SATURDAY HALF-HoLIDAY
To Be Demanded Soon by Building
 Trades in Bridgeport.

As May day approaches, the unions in the building trades in Bridgeport are considering demands for better conditions says The Farmer. An eff fort made by the unions to hold a, con- ference with the master builders, Feb ruary 25, failed to attract the bosses. Only one employer. carpenter, ap- peared.
 Since then the Interstate association has sent out a letter to the effect that the unions are getting "inpudent again" and advising members not to heed demands
 The building trades will seek, it is said, a halliday off on Saturday with a flat weekly wage and no deduction for the halliday.
 The programme of the unions has not taken any settled form, however, although it is understood that the something should be done this year to better conditions because of the in creased cost of living.
 The circular letter sent out by the unions which received only one re- sponse, is as follows:
 sir: At conference held by the Journeymen Carpenters, Masons, Plumbers and Painters. the following resolution was adopted
 Whereas: The conditions now ex- isting in the building business of this city are not in keeping with condi- tions existing in other cities; and,
 Whereas. We believs there should be some action taken by both masters and journeymen that would result in a benefit to all concerned; therefore 1oe it resolved:
 That a call be issued for a joint conference composed of masters of all crafts as above and a committee of five journeymen from each of the above crafts to be held at Carpenters hall 1199 Broad street Friday eve ming. February 20, 1910; or at any other time and place designated by you or your craft

 By the laws of this state the only place . boy or girl over sixteen years of age can be sent for punishment is institutions which, no matter how veil conducted (and they are wonder fully well conducted), are bad institu- .icns from which to graduate boy or girl of ftSsGt age. It was to remedy this defect that the general assembly of 1908 empowered the governor to ap- point a commission to consider plan and erect a reformatory to which this class of. criminals could be sent, and $4eo.ooo was appropriated for the pur- pose. The courts are empowered to Co1yAnit when the institution is ready criminals between the ages of Is and
