POLICE ROUND UP
 YOUNG BURGLARS
Two Youths Rob Store and Then
 Sleep There All Night

After keeping an all night vigil,, Sergeant George Kelly and Officer William McCue succeeded in rounding up Joseph Brown and Charles Landry, who pleaded guilty before lodge James T. Meskill in police court this morning to burglarizing Segal & Birnbaum's Main street store Tues day night. Probable cause was found and both young men were bound over to the March term of the su- Hartford County jail this afternoon in lieu of being able to furnish $7O0 bonds.
 The young burglars entered the store Tuesday night through a rear door. A safe, hidden from sight by an alcove, was broken open by them but their efforts gained them only l $1.1O. They had a set of tools con- s:stlng of an axe, a heavy screwdriver
 and strong pair of pliers. Brown i FreVlously worked at this store 1 ana doubtless gained his informa ion
 of the inside arrangements at that
 time.
 After Sergeant Bamforth secured
 sufficient evidence to warrant the ar-
 rest of the duo, Sergeant Kelly and l Officer McCue were sent out to get ] them. Neither could be found last
 right but at 1:15 o'clock this morn 1 ing Landry was found asleep at his 1 home at 120 Beaver street and was ] Uncerm oniously dragged from his bed 1 and taken to the police station 1 Brown could not be found, but the
 two officers remained on the alert and | at $50 o'clock this morning caught
 him walking down Beaver street. l Burglars Sleep Over Safe. showing the coolness and nerve of
 the young burglars, it developed that 1 after robbing the safe at the store l tuesday night the two youths espied 1 high shelf in the store on which
 mattresses were piled Climbing up
 there they slept soundly until 6:3O o'clock yesterday morning when thev made their getaway a short time be- fore the robbery was discovered 1 The record of young Brown is a
 bad one, although his pal is not so
 we'll known in police circles Brown
 has been arrested and sent to jail on 1 several occasions and theft has been 1 charged up to him previously. Several 1 months ago the court took pity on 1 him and gave him a chance to go ! straight. Others interestd in him se- 1 cured employment and he was given { every opportunity to live right He 1 soon fell back to his evil ways

NO ATTEMPTED ERAI-D

Because there was no evidence of intended fraud, Prosecutor Klett did not arraign Jacob Kanacofski in court on a charge of evading carfare. He was arrested at the depot last night by Officer William Strolls on com plaint of a conductor, who said he had refused to pay his fare from Berlin to this city It appeared from an explanation this morning that the accused did not understand the use of a railroad rebate slip.
 He got on the train at New Haven ard paid the conductor seventy-five cents, receiving the usual rebate check On the Berlin-New Britain train he rendered the conductor the rebate check. Pressed for a ticket he had none and refused to pay the nec- essary seventeen cents, claiming that the New Haven trainman has assured him that the rebate check was suf- ficient.
 He was given lesson in railroad ethics and sent on his way by the prosecutor.

APPRENTICE PLAN BLOCKED
Public Official Would Flood Aus
tralian Labor Market.
COURT INTERFERENCE COSTLY
UniOnist Declares Employers Them
selves Would Hardly Frame II
Decision So Injurious to Their
WOrkmen.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Union printers in this city are pro-
testing a decision by Justice Heyden,
Of the court Of industrial arbitration,
which will make impossible any system
intended to teach apprentices the COM
plete printers trade
A wages board, consisting of employ
ers and employees, sustained the unions
position that apprentices should not be
indenturcd solely to machine operating
for the reason that the boys would not
become competent craftsmen without in
struction in other departments. The en-
ployers appealed to Justice Heyden, who,
under the law, has power to set aside
the wages boards findings. The court
sustained the employers i'll decision
that President Stanbridge, of the Typo
graphical association, declares first cuts
up the industry and then floods it with
apprentices
Writing in local labor paper, the
unionist says
"If the intention of the arbitration
court were to kill industrial arbitration
altogether am of opinion it has adopted
the right policy. The court should not
allow itself to become an impenetrablc
bulwark behind which the employers can
securely shelter themselves. Yet that
seems to be the position in the judg-
ment just given regarding apprentices;
The employing printers of Sydney would
scarcely have framed decision so much
to their own liking and so much to the
detriment of both journeymen and ap-
prentices."
President Stanbriigc calls attention to
evidence submitted that the printing in
dustry has not absorbed the number OF
apprentices previously agreed to by botl,
parties, "and yet" he says, because
some employers desire to fill their Of
fees with low-paid and lowgrade labor
the number has been raised"
The printers insist that the decision
will flood the labor market, as operating
machine is quickly learned, compared
with other branches of the trade.

STEEL WORKERS WIN
In BUFFALO STRIKE

Buffalo, n. Y-Employes of the Sen
eca Iron and Steel Company at Blasdell
near here. have won their strike and
formed local affiliated to the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers. A. +. of l.. Organizer
Streiher assisted these workers, who
have raised wages from 10 to 1s per cent
over former rates. The victory is more
than ordinary because the Amalgamated
Association has been attempting to or
ganize this mill for several years. 1t is
believed present successes will have an
effect on steel workers employed in the
nonunion Lackawanna Steel Company,
at Lackawanna.
The agreement with the Seneca COM
pany provides for regular wage scale
and the creation of permanent arbitra
ton board to settle disputes. Employees
shall designate one of their number to
serve on the board. 1t is further agreed
that there shall be no cessation of work
during the deliberation of the arbitra-
ton board" and the company agrees
that there shall be no discrimination be-
cause of union affilation.

Why Not Make Free
Trip to Frisco Fair

The Labor Advocate has decided to
give its friends the opportunity to make
some of the most pleasurable trips to be
taken in this country, and at no expense

Would you like to make the trip to

Would you like to go to the meeting

position is in full swing; at the time
wher all the nations of the world will
have their exhibits fully completed, and
when the crowds will be at their largest
and the city of the Golden Gate in its
most gala attire.
The opportunity seldom has been Of
fered to the person of moderate means
to take such trip without cost to himself.
This trip means liberal education; it
means that you may see all the wonders

CHANCELLOR DAY BUTTS
INTO FREE SPEECH

San Francisco.-Under the caption,
Free Speech and Correct Opinions" "
the Evening Bulletin publishes this edi-
torial:
"One most valuable contribution to
the subject of free speech comes from
the pen of Chancellor Day, of Syracuse
University, who says: Convictions must
be more than honest; they must be cor
rect
This disposes of the whole difficulty
of free speech, whether it be free speech
for workingmen in company towns or
free speech for university professors.
First ascertain, through Chancellor Day
and other gentlemen who know what
truth is, what opinions are correct, and
then suppress those that are incorrect.
What comfort to end arguments by
bringing forth the official documents GER
tifying to ones intellectual correctness.
Political parties will disappear, since
only one set of opinions can be correct
Labor unions will be unnecessary, since
the correct industrial policy will be
found and followed The poor will no
longer envy the rich. since it will, no
doubt, be found that great wealth and
great want are both proper and cor
rect"
