New York, July 19.-Amalgamation of
the Federation of Labor and the Western
Order of Labor is being discussed. The
subject was discussed at the meeting of
the executive committee of the federation
today.
W.. D. Boyce and Samuel Yafnell of the
Western Federation were authorized to
enter into an agreement to be put to a
vote to adopt or reject, in the various cen
trail bodies making up the Western Fedora
ton, and to be passed upon py the Ameri-
can Federation at it's meeting in December
next at Louisville.
John H. McDermott, president of the AS
ISOLATED Labor Press of America, appeared
before the conference today and in behalf
of the labor press urged amalgamation
The Western Federation Is made up of
unions in Colorado, Idaho. Montana, Utah,
Wyoming, the two Dakotas, a part of Ne
braska, Arizona, New Mexico, Washing
ton, and it has also some representation In
mately, $4,000 men. 1t was organized in
1897, when the western states withdrew
from the American Federation of Labor
because they were denied what they re-
garded as proper representation on the ex-
ecutive committee. The oyertures for am
nexation came from the American Fedora
ton, and were favorably received by the
Western Federation.
The executive council of the American
Federation has made an appropriation of
81 1000, and levied an assessment of two
the federation for the benefit of the locked
out cigarmakers of New York city, men,
bers of the international Cigarmakers'
union. The assessment will affect $50, 600

FAVOR SECOND SERIES.
PROPOSITION FOR BALL TEAMS
TO START ON EVEN TERMS.
Helena May Oppose the idea but Di-
rectors Have Hopes Of Win
ming Her Over.

The scheme of conceding to Helena the
championship of the series of SO games,
which will have been played this week.,
meets with very general approval, and
it is not improbable that the directors
Of the Montana League of Professional
Baseball clubs will officially sanction the
plan at a meeting to be held in the very
hear future.
The plan contemplates a second series
of 36 games, and at the end of the sec
ond series the club standing at the top
of the percentage column will play off
a series of five games with Helena, and
the pennant and honOrs would go to the
winning team.
lection to the scheme would be Helena,
and the concensus of opinion among the
local magnates is that those interested
in the promotion n perpetuation of the
sport in the capital will appreciate the
virtue Of the plan and endorse it.
In reply to the telegram of the local
directors, outlining the plan. President
w. r. Phillips of the Helena team wired
the following answer this morning:
"On first thought out people are OPP
posed to the two series plan. However,
I think with proper stipulations regard
it. A board meeting, called here this
week. might accomplish the desired re-
suits"
With the disastrous experience of
TTeSiu6IlC lAuCdS d1lO Director MCCOr-
mick fresh in their minds the directors of
the local team wired an answer to the
effect that they did not care to cross
the range. They suggested that Presi-
dent Lucas call a meeting of the direct
ors of he Helena club and submit the
plan to them. If the Helena directors
did not approve of the plan the matter
to be dropped. But If the scheme met
with Helena's approval the local men
suggested that Helena ask for the meet
in" of the state directors.
So it's all up to Helena, and in the
opinion of the local magnates the future
of the game in Montana depends very
largely on Helena's decision.
Director Frank stated this morning
that he wished to deny a, statement pub
ished in a morning paper to the effect
that Devereaux, the crack third base
man of the coast. had been signed for
Butte and the tn management contem-
plated putting Dunleavy in center fl 4.
THE statement is an error" said Mr..
Frank. "Dunleavy has been doing ex-
cellcnt work at third and has been hit
ting the bill hard and often. We want
him to STAY where he is. There will be
no changes in the field. The boys in the
outfield have heen eating up everything
hat goes their way. and they suit us.
We propose to make no more changes,
and hone that the season of experiment
tation is at an end"
