FEDERATION IS
CONFRONTED BY
GRAVE TROUBLES
Continued from Page One,

to these subjects is that of Industrial
education and any serious discussion
Of. the proper kind of vocational train
ing promotes discussion of the former.
Experience has shown that manual
training school teachers without ac-
tual trade experience do not and cam
not successfully solve this great prob
lem and that progress necessarily will
be slow as new teachers must be pro-
vided, a new set of textbooks will
have to be written and the subjects
taught in a sympathetic and system
attic manner"
Many Grave Problems
The convention will be called upon
to decide, several jurisdictional trou-
bles are pending. Matters in dispute
between the brewery workers, firemen,
teamsters and engineers have been
only partially adjusted.
The Amalgamated Society of Car
penters and Joiners complains that del
egates from its local unions are denied
recognition in various central bodies.
The electrical workers and the the
atrical stage hands are both seeking
to control picture machine operators.

chinists and the international Union
of Elevator Constructors are at odds
over the question of jurisdiction and
amalgamation Is under consideration.
The sheet metal workers and the stove
mounters' organizations are also con-
tending for jurisdictional advantages.
Car Workers Interested
Efforts are being made to amalga-

Car Workers and the Brotherhood Of
Car Men. The car men are seeking
af1lliation with the federation, and
unless amalgamation is effected before
the close of the convention it is prob

thorized to issue a charter to the car
men.
At the forthcoming meeting of the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers, to be held in Gin
cinnati next month"; the constitution
win be amended it is said, so the
paperhangers' jurisdictional complaints
and the rights of those who are ex-
clusively paperhangers will be so de-
fined as to prevent any further dis
putes.
| Among the resolutions introduced to-

! Labor council, requesting that the Of
| fcers of both factions of the electrical
workers be asked to resign, and that
| the affairs of both organizations be
| placed in the hands of the executive
council, with instructions to call con-
Vention to elect new officers.
Baseball Club Frowned On
The United Association of Plumbers
offered a resolution asking that every
| possible effort be made by friends of
organized labor to keep patronage from
the Cleveland baseball club in all cities
where that club played.
| The International Glove Workers
union favors woman suffrage on the
ground that "the ballot for women is
essential to economic independence of
the working classes"
The Central Federated Union of New
York offered a protest against the low
rate of wages paid by the government
| in the navy yards.
The convention adopted a resolution
expressing admiration for Lloyd
George, chancellor Of the British ex-
chequer, for his support rendered
Through the British budget to the whole
people.
