference yes
terday and discussed plan for settling
the strike and guarding against future
troubles.
The plan is to form triple alliance of
the master painters, paint-dealers and
journeymen.
Another strike is among the possibilities
of the near future. The District Council
of carpenters and joiners last night in
structed its walking delegate to call out all
union carpenters working on jobs with
non-union men. This may cause trouble
between dozen or more contractors and
the union carpenters.

A POSSIBLE COMPROMISE
Plans for Solving the Trouble For
mulated by the
BOSSeS

The board of directors of the Master
Painters Association will shortly submit
to the union a plan for an anlicable settle
ment of the present troubles, which, they
believe, will solve the whole difficulty.
The scheme is an ambitious one, involv-
ing a triple-alliance among the bosses,
the material men and the iourpeymen
painters.
"What we propose" said President E..
II. Black of the Master Painters Associa-
ton yesterday, lis nothing less than a
combination of all three classes for mutuaI
support and protection. If it be accom-
plished, and l believe it is more than FEAST
Bile, troubles of this kind will never occur
again.
cat the present time you must know
the master painters buy their material
where and how they please. Some patron
ize local dealers, others buy from the
travelling men of Eastern paint-houses.
We believe that if our trade were confined
strictly to the local dealers it would be of
sufficient advantage to induce them to
favor the associations members in regard
to prices.
''In the Master Painters Association we
have at present say sixty of the principal
shops in town, and OF these considerable
percentage buys its materials directly from
Paint and Oil Club, the dealers association
of this CITY, and say to them. If you will
agree to sell material to members of our as
sociation at price say Is per cent less than
what you ask of outsiders, whether they
be owners or boss painters outside of our
association, we in turn will agree to buy
all our materials from members Of your
organ nization.' This proposition has al
ready been made to the material men in
an unofficial way and meets with their ap-
proyal. They want only to satisfy them
selves that we are strong enough to pro-
tect them, and this is easily shown since
we are gaining members rapidly. Last
night we took in a dozen, and as many
more applications were laid over till the
next regular meeting because of trifing
Irregularities, such as, for instance, the
absence of initials to a name or the lack of
an address.

AN IDEAL UNION.
Bosses and Journeymen Shinglers
About to Band Themselves
TOQether.

The shinglers of this City are about to
form trades union and affiliate with the
Building Trades Council. Yesterday a
number of representatives of this craft
called at the Temple to see the organizers
of the council to make arrangements for
"unionizing" and sending delegates to the
council.
There are between seventy and eighty
lourneymen shinglers and about six boss
shinglers in San Francisco. This union
will be different from all other unions in
this respect. The bosses themselves are
the leaders in the movement of organiza-
tion, and they are urging their workmen
to go into the union with them. In this
way their interests will be made identical,
and any possible difference that may arise
between employer and employe will be
Strengthened out in the union, or if neces-
sary in the Building Trades Council. The
men are enthusiastic in the movement an
ideal trades union will soon be perfected.
