GRANTED DEMANDS
Organizer of MaChiniSts' Union
Says Number of Shops
Sign Agreements
REFUSES TO DIVULGE NAMES
Workers Secure an Eight-Hour
Dav and so Cents
an Hour
EFUISES TO DIVULGE NAMES

According to Stuart Reid, organ
izer of the machinists' union, over 100
strikers yesterday were granted their
demands of an eight-hour day and so
cents an hour. A number of shops
signed agreements which affected this
number of men, he said, but he declined
to give the names of the shops.
THE employers were promised that
their names would not be revealed un-
til they are ready" said Reid last
night. IF we were to disclose them
now the shops would be subjected to
oppression in every FORM
Reid asserts that an agreement was
made Friday with another shop, one of
the largest in the city, which employs
about 100 men. This shop, he said, was
almost totally deprived of help by the
strike movement. He also declined to
rveal the names Of the owners of this
esta ablishment.
Discussing the ordinance which was
submitted to the council Friday by City
Attorney Hewitt, which is intended to
prevent picketing of any nature, Reid
declares that such an action would be
contrary to state and national law. He
does not believe that the council will
pass the ordinance.
"The city administration has been
very fair with u.s. said Reid. I'VE
are very appreciative of the justice
that has been shown us. Mayor Alex
ander especially has been square with
us. Such men as he shall receive the
Endorsement of the new labor party.
Reid is confident that the battle has
already been won by the strikers.
A meeting was addressed by union
leaders at the Union Tool works yester-
day at noon. Nm interference was made
by the police.
The strikers will rest today and to-
morrow. No meetings of any impor-
tance will be held and no action will be
taken until Tuesday or later in the
week.
Employers are positive that the back
bone of the strike has been broken.
They claim that all places of strikers
have been filled with competent substi-
tutes. About one dozen injuncuions
have been granted and others are be-
ing prepared.

IRA MORRIS TO ACT
"HEROD" FOR CHARITY

CHICAGO, July 2.-In an elabor-
ate PRODUCTION of ''Herod," with Ira N.
Morris, millionaire packer, playing tne
title role and $50 society men ana
women making up the cast, Chlcago
will make it's most spectacular offerlhe
to charity this fall.
Although society has participated on
a wider scale in charity balls, the
Streets of Paris, the bal poudre ana
like functions in the past, it Is pre-
dicted that the attention that VIII De
attracted by this unique undertaking
the idea of Mr.. MorriS-Wlll ecllpSe
them ALL For three days next OCTOBER
Mr. Morris will appear as the jealous
King Herod at the Garrick theater III
Chicago, assisted by a company or am
ateur actors such as never before has
been gathered together in Chicago. All
of the proceeds will go to the chicago
Maternity hospital, of which Mr.. Nor
riS is patron.
Bent on making the production as
nearly perfect as plenty of money ana
scores of enthusiastic amateurs can
make it, Mr.. Morris will spend the
summer in Surrey, England, where ne
will be but few miles from the sum-
mer home of William Faversham, VINO
played the title role when "Herod' was
produced in America.
The packer and the actor will spend
much of their time together, according
to a cable dispatcn received by the
Record Herald last evening, and Mr
Morris hopes to make his debut on the
stage with the assistance of Mr.. Faver-
sham's own stage manager, Lionel
Belmore.
AS far as the costuming and scenery
are conc srned, the amateur production
will be much more eXtravagant than
the rich production that appeared at
the Garrick~ with Mr.. Faversham six
months ago. All Of the same scenic
effects and costumes will be used with
such additions as the ingenuity of Mr..
Faversham's manager and Mr. Morris
himself may suggest.
Mr.. Morris made the arrangement
with me before sailing for Europe"
said Herbert Duce, western manager
for the Shuberts, last evening. aside
from the fact that Miss Marian Red
Itch will play the leading lady, the 9TH
er members of the cast have not been
selected. Under the present plans, how
ever, it will be one of the most elabor-
ate entertainments of the kind ever
staged in Chicago"

through Italy before returning to Chi

WORKS TWO DAYS TO
OPEN EMPTY SAFE

NEW YORK, July 19.-After ex-
perts had worked on it for two days
the safe of the Mount Holly, N. j., Ma
tional bank was opened and within
few minutes the cashier, T. H. Lee,
found that $4,000 was missing He i'm
mediately had warrant issued for the
arrest of Clifford S. Heller, assistant
cashier who had not been seen in that
town since Sunday night. Heller lived
in a house directly connected with the
bank and had access to the institution
at all times.
The police believe he arranged the
time lock for release on Sunday, got
his booty that day and then changed
the combination so that the safe could
not be opened without the help of ex-
perts from the company that made it.
That gave plenty of opportunity to
escape before the defalcation was dis
covered. Lee said the shortage would
not affect the depositors. as Heller's
bond was for $4,000 and all negotia-
BILE papers and other securities seemed
to be intact. Heller's wife is still in
Monut Holly and says she does not
know where he is. He made frequent
trips to Philadelphia after banking
hours.
Further investigation of the banks
affairs may bring to light more sensa-
tional disclosures.

mentS on Record
MACHINE CANDIDATES TARDY

number of nominating petitions of
candidates indorsed by the Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican league were filed
yesterday with the city and county
clerk. On the petition of w. d. Ste
phens, candidate for congress- were
5000 names, 1900 of which had been
obtained within twelve hours on Fri
day. Thursday night Mr.. Stephens
petition had only 1900 names.
Others who filed their petitions yes
terday were Leslie Hewitt, candidate
for senator from the thirty eighth SEN
atorial district; Lee c. Gates, candi-
date for senator from the thirty-fourth
district; Charles w. Bell, candidate for
senator from the thrty-siXth district,
incumbent, and DR.. e. M. But
Ter, candidate for assemblyman from
the SEVENTEEN district. The remainder
of the legislative ticket candidates will
file their petitions Tuesday.
Surprise was expressed yesterday in
political circles at the backwardness
of machine candidates in filing their
petitions. With the exception of Harry
Barndollar, candidate for the assembly
from the sixty-ninth district, and Will
liam ]. Hanlon, candidate for assem-
blyman from the seventy-fourth dis
trict, not one of the candidates had
filed their petitions yesterday at noon,
at which time the clerks offices closed
until Monday morning.
In fact, it is said that with the eX-
ception of Candidates Barndollar, Han
lon Rech, Leeds and Ready, not one
of the machine men has taken out or
ders for verification deputies. If this
is true, it seems that other petitions
will not be filed at all, either because
of some special construction which has
been placed on the laws governing fill
ing of petitions or because of the de-
termination of the remainder of the
candidates to drop out Of the contest.
According to law the time has already
passed at which arrangements may be
made for these deputies.
It was said at Lincoln Roosevelt
headquarters yesterday that the eff
feet of the successful issue of the Good
Government campaign was to be seen
Friday and yesterday in the readiness
with which citizens signed the petit
tions of reform league candidates.

BENEDICT LAUDEO
. BY REFORM PARTY
Good Government Men Say He
Played Big Part ln-the
Sweeping Victory
is ASSEMBLYMAN CANDIDATE
Declares if Elected He viii Re-
store Power, Now USurped,
to the People
IS ASSEMBLYMAN CANDIDATE

Good Government leaders, in looking
over the reasons for the sweeping sue
cess of the campaign which eliminated
in victory for Good Government cam
didates and principles Thursday, give
no small amount of credit to the eff
forts of Henry Stanley Benedict, Re-
publican candidate for assemblyman
from the seventy-second district. Mr.
Benedict, who has been active in Good
Government movements since the es-
tablishment of the Good Government
organization, was among the most ac-
tive workers in the past fight. In the
west side of the city his influence was
plainly seen in the telling majority Of
votes cast for good men and right Is
sues.
Mr.. Benedict. who has received the
Endorsement of the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, Is now entering on the cam
paign in his district with renewed en-
ergy. In his contact with the people
in the Good Government fight he was
greatly encouraged by the spirit of
enthusiasm which was manifested in
the Lincoln Roosevelt league. He Is
convinced of the strength of the league
in his district, and he has become con-
fident of his ability, with the leagues
expression of approval to back him, of
carrying the section with powerful
majority.
FIGHTS MACHINE
The machine has a warm enemy in
Mr.. Benedict, and 1t is to help rob 1t
of its power in the legislature that he
has consented to become a candidate
for the assembly. He is firm in his
expression of his anti-machine prin-
ciples "I have had an idea since a
boy that the mass of the people should
rule" said Mr.. Benedict yesterday. ITO
get Just and fair legislation we must
get control of the legislature. l be-
lieve we can do it this year. We had
the majority last year. but we did not
know how to use 1t.
mo special interest. either political
or commercial, should be allowed to
usurp the power that rightfully be-
longs to the people.
"My main object in wishing to go to
the legislature is to assist in bringing
back to the people the power that mas
been taken from them by the machine:
If 1 am elected I shall represent all OF
the people and absolutely no special
interest"
Mr.. Renedict Is conservative in his
views, although he is known to be
fighter of the fiercest type when once
he enters a fray.
He has been a resident of Los An
peIes since he was 8 years old, ana ne
now holds large property interests In
the city.
He is a graduate of the Los Angeles
high school and is now a senior in the
law school of the University of South
ern California.
MAN OF EXPERIENCE
He Is now in the investment busi-
ness in Los Angeles. Since his grad
uation from high school he has held
responsible positions with large firms
in the city. For four years he was
with the Los Angeles Electric com
pany, holding at different times the
positions of cashier and paymaster
Later he was cashier Of the Edison
Electric company, and afterward pur-
chasing agent for the same firm
After four years with the Edison com
pany he became interested in the Cal
