COAL MINERS ARE
 BACK ON THE JOB
Reports From Various Sections Show Rapid Resump-
 tion of Production.

Dispatches received from the press associations give indications that coal miners are returning to work in con- stantly increasing numbers. A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind, states that practically 50 per cent. of the normal amount of coal produced daily in In- diana was hoisted from the mines yes- terday and mining at full speed is ex- pected by Monday.
 Reports from outside Indiana, while telling of the return of many miners were not so optimistic as those from the fields in the state Illinois miners, it was reported, are slow in returning to work in many instances and few locals in Pennsylvania reported to United Mine Workers headquarters that some mine owners had refused to operate their properties unless the miners repudiated the union.
 It was believed that reports such as those received in Pennsylvania would be the subject of federal investigation. Miners officials pointed out that the agreement reached between the govern ment and the miners provided for re- turn to work under the same conditions as those existing on October 31 and de- c1ared that the union was recognized by the operators at that time.
 Mine operators and wholesalers in Indiana today generally increased the price of contract coal IA per cent.

.NEEBE MAKING
 STRONG FIGHT
Labor Man Candidate for Meri- den Mayor Holds Con- ference.

Meriden, Dec. 12.-Frederick l. Neebe candidate for mayor of Meridern on the American Liberty Party ticket, held consultation with political and labor leaders, this evening, at which the campaign was thoroughly discussed and plans completed for whirlwind finish which, it is confidently predicted, will land the ex-senator in the mayors chair with handsome majority over all contestants.
 Ex-Senator Neebe will, it is conf- dent1y predicted by his friends who are in a position to know the pub1ic's atti- tide, poll strong vote from the work ing people of the city, not only because he is prominent labor man who has done much for the working classes in the state legislature and elsewhere but because of the policies for which he stands. These are based upon square deal for the wage earner and the aver age citizen, rather than exclusively for the big fellow and those who know Candidate Neebe know that nothing will be left undone to benefit the people and the city if he is elected.

WILLIAM J. DUNN. Son of Prominent New Haven Labor Man Dies.

Since the last issue of The Connecti- cut Labor Press, the paper has been advised of the death of William J. Dunn, who is the son of one of the oldest trade union mdmbers in this city, namely John A. Dunn, delegate from the Iron Holders Union to the New Haven Trades Council.
 This paper has always tried and has succeeded in bringing before it's readers very good articles along the line of athletics, and in this case of the son of Brother John A. Dunn. He was one of the coming athletes of this age. He was an active member of the Lenox Athletic Club in the Twelfth ward sec ton of the city, and in participating in the football game between the Walnut Club and his own on November 9th he played a very hard game, and shortly after it's termination he contracted a severe cold which later developed into pneumonia which took him from this life.
 This paper expresses to his parents the sympathy of the trade union move nent in this section in their great loss and hopes that William J. Dunn Is to- day enjoying the life everlasting that has been promised by the Creator of all mankind, that honor and obey the Divine law.

Faculty of Yale Giving Trade Union Kind of Organization
 Cold Shoulder.

The New Haven Journal-Courier says:
 There is very slim possibility of the American Federation of Labor gain ing much of foothold in the faculty of Yale university, the rank and file of the members giving it the cold should er A new union of college professors has been formed in New York, and suc- cessful unions are established at liar yard, University of Illinois, University of Montana and other educational in stitutions.
 Prof. C. M. Bakewell of Yale said yesterday: There is absolutely no need of college professors afiliating with the A. F. of L.. The men who are backing these unions are mostly socialists The Association of American University Professors fulflls practically all of the professors needs and investigates abuses of university life. With the ex- ception of bettering industrial relations generally, the association does all that the union proposes to do." .s-.

a donation that comes out of my own pocket
 Mr Brindell discussed statements issued by Waiter Drew, counsel for the Iron League Erectors Association, in which Mr. Drew asserted that his asso- eiatIon would oppose with all its might an attempt to bring the closed shODr into structural iron operations in this city.
 The members of the Iron League are also members of the Building Trades Employers Association" said Mr BrindelI We have been assured that all members of the latter body would fulfill the new agreement with the Building Trades Council, which calls for the employment of nothing but union men.
 When the question of the new agree ment was put up to the Iron League if could give nothing but what call petty larceny reason for not accepting It. They said, for instance, that their fore men would have to become union mem bers. We replied that this was only a question of dollars and cents and that we would pay the dues of the foremen. Then they said that their foremen would not be admitted to the union We promised them the foremen would be admitted without discrimination Incidentally, the claim of the Iron League that 1t has not diScrininated in the past against union men is false. Their foremen have in many cases re fused to hire men because they were known to be union members.
 The Iron League could have sub scribed to the new agreement with abso- lute assurance that 1t would be carried out. The Building Trades Council has already begun to function m maintain ing discipline Tn union circles.
 For instance, the FIeischmann firm was engaged in erecting a studio build ing in Long Island City. The plaster CTS local struck, and the council order ed teh men to return to work. When they refused to do so, the cement mas ons were ordered to do the work and they did it. Then the plasterers offered to pay a fine of $l00 if they would be re-admitted to the council, but the council refused to seat their delegates until the offending business agent was removed.
 'FThis is ooing to be our policy in every case We intend to maintain peace in the building trades, in way to encourage the construction of new buildings and thus relieve the housing situation"

DOVE Of PEACE ONCE
MORE RE|GNS At BUTTE

Helena, Mont. Feb. 2S.-Now that
the strike OF the Butte miners is a
thing OF the past, by the middle of
March II should be known whether
unemployment In Montana is TO as,
sumo an especially serious phase.
During the time OF the strike In
Butte there were many Idle men,
miners for the most part: smelter-
men or millmen in Anaconda and
Great Falls. and woodsmen and lum-
bermen thrown out OF employment
through the shutting down OF the
Butte mines and the partial reduc-
tion OF output OF the smelling plants
at Anaconda and Great Falls.
But with the resumption OF min
Ing at Butte. all these men. or
nearly all, are back at work and with
the exception OF the cities directly
affected by the Butte conditions no
cities or towns report alarming Idle
ness. Troops are returning rapidly
anu utS uWcbthb thp VI N'sN
unemployed. but the number OF idle
men will be the same, practically,
whether the former soldiers and
sailors take their former positions or
not, since the number OF women who
took soldiers work during their alb
sence is very small in the state.
The horizon is not altogether dark,
Everything indicates q tremendous
demand for farm labor. In answer to
the appeal to their patriotism the
farmers are to put In. II is said, the
greatest crops in the history OF the
commonwealth There are namer-
bus highway projects, all OF which
will call for men, and number OF
railway projects, abandoned because
of. the war, will. 1t Is hoped, be re-
F~newed.

ANARCHY TO REIGN
IF LEAGUE KILLED
senator Hitchcock Says i9tcrnation-
alism II Due-Must Choose he
tween War and Peace

Washington. Feb. 2S.--Interna-
tionalism has come, or IL coming,
aud the world must choose between
Il sane internatlonalism or an an
archistlc one. Senator Hitchcock,
chairman OF the senate foreign re-
latIons committee declared today In
speech TO the senate on the league
OF nations.
"Those who attack the league as
a form OF Internationaiism are too
late" said Hitchcock.
Humanity Will not tolerate wars
over questions that can be settled by
peaceful methods along the lines Of
justice and reason.
Men will not allow themselves to
be led forever to slaughter uselessly
and unnecessarily.
which shall II be-war and pre-
paration for war, or league or ma
tions? These are the alternatives.
Senators who criticize the league
OF nations end who magnify its dlf-
ference and dangers seem disposed
TO ignore the alternative.
What II we have no league OF
nations7 What II the peace to be
signed becomes like other peaees
that have been entered into-merely
a truce when each nation OF the
world proceeds to prepare itself for
the next war?
Before this war the United States
and the four great nations associated
with the United States were spend
ing s642.000.000 year on their
armies and 5000. 100000 year on
their navies.
''If no league OF nations is estab'
iished these permanent expenditures
win be enormously Increased. Each
will become more than over an
armed camp.
''If we fail to adopt an interna'
tionalism OF governments that unite
to end wars. we shall be face to face
with the internationalism of the in
dlvidual,
I'VE cannot deny the fact thai
France and Italy, one republic ant
the other a limited democracy are
under the control OF socialistic lead
ers and socialistic IDEAS"
