THE HARTFORD ELECTION.
The Labor Review Of Dayton
Discusses Politics Here.
(From. The Labor Review.)

(Froms The Labor Rev1ew.) -
In Hartford, Conn, last year there
was Democratic mayor and admin
istration, union men were appointed
as plumbing and electrical iuspec-
tors and to other positions requiring
the service of skilled men No hos
tile ordinances were passed, the city
council apparently devoting its energies
to the consideration of matters that
would be of benefit to the entire mem
bersh1p.
Unfortunately some members of or
ganized labor with more political am
bition than good reasoning power,
conceived the idea that a labor party
was the proper thing and he proceeded
to organize such an institution. The
result was what was expected-the
Labor Party was poor third, the efhci-
ent Democratic mayor and council were
defeated, reactionary Republican, adj
ministration was put in power, with the
assurance that organized labor would
not be recognized, and the entire labor
movement Of the state, so far as 1egisla-
ton is concerned, given severe set
back, The case in Hartford is only one
Of half dozen instances that could be
cited. ..-.
Labor might take lesson from the
operation Of the Anti Saloon league.
Here IS an organization that in 20 years
has become one of the greatest political
powers in the country merely through

BARRIERS CHOOSE
BUFFALO DELEGATES
Merlino and Attanasio to Repre-
sent New Haven Local.
Social Session May 20.

The BARRIERS Union of New Haven
met on Thursday night and elected
Anthony Merlino, the business agent,
and Joseph Attanasio as delegates to the
annual convention of the Journeymen
BARRIERS international Union to be held
at Buffalo, beginning September g.
Giacintox Grieco was named as alter
nate for Mr.. Merlino and Eli Gessner
is Mr.. Attanasio's alternate But with
Niagara Falls so near the convention
hall, it is not believed that the alter
mates will be called upon for duty.
The New Haven Local decided to
have a social session on the evening of
May p at its headquarters in the In
surance building. There will be music
and cigars and specially invited speak
ers and an imitation of a man learning
to eat self-winding spaghetti. A large
number of invitations will be sent out
and the committee plans to make the
session one long to be remembered.

MORE PLANS FOR
TYPO CONVENTION
Sightseeing Trip for Visitors,
Entertainment, Shore Dinner
and Other Features.

Plans are we'll under way for the
convention of the New England Typo
graphical Union in New Haven on June
p, q and "a. The committee on the
convention held meeting this week
and, arranged additional details As
there will be no international conven-
ton this year of typographical unions,
the New England gathering will be of
unusual Importance and will attract
many who ordinarily wait for the in
ternational.-
On the first day, there will be a get
together meeting at Hermann Sons hall
on Crown street. at which about 800
visitors are expected. The opening gun
will be fired at this time and the bayete,
or royal salute, given to the high Off
Gals. The committee is arranging for
a short Sightseeing trip for the visitors
for Sunday. The old Sightseeing
now but the committee will see that the
visitors are shown some of the land
marks and -laces worth while. There
will be no demand for the keys of the
powder house or parade to the Center
church or address by Judge Baldwin
but there will be something equally as
good: The details cannot be diyulged
now as they are great secret. Moth
ing of importance will be missed and
the show windows of The Connecticut
Labor Press will be specially decorated
for the occasion. -
Then there is to be an entertainment
on Sunday evening of diversified ma
ture. On Monday, business session
will be held at the convention head
quarters. There will be a business
meeting at headquarters on Tuesday
morning and in the afternoon there will
be, shore dinner The committee ar
ranged to have this dinner at the Shore
ham but when the meeting was held the
members did not know the hotel was
going to go up in smoke. 1t will
be at the Colonnade and this promises
to be one of the greatest shore dinners
ever held for the shore dinner will be
as extinct as the dodo when prohibition

playing one party against the other.
None of the high officials of the league
seek or would accept political Office,
neither will they countenance the for
nation of separate party. The idea
upon which the Anti-Saloon league or
ganization was built was the holding
of the balance of power, enabling 1t to
throw its support to the Democratic or
Republican candidate as circumstances
might require. By subordinating any
political ambitions they might have en-
tertained the leaders have retained the
confidence. of the ordinary membership
of the league and in this way made it
possible to insure obedience to their
suggestions to support certain cand1-
dates.
For labor to emulate the example
of the Anti-Sa1oon league it will be
necessary to secure leaders in this
movement who are frst-class politicians
yet have no political ambitions. True,
this combination in a single individual
is hard to find, but it does exist and it
can be found. But whatever the final
outcome of the present movement a
labor party is a mistake both from a
political and an industrial viewpoint. If
such a party should become national in
its operation labor could hope for no
consideration at the hands, of the two
major parties now in existence Again,
if labor enters the political field it will
invite the enmity of industrial leaders
and workers who entertain strong par
tisan feeling for either the Republican
or the Democratic parties.
Lok at it any 4wav one will, the for
nation of labor party would seem to
be of no benefit, except possibly to a
few men who are now acting as political
leaders.

CITY'S INVASION.
By Spring Harvest of Early
Vegetables, Crisp and Tender.

The city marketing service report this
week by G. M. Stack contains some
valuable information, some of which is
as follows: =
Goodbye old roots and w1lted vege-
tables coming from long distances. The
market growers have started the spring
harvest of early vegetables crisp and
tender from nearby farms and gardens.
The harbingers of spring have marched
northward long ago with dandelionS and
water cress and with few warm days
man" delivered Monday native aspara-
gus and spinach will be more plentiful
on the produce market.
Only a few weeks ago the local hot
bed dandelions and lettuce represented
the entire supply of local fresh vege-
tables but today there are at least a
score of vegetables available that are
arriving fresh from the farms of local
growers.
The dandelion season is fully adj
vanced yet the demand for this useful
green has seemingly increased and in
stead of a reduction in the demand for
dandelions we still find them moving
freely in the market. The dande1ions
produced by growers are improved
varieties instead of the wild varieties
found by the roadside.
Local lettuce, radishes and green
onions are also coming in moderate sup
ply so that the housewife can make a
good salad of fresh greens without de-
pending on material from outside
sources.
Rhubarb is plentiful and the city
housewives are now being offered a
de1icacy right from the local growers
in the form of pieplant Regular spring
weather has favored the rhubarb in de-
veloping the tender stalks sufficiently SO
the local farmers can market the pro.
duct The qualit-' of the early cuttings
made at the present time is excellent
and the stalks are tender, full of juice
and cook well. There are few people
who do not enjoy fresh rhubarb pie
or eating sauce. With local growers
bringing a moderate supply daily house
wives should count on this new addi-
ton to the daily meals.
At present retailers are paying from
four to six cents per pound for rhubarb
and pound bunch makes an economi-
cal pie filler when we consider that
pound of pieplant will suffice for pie.
