THEATER PREVENTS STRIKES.
Employees of the Factory Write the
Plays and AC. Them in
Town Of France.

Entertain the workingman and pre-
vent strikes. Upon this theory a novel
social institution has been estzblis ed
in Bussang, France, says the Chicago
Tribune.
1t is a workingman's theater-dl-
rected by a factory owner, producing
plays written by him and his en-
ployes, and using the native dramatic
talent of the French la borer.
1he actors are factory men and
women. The audience is composed of
the same class of people. The theater
itself is novelty worth travelling far
to see, and the methods by which it is
operated are absolutely unique.
So successful has the unique theater
been that employers of labor in other
parts of France and in Germany and
Italy are studying it to initiate it. AS
a factor in reconciling employer and
employe it has proven invaluable, and
as means of entertainment for the
factory people it has been uneXcelled.
Since the theater was opened there has
not been a strike at the factory.
Maurice POttecher, a man of wealth,
is the employer who has carried out
the peculiar ideas. In the theater
which he has built performances are
given every night, and six nights a
week no admission fee is charged.
Once a week, on a holiday, a small
charge is made. This is on the occasion
of the production of new plays.
The building itself has no cover ex-
cept a canvas roof which may be drawn
over it when the sun becomes too
| strong or when rain threatens. Many
| of the plays which have been given
were written by the factory owner and
| some of them by his workmen. Nine.
pottecher has taken parts in the per-
| formances, and with credit. it has been
| said. One of M. Pottecher's most pop
ular plays was "The Devil as Liquor
| Dealer" 1t took" immensely because
| of the humor of it's situations.
Occasionally classic is given Re-
Gently Macbeth" was rendered. 1t
was curious performance. and an old
theater goer who has seen Macbeth
in many capitals of the world. played
by all famous actors, declared that this
Bussang production, in his opinion,
came more nearly to the true Shake
spearean idea than any of the others.
Some of the spectators had travelled
hundreds of miles to see this unique
rendition of Macbeth" Some of the
costumes worn by the players would
have shocked a modern tragedian.
For instance. the artisan who acted
the part of Macbeth wore red wig
and crimson nightgown and -four
ished dagger as if it were sickle.
The main object in conducting the
theater has been to make the factory
people happy and contented by fur
nishing them beneficial and mex
pensive form of amusement. It has
done that and it has done more by
cementing the ties between the en-
ployer and the employee. For this rea-
son other wealthy men of Europe who
have seen M. Pottecher's plan in opera
ton are preparing to initiate it, and
soon there may be many such play
houses in different parts of the con-

EniOinS Beef Trust.

CHICAGO, May 20-A temporary
injunction, restraining the meat pack
ers from further violations of the
Sherman anti trust law, was granted
IN the United States district court
this afternoon. AS soon as the
court opened, the defense announced
that it would not resist temporary
injunction but would demand a
change in the bill concerning the
right of packers to conduct a uniform
credit system, maintaining it was a
private right. The government at
torneys commended that it was not a
private right inasmuch as it would
give the packer an opportunity to
discriminate in favor Of certain GUS
toners, thereby restraining trade.

Dry Farming All Right.

H. K. White of Dead Ok Flat was
over Saturday and was radiant with
smiles over the soaking rain of the
previous day. Mr.. White is expect
ing number of Nebraska acquaint-
ances to come out next fall to locate.
Already so many of the ranchers
there are from that state that there
is talk Of changing the name tos'Ne-
braska Flat" Speaking of the pros
pect for ditch to cover that fine
body Of land he said that several
projects were under way. and he had
no doubt of a favorable outcome.
However, he was not worrying about
that, as he is thoroughly satisfied
with dry farming. He is satisfied
that rye, winter wheat and barley
can be produced as cheaply, abund-
antly and surely as in any grain
country without the aid of irrigation.
Grain brings an unusually high price
here, and no crop holds more allur-
ing prospect to him.

he suggested and the ledge was en-

DEMOCRATS MAY NAME
A FULL LOCAL TICKET

What course Democrats will take in
the coming campaign will be settled at
meeting of the memueIs ; of the party
to be held Monday evening at the head
quarters of the party, in Waverley
Hall. This was decided yesterday at a
gathering which did no other business
than to suggest the appointment of
Prince David Kawananakoa as treas
urer to succeed w. H. Wright.
There is great difference of opinion
among the Democrats. as to the course
wisest to pursue, and it is therefore
impossible to forecast the action. The
majority perhaps are in favor of put
ting up a ticket which Will be run un-
der the name of the party, that its
identity may be preserved. There is an
.element which favors the placing of the
name of Wilcox at the head of the tick

jority of the members of the party be-
lieve that the action of the Delegate in
throwing them down, since that he has
the power to carry a majority was
shown in his pulling through Caypless,
deserves some attack at their hands.
AS to the legislative ticket some of
the Democrats feel that they must
save McCarthy's face, as he would not
be classed as Home Ruler if he was
nominated, not endorsed. by the regu-
lar Democracy. With Holt on the tick
ct as well there would be nucleus for
action.
The Home Rulers are not at ease at
all. The demonstration against Ng

of causing some of the strongest men
of the Fifth District to consider the
calling of another convention of the

thereupon become and be vacant"
CANDIDATES FOR POSITION.
A whole flock of candidates for the
position of both auditor and treasurer
has arisen. The departures of w. H
Wright from the Territory is accepted
by the Governor as equivalent TO res

be made. Secretary Cooper is treasurer

The MoIokai Priest
Steps Down
and Out.
His Successor Has Been
Chosen by the
Bishop.

The Reverend Father wendelin Noel
lers, whose controversy with the Board
of Health created a sensation a few
months ago, has severed his connection
with the Leper Settlement after fifteen
years service.
! Father Wendelin rendered his resig-
nation to Bishop Gulstan in June but
it has just been acted upon and the
Catholic priest returned to Honolulu
from Kalaupapa on Tuesday Father
Valentine stated last evening that a
successor to Father Wendelin had al
ready been appointed, but as no official
announcement had been made as yet,
he was not at liberty to give the de-
sired information to the newspapers. !
Father Wendelin's successor is in the
islands and will go to the settlement
within week. In the meantime the
Catholic churches at Kalaupapa and
Kalawao will be under the supervision
of the priest still remaining win the
lepers. Father Wendelin will also re-
main in the islands and his assignment
of work will be made at a meeting of
all the Catholic priests in the Territory
to be held next week. s&ssss
The reasons for Father Wendelin's de-
termination to leave the settlement are
found in the conditions imposed upon
the priest by the Board of Health after
it had been decided to allow him to re-
main and continue his work. Following
an investigation of charges made
against Supt. Reynolds and DR.. Oliver
resulting in the removal of both these
employees, request was made to Bishop
, Ropert for the recall of rather Wen
delin. No charges were made but it
was set out that his recall was neces-
sary "in the interests of harmony"
Bishop Gulstan refused to accede to the
request of the Board but after an inter-
change of considerable correspondence,
the right of the Board to the absolute
control of the settlement was acknowl-
edged, following which it was agreed
that Father Wendelin should be per-
mitted TO remain, on condition that he
attend only to his ministerial duties,
and refrain entirely from mixing in
with the political affairs of the lepers.
This condition proved irksome to the
Reverend Father who believed that it
was an obstacle to the faithful dis
charge of his work and resulted In his
request to the Bishop that he be al
lowed to resign and give up the post
which has been faithfully administered
by him for fifteen years. In view of the
complications arising the request has
been granted.
FEELING is HIGH.
In spite of the claims made by Wilcox
of his friendship for the 1epers. the
Territory wards 90 not seem to appre-
ciate him. Later news from Kalaupapa
is to the effect that the lepers are in
indignant revolt and threaten all man
ner of violence if Wilcox appears there.
Supt McVeigh it IS reported is having
a hard time controlling the iepers be-
cause of the assertions made before the
Senate commission by Wilcox and 9TH
ers.
The further segregation of sexes is
what the lepers most violently oppose,
and they claim that they are not crimi-
nails and should not be treated as such.

THE STRIKE IN CIENFUEGOS.

An example of the injury to the gem
eral' public through the operation of
a strike is given in Cienfuegos, Cuba,
where the unions have closed all in
dustries in order to enable small
company of men who unload timber
at the water front t o enforce their de-
mands. The people who have stopped
work include not merely longshore-
men,. but truckmen, butchers, bakers
and cooks. The city is therefore
without supplies, and would be with
out food were it not that the auth
critics have decided to relieve the
distress by slaughtering cattle and
baking bread on their own account
and distributing necessities TO the
populace. This puts the common
people into an attitude of mendicancy
which is harmf III to self respect, but
under the circumstances there appears
to be no help for it. The lumber
handlers had right to strike, but
the cooks had no right to strike, for
they had no grievance to redress.
If we must go about righting the
alleged wrongs Of others there will
be nothing but wrong the whole
world over and we shall be the wrong
est people in it, Ridiculous, indeed
that the comfort of city should be
spoiled, industries stopped, merchants
put to loss, and suffering imposed on
hundreds because a handful of men
have wrangled with their employers
Ridiculous that the whole accept
charity and afterward be taxed to pay
for it, in order that a strike may pros
per? Still it must be said for the cred
il of these Cuban strikers that they
have not as yet restored to the meth
DDS in vogue in,the lost State of Pensyl-
vania and that it is still safe for a
workingman to go about the streets
without exhibiting a card to show
that he has Joined a union, Will that
