Cowles is proprietor and pub
Usher are having their usual
troubles with the Typographical
union over agreement on wage
scale and working conditions.
Last night the negotiations
and union for the past two weeks
eliminated in refusal of
the Spokesman-Review composing
room force to go to work with the
exception of the mechanical SUI
perintendent, two assistants and
apprentices
Last evening the Chronicle
force resigned with few eXcep-
lions. The Spokesman Review
managed to issue an edition this
morning by using matter already
set, and the Chronicle manage
ment announces an intention to
publish an edition this afternoon.
Abobnt 60 men are out on both
papers, the latter retaining about
10 employees between them.
An appeal to James M. Lynch.
international president of the
Typographical union, by the
Spokesman-Review last night re-
suited in the executive committee
of the local union being directed
to order the men back to work
pending settlement by arbitration.
The executive committee acted in
accordance with these instruc-
tons, but the men refused to re-
turn with the exception of appren-
tees
The printers claim that no strike
is intended, but that they are
simply exercising their rights to
quit as individuals. The union
does not recognize strike condi-
tons, but claims that its members
have determined to quit and the
organization has no power to
force them back unless they are
willing to go.
Many members are withdrawing
their cards and are preparing to
leave the city, declaring they will
not work for the Spokesman
Review or Chronicle again under
any circumstances.
The reason given for this gen
eral determination to quit on the
part of the printers is breach of
faith on the part OF Mr.. Cowles
and the management of his papers.
In an official interview given The
Press today the executive com
mittee OF the Spokane union
, states the case as follows:
"Mr. Cowles has absolutely
: broken faith with us after making
an agreement, and the effect Of
his action has resulted in disgust
and distrust on the part Of his
employees that has determined
many Of them to drop their work
at once and leave the city. No

smelling sauerkraut as cure for ter
rible burns she received yesterday,
Mrs. Emil Blatz, a woman eighteen
years old, died at her home this even
ing. She poured oil on the kitchen fire
and the oil can exploded, ,saturating
her clothes with burning oil. Crazed
with pain and fear she ran like a
b4azing torch to a neighbor's house;
the neighbor women running from her,
she dashed back and forth four times
between the houses before she sank
to the ground, devoid of every article
of clothing except her shoes. Her hair
was burned off and her body, arms,
legs and head were burned to a crisp.
Her husband returned home for dinner
and found her still unconscious with
covering of sauerkraut tucked
around her by the neighbor Polish
women. Last night she became un-
conscious and a doctor was called, but
the remedies he prescribed were not
applied.

"UPSIDE DOWN"
DANCE THIS WEEK
AT FISCHER'S

At Fischers theater this week the bill
will be another of those light and merry
comedies, entitled 1.-THE Troupers,
which has been especially arranged for
the Fischer comedians by Fred l.. Grif-
fiths. The new company has made a
decided hit, each member being cast
to advantage and the chorus and musi-
cal numbers have won encores nightly.
In 1.-THE Troupers' Miss Bonnie May
will be seen in the role of a French
opera singer. Miss Nellie Montgomery,
the new soubrette, will be the rollicktng
maid at the hotel. Messrs. O'Brien and
West will have ample opportunity to
display their laughter provoking abili-
ties and James Diamond will be seen
in an eccentric comedy role and aero
batic dancing. Fred l.. Griffiths, under
whose direction the production will be
staged, will be seen in a light comedy
role. The chorus will have several dash
ing musical numbers and will wear
many handsome costumes. A feature of
the show for the coming week will be
the famous Upside Down Dance" by
the chorus. The dance is novel and
refined and presents a pretty picture.
Matinees will be given as usual every
day except Monday.

PLENTY OF FUN
IN THE CRICKET
LAUGHTER is INTERPoLATED'
HOWEVER
Prettlest Scene in the Burbank Show
Is the Maypoe Danoe-oId
Plays Return to Los An-
geIes This Week

'Fanchon the Cricket" is the fun
niest thing that ever happened.
The Burbank stock company thinks
so. the audience was forced into SINH
lar belief and alas the poor critic must
join the chorus.
The members of the company were SO
funny that they just couldn't help
laughing at themselves and in the most
tragic places too.
What else the piece is would be hard
to say. The program anpounces 1t a
"domestic drama in five acts"-the I'VE
acts are there all right, and enough
extra scenes to keep the stage hands
busy.
The Burbank company decided that
1t was intended to be a cross between
a May day party and an August picnic.
Lines were things of little conse-
auence and William Desmond even
went so far as to declare, when he was
trying to persuade his father why ne
should be allowed to marry the girl of
his choice, that he was able to take
care of wife and child.
Unhappily Waldauer forgot to put in
any child when he made the transla-
tion from the German and of course
the audience was surprised when VIII
liam Desmond introduced one. Mr..
Desmond was also surprised.
Fanchon or the Cricket, as she is
called, is a child brought up by a
woman thought to be witch. She
was made to wear rags and the people
of the town despised her and called her
ugly. The son of the richest man in
the town fell in love with her and the
trouble began. The happiness followed
and the audience is left to believe that
thew will live happily ever after.
William Desmond was only simple
boy and il was evident that he did not
relish the rather unimpressive situation
in which he Is placed. He was over
come by the humor of having his twin
brother hanging on to his coat tails
and Joined the audience in q broad
grin.
The twin brother, by the way. Is a
remarkable person-remarkable be-
cause of his lack of resemblance to his
twin, and for some other things also.
When we say it was Henry Stock
bridge, the difference is easily per-
ceived
William Desmond, he of the dark eye
and dignif1ed bearing, and Henry
Stockbridge, short and jocose--twins.
at is to laugh"
Obi cruel, unfeeling fate, to deal thus
with these two.
Blanche Hall is Cricket and she Is a
little less funny than some of the other
members in the cast. Phosa McAllister
appears this week as the witch. She
has not been seen at the Burbank for
weeks and her old friends were glad to
welcome her.
The stage sets are not funny but
yerv attractive, and one of the really
pretty features is a May pole dance.

HOTCHKlSS SINGERS
MAKE HIT IN
STANDARD OPERA

1.-THE Chimes Of Normandy" at the
Hotchlxiss this week, is good to look
upon and pleasant to hear. The opera
is cast we'll and the members of the
company are fully capable of their
work. Miss Kendall as Serpolette, the
ood-for-nothing. is a dainty, bewitch-
ing little parsonage. Her lines and
songs were interpolated with delight
fully demure business. More anima
tion is shown by the pretty members
of the chorus than has appeared in
some of the recent productions. Will
liam Herman West as Gaspard, the
old nliser, did remarkably well, espe-
cially in the second act Robert Pit
kin was not at his best in the part CT
Henri Marquis of Corneville. But
there is little in the role for any one.
"On Billows Rolling" the fishermans
song. was well sung by Percy Matson.
In standard operas such as "The
Chimes of Normandy the Hotchkiss
people do well. Miss De Val was in
good voice last evening, and as Ger
maine, the lost Warehouses she was
most satisfactory. Leo Adde, who
sang the Frank Daniels success, I'm
On the Water Wagon Now" was well
received.
The present week production is the
most creditable the Hotchkiss has put
on recently and more good standard
operas are to be hoped for.

CAN'T TALK AS THEY SHAVE
Ukase Issued by Their Protective

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 29.-"M-m-m-m-
m-m!"
Did you ever hear a man with his
lips tightly closed making noise like
this--like a bass-voiced bumblebee
who was mad clear through? That's
the way the BARRIERS in Bayonne. N. j.,
went about their lathering and shaw
ing and massaging and hair cutting
yesterday, and their conversation for
all future time is to be the same. That
is, unless a customer asks them d
question, for in this case they will re-
spond cheerfully and with such a flood
of English or Plattdeutsch or other
language as they may possess that he
may be sorry he spoke.
1t all came about after a stormy ses-
sion of the BARRIERS Protective union
when a resolution was passed that here
after no barber must hold conversa-
ton with a customer until he Is in
vited. The penalty for violation is OK
pulsion from the association.
Saracena, the barber commissioners
general of New York state, said yes
terday that If the rule had been
adopted in this city Senator Bracket
never would have introduced the bill
to abolish his commission. He threat
ened to move his shop to Bayonne.
