 The local union is not sufiiciently strong to bring about any such measure, 1t was reported from au- thentic circles.

Two Baptisns


 Father John Mclaughlin, the hospital chaplin, baptized Fanny formally last night. He asked the father the childs name and he replied, Fanny" Among Italians and other latins Fanny IS e corrup- ton of Frances and because of that he christened her Frances Mary.
 It was the baby's second baptism. A few seconds after birth, Elizabeth Murphy, one of the attending nurs- es sprinkled few drops of water on her, murmuring, T baptize thee in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost"
 The Roman Catholic church per- mlts lay baptisms in situations where the unbaptized person is at the verge of death and no priest is available.
 The baby was in c special crit warmed by electric light bulbs. Yes- terday six bulbs were kept lighted These were turned out one by one and today only one was burning.

 COP. Votes for Hayes
 Democrats expect that Mayor Frank Hayes will pick Up many votes this fall from those who tra- ditionally pull the republican lever but who felt that this years fusion ticket Is c sellout. Support for Mayor Hayes in republican quarters is increasing daily.
 Not only Is the republican branch Of the fusion party troubled with diSsenSion, but things are little bet- ter In the ranks of the independent democrats. Many who supported the party two years ago when 1t ran independently distrust the align. ment with the republicans and will not support the fusion ticket in the campaign. At least one former lead- CT of the party Is said to have thrown up his hands in disgust and resigned.
 The reaction thus far to the fusion ticket indicates that the master minds may have outSmarted them' selves.

the operators In connection with the unions demand for Q ten per cent flat wage increase is the same and the matter has been in the hands of the state mediation board since Thursday, when the news of neGo- tiations was first reported In The Democrat.
 At the present time, however, local operators have been claiming that it is virtually impossible for them to meet the full demands of the union. Some of the representa-. tives of the local trucking concernS in fact. have been reported as say- ing that a reduction of wages would be more appropriate.
 On the other hand the union re. mains adamant in its stand and has asked the state board to look into the matter. There can be no strike at the present time because the union has Q two year contract with the companies. The reason for the present situation is the clause in the contract which gives all parties. including the state board which brought about the signing of this contract, the right to review the wages at the end of the first year.
 Tn . statement given to The Democrat on Thursday, Edmund Naylor, business agent for the local A. ?. of l.. truckers, intimated that the drivers failed to see how their demands were too steep. He ex- plained the average weekly wages of the road and platform men ct the time and further stated that the road men must deduct their own expenses out of their pay.
