For they had glimpsed vision from afar, A vision concentrated to a Star,
 That Love- Man had found an avatar. Men crown the Manager with diadem.
 Men cry hosannas to the Garments hem,
 But scant the gift the Spirit asks of them;- Faith in this world, the House of Thee and Me, Hope of Ourselves. the Door to make men free, Love of fellows, which is still the Key. Such is the wisdom of the Christmas tide. Happy that day when wisdom shall abide And not each tomorrow be denied. What if hugged that wisdom close and dear Not for day of merriment and cheer, But for the days of all the Christmas year? In this mad world where surging men are met If should strive give o get, What metes upon our boundaries should be set?

Of course sugar and rather high but to aphrase Jo" of Little Women fame, Christmas won't be Christmas without making candy.
 Everybody likes homemade candy and the effort is not too great for the result Pendant the only kind of candy that requires unusual amount of work and fuss ing and that not difficult mysterious task as many people think
 An attractive box that may afterwards be used for sewing smaller that may be used for buttons, filled with fudge and penouche and taffy makes charm ing Christmas gift.
 These recipes are for the candy maker without thermometer
 Remember that bright, sunny day is better for candy making than dul rainy one that beet sugar is not sweet and will boil away than sugar; that brown sugar will crde milk and great must be taken in cooking all brown sugar candies
 The pan the candy is cooked in should be perfectly smooth and large enough to allow free boiling of the sirup

HENLEY BEGINS
WORK In MERIDEN
Central Labor Union There Ap-
points Committee to Work
With Him in Organizing.

John J. Henlev international organ
izer of the Hotel and Restaurant En-
p1oyees' International Alliance and the
Bartenders' International League of
America, was in Meriden the first part
of this week and attended the meeting
of the Central Labor Union of Merider;
on Monday night He spoke of his work
in New Haven in organizing the Culin-
ary Alliance, composed of walters,
mattresses, cooks and lunch room en-
ployees and spoke of the campaign he
intended to inaugurate in Meriden. The
Meriden central body appointed a COM
mittee to work with him.
Mr.. Henley had an interesting exper-
ience in Meriden. He went into res
taurant there and ordered steak and
supposed he would get the kind of steak
that is put out in most restaurants at
this time, very small very thin and very
unsatisfactory. He was greatly SUR
nrised when the steak was brought to
him and he saw that it was the kind
that was served in pre-war days big
and thick and juicy, the kind that re-
juvenates the system and brings back
the lost motion Mr.. Henley was in
New Haven a few days this week but
he is to return to Meriden and continue
his organizing work there. He may
make his headquarters in the restaurant
where he got that steak.

GARMENT WORKERS
TO CONTINUE FIGHT
No Sign Of Weakening Among
the Striking Forces in New
Haven-Ka1in in New York.

The Ladies' Garment Workers Union
of New Haven shows no sign of weak
ening in its strike for better wages and
better conditions. President Kalin went
to New York on Monday and conferred
with some of the international officials
in that city in regard to the situation.
He was notified that the international
organization would render all the assist
ance necessary. Vice-President Seide-
man of New York, who was sick for a
few weeks, has recovered and was in
New Haven during the week for con-
ference with Secretary Ornburn of the
Connecticut Federation of Labor, Presi-
dent Kalin and Miss Maud Foley, an
international organizer, who is detailed
to assist the New Haven Local during
its strike.
The box party given in Trades Coun-
Gil Hall last Saturday night yielded
about $500 for the fund. There was an
interesting musical program and many
gifts were auctioned off. President
Kalin called the assemblage to order
and introduced Benjami Leventhal as
chairman for the evening. The weekly
parade of the horse-drawn vehicle with
placard showing the names of the
firms that have accepted the demands of
the union will take place today if the
weather is favorable.

CARPENTERS NOW
DEMAND WAGE OF
DOLLAR AN HOUR
Largest Attended Meeting of Car
penters' Union Ever Held
in New Haven.
INCREASE ON JANUARY 10
Members of Hebrew Local Got 81
an Hour This Week-Morde-
CATS Salary Raised.

The largest attended meeting of a
Carpenters Union ever held in New
Haven took place on Monday night at
Hermann Sons Hall on Crown street.
when $50 members of Local 7o were
present The usual meeting place of
this local in Trades Council Hall could
not accommodate such a crowd. Many
matters of importance were disposed of
and it was after midnight before ad-
journment was taken.
1t was decided to make demand for
a wage of ST an hour to begin on Janu-
ary 10. 1t was also decided to have all
overtime work done away with with the
exception of what is considered abso-
lutely necessary. The District Council
will decide as to the necessity of over
time work The carpenters are opposed
to overtime work as it is apt to infringe
on the workman's ideal workday of
eight nours. Some contractors desire to
times when overtime work is necessary,
as in a case of fire or an approaching
storm which would ruin materials.
The meeting also voted that after
April l, 1920, the carpenters would not
work on materials from local mills or
factories that had been handled or
turned out by rfon-union workmen. It
was said that considerable material is
now received from mills that employ
non-union hands. This rule will apply
only to New Haven as the union does
not have jurisdiction over material that
comes from out of town.
George F. Mordecai, business agent
of the District Council, was given
wage increase slightly in excess of $500
a year. There was forerunner of this
increase several weeks ago when he was
granted an increase of about $50 a
wear. 1t was evidently the idea of those
who decided this matter to deal out the
increase in homeopathic doses. Mr..
Mordecai made a brief speech and
thanked the organization for benefits
conferred.
Local No. 1742 Carpenters and join
ers' Union, met in the Labor Lyceum on
Saturday night and voted to demand
rate of 81 an hour to go into effect on
Monday morning of this week. The
contractors who hire the men in this
union granted the demands and the new
rate went into effect on November 3.

lean Federation of Labor sent out an
appeal this week, addressed to cali Or

dent Gompers, Secretary Morrison,

ton relating to the strike of the en-

The effect that the published reports of
the strike are misleading and untrue
and that the men are standing solid
The committe emphasized the necessity
of financing the strike that is, that
missary places which were opened up in
order to furnish the most needy with
some food so that they can live and
maintain their position.
"The Executive Council declared its
SUPPORT of the organizations on strike
and that an appeal should be made to
all organized labor and friends urging

cia1 assistance of all are necessary.

"As already stated, the officials in
charge of the strike have arranged to
open commissaries to feed all who are
really in need.
There are now 100000 workers and
their families affected.
'The necessity for help is pressing.
"Everv local union is urged to con-
tribute as its resources will permit and
every member of every organization is
urged to do likewise Everv central
body is requested to conduct campaign

sible.

METAL TRADES
met LAST NIGHT
Four New Haven Unions Organ
ize Into Council-Machin-
lists Have Smoker.

The New Haven Metal Trades Coun-
Gil met last night in the rooms of the
Machinists' Union and an organization
was perfected. Preliminary steps for
this organization were taken at the first
meeting last Friday night. Plans will
be made soon to have an organizing
campaign in New Haven among the
locals in this council, Machinists, Pol
ishers> and Buffers, Molders and Pat
ternmakers.
The New Haven Local of the Machin-
lists Union held smoker in place of
the usual meeting on Thursday night
and the program included number of
boxing bouts. Some who attended con-
sidered the boxing more interesting than
some of the features at the recent box
parties held in Trades Council Hall.
The District Council of Machinists,
composed of delegates from all the
locals in the state, met at Trades Coun-
Gil Hail last Saturday night. Only rou-
tine business was transacted. There is
no change IN the strike situation at
Stonington.

Firms Accept Terms.

No definite action was taken this week
by the Bookbinders' unions in New Ha-

the international headquarters. An
|nouncement was made yesterday that
some of the small concerns had made a
satisfactory wage settlement with their
employees. Miss Mary Meehan of Bos-
ton, who organizes girls in this branch,
was expected in this state again during

A curious report came from Meriden,
where it was said that one firm opened
the scale and offered the help less
money than they were receiving when
they asked to have an increase in their
wages.

BARBER TO GROCER.
Closing of Shop Where Many
Youths Had First Shave.

New Britain, Nov 1.-The passing Of
Edward B. Nihil1s barber shop on
South Main street.-the is going into he
grocery business at the same place-will
be read with mixed feelings on the part
of many New Britain men, young and
old. Located as he was across the street
from the high school he gave hundreds
of the growing youth of the city their
"frst shave" an event quite as moment
Gus in the life of the average high school
youth as to don his first pair of long
trousers. More than one of self ack-
nowledged prodigies imbibed wisdom
that came from the lips of the loquaci-
Gus BARRIERS of the place and many an
interesting argument to show the ex-
perienced barber how wrong he. was
in his logic and philosophy were heard
there.
