CHAPMAN, Kan, Sept. (by Associ- ated Press).-Transformation of wheat from standing grain to hot bis quits in 55 minutes is a record es- tabllshed here recently by Harry Ruff, head of local milling company. He drove into field where farmer was harvesting wheat with a harvester thresher, which cuts and threshes the grain in one operation and took two bushels of wheat This he rushed to the mill where it was ground immed lately, then took the flour home and Mrs. Huff made bisquits.

MCLISHMAN EMPLOYS
 ONLY ONE-ARMED MEN

WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 2 (by As sociated Press). .-England's greatest employer of one armed men, w. H. Dunkley of London, manufacturer of carriages, recently visited this city on preliminary survey of land and so- cial conditions in Canada, with the view of bringing the poor from the slums of London to Canadian farms.
 Since the armistice, MT. Dunkley has employed none but one-armed men. e now has three hundred of them in his factory and has found that these crip- pied soldiers, properly trained, not only can do almost the work of a man with two hands, but are given a new interest in life working entirely with men of their kind

CHANGE DATE IN INAUGURAL
 OF PRESIDENT

ST. LOUIS, Sept (by Associated Press) The long period between the election of the president of the United States and his inauguration is "a ser ious evil fraught with much danger" according to the report of a special committee on the change in date of the presidential inauguration, present ed at the convention of the American Bar Association.
 The report recommends that the period be shortened, and that the short term of the old congress be eliminated. It, however, does not sug- gest any other date for the inaugura- tion, explaining that March 4, has been recognized by constitutional amendment as the date of inaugural. It adds:
 "The committee, however, is of the opinion that it is the duty of this as sociation representing the great body of lawyers of the country to call the attention of congress to those provi- sions of the law and of the constitu- tion which are fraught with serious danger and which are liable to bring humiliation and disaster to the repub- lie.
 It states that the period between election and inauguration is liable to leave the administration in hands which have been discredited by a pop ular vote of want of confidence and that such situation greatly weakens the prestige Of the government both at home and abroad.
 The three months session of the old congress occurring after a new congress has been elected is also most unsatisfactory and serves as an oppor- tunity for partisan activity of the worst kind"

UNITED STATES OWNS QUARTER
 WORLD TONNAGE

LONDON, Sept. 2 (by Associated Press). According to Lloyds Register of Shipping for 192O-21 just issued. the seagoing tonnage of the United States apart from great lakes shipping has in- creased sinve 1914 over 800 per cent and now stands at 12,406,000 tons. Thus the United States comes second only to the united kingdom which has 1S,111,0O0 tons.
 Japan, which in 1914 took sixth place, is now third, with 2,99G000 tons closely followed by France, with 2,963,- 900 tons.
 Including sailing ships, but exclud- ing tonnage on tho great lakes, the United States now owns "A per cent of the worlds tonnage, as against AZ per cent six years ago, the Register states.
 The figures show for the formerly belligerent countries include consid- erable amount of enemy tonnage pro- visionally allocated to those countries. Germany, which in 1914 occupied after the united kingdom, the first pos ition with over 5,O0O,OOO tons of ship ping, now only owns 419,000 tons.
 The steam tonnage owned by the principal maritime countries in June, 1920, totalled 53,905,O ,OOO, an increase of S,5O1,OO tons as compared with June 1914; but it is computed that the worlds net loss in shipping through the war, taking into account the sus- pension in normal shipbuilding activ- ities, amounts to 3,516,O00 tons.
 There is a reduction in sailing ton mage since the pre-war days of 6l4, 900 tons a much smaller decrease than in any previous six-year period and doubtless accounted for, says the Reg ister, by the shortage of other tonnage having given new life to the construc- tion of sailing vessels. The United States, the only country which has in- creased sailing tonnage since 1014, now owns over 43 per cent of the worlds sailing tonnage.

MUST BOOST THE
LABOR TEMPLE TO
MAKE A SUCCESS
Members of Orga nizei Labor II
New Haven Urged to
Greater Effort.
BIG SHOW Is COMING
A Ten-Act Vaudeville Perform
ance Is Scheduled for Shu-
bert's Sunday, October 81.

A report on the building fund for the
New Haven Trades Councils Labor
Temple was made at the meeting of the
Council, Thursday evening, bys Dele
gate Eugene Treiber of the fund COM
mittee, in which he urged greater CO.
operation on the part of the members
in order to make the project a success.
Two excellent sites for the temple had
been looked at he said, but it was not
yet possible to secure either of them.
Every member should turn to and
give the project the heartiest sort of a
boost, he added If labor in New Ha-
ven wants home of IFS own each in
dividual must get back of the project.
1t will very probably be impossible to
renew the lease of the present quarters
when it expires, he added, and halls are
getting scarcer and scarcer. Unless the
Temple project is a success it is possi-
bic that the Trades Council may have
to go into some small, poorly ventilated
hall as bad or worse than the one
formerly occupied.
He added that the committee had
arranged for a 10-act vaudeville per-
formance at Shubert's theater, Sunday
evening, October 81, and he hoped to
see the theater packed with union men
and their wives and sWeethearts on that
evening The entertainment arranged
will be one of the most notable of the
sort ever held in the city and will be de-
serving of hearty patronage. Tickets
can be obtained from the committee
and Delegate Treiber urged an early
and heavy demand for them.

TO SAFEGUARD
LIBERTY BONDS
OF WAGE-EARNERS
Labor Organizations Endorse
Hartman Plan to Maintain
Investment at Par.
MEANS EASIER MONEY
This Also Means Plenty of Work,
Good Wages and General
Prosperity.

A measure which looks toward safe
guarding the holdings of wage earners
in Liberty bonds, one of great import
ance to the thousands of workers who
have invested their money in these
bonds, was passed at the meeting of the
New Haven Trades Council at its meet
ing, Thursday evening, in the form of
resolutions endorsing what is known as
the Hartman p1an," which aims to
insure par value on these holdings.
Propaganda has been started among
the members of organized labor, and
also in business circles, looking forward
to the funding of the foreign debt of
Great Britain, France. and Italy, and to
insist upon at this time the interest,
at least, shall be paid upon the debt,
which is owing to this country
At present the debt is simply in the
form of notes which the respective
allied countries executed in favor of
the United States by the ambassadors
representing each country. These notes
are payable on demand. No interest
has been paid to this country so far.
It is wish to have this put in the
form of bonds which shall bear inter-
est at an agreed rate Out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the securities issued
to the United States by the allied gov
ernments, with or without the guaran-
tee of the United States government
thereon, the proceeds are to be used
for the purchase and retirement of the
Liberty Loan bonds and other outstand-
ing obligation of the United States
government.
Organized labor holds large amount
Of Liberty Bonds, and it would be very
advantageous to them to have the Lib
erty Bonds go to par. It will also make
for good times and easy money, which
means that there will be plenty of work
and good wages especially, in the line
of the building trades, as the tightness
in moerly is now operating against con-
tractors and material men doing any
building, thereby affecting the workers
IN the building trades.
The resolution as adopted by the
Trades Council and also the Building
Trades Council is as follows:
Resolved, That we favor what is
known as the Hartman Plan, which
is that the United States and the allied
Egayern1neists Be asked to eIfcr into an
agreement whereby these demand loans
viii be changed to obligations with a
fixed date of maturity and fixed rate
of interest, which is in keeping with the
present value of money. Also that
sinking funds to take care of these
loans be provided for.
And that from the proceeds of these
bonds the present Liberty Bonds be re-
tired at par.
And that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the presidential and con-
gressional candidates with a request that
should they be elected they act In ac-
cordance with the above resolution.

BROTHERHOOD OF
CARPENTERS Is
sure GOING SOME
New Haven Mans Report at An.
nual Convention Shows Great
Membership Gain.
FINANCES FINE TOO

pressive Ceremonies.

The Connecticut delegation which
attended the twentieth general cof1ven-
ltion of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America,
held at Indianapolis for a nine-day ses-
sion, opening Monday, September 20
arrived home in good order during the
past week and reported most interest
ing convention.
The delegates were George F.. Nor
decai of New Haven, representing the
Connecticut State Council; A. w.
Branch and John L. Richards, repre-
senting Local 7o of New Haven, and
Thomas II. Russell, George A. Parsons
and Thomas P. O'Brien, representing
Local 43 of Hartford.
An immense amount Of business was
transacted affecting the craft all over
the country and many interesting re-
ports were made by delegates on exist
ing conditions throughout the United
States A matter of local interest was
an appeal Of Local 43 of Hartford on a
disability donation, acting upon which
the convention voted to recommend to
the executive council that an appropria-
ton sufficient to cover the donation be
made
All the general officers were re-e1ect-
Cu dS lOlIOWS. ICSluC1ll, W. IL
Hutcheson; first vicepresident, John Il
Cosgrove; second vice-president
George Lakey; general secretary, Frank
Duffy; general treasurer, Thomas
Nea1e. The general executive board
remains the same as formerly.
One of the most interesting reports
made was that of George F. Mordecai
who had the responsible position OF
chairman of the committee on finance
and his report showed the organization
to be in a most prosperous condition
His figures indicated that the member
ship June 80 1916, was 261,722 and on
June 80, 1920, ii was 400, ,104, showing a
gain in four years of. 138, ,382 members
The financial report was also highly
satisfactory, showing the organization
to be possessed of an exceptionally
pleasing surplus.

was the unveiling of bronze tablet to
the memory of Gabriel Edmonston, first
general president of the organization
whose life and career are eloauentls
dwelt upon in the address delivered by
General Secretary Frank Duffy, which
appears in full on Page of this issue
of The Connecticut Labor Press.
