FEDERATION
CONVENTION OPENED

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. Ii
movement for the public operation
of the trolleys of the Public Service
Railway Company will be fostered
by the State Federation of Labor,
which began it's forty-fifth annual
convention here yesterday.
The leadership in this movement
will be taken by William Brennan,
director of public safety of New
ark, who is a delegate to the con-
vention. Brennan was one of the
speakers at yesterdays initial SEES
sion, and let it be known that he
would later have something to say
regarding the Public Service strike.
Brennan, 1t became known, is
strongly in favor of taking action
whereby either the state or the var
lous municipalities effected will take
over the trolley system now tied ur
by a strike and operate the lines. Ar
thur A. Quinn, president of the state
federation, said today that some
steps must be taken to oper-
atoms along the great trolley sys-
TEN upon which t~wo-thirds of the
people of the state depend for trans
portation.
The forty-ffth annual convention
of the Federation opened yesterday
with $50 delegates, representing So
600 members, in attendance. The
first day proved a stormy one.
A row was precipitated by the fact
that there had been circulated
throughout the convention hall cir
culars and booklets regarding the
New Jersey Building Congress, and
this literature failed to bear the
union label. Instantly this discovery
was made pandemonium broke loose,
The offending literature was official
ly elected, but the debate on the
label continued. At times a dozen
delegates were on their feet at once,
clamoring for recognition. President
Quinn hammered the table in vain
for order. During the debate the
question of other labels than the
printers was brought up. "Would
you buy a suit with the amalgamat-
ed garment workers label on it?'
one delegate shouted,
II would not" answered President
Quinn, because that label repre-
sents a secession movement"

PETITIONS IN CHANNEL
FIGHT NOW ON FILE
Continued from Page y

"In addition to our local aspira-
lions we venture the suggestion that
in the event of emergency n war
vessels of the navy would be de-
| priyed of the facilities of our dry
dock and we'll equipped shipyard, If
unable to float their deeper draft
war vessels through the present
channel.
I'VE feel justified In expressing
the hope that this necessary work
NAV be done, and in asking to be
placed on record as strongly in favor
of it."
A. C. Clark, manager Of the Rari-
tan Copper Works, made the follow
ing statement for the consideration
of the Board of Commerce and Navi-
igation:
Concerning the proposed 30-foot
channel in Raritan river we r quite
naturally desirous e seeing this rro-
ject accomplished. AS you know,
we have considerable tonnage, us
ing Raritan Bay and river and such
"a channel would be decidedly ad-
vantageous to us. We receive an
nually approximately 100000 tons
of raw material and ship out about
the same tonnage of refined copper.
The raw material comes largely
from gulf ports to New York and
is then l.ghtered to our plant.
"A thirty foot channel would per-
nit ocean carriers to come direct to
our dock. In addition to the cop
per material received and shipped
we also use approximately 100000
tons of fuel oil per year. This also
is shipped to our plant in oil barges
whereas the thirty foot channel
would permit ocean tankers coming
direct to our plant effecting a very
material saving in the purchase
price of this OIL"
