LABOR TROUBLE
 IN CINCINNATI. Conflict Grows Out of the Old
 Brewery Question ENGINEERS HOLD MEETING Attempt to Force an Organization to Take Place of Union Whose Charter Was Recently Revok-
 ed After Injunction Order.
ENGINEERS HOLD MEETING

Cincinnati. April 27.-serious trouble was narrowly averted today at a meet ing called to organize local union of stationary engineers, to take the place of Union No. IS, whose charter was re- gently revoked in connection with the protracted trouble between the engineers and the United Brewery workmen.
 The executive council of the American Federation of Labor ten days ago or dered the engineers to shut off steam in breweries employing non-union men. The brewery proprietors secured an injunc- tion. When the engineers complied with the order of the court, which was in conflict with the order of the Federation, their charter was revoked. The old of hcers and members of Union No. IS ap- peared at Workmen's Hall today to ex- plain that their charter had not been reg ularly or legally revoked and to protest against organizing a new local union un- til the order of the court was disposed of. None of these old members were admitted to the hall and some of them were rough ly handled on the outside. A temporary union was afterward organized which will senu It's application to the interna- tional union for admission and a meet ing will be held here next Sunday to perfect permanent organization under the new charter that is expected by that time.
 None of the engineers employed in the breweries in Cincinnati, Newport and Cov- ington Joined the new union. They claim that they are still members of Union No. lS, whose charter they hold was not re- voked in the proper manner and that they are prevented from complying with the finding of the American Federation by a restraining order of the court The fight today has intensified the feeling here among those involved in the brewery lockout which has been in progress for months.

STREET RAILWAY FIGHT,
Dallas Has an Interesting War Be. tween Foreign and Local Capitalists

Dallas. Tex, April 27.-Local interests, together with wealthy Eastern capitalists, are now involved in an exciting street railway fight in Dallas. The franchise granted to A. K. Bonta and associates for a line to parallel the Consolidated railroad, Is temporarily held up by the police commission.

Many of them welcome the viz orous competition of the new company which Is already shipping cars and con- struction material and has large eletric power plant.
 Mass meetings have been held to dis ouss the feasibility of allowing the new company to lay four tracks in addition to the four already down on Main street and the police commission is expected to act on the matter tomorrow night

WHAT DOES IT MEANp

The columns of this week.

complimentary and highly flatter.
my press notices concerning the
candidacy for Congress of the
Honorable Il. j. Bowers. 1t i.

teemed privilege TO echo these
editorial expressions, represent.

Indicator of the public feeling.
NO agency mirrors more truthful
! ~ the views and represents the
wishes of the people than the
public press; no medium Is in
closer touch and responds more
quickly to the public pulse than
the press, hence its position of
power, influence and reliability.
1t IS for this reason The Echo
with pardonable pride has on 9th.
or aud on this occasion reproduce
ed what the press has been saying
OF Mr.. Bowers anu. his candidacy.
These opinions carry weight as no
Others can. They represent what
Others are saying. IF we would
dwell in our own opinion solely
some individuals would venture
the assertion that we are prelu-
diced to the other candidates and
partial to our favorite.
No candidate has ever enioyed
similar confidence, more solid
popularity than this young states
man and intrepid leader Of Dem
ocracy who is now seeking the
Democratic nomination to repre-.
sent his people in Congress; no
candidate has ever been more de-
serving of this splendid tribute
tribute that has q backing, that
represents something of public
appreciation and enthusiasm than
he. 1t is, TO say the least, re-
markabIe. But again not remark
able To those best acquainted with
the man and know this young
giant of superior intelligence,
talent, vigor, energy and undaunt-
ed courage.
Is 1t necessary to ask, What
does 1t tmean? these editorial opin-
ions, almost solid in n phlanx for
Mr.. Bowers. They answer them
selves. They proclaim the fore
election of Mr.. Bowers; that he
towers head and shoulders over
his opponents; that he is the re-
cognlzed leader.
The die is cast. T.. j. Bowers
goes to Congress. The people
and press SO will it.
