riman gave to the question of what
changes in railroad circles would re-
suit from the conference between him
self and several of his ieutenants, TO
be begun a t Pasadena tomorrow
The answer was similar to all 9TH
ers he had to make to questions re-
garding future railroad policies and
things vital to the new prosperity
wave.
The special train which brought
Hartman and party from Mexico was
backed from Cotton to Riverside this
afternoon and the members of the
party spent the afternoon in automo-

growing city. Later the train went
to Pasadena, and the party is at the

PARIS, March 14-Paris is now
threatened with general strike of the
telegraph and telephone operators en-

AS result Of energetic measures of
the authorities in suppressing the strike
OF the telegraph operators who isolated
Paris for four hours yesterday. 40 of

office on Friday night are under arrest
The president of the general associa-
ton Of postal and telegraph employees,
Subra, is among those suspended.
The regular labor leaders. like Sec
retary Pataud OF the electricians union
are doing their utmost to bring about
a strike. They offered TO cooperate
with the postal employees in the hope
Of accomplishing the object for which
they have long labored. that is TO in
duce the state servants to make COM
mon cause with the labor organizations
The immediate cause of the trouble
was the attempt of the postal teIe-
ment a reversal of the government plan
10 introduce a partial merit system of
promotion to replace the present sys-
TEN OF promotion. which was solely on
seniority.
The general labor situation in France
has caused much discussion for years.
The labor organizations as regarded by
the government are very tyrannical.
and the general confederation of labor
is almost an avowedIy revolutionary
orga anization.
The strike leaders conferred far
into the night, drawing up plans for
tomorrow. In addition TO the tele-

Two old favorites were given well
come back to San Francisco yesterday
at the American theater One was
the play itself, The Burgomaster,' .
and the other was Harry Hermsen, an
old friend of Fischer days, who has
returned, for the first time since the
fire, to portray the part of that jolly
citizen of New Amsterdam who took a
nap of a couple of centuries and
awoke to find himself in twentieth
century New York.
The BJEgomaster" has wandered
into San Francisco many times, yet it
has still to grow passe or tiresome.
And the reason? Just because it lives
up to its title of musical comedy
and is what good many "musical |
comedies are not-both tunefuI and
funny. And the present production of
this play that wears so well welcomes
comparison with any that has ever
been given in San Francisco.
JUST A BIT DIFFERENT
Harry Hermsen is a little bit different
from the several burgomasters who
have gone before, and 1t may be said
without offense to the burgomasters
who have preceded him to San Fran
cisco that the little bit helps He gives
u.
from fulfilling the humorous require
Hents of the role, has decided color
ing of his own personal brand of COM
eey, and those who remember his sue
cesses al Fischer's theater know that
the Hermsen brand Is good. There is
scarcely minute of the time that
Hermsen is on the stage that goes by
without a laugh His face is a study
In changing expression: his rolling of
iz hi Il
manner is productive of fun that is
infectious
Hermsen, however, is merely the head
or a comet with brilliant tail. His
supporting company is excellent, and
many individual members share with
him the llonors and applause 1t is sell
dom that a road show is found after
several seasons with a personnel OF
players as uniformly satisfying as those
in The Burgomaster,v and it is also
unusual to dnd so many old faces still
in the cast.
