Vinson of the circuit court for this county will expire on Saturday next on account of the age limit of seventy years. For the past thirteen years Judge Vinson has oc- cupied this honorable and important posi- tion to the entire satisfaction of the peo- ple cf the county, and the failure of the last legislature to extend his term to the full limit for which he was elected was strongly criticised by members of the bar and a large majority of the people, both of this and Frederick county. The posi- tion will be filled by appointment of the governor until the next general election. ‘There are a number of aspirants for the appointment, and there is likely to be a lively scramble for the nomination at the democratic primaries. Taking the vote at the last election as a basis the republi- cans have a majority in the judicial dis- trict, composed of this and Frederick county, and that party has strong hopes of being able to fill the place. —<——__ FALLS CHURCH.

Es- Rumors of the Reopening of a Labor Question, It is understood in labor circles that on temorrow evening there will be a confer- ence between representatives of ihe Fed- eration of Labor, District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, and Columbia Type- graphical Union, for the purpcse of deter- mining the relations existing between the organizations indicated and the Lyceum Theater. Three years ago the manage- ment of the Lyceum came in conflict with organized labor by reason of the employ- ment in the orchestra cf a musician whose membership in the musical union, by rea- son of non-payment of dues, had lapsed. This was the starting point of a contro- versy which resulted in a boycott against the theater. Concessions were made and the incident closed. It is alleged by the representatives of organized labor in the District that non-union men have since been employed. In a talk this afternoon with a reporter for The Star, Manager Kernan stated that no non-union men were employed about the theater. He paid union wages and employed union men. He did this not only because it was to his interest to do so, but because personally he was a believer in the effectiveness for good of labor organizations. He had understood that several men not members of unions had worked about the house when it was remodeled, bnt this was contract work, and he did not have direct control of the men. His contracts all read that only union men are to be employed on any work which he contracts for. He did not know that there was trouble in the air, but thought that if there was it could be readily adjusted. ——__ Independent Order Mechanics. Anchor Lodge, No. 9, I. O.
