ENGINE HITS MAYOR
M'NULTY'S AUTOMOBILE
NARROWLY ESCAPED WITH HIS
LIFE WHEN INCOMING TRAIN
SMASHED HIS CAR.

Mayor F. M. McNulty had a close
call Thursday afternoon while going
from his place of business to his
home.
In crossing the track of the Sea-
board Air Line railroad his car was
struck by the passenger train com
ing from Albany. A heavy rain was
falling and the curtains of the ma
chine being up Mr.. McNulty failed
to see or hear the approaching train.
His view was also obstructed by
some freight cars on a side track at
the crossing. The automobile was
carried some distance up the track
after the rear wheels were demolish-
ed by the engine of the locomotive.
Mr. McNulty was able to walk
home, where he was given medical
attention. He has suffered consider
ably from a dislocated shoulder and
two fractured ribs. He also sustain
ed severe bruises, but is able to be
on the streets again.
The accident caused considerable
excitement and until the full partic-
ulars could be obtained the MANY
friends of the injured mayor were
very apprehensive.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, de-
ponds prosperity or our going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to furnish nearly half your liv-
ing. 1t will save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
Hastings 1919 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money saw

Ceiling Was Ablaze, But the Flames
We're Quickly Extinguished.

Sparks from fue which started
blaze at the canning factory
brought the fire department out in

possibly abrogate a charter of an or ganization by withdrawing from it. The Corset Workers Union still exists, even though depleted numerically, and it is the nucleus of mighty live organiza- ton that IS going to be heard from later on with flying Colors.
 Sometime ago 1t was announced that a determined effort was to be made by the Connecticut Federation of Labor and International unions to thoroughly organize the women workers of the state, and that drive toward the com p1ete organization of the corset indus try of New Haven would be one of the features of the campaign.
 This particular industry in the Elm City has always been a knotty proposi- ton for organized labor. The local has been going along excel1ently with mem bers from most of the shops except that of Strouse Adler Co. which is credited with having very vigorously opposed an attempt to organize its workers a few years ago. All attempts to gain a foothold in this particular shop have since failed and the union has encountered considerable opposition
 Co-incident with the announcement of the drive to be made in New Haven's corset industry there developed what ap- peared to be a sort of undermining process i'll the union. Disagreements arose and a split among the members followed. A mutual benefit sort of an organization, the ever handy instrument of employers in opposing labor organ izations, made its appearance in one of the shops and the members of the union employed in that shop became much interested in that This, in time, led to the break from the union In this situation is seen. the hand of the employers and the members who pre- fer a benefcient form of organization fostered by the employers to a trade union will probably learn later to dis cern the difference in the benefits be- tween the two.
 In the meantime the Corset Workers Union will be promoted vigorously and there is every expectation that 1t will be brought to point where its mem bers will derive the same benefits which are enjoyed by their sisters in Bridge port where the Corset Workers Union is a live wire body whose members have been able to secure substantial benefits in wages and conditions through the trade union route

and die finally in poverty; that the coal miner IS neglected citizen of America.
 On the other hand, the report of the investigations made by the Federal Trade Commission shows that the bitu- mlnOuS coal operators made a clear net prott of from 50 cents to $1 per ton during and since the war as compared with the fact that prior to the war many b1tumlnous coal operators conducted a profitable business upon a net profit of less than lO cents per ton; 1t is a matter of common knowledge that coal oper- ators during the war made fabulous sums Ot money and that many individual coal operators became millionaires; that these coal barons who are now so ap- parently solicitous for the welfare of the public and who assume to act as its protectors have anasSed fortunes out of the profits that coal consumers were forced to pay for fuel during the war. . Since the armistice was signed, more than year ago, the mine work CTS III the main producing fields of America, although willing and anxious to work have not been employed 25 per cent. of the time because they were de- med the opportunity to work when the mines were closed down and thousands of men forced into id1eness by their employers III order, as we believe, to limit the output of coal SO as to continue the reaplng of big profits
 The full light of federal investiga- ton and nationwide publicity has been turned upon the toilers of the mines and they have been forced to continue their labor under almost unbearable conditions, at the same time showing a commendable willingness to make cen sessions i'll their previous demands in order to effect settlement, while the mine operators have stood continually in an autOcratiC and immovable position, conceding nothing, granting nothing, suffering nothing except their own divine right to refuse to negotiate with their employees
 Tt is high time that every investiga- tion of labor controversy should dis close the compensation that capital and management are getting, as well as labor; that the full force of federal in Vestigation, followed by prosecution when necessary, and the full light of publicity should now be turned upon those huge profits from human toi1 to the end that indifferent or arrogant en- ployers will, themselves, see to it that there are much fewer lock-outs and strikes over the matter of wages and working conditions"

expected that these shops will be grant ed the label if the investigation is found to be all right.
 Great stress was laid before the Council insisting upon all delegates of the printing trades to attend all meet 1ngs of the Council in order to carry on the work successfully.
 The Council held its election of off, cers at this meeting for the coming year which resulted in the following:
 Thomas J. Poll, unanimously re- elected for president for the coming year, representing Typographical Union No. 47; Edward Smith, of the Book binders, was elected vice-president for the coming year, succeeding Edward C. Gerard of the Electrotypers Walter A. Johnson was unanimously elected secre- tary and treasurer for the coming year, representing the Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union.
 The Council is also arranging for a social and business affair for its meet ing in January when plans will be formulated for improving the conditions of the crafts for the coming year, and full attendance of delegates is ex- pected
 Walter A. Johnson, secretary of the Council, has been instructed to com municate with state representatives and senators in regard to having all state printing of all kinds done in union es- tablishments and under union condi- tions, also that all united organizations of various kinds are to be instructed to demand in the future that all check books and drafts be printed upon union conditions and on union label water marked paper, which at the present time a great many of these are done in shops which are notoriously against or ganized labor, and 1t is hoped that all organizations will ask and insist that check books, etc, be printed under union conditions.
 A committee is also to be appointed in the near future to call upon the vari- ous heads of the city departments urg- ing them to have all their printing done in union printing establishments, which at present a great deal of it IS done, but there Is still great deal more which is not done under these conditions, such as reports, year books, school sundries and books, etc.
 The Council wishes to extend a Merry Christmas and a Hapy and Prosper ous New Year to all members of organ ized labor and its friends.
