DUNMORE DOINGS.
Borough Council Is Deadlocked on
the Question of Awarding Con-
tract for Sewer.

The borough council held short and
exceedingly interesting session at the bor-
ough building last evening, with all mem-
berse present. The purpose of the meet
ing was the awarding of the sewer con-
tract. but the large number present were
once more disappointed, the members be-
ing unable to agree as to the lowest and
most responsible bidder.
After long secret session. Mr.. Doudi-
can reported to the council, for the sewer
committee, that the majority of the COM
mittee reported that there were only two
responsible bidders, Donohue & O'Boyle
and M. j. Gibbons, OF Scranton. Mr.
Brogan dissented from the committees 8
finindings. Donhue & O'Boyle bid was
s67, 7,6SS.S5 and NJ. ]. Gibbons bid was s74,-
53435 A resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Mclaughlin, awarding the contract
to Donohue & O'Boyle, but the motion
to adopt was lost Messrs. Mclaughlin,
Brogan and Doudican being in favor of.
and Messrs. O'Boyle, Conry and McAllis-
ter against. Mr.. McAllister then intro
duced a resolution awarding the con-
tract to M. j. Gibbons, but the vote re-
mained the same and the resolution was
lost as before.
The matter upon which the members
appear to be divided Is in the amount
of rock to be removed. The estimate Of
ex-Borough Engineer knight gives as, 900
hue & O'Boyle's bid was 35c per foot for
rock work and Gibbons price was so per
foot. While the total figures show
OBoyle Donohue to be about $1,000 low,
1t is claimed by the friends of Gibbons
that the amount of rock estimated is
high, and that figuring on 10000 feet Of
rock, which is more likely, would bring
the bids less than 500 apart.
The bid of the Joseph Hendler Con-
struction company, of Wilkes-B Barre. was
not considered, as the sewer committee
had decided that they We're not respon-
sble, owing to their being now engaged
In some litigation In I.uzerne county. 1t
was understood that, as matters stand,
their bid is the lowest before councils,
their price for rock work being 2S cents
per foot. 1t would seem that their GER
titled check for $780, to be forfeited in
case of their failure to execute a can
tract and give $4,000 bond within ten
days should be a sufficient guarantee
to justify the council In awarding them
the contract, and then, In the event OF
their failure to qualify, the certified
check would more than pay any addi-
tional expense that might be incurred.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Something About the Biggest Labor
Union in the Country.

Ray Stannard Baker in Worlds Work.
The greatest of all American organ
izations is the American Federation of
Labor, of which Samuel Gompers is
president, with headquarters in WASH
ington. A great combination of ma
tional and international unions, with
yearly conventions of delegates, a staff
of well-paid officers and organizers, an
extensively circulated magazine, this
federation includes nearly all the great
national and international unions. The
American Federation of Labor was
founded in 1881 and Is now made up of
eighty-two national and international
unions, composed of 9,494 local unions,
16 state federations, 206 city central
labor unions, and 1,051 local unions not
attached to national bodies. The total
membership is over 1,25000O-a body of
men united for the single purpose of
advancing the cause of labor, and yet
taking no political action. This num-
Der represents something more than
three-quarters of all the trade unionists
in America.
The Federation is supported by a
small tax on affiliated organizations,
its receipts last year being about $71,-
900, its expenses S6S,000, mostly for sal
aries and organizing expenses. and for
the annual convention. Its chief work
consists in securing legislation in the
