The New HavenS scored one run in the third, four in the seventh and one each in the eighth and ninth, making a total of fifteen. The Forest City team was unable to hit Mran un- til the fifth, when they scored four runs. Three more were added to their credit in the sixth and in the seventh they landed all over Miran.

tc make settlements on all questions
or controversies that may arise be-
tween the workers and the employ.
e.s.
JOINT SCALE CONFERENCE.
The referendum system Is unknown
in the bottle blowers organization.
The scale for each year is agreed upon
in a Joint conference between the ex-
ecutive board of the association and q
board representing the employers.
All questions of dispute are always
settled in these conferences and by
this non-referendum the workers di-
rectly have no voice in such settle
ment. Seven thousand blowers are
represented by the national associa-
tor.
Mayor Bell of Massillon, is one Of
the eight members of the national ex-
ecutive committee of the Glass Bot
tie Blowers organization. Before his
election as the city's executive he, was
actively engaged as bottle blower.
ASSOCIATION TAX.
Every bottle blower in the United
States pays into the national treasury
one per cent. of his earnings. The
sum thus aceruing is used for the
protection and for bettering the con-
ditions of the industry and to create
reserve fund in case more than or
binary trouble should arise between
the workers and their employers.
The Massillon blowers have a local
organization which meets every two
weeks On Saturday evenings. Each
local organization is sort of a mutual
life insurance company. Every men,
ber is required to carry $500 life
insurance policy. At his death this
is paid to his family or his nearest
representative. No medical examina-
tion is required for the holding of a
policy.
ARE GOOD CITIZENS.
The glass blowers are, as a rule,
the best Of citizens. BY reason of
the high wages they command. most
of them own their own homes and are
permanent residents.
Besides the glass bottle industry as
an industry by itself it fosters other
local industries. A large amount OF
sand OF a certain quality is required
in the manufacture of glass. This
sand is quarried near Masslllon and
a great part of the product of the
quarries is utilized in the Masslllon
factories.

Toledo to be filed by the enormous
overflow from the tent. The crowd
may even have exceeded the great
gathering at Toledo and $500 Is very
modest estimate of the vast assemb-
lege that drank in the words of the
mayor and Mr.. Bigelow. For the first
time in the course of the cross-coun-
try campaign Mayor Johnson person
ally and bitterly denounced Charley
Dick, the Akron congressman. Dick
has caused to be published in the
rural Republican papers a series Of
articles over bis signature purportins
to be questions for the mayor to an
swer.
This is the home of Dick" said the
mayor. I'VE have heard lot OF NUT
terings from him in the last few days
He has had lot of letters addressed
to me by a squad of clerks hired for
this purpose and has spread them
broadcast for use in the Republican
country papers. l have answered
Dicks queries by inviting him to come
to the tent and say what he has to
say. and I have promised to give him
answers to all his questions so far as
am able. Hoped that would find
him in town today. wanted to ask
him especially to come to the tent TO-
night, and I had even intended to en-
gage special carriage to take, him
out.
But Dick, they tell me, has gone
out Of the city. He has not the ex-
cuse Of not knowing that I was to be
here, or Of not knowing that I have
volunteered to answer all his ques-
tions. He has a special stenographer
with the tent who keeps him informa
ed Of all that is said and done. 1t
would really have given me great
pleasure to answer his questions and
perhaps to ask him few myself. You
know he is running for office and I
am not, and it is usually the man who
is running for office who is called
upon to answer questions. believe
that yonr Dick is one of these coura-
geous individuals who are very brave
behind closed doors with a pen and
ink, but who do not dare TO come out
in the open and face their opponents
with the charges and ISLANDERS which
they so freely scatter broadcast,
Among the other things Dick asked

to be ugly, but I might with equal
propriety ask Mr.. Dick II he pays his
debts" AT this sally the great con-
course broke into tumult of joyful
howls and cheers. which lasted for
three minutes.
= Evidently you people here at home
know him." said the mayor, when the
tumult had subsidized This evoked an
other avalanche of applause. Dick
was once a county auditor" continued
the speaker. 81 never knew it before
today. His great bitterness may in
part be explained by the fact thatjit
is one of my chief pleasures to- skin

Raised Trouble In House
Of Commons.
.BALFOUR'S ACTION
Reused the Storm Which Led
to O'DonneIl's Suspension
- Shook Fist In Pre-
mier's Face.

London, Oct. 17.-During an exciting
rcene. in the house of commons yes
terday, Premier Balfour moved the
suspension of John O'Donnell, and the
latter crossed the floor, stood in front
of Mr.. Balfour,- and shouted defiance,
and shook his fist in the premier's
face. Mr., O'Donnell was suspended
by a vote of 341 to 51.t lr' ,aooi
The sitting opened with, q turbulent
debate. Premier Balfour moved that
the remainder of the session be entire
ly devoted to government business,
which, he explained, would d, consist
mainly of the discussion Of the ,edu-
cation and London water bills, while
the Indian budget, the Uganda rail-
road, sugar bounties, and the supply
vote would enable the procedure to
be carried out. The Transvaal, he
added, would also require attention.
James Bryces leading the Liberals in
the absence of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, made a mild protest, and
then came a storm. &
. Patrick O'Brien, sitting in the place
usually occupied by John Redmond,
the Irish leader in the house, asked
that at least a day between now and
Christmas be devoted to the discus
sion of the serious state of affairs
N Ireland.
Mr.. Balfour replied that If the re-
quest for such an opportunity came
from the Liberal leaders the govern
ment would grant 1t, but they could
not notice IL from the Irish party.
William O'Brfen thereupon made an
inpassioned Speech. sewarnihg the
house that Ireland was on the verge
of revolt. The constitution, he said,
was practically suspended, and now
the members were gagged in the on
ly parliament, they had.
Throughout Mr.. O'Brien's remarks
the Irish members kept up a perfect
storm OF applause. When Mr.. Wynd-
lam, the chief secretary Of Ireland,
entered the house, the Irish members
Kissed him loudly, and the speaker,
who was frequently on his feet, ask
ing for "Order!" sternly repressed the
demonstration.
Mr.. sLloydGeorge, backed up by
Irish members, and T. P. O'Conno.
brought the excitement to fever
heat, bitterly upbraiding Mr.. Balfour
for declaring that Irish matters must
only be discussed by favor of the
English Liberals.
81 rise to speak as native Of
Uganda" and then in speech which
on all sides was characterized as one
OF the finest satires ever heard in the
house of commons, Mr.. Healy, always
as a Ugandan, thanked the premier
for his consideration, which enabled
the imperial parliament to devote
time to the discussion of native af-
fairs. He complimented Mr.. Balfour
on, being able to, sufficiently detach
himself SO as to be ,obliyious of the
vital disturbances prevailing in shat
distant and distressful country, Ire
land" ,.%
Ultimately Mr.. Baifour moved the
closure and the uproar broke out
with renewed yigor.
Mr. O'Donnell's suspension will
probably be for only week. as the
rev rules increasing the penalties for
disorderly behavior have not yet been
passed.
