After ride or race on Dr. deWaltoff's "Bewitching Wave at Savin Rock the new aquatic spectacle at the White City, a girl with bobbed hair asked girl whose hair was not bobbed what she was going to wear if they had masquerade there. The girl whose hair was not bobbed and who probably does not know that the war Is over for there were traces of war paint on her cheeks said that she was going to put a big wave in her hair and represent the Atlantic Ocean.
 The "Bewitching Waves" has proved to be one or the most popular features ever introduced at the famous resort It was invented by Dr. deWaltoff and it not only provides a ride in a real boat but there is also the fascination of competition as the boats race side by side and the outcome is as problematical as some of the Yale-Harvard regattas at New London although to qualify to race i'll one of these boats the training does not bring out boils on the neck as the training the Yale students get does.
 The slogan adopted by The Cornecti- cut Labor Press for Savin Rock, Con necticut's Recreation Spot for Work CTS" or The Playground for the Work ingnan" made a big hit all over the Rock and has been generally adopted by the merchants and ConcessionairleS One of Dr. deWaltoff's representatives with copies of recent numbers of this paper before him said: Those were very effective articles in The Connecti- cut Labor Press about Savin Rock as to this place being the playground of the workingman and his family and we hope the articles are continued Tell the editor to keep 1t up and arouse pub lie opinion to the necessity of keeping these arnusements going so that there can be no backward step. While every thing is fine now and the prospects are excellent, just keep the good work up"
 The Orpheum Theater in the White City is doing a fine business and, there is change of program at every per formance, afternoon and evening. The finest films in the celluloid drama are shown here There Is to be grand in the White City. This should prove to be a very attractive feature for the program will include many novelties i'll addition to the standard display of rockets, bombs, aerial bouquets, floating flowers, etc, closing with grand leu de joie, which in a fireworks display is about the same as deni-tasse and finger bowls at banquet.
 The F. B. Dashiell Company chain of restaurants is in full swing now and the four places are running as smooth as the oil put into the salad dressing: MT. Dashiell is a veteran caterer and conducts the Beach and White City res taurants and the Grove and White City 1uaches. A visitor from Feeding Hills, Mass, was at the Rock the other day and when he heard of the chain of eat ing places he wanted to know if Mr. Dashie1l collected them like some people collect old china or rare postage stamps. A word to the wise:. Soft shell crabs on toast are at their best now.

That the convention declare it's absolute conviction that Mooney has been the victim of frame-up.
 2-That a committee be appointed to proceed to Washington i'll final effort to secure federal relief opening the way to a new trial for Mooney,
 3-That these steps failing, the Fed eration forward to all internationals a proposal for referendum ballot on a general strike of perhaps "A hours duration.
 Mooney's friends declined to say what effect this resolution would have on the, strike proposed for July 4, but it was freely predicted that the new proposal would take the steam out' of the July 4 movement.
 Rumored threats of a Pacific coast secession movement i'll the event of failure to endorse the strike idea by the Federation was laughed at today by Mooney's representatives who said that the strike vote had been lighter on the Pacific coast than on the Atlantic coast. It had been expected that an effort to get the July strike endorsed here would be made and the mi1der tone of the proposal now made may win some support that would not have gone tC the more drastic proposal. It Is more than doubtful, however, that the 24- hour strike provision will come any where near winning and the fact seems to be that its proponents do not really expect it to win. The belief of most delegates seems to be that the moral force of the Federation will be the strongest force 1t can wield for Mooney,

Haven is expected to have at least 50 delegates present while Hartford will send 20 and Bridgeport as many more. Waterbury $ also sending a delegation and the smaller cities will range in rep resentation from two to a~dozen.
 The state organizations of Labor will also be represented as such by delegates. the Connecticut Federation having elected Frank P.

Vice-Presi- dent Scollins will represent that organ ization for the state of Connecticut, not only at the demonstration but before Congress as well and 1t would be diff cult to imagine more efficient or ener- getic representative to be found within the confines of the Nutmeg state.
 Otto J. Schletz of Hartford, presi- dent of the Trades Union Liberty League of Conencticut, and James ]. Nance of Hartford will represent that body.

season at this place. Momauguin is famous for its bathing, its dancing, its shore dinners, planked steaks, broiled live Holsters, etc. One 1obsterman at Short Beach has a standing order from MT. Swift to give him every crustacean he lands in his lobster pots. This as sures fresh Holsters daily This lobster man must make good living out of it for all he does in the winter is stay on the place and wait for the lobster sea- son to come around again. The chef de cuisine at Momauguin is also noted for his soups and sauces like true Gordon bleu. Our readers may recall Vate1, the chef of one of the French monarchs who committed suicide because the fish was not delivered for state banquet. MT. SWift's chef would not commit suicide but the 1obsterman who failed to deliver the supply would hear some thing to his disadvantage if there was such a misfortune. The dancing at M0mauguin is from 8 to 12 o'clock. Meals la carte are furnished at all times. The camoufaged bathing suits are to be seen st Momauguin.
 For shore dinners and hanauets the Tabard Inn A. c. Mcdonald, proprie- tor, is retaining all of it's popularity This place has a distinguished cliente' who know in advance that anything ordered at the Tabard Inn will be sat isfactory.
 An excellent trolley service is main tained to all of these resorts on the East shore.

PLAYGROUND FOR ROCKINGHAM

 Enterprises Other Notable Features

The Connecticut Labor Press said that he was greatly surprised at the volume of business done considering the bad weather. The lowering clouds threat ened a heavy rain about all day and 1t was not expected that many amusement seekers would visit the resort, but ac- cording to Mr. Terrell the Wilcox res taurant did a big business. This com pany operates a carrousel, skee-ball, bridge ball, the Whip and the Frolic. A ride on the Whip or the Frolic is good for the digestion
 The big Racer at Savin Rock, con du:ted by Mir. Salisbury, opened the season last Sunday and all the machin- cry ran like clockwork. This is one of the big features at Savin Rock and the majority of sightseers enjoy few rides on the big Racer before they think of meal. Some claim that this ride is a good appetizer and takes the place of an aperitif, which is what the return ing soldiers call Q cocktail. If you dent believe 1t, the next time you see Jimmie Maroney ask him for an aperitif MT. Salisbury also conducted the Racer at Lighthouse Point, which winds in and about the trees, making one of the most attractive rides of this class in the country. The trees were there before the Racer was built but if the architect had tried to wish something on the pro- ject he could not have devised anything more satisfactory than the way the trees grow at that spot and the cars winding in and about the foliage is like trip ur and down a mountain
 Yale D. Bishop does not have to travel far to be on the ground at both of his enterprises. MT Mitchell for instance goes to St. Petersburg, Flor ida, in the winter, and to Mitche1l's Lighthouse Beach, the new name for Lighthouse Point, in the summer. Mir Bishop keeps the Hotel Bishop in New Haven open the year round and i'll the summer concentrates some of his energy on Bishops Co1onnade at Savin Rock The Feeding Hills visitor quoted above one day this week and told friend afterwards that he would not be sur prised if Yale University had been named after Yale D. Bishop. When told that the chances were that 1t was the other way around he said that the dinner he had at the Co1onrade was an education in itself for it filled him full of bright ideas. He said that he felt so bright, in fact that he thought he would omit his customary dose of eel cry salt.
 The New Far East Chinese and American restaurant at Savin Rock combines the charm of the Orient and the magic of the seashore and the place is replica of the noted restaurant on Church street in New Haven. The Savin Rock branch is located at 492 Beach street and the fine culinary skill and excellent service for which the New Haven place is known will be found here.

The resolution declared that both war time prohibition and permanent prohibit ton as provided under the eighteenth amendment were principally intended to deprive the workingman of the means the days work" and that all 'restric- tive and sumptuary legislation has the effect of destroying part of the Ameri- can labor movement and in seriously crippling many international Organiza- tions affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor"
 The main section declares:

Especial to Connecticut Labor Press
 Atlantic City, June 13-Out on the far end of the great steel pier 547 dele gates sit in deliberation on the problems of the working people of America, striv- ing to reach conclusions that will re- suit i'll progress, avoiding both the chaos of Bo1shevism and the reaction of the Bourbons.
 Underneath them the waves of the Atlantic lap ceaseless1y at the piers and tumble care1essly toward the sand Along the boardwalk a block away the promenade of the lame and the halt and the luxuriating id1ers goes on early and late in ''the mirth place of the na- tion." Between the A. F. of L. conven- ton Hall and the boardwalk there is a great medical exhibit, staged by the American Medical Association which is in convention here. Plain clothes men amble through the crowds on the alert gust of the labor men who see no sense in such proceedings. But the Mayor has ordered the sleuths to pussyfoot and so they pussyfoot cease1ess1y.
 There are some IA co1orad delegates in this convention. Four or five years ago there were none. Finally one struggled in and the number has in creased rapidly. They represent Pacific Coast oil field labor mostly. Their par ticular fight is for an anti-lynching reso- 1ution. They flock together and make themselves as unobtrusive as possible
 Matthew Wol1 has been reelected president of the International Labor Press association. The convention of the association was lively one, with some 50 or more labor editors present. They recorded a general progress for labor papers
 When James Duncan reported for the last labor mission to Europe he said that after the Americans had conferred with the French Confederation of Labor the Frenchmen asked the Americans not to divulge what had taker place as it would injure the Frenchmen whose position had not accorded with the American position. What was the American as tonishment to find next morning in La Battai1e, organ of the French Confed- eration, complete report of the pro- ceedings. European labor diplomacy was devious proposition.
 President Gompers has not reeained all his old time vigor and he protects himself from over-eXertion, but he IS rapidly gaining strength and the con- vention will suffer not bit from the effects of his recent accident. Mrs. Gompers occupies one of the visitors chairs, as in former conventions, a kindly little lady who speaks softly and gently despite misfortune's harshness.
 J. Mahlon Barnes Is here. What are you going to start?" he was asked. He smiled ard was non-committa1. Barnes has led many fight on President Gam pers, but he hasn't made any serious dent yet He has fewer supporters this year than usual, it appears.

OFFICERS NOMINATED.
New Haven Cigarmakers to Vote
 at Next Meeting.

This local meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month and the executive board meets every Tuesday night Business con- tinues to be poor for cigarmakers in New Haven but there is some hope that more cigars will be smoked during the vacation period At this time most smokers are apt to fill their pocket humidors at least before going away Several members of the New Haven Union are expected back from the army service next week when the 79th Divis- ion is due to return.

Forty newspapermen report the con. vention proceedings. At least 70 of them are Bo1sheviks and some of the Bo1sheviks do not represent Bo1shev1k papers. Basil Manly, former joint chairman of the War Labor Board, is at the press table. So is Carl Sand burg who has just tied for first prize for the best book of poetry published by an American during the year.
 Andrew Furuseth is the most pessi- mistic delegate. He doesn't want to be interviewed. but he did say to one re- porter that he couldn't see the dawn of new day" visioned by so many. On the contrary he sees the "sun setting on human liberties"
 Funny questions are asked by the new members of the newspaper contingent Here are some:
 ''Who's leading the opposition ?'
 What will the fights be about?'
 Who is goirg to run against Com pers?"
 Old timers catch their breath and just say repeatedly Nobody" or Nothing"
 When the International Labor Press association adopted that section of the presidents report approving the work of the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy and urging support for it the labor editors voted the1r yeas with pep. It was unanimous and en- thuslastic.
 Margaret Bondfe1d, one of the Brit ish fraternal delegates, finds congenial friends among the more radical dele gates. She is going from here to Chi cago to attend convention called for the purpose of protesting against in vasion of civil rights to which a great many known Dacif1Sts are going She is a smiling little body who seems to enjoy buzzing around
 F Suzuki. of Japan, is here after an absence of two years. He represents the Japanese Friendly Society and al ways makes a speech of which fully half is understood He's as congenial as the cherry blossoms of his island home. Labor organizations is his life work and though he smiles like cherrv blossoms there are few flowers in the real life of Japanese labor organizer.
