EARLIER EXIT FOR BUCKET SHOPS House Amends Bill Fixing the Time for Ousting
 Them as Oc-
 tober. SENATE ALLOWED
 UNTIL JULY, 1908. Morris Cove Road Up Again -Governor's S Commission in Woman Factory
 Bill Killed.

Hartford, June 19,-The house this afternoon reconsidered it's action in passing earlier in the day, the bucket ] shop bill which went through the sem ate yesterday. An amendment to the bill which passed both houses provides that the act shall take effect July 1, 1908, but this afternoon Representative Hooker of Hartford, announced that since the senate passed it, several mem bers of that body had been warned against the bucket shops which, he said were already located in Thompsonville just below the state line, ready to do business. He said that he was sure the senate would pass an amendment providing that the bill go into effect October of this year. MT Hooker then introduced an amendment to that effect and the house passed 1t uhani- mously. Representatives Malone and Birdseye said that the general assemb- ly could not act too quickly in driving the bucket shops out of the state.
 The matter of the amendment to the charter of the East Haven and Morris Cove railroad occupied the attention of the house this afternoon, despite the faet that this measure was supposed to be dead as far as this general as- sembly is concerned. The house voted to receive a resolution under the head of new business, rather unusual pro- ceeding at this late hour and after the vote was announced, an amendment was introduced by Representative Bunes which provides that 20 per cent of the capital stock shall be paid in in cash, to meet the objection raised In the senate. Several representatives spoke on the amendment which was f- nally tabled for printing In the journal. Action probably will be taken to-nlor- row on the amendment and the bill.
 Another old and much discussed ques- ton was resurrected in the house when Representative Malone moved to recall from the office of the secretary of state the Damascus railroad bill

BENCH MEMS
 SIDE OF STRIKE Statement Thoroughly Out lining the Stand Taken by Inside Employees
 of Carpenters.
COMPARISON WITH
 THE OUTSIDE MEN
Acted Under Orders of Dis trict Council When They Left the
 Shops.

Below is a clear statement Of the stand taken by the striking fbench and mill men in their controversy with their employers. The bench men struck about two weeks ago, demanding an eight-hour day and soIne other conces- sions. They have been working nine hours day while the outside carpen- ters have been working only eight hours. They think that their work is more confining and difficult than that of the outside men, and that thefrahours should be at least as short. Thesstate- ment
 The bench and mill men organized the Bench and Mill Men's union, local 611, some time ago, and have at.present about 12O members.
 The carpenters and joiners have been organized for years as the Carpenters and Joiners' union, local 7S and have. about 700 members.
 Both organizations report to and arc subordinate to a district council and the district council to the International association, composed of some 250,0O0 carpenters and jotners.
 The carpenters and jolners of local 7e work eight hours at minimum wage of $S.25 per day. They frequently do inside work-in the mill or at the bench -stiil receiving their regular wage, and work nine hours day.
 The bench and mill men work nine hours and receive from 20 to 30 cents per hour, or a maximum wage of $2,70 per day, except for the foreman of the shop. The inside men are often put on outside jobs. and in that case receive their usual wage and work eight hours outside and make up the other hour in the shop.
 The difficulties arising from this sys- tenn of hours and wages of the two sets of men, and the conviction that they should have better renlunerationl led the Bench and Mill Mems local 61l to ask for an eight-hour day and cer- tain other concessions.
 This they did in a schedule sent to their employers on June 1, accompa- nied by a respectful circular letter call-
