McHarg Leads Fight in
Credentials Committee

sought at the outset to apply the gag
rule" he said, and I refused to dis
grace the state Of Maryland by sitting
longer with the committee
The proposed adoption Of a rule lin
iting argument of contested election
cases before the credentials committee
to five minutes for district cases and
ten minutes for state cases precipitated
the bolt.
After adjournment, Chairman Devint
declared the committee would take UT
the contests this morning and finish
them as rapidly as possible in theil
regular order.
The first bolt came at 1O:30 O'Clock
last night, after the Roosevelt men tried
to beat open the doors and bring all
newspaper men into the room.
The doors of the committee room
were suddenly thrown open by ]. J
Sullivan. of Ohio, who rushed out with
the cry, "All Roosevelt men walk out
He was followed by Hugh T. Hal
bert, of Minnesota; Francis j. Heney
of California; George L. Record, OF
AS they pushed open the swinging
doors after Sullivan, they cried out to
the newspaper men:
"FolIowing Roosevelt's Orders"
"AH newspaper men come inside and
see what they are trying to do to us"
Colonel Thayer, assistant sergeant
alarms, shouted to the doorkeeper 10
admit no one The Roosevelt forces
shouted again for every one to come in.
Mr. Thayer called for policemen, who
pushed their way through and kept the
crowd from getting in.
The Roosevelt men poured out of the
room, declaring they were acting under
the direction Of Colonel Roosevelt.
Everybody go to the Florentine room
at the Congress" shouted one man.
They rushed outside followed by the
crowd, and in the street they were
overtaken by Secretary William Hay
ward.
why did you act that way?' he de-
manded of Heney. why didn't you
wait until some rules had been
passed."
I'VE are acting under the direct or
ders of Colonel Roosevelt" retorted
Heney.
I'VE are obeying a better general
than you" shouted George L. Record,
of New Jersey He told us to leave
that room and we did It,"
Hugh T. Halbert declared the break
came as the result of the refusal of the
majority in the committee to open up
all evidence in the cases. Mr.. HaIbert
presented resolutions asking that the
temporary roll of the convention be
considered only as prima facie evidence
of the right of delegates to sit, and
that all evidence, testimony and the
like be gone into.
He declared the committee refused to
do this and attempted to gag the
minority by making rules that would
have left the action of the national
committee as practically decisive in
all the contests.

Shuttlemakers' Disease
and It's Cause

A battling ailment found among

Of shuttles, in Lancashire and oYrk-

that the timber used possessed some
property injurious to health, and that
the sickness was due to some proper
ty given off by the wood. The symp-
toms complained of were "head-
ache, sleepiness, running at the nose
and eyes, chronic sneezing, giddiness.
faintness, loss Of appetite, shortness
of breath. nausea, etc" The patients
exhibited pale, yellowish or green
ish color of the skim accompanied by
peculiar "camphor" or Turkey

GUS woods have been used for shut
ties, namely. Persian box, persim-
mon, cornell, etc. More recently West
African lockwood. South African box
wood, West Indian lockwood. and East
London lockwood have been used. The

the inhalation of the dust was almost
unavoidable. An examination Of the

the sawdust of the west African box

ual slowing of the heartbeat. This
poison is very soluble and probably
easily absorbed.
Further examination disclosed the
fact that the wood Variously termed
West African or East London box
wood is not lockwood" but belongs
to a poisonous order Of tropical
plants. The Journal of the American

BIG BUSINESS BRINGS THE
WORKERS CLOSE TOGETHER

If any persons have become imbued
with the impression that the bitter
warfare waged against organized Ia
Dor in Los Angeles during the past
year has been successful in the slight
est degree from the viewpoint of the
open-shoppers, they have another
think coming.
The very contrary is true. Despite
all the lockouts and forced strikes,
the blacklists and injunctionsL the
Imprisonment and hundreds of union
men under the anti-picketing ordi-
mace and the turmoil caused by the
McNamara affair, the Los Angeles
workers are by far better organized
than they ever were in the history of
their city.
Secretary Butler, Of the Central La
Dor Council, has just issued his an
nual report, in which he says, among
other things:
"During the year organized labor
has made phenomenal gains. When
the forces that have fought against
us are taken into consideration, we
have probably been the most militant
city and have accomplished more than
any other in America. In fact, the
closing year has been our banner
year. eW have now arrived at that
point in our industrial journey where
we should stand pat, and remain true
to the cause which has for it's pur-
pose the uplift of humanity. l thor
oughly believe that organized labor
in Los Angeles has taken the right
step in affiliating with and support
ing the Socialist party. 1t should
take such action all over the United
States. Locally we have in creased
in numerical strength from 6,138 to
nearly $4,000. eW have made Los
Angeles one of the best union label
cities on the Pacific Coast. At the last
election we assisted in piling up 81
600 votes for the head of the working
class ticket The coming year should
add greater laurels to the Groin OF
labor"
President Misner, Of the Central
Labor Council, in surveying the local
situation, adds:
''The new year opens bright for
labor. Judging by the past greater
gains are to be looked for, We must
devote all our energy to builiIng up
onr industrial organizations. Politic-
ally we must remain and vote as we
