ruff and excessive oil. The hair dries

NEW HAVEN NEWS WRITERS ARE OUT
 FOR MORE MONEY
Newspaper Men Tired of Writing About Higher Wages Solely
 for Other Fellows.
THEY PRESENT DEMANDS
Form Newswriters Equity League But Are Not Yet Affiliated
 With Trade Unions.

New Havens latest organization of workers is the News Writers Equity League composed of the news handlers employed on the newspapers of the city, and it is a 100 per cent organization according to the reports of the mem bers. New wage schedules have been presented to the publishers and a con- test is looked for.
 So far as can be learned unoficia11y the members consider that two of the daily newspapers are favorable to granting their demands while two oth- CTS are not. From the employers side comes the assertion that this view of the situation is erroneous and that all the daily publishers stand combined to oppose the new organization:
 The News Writers Equity League is an independent organization not aff1li- ated with any of the trade unions This is because of a clause i'll the charter of the I. T. U. News Writers Union which forbids members from going on strike until they have been Inflated Nor at least one year. They can make de- mands but no strike will be sanctioned until the aff11iation has ben in force for that length of time.
 The New Haven men feel that their demands would receive scant considera- tion from the employers if their hands were so tied that they could not strike. Consequently they are acting as an in indepenednt body for the present.

WINCHESTER MEN
 CONTINUE ON STRIKE
Company Has School for Polish CTS and Buffers Union Men
 Hold Daily Meetings.

There is practically no change i'll the situation of the polishers and buffers at Winchester's who went out week ago Thursday A committee of the union had conference with the com pany officials before the strike and the demands of the men were refused. The day rate at the shop for polishers and buffers is 34 cents an hour and piece work for eight hours comes to B or 54 cents an hour. The men asked for a day rate of 65 cents and piece rate of 75 cents This is 10 cents an hour less than paid in most other cities.
 The company has school for boys to learn this business and special pass is required to get into this room. Since the strike, the company has put few men in the place of the strikers and most of them are said to be incompet- ent The men who were out were e1n- p1oyed on the gun side and are known as heavy po1ishers and'buhers. There is one room at the plant where about 75 women are employed as light polishers and buffers.
 In order tc replace the men who went out, the company has transferred help from various departments of both the gun and cartridge side Some who re- fused to be transferred were discharged and others were not. The members of the union are holding daily meetings in Trades Council Hall. Officials of the Machinists' Union who are familiar with the situation declare that the men were entirely justified in their action and say they deserve to win as what they ask is very little comp"re to what they earn.

HARTFORD TIEUP AT UNDERWOOD'S
 MAY END TODAY
Vote of WorAmen From All De- partments Yesterday on Re-
 turning to Work Monday.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN
Lockout of 4,OOO Employees in Effect for Nine Weeks. . Settlement Expected.

Hartford, Sept 12.-The lockout of the Underwood Typewriter Company. begun nine weeks ago neXt Tuesday, may be ended tomorrow and the men may return to work on Monday. A general vote was held today of the workers in all departments in the Gen. tral Labor Union and other halls. While it is expected that the men will vote to return the result will not be known until tomorrow morning. A. P. Krone, a po1isher at the plant and the p1 esident Cf the Central L; bor Union, said that terms for a settlement had been arrived at providing for a return of the men with substantial concessions. Employees seen by the correspondent of The Connecticut Labor Press seem ed to feel that they would be back on the job Monday.
 A meeting of po1ishers was addressed by President John E. Fitzgerald of the Polishers and Buffers Union of North America. Other meetings were also held and it was decided to call meet ing of all the workers out so vote could be taken. According to some of the men, an extension of the profit sharing system has been promised.
 The newly organized Typewriter Lodge of the International Association of Machinists held mass meeting which was addressed by Organizer C.. A. Doyle and others. The machinists were apparently not as optimistic about returning as some of the others. The business agent of the District Council of Machinists, E. C., Hotchliss of New Haven, has kept closely in touch with the situation. The finance and advisory committees met yesterday and plans were made for a tag day tomorrow Secretary Trommer of the Central La Dor Union said the reports of settle ment offer were correct.
 The Underwood strike began in mid July and the factory closed down for 10 days after the first wa1kout of 800 polishers and other department work CTS, Subsequently it re-opened but production was far below the normal production of more than 500 machines a day. The strikers increased their number to 4,OOO and an ind t6nite close-down of the factory followed The Underwood company has held the record for the largest regular output of machines in the world

LABOR PROVES ITS ABILITY TO BEAT
 POLITICAL FOE
Drive of Union Men Against Heating Responsible for
 Overwhelming Defeat.
TREMENDOUS VICTORY
Cahill Gets 62 of the 80 Delegates, Smashing the Keating
 Machine Completely.

In New Haven on Tuesday organized labor demonstrated to the public that the political candidate who works over time to gain its opposition is pretty sure to achieve mOmentous results.
 One Edward P. Keating, se1f-chosen dictator of the democratic party, who desired reelection as general registrar was so overwhelmingly defeated at the primaries of that party by Thomas E. Cah1ll as to assure his political eclipse for all time to cone-and throughout the city organized labor was given credit for the achievement
 MT. Readings opposition to organized labor IS too well known by this time to require comment. Added to it was a studied insolence toward its represen- tatives when they sought to confer with him upon matters affecting their or ganization.
 As a result the New Haven Trades Council voted to oppose his reelection ln every possible way and a horde of willing workers within the ranks went to the job with vim. Every individual member was urged to register for the democratic primaries and the vote that was turned out as a result of the labor mems strenuous efforts was a record breaker-and it was a landslide for Cahi11.
 Cahil1 carried practically every ward in the city. He elected @ of the 80 delegates to the city convention. The most optimistic of his supporters pro- phecies were realized The Keating forces were dumbfounded, losing in wards that they considered impregna- b1e.
 It was a convincing demonstration of 11I 1 and it further proved that no separate political party is required.
 One of the unique features of the campaign aga1nst Heating was the extra edition of The Connecticut Labor Press which was issued Tuesday morning, containing 1abor's charges against that candidate. The city was flooded with them and the Cah1ll campaign managers give full credit to this drive of publicity for its undoubted influence in helping to achieve the result attained.

TOBACCO SIiZEEPERS
 TUR67 TIER DOWN New Haven L( .Vill Have An other Conference and Con-

The Tobacco Shippers Union, Local No. 12O46, of New Haven, held a spe- cial meeting in Eagles Hall on Thurs day night for the purpose of consider ing the increase of 10 per cent. offered by the Manufacturers' Association to the shippers. The offer was rejected by big majority vote. It was decided to hold conferences with the manufac- turers, the shippers remaining at work pending an agreeable arrangement. It is presumed a conference with the manufacturers will be called shortly,
 If the tobacco shippers go out it will throw the cigarmakers out, too. The members of the Cigarmakers' Union after being out few dA Ays voted to accept the compromise offer made by the manufacturers and they returned to work Thursday The average increase asked was about nine per cent. and the offer of the manufacturers was about five per cent. After the above increase was granted a few of the manufactur- CTS jacked up the prices of their pro- ducts
