State Federation of
Labor Is Discussing
Weighty Labor Problems
BY .Associated Press.

Pittsburgh, Nov. 1.-Five hundred
delegates to the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor met here to hold
a two-day special convention in the
interests of the steel strike. Includ-
ed among the delegates were some
200 miners, also representing five dis
tricts of the United Mine Workers
within the state.
The morning session was taken up
largely by the examination and veri-
fication of the delegates credentials.
Later the business discussed included
the report of committee of Is which
visited Washington this week in be-
half of the organized labor of Allie
gheny county. Also there was some
discussion as to proposed methods
which the Federation may recommend
to organized labor to secure permis-
sion to hold meetings. Warning was
issued to the steel strikers yesterday
that If the coal strike materialiZed,
no meetings of strikers would be per-
mitted even in those steel towns
where meetings have been allowed
hitherto.

altogether Insignificant Fand the erect
on the temperature is impreceptible. be-
cause that change amounts to an eX-
tremely small fraction of the suns dis
tance, which is about 92,000.000 miles.
But. as already said, in rising only
about five miles the density of the air
falls to about two-fifths of it's value at
sea-level, and this thin air naturally
cannot receive and retain from he rays
passing through it as much heat as
does the far denser air below. 1t is
something like the difference between
thin blanket and thick one. Then,
too, the thin air does not prevent the
radiation of heat from the body as
dense air does. OF course, the suns
rays are just as "hot," /. e., Just as
capable of developing heat IN objects
that they touch at a high elevation as
at low one, but when the heat mus
derived is instantly radiated away, as
happens in very thin air. the body has
no time to become warmed.

But the rate of falling off of the tenn

exactly the same as that of the de-

Prohibition Drives
Paper Pickery From
Salvaging Derelicts
By .4ssocidtcd Press.

Camden, n. j., Nov. 1.-Camden's
municipal workhouse was closed to-
day by prohibition. Known as the
paper pickery and famous as an in
stit tuition for the utilization of hu-
man derelicts, the workhouse since
1912 has been operated by habitual
drunkards committed there by the
police magistrates.
Waste paper gathered by the
highway department has been baled
by the prisoners and the city has
been reaping yearly profit of $4,000
over the operating expenses and the
cost of boarding the inmates. In ad-
dition all the brooms for the street
sweeping machines and the hand
brooms used by the white wings
were made by the prisoners at a
nominal cost.
Only three workmen have been
at the pickery for the last week.
Their sentences were up some time
ago but they preferred to remain
because they had mt other place to
go.
"This industry cannot operate
without help" said Street Commits
sioner Sayre to-day as the last of the
baled paper was carted away.
The pickery will be used as a
warehouse.

National Guard Units
Organization Is Getting
Rapidly Under Way

General Frank d. Beary, the
ana other leaders of the military
forces of the State are giving con-
siderable attention to the reorisani-
zation of the National Guard divi-
sion which will include many of
the former service men who rallied
to the colors at the outbreak of the
war with Germany and who are
competent to organize splendid units
in the various communities to which
they will be assigned.
1t is not improbable that with the
final organization of the State forces
Pennsylvania will have two divisions
instead of one inasmuch as the total
strength of the Guard in this State
will approximate over 10000 men
in the final roundup. OF course, but
one division is likely at the begin
ming, but General Pershing and 9TH
ers are believed to favor a strong re-
serve force under the new Army bill
which is now under consideration by
Congress.
Selection of field officers for the
various regiments is being made b
the recently-appoi regimental
commanders, and when they in turn
have chosen the company officers
active recruiting of the enlisted per-
sonnel will begin. Officers who .'erv-
ed in the recent war and who ron-
template joining the National Guard
will be considered for appointment
by making application to the COM
manding general of the 2Sth pivi-
sion, w. G.. Price, Jr., Philadelphia,
Pa, or to the regimental commap-
der of the organization to which
they desire assignment.

Striking Miners Violate
Orders and Take Up
March to Charleston
BY Associated Press.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. l. - A
party of 500 or 400 striking miners
left the Cabin Creek county early
to-day to march to Charleston, des-
pite the rain and the orders of their
district officers forbidding the
march, according to official infor-
nation received here.
There was no information as to
whether the men were armed, and
the purpose of the march was not
made clear in reports received.
The men were expected to march
only as far as the end of the inter-
urban lines, when it was reported
they would take cars for the city.
Many miners were in the streets
here this morning, but they were or
derly and quiet. Four hundred Fed
eral troops who came in during the
night from Huntington were quar-
tered in the arnory, preparat ory to
leaving for their permanent camp in
Kanawha City. All military infor-
nation was refused by officers and
men.
