DISPUTE IN BOTTLE INDUSTRY.

Olean. n. y. Aug. 5.-The annual
convention Of the Bottle Blowers as
sociation of America, which will be-
gin its sessions here Monday. prom
ises TO be the most important gather
ing ever held by that organization.
Upon the result of the convention's S
deliberations depends the question of
peace or war in the bottle industry.
The manufa cturers have notified the
workmen of a proposed reduction of
40 per cent in wages. 1t is regarded
as certain that the blowers conven-
tion will repudiate the manufa cturers'
proposition. In anticipation of a
general strike, the manufacturers are
said to have placed rush orders for
all the automatic bottle making ma
chimes that can be turned out during
the summer months. Those ma
chimes. each of which does the work
of five men, are te bone of contention
in the trade. Eventually they may
force the bottle blower out Of work
entirely.

OF PENTUP ENTHUSIASM

The delegations formed in process
sion and followed their chief to the
national headquarters. In front of
the hotel another crowd was en-
countered and for n time the street
was blocked. Roosevelt stood up in
the automobile and spoke briefly.
Then a path through the crowd hav-
ing been made he hurried TO head
quarters and was soon in the thick of
conferences with his aides.
Standing in the automobile Roose-
Welt said:
Il am very much pleased again to
be with you in Chicago and this time
at the birth of a party and not at the
death of one. 1 am convinced the
people will not stand for the conven-
ton of seven weeks ago or it's results,
ESPECIALLY those against the interests
|of the people. BY November the men
nominated at that convention will not
be factor in the race.
"The days of corrupt political boss
land crooked financier who stands be-
hind the boss. and the newspaper
owned by such boss and financier is
over. The channels of information
have been choked by the opponents of
popular government in an effort to
prevent the people from finding out
what this movement really is and de-
eide for themselves what their gov
ernment shall be-"
Roosevelt will remain in consulta-
ton with the progressive leaders at
headquarters all day The colonel
said he did not intend to go to the
