Employees, the meeting being brought
about by a desire Of The members OF
the two organizations TO amalgamste
into one strong organization, which
would stand for the protection and the
best interests OF the employees through
out the United States and Canada.
The members OF these two organi-
cations had for some time felt that the
constitution and bylaws which they
had been working under did not meet
the requirements nor their needs Prior
to the convention a committee of five
was appointed TO represent the Broth
erhood OF American Railway Express
Employees, and a committee OF four was
sent from the national organization 20
represent them.
One OF the most important questions
which was decided at the convention
was the selection OF delegation TO go
before the wage board at Washington
and make an appeal from the decision
Of that board which was handed down
in April and which taken as a whole
throughout the ranks Of the employees
was entirely unsatisfactory. While the
'eSioioh save tie Hltu dn eight

cations and did not grant them the
back pay for the extra hour they had
worked in the past year, and for which
they had been accustomed to receiving
thelr vacations Their decision. as
granted, gave the employe a s25 Gat in
crease, based on the salaries OF their

instances the majority OF the employees
throughout the country feel that they

"Charlie' Cioff, Labor Press
Cartoonist, Arrives Just
in Time.

Charles A. Ciofi, New Haven's fam
Gus artist, cartoonist and member OF
BARRIERS Local 215, is again among those
present in the Elm City, much to the
qualification of host of warm personal
friends who, if listed, would read like
an unabridged edition of the city direc-
torV.
Brother Ciofi several months ago got
a touch of the wanderlust, super1nduced
by artistic instinct and accepted a
position with J. Haynes Company of
Perth Amboy, N. J., as illustrator in
outdoor advertising. After covering a
good part of New Jerseys landscape
with artistic decoration he listened to a
call from Massachusetts, and added
materially to the artistic appearance OF
that commonwealth through the medium
of outdoor advertising placed by the
kinball System.
Simultaneous with the opening of
Savin Rock, however, and the near ap-
proach of the Connecticut Federation
of Labor's convention, longing for the
old home town seized "Charlie" and
casting palette and brush to the four
winds of Massachusetts, he hastily head
ed for the Elm City.
His arrival is timely. AS official car
teeIifst of The Connecticut Labor Press
his presence is indispensable to the
proper recording of that event by this
6aper and without his illustrations there
would be no use trying to hold the con
vention anyway Upon being notified
of his return the Executive Council
voted to proceed with. the convention
therefore, and it will be held as origin
a1lv planned.

wv ALIEN BILL BARS BOLSHEVISTS,
PROVIDES FOR DEPORTATION OF L.W.W
Legislation Congress Approved by the Labor Depart

Washington, May 23.-Legislation for
further restriction of immigration,
stamping out the menace of Bolshevism
and deporting the !. w. w. has been
prepared by Representative Johnson of
Washington and it has been approved
by the authorities of the Labor depart
ment.
All aliens within the United States
when the act takes effect must register
within the year succeeding the date on
which the law begins operation and must
renew this registration annually. Ger
tihcates will be issued upon registration
and these must be renewed by January
of each succeeding year for four years
or until aliens are naturalized.
Aliens in the United States in viola
ton of this act, other immigration acts
or of the terms of existing treaties will
not be allowed to register.

\ sliding scale of fees for registering
and for renewing registration is pro-
vided, decreasing gradually for Dro6c-
iency the part of the alien in reading
and writing English, knowledge of
American history and understanding of
the American form of government.
Tourists and transient aliens are not
required to pay this fee.
The section of the measure aimed at
the Bolsheviki, the I. w. w. and other
similar radicals who are to be excluded
or deported, follows:
Cali aliens who practice, advocate,
teach, sanction or encourage the extor-
Etion of money or property, or the aveng-

who are members of or affiliated with
any organization that so practices, ad-

who may again seek admission within

CHINESE WORKED
AS CIGARMAKERS
Origin of the Union Label in 1874
It Was First White, Then
Red and Finally Blue.

The union label, or union stamp, is
strictly American in its origin. 1t was
born IN the city of San Francisco, Cal,
in the year 1874, and to the cigarmakers
belongs the credit for first having used
the label successfully
During a sand-lot agitation for Chi
neSe exclusion in San Francisco, a
manufacturer of cigars attempted to en-
ploy Chinese labor. The trades union
lists waged a determined and intelligent
resistance, and assured of public patron
age the question arose as to how the
consumer might discriminate between
the union-made cigar and the rat
shop" filthy made coo1ie product.
At first a white label was used, placed
upon all boxes of cigars made by white
men, signifying that those boxes of
cigars bearing the white label were made
by white men as against the yellow of
the Orient
In the following year, during a strike
of cigarmakers in St. Louis, label was
printed in red ink, and at their next
convention, held in Chicago in the year
1880, the red and whites became en-
broiled in a controver as to whether
they should adop8 the s4Aite label or the
red Label as their universal label, when,
as the story goes, one of their ready
Let's take the other color of the flag
and adopt blue label" And that's the
way the blue label of the cigarmakers
was given birth.
Other organizations noticing the sue
cess of the cigarmakers, set about adopt
ing a label of their craft, and in the
year 1885 the hatters' label appeared,
the following year the garment workers,
in 1891 the hcrseshoers', shoer1akers',
and iron moulders' label appeared, and
so on down the line until now practi-
cal1y every organization working at a
manufacturing craft has adopted label
of its craft.
Don't be just card man; be a real
union man by demanding the union label
on goods that you purchase; demand
the union label the union card and the
union button wherever it can be pro-
cured.

new LONDON HAS
BARRIERS STRIKE
Demand That Wages Be Increased
and Shops Charge 20 Gents for
Shave, Four Bits for Haircut.

New London, May 23.-New London
is in the throes of BARRIERS strike. The
union demands increased wages for its
members and insists that the bosses
charge 20 cents for shave and so cents
for a hair cut Only two shops of con-
sequence are open and each is located in
a hotel, the Mohican and the Crocker
House. The employing bosses in these
shops acceded to the demands of the
union The journeymen at these shops
returned to work while the union men
in all the other shops are on strike.
P. H. Ryan, president of the Master
BARRIERS Association, is quoted as say
ing that the bosses will not give in while
officials of the union are equally deter
mined.
According to the custom IN this state,
the prices in each town are fixed by the
local unions. Bridgeport some time ago
charged Is cents for a shave but this
sum was reduced to 20 cents recently,
which was the price in vogue about the
time that the cost of living was lacked
up. New Haven charges 20 cents for a
shave and IS cents for hair cut. Some
small towns that do not have locals of
their own are under the jurisdiction of
unions in the nearest large city. Thus,
the shops in Wallingford are under the
jurisdiction of Meriden union. Accord
ing to an official of the state organiza-
ton, the cheapest shave to be had now
costs IS cents and this price prevails in
some small towns and in few nom
union shops in the large cities.
Jeff Doherty, the professional boxer
who recently died in a hospital in New
Haven, was we'll known here, and once
he told a story that illustrates the dis
repute attached to patronizing low
grade barber shop. Joe Jeanette, the
co1ored heavyweight, was matched to
fight in New Haven and the manage
ment got Andy Morris, a Boston heavy,
to go up against him. Morris had about
one chance in 1000 but in order to
have him make presentable appear
ance when he entered the ring Jeff
Doherty was engaged to see that he
did some quick training so as to make
a showing. Doherty did not know much
about Morris so when he went out on
the street with him to talk about doing
little road work, Morris asked him
At that time the maj ority of barber
shops all over the state charged IS cents
for shave and when Morris asked for
1Gcent operation Doherty put him
down for dub. Doherty told him to
never go into any 10-ceht place and if
he did go to keep the news to himself
as if the news got out that he patronized
10-cent shop all the sports would
know that he was a .fourth-rater for
no good pugilist or athlete would ever
be seen in bum barber shop. It seems
that jeff sized Morris up all right for
when he got into the ring with Jeannette
the colored man toyed with him and
landed when and where he pleased.

HAYES QUITS SOCIALISTS.
Resignation of Editor of Cleve
land Citizen.

Cleveland, May 23.-Max Hayes rep
resentative of the International Typo
graphical Union, seditor of the Cleve-
land Citizen, and well known IN Social
ist circles throughout the state, has
stenderedT his resignation to that party,
the result of the May-Day demonstra-
ton in Cleveland. r. In, the last issue of
The Citizen, Mr.. Hayes justifes his
action in. the following EDITORIAL
"If Socialist leaders are wild enough
to imagine that Lenine and Liebknecht
tactics will be adopted by the masses
of American workers, they are more
stupid than we judged. Henceforth, in
dustria1ly, they are nobody, and have no
organization behind them and couldn't
call strike or conduct one for week.
1.-TWO years ago. Rutherberg polled
around $4,000 votes for mayor. and
would have stood a splendid chance to
win this year had not he and his fol-
lowers gone anarchistic. Now the party
in Cleveland and throughout the country
is in an uproar; its thousands of sym
pathizers everywhere are becoming dis
couraged and disguised, and it is doubt
full whether the movement in its present
form can be held together"
