about July 20, we will ask you to kindly advise us as to the result of the vote of ratification, on the vote passed June 13, which we assume will be taken at that time, and which MT. Dallas assured us would be mere matter of form.
 "The offer which we have made you, involving an increase in wages of near ly 20@o, was made by us in sincere and earnest endeavor to assist your members in meeting present living costs, and it involves the expenditures of a large amount of money by the four newspapers, which they can i'll afford during these times of high cost of white paper, and all sorts of extraordinary expenses incidental to the publishing business. We trust that you will con- slider such offer in the same spirit in which it is made, and that our hitherto pleasant relations may continue during the coming years.''
 On Monday an independent proposi- ton by Manager Darlington to the Journal-Courier chapel, for submission to the union, offers a $4 increase from July to May 1, 1920, and then what ever Hartford papers pay"-the con- tract to run until May 1, 1921. This will also be up for discussion at the meet ing tomorrow.

NEW HAVEN PROTEST
 AGAINST PROHIBITION
Resolutions Sent to President Wilson by Committee in Charge
 of Meeting Held on Green.

The committee which had in charge the recent meeting of protest against the enforcement of the wartime pro- hlbltlon measure, held on the New Ha- ven Green, has prepared and forwarded to President Wilson the following reso- lutions:
 Whereas, The President of the United States, his honor, Woodrow Wilson, saw fit in his judgment to have placed as an order immediately after the arnistice iii the world war, what IS now so commonly known as the war time prohibition law, and
 Whereas, The Chief Executive of the nation being in possession of facts at that time that probably was not clear to the minds of the average American, to compel him to have such an order passed, and
 Whereas, Since that order of His Honor Woodrow Wilson was passed many thousands of the soldiers of the United States have arrived at their home stations, and after going through the proper routine of military channels, they have been officially discharged from the service of these United States, and
 Whereas, There was fear that many of these American soldiers might for get themselves from temporary stand point, to partake of malt or distilled beverages, to the point of excess, and
 Whereas, Since the arrival of the soldiers from overseas, there has been a peaceful demobilization of all of the various commands, there has been no disturbances, the soldiers are anxious to get into civilian clothes, and to be back again entirely in civilian life, so much so, that there has not been one instance in this vicinity, that called for measures of restriction, relative to disorder1y conduct and so forth, and
 Whereas, With this particular demobilization going on SO orderly and peacefully, 1t appears to those assembled here tonight that there Is no necessity for the further continuance of this so- called war time prohibition, and there fore be 1t
 Resolved, That we, some 5000 citi- zens of New Haven, Conn, assembled i'll peaceful combination, call upon His Honor Woodrow Wilson, President of these United States, tu remove the war time prohibition rule, so that the rights of these and other peoples will not further be infringed upon"

G0MPERS TO MEET GERMAN DELEGATES
American Federation President Says We Must Recognize
 the War Is Over.

In a copyrighted cable despatch to the New York Sun and Philadelphia Public Ledger, President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation, of Labor is quoted as saying in London before he left for Holland that he was not averse to the presence at the Trade Union Internationa1e in Amsterdam next Monday of delegates from German trade unions.
 Tt is true," said MT. Gompers, Chat during the war was opposed to any dealings with representatives of the enemy countries. But war is over and we have got to try to make the best possible conditions to protect and pro- mote the rights and interests of the workers in all countries, Germany as well as any other.
 "The Big Four of the nations decided to admit Germany into the convention for international regulation of labor conditions even before Germany is ad- mitted into the League of Nations"

The Mid dletown local is a vigorous youngster and IS now going full speed ahead
 There was considerable discussian at the session in regard to having uniform wages and rules for working through out the state The organization will work hereafter with this end in view as such action will tend to make the vari- ous locals stronger.

 Taking into deep consideration this question of prohibition being forced by minority upon the majority of citi- zens in free and independent country, taking away the rights and liberties without giving them the opportunity to voice or vote for same Is detriment to the country and organized labor in general.
 Whereas, The various crafts and organizations affiliated with the Amer ican Federation of Labor which this prohibition measure will cause them to lose their legitimate employment and cause them to seek other employment which will cause them to break away from their legitimate organization. and in time cause the American Federation of Labor to lose large part of their and have tendency to dis rupt the American Federation of Labor, therefore be it

 Joseph Wasserman, secretary If the union, was next on the list. He re- turned last week from the national con- vention- of the International un1on in Chicago and when he went back to work he was charged by the foreman with putting tags belonging to other men on his own work In fact, he was charged with cheating. MT. Pergola claims that all the bad work done in his department was piled on his bench and as he had to do 1t over that was why he was unable to earn a living. MT. Wassern1an was given layoff. He told a reporter for The Connecticut Labor Press that If tine superintendent asked him to return the foreman would have to apologize to him before he went back.
 Naturally, the union could not make business agents out of every man dis charged, hence the special meetings and the action taken. When the union was organized those who were active in the organization were born jn other coun- tries or were of foreign descent. They worked hard, to get Americans in the
