LONDON, Nov 11.-(Special from United Press )-Lord CharlemOnt, SS, eighth viscount of that noble Irish family, is in a fair way to become a member of the Tinplaters union. He not only admits but welcomes the possibility.
 Lord Charlemont has been working for months in a munition factory at Coal island, Southern England. He started at S6 week and piecework. To date he has made no less than S7 a week and sometimes ST. He has acquired some knowledge of met al turning and having knack for machinery admits he has Handed on his feet" He has worked on shells with trade umonists and there was no kick. That is where he first got his idea of joining the tinplaters.
 Alongside Lord CharlemOnt are gentlemen and laborers, tradesmen, chauffeurs,, groOms and gardeners all making munitions. He declares they are all making good. Average intelligence, he insists, backed by a desire to do ones best, have beaten skilled labor at its own game.
 "The first day" says Lord Charle- mont, q did thirty ten-pOunder shells and thought it jolly good. The sec Ond day 1 did fifty, and now l do from 13O to 15O quite easily. have been on sixty -pounders also; nasty things to tackle-weight about 40 pounds apiece and are two feet and a half long.

THREE HUNDRED new members
L for the Chamber Of Commerce is
the record for the first day Of the

were turned in with one committee to
hear from which cannot report until
this morning owing to the fact that
the chairman of the committee was

fore making his report for the after

say that the total for the day viii

No Backslidcrs,
A cursory inspection of the applica-
tion blank also reveals this significant
fact. that all Of those who have signed
up are new members, not old ones re-

campaign is over that many Of the
old-time members, who for some rea-
son or other have not continued their
membership to date, will also re-enlist
