Long before this country entered the conflict every chapter in the national organization undertook relief work of one sort or another and individually and as chapters the mem bers continued their work as long as there was any need for it.
 Connecticut's record is one special 1y noteworthy. Of the women work erss overseas, thes state cha pter had 13 representatives. The figures from April 6, 1917, to the close of the war are most interesting. They include 1882 knitted garments, 1574 comfort bags, 516- housewives, 50 barra cks bags 195 scrap books, 92 games, 260 paper vests 147 picture puzzles, 45- smiIeage books, 3,170 glasses of jelly, S10 for to- bacco, So for candy, 55 Christmas boxes, 163 Christmas packets. 1 plan ola, victrolas, 120 records, $S75 for a Christmas celebration. $309 for hous- es and rooms $650 for mess fund, cellaneous gifts, amounting in value to several thousand dollars, and over s150000 to the various organizations doing war relief work, while the num- ber of garments and supplies made for the Red Cross is nearly 175,000

MEN HAVEN'T BEGUN
 TO FIGHT VET


 Tn commenting on the strike situa- ton last evening MT. Rooney said: They have asked us to surrender Why, we haven't begun to fight yet" Mir. Rooney authorized the following statement Wednesday night: . We are greatly pleased with the situation tonight
 We see where MT. Perkins takes ad- vantage of men who served his com ps-~ faithfully for years, men who have gained the respect of the public and who have worked for him in semi official positions cuch as starters. in spectors and despatchers. These men were called to his office and told that they had to report at New London at 4 o'clock for the purpose of hearing the plans as to the operation of cars in New London. They were told that they should go to New London and must operate cars or sever their con- nections with the company They were expected to leave their homes and families to do the bidding of MT Perkins. We are able to report that the Ren they have ready to. operate cars are six men, three of whom are officials, one sub- station man and two are recent recruits.
 On last Friday because the linemen in the employ of the company dared to present a request for increased wages and better working conditions at 1 o'clock they were laid off at o. clock. Because of work that was or QeTeQ to De 0One Dy DOI1Ce duIHofE- ties a few men were called back to work: the others were locked out. These few men who returned to work when they found that their fellow workers were so shamefully treated they immediately joined their fellow workers.
 Mfr. Perkins, the men feel that be- calse of your insistance upon your SO called fair methods of arbitration that you must have some under lying motive. Would they be right in assuming that in the event of the third man being chosen by the governor that you might use the same subteranean passages that you may have used in trying to bring about a special session of legislature. Are they also right in assuming that you object to the n aming of the third man by Taft and Manly of the war labor board because the same subter ranean passages have not been dug quite as far as San Diego, Cal. or some point in Quebec. the last two places that I read of as being visited by Taft and Manly? Why your silence on your own proposition? :? In answering this. if you do. please do not resort to figures but present your answer in plain facts.
