AMALGAMATED ARE
IN SESSION

/ DETROIT, Mich, May 2.-The
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, one of the
strongest and most influential labor
organizations of America, began it's
thirtieth annual convention in De-
troit today with delegates present
from nearly all the states of the
Union. Momentous questions con-
corning the internal affairs of the
association have arisen during the
last year and their settlement prom
ises to make this the most important
convention in it's history. In addition
to taking up matters relating to the
wage scale and conditions of labor,
the convention will choose a sue
cessor to President Theodore Shaffer.
who has been at the head of the or
ganization for nine years. President
Shaffer has declined to allow the pre-
sentation of his name for reelection,
and this has led to a lively campaign
for the presidency. There are few
avowed or active candidates. but the
friends of numerous state and dis
trict leaders of the organization are
pushing their claims. Among those
whose names are mentioned most
prominently in connection with the
honor are NJ. f. Tighe, the present
assistant secretary of the association
William NJ. Gibson, of Allegheny, Pa.
Walter Larkins, of Martins Ferry, o.;

demnation of Nan are darts of fire
in his heart. Every day he looks
more and more gray. His business
for a year has been to give out his
strength to Nan, whom he adores.
He buys her meals and sends them
to her cell. He strokes her hand and
combs her silken golden hair.

CASE AGAINST nan PATTERSON
IS FALLING SLOWLY TO PIECES

Oil company Is not mentioned in the
formal complaint, the fight is prac-
tically against that company. Under
the present classification of oil prod
ucts as freight. the Standard Oil is
the only company doing business in
the state that is in a position to take
advantage of the carload rate, which
is SO per cent less than the rate on
less than carload lots to local points
within the state.
The Independents on their small
shipments are compelled to pay third
class rates, whereas the Standard can
take advantage of the first class
rates. The independents ask the COM
mission to reduce the rate on ship
ments in less than carload lots from
third to fourth class. 1t is urged
that if this is done thousands of dol
lars will be saved the consumers of
the state. as the price of oil will
be materially reduced. 1t Is claimed
that the Standard does not base the
selling price of it's products upon the
cost of production plus the cost Of
transportation, but upon the inability
of the local dealers to take advan-
tage of the lower freight rates.
