ONE LABOR BILL
 REJECTED IN HOUSE
Senate Had Passed Measure Pro viding for Nine Hour Day for
 Women and Minors.

The Connecticut Senate this week passed unanimously a bill concerning the employment of women and minors The maj ajority report of the labor com mittee was unfavorable and the minority report was favorable. The bill provided that no minor under 16 years of age and no women shall be employed in any manufacturing or mechanical establish ment more than nine hours in any day or 50 hours i'll any calendar week. The bill provides further:
 No minor under 16 years of age and no woman shall be employed in any mercantile establishment, other than manufacturing or mechanical, more than S5 hours in ahy calendar week, provided any employer who shall, during each year, give not less than seven holidays with pay, shall be exempt from the pro- visions of this section during the period from the 17th to the 18th day of De cember of each year"
 The House on Thursday rejected the bill, IF to 51 and the unfavorable ma jority report was accepted.
 Representative A. c. PriSk of Wal Iingford, chairman of the committee on labor, explained the bill. He said that in the busy seaosn it is sometimes ad- visab1e to work 55 hours a week, and that in some instances the workers themselves are in favor of the $ hour week The bill will work a hardship on the smaller industries of the state, he asserted. He favored rejection of the bill.
 Representative E. H. Bailey of Dan bury said he considered 50 hours a week enough for any woman to work He submitted figures showing that 324 em- ployers in the state employ 18,756 women, and that 219 of the employers work on schedule of 50 hours or less, He favored the bill.
 Representative Samuel Shaw of Red ding spoke in favor of the minority report and for the passage of the bill. It reduces the hours which women and minors may work in factories from 10 to nine hours a day and from $ to 50 hours a week. The woman who works nine hours a day will do better work than in 10 hours. he maintained. He referred to the Senate adopting the minority report unanimously

WOMEN WORKERS
 IN NAVY YARDS
Campaign to Organize Them in New England and Elsewhere,
 Also Women in Arsenals.

A special membership drive to enlist the thousands of women workers at the U. 5. navy yards and arsenals has been undertaken as a result of conferences in Washington during the past week between officers of the National Fed eration of Federal Employees and the presidents of local unions at several such points. Miss Gertrude McNally, general organizer for the Federation, Is President John Fitzgerald, of the Fed era1 Employees Union there and launch this campaign among the office en1- p1oyees and the women hagrnakers, sail makers, and life-preserver makers in the Brooklyn navy yard.
 The pressing need for organization of these women workers, Miss McNally states, is evidenced in the fact that at the navy yards and arsenals women are not paid at the same rate that men are paid for work of corresponding skill. Although the War and Navy Depart ments have announced policy of equal pay for equal work, she points out that the women employed in the flag and sail lofts, and in various shops at the diff ferent arsena1s are rated at a scale which is lower for their skilled work than is the wage paid to unskil1ed labor done by men,
 In Fn1IaQelpn1d, d SiI111dr CaHlpdlgl for women members, at the Schyulldl1 arsenal and League Island navy yard, is being conducted under direction of Secretary John D. Cloud and Miss Emily Leonhardt of the Local Federal Employees Union. President Francis Mccormick, of the local union at the Naval Ammunition Depot at Hingham, Mass, which has a 100 per cent. or ganization. will take up the campaign in other New England cities, covering Watertown arsenal and the Boston navy yard. in cooperation with President William J. Burke of the Boston Local Later, Miss McNally will go to the Rock Island, H., arsenal, and to the navy yard at Charleston, S. C, to assist Presidents E. J. Dorgan and J. B. Webb, at the local unions at those points.
 National Organizer R. E. Peabody has just reported the organization of a local at Watervliet arsenal, New York, and Vice President Charles L. Wiegand, of Baltimore, within the past week has organized a union of the employees at the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

CONDITIONS FOR
 POSTAL EMPLOYEES
President Hyatt of Federation Trying to Improve Them
 in Chicago.

President Gilbert E. Hyatt of the Federation of Postal Employees, has re- gently been in Chicago, trying once more to secure some bette, of san itary conditions in the boston. slid ing there. For years the postal clerks i'll Chicago have been compelled to work in crowded, filthy, dark rooms, with results seriously damaging to their health. Union men who have led pro tests against these conditions have been punished The rooms have not been improved The health officials of the city, making tuberculosis survey, were not permitted to enter the building, since the post office department claimed that the property was under Federal juris- diction. Postal officials now claim that the Treasury department Is responsible for the filth and darkness and the crowding. Nobody but the union does anything to save the workers health.
 In fine contrast to this situation Is trial Accident Commission i'll Califor- nia, in a report by Commissioner Will J. French-a veteran member of the Typographical Union-before the recent convention of the Srste Building Trades Council at Fresno. French showed that in the construction of three big build ings in San Francisco during the past year, due to the tact that safety meas ures suggested by the Commission were carried out, not life was lost nor seri ous injury suffered, after the piling was in. One man was killed while piles were being driven. For guarding the safety of 300 men employed 12 months on the Southern, Pacific building-the largest office structure west of Chicago-the cost was $13.10 for each worker, or trife over one dollar per month per man.
 In constructing the Santa Fe office building, the safety devices cost less than a dollar per month for each of the 175 men who worked six months at the job For protecting the lives and limbs of 30 men for 38 days in doing the structural work on the great California Theater, only $220 was spent.
 Now, that was mighty good economy for the contractors, and it was better than the payment of life insurance for the men who would otherwise have been killed. It is that sort of -forethought against industrial accidents that the telephone strikers have been taking, and which the administration has thus far refused to agree to. It is that sort of forethought that the 100000 rail- road workers are going to take, through the strength of their own organized numbers.

BARTENDERS MEETING.
Gathering Tomorrow an Ex-
 ceptionally Important One.

The regular meeting of Bartend- CTS Local, 217, of New Haven, called for p. m. at Eagles hall, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, promises to be one of the most i'm portant held in a long time and full attendance of members is re- quested.
 One of the important matters to come up will be the election of dele gate to the convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor at Meriden the first week in June. It is very necessary, in view of the un- usual importance of this convention, that great care be taken in the se- lection of delegates and the tendency of unions throughout the city has been, so far, to send delegates who represent the local i'll the Trades Council because of their familiarity with the issues at hand.
 It is generally conceded by those familiar with the situation that never before in the history of the C. F. of L. have there been as many import ant matters to come before a con- ventior as will confront the dele gates at the coming one
