WAGE SCALE
IS DISCUSSED

Millyille, n. j., August 16.-Window
glass workers and manufacturers east
and west are anxiously awaiting the
wage conference between the commit
tees of the National Window Glass
Workers and the manufacturers,
which is to be held in Detroit, A.lch.,
on August 23. ]. M. Neenan, presi-
dent of the workers organization, has
issued a circualr to the workers, stat
ing the demands to be made, which
show considerable increase over the
wage scale of the last season.
Such demand was made at the
joint meeting of the committees which
was held in Atlantic City, on August
3 last, and the meeting was adjourned
without any semblance of an agree
ment having been reached. The cir
cular states, however, that the scale
was not arranged until after the cost
of production and the selling prices
were carefully considered
The president further states that a
general resumption of the factories
cannot be anticipated until about Oc-
tober Is. A very small amount of
window glass is now being made in
the hand-operating factories.

TURN HIM DOWN.

John j. Gardner ought not to be
nominated again for Congress by the
Republican party. No self.respectipg,
law-abiding citizen, who believes in
morality and the enforcement of the
laws, should vote for him.
John J. Gardner stands for a wide
open Sunday and the notification OF
the laws of the State. AS member of
a recent Grand Jury he defied the
charge of Judge Trenchard and ignored
the complaints against the Atlantic
City Sunday liquor sellers.
Ths people of the Second CGngres-
sionel District are not in harmony

ality should not apologize to law

in the district should be lifted up
AGAINST him,

In report of the State Federation
OF Labor, of New Jersey, now being
held in Newark, the following was
printed yesterday in the Metropolitan
press:
considerable interest was attached
to letter, dated August 6, from Sam
uel Gompers, in which he informs
President Ford of the activities of
New Jersey Congressman and Sena-
tors with regard to labor laws. Fow-
Ter, Gardner, Parker, Loudenslager,
Wiley and Wood are reported as be-
ing against the interests of labor on
all important questions. The work of
Congressman Hughes was warmly
commended.
In part Mr.. Gomper's letter reads
1t will be we'll if you call your
members attention to the chronic alb
senteeism of the representatives from
New Jersey. You will observe that
the records disclose on almost every
subject either downright hostility or
apparently wilful negligence to the
interests of labor. Senator Kean is
just as unyielding as Representative
Parker
He further urges that the citizens
OF this State rescue the nomination of
men who will pledge themselves to
the cause of labor and of State legis-
lators who will exact a similar prom
Use from candidates for the United
States Senate"

JUST NEWS
OF POLITICS
Some Gossip Heard of the
Situation.
PICKED UP EVERYWHERE
Things Happening and Predicted
Views That Are Expressed
Some Comment Heard.

The Kean legislation ticket in this
county is having some uncomfortable
moments and for the past few days
have indicated something akin to pan
is. The United States Senator with his
wealth has expected to land enough
numbers of the legislature to give him
the place. John Franklin, of Millville,
one of the Anti-Stokes managers in
this county says that there is $4,000
IN the campaign for his ticket this
fall. That is dollar for every vote
to be cast in the entire county. But
can the financial agents of Kean turn
the people of Cumberland County to
defeat Cumberland County candidate
especially when Cumberland in the
person of Hon. E. c. Stokes has
candidate a greater statesman than
Kean could possibly be?
The people here, as well as all
over the entire state are asking why
kean should refuse to place his candi-
dacy before the people and allow the
people to vote for or against him. If
Murphy is not afraid of the vote of
the people, if Stokes is not afraid of
the vote of the people, why should
Kean be? Why should be attempt to
elect ticket in this county pledged to
him without giving the people an op-
portunity of passing upon the merits
of his candidacy?
Y is quite true, many declare, that
John Kean is not popular with the
public. 1t may be, as some say,
that he would never have been in
politics but for his money; but are
not the people entitled to vote for
or against the candidacy of the United
States Senator, and if they are why
don't Kean come out in the open in
stead of hiding his candidacy behind
a ticket that is pledged to his support ?

END OF RUN ON BANK.
Savings Institution Declared to Be
on Sound Basis.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March 11.-Noon
today saw the end OF the run on the Bank
of the Society for Savings which started
late Wednesday and caused a panic
among thousands of depositors who had
put their savings in the institution.
The promptness with which the bank
officials met the crisis and the steps
which they took to assure the public Of
the absolute soundness of their financial
position had its effect today in stopping
the run, which had assumed extraordi-
nary proportions yesterday. About 81 ,2O0,-
GOO was Withdrawn.
Myron T. Herrick. the president of the
bank issued the following statement
The Society for Savings was never in
sounder financial position in its history
The run was started by baseless rumors
started by some malicious person or per-
sons whom we are now endeavoring to
trace. About $1.2OO.OOo has been paid out
by the bank and the hardship falls on the
misled depositors. who have forfeited the
three months interest which would accrue
on April l..

COUNSEL GRAY EXPLAINS.
Clarence Cunningham Refuses t.
Discuss Washington Report.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 11.-Clar-
ence Cunningham, who is being examined
here before United States Commissioner
William J. MCGEE in reference to the dis
puted Alaska coal claims, would not dis
cuss today the report from Washington
that the Ballinger-Pi -Pinchot investigating
committee was considering whether he
was liable for perjury. A statement. how
ever. was made by John =. Gray. Mr.
Cunningham's personal counsel, in eX-
planation of the alleged discrepancies in
the Cunningham affidavits.
Mr.. Gray said that the option which the
Guggenheim interests claim to hold over
one-half of the Cunningham claims is not
and never has been valid. 1t was entered
into. he said by Mr.. Cunningham, Miles
c. Moore and A, b. Campbell. at Salt
Lake City in July, 1907. and was subse-
quently accepted by the Guggenheims on
the understanding that it would only be
in force If a majority of the entrymen
would agree to consolidate their claims.
According to Mr.. Gray. the other entry
men refused to have anything to do with
the agreement and it consequently lapsed.
1t was in the belief that this agreement
had lapsed, Mr.. Gray said. that Mr.. Cum
ningham had made the affidayits in which
he asserted that the Guggenheim syndi-
cate had no interest In the coal claims.
