UNITED WORKMEN SEEK 10 BETTER
 ORGANIZATION

The new Extension Department has attracted wide attention. The activi- ties that have been noted in certain parts of the State have started the membership along the lines of right thinking and many lodges are ar ranging meetings and inviting the superintendent of extension to be present and assist them in bringing their lodge to that degree of efIici- ency which was noticeable a number of years ago.
 A meeting of great importance to the order will be held at Odd Eel lows Hall, 95 Crown street, Ne-r Ha- ven, on the evening of September s. Past Supreme Master Workman Ed. E. Hohmann of Johnstown, Pa. and Supreme Foreman John R. Frazer of Little Rock, Ark. will be the prin- cipal speakers. Brother Frazer's well known eIoquence and his loyalty to the principals we profess will fill ev- cry member with an intense desire to hear him and draw inspiration from his words.
 Brother Frazer comes from a wide awake and prosperous jurisdiction. He will tell of the grand work accom- plished in his jurisdiction and those who hear him will take on new cour- age and resolve that our jurisdiction must no tlonger lag behind but take it's place among the leaders.
 Brother Hohmann needs no intro duction to the Connecticut member ship as he has been here several times.

POST OFFICE
 CLERKS DECIDE
 AGAINST UNION

Atlantic City, Sept. 5.-Taking the stand that better results could be ob- tained by keeping their organization free from all outside influences. deie- gates 10 the convention of the Nation al Association of Post Ofice Clerks here have rejected propositions look ing 10 affiliatiOn with the American Federation of Labor. Resolutions were adopted after considerable de- bate expressing the conviction that unionism should be barred from the postal organization.
 The fact that but two postal bodies have joined trade unions despite pres sure brought 10 bear on the men in their home towns was taken as an in dication that the majority of the em- DIoves throughout the service are de- termined that recognition of their de- mands will come soon if they appeal to Congress as employees rather than as labor unions.
 The convention, in response to an inquiry from Representative Henry GoIdfOgle of New York. who is the sponsor for bill that would give the clerks an increase in their salaries of B per cent. went on record as de- claring they would not accept a tenn porarv increase of S150 d year, as planned by some of the leaders of the House.

I do not think one of them could adapt one of their own plays for screen purposes with out some initial study. This is not casting any slur at the writers Of p4ays; I am simply insisting that writing spoken dramas and screen plays are arts ald professions aparf and that they are entirely dissinlilar. and each needs it's own special train ing.

Queer Turn of Fate's Wheel.

An announcement on the cables
from Paris a few days ago showed
queer turn in the wheel of fate. 1t
said that James Hazen Hyde had been
made an assistant to Harvey d. Glib
son, with the American Red Cross in
Paris. Only few years ago Mr.. Hyde
was an outstanding figure in American
finance, and Mr. Gibson at the same
time was an express clerk earning less
than $50 a month. Mr.. Hyde was the
son of the founder of the Equitable
Life and inherited his fathers vast
wealth. He was a striking figure for
n time. Then came the Hughes in
vcstigation of the insurance business
and Mr.. Hyde fled to Paris, where he
became an ornament of the boulevard
cafes. Mr. Gibson in the meanwhile
had gone steadily upward. became
very wealthy. and because of his bust
ness ability was selected by Henry p
Dawson to become general manager OF
the American Red Cross. 1t is said
that Mr. Hyde is no longer the socia
butterfly he became after landing In
Paris, and may again rise TO grea
heights.
