Handled Labor Troubles.

Mr.. Punderford said that he had
personally handled labor troubles for
the Connecticut company, except when
for harmony he allowed a board of
arbitration to be made up, but never
to his knowledge had he known of the
state board of mediation being called
for official action, he said, in confrma-
ton of a statement made by Mr.. Ship
man. He spoke of the good feeling
between the company and the men
and said that the public would be the
sufferer i'll case of q strike. lie was
positive that the present law worked
no injustice to anybody.
Mr.. Droege described the hostile at
titude of the New Haven road
against the bill and said emphatically
that the real object of the bill was to
give notice to the union "entertaln-
ment" committees SO that they could
deter men from answering the adver-
tisements and from seeking work after
arriving at their destination. He said
that this could be done in many ways,
by suasion threats, etc. In answer to
a question he said that he did not
know personally of any agencies for
strikebreakers but had heard there
were such agencies

Hartford, March 11-Reprcsenta-
tievs of corporations employing large
numbers of men, such as the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road company and toe connecticut
company, appeared yesterday before
the labor committee hearing and ex-
pressed widely different views on the
senate bill concerning advertising for
the employees during labor troubles,
supported by organized labor. After
many labor union> leaders had spoken
for the bill, Arthur T.. Shipman ap-
pearing for the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Connections; J. K Punder-
ford vice president and general man.
ager Of the Connecticut company; j.
A. Droege, general superintendent of
the New Haven" road, and others
vigorously opposed it. Mr. Shipman
denounced the bill as zone of the silli-
est ideas of legislation ever presented
to the general assembly of Connect
cut" and Mr.. Droege characterized
it as a widely indefinite bill, saying
That the clause labor troubles was
too general.
The bill would provide that no en-
ployer during the continuance of a
strike, lockout or other labor trouble
among his employees shall publicly ad-
Vertise in the newspapers, or in other
ways, for employees, nor solicit any
person to fill any Of the places by
labor troubles. 1t would provide that
this phase Of the bill should cease
being operative when the state board

O'Mara Supports Bill.

Patrick f. O'Mara, representing the
New Haven trades council, spoke in
support, saying that passage of the
Dill would ensure more community
protection because seventy-fve per
cent. of strike breakers were trouble
som and Objectionable and a menace
TO lie and property. He cited in
stances. He told hew New Haven
newspapers refused to publish an ad-
vertisement saying that a strike was
in progress at a local factory and
that he was compelled to go to the
New York World" where it was
published for five weeks, and then
presumably stopped by an invisible
means He described conditions in
New Haven during the strike, saying
that the city was the dumping
ground for Objectionable men and
alleging that many of the strike
breakers were once convicts. He
said that the bill had been copied
word for word from Massachusetts
law now in effect for five years He
wished to prevent manufacturers
from securing employees without first
letting them know that a strike was
in progress at the factory.
Strike Breakers '1'icl>ups."
ID. M. Ornburm, representing the
Clgarmakess union of New Haven,
told of trouble at Tampa, Fla, to
which place, he said many men went
seeking employment and, not find
ing it, were unable to return
home because OF lack of funds.
This he laid to advertisements pub
lished by the employers that did not
note the fact that there was a strike
In progress He said that strike break
ers were not regular workingmen, but
"pickups." Jasper McLevy of Bridge
port first vice president of the Con-
necticut Federation of Labor, told of
the innocent, we'll Gaming man who
sought employment in a city where
there was a strike in progress, un-
known to him. Others spoke in SUBJ
sanitation and support.
Mr.. Shipman was the first speaker
against the bill and he Immediately
called the bill a "blackmail BILL" ask
ing how the manufacturers could con-
troll the man who says that he is an
agent Of the company. He said that
the employer was a shining mark to

United States Submarine
Sunk off Honolulu Har-
Dor Not Found
HAS BEEN ON BOTTOM
MORE THAN "a HOURS
Naval Authorities Think the
Vessel Must Have Been
Crushed

Trapped at the bottom of Honolulu
harbor, under at least IS fathoms OF wa
ter and probably more, the United States
submarine F-4 lies helpless, with her
commander and at least 1s men in what
is feared to be one Of the worst boat dis
asters in the worlds naval history.
More than "a hours Of every effort
known to naval practice to raise the SUD
marine boat or get a signal from her
crew has failed Her marker buoy, which
should come to the top to mark her rest
ing place in such an emergency, has failed
to appear and the surface Of the water
at 30 fathoms is covered with film OF
oil from the boats tanks.
The navy department officials fear one
of two calamities, either that the subma-
rine struck rock and the crew was
drowned by the inrushing waters or that
there was an internal explosion. While
the hope for the men is not given up,
the greatest fears are entertained that
they may have been lost in the first sub
marine disaster Of the United States
navy.
On the face of meagre official reports
from the Honolulu naval station, the ma
val officers fear the boat may have
slipped over the ledge on the volcanic
rock bottom of the harbor, into some
deep pocket, out of reach of help.
The F-4 was fitted with the latest ina
proved air locks in the coming tower,
enabling the men to escape and rise to
the surface if not deeper than in 80 fatn-
oms of water The fact that none has
appeared leads to the belief that the
boat lies much deeper.

usual that the F4 should remain under

apprehension began TO be felt. This In.
creased as the afternoon wore on and
the submarines began their search. The
