Thursday was not very busy day
in Judge Wells court. He had two
small boys from Riverside who were
charged with breaking into store and
stealing. The smallest one OF the two
could hardly reach the top Of the rail-
ing in front Of the Judge. Sentence
was suspended on both of the boys
and they were placed under the care OF
the probation officer. The parents Of
the smaller boy did not show interest
enough in the case to appear in court.
There were one or two truancy cases.
The case of the state against Theresa
Reeves, of Rutland avenue. for assault
and battery, was postponed until
Thursday. James Mercer Davis, who
represents Mrs. Reeves, was engaged
in civil suit in the lower court room
and could not be excused.

Court Proceedings

! One of the most tiresome cases that
has ever been tried was that of Lindsay
q Co. against the city of Burlington.
1t was begun on Monday Of last week
and occupied every day but Saturday
and was again continued yesterday,
when the argument was whether the
jury should be directed to render ver-
dict in favor Of the city. Judge Car
row said it was very important case
and he wished to look into the referen-
ces to other cases which might be APP
piled to the case. AS he is compelled to
be in Atlantic county today the matter
was put over until tomorrow when a
decision will be rendered or the case
will go to the jury. The cost to the
county and to the parties in the suit
has been great. The jurors alone will
cost $16S and there are other minor ex
penses that will swell that sum. The
amount involved in the suit is various
ly estimated. One side claims that
damage to the extent of $4,000 has
been shown, while the other side says
the highest point that can be reached
will be $500. Whatever the
decision may be there is no doubt that
all concerned in the trial are pretty
nearly worn out over the way in which
it has dragged along.

BOOK AND JOB MEN
WANT HIGHER SCALE
New Haven Typographical Union
to Use It's Best Offices
in This Matter.

Typographical Union, No. AZ, of
New Haven, held its regular monthly
meeting at o'clock, Sunday afternoon,
in Trades Council Hall, Meadow street,
A number of interesting matters were
acted upon, the most important of
which was the matter of an increase
for the book and job compositors. AS
the jobbers scale does not expire until
December, 1920, a conference will be
held with the job shop proprietors in an
endeavor to get some sort of volun-
tary increase as the job compositors are
now working under very low rate.
Conferences are expected to be held
with proprietors of job shops shortly
and an increase is looked for which will
bring the jobbers somewhere near the
newspaper men whose scale was recent
1y increased Sc week.
The matter of an increase in the sal
aries of the International president and
secretary-treasurer was brought up for
action on request of Philadelphia
Typographical Union, No. 2, and the
proposition was endorsed by No. AZ,
If 50 unions throughout the jurisdiction
endorse this proposition it will be put
before the referendum for decision,

holding aloof from the Machinists be-
cause of Lavit's attitude and he speed
ily brought about the latter's removal
for refusal to abide by the laws of the
International Machinists' Union. Fol-
lowing that came the revocation of the
charter of Lodge No. 80 and the in
stallation of the new lodge, No. 116,
after which the property of No. 81
passed into the hands of receiver upon
agreement between counsel representing
the International Machinists' Union and
Lavit.
Officers have been installed by Lodge
No. 116 and the membership is growing
constantly, every care being taken by
the International to see that such men
as dominated Lodge No. 80 are kept
out, the latter having consisted OF as
many men who were not machln1sts as
of those who were, it is stated.
Following the suspension of Lodge
No. 80 its delegates were unSeated by
the Bridgeport Central Labor Union
and delegates from Lodge No. ITO were
seated The Bridgeport Central Labor
Union also unanimously endorsed the
action of the International in revoklng
the charter of Lodge No. 80.
The Connecticut Federation Of Labor,
the Bridgeport Central Labor Union, the
International Machinists' Union and
Tohn J. Egan, business agent of Lodge
No. 116 and also president of the
Bridgeport Central Labor Union, issued
a call to all metal trades organizations
in Bridgeport to form a Metal Trades
Association and the meeting for that
purpose was held August 20.
Representatives of the majority of
the locals of the metal trades were
present and the preliminary work of
organization was perfected. All the
metal trades have agreed upon uni
form application and initiation fee for
all locals in Bridgeport to remain in
force for the campaign which is to be
waged for membership.
AS a result of the formation of this
association, there will be no more spon-
taneous strikes of different branches of
the trade; if any strike is necessary it
must be sanctioned by the Metal Trades
Association and international author
tiles That this will tend to steady and
strengthen the labor movement in
Bridgeport is self evident and greatly
improved conditions are looked for.
It is also evident that the movement
must be strengthened and scl1d1hed II
the Unions are to achieve anything, in
view of the apparent intention OF the
manufacturers to consistently refuse all
recognition of organized labor and to
fight everv effort on the part of the
workers organizations. -
All the international organizations af=
fected have agreed to send able repre-
sentatives to Bridgeport to cooperate
in the campaign about to- be inaugtlr-
ated. Secretary-Treasurer Dawson is
already on the spot for the Internation-
al Machinists Union, II. S. Warrender,
international organizer for the Black
smiths, will represent that organiza-
ton and John Fitzgerald of the Metal
Polishers will look after the interests
of that branch. Others are expected
soon.

STICK BY DEMANDS
Mass Meeting Addressed by
James +. McCue and Boot and
Shoe Workers Officials.

Naugatuck, Aug. 2o.-At a mass
meeting of $500 strikers of the Good
year Rubber Company plant here on
Wednesday night it was voted almost
unanimously to stand pat on their de-
mands for 20 per cent. wage increase
and adjustment of working conditions.
Addresses were delivered tonight by
James F. McCue,, organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, George
Martindale of Boston, vice-president of
the International Boot and Shoe Work
ers' Union; Representative Michael A.
Caine of Naugatuck, and T. F. Corey,
business agent of Local No. 545, Boot
and Shoe Workers Union. The ad-
dresses were practically all along the
same fine, the speakers comp1imenting
the workers upon their great victory,
claiming that Naugatuck workers had
made a far better showing than the
unions. of Bridgeport, which recently
struck for a A hour week.
Organizer McCue then appeared on
the speakers platform and said that he
was going to call for vote on whether
or not the strikers would return to
work. He urged the strikers to use
their best judgment and not to be in
f1uenced by anything that had been said
at the meeting.
He called for a vote of those who
desired to return to work and about rs
responded He then called for a vote
of those who favored staying from the
work until their demands had been
granted and he was greeted with field
of waving hands, and one of the great
est demonstrations that has occurred
since the walkout over two weeks ago.

CICARMAKERS LOOK
FOR RAISE IN PAY
New Haven, Bridgeport and Wa
terbury Unions Make De-
mands-Hartford Wages Up.

The New Haven Local of the Cigar
makers Union held a special meeting on
Wednesday night in regard to demand
made upon the manufacturers for addi-
tional pay. The average increase asked
is about 9 per cent. of the amount made
weekly. The cigarmakers are now work
ing Saturday mornings as business is
somewhat better than when a large
number was laid off and the men agreed
not to work on Saturday mornings so
that larger number of men could be
employed. The manufacturers notified
the Cigarmakers' Union that it desired
a delay before making a decision and a
reply will be made to the demands on
September E.
The Bridgeport and Waterbury
Locals are making similar demands to
New Haven. The Hartford and New
Britain cigarmakers received a few
weeks ago the raise now asked for by
New Haven Bridgeport and Water
bury. The Tobacco Shippers Union of
New Haven is to ask for better wages
and demand will be made as soon as it
is approved by the officials of the In
ternationa1 organization.
The strike of the Boston cigarmakers
is over. A compromise was made with
the manufacturers. The New Haven
cigarmakers paid a strike benefit to the
Boston cigarmakers who were out.

CONCILIATORS GO
To- WINCHESTER'S
Government Officials Want to
Know Why Union Employees
Are Discharged.

Charles J. Fury and L. R. Thomas,
conciliators of the United States De-
partment of Labor, were in New Haven
on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week and went to Winchester's 20 see
if they could learn why the Winchester
company was discharging so many en-
ployees who had joined the Machin-
lists Union and other unions for men
engaged in the metal trades. The con-
ciliators were unable to get any infor-
nation because Mr.. Ottarson, the vice
president and general manager, was
away. The Winchester company re-
Gently announced that it was to shut
down for three weeks for inventory.
Union officials claimed that this was a
bluff and the announcement was made
to discourage employees from joining
the union. The union officials had the
right dope on this for the plant was
not shut down. According to union or
ganizers a good many members of the
union have been discharged at Win
chester's.
Before they visited New Haven, Mr..
Fury and Mr.. Thomas were in South
ington where they interviewed Mr..
Blakeslee of the Blakes1ee Drop Forge
Company of P1antsville, relative to the
strike of about so machinists and drop
forgers, and as result of the confer
ence it is understood that the company
and the men have failed to come to any
terms. Mr.. Fury says that Mr.. Blakes-
lee fails to recognize the union in any
manner and intends t.: conduct the busi-
ness at the factory the same as the COM
pany did at previous strike about six
years ago. Mr. Fury asked if he could
be of any assistance in the ettlement
of the strike and was Informed that no
assistance was needed. The Blakeslee
Company is operating with smaller
force of men at the present time.
These two conci1iators have been en-
gagged in Bridgeport for some time try
ing to straighten out the labor difficult
ties there.
