Tuesday. This was determined in the
Democratic caucus. held yesterday af-
ternoon. Representative Wilson of
Bridgeport was chosen chairman of
the caucus. Representative Bree of
New Haven was selected as clerk. Min
GRITTY Leader Thons explained the bill
and made an appeal for solid Demo

with slight amendments, from the
Senate.
He later offered a resolution binding
the Democratic members. The reso-
luton was unanimously adopted.
The matter of county commissioners
was taken up. The Magee bill having
been beaten the election of commits
sioners will proceed in the usual way.
It was voted that the Democrats in
the House shall solidly support each
and every Democratic candidate, who
is the choice of his county caucus for
county commissioner. This Will pre-
vent trading away candidates.
The House being Republican there
will be disagreeing action. The result
will probably be committee Of con-

May Day as the universal Labor
Day had its origin in the United
States, the country in which the Gus
tom Is least observed. At the 1888
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, held in St Louis, Sam
ueI Gompers recommended that GER
tain day be set aside for a national
demonstration in favor of an eight
hour day. It was resolved that the
first of May. 1890, be that day. The
National Federation of French La
Dor Unions decided to take similar &C
ton, and set the same date for the
dem onsration. The International
Workingme ems Congress, a Socialistic
organization, then resolved that May
Day be celebrated annually by the
ttproIetartat'' of all lands In Amer
lea the labor unions changed the date
of Labor Day to the early Autumn,
but the Socialists, in America as else
where, continue to celebrate the First
of May.
At the International worTingmen's
Congress at Zurich twenty years ago
the may Lay 0SnOnSLFaI1On was de-
fined as "a means Of demonstrating
the solidarity and brotherhood of all
workingmen, regardless OF national
tty, color, creed or race, and their
earnest request for peace and protest
against the criminal acts of the CAPT
talist class in bringing about war"

TEACHERS OF AGR1oULrURE BETTER PAID

It pays to teach agriculture According bulletin
just issued by the United States Bureau of Education the
teacher of agriculture in the high school usually receives
considerably higher salary than the other
subjects The most usual salary for high
schools in the United States is $780, teachers of
agriculture in the studied the salary
81 200.
Lack of teachers" is the explanation offered by the
authors of the bulletin to for the relatively higher
remuneration for those who teach agriculture When the

Senator Brandegee is yet another
of the Republicans who seem sur
prised that Democrats in Congress
who were elected to revise and reduce
the tariff actually seem disposed to
keep faith with their constituents. He
cannot understand 1t, and he bIames
the progressiveS most OF all the voters
in Connecticut, but he is almost as
hard on the Democrats. He says in
a published letter that a. Democratic
legislator sis pledged to cut off the
protection which should prove to be
required OF course, that is not true
to determine what is proved to be
required
But he is at his best when he scores
these Democrats for doing what they
were elected to do. Notice this:
For years their platform and public
men have stated that this was the
very thing that they intended to do,
and that If put into power, would do,
