GLENDivE SWIMMING CLUB
TO BE INCORPORATED

The articles of Incorporation of thu
Glendive Swimming Club, the organi
zation which will finance the new pub
lie swimming pool on Clough Street
between Valentine street and the
bridge, are now being drawn up by
attorney Joseph A. Slattery, and the
stock will be placed on sale as soon
as the papers go through the office OF
County Clerk and Recorder R. l.
Wyman and are returned approved by
secretary of state, A. M. Anderson.
All checks made in payment for
stock will be made payable to one OF
the local banks, to be selected later,
SO that the people will know their
money is in safe hands.
The complete details of organiza-
tion and operation will be published
in full in all the local papers as soon
as City Engineer F. H. Handforth
completes the plans, at which time a
copy Of them will be turned over to
N. P. Agent w. J. Buchner for ap-
proval by the head office of the road
in st. Paul, as well as by General
Agent ]. E. Squirting of Billings.
Specifications will then be published
or handed to local contractors and
builders for their bids on the work,
which will include excavation, cement
work, erection of fences, bath houses
and office, the plumbing and the
painting. The local merchants will
be asked to bid on the bathing suits
and towels.
It is hoped that by next week the
plans and specifications will have
been completed, the articles of incor-
poration returned from Helena, and
the sale of stock well on the way
by the first Of June.
One of the innovations suggested
IS the employment of competent life
guard and swimming instructor who
will instruct all the youngsters of the
public schools in the science of swim
ming free of charge.
Steam pipes and valves connected
With the local power house has also
,een suggested and will probably be
in the plans. This will
permit the water to be heated up to
my temperature, and will come in
landy in case the pool is inclosed
ater for night Or winter swimming.
If the pool is completed by July 5th,
is planned to have high diver and
ancy swimmer of national reputa-
ion, give exhibitions at the Celebra-
ion, thus adding to the many free
ttractions planned for that event.
Everyone in the city should take a |
eep interest in the new pool and help
along in every possible way. Re-
nember that Billings got its pool only |
fter the hardest and most persistent |
ind of boosting.
Besides boosting the proposition |
erbally, everyone who can afford it,
hould purchase as many shares of |
took as possible, the money to be

RIVAL UNIONS
WILL ENGAGE IN
BITTER BATTLE
United Garment Workers OF
America viii Try to Drive
Competitor Away.

Declaring that there is only room
union, Abe Stiglitz, representative of
the United Garment Workers of
America, stated today that the or
ganization which he represents would
declare war on the rival union and
drive IL out of the local labor field.
while the garment trade in this
city is not the best" said Stiglitz, lit
compares faVorably with the con-
ditions in other cities and we have no
just cause for complaint. The wages
paid the workers on New York coll
tracts are on a par with those paid
in New York City. while on local
work the wages paid are higher than
is paid the workers in the metropolis.
Statements issued by the Amalga-
mated Garment Workers union would
indicate that conditions in this city
In comparison with other cities are
very bad, and as a result they cause
a spirit of unrest among the workers.
There isn't room In this city for
two unions in the same branch of
trade and Locals 217 and 276 of the
United Garment Workers are going to
hold a special meeting tonight at 107
Broome street to formulate a plan
to fight the Amalgamated.
I'VE will have the backing of the
American Federation of Labor in our
fight, for the reason that the Hebrew
Trades, which embraces all of the
Hebrew trades unions, has been sus-
pended by the A. #. of L., for taking
the Amalgamated into its member
ship"
None of the officers of the Amalga-
mated could be located today at the
headquarters. 1877 Springfield avenue.
Several days ago statement was
issued by the Amalgamated officers
stating that many of the local con-
tractors were not living up to the
agreement signed by the manufactur-
ers and union, and that they were
going to call n strike In local shops
unless the contractors granted the
increases set forth in the agreement.
Hugh v. Reilly, district secretary
of the International Association OF
Machinists, stated today that the
eight-hour day and an increase in
wages aggregating 25 per cent. had
been granted to the workers In the
Bell Electric Company plant at Gar
wood and the Manganese Steel Safe
Company works at Plainfleld.
Mr. Reilly stated that he has re-
ceived instructions from number of
plants In this city and vicinity to
send them all the 'machinists that he
can secure. Amy machinists who ara
out of work can get in touch with
Mr. Reilly and II they measure up to
the standard set they will be given
employment.
Almost normal conditions prevailed
at the plant of the Sloan & Chace
Company today. A number of the
strikers who we're told yesterday to
come back today, were put to work,
and 1t is expected that before the end
Of the week the shop will be running
to Its full capacity 1t is expected
that the two policemen who have been
on continuous duty at the shop since
the men went on strike three weeks
ago will be Withdrawn today

That the action of Mayor Thomas
l.. Raymond in falling to acknowl-
edge the support given him by
the Progressives In his fight last
year had cured that party of in
dorsing candidates outside their own
ranks, Was the statement made to-
day by Walter F. Simpson. secretary
of the Progressive County Committee
which will meet on Friday night at
215 Halsey street for the purpose of
selecting candidates for state, county
and city Offices.
The statement made by Mr.. Simp-
son was for the purpose of stilling
the rumor that several members of
the county committee were in favor
of indorsing the Raymond candidates
in the latter's fight for control of
the Essex county Republican organi-
zation.
II for one have been hghting the
stand pat proposition for years and 1
am going to continue fighting along
the same line as long as there is

Simpson. "The suggestion that has
been made that the Progressives line
up with the Raymondites in the lat

lican party in this county does not
meet with the approval of the great
majority of the members of the
county committee with whom | have
talked, although ] presume that some
of the members will bring the subject
up for discussion on Friday night.

Lodgers Trapped on an Upper
Floor by Smoke and
Flames.
SCORES ARE RESCUED
BY WORK OF FlREMEN
More Than Fifty Taken Down

Structure.
Special to the Evening Star.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. 24.-T'wo men
lost their lives here when fire wrecked
the American Hotel. lodging house.
at SO Montgomery street, today. Fire
men and police are still searching the
ruins. Fifty dodgers in the Montauk
Lodging House, which adjoins the
burned building were forced to flee
hurriedly. The damage at the Amer
lean Hotel is placed at 5000, The
cause of the fire is not known.
Shortly before o'clock one of the
dodgers on the second floor smelled
smoke and gave the alarm. Only a
few responded.
When the firemen arrived the blaze
was shooting from the front and back
windows on the second and third
floors. A second and third call for
engines was sent in.
Most of the inmates of the Ameii-
can Hotel were men over fifty years
OF age. All avenues of escape from
the third and fourth floors were cut
of by the smoke and flames. The
dense smoke also hindered the work
OF the f1remen and made the position
OF those trapped all the more peril
Gus.
Thrilling scenes were witnessed as
the firemen aided the dodgers down
ladders to places of safety.
The fire started on the third floor
Within twenty minutes after the
sounding of the first alarm the build
ing was a furnace.
So that the adjoining buildings
would not be ignited, streams of
water were played on them. During
the worst part of the fire a portion
of the third floor caved in.
1t is believed by some persons that
one of the dodgers may have started
the fire by smoking while in bed.
The two dead men have not been
identified. Their bodies were found
on the fourth floor near a window.
One of the men was stretched across
a chair near large window as if
trying to ascend to the ledge when
the smoke suffocated him.
The wrecked building Is n four
story brick structure built about fifty
years ego. At one time 1t was used
as a municipal lodging house.

citation in 1916, and Jean r. Tack, of
this city. for president" This
is the slogan of the Jersey delegates
sounded today at the annual session
of the association which opened in
the Grand Central Palace here yes
terday. There were many prominent
New Jersey jewelers. in attendance,
and New Jersey is taking an active
part in the proceedings. There were
400 Jewellers present when the session
was called to order yesterday, and
before the session closed at night the
number had mounted to 800. the at
tendance today is even larger.
Because of New Jerseys proximity
to New York Jersey jewelers. have
taken an active part In the prepara-
tions for the convention, and also in
caring for the delegates from the
other states.
Mr.. Tack. as president OF the New
Jersey association, urged vigorous
Legislative action against misrepre-
iewelrv. in his report read at this
mornings session, and stated that the
practice Of Misrepresentation has
reached alarming proportions, not so
much among jewelers. themselves,
whatever their trade standing. as
among other stores with whom the
sale of jewelry Is Just a side line.
The three forms to which Mr.. Tack
paid special attention we're fraudulent
advertising, misrepresentative win
dow displays. against both OF which
upright jewellers can call for legal
protection, and lastly and most en-
phatically, the deceptive and false
stamping OF gold goods.
"This Is one of the grayest menaces
to the purchaser" Mr.. Tack said, "as
at present the deception can be prac-
ticed with free rein and without fear
of consequences. There Is no law
providing for the proper stamping of
gold ieweIry. The lowest carat can
be stamped oak. without retribution

gold-washed goods can be sold as

Mr. Tack went into considerable de-
tail on these three forms of misrep-

is to have a busy season. The utmost
efforts will he put forth to secure

Of Basil NJ Manly, director of re-
search and investigation of the
United States Commission on Indus

day, as was the full text of the sup
Elemental findings and recommended
tions" by Commissioners John B.
Lennon and James O'Connell. The
mary of the Manly report, which,
like the two which preceded it, was
prepared by George P. West, director
of publicity of the commission, will
be given out tonight
The second section of the summary
sketches evidence gathered to the
effect that industrial unrest is caused
by low wages, and that low wages
are due to the lack of strong labor
organizations. Many remedial meas
ures are recommended, including
equal suffrage, and various public
utilities companies are condemned.
Commissioners Lennon and O'Con-
nell, in their findings, take issue with
the claim by Commissioners Ashton,
Ballard and Weinstock that faults
that may exist in trade unions can
properly be considered among the
causes of industrial unrest They
urge strong labor organizations as a
remedy. and suggest that instead of
forming a new Federal industrial
commission, with large powers to
deal with industrial unrest, the De-
partment of Labor be developed and
given larger funds for carrying on it's
work.
The printers were unable for lack
of time to furnish the full text of the
three main reports.
The second section of the summary
of the Manly report, prepared by Mr..
West, has as it's principal fea-
ture vivid portrayal of liv-
ing and working conditions that
prevail in American industry
today. Evidence is presented at
great length in support of the re-
ports findings to the effect that in
dustrial unrest is caused by the pay
ment of wages too low to provide a
decent standard of living. and in sup
port of the reports further conclu-
sion that this situation is a direct
result of the lack of strong labor
organizations by which wage earners
could force the payment of living
wages

SEVEN YEARS OF

influx Of Immigrants After the
War Will Be Beneficial, In
Ventor Declares.

Through the "hectic flush which
immense war orders have given busi-
ness conditions" Thomas A. Edison,
the famous inventor sees seven years
of untrammeled prosperity ahead for
the United States.
These war orders said the cleo
trical wizard as he paused for mo-
ment, directing his ever r-growing fac
tories in West Orange and Silver
Lake, "are lending a flush to busi-
ness conditions that are not real. But
underneath them can see prosper
ity of the most sublime sort for this
nation. But one thing can overcome
ft-overdoing it. People must not lose
their heads, as has been the case In
other periods, and must conserve
their resources"
The real prosperity period, thinks
the inventor, will come at the close
of the next year, when the armies of
Europe have laid down their weapons
and turned to more peaceful pur-
suits.
There undoubtedly will be a great
influx of immigrants, coming to es-
cape the burdens of the heaviest war
taxes the world has ever seen. These,
however, will only add to the pros
perity of the nation, for they will be

IMPORTANT FINDING
IN MANLY REPORT
WALSH COMM 1


Industrial unrest In the nation is
caused by the payment of wages too
low to provide 3 decent standard Of
living.
This situation Is q direct result
of the lack of strong labor organiza-
tions by which wage earners could
force the payment of living wages.
Existence of many Industrial
communities where employers con-
troll the social and political life Of
the laborers and abridge their
fundamental rights as citizens.
The country's workers have not
received a fair share of the enOrm-
Gus Increase In wealth that has ac-
crued during the last quarter of
century.
Conditions in labor circles should
not be judged by what they have
been In the past in considering their
improvement, but what they might
be made by properly utilizing the
nations resources.
Equal political rights for women
and strong labor organizations are
recommended as remedial measures.

OARSMEN NAME
REGATTA DATE
FOR NEXT MAY
Boat Club Representatives Ar
range for Aquatic Revival Dur
ing City Celebration.

Selection of a date for the rowing
regatta on the Passaic river, in con-
nection with the celebration of the
250th anniversary of the founding of
Newark, was made at a meeting of
local enthusiasts at the Columbus
Institute on New street last night.
1t was decided to hold the event on
Monday, May 20, the day before Me-
mortal Day. A committee was
named to take charge.
The proposition to hold a regatta
here next year and thus inaugurate a
revival of aquatic sports on the Pas
sale river is being energetically
backed by the Institute Boat Club,
the only remaining active organiza-
tion of its kind in Newark, and also
by the Nereid Boat Club, of Belle
vile. Both of these clubs expect a
revival of rowing when the new
trunk sewer is put in operation Janu-
airy 1, 1917. The institute members,
under the leadership of Joseph A.
Carroll of the Committee of One
Hundred of the municipal celebra-
tion, believe that the anniversary is
an excellent opportunity for a revival
of rowing and a renewal of the old
time regattas which made the Passaic
river course famous throughout the
world.
Double Attraction.
1t was decided to hold the ami
versary regatta on May 90. because of
the fact that many crews from vari-
out parts of the country are sched-
uled to participate in the regatta of
the Harlem Rowing Association on
Memorial Day. This will give all of
the crews an opportunity to row at
Newark the day before.
II was decided to have an entrance
fee for all of the events. but to remit
all fees to those crews that reach the
starting point. There will be events
in all classes. A number of scullers
representing the institute now train
when the opportunity affords at high
tide and they say the Passaic river
Is In fair condition. They expect to
send in their entries, and the insti-
tute also expects to be represented by
several crews in the Junior events.
The Nereds also will be represented.
After the races barges will be In
waiting and will take the racing
boats to the Harlem river for this
contests the following day
At the meeting last night repre-
sentatives of the New York Rowing
Club, the Harlem Rowing Associa-
tion, the Nereid Boat Club the Rose
dale Boat Club of Hackensack and
the Institutes were present. A COM
mittee of fifteen, representing prac-
tically all of the clubs and associa-
tions in the metropolitan district
was named.
Joseph V. Lupo, of the Institute
Boat Club, was elected chairman of
the committee; Roger w. Brett, of
the Nereid, secretary, and John Ryan,
of the Rosedale club, treasurer.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held in the New York Ath-
letic Club, when representatives of
the New York Rowing Club will be
consulted about the date and cost,
This meeting will be held Septem-
ber 7,
