 HARTFORD JANUARY 20
Vegetable Growers Will Also
 Meet at the Same Time

L. H. Healey, Secretary of the
 State Board of Agriculture, is send
 ing out premium list to the corn
 and potato growers of Connecticut,
 calling their attention to the fact that the State Corn Show will be held at the State Armory in Hart ford in connection with Farmers Week which begins January 20, 1919.
 There are five general classes that include flint, dent, early and late sweet corn and pop corn, in each of which class an exhibit of ten ears is required for entry. In these five classes there is total of eleven sub divisions including early corn and late corn, yellow corn and white corn, ears nine inches or less, and through the list of all the sizes and colors. In each of these eleven divi- sions there is a first, second and third prize of 80, $3 and $2 respec- lively. In addition to the premium list, MT. Healey is ready with entry cards and instructions regarding all the details of the show, when and how to ship the exhibit, the time to make ones selection and other help full suggestions for those who hope to win. It was further explained that in addition to the regular classes there would be a contest among the winners in the eight county corn shows.
 Colonel William H. Hall of Will ington in cooperation with the Con- necticut State Fairs Association, is offering a first, second, third and fourth prize of $50, $50, $25 and $2O respectively for the best half hushel of potatoes and similar prizes for the best ten-ear exhibit of field corn. Both these specials will be awarded in connection with the SEate Germ Show hat is being held It the supervision tf t.!e State Board of Agriculture.
 W. c. Pe!ton, Secretary of the Connecticut Vegetable Growers Association, said today that the association will hold it's annual con- vention with Farmers Week that opens in Hartford January 20, 1919. Mir. Pelton went on to say that the vegetable growers had had in mind three principal projects that they would stress; namely, the standardi- zation of packages in which vege- tables are sold, standardization of the products themselves, and the de- velopment of workable plan to buy and use packages more econo- mically.
 The vegetable growers, perhaps more than any other one organized group of farmers, are particularly interested in hte matter of standard grades of potatoes. Many of them are now ready to accept the United States Government Standard Grade No. 1, white potatoes, and desire to follow this same idea with other pro- ducts. The potato crop is so impor- tant that the vegetable growers are not only anxious to sell their own goods by this United States stand ard, but want to buy their seed po- tatoes that come principally from Maine by the same standard.

"BOO" HEAD OF UNION

New York, Oct. 1.-THE striking
! Ilongshoremen voted overwhelmingly
against returning to work at a mass
meeting in Cooper Union last night
after three hours of noisy demonstra-
tion. Although there were scattered
shouts of halting the te-up when
Chairman Riley put the question the
influence of the radical element prov
ed too strong and the meeting finally
made the vote unanimous.
Jeerng and booing T. V. O'Connor,
International President of their union,
the striking longshoremen last night
jammed Cooper Union to its capacity
at the meeting held to determine
whether to continue or to end the
harbor strike. Thousands of the strik-
ers were unable to enter the meeting
place and, gathering outside, became
so boistrous that the reserves from
three police stations had TO be called
out to maintain order
In line with the grave turn given
the strike by the determination OF the
longshoremen to continue their fight
was a report, widely current in Jersey
City last night, that $4,000 regular
army troops were on their way to
man boats of the United States Rail
road Administration and also TO
guard the waterfront No confrma-
tion of this report could be obtained
in official quarters.
Within an hour after the door had
been opened more than 1900 men
were moving around the small square
in rather threatening fashion.
Shortly after Police Captain Nc
Auley of the Fifth Street Station had
called his own reserves and those of
the other stations to control the situ-
alton outside of the meeting place,
three speakers began to talk at as
many points in the square. The
angry pier workers crowded around
the orators. and getting the gist of
their speeches, raised shouts of "an-
archists" reds" and II. w. W. At
the first of the yells the speakers who
had essayed an attempt at socialistic
proselyting hurriedly gathered to-
gether their notes and started on
fast run down Eight street
With shouts OF "Theyrs Bolshe-
viks," Kill them. Mob the l. w
w. S" the wildly excited longshore-
men gave chase. The two fast NOV
ing figures in the van of the pursuing
thousands of longshoremen increased
their speed by seconds and finally
reached Third Avenue where they es-
capped.
