union emblems and shop carGs are
displayed and distribute them among

do not know to what extent this rec
concentration has been carried out but
to my mind it is essential that this
be done as it shows the merchant that
we are consistent and no doubt would
encourage him to carry a larger line
of union goods and thereby putting
within easy reach OF every customer
goods made by union men and women,
not under sweatshop or prison condi-
IONS. lnsistence upon the union label
Is an economical E.ey to achieve raanS
or the purposes of trade unionism
May not urge you. yes, appeal to ell
you delegates to inaugurate a more
active campaign for organization and
for union labeled products? 1 trust
each one of you will go forth from
this convention to see that in your
own, locality an agitation is brought
about for a more universal use of that
emblem of unfonism
Conclusion
The past year has been one of ire
mendous stress. Many problems and
difficulties have been met. It is with
a feeling Of qualification that I can
report on closing that our federation
has grown In numbers and as it grows
In numbers it grows in lower and this
power must be jealousy guarded and
guided to serve the toi1ers who make
its power possible. My only regret is
that not all the organizations in this
state are affiliated with our state
branch I trust that your officers for
the coming year will be successful in
bringing under the banner of the Con-
nectfcut Federation of Labor every la
Dor union that lie entitled to affilia-
ton. In closing, my friends, let me
say that appreciate the courtesy and
cooperation that have received
from the trade unionists from all
parts of the state during my four
years of service as your President. I
fail to find words to express my feel
ing of gratitude for the hearty sup
port accorded me.
L cannot let this opportunity go by
without thanking my colleagues of the
Executive Council, VIII % by their in
d1vidual and united efforts counse1ed
and assisted me in e> cry, way possible.
May your good judgment guide you
in the selection of your officers for
the ensuing year. To my successor in
office, I say it is a high honor, worthy
of your best efforts
My closing wish is success to the
Trade Union movement
Respectfully and fraternaIIy sub
United,
JULIUS c. sTREMLAU,
President

Grand Duke Michael
TO Be Exiled Abroad

Petrograd, Sept. S.-The uewspa-
pers report that the government has
decided to release and exile abroad,
as a result of the recent exposure of
a counter revolutionary plot, Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, Grand
Duke Paul, Nine Virubova, conf1dant
of fermer Empress Alexandra, who
lately was released from the Peotr-
pavlovsk fortress; former Minister of
the Interior Khvostov, and the former
palace commandment, Gen. Voyetkof.
Former Premier Sturmer's secretary

was sent abroad yesterday.
It develops that the arrest Of Nine.

one of the chief conspirators in the
plot, was effected when she was

l. W. W. SOUGHT
TO HAMPER U. S.
IN WAR MOVES
Documents Seized by Gov
eminent Show Nation
wide Conspiracy.

Washington, Sept 8.-Reports and
disclosures made to officials here in
connection with the seizure on We'd
nesday of Industrial Workers of the.
World documents through the coun-
try indicate, it was said today, that
there has existed for some time a
nationwide conspiracy to hamper the
government in almost every conceiy-
able way in carrying on the war.
Opposition to the draft law. burn
ing of crops, some OF the so-called
labor disturbances and attempts to
curtan production in war industries,
reports indicate, were all part of the
same alleged conspiracy whose prime
motive was thought to be the Grip
pling of the governments activities in
every way possible short of interfer-
ence with military and naval opera
tions.

MINISTER'S WAR.

There has been some discussion as
to whether ministers should be draft
ed for the army or not. Howeer, the
theological schools are sail already
to be much depleted on account of the
many students who have either enlist
ed or have entered army Y. M. C. A.
work.
One great difficulty encountered by
ministers in their ordinary work is in
getting close to men. They often
complain that if they APPROACH agroup
of men who are talking and laughing,
all this fun stops. This may not be
because the men were saying, anything
they did not want the ministers to
hear. But there should necessarily
be a, certain seriousness and spiritual
ity in the clergyman's character that
does repel a god many men who do
not take life seriously.
The way for ministers to dissipate
that feeling, in so far as it can be
done away, is to mingle with men ali
they can. The war really gives them
a great opportunity. The young
theologue who enlists, or who goes
into Y. M. c. A. camp work, will have
a great experience. He will forever
afterward be able to meet men on the
common plane, he will have a richer
experience, will come closer to the
struggles of the human beast, and all
this will add vitality and color to his
preaching.
If there is shortage of ministers
owing to the war, the church should
combine or arrange to have one man
ill two pulpits.
1t may of course be said that a man
who has spent his life in spiritual and
intellectual study and meditation, could
not be expected to make as good a
fighter as others. Yet the war rec
ords show many fighting parsons.
They would do a lot of good in the
army by keeping up the hope and
spirits of the men, and would be a
great asset in any force. It would
hardly seem as if they should be ex-
empted, except such as feel themselves
thoroughly unfit and should ask for
1T. Few Of them would do that.

in spite of large eliminations of graz

counted for by improved methods of
