GLASS BOTTLE BLOWERS.
Workers and Employers Reach AMIGA
BILE Agreement.

Wage conferees of the Glass Vial
and Bottle Manufacturers association
and the Glass Bottle Blowers asSocia.
| ton of America. in conference recent
ly at Atlantic City. reached an AMIGA
| BILE agreement.
Wages for the coming year are to
continue the same as during the last
bottle blowing season. This decision
was reached when the representatives
of the men realized that it was useless
to ask for an increase In the face of
machine competition. Further than
this, the manufacturers acceded to a
proposition from the men for three
shifts instead of two In the bottle
plants, thus providing for a consid-
cradle number of employees who have
been displaced In regular shifts by the
automatic machines. Working rules
and regulations were satisfactorily set
tied.
The manufacturers also acceded to
proposition from the blowers that
the apprentices should be apportioned
on basis of one to each twenty blow
ers instead of one to ten or fifteen
Journeymen, as in the past. the purpose
being to shut off as far as practicable
the Invasion of new men.
The manufacturers refused how
ever, to abandon their demand for the
total or partial suspension of the sum
mer shutdown which has been opera
tive in bottle plants for twenty years.
This question was accordingly left
open.
Unless a compromise is effected in
the meantime glass factories which
have always shut down during July
and August will work throughout the
year.
Representatives of the men claim
summer work In the plants will be
"barbarous." The manufacturers con-
tention is that they cannot compete
with the machine blowing plants with
the midsummer suspension. One of
those automatic machines was in OPP
GRAFTON during 1904. Ninety-two will
be working during the coming blast.
The Bottle Blowers association has
a membership of 1900 workers.

HYPOTHETICAL CANT.
Open Shop Defenders Care Nothing
For Nonunion Workers.

For Nonunlon workers.
correspondent of the New York
Times, writing to the editor of that
paper, says truly:
1t Is not true, as you say In your
editorial article on the garment work
ers' strike. that the 'uplift Of labor
means the exclusion of all but union
lists from the privilege of earning
wages. The uplift of labor means
that living wage shall be paid for all
work done. Those who pretend to
shed tears over the injustice of the
union shop are not sincere. They cry
over the poor nonunion worker. while
they laugh in their sleeve at the way
they are fooling the uniformed pub
lie.
''In very few cases do the nonunion
workers get union wages. Does 1t
make no difference whether the hun
dred or five hundred workers In a
given factory receive 81 a day or SO?
In either case all will be spent and
not in some foreign country, but right
here, where the Times. as well as the
rest of US, must make a living and
make 1t ultimately from these same
workers. The manufacturer who
pleads for the open shop is not hon
est. He cares absolutely nothing for

Many of the building trade unions of
Chicago maintain automobiles for the
use Of their business agents.
Some Of the unions which have pur-
chased automobiles for their business
agents and the number of the ma
chimes they possess are: Plumbers, 3;
bricklayers, 2; carpenters, South Chi
cago, /; steamfitters' helpers, i; tun-
mel miners, /.
The Steamfitters' union and the Archi-
tectural Iron Workers union recently
voted to purchase automobiles for
their business agents, and committees
have been appointed to make the pur-
chases.
The Plumbers union has three bust
ness agents, one for each side of the
city, and recently 1t bought three ma
chimes for their use. The president Of
the Bricklayers' union has an auto
mobile for his exclusive use. while an
other is maintained for the use of the
two business agents.
1--WE can cover more territory In a
day with an auto than we could in a
week by street car or walking" said
one of the business agents. 1T means
more work and is a good investment
for the unions"

State-idea Promises to Be Very
Popular.
People of Washington are to have
their attention called to the factory
products of the state in a way that
will permit a comparison with those of
other states The Washington state
fair has inaugurated department for
the showing of articles manufactured
in whole or in part in the state, and
the idea pleases the manufacturers.
1t is contended that the manufactur
ers of Washington, many Of whom are
struggling with small plants, have the
opportunity thus to bring their prod
ucts to the attention of Washington
people, and ample opportunity for dem
onstration will be given at the Wash
ington state fair, North Yakima, Sept.
26-Oct. i.
The Washington factories If properly
upheld may save US all the expense
of shipping our raw materials east
and the manufactured product back
again, paying the freight both ways.
The Made In Washington" division Of
the state fair ought to be instructive,
and If all manufacturers participate
some pleasant surprises should be in
store for the visitor to the fair.

THE FARMERS AND

REST AFTER SEASONS TOLL,

Washington State Fair at North Yak
ina Sept. 20 to Oct. I Offers Six
Days of Recreation and Sightseeing.
Exhibits of Our Products Will Be
Fine.
When the harvest has been laid
aside the farmer and his family are
ready for some entertainment and
rest. The state fair, combining the
features of education with those of
entertainment, is the natural place for
the annual outing. 1t is a cOmbina-
ton of business and pleasure that ex-
acty fits the farmers needs and gives
his family just the sort Of recreation
that is wanted.
The modern state fair has taken a
strong place in the hearts of the farm
ers of the country, and in many states
there are thousands and tens of thou
sands who make it an annual event
never to be missed.
At one state fair Of the middle west
more than 10000 farmers, stockmen,
dairymen and fruit growers attend an
nually. In thousands of cases entire
families remain the whole week

producing patrons that state fairs have

been developed into the clean and at
tractiye shows that now annually ex-
list. The farmer wants clean entertain
ment, and he wants it along the lines
OF the work in which he is engaged.
He wants his sons to see where the
best methods are employed and his
daughters to see the work of the wo-
men Of his state In fact, 1t is to his
financial interest to go where he can
see the very best products and to learn
how they were obtained; hence the
popularity of the modern state fair.
Following these well established
practices the Washington state fair at
North Yakima, Sept. 26-Oct. 1, has
turned the fair along the lines in
which the people of Washington are
most deeply interested. The plant has
been increased by the addition Of
$4,000 worth of new buildings for ex-
hlbits and for the accommodation and
comfort Of visitors. More permanent
work has been done in the past two
years than in the preceding fourteen.
Six live stock barns, each go feet
long and 40 feet wide, have been erect
ed, and there are now accommoda-
lions for 800 head Of cattle and horses.
800 sheep and 400 hogs. There is also
room for 250 head Of race horses.
one Of the handsomest structures on
the state fair grounds is the new
Woman's building, which has been
erected and arranged with an eye
single to the comfort Of the fair sex
and proper showing Of the handi-
work Of the housewife. 1t is a replica
OF the Yakima county building at the
A. Y. p. E.
Few state fair plants have a finer hor-
tlcultural building than Washington. 1t
is 200 by 40 and with the showing

Among the things considered at the

EXCELLENT BILL is DUE
COURT THEATRE PATRONS.

To miss the polite variety program
which the Court Amusement Company
has carefully arranged for p%resenta-
ton during the first three days of next
week is to forego the enjoyment of
what appears to be one of the most
alluring bills of the season. The COM
edy dramatic sketch of Frey and
Fields, entitled 1.-THE Horse Doctor is
the headliner. AS a team Of laugh-pro-
Voking comedians they stand we'll up
in the front ranks, and it is said that
in the course of twenty or more min
utes the playlet run the audience is
given all the pleasure to be derived
from a ~farce-comedy of three acts oc-
cupying the entire evening.
Budd and Clare, English comedians
and musicians, present a sketch expect
ed to create a big comedy uproar here.
1.-The Italian and his Sweetheart" by
the Piottis, is a playlet full of dramatic
situations n delightfully."- funny COM
plications, and the absorbing interest is
held until the final climax. The Ber-
gere Sisters, singers, dancers and i'm
personators; Adams Brothers, comedy
roller skaters; William Huegel, BARI
tone, and new animated pictures round
out the strong bill for the first part OF
the week.

DID LOUIS LOSE HEAD
in REIGN OF TERROR ?

Was Louis XVI, Duke Of Normandy
and King of France, really executed
during the Reign of Terror, or was he
saved by the clever substitution of an
heroic ~royalist? Was Charles Nauen-
dorf really Louis XVII? These are the
questions that will be taken up by
Professor Georges Castegnier, of West
Point, before the Alliance FRANCHISE al
the Newark Public Library next
Wednesday evening.
The subject is one which has baf1ed
historians for the last century. Pro-
fessor Castegnier will contend hat the
mysterious stranger whose weird claim
in 1888 astonished the world was really
the alleged martyred king. The speak
err will present strong documents in
support of his contention, and his lee
ture should prove n of the best of
the season. 1t will be thoroughly Illus

Professor Castegnier, who Is al his
of note, will on the 28th of No
vember begin a series of lectures on
the History of France for the Ameri-
Society for the Extension of Uni
Teaching in Philadelphia. He
is an official lecturer for the United

The very title suggests a rafting good
show, full of snap and ginger and
from all accounts which have preceded

number of prominent vaudeville per-
formers are included in the announce
ments. OF course, there is a large
chorus and dancing ballet, and these
are said to be for the most part an
exceedingly good looking lot Of talent
ed young girls. In the matter of scenic
and costume equipment C. B.. Arnold is
credited with having excelled all of his
