David Doran, the discharged stage
manager, who has been in Boston the
last two days, in connection with the
matter, came home at midnight. and
he was very much encouraged over the
success of his visit He claims that
the men were unfairly treated by Man
anger Wilton, and believes the matter
viii be brought to a satisfactory set
tlement when the members of the ex-
ecutive committee meet and hear the
stories of both sides, tomorrow.
Up 10 the time Mr.. Doran left Boston

ton regarding his side of the case.

TOO SWEET FOR HIM.

John Cosgrove an employee at the
Worcester brewery. thinks that there
is such a thing as too much of a good
thing. He was at work piling UP bags
of sugar at the brewery, yesterday aft
.ternoon, when the weight of the mass
of sweetness began to force out the
bags at the bottom of the pile. John
jumped to get out from under, ana IN
doing SO he wrenched his hip very Sc
verely. 1t was thought that his hip
was broken, and the ambulance was
sent for At the city hospital it was
found that the damage consisted of a
bad wrenching.

THE OTHER SIDE,
The Stage Hands Have a Word to Say
About Their Former Employer.

The Stage Hands Have Word to Say
About Their Former Employer
The stage hands will have a run to-
gether tonight to see what the good
word is, and last night the entire quar-
tet, and those in sympathy with them,
went to bed happy over the news re-
ceived from the Boston union, that that
organization would stand by them till
the matter was settled in their inter
ests
They have issued the following cir
cular, which will show their position
in the matter. 1t is as follows:
AS regards Manager Wilton's state
ments, he is aware that the Boston
union has jurisdiction over Worcester,
and when he gives employment tc men
of other unions before the stage hands
of Boston union are provided for, he
violates his agreement with the union.
His statement that he voluntarily in
creased the wages of his men only holds
good so far as the truth of the thing is
concerned, from the time he was wait
ed upon by a committee from the
union.
The action Of this committee was due
to the fact that in Boston the men who
handled one of the same shows that
Wilton's house did got $3.50 for their
labor at each performance, with SO
cents for every extra hour of work,
and the Worcester stage hands imme-
diately got onto the fact that their
services ought to be worth as much.
We have also to say that in regard to
the statement he makes regarding the
successful management of the produc-
ton ION Land and Sea-" In asking for
extra men to assist behind the wings,
that the manager Of the company ex-
pressed to Manager Wilton the need of
extra men This, we believe, should
Justify the position we have taken COM
pared to the one he has taken on the
same matter.
In regard to the wages paid by Mr..
Wilton at the beginning of the present
season, we can state that at that time
he wished to cut the wages Of his men.
He never could have asked for bet
ter or a more practical man or one
who has more thoroughly worked for
the interests of Lothrop's Opera house,
in this capacity, than David Doran, his
discharged stage manager His house,
as it is today, is not good union house.
1t was true that the men were being
paid $18 and $12 as Wilton says, and
they never got a cent for the extra
time, as is the case Win most every
manager who has the welfare of his
men at heart.
Regarding his care to see that the
men had plenty of assistance in the
proper conduct of their work, 1t is in
teresting to pick up, as a sample of
his work in this direction, by using the
same example, as Wilton does himself,
the "On Land and Sea" combination.
Mr.. Wilton must certainly know that
the stage in Boston, where this show
was played, was worked by it's regular
crew, three men on each side of the
stage, two in the flies, an electrician
and his assistant, making grand total
of 10 men in all, where the show pre-
scented in Worcester this week has only
six to do the work

WANT HIM AGAIN.

Alderman O'connen May Be Asked to Fee
consider.
Although the announcement has sew
eral times been made that Alderman
David r. O'Connell would not be a
candidate for election, many Of his
friends are anxious that he continue
to serve them in his usue. acceptable
manner, and are doing all within their
power to induce him TO reconsider his
determination, and again stand as a
candidate.
This sentiment in his favor seems
SO universal that it is not at alum
likely that petitions signed by a large
number of the voters in ward four win
be presented to him, ar11ing for his
favorable consideration. If such q
course be pursued, it is likely that Mr..
O'Connell will decide to remain In the
board.

FOR THE COMMON COUNCIL.

The field Of common council candi-
dates was yesterday augmented by the
entrance Of Peter S. Gallagher, who
will contest for honors in ward four.
Mr.. Gallagher is carpenter by oc-
cupation and was one of the organ
izers and the first president Of tho
Carpenters Union. He has been prom
inently identified with labor interests
for many years, and was one Of the
board of managers of IT, Labor day
parade in 1897. He is wen liked in the
ward, and is said to stand a good show
of election, the only other announced
candidate being DR.. Kronberger.
