CLOCK WORKERS
 BUSY AS BIRD DOGS
Working Days and Part of Night and Company Wants Them
 to Work on Sunday, Too.

The executive committee of the Watch and Clock Workers Union Local No. 46, of New Haven, connected with the International Jewel-y Workers, Union, held meeting on Sunday and discussed some changes that are needed in the bylaws. A committee has this matter in charge and it Is expected that new bylaws will be eracted soon. This IS one of the new organizations that IS rapidly increasing its membership.
 All the members are employed at the shop ot the New Haven Clock Com pany, where b1siness is so brisk that many of the employees are working overtime every night after putting in the usual amount of day time. The em- plovees were asked to work on Sunday, too, the payment to be time and half, but the men object to working on Sum
 /. This matter did not come before the meeting and no action has been taken by the union but it is known that the men, individually, are opposed to working on Sunday at this time
 The New Haven Clock Company has just received an additional order from the United States Government for clocks, amounting to $35. 900. Some of the dogs that have returned from France and Flanders with the soldiers are wear ing paw watches, similar to wrist watches. This IS only a fad of the sol diers who own the dogs as the animals don't have to be told the time when to rnaw a bone. Members of Local 46 say they have not seen any designs for wrist watches for animals yet

International Organizer in a Labor Forward Drive Cam
 paign in Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City, Utah, is now experi- encign forward labor drive, the big gest thing that organized labor has ever attempted in that locality. J. s. Divon is directing the movement and one of the big guns is Sol Sontheiner, for many years active in organized labor in Connecticut. A. G.. Pike sixth inter national vice-president of the Meat Cut ters and Butchers Union, has been hur- ried there to help gather the harvest. E.. c. Lock, of Bingham, has been or dered there by the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union. The Brick and Clay Workers Local was installed on Wednesday night; there are 500 en- gagged in that work Ill Salt Lake City. The first big mass meeting was neld on Thursday night of this week.

He was great 1y pleased with the preparations that had been made for the great spring mem bership drive.

AGREEMENT
 SATISFIES EVERYBODY

The New Haven locals of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America, and the employers conferred this week on the new agreement for the forthcoming year, and both sides agreed to the terms The proposed agreement is practically the same as the one now in force, no change being made in wages. hours of employment, or conditions. This matter has been hanging fire for some time and the satisfactory outcome is especially agreeable at this time, and all concerned in the trade can eat their eggs tomorrow morning in comfort. The local unions are adding to their membership at a prodigious rate, about twenty-five ap- p1ications being received this week.
 The Connecticut State Conference of Painters was scheduled to hold its monthly meeting in Derby tomorrow, but as it is Easter, it was decided to post pone the meeting for one week. The meeting will be held in Derby on April 2. Each union in the state is entitled to three delegates to these meetings, and the sessions are held on the third Sun day i'll each month.
 Rensselaer, Beadle, business agent of the New Haven locals, is not only busy at this time, but he is also preparing for the ordeal of posing be- fore photographer.

SORE ON HOW IT WAS
 PUT OVER ON THEM
Returning Connecticut Soldiers Say Amendment on Prohibition
 Violated Their Rights.

When Connecticut soldiers returned from France and were seen upon their arrival in Boston, the subject of pro hibition was ae sore one with members of the Twenty-sixth Division. The sentiment seemed to be that something had been put over on them in their ab- sence. More than the fact that the nation is to be dry, the belief that their constitutional rights were violated in a perfectly legal way IS what ~rankles. Few of the men really mourn the fact of prohibition. It is the method by which it was obtained by vote passed while they were in France. .-
 Rev. Dr. (. E. Hesselgrave of the Congregational Church at Manchester, Conn, who had years leave 10 do war work in France, corroborated the above statements. In his opinion the putting over of prohibition has been presented, or rather. misreprcsented, to the boys in such light that they object to the prohibition question itself. He said he had heard but few earnest ob- jections to prohibition but he had heard many Statements made that 1t was not fair to pass such important and all- embracing legislation in their absence. Instead of realizing that prohibition came at this time because of inevitable circumstances brought about by the war, the men believe 1t was 9 coup d'etat on the part of the prohibs and resent 1t, ac- cordinR to Dr. Hesselgrave.

LABOR LEGISLATION LOST BY
 AMERICAN LABOR PARTY'S HELP
 TO REPUBLICANS IN HARTFORD
Connecticut Federation of Labor Legislative Committee Says Apparent h. gratitude of Labor Men Toward Mayor Knseh of Hartford bs Friend Turned Friendly Democratic Senators Against Organized Labor-Most Republicans Were Opposed, Anyway.

That the political activities of the American Labor Party in the Hartford election cost Organized Labor its friends i'll the Legislature and doomed hopes for beneficial Labor legislation to disap- pointment, is the charge made by the Legislative committee of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor
 Previous to that election Labor had many friends among the Democratic senators, while the election of num- Der of Republican senators had been so close that they were anxious to avoid opposing Labor legislation-a situation which promised great possibilities.
 Then came that election. In Hartford Up to that time the city government was controlled by the Democrats, they hay ing majority in the a1dermanic board, and Mayor Richard F. kinsella has proven one of the best friends that Or ganized Labor has ever had in the mayors chair. He had proven this in many ways, one of the most notable instances being his insistence upon ap- pointing two union men to important positions connected with the building commission, Martin Spe1lacy as building inspector, and another as plumbing in- spector, i'll the face of strong opposition from powerful leaders in Hartford's widely known open shop organization. Wirh the control of the city government in his hands, therefore, Mayor Kinse1la Labor's friend was in a position to do much for the workers and was proving his desire and intention of doing 1t.
 The election changed all that The American Labor Party without gain ing anything for itself, pulled away enough votes from the Democrats to lose tkem the control of the board of alder men and robbed Mayor Kinse1la of his power. .r
 The result at the Legislature was im- mediate and notable. Democratic sena- tors who had formerly been only too glad to give the Legislative committee of the Connecticut Federation of Labor

LABOR SITUATION
 IN STATE IS BETTER
Connecticut Labor Department Reports Much Improvement
 in This State.

Hartford, April 18.-The Department of Labor at the Capitol reports that the labor situation in this State has i'm proved from 50 to 60 per cent. since February 1, when the number of ;lner1- ployed was at its height.
 Meriden was less affected than any other city i'll the State in the matter of unemployment, the greatest effe"t of all influx to the city being wher the branch of the Colts Patent Firearms Manu- featuring Company opened III that city, but when the branch suspended opera tions the employees returned to their former homes. In New London the conditions are reported as never having been really bad, and ,ring activities are taking much labor. In Norwich, nearest to New London, further improvements in the labor situation are looked for. Hartford has shown wonderful i'm provement of late, and it is said there is absolutely no cause for alarm here. One factory which had promised to discharge from its employ all married women whose husbands were able to take care of them, has found it unnecessary to do so, but instead has been engaging addi- tional help, in every instance giving preference to returned soldiers whether they had been previously employed there or not.
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-04-19

helping hand barely spoke to them as they met Ill the corridors of the capitoi
 When they did speak they expressed the bitter sentiment that the Democratic mayor of Hartford had been betrayed by the men for whom he had done so much, the Labor man. As Patrick F. O'Meara,1 president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and head of the Legislative committee expressed 1t at the meeting of the New Haven Trades Council Thurs day evening they now told the members of the committee and Labor men gem erallv that they could go to the hot place for all they cared.
 The matter came up for lengthy discussion at the last meeting of the New Haven Trades Council and Timothy Crowley, the leader of the American Labor Party, came in for a lot ot personal criticism as well. 1t was stated by the Legislative committee that he had created strong antagonism to- ward Labor legislation by his personal attitude toward committees at hearings. One instance quoted deaIth with his re- cent appearance before the Judiciary committee when he is reported as haG- ing announced -
 "I represent the Hartford Central Labor Union and the American Labor Party. which is going to show you guys something pretty soon."
 On another occasion he is said to have informed a committee that the new Labor party was going to give you fel- lows the boot"
 Naturally the effect of such utter ances could not be beneficial to Labor's legislation chances and the Legislative committee expresses considerable ire over having its hard work offset by such procedure a
 After extended discussion it was voted by the Trades Council to carry the matter over to the annual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor ln Meriden in June, when 1t will receive extended attention

BRICKLAYERS NOW LOOK FOR
 BETTER TIMES
No Boom in Building Yet But Outlook is Improving and
 Few Out of Work.
THREE DELEGATES CHOSEN
New Letterhead Necessary as So Many Branches Are in.
 the Organization.

The Brick1ayers', Masons' and Plas- terers Union Local No. 6, of New Ha- ver, rep orts considerable improvement i'll business in its line and while there is no big boom on or any particular rush of biz business there Is a slow increase which IS encouraging and not many members are out of work at this time. Out of membership of 26O it is said that not over twenty-five are idle this week, which is much better record than exists in numerous other bodies. 1t is expected that in few more weeks ere will be a considerable increase in ou''dlng operations and before the sum- mer IS well under way, 1t Is predicted hat the services of these men will be at a premium and bricklayer out of work will be as scarce as Connecticut city that does not claim the big gun captured by Connecticut soldiers from the Huns.
 There are so many branches affiliated with tffis union that it has been decided to have some new 1etterheads printed. The top-line will consist of the words Bricklayers', Masons' and P1asterers' In- rernational Union and at the left there will be printed Cement Finishers, Mar ole and Tile Settlers. The organization meets on the first and third Mondays in each month and at the next meeting con- siderable new business is to come up for action.
 In New Haven, a few new jt5s are now under way, some of them of consid- erable magnitude. Work on the Hark- ness quadrangle at Yale, the biggest of all big jobs, is being held up for the arrival of Ohio limestone. Just why the stone is not forthcoming seems to be mystery as no one is apparently able to ell when it will arrive. This job will equlre 50 brick1ayers when the work is well under way. ;. -..
