on the Green and if permission is re-
fused the meeting will be held in hall

fork by the hammer and tongs style
in which he speaks. He is one of the
most vigorous organizers and advo-
Gates of unionism in the United States
and has earned a wide reputation for
his valiant struggles on behalf of or
ganjzed labor. Conditions among the
machinists and workers III the metal
trades are very bad in New England

work at less wages than they are en-

service to those sections of American
workers who desire to organize politi-
ca11v" he feels it his duty to place his
services at their disposal TO explain the
machinery and program of Great Brit
tain's political labor organization"
We wonder just how much Arthur
Henderson is going to explain. Will
he explain how he tried to prostitute
that political labor organization of
Great Britain into an ally for Ger
many? 1t would be embarrassing #
somebody asked him to explain why he
wasn't reelected to parliament. The
explanation of the defeat of J. Ramsay

prove just as embarrassing.
Will Henderson explain the part
which his little clique at the head of the
Labor Party played in trying to win the
war for Germany? Will he explain his
indefatigable attempts to meet with the
enemy while the war was still in prog
ress?
Will Henderson explain Stockholm
will he explain Zimmerwald, will he
explain Berne? Will he explain how

of the workers of Great Britain sent

explain why he ignored the expressed

few exceptions, are in favor of the gov

they know that if the roads ever get
back into the hands of the formSf own

will be forced TO go back to the old sys-

around by those who think that the

Secretary Manning, of the Label
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor, addressed the
convention and gave a good talk on the
union label and the power behind it. He
called attention to the fact that if every

nand the union label, that over night

he decided to do without one, then he
realized his mistake, paid his fine and
Joined all over again. There is a moral
to this
~ Samuel Dandry was one of the mem
bers of the New Haven BARRIERS Union
who went to war. Most of the mem
bers of the Local who were IN the SER
vice are back but word comes from
Greenfield, Mass, that Dandry has got
a lob in a barber shop there under the
jurisdiction of Local No. 2o5 and he
will spend the. summer in that pretty
Massachusetts, village. AS its name I'M
plies, Greenfield is pleasant spot in hot
weather, there are many shade trees on
the main street, some movie theaters
and other attractions. According to
Anthony Merlino, business agent OF the
New Haven Union many BARRIERS be-
longing to the organization dislike the
extreme heat of the city during the
summer months and secure jobs at the
seashore, among the mountains or IN
the country.
August Scholz, 4 member of the
union who was at St. Raphaeps Hos
Dital under treatment for blood pres
sure, has returned to his home and is
improving rapidly.
The question of "Once a member,
always a member" is attracting much
attention among members OF the union
who are interest because this Will come
up at the annual convention at But
falo. When a barber becomes a boss
Of shop he, loses his. membership IN
the union and ali the benefits that go
with it. In order to get around this
rule, some BARRIERS who buy out shops
get them in the name of their wife and
thus retain their membership in the or
ganiZation so as not to forfeit the SICK
and insurance benefits
Anthony Mer1ino, one of the dele
gates from the New Haven Local to the
annual convention in Mer1den next
week of the Connecticut Federation OF
Labor, has decided to commute back
and forth each day. There will not be
e1egates from New Haven to
run a special train for their benefit as
the delegates will take their chances on
the regular fathers.
A member of the union who read the
recent article in The Connecticut Labor
Press about admitting women BARRIERS
to membership in the union, said that
he never heard of but one woman bar

on Church street and every time she

as she reached his chin with the blade.
1t seems that she made good progress

and the leshy part O eek but when
she struck the chin and especially
tough one she gave the ). q. >. sign
Immediately and one of the men BARRIERS
had to come to her relief and finish the
lob. Naturally, some of the customers
did not like this for when job was
started they desired to have it COM
pleted by the same hand, Bit when
ever this woman reached mans chin
she became nervous, was afraid she
might inf1ict a cut or something and
