PRESSMEN TAKE.
ACTION And VOTE
ON MANY MATTERS
Forty-Four Hour Week to Go In
to Effect May 1, 1920-Trouble
With Register.
BOX COMPANY AGREEMENT
Charter to Be Opened-Report by
Cominsky-Election of
Officers Soon.

Considerable business was transacted
at the monthly meeting of the Printing
Pressmen's Union, Local u, of New
Haven. The working conditions which
have been existing in the press room of
the New Haven Register were consid-
cred and the paper was given definite
period in which to adjust the condi-
tions. The paper failed to do this.
The local committee took the matter up
with the owner, John Day Jackson, but
no agreement was reached. The local
committee voted to have its New Eng
land representative, Joseph A. Dart, call
Just matters. It is hoped the matter
will be Strengthened out with but little
friction. e.
The Local has ballotted upon four
propositions before it of great impor-
tanec to the organization. One was
for 44-hour week to take effect May
l, 1921. This was agreed upon by the
international board of directors of the
printing trades and the employers or
ganizations. The Local opened its
charter for a short period for organi
zation work and has increased its mem
bership. When the charter is closed the
initiation fee will be increased.
The Local has dismissed its commit
tee on contracts and agreements which
have been settled by the Local and the
master printers. The Local has met
with the representative of the National
Folding Box Company and satisfac-
tory agreement was reached. The con-
Germ called for special rate on wages
due to the class of work turned out in
the establishment. The Local was rep
resented by a committee of interna-
tional representatives, Joseph A. Dart,
New England representative, and Wal
ter A Johnson, Connecticut represen-
tative. The rate decided upon was $50
per week on two-co1or machines, $28
on single color machines and $24.50 on
p1aten presses. When the committee
was dismissed, it was given a vote of
thanks, as was also the representative.
The committee on the newspaper end
will not be dismissed until the end of
the negotiations have been reached with
the New Haven Register. The meet
ing was very largely attended and it is
hoped future meetings will be draw
ing card for members. Brother Louis
Cominsky, delegate to the New Haven
Trades Council, read his report of the
meetings of that body. The report was
a very interesting document and the
members were instructed to notice the
made by Mr.. Comm
sky
Ali members are requested to attend

TO ELECT OFFICERS
Important Meeting of New Ha-
ven Local to Be Held Tonight.
Glass for Officials.

The New Haven Local of the Cloth
Hat and Capmakers' Union will elect
officers at the meeting in Trades Coun-
Gil Hall tonight. This organization
continues to send money each week for
the benefit Of the striking capmakers in
St. Louis. The trial of President Zar-
itsky, Carolyn Wolfe, the general Or
ganizer, and So of the St Louis strikers,
has been postponed because Judge Dyer
did not care to try the case. The de-
PENDANTS are charged with contempt of
court. The defendants had. protested
against the cases being tried before
Judge Dyer on the ground that he was
prejudiced and had committed himself
when he referred to the strikers as in
significant individuals. Benjamin Lev
go to, the football game last Saturday
with the other labor officials but he was
satisfied as he won half a weeks pay
on Princeton.
The Capmal1ers' Union announces
classes in New York for labor officials
and some of the New Haven officials
may go there for lesosns. Two courses
are at present given for the officials, one
on the methods of industrial control
and the other on modern history, from
the discovery of America up to the
present time, including the industrial
history and the history of the labor
movement.
The science Of industrial control is of
recent origin and includes review of
the development of our present indus
trial SYSTEM and the modern methods
of management both from the single
establishment in the individual industry,
and those economic institutions which
serve to control the exchange of serv-
ices and goods between the individual
establishments and industries. The
courses will wind up with review of
the tendencies revealed by scientific re->
search for change in the present meth
DDS of industrial control. -.

Park Project Endorsed

The establishment of a municipal
park in Mount Holly was endorsed and
recommended at a meeting of the
Business Mems Association held last
Tuesday night, after report had been
made by committee that had investi.
gated the subject.
The committee. which had examined
several sites, unanimously recon-
mended the old Evan lumber yard
property, with several adjacent lots, as
the most desirable place for establish.
ing park. This tract comprises ap-
proximately six acres, and is capable
of being developed into park suitable
for all purposes. The tract is located
in the heart OF the town, is easy OF
access from Washington and Water
streets, and can be obtained at a
reasonable price and without seizing
and destroying valuable buildings,
which is usually the case when muni-
cipalities obtain centrally-located park
sites.
This property, on account Of its loca-
ton, it is believed, will prove to be an
investment that will constantly in
crease in value, and could be disposed
of at any time, should such action
ever be desired in the future, for con-
siderable more than its cost.
A resolution was passed providing
that the association petitions the Town
ship Committee to take steps to ac-
quire the land for the establishment of
q community park.
