The fight was confined to the question of
fusion with the Populists on the state
ticket. 1t was a battle between the large
delegation from Milwaukee county against

The outside delegates finally came out
victorious when a vote on the resolution
to allow the Popuists to name candidate

proval of this convention. was lost. the

THEY COULD NOT AGREE.
Refuse Point BIang to
Increase the Scale of
WaRea


INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Sept. 1.-The con-
ference between the wage committee of
the union glassbowers of the United States
and Canada and the wage committee of the
flint bottlemakers which has been in ses-
sion two days in this city trying to agree
SO that the factories might arrange to
start the first week in September at the
usual time came to an abrupt ending this
afternoon by the firm declaration of the
bottlemakers that they would grant no
increase in wages whatever, and that they
would enforce a lockout until the men re-
turn to work at the present wages. They
also announced that they will not treat
with the men again unless the committee
comes authorized to act for the union and
to accept the present scale.
The committee Of blowers held subse-
quent meeting at the Occidental hotel and
decided under TO circumstances to accept
the present scale for another year and, in
order to afford employment to the out
tories will be started by the men. Just
how many or where they will be located
was not decided on.
Thus the second conference to secure
settlement Of the wages scale for the COM
ing year has proved Intellectual. and MEM
bers of the committee of blowers declare
emphatically that they will ask for no more
conferences. They say that IL i5 a question
as to whether the manufacturers would
sooner have strike of skilled laborers on
their hands than pay the scale demanded.
The manufacturers declare that IL Is not a
strike. but lockout. that is on. that every
non-union labor, and that it is not diff
cult matter to break in green hands and
make skilled blowers of them.
this country and Canada were to have
started UP to-day. There are about sixty
factories. employing about 5000 men. af-
fected by the failure to agree on a wage
scale.
The failure to agree is interpreted by the
manufacturers committee as of great ad-
vantage to the non-union factories which
already make more than half of the bottles
made in the United states and Canada.
