OPPOSED TO INJUNCTIONs.
BOTTLE Blowers Convention Cheers
Milwaukee's Mayor,

Milwaukee, July 9.-The feature OF
yesterdays session of the twenty It'll
annual convention of the Glass BOttl,
Blowers Association of the United
States and Canada was the denunciatioi
! by Mayor Rose Of the injunction against
the striking machinists and his other pro.
labor utterances. He said he knew
nothing about blowing bottles, but could
keep somebody busy filling them. Then
the convention cheered, and later in the
session elected him an honorary member.
In his address the mayor stated that
''the mere fact that cheap injunction
had been issued by cheaper court com
missioner will not Justify the world in
condemning Milwaukee as being in sym
pathy with the movement against the
striking machinists."
President Hayes, of the association. in
his response, said the object of the Glass
Blowers Association was to make it
possible for the workmen to enjoy some
Of the pleasures of life, but that 'in
pursuing the object and trying to remain
with their rights, they were often. as in
Milwaukee. hampered by injunctions.
lie added that there is never any
trouble over wages, as glass manufact,ir-
rrs recognized the worth of their EN-
ployes and paid the wages they earned.
Tie spoke sympathetically of the machin-
list and steel strikes, and predicted the

GLASS WORKERS IN SESSION
clint Men and Bottle Blowers to Fix
Wage Scales.

Atlantic City, July 9-The American
FLINT Glass Workers Union is holding
is biennial convention here and will
ontinue in session during the coming
ortnight.
About 500 delegates are present The
,fiicers are: President and treasurer,
'ohn Kunzler; vice president, Charles
Iotel; secretary, John l.. Dobbins assist
Mt secretary, William J. Glare.
The delegates were in executive session
today. The committee on credentials
net and reported, and the order of bust
less was adopted. Two places are in the
iield for the holding of the next conven-
ton, Alexandria, Md, and Wheeling,
w. Va, with chances largely in favor
II the latter.
An interesting feature of the present
iession is that it il simultaneous with the
convention Of the Glass Bottle Blowers
association at Milwaukee, and both
bodies will submit the scale Of prices
,doptcd to the employers conference,
which meets here July 30.
The more than probable detection of
he prescription bottle makers from the
Tint workers into the ranks Of the glass
bottle blowers gives especial Importance
o the gatherings of the two bodies. The
interests OF the prescription bottle blow
RS are identical with those OF the glass
hottie blowers, since their scale of wages
Is fixed by the latter organization. Since
heir interests have become common the
lesirability of the former uniting thcil
forces with the latter has been freely
discussed. and it is known that fully 81
per cent. Of the flint glass bottle blowers
favor such step. This question will be
come an interesting issue. and n delega
tion of the flint men will go to Milwaukee,
from this city to confer on the matter
The subject is likely to cause much dis
cussiOn.
The present membership Of the Film
Union Is 1000, and that of the Glas,
Blowers Association is 5000. The head
quarters of the former are in pittsbur.
