THEATERs STRIKE
Quit Because Demands For Big
Salary Increase Are Not Fully
Met-Men Being Imported.

The threatened strike OF the union
musicians making up the local thea
ter orchestras became a fact, Monday
morning. when the management Of
the Temple theater was served with
notice that Director AL Green and
the nine men making up that thea
ter's orchestra would not play at the
opening of the weeks bill, Monday AZ.
ternoon. The Garrick theater was
given similar notice. but In expecta'
ton of such contingency the man
agement of that house had taken the
precaution last week to secure an
orchestra of non-union men. and at
the opening, Monday night. OF the
Jessie Bonstelle Stock company, the
orchestra players were sthere under
the leadership of Prof Jonn ]. Meur-
er. The strike of the men Is due to
refusal of the theater managers to
accede to the demands made by the
union for a big increase in wages.
The Temple, Bayety and Avenue
play two performances a day and
have been on the same scale OF
wages heretofore-$22 to the players
and $40 to the leaders per week, al
though in the case Of AL Green, our
director, we have given him $50 per
week." said Manager Charles Will
liams, of the Temple, Monday noon.
Green has been with us 10 years
and, of course, We have an all-the-
year. round season OF 81 weeks. The
other houses, Detroit, Garrick ana
Lyceum and the Avenue and Gayety,
too. for that matter, run much shorter
seasons. averaging perhaps 35 weeks,
although summer engagements fire.

of the Vaughan CHASER company In
the Lyceum, and now the opening OF
the Garrick and Detroit earlier than
the usual season. In those houses
Detroit, Garrick and Lyceum-the
scale has been SIT per week for the
players, the leaders, I believe, having
been paid according to individual ar
rangement with the manager employ
ing them. The demand made by the
men was for fiat increase to $26
per week for the players and $50 for
the leaders. We offered them wa

The Temple imported piano play
er from New York, and with the as
sistance OF a grand piano he played

Heretofore the utmost loyalty and
good feeling has existed between the

same men anywhere from three to %
years.
The union representatives refuse to
make any statement with regard TO
their position or demands.

EDITOR WEFVLY:
Presuming that enough has been
written on wheat, corn, hay and
cotton growing, | shall give my
ideas on another subject, mutual
protection. BY mutual protection
Ismean more stringent methods Of
protection for the people in their
rights. and especially their personal
property.
The writer is and has been for
quite awhile greatly in favor Of
some means by which people will
be more secure in their earthly
possessions than they are now, and
the best known remedy other than
tie lock and old shot gun is by
putting a pair of trained blood
hounds at the county court house to
be used not only for aiding the
officers in suppressing crime, but 10
serve as q check upon the depreda-
tions that are committed in Monroe
county. The writer knows of
several outrageous acts that have
been committed here of late to
Justify our honorable Board of
Supervisors to see that at as early
date as possible the people Of

fact that we had at last fs'len in

The presence of dogs in county
would to great extent lessen the
amount of meanness that is and has
been going on.

ward offered by the Sheriff Of a

trained hounds and bear the expense
for keeping them for twelve months.
Then, since other progressive
counties have found that dogs are
SO valuable in suppressing crime.

ject would certainly not be an
experiment.

A Stepping Stone.

In ante-bellum days, especially
in the South, the governorship of a
state was regarded as higher honor
than senatorship. Jefferson Davis
resigned from the United States
senate to become the unsuccessful
candidate of his party for governor
of Mississippi. Since the war, how
ever. there has come a change, and
the governorship of a state is re-
garded very generally as a stepping
stone to the senate. There are at
present twenty three members of
the senate who served statez as gov
ernors-twelye from the South and
eleven from other parts. The sem
atoTs who are former governors are,
Johnston, Clarke, Davis, Perkins,
Bulkeley, Cullom, Cummins, Brad

The town or community that
wants to grow and prosper, must
lay aside all petty Jealousies and
pull together. 4 house divided
against its self cannot stand. If
the people of any community will
devote their energies in the estab-
fishing and encouraging Of mills
and factories, the opening of farms
and other enterprises Of like
character, that community will
grow and prosper and every indi-
vidual member Of the common
wealth will be benefited to some
degree. The first step toward ac-
complishing this result is the or
ganization of the business men of
the community into a body that
can act as unit, This organiza-
ton could at its meeting first dis

known To be very much concerned
about keeping Percy ia the senate.
The hot house care bestowed up
on the soft youug senator from
