be held responsible for any breakage after
the glass leaves his hands. The wages of
the fiatteners and cutters are averaged on
the earnings of the blower and it is this
average that has caused all the present
trouble and is keeping the factories silent
Under the new arrangement all this will be
remedied and will once more bring the four

Charles w. Jones was born in Dublin,
Ireland, in 1884, and came to this country
when quite a child. At the age of fourteen
years he went to the Scum. The educa-
ton he received was obtained through the
assistance of a distinguished Baptist clergy
man and the fruits of his own boyish labor.
His whole life was a fierce struggle with
what the world considers unfavorable cir
cumstances. After earning with his own
hands sufficient means TO support himself
while preparing for the bar, he commenced
the study of law and was admitted to prac.
tice in Florida in 1855 At the time he en-
tered politics. in 1874, he was one Of the
most successful lawyers in that State. In
the fall of that year his Democratic friends
persuaded him to become a candidate for
representative of his county in the Legis
lature. 1t was Il Republican stronghold,
but he was elected, and took a seat for the
first time in political body in January,
1875. At this session of the Legislature an
election was held for United States senator.
The Legislature was equally divided be-
tween the two regular parties, and the bal
ance of power was in the hands of the in
dependent members, who refused to act
with either. After a struggle extending
nearly through a month, during which
many of the leading men of the State were
candidates, Mr.. Jones was finally put in
nomination by his party, and on the second
ballot elected to the United States Senate
with the support of the independents. He
took his seat in the Senate at the executive
session convened on the 4th of March, 1875.
His first speech was at this session, in OPP
position to the military policy of the Grant
administration in Louisiana. AT the fol-
lowing regular session of Congress he took
prominent part in the Impeachment trial
of Belknap. When the Senate was deter

His position on this question was remark
