fashion with her partners. In this the
clever, serious minded girl will probably

modification of seeing some girl whom
she has always considered quite stupid
suddenly become her social superior, all

the carpenters desire to absorb the

This question Of merging will be Bit
terly fought out at the convention.
President Samuel Gompers is unaItera-
bly, opposed to II. He has expressed
himself as being for the smaller organ
izations. In their charters as given to
them by the Federation they are en-
powered to control the affairs Of their
own organizations. and il IS President
Gompers' belief that to take away from
them this power would be a violation OF
trust on the part Of the Federation.
In order TO elect a president it is
necessary TO control $40 votes OF the
convention. The larger organizations Of
the 'Industrialists" are reported to
have 2.5O0 OF this number. and as the
remaining votes are controlled by some
ninety other organizations. IL is impos-
