IL now seems probable that a grand

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 14.-In
stretching the constitution by adj
hitting the Flint Glassworkers'
Union on an Interpretation of law
and refusing credentials to the
International A CT a ton of
Steamftters, the A. F. Of L. con-
vention took another step toward
industrial unionism.
The Flints favor industrial
unionism and are strongly social
istic. Recently they came to
agreement with the Bottle Blow
ers' Union and paved the way for
a future federation of the glass
trades, which will insure greater
solidarity in that industry.
In the case of the steamftters,
they were last year ordered by
the A. F. of L. convention to
merge with the United Associa-
ton of Plumbers and Steamht-
tiers, in order to establish har-
mony and unity of action in the
Pipeftting industry.
They refused to obey the man
date and are therefore denied fur
ther recognition until they cease
their rebellious conduct and agree
to amalgamate.
These two fights on the con-
vention floor reveal an unmistak-
able tend toward the principles of
industrial unionism as far as the
sentiment of the delegates are
concerned, and they undoubtedly
represent the views of their mem

and that every effort be extended

such unions, to the end that joint

The action of the pressmen is,
interpreted as an outcome of their
strike, backed by the stereotypers

Day Book and World, during
which the printers, ma1lerS and
photographers stuck to their

not opposed to the spirit of the

Installing Gasoline Engine.


After having it's Hosiery closed for
two weeks because of lack of power to
run their dynamo, the Union Manufac-
turing Company decided to install gas
oline engine, and Monday workmen be-
gan work on building in which to house
the engine.
The company has been receiving power
from the Frederick Railroad Company
but from what has been told us, the SER
vice is unsatisfactory in that it is not
regular enough for the knitting machines.
Much time is also lost by accidents at
the powerhouse, and the demand upon
the company for hosiery being heavy,
the directors deemed it wise to use other
power or have it ready for use when
electricity is scarce.
Work at the Hosiery is gradually in
creasing and persons desiring work are
always in demand. Mr.. J. j. Johnson,
superintendent of the Frederick Hosiery,
was in Thurmont last Saturday and thinks
in short time the company will find ii
necessary to erect additional buildings in
the rear of the room now occupied by the
company in this place.

New Man Head of Electrical End.

The Frederick and Hagerstown Rail-
way Companies have jointly employed
H. B. Baird, an electrical expert, to have
charge of the electrical work of the two
roads. Mr. Baird has entered upon his
duties and for the past two weeks has
been at Hagerstown. He is now at the
power plant of the Frederick Railroad,
near Middletown, and is experimenting
the work there.
Mr.. Baird is a graduate of a German
technical school and is well qualified for
the position. He came from Wilmington,
Del, and was for some time one of the
engineers in the employ of j. G. White
Co., noted firm of electrical engineers.
While Mr.. Baird's speciality will be the
electrical end, yet he will act as super
visor of the work of the two companies
and will also have general supervision of
the shops of the Frederick Railroad in
Frederick.

Coal Train In A Heap.

Traffic on the Western Maryland rail-
way was blocked for hours Sunday in the
vicinity of Mount Wilson, about II miles
from Baltimore, as a result of the derail-
ing of locomotive and train of 10 coal
cars shortly before II O'Clock in the
morning.
The accident was caused by the snap
ping of an axle of one of the forward
cars, causing the wheels appended to
leave the tracks. A moment later the
entire train of cars was derailed and the
tracks and roadbed torn up for several
hundreds yards.
A wrecking crew was hurried to the
scene and late Sunday night had cleared
the west bound track. The damage to
the east-bound track was not repaired
sufficiently to resume traffic until early
Monday morning.

Both Parties To Open Campaign On
August 18th.

Next Saturday will see the plans for
the coming campaign started by both
the Democratic and Republican parties.
As has already been announced, Chair
man C. H. Conley, of the Democratic
Central Committee, has named that date
for the meeting of the county committee.
Chairman George R. Dennis, Jr., of the
Republican committee, has issued a call
for meeting of the members of that
committee for Saturday, August II. At
this meeting plans for the campaign will
be laid and the work of getting started
on vigorous fight will be begun.
1t is the plan of the local Republicans
to wage one of the hottest fights this fall
that has ever been known in the county.
To this end, the National Committee will
be asked to send to the county number
of its most eloquent and forceable speak
ers and the county will be stumped from
one end to the other. Chairman Dennis
said that no stone would be left unturn-
ed to elect the whole ticket and to retain
tho Republican majority in the county.
That it will take considerable work to
carry through the plans successfully is
realized by the leaders but an early start
is anticipated and those on whom the
brunt of the work will fall are sanguine
as to the results.
