Julius c. Stremlau of Meriden was reelected president of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor at the clos ing session of the annual convention in Hartford. on Friday. Other off, cers elected were as follows:
 Vice presidents. George Mordeci New Haven; Frederick Neebe, Meri- den: William Fitzgerald. Norwich; M. J. KerWin, New Britain; R. F. O'Mea- "a, New Haven; secretary treasurer R. P. Cunningham, Danbury; state organizer, Ira Ornborn, New Haven; delegate to the American Federation of labor President Stremlau. Dan- bury was chosen for the next conven- tion.
 Despite the fact that the four dele gates from the Bridgeport machinists fought hard for a further reduction in the per capita tax on the ground that their large organization of thousands of members was heavily taxe dat pres ent, the federation almost unanimously voted to accept the recommendation of the constitution committee that the fee for the members be reduced from cents per capita per quarter to ] cents per capital. Julius C. Stremlau, president of the federation, in his re- port had recommended that the tax be reduced to 3 cents per capita per quarter.
 It was voted to have an organizer appointed for the state for one year on condition that the executive com Inittee of the state federation have power to recall him if, in it's judgment he was not doing the work as well as he should. It was alos decided to add two new members to the executive committee, the fourth and fifth vice presidents, making g total of eight on the committee, all officers of the state organization.

 PooLRooM BASEMENT.
Fire Companies Called Out by Tele- . phone Late Friday Night. i

At 11.30 o'clock Friday night the auto-purnper and the Main street auto chemical responded to a. telephone call for a small sized blaze in the base ment beneath the Imperial poolroom on Main street. The fire. was confined to a pile of rubbish and was extinguished with two tanks of chemical. It is thought a cigarette was the cause of the fire.
 About noon Friday C. J. King of 24 Elm street telephoned thetfiremen at the Central station that there was a fire in the tenement block on Elm street owned by Herman Mueller. He found the house filled with smoke. The auto bumper responded at once and on the way Chief Stanton, to be onsihe safe side, pulled in box 23. This called out several other companies.
