MAY RENAME
REPUBLICAN
Likely to Reappoint Bryant
Commissioner of Labor.
(FTom the NEWS Correspondent

(FTom the NEWS CoTTeSpondent.)
Trenton, Jan. 16:-The report
that there is a possibility that Cover
nor Wilson may reappoint General
Lewis T. Bryant, of Atlantic City, as
State Commissioner of Labor, has re-
doubled the efforts of those who are
backing other candidates for the
position. Notwithstanding General
Bryant is a Republican, it is rumored
that Governor Wilson may reappoint
him to the $4,000 a year berth. The
report is based, In part, upon the
fine record General Bryant has made
during the two terms he has held the
Office and the fact that several labor
unions throughout the state have en-
dorsed him for reappointment, with
out regard to politics.
The most active Democratic as
pirant for the position Is former
Congressman Thomas M. Ferrell, Of
Gloucester county, one OF the best
known Democratic leaders in South
Jersey. Mr.. Ferrell has some pretty
strong backing and his friends are
bringing all possible pressure to bear
upon Governor Wilson to name him.
Mr.. Ferrell is an ardent supporter of
the governor and it is claimed their
chances for gaining the place are
enhanced because practically all the
South Jersey Progressive Democrats
are for him. He has the support Of
State Chairman Grosscup, the state
treasurer to be, who comes from Mr..
Ferrell's county, and all the other
men In Gloucester county.
The Progressive Democrats of
Camden county, headed by Sheriff
Joseph K. Nowrey, Prosecutor Boyle
and Councilman Littlehale, all of
Camden, are urging the governor to
appoint ,Ferrell. Mayor Riddle. the
commission government head of At
lantic City. and Judge Clarence l..
Cole, OF that city, have seen the gov
ernor on behalf OF the Atlantic
county Wilson men in the interest of
Mr.. Ferrell. Mayor Riddle made a
vigorous protest against the reap
pointment Of General Bryant, mostly
on the ground that he Is a Republi-
can. Those who are urging the ap-
pointment of Ferrell claim that he
Is especially equipped for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Ferrell Is glass factory
owner, and from tending boy to
manufacturer" describes his career,
because he began at the bottom and
filled every position in the glass
works before acquiring his own man
ufactury where he has employed two
hundred hands.
A delegation OF operative glass
workers from South Jersey has also
seen the governor in Mr.. Ferrelrs
behalf. 1t was headed by Harry
Crist, of Woodbury., delegate from
the South Jersey glass workers to
the National Federation of Labor.
In the delegation were glass workers
from Woodbury., Williamstown,
Glassboro, Millville, Bridgeton, and
other South Jersey towns.
Others who are urging the ap-
pointment of former Congressman
Ferrell are Congressman-elect J.
Thompson Baker, Judge Baker, of
Cape May county; Senator Wheaton,
of Cape May county, and former
Sheriff Hende, of the same county.

terially increased by the forming

those who now close their stores at
o'clock In the evening, as they
believe that the local may influence
other merchants to join in protect
ing their employees from long hours.
The union, which will include
clerks of both sexes, will strive to
better the conditions of themselves
in gaining shorter hours and more
pay for its members. 1t has been
