PHILADELPHIA, June 30.—With
a clamor that should have disturbed
the taciturn composure of Billy
Penn’s statue topping City Hall, the
vanguard of over ten thousand dele
gates who will attend the convention
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World hit Philadelphia today.
As each delegation rolled into the
City of Brotherly Love it was met at
the railroad station by special com
mittees and brass bands and escort
ed with loud acclaim to its hotel.
Before nightfall it is expected that
6.000 of the ‘liveliest and peperl
est” ad men of the country will be
in complete possession of the city.
Delegates from every state in the
union and every large and small city
of the country will talk advertising
today, while awaiting the formal
opening of the six-day convention
tomorrow, when religious services
will be held in over a score of
churces. to be followed by a great
inspiration service at the Metropol
itan Opera House.
The scene of the world’s greatest
"business gabfest” will be two of the
country's foremost educational instl.
tions. The big general meetings of
the convention will be held in the
Commercial Museum, itself a store
house of knowledge, w’hile the
twenty-two departmental gatherings
and conferences, of which there will
be about thirty, will be held in the
various buildings of the University
of Pennsylvania.
The entertainment program for
the delegates is the most elaborate
ever arranged here. Nothing in the
way of expense was spared.
The women visitors, numbering
about 2,000, are provided for as well
as the men. The Poor Richard
Club, host, will endeavor to send the
visitors away from the city with the
avowed intention of returning
whenever the opportunity presents
itself.
Two of the greatest attractions of
the week will be a spectacular pa
geant Monday night and another
held on the Schuylkill river Thurs
day night. In addition there will be
military and naval maneuvers at
Franklin Field and League Island
navy yard, sight-seeing tours and ex
cursions to every place of historic
interest, of which Philadelphia
abounds.

Cleveland Workers
SI Get Wage Increase
CLEVELAND, June 30.—Wage
increases affecting 100,000 workers
here and totaling $15,000,000 an
nually have been or will be granted
before July 1, according to figures
compiled by John Owens, Cleveland
Federation of Labor secretary.
Owens estimates that half the
men and women working here, num
bering 200,000, will benefit in wage
boosts, at an average of not less
than fifty cents a day each.
Common labor, which has ad
vanced from $2 to $2.50, is scarce
at the latter figure. A quarry strike
at a near-by town affected 500 men,
who asked that their pay be raised
to $2.50. Before the quarry could
settle it, Clevelanders had hired all
the strikers at their own prices.
Many thousands of workers have
already been granted more pay, in
cluding 10,000 steel workers. Agree
ments have been signed affecting
over 20,000 other employes and
granting wage boosts of from 20
cents to $1.20 per day per man.
Machinists and building laborers
numbering 16,000 have made de
mands or plan to make them for
increases ranging from 30 to 50
cents a day.
In practically every Industry in
the Cleveland district workers have
j begun to share or intend to share
in the prosperity of the mills and
factories.
