men at the Aetna-Standard are de5ir-
GUS of organizing and there was con-
siderable talk as to the head such an
organization would come under. 1t

local, if formed, would be under
the juris diction of the Amalgamated
Association, and that the whole mat

it is customary for it to prove its
own organizers where there is de-
mand for the same.
The blacksmiths of Martins Ferry,
who have formed local of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, had three
delegates present, who were obligated.

trouble in getting all the blacksmiths
of that town in line, but that the OBJ
jectors have since expressed an in
clnation to join the local.
The meeting adjourned until 2
o'clock August Goth, when it is ex
pected to have all arrangements made
for the Labor Day demonstration on
