JOHNSTON LOSING
|. A. M. ELECTION,
RETURNS SHOW
Check Up to April 81
Gives Anderson Lead

The election in the International
Association Of Machinists as reported
by the Anderson group, looks like
Johnston is going to have to do some
tall election cheating to count him
self in. Premonition may account for
the Johnston gang prophesying that
Johnston is going to get from $4,000
to 10000 votes while Anderson is due
to get from 1900 to 10000 And
then again it may not be premonition
but generalization in figuring that
they will give an take about that
much in the counting.
The Anderson group has issued the
following statement of the returns
that have come in up to April 81:
Some Of these locals have closed
their polls; others will continue vot-
ing till the end of the month.
(NoTE) An asterisk following the
lodge number indicates that lodge
nominated Johnston. (nn) following
lodge number indicates that lodge
made no nominations.

tees, and the shop committee system
in its application to the textile indus
try. Along with this, other special
problems, as well as the general con-
ditions in the industry were discussed.
organizatlonal Tasks
A central bureau OF united front
committees Of New England to carry
on the future work was organized. A
program was adopted, which calls for
the immediate organization thruout
New England Of united front textile
workers committees; the organization
70 shop committees in the various
mills; using both the united front com
mittee and the shop committee as the
basis for an amalgamation movement
from below; organization Of relief and
defense for the textile workers in their
present struggle; concrete proposals
on the manner Of handling present UNI
employment; a united front on the
political fleld-labor party.
This program as well as the fnanc.

and the future publication Of bulle-
tin was referred 70 the elected New

Takers Agents Tried
to Check Meeting; But
Only Got Miners Sore
BY WILLIAM SCHROEDER.

WEST FRANKFORT, nl-A very
interesting mass meeting took place
here with Freeman Thompson and
John Watt as speakers. II was the
intention to hold the meeting at the
band stand in the open air. But the
local branch Of the Harrington ma
chine succeeded In having the elect
ric light Of the bandstand cut on.
If the speakers had used it, they could
have had an audience Of several thou
sand. So Farringtons agents got that
stopped.
The meeting, therefore, had to be
held at the South Mine Local hall.
The hall was packed to full capacity
and hundreds OF men had to be turn
ed away.
The meeting lasted until 1880
p. M, but not man left the hall be-
fore the meeting was over. Many
times Thompson. and Watt also. had
to stop speaking on account OF ap.
plause.
Freeman Thompson promised TO re-
turn in about two weeks. When he
does, the militant workers here wiz
see to 1t that he and Watt have a
chance TO speak TO a larger audience
than they had tonight. The ball is
rolling-may It break Farrington's
neckl

we're present. Foster spoke on the
present situation in the textile indus
try. He contributed many suggestions
toward the practical organization OF
the work in the district.
The Lawrence conference will be
followed by others, which will lead to
the organizing Of general mass gath
ering which, it is hoped, will launch
a broad mas movement in the textile
industry. Such a movement can only
come about by the persistent efforts
OF the various elements. who accept
the leadership and follow the program

League.

The Flower Shows.

We have had the usual volume Of
May-June news Of rose shows in Wash
ington, perhaps a little more of the
news this year than usual. The indica-
ton Is that practical interest in rails
ing flowers is increasing. Most Of the
news comes from parts OF Washington
which few years ago were called sub
urban villages. but which are now
within the walls or at least the lines
OF the city. Some OF these city dis
tricts retain the ancient suburb names,
as Brookland, Petworth. Takoma,
Mount Pleasant. Kenilworth, Ana
costa and the like. but their avenues
and streets have city names and mum.
bers, city paving, lights, fireplugs and
all that, and the once quiet village
lanes need policemen at crossings to
guide the traffic.
In these city sections are gardens
Many OF them are old gardens and
have been bearing lilies, lilacs and
roses for half century, and a great
many newcomers fall in line with the
tradition and have garden appur-
tenances to the homes. The village
custom Is kept up OF having a horticul-
tural club, botanic club, rose club, iris
club, chrysanthemum or dahlia club.
In these shows amateur gardeners set
out their best blooms with the hope
of getting a prize. or course, II Is not
the prize they want, but the honor of
being given public recognition as
knowing a good deal about flowers
The winning Of prize for growing a
fine rose, carnation, dahlia or other
garden beauty is an honor and gives
distinction 20 the winner.
There are health and happiness in
the garden and the garden contests
Not all garden owners go into these
contests. but the, flower shows have
a wide and becoming effect on many
gardens that do not send flowers to
the show. Keeping alive the spirit OF
the garden makes for an attractive
home, and streets Of homes with pretty
gardens make an attractive city sec
ton. Most persons IN Washington,
even those who never have a rose that
does not come from the flower shop
like TO read OF the rose and other
flower shows, and very likely the
thoughts OF many persons are turned
to the pleasure OF having q home with
a garden.
