Herbert PEARS, who concluded the
speaking. cast a reflection not only
on the Tobin ticket but on all who
have been attending his meetings by
saying, 'Tobin would give his right
arm TO look into the faces of as many
honest people as / have in the last
few weeks" He, like Mr.. Stoner.
confined himself to generalities. He
named the problems that will come
before the next administration such
as, water supply, gas and other things
but did not give his listeners an idea

are elected. will deal with them. His
last words were in deefnse of his rec

Mr.. Stoner took his opponents to
task for what he said was an effort
TO make the Ku Klux Khan an issue
in the campaign. First, he said, Citi-

charged with having been brought out

Alliance.

FLINTS TO HAVE BANK
The Baltimore Conference Decides to
Start One in Toledo

The primary object of the recent
Convention of the American Flint
Glass Workers at Baltimore, Md,
was of course to consider general
working conditions and wage demands
facturerS, as well as the status of the
union.
One of the most important and far
reaching conclusions of the confer
ence was the decision to start a bank
in Toledo, which will be backed by
and controlled by the union. Just
what the capitalization of the institu-
tion will be has not been determined,
but it will be ample to attract the
necessary capital to meet the needs
of industry in such a thriving COM
mercial center.
Fifty one per cent of the capital
will be retained by the American
Flint Glass Workers Union, thus as
suring the organization control.
Forty nine per cent Of the capital
will be disposed of to the public gen
orally and to individual members of
the Flint Glass Workers.
The Locomotive Engineers We're the
first to start a big national bank in
Cleveland and the handling of that
institution has proven an entire sue
cess. The Engineers, having blazed
the way, furnished the path for other
labor organizations to follow suit
and the Flint Glass Workers will be
the next union to take out charter
for national bank with its business
place at Toledo.
William P. Clarke, of Toledo, was
elected president for the eighth con-
secutive term, and Samuel Gompers,
president of the A. F. of L., in an ad-
dress paid a glowing tribute to Pres.
Clarke's abilities as leader during
that time.
Atlantic City was chosen as the
place of meeting for 1924.
At the conclusion Of the convention
the officers and department eXecu-
tives left for Atlantic City to nego-
tiate with the national association Of
pressed and blown glass manufactur-
ers when wage scales and working
conditions were discussed. The fol-
lowing advances were secured. Gen
eral paste mold and bar and table
ware were granted increases ranging
from ten to fifteen per cent. over old
rates.

TWO FINE ADDRESSES
Small But Appreciative Audience Lis
ten to International Officers of
|. A. of M. at Meeting on
Wednesday Night

Those B. & 0. shopmen who faileC
to attend the federated crafts meeting
Wednesday evening, and there were
many of them, and hear the addresses
delivered by H. w. Brown and P. j
Conlon, two of the vice presidents of
the |. A. of NJ, were heavy losers
and surely missed a great amount of
valuable information. These two
gentmen, who made the trip from
Washington to talk to the Newark
boys deserved a much larger audience
than the one which greeted them.
The meeting was called to order by
Joe Church, president of Licking
Lodge No. 80, and Mr. Brown was
first introduced. He spoke at length
on the present general condition of
the shop crafts, the machinists' in par
ticular, and dwelt especially upon the
necessity of united action and the inn
portance of increasing the number of
organized men, and urged that mem
bers devote more time to the welfare
of their union, especially that they
attend its meetings and render all as
sistance in their power to the officers
and committees. He also spoke on the
Importance of united action in pol
itical affairs, and urged that party
lines be forgotten at election time
and that only those men who were
known friends of labor be voted for.
A long step towards cleaning house
had already been taken, he said, by
keeping up the good work in local,
state and national affairs we would
finally down the power of Wall street
and curb the usurped power Of the su-
preme court.
In closing he paid tribute to the
pioneers in the labor movement and
urged younger members to emulate
their example.
The address of Mr.. Conlon, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Brown, was a jewel. He
traced in detail the causes which lead
up to the great strike of last year and
exposed the plans and tricks of the
higher-ups to kill the National Agree
ment and disrupt the railroad unions,
all of which resulted in igniminious
failure He, like Mr.. Brown, urged
greater activity and cooperation, and
cautioned the men against the dan
ger of permitting trivial matters
to creep in, which if continued would
cause dissentions and quarrels, and
greatly interfere with the usefulness
and harmony of the great and power
full railroad craft unions.
The visit of these two gentlemen
will undoubtedly result most bene-
ficially to the labor cause in Newark,
and aid in more firmly uniting and
Ctren othpninO the fraternal bonds
which binds together the powerful
shopcrafts organizations of Newark.
Before the meeting a rising vote Of
thanks and appreciation was rendered
the distinguished visitors.

TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY

The regular meeting of the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly was
called to order at nine o'clock Sunday
morning by Vice Pres. E. H. Frank
lin with large number of members
in attendance.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved, and a
number of important communications
disposed of, among them being one
calling attention to the fact that the
time for filing petitions for the Old
Age referendum was up, and urging
that all such, properly attested, be
sent in Immediately.
The Labor Day Committee stated
that their weekly meetings were well
attended, and that from present indi-
cations this years celebration would
be hummer. The contest for the
diamond ring to be given free to the
lady securing the greatest number of
votes, is warming up; many contest
ants are in the field and each is work
ing hard to secure the much coveted
trophy. The committee will have a
good announcement to make of the
whole plan for the Labor Day cele-
bration at the next Assembly meet
ing, Wednesday evening, August 9.

The success of the contest for the
beautiful diamond ring to be given

is surprising the most sanguine eX-

following ladies, in the order of their
standing in race on Wednesday night,
are working hard for the coveted
prize. The contest is only started,
and there is ample time for others to
enter. Get in, the waters fine.

FARMERS TO UNITE WITH
LABOR

United action with organized labor
is sought by the Farmers Union of
Canada. The farmers have laid aside
the hostile feeling toward city work
ers inspired in them for years by the
press of the employers. They are
taking the position that cooperation
'on the economic and political field
with their fellow workers is the way
out of their troubles. A wheat pool
will be attempted to stabilize the
price and selling volume of the wheat.

WHERE JUSTICE REIGNED.

A week or so ago, a prominent ply
stefan of Philadelphia was brought be-
fore Judge James Gay Gordon, Jr.,
charged with recklessness and being
intoxicated while driving his automo-
bile. The physician in question was
given a hearing, and there appeared
at his trial eminent members of the
profession. including the h~ead-surgeon
at a well-known hospital, a clergyman
and numerous patients. All argued
before Judge Gordon for a suspended
sentence, claiming the services Of the
physician to be indispensable from the
viewpoint of the public. To all of
which Judge Gordon lent an attentive
ear. He weighed the facts, and gave
every consideration to the defendant.
Undoubtedly he was touched by the
dramatic pleadings in this little dra-
ma. But he was not swerved from his
duty, and imposed a prison sentence
and fine of sufficient proportions to
convince the physician and his admir-
ers that nc amount of pull could stay
the scales of justice SO long as he
presided over that court. If the courts
throughout our country has more
Judge Gordons to preside over them,
there would be more respect for our
laws and the rights of our citizens.

A year ago the only method for soly-

scientist would have TO pick out a bee

Of a given bee for months. In storing
