Internal disputes, the national con
vention ruled, must be settled quickly
and quietly in order not to interfere
with war work.
Inter-un;on difficulties in which
organization has jurisdiction over GER
tain electrical workers were ordered
settled in conferences to be held with
in ninety days from the date of the
convention adjournment. The executive
council of the federation will render
judgment if conferences bring no re-
suits.
Electric crane operators are involved
in arguments. A strike in the Seattle
shipyards was said to be imminent as
result of one.
A resolution dealing with the Seat
tie situation and asking for a settle
ment says:
"The despute has seriously hampered
the work in some of the government
plants. of the northwest now engaged
in necessary war production and en-
gendered contention and i'll feeling III
all trades engaged in those industries. !"
1t is charged that portable and
steam and operating engineers are en-
croaehing upon the jurisdiction of
electrical workers by claiming the right
TO operate electrical machinery.
The convention voted that the dis.
pute be held in allegiance until con
ference reached an agreement or the
executive council makes decision.
A resolution to remove barriers aris
ing especially since war work began

from one union to another caused >

ment.
Speculation is rife as to what thes
conditions will be after the war, which
speculation can only and should be
dispelled through organization and
economic education of the workers
which would give a positive guarantee
of security for the future .
The convention adopted a provision
of this resolution providing that the
executive council shall carry into eff.
feet most intensive campaign for or.
ganization and urge all international,
state and central bodies 4, the

Other provisions caused debate

union to another and that local unions
appeal to the federation to help move
burdens upon unoon members desiring
to transfer from one union to aonther.
Delegates pointed out that since the
war work began it has been Necessary
for many workers to leave their uuions
and join others and that in doing this
they have lost pensions and other
benefits they held and had paid for III
their original unions.

Cameron and MacIay
Boys and Girls Put
1lth Ward Over Top

The school boys and girls of Har-
risburg have done splendidly in the
drive just closing. Not only have
the Victory Boys and Girls raised
large sums, but the ward quotas have
been materially increased by con-
tributions from teachers and pu-
pills.
For example, late yesterday, just
as Chairman James P. Mccullough
had concluded that it was impossible
for the Eleventh ward to go over
the top, the telephone bell rang
and he was informed that the teach
ers and pupils of the Maclay build
ing had raised S113 for the war work
and would contribute it through the
Eleventh ward committee.
This cheered Mr.. Mccullough
nightly, but the ward was still un-
DIR its quota. Suddenly the tele-
phone tangled again and the Cam
eron building, a much larger school,
reported that the teachers had con-
tributed S114, the little boys and
girls S90.50 and the Victory Boys
and Girls 1855 toward the fund.
This put the Eleventh ward over
the top, and the credit goes to the
school boys and girls of the ward.

Pennsylvania War Men to
Be Landed in PHILADELPHIA

Washington, Nov 16.-Pennsyl-
Vania troops who fought so gallantly
in France at Chateau Thierry and
on other famous battle grounds, will
be brought to Philadelphia in trans
ports and sent from that city to
their homes if the plan is feasible
This is the idea of Secretary
Baker, who yesterday while paying
high tribute to the PENNSYLVANIA
lighters, expressed the utmost sym
pathy for the state which has lost
more soldiers than all the southern
states combined and more than any
other state in the union. This loss,
estimated now at more than 5000,
may reach greater proportions when
the final casualty list is Yrceived.
The suggestion" said Secretary
Baker, "is an excellent one. l know
of no particular reason why the
Pennsylvania troops should not be
landed at Philadelphia, and why the
plan should not be followed in other
instances. New York and New Jer-
sey troops, of course, should be dis
embarked at New York, Maryland
and West Virginia troops at Balti-
more; troops from the southern
states at, Newport News, and New
England state troops at Boston.
THE idea appeals to me greatly.
Each state should have her own
troops delivered to her port town
and celebrations might properly be
accorded them by the home folks.
AS 1 see It now there Is no reason
why the plan outlined as to the land
ing of the troops should not be car
ried outn
