More than 175,OO0 people in Japan abandoned agricultural pursuits to work in new and enlarged factories during the war.
 Tie union coal miners Of Arkansas won a 15-year fight against the Oper- ators when the Arkansas legislature, which closed recently, passed in origi- nal form and without the slightest change a bill providing for wash houses at all coal mines in the state employing ten or more men.

publican form of government to the bureaucratic form, to which it is opposed. If we continue our present form of government it seems to us but reasonable that those who are responsible as members of the cabinet should have the right to surround them selves by those of their own selec- tion.
 Nothing would create a more impossible condition than the election of truly progressive rep resentatives and then to find that the members of the Cabinet of that government did not have it III their power to choose their own immediate assistants and repre- sentatives. Bear in mind that the adoption of this resolut on would approve the establishment of a bureaucratic form of government. such a form of government as would make 1t absolutely impos- sible for a Cabinet to function successfully-''
 So 1t will be seen that while MT. Heating does belong to a la Dor organization it Is one which, according to the findings of the A:-F. of l.. convention, attempts to make the jobs of its members permanent through the establish ment of bureaucratic government which, by the way, sounds something like the Keating policy.
 As a result of the meeting held Sunday by labor representatives and by reason of the Trades Council previous action on the matter, an appeal is made to every member of organized labor and labor s friends who are reg istered democrats, to attend the primaries of their wards today, TUESDAY, between 4 and 8 D. m. and vote for Thomas Cahill as nominee for general registrar.
 In reviewing the situation Pres ident Ornburn of the Trades Council said, last evening:
 "In accordance with the slogan of the trade union movement, Defeat our enemies and support our friends every member of or ganized labor in New Haven who is @ registered democrat should make it his duty to be at the pri- maries and help to elect Thomas Cahill general registrar.
 The defeat of Heating will be a vindication for organized labor which he has always consistently and vigorously opposed and will, at the same time, be a blow to autocratic party management which ignores the rights of the individual and ultimately ruins the party.''

KEATTNG'S MEN ATTACK O'MEARA AND ORNRURN.

The New Haven Union in last evenings issue carried a display story with the above heading, telling of the action of Federal Employees Union, Local 1O3, Keating's organization, in pass ing resolutions denouncing the New Haven Trades Council be- cause of it's opposition to Heating.
 The resolutions in question re- fer to the action of the Trades Council in characterizing Keat- ing as unfair to organized labor and protest against such action. The organization also calls upon President Gompers of the Amer ican Federation of Labor to in- vestigate>> charges of unfair pro- cedure on the part of the Trades Council.
 The action of the Federal Elm ployees' Union is but another in dication of the wild alarm created in the Heating ranks by the vigor- ous opposition to his candidacy by organized labor in New Haven and the solid stand evinced by the New Haven Trades Council and all it's allied locals is evident ly striking terror into the hearts of the Heating contingent.
 The Federal Employees Union, which is composed largely of political appointees> is not affili- ated with the labor movement of New Haven as represented by the New Haven Trades Council.

DIDN'T GIVE A
 FOR THE TRADES
COUNCIL.

Keating's attitude toward the Trades Council when his assist ance was asked in nominating a legislative candidate favorable to measures favored by that body was also discussed at Sunday s meeting.
 This matter was recently re- ported to the Trades Council at one of it's regular meetings by President Ornburn, as reported in The Connecticut Labor Press at the time.
 President Ornhnrn related to the Council his experiences with Heating when he went to see him as a representative of the Trades Council concerning the nomina- tion of man who would be apt to support beneficial legislation in the General Assembly.
 The Trades Council, in accord with other labor organizations all over the state, was very much in terested in securing an amend ment to the workmen s compen- sation act, the repeal of the boy colt and intimidation law, a 48- hour week for women and chil- dren in factories and many other progressive measures.
 Realizing that the only hope lay in the nomination and cleo tion of candidates who would give labor a square deal in this direc- tion effort was made to secure the nomination of such men in all the cities of the state.
 Therefore, just previous to the nominations, President Ornburn visited MT. Heating, at the sug- gestion of Mayor FitzGerald to whom he had first applied, to ask for the appointment of one can- didate for representative on the democratic ticket in New Haven who would be acceptable to or ganized labor in the city.
 As MT. Ornburn relates the in cident Heating first demanded to know if he, MT. Ornburn, was a democrat and upon being inform

BUREAU LOCATES 5000 'MISSING'
 SERVICE MEN
f7swers Weekly Average ei 5000 Letters From ReIa- tives Seeking Information
 About Fighting Men.

Tracing American fighting men whe have been falsely reported as killed or missing, putting soldiers and sailors in touch with their anxious relatives at home and keeping track of tho movement of troops from the time they embarked in France until they are mustered out in camps in the Unit ed States-these are some of the ac-' tivities that are being carried on by the Bureau of Communications of the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross.
 The bureau handles as many as 5000 letters each week. The work in- cludes communication with members of the American Expeditionary Forcea and replies and inquiries from rela. tives and friends who wish to be in- formed about the arrival of soldiers in American ports.
 The bureau keeps in constant touch with the authorities at the ports of debarkation, and through this contact and by means of reports received daily from the War Department 1t Is able to provide prompt and accurate infor- nation concerning the embarking of American forces overseas and their arrival in America. Much of the work is done by telegraph, as many as 250 telegrams having been handled daily by the bureau up until the signing of the armistice. While the Atlantic Division, which includes the most inn portant port of debarkation, is natural ly the busiest of the fourteen DiVi- sions of the Red Cross in America
 Helps Find Missing.
 The Atlantic Division Bureau has helped trace the whereabouts of three thousand American fighting men, who had been thought dead or missing by their relatives, by reason of erroneous information received either through published lists or through, messages sent by friends.
 For some weeks the so-called well fare inquiries about men about whom no casualties were reported have been referred on special blanks to the Adjutant Generals office, to be for warded to France by courier and to be answered directly by the war depart ment Thus the bureau has been re- lieved of a large volume of such re- quests, which frequently totalIed 10000 a week. But the replies to such inquiries originally sent from the bureau are still coming back from France by the thousands and must be sent to the families in SO many per sonal letters.
 Every day come hundreds of pleas tor details of deaths which are in- creasingly difficult to ascertain In March there were S0,000 American soldiers in hospitals overseas. Of &lese 15,OOO were still suffering from Wounds received in action, and the condition of many had to be reported.
 Nor does the responsibility of the bureau cease when the doughboy re- turns. It undertakes to answer ques- tions about returned units and priority sailings. It maintains card fle Of all returned wounded, with record of all transfers from hospital to hospital

 The exact reception accorded to the committee was not recalled Sunday but there was general impression that his attitude was sl.ltry and, in any event, the com mittee, it was reported, got no satisfaction.

General Registrar-Jailer Ed ward P. Heating goes to the pri- maries today handicapped in his race against Thomas Cahill for the office of democratic registrar by an opposition from organized labor which has seldom, if ever be- fore, confronted political can didate.
 The trade unionists of New Haven have been manifesting a most lively antagonism to his re election ever since the campaign began, continuing from the cam paign preceding the last election and Sunday afternoon at meet ing of labor representatives held in Trades Council hall Heating $ attitude toward organized labor past and present, was reviewed most comprehenslvely.
 The result was to kindle afresh tKe determination that Heating should not be reelected if unceas. ing opposition from labor would aid in bringing about his defeat
 THE DEGENERATION OF
 STANLEY, A UNION MAN.
 The matter to first receive the attention of the meeting in ques- tion and one which was largely responsible for the calling of the gathering was the summary firing of John B. Shan4ey, a member o1 Plumbers and Steam Filters Union, Nc. 34o. from the dem ocratic town committee.
 Of all the high handed proce dures which have marked the political course of Heating this achievement stands wildly fortE as one of the most characteristic MT. Shanley, who lives at 24e Hamilton street, is guilty of two grave offenses. He is @ Cahil supporter and union man.
 Shanley, according to the re ports published in the morning newspaper, was present at the open meeting of the democratic town committee Saturday nigh and took part in it's deliberations but directly afterward I'll cyocu tive session he was informed by Thomas J. Reyes, acting chair man, that he had been fired for disloyalty
 He was informed, it is further stated, that upon last election day he was absent from his place a the polls from II o'clock in the morning until 4 o clock in the aft ernoon. This was given as tht reason for his summary removal MT. Shanley was absent iron the polls during the time men toned because of the death of nj:

 for the New Haven Trades Council. They never did me any good and they cant do me any harm"
 As result of the genial gen eral registrars determined atti- tude toward organized labor the New Haven Trades Council was completely ignored in the nom- ination of candidates for mem bers of the General Assembly.
 In Hartford a similar request was complied with by both the democratic and republican par ties and the labor candidate for representative on the democratic ticket was elected by the largest majority ever boiled by any can didate for that office on the dem ocratic ticket.
 KEATING's UNION CARD.
 Much has been said, from the Heating camp, concerning Keat- ing's membership in a labor union. He is a member of the National Federation of Federal Employees, composed chiefly of holders of political office and he became eligible to membership in that organization when he re- ceived an appointment to job in the internal revenue department by Collector Walsh last year.
 This is the organization that introduced a resolution It the list convention of the American Fed eration of Labor providing that the civil service should be ex- tended to present political ap- pointees guaranteeing perman- ent tenure to the class of appoin- tees winch constitute it's member ship.
 The resolution was rocOmmit- ted to the committee after being unfavorably reported and, after a hearing given to its supporters, it's was again unfavorably report ed and withdrawn.
 Secretary Frey in reporting for the committee said:
 "Your committee is of the opin- ion that the adoption of such a law would transfer our govern ment from the representative re-

child. He placed a substitute in his place before he went and re- turned himself at 4 o'clock. That happened a year ago. His dis missal came only Saturday night.
 MT. Shanley's friends are naturally highly indignant over the action of the committee. which, it is pointed out, was i'll direct contradiction to the rules of the committee which require 8 two-thirds vote for such dis missal.
 At the meeting of the labor committee the expressions which were made upon the matter man. ifested the intensity of the feel ing the action has aroused and in labor circles generally it is felt that the real cause for Shanley's dismissal is to be found in his membership in a labor union and his opposition to Keating"s re- election.
 That the summary discharge of a member under these conditions will react as a boomerang for Heating and result in no small amount of censure for the town committee appears to be evident HEATING Vs. BARTENDERs' UNION.
 Another matter which was dis cussed at Sundays meeting was the charge previously made against Keating to the effect that he had threatened to withdraw his membership from the New Haven Wine and Liquor Dealers Association if that body recog- nized the Bartenders' union
 This has been denied by Keat- ing but 1t has been constantly reiterated and MT. Cahill, who was the chairman of the commit tee appointed by the Wine and Liquor Dealers Association to confer with the representatives of the Bartenders' union. is em- phatic in his statement that Keat- ing did make such a threat to him.
 Heating said, according to Cahill, that if the association recognized the Bartenders union he would withdraw his mcnbnr- ship, give each of his bartenders shore in his business and have them pull out of the union He would not have his business die tated by any labor organization.
