 tioD Adopted in HatterS' Case

4 NeW Haven, Sept. lO.-PrlOr to the resumption of the session of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor today President Julius Stremlau and Secre- tary R. P. Cunningham were excused Thile they went to Bridgeport to see Mayor c. B. Wilson. It is under stood that their purpose was to dis avoid a report that the federation had adopted resolutions condemning the attitude of Mayor Wilson towards union labor in his city. The con- vention's press committee stated that upon the return of the two officers it was probable that a statement Aesould be made covering the incident. 4 The federation expects to conclude it's session this afternoon after cleo ton of officers. President Stremlau probably will be reelected, and the other officers also, it being stated by delegates that no candidates had been advanced against the present board.
 Hatterse Resolution.
 , At the morning sessions there were a number of resolutions offered for adoption, including one dealing with the Danbury matters case, which was introduced by Hugh Hunter of Dan bury, and adopted as follows:
 Whereas, the final unjust judgment handed down by the courts in the Danbury matters case of $250,000 is about to be collected and,
 . Whereas, foreclosure proceedings have been brought against each of -$he defendant matters, having been served with the final papers that take their homes away from them, and \ f Whereas, the matters in fighting Anti Boycott Association fought the fight not for themselves alone but for or ganized labor in general, therefore,
 K Be 1t resolved that the delegates Dhere assembled use their best efforts when they go to their respective To- calls to have their organizations go on record as favoring official action being taken by the next national American Federation of Labor con- vention in San Francisco in behalf of the defendant matters, and
 ] Be it further resolved that each To- eel so favoring some such action being taken by the national body 1n- struct their secretary to communicate with their national delegates to the A. F. of l.. convention informing them of the action, and to use their best efforts to work for that end.
 MT. Hunter, in explaining the reso- Iutions said that many men 60 and ! 75 years of age who never had any Sling to do with the case are among the defendants in the proceedings.
 $ President Commended.
 Martin Gormen of Danbury, chair man of the committee on reports of officers offered one commenting President Stremlau for loyalty and work in behalf of legislation, and stating further that his lack of fur ther success was due simply to the fact that the city representations are outvoted by those from the coun- try towns. The resolution expressed belief that there would be more suc- cess in the future. ..t. < Other reports showed what was termed Tremendous activity in union circles, and predictions were made that the federation's member Ship would be doubled in the next tyear. < s#.....F. Carl Wyatt an organizer from Pitts burg, reported on conditions in Water bury and he was given vote of con- fdence.

April at the Brooklyn eastern district
terminal went into effect Monday
morning.
About so yard brakemen and con-
ductors are involved in the new strike
but their quitting work threw idle the
locomotive engineers and firemen.
Since the strike of last April the
strikebreakers had been organized.
They demand a collective agreement,
which would recognize the brother
hoods of trainmen and conductors, of
which they are now members.
Before the present strike the yard
brakemen were receiving 1886 a day
and the yard conductors S3.1S a day.
They are now on strike for the fol-
demands: Yard brakemen
s2.S5 a day at present and $500 a
day on May list; yard conductors
1926 a day at present and $3.50 on

the greatest of these three deadly
foes is drink said David Lloyd
George. chancellor of the exchequer,
replying to a d%eputation of Ship

members of which were unanimous
in urging that in order to meet the
national requirements at the present
time. there should be total prohibit

the sale of intoxicating liquors. This
should apply not only TO public
houses, but also to private clubs. so
as TO operate equally with all classes
of the community, they asserted.
1t was stated that despite the fact
that work. vas being carried on night
and day seven days a week. the total
working time on an average in nearly
all the British shipyards was actually
less than before the war. and the az
erage productiveness had decreased.
There were many men doing splendid
and strenuous work probably as good
as the men in the trenches, but many
did not even approximate full time,
thus seriously reducing the average.
Notwithstanding the curtailment
of the hours they are allowed to keep
open, the receipts of the public
houses in the neighborhood of the
shipyards had increased. in some
cases 40 per cent. AS an instance of
many similar cases, that of a battle
ship coming in for immediate repairs
was cited. She was delayed a whole
day through the absence of riveters,
who were drinking and %carousing.
In n yard the riveters have been
working on the average only forty
hours a week. and in another yard
only thirty-six hours.

which included representatives of the
leading s%hipbuilders of the country,

Train Falls to Awake Tramps Asleep

A tired tramp went to sleep on a
railroad track with the end OF a cross
tie for a pillow. A passenger train
came laundering along. Did it hurt
the sleeping tramp? 1t didn't even
wake him up.
That is the story that Councilman
A. w. Farlinger was telling at the
city hall in New York City.

a few days ago" so runs the Council
mans story, "and we had just passed
Cornelia when the engineer sighted a
man lying on the track, with his head
on the end of a cross tie. 1t was toe
late to stop and the train rolled by,
Many of us who got off the train ex-
pected to view the mangled remains
of one more unfortunate. Dead?
Why, that fellow was still sleeping
The cars must have passed within a
few inches of his head and yet he did
not wake up. When the conductor
gave him a punch or two he opened
his eyes and muttered: What's the

because We had disturbed his slumbers

JEWS BEGIN NEW YEAR 5676, WITH HALF
 A MILLION IN. WAR

Jewish people the world over are celebrating today the festival of Rosh ha-Shanah, ushering in the New Y ear 5676 of the Hebraict era The observance of this year is tinged with sadness, for, in common with the rest of humanity, the Hebrews have suffered terribly since they last re- joiced on the first day of Tishri. It is estimated that nearly half. Of million Jews are now enrolling in the armies of the warning nations of Eu- robe, and these will pass New Year Day in the trenches and in the field and in hospitals, while thousands of Jewish soldiers now, lie in unmarked graves. On many a bloody field the Jews have demonstrated that they are brave and patriotic warriors. In this conflict the Hebrews, like the unhappy Poles. have had to fight against one another, but so far as known they have shown no tendency to revolt against this tragic c1HcuTn- stance. About one-half of the Jews Of the world live in the dorninions of the Czar,s and one of the surprises of the war has been thefF loyalty to Russia and its government, by which they have so often been persecuted. It is more than likely that one of the results of the war will be a consider able annelioration of the conditions under which Russian Jews live, and a removal of at least some of the re- strictions placed upon Jews in, Rus sia.
 Thoughtful Jews believe thatsif this war puts an end to nilitarisTn it will at. the same time strike q death blow at anti-Semitism in Europe. Militar- ism and -Semitisrn have usually gone hand in hand, and every ad- vance in dem mocracy has been beneff- cial to the Jewish. people. Already it is apparent that the gaIlantry of the Jewish soldiers has served to do away with much of the European prejudice against the race. In the United States the Frank case has brought about a slight recrudescence of the anti Senitism from which North America for the most part, has been so hap pity free, but this is but a temporary and local prejudice which will soon pass.
