Some Flying Rumors.
There can be no further guessing as to who
the candidates are for the Presidency of the
Window Glass Workers Association. The
committee appointed to visit the nominees
reported at the regular meeting of L. A. 300
last evening and presented the list of
those VINO will battle for the honors of the
office and the $1,000 which it pays. The
candidates are Patrick Clarey and John P.
Ebernart, Pittsburg cutters; William A.
Wallace. of New Jersey: L. c. Haler and
John G. Schlicker, of Pittsburg, blowers;
Simon Burns, of Rock Island, ILL.,, gath
erer. The names of Wallace and Schlicker
are new ones.
As stated few days ago in THE DIS
PATCH. Secretary Cake is not candidate.
He addressed a very neat letter of declina-
tion to the Assembly last night, thanking
his friends for the honor of the nomination
and stating his reasons for not accepting,
which were practically the same as those
already stated in these columns. Ex-Presi-
dent Campbell and Treasurer AL. Hammett
also clung to their original statement that
they would not be candidates.
ANYBoDY's FIGHT NOW.
At present it is anybody's fight. 1t will
be one of the hottest contests in the history
of the association. To many, Eberhart ap-
pears to be in the lead, with Clarey dan
gerous second. 1t is known that ex-Presi-
dent Campbell favors Mr.. Eberhart
and all sorts of combinations are be-
ing formed, both in the East and West,
as well as in Pittsburg, to defeat him. Wal
lace, the New Jersey man, was put up at the
last hour for that purpose. Mr.. Burns, the
Western man, is expected to carry the pre-
ceptories in his district In Pittsburg Eber-
hart will be opposed by Clarey and Haler,
who are working together. Whichever of
these is defeated on the first ballot is to
work for the other on the second.
The voting sheets will be sent to the pre-
ceptories on Monday, March II, and they
will be returned on April 5. The result of
the first ballot will not be known until
April II.
GETTING AROUND THE LAW.
1t is rumored that President Bodine, of
the National Window Glass Manufacturers
Association, who has just started his tank
factory at Bridgeton, n. j., has written to
President Campbell in regard to furnishing
men for the tank. In his application he
hinted that he would like the same privi-
lege of getting men that was said to have
been given Chambers & Mckee. 1t is also
said that number of members advocated
the idea OF opening the gates and allowing
foreigners to take the positions They
stated that the men could be brought over
without violating the letter of the law.
Reports about the different candidates for
President are flying thick and fast. One of
the statements is to the effect that certain
candidate worked as salesman in Gusky's
during the summer shut down. Last sum-
mer when his factory closed down he applied
for position. The members OF l.. A. 1907
objected to the man, claiming that he would
keep regular salesman out of work, and
upon a threat to strike he was not hired.
