Inc nature Of presiding officers

An athletic miner was in the chair at
a political meeting in New South
wales just before close and exciting
election. One OF the candidates was
present to speak.
During his address he was interrupt
ca by hootings and rough chan. and
the chairman was soon in a state OF
boiling indignation. Smothering his
wraln, however. he paeified the boys
by assuring them that at the end OF
the candidates speech they should
have the liberty to put any questions
they choose. Accordingly, at the end
OF the harangue he rose and inquired
In stentorian tones. and in a rich Irish
brogue:
Has my gintleman a question to
airsk?"
A stout little Welsh miner, who had
been conspicuous disturber of the
peace of the evening, shuf1ed slowly
up the steps of the platform, but al
the top he was met by the chairman
who, without the slightest warning. de-
livered terrific left and Fighter, and
sent the Welshman SPRAYING on his
back:

les: 1.-THE leading and most commend
able feature of the management Of pub

cipality is interested. Whatever debts
IL has are on the sure and safe road
TO liquidation by the automatic opera

this means the city of Glasgow will,

The city's affairs are managed by
business men with the same prudence
with which they would manage their
own affairs: the question of party poll

IL seems to be the object OF the munich

The last convention OF the American
Federation Of Labor selected the ma
chinists and pressrnen 10 lead OF In
the iong-talked- about advance which
organized labor was 10 make in es-
fablishing the eight-hour day. That.
however. Is practically ali that IT did.
for no provision whatever was made
for supporting these internationals
when once they plunged into the cam
paign except the moral support Of the
Federation. II was as IL the United
States government were TO designate
an army 10 land in Cuba with the un-
derstanding that the army was TO find
and ammunition-the government only
extending It's moral support. The re-
suit OF this. clearly foreseen and fore
told by leading trades unionists, Is that
there was no demonstration of any
kind on May ]. no demand anywhere
by either Of the unions for the shorter
workday.
Grand Master Machinist James o.
Cornell. of the International Associa-
tion OF Machinists and metal workers,
issued an address in which he says:
Considering the gravity OF the ques-
ton involved. the vote cast by our or
ganization on the ACCESSIBILITY OF de-
handing q working day OF eight hours
on May ] next has been source OF
worry and disappointment to your
grand lodge officers One would think
an important question like this would
have brought forth referendum vote
that would he phenomenal for its thor
oughness and closeness to our total
membership. II didn't. Less than
one-quarter OF our totaiity thought the
question of sufficient Importance TO
record vote for or against Il. This
Was disheartcning. and. after deep
thought and deliberation. forced your
executive officers to the conclusion that
where so much indifference was dis
played no solidarity OF action could be
counted upon should the demand be
made. To attempt a movement OF
such gigantic proportions without a
majority OF our organization behind the
effort would be criminal. To make the
attempt without counting the cost and
the chances of success would only end
in disaster both TO the individuals In
volved and the organization. To ar
tempt II without unanimity OF opin-
ion that the time and the organization
were ripe would be betraying those
that thought the time for action had
arrived. The indifference displayed
proves that the time is not ripe, neither
Is our organization ready. When men
know what they want and when II Is
wanted, they emphasize their knowl-
edge by the unanimity with which thew
make II known. Weighing the matter
thus. your executive officers have come
to the conclusion that II would be sui
eide to make the demand on the date
proposed. Therefore, no general move
ment for the eight-hour day will be
made on May by the International
Association of Machinists."
The pressmen followed the example
of the machinists. Local members Of
both organizations attribute the indif-
ference to the fact that the American
Federation of Labor practically an
nounced that any international at-
tempting to gain the eight-hour day
must do so on the same chances for
success that would exist had the Fed
