BARRIERS AGREEMENT
NOW IN OPERATION
Get Uniform Wage Agreement
and Hour Off on Saturday
Night Closing.

Without the loss of shop, the new
wage scale of the BARRIERS Union has
gone into effect in this city and is now
in operation with hearty accord be-
tween bosses and journeymen. The
new agreement became operative actual
" on April S but required some days
to become general and the lists checked
up but now according to officials of the
BARRIERS Union everything is running
smoothly. s..E ~
The new agreement provides for a
fiat pay of $22 week with bonus of
so per cent. of all receipts taken in by
an individual barber over $31 week.
The old arrangement was on gradu-
ated scale of pay with an irregular
bonus but now the situation is uniform
and much good should result.
The closing hour over which some
discussion arose was adjusted by both
sides giving way little. The journey
men agreed to continue to work until
7 o'clock in the evening and the bosses
agreed to close an hour earlier on
Saturday nights, making the hours now
from a. m. to 7 p. m. during the week
and from a. m. to 9 p. m. instead of
10 p. m. on Saturday night.

new HAVEN TEACHERS
GET PROMISED RAISE
City Will Make Good When New
Contracts Are Made for
Coming Year.

The appeal of New Ravens school
teachers for adequate pay, which ap-
peal was endorsed by the Trades Coun-
Gil and other labor organizations here
is to be met, finally and to the salts
faction of the teachers, Mayor FitzGer-
aid keeping his promise to the school
mar'ms and masters, too, that they
would get the increase if there was any
way to get it for them. While it was
illegal and therefore impossible to grant
them increases under the present con7
tracts the mayor and board of educa-
ton at the last meeting solved the prob
lem.
The teachers will make new contracts
in June and when these are made they
will provide for increases that will
cover the amount of what they asked
back to January l. This contract will
be until next January thus giving the
teachers a years extra pay in six
months. On January l another con-
tract carrying the scale the teachers
asked will go into operation and every
body will be happy.
The increases will probably cause a
deficit in the city funds but as every
one admits the increases are necessary
and justified they expect to foot the
bills. While the entire amount will be
somewhere about 100000 the mayor
and city officials expect to do some tall
and 1ofting curtailing elsewhere so that
the deficit will be cut to less than half

The workings of a newspaper office
are mystery to the general public.
In the past stage and film reporters
have been made to appear ridiculous
with their notebooks and oficious air.
Now comes picture taken in the office
of a New York daily newspaper re-
vealing for the first time the true at
mosphere of the workings of the press.
The picture is "Deadline at Eleven
the star is Corinne Griffith and the pic
ture will be shown as the top feature
of the cinema program at the Hyperion
this Sunday night. Miss Griffith plays
the role of a newspaper reporter. A
murder is committed and the newspa-
per reporter sets out to solve the mys-
terry. This forms a thrilling story as
well as giving the inside workings of a
modern newspaper staff. The second
feature brings William Russell unques-
tionably one of the most popular and
forceful stars of the screen in The
Valley of Tomorrow" There will be a
Big V comedy, knights and Knighties"
and the Kilograms with other features
and following the usual custom seats
in the orchestra may be procured in
advance at regular prices.
Due to the splendid manner in which
their former musical comedy efforts,
ooh Boy" and Very Good Eddie"
were received the Hyperion Players will
the coming week offer Have Heart"
one of the best liked musical comedies
that ever played this city at top price,
and Manager Menges has the fullest
confidence that his players will stage the
biggest success in the history of the

Henry w. Savage production in which
Billy B. Van had the comedy role of

Announcement that another of Mary
Roberts Rinehart's stories has been
visua1ized for screen purposes never
fails to arouse high interest on the part
of picture patrons and followers of the
drama. In view of this the coming of
Dangerous Days." one of the strong
est of the Rinehart writings to the
Palace on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday forms one of the high
ly important screen attractions pre-
sented at the, Palace this season.
Dangerous Days is story with a
strength of interest well worthy of its
author The book lis typically American
an dthe picture is even more so for its
contrast between the smoke and thun-
der of the great steel mills and the
splendid, luxurious homes of the
wealthy.
Mary Roberts Rinehart has made
Dangerous Days" a drama laid in the
time of friction between social forces
and the days of a national crisis. No
other combination could serve so well
to bring out the tense, dramatic and
exciting happenings that occur in the
screen presentation of the tense story.
The main attraction of a very strong
vaudeville bill for Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday is offered by Hazel
Green and Boys in an act they have
named "Mirthfu1, Musical Novelty
The idea runs true to its title. In Kauf-
mann Brothers Palace patrons are in
for real old fashioned laugh period.
Holiday and Burns combine black and
white face fun until their efforts round
out into a roaring finish. The Geralds,
who have won during their vaudeville
roamings the title of "The Gypsy Ser
enaders," enjoy the unique distinction
of playing 81 mandolins at one time.
This man and woman are not only
musical geniuses but some stuntsters as
well Walter Daniels and Minna Wal
tiers in the novelty "The Old Timer"
have bit of entertainment far away
from the ordinary. Ross and Matte in
a turn of acrobatics and dancing are
high speed entertainers.
The usual mid-week change of the
Palace bill brings one of the daintiest
of musical comedy morsels Under the
Apple Tree" to head the bill. Others
include Cooley and Jaxon in "The Min
strel and the Maid" and Al James and
Company in "A Chic Salesman" The
screen feature for the last half brings
Mary Anderson to the Palace in her
new production Bubbles" a light but
extremely interesting and perfectly pro-
duced picture.

SEEK TO IMPROVE
CHILD LABOR LAW
More Stringent Regulation Need
ed, Declares National
Official.

Hartford, April 16.-In an effort to
promote the interests of children by
lettering the conditions of child labor
in this state, Miss Henrietta M. Kaplan
of New York who represents the ma
tional child labor committe, will be in
this city for the next three weeks and
address audiences in different parts of
the state.
Miss Kaplan, in explaining her mis-
sion, said that the federal law of to-
day does not protect children in do
mestic service or in agricultural
work Another point which she illus
trated was that there is no law COW
ering the age and working hours of
the street worker, except in \ Ken
lucky, where only boys of II years old
and girls of 18 can engage in the SELL
ing of newspapers or any other street
work. Newspaper selling, bootblacking,
peddling and market stand tending are
the kinds of work in which children are
engaged and which are not given any
consideration in the laws covering child
labor.
Nearly 100000 children are un-
touched by the new federal child labor
law. These can be reached only by
state legislation.
Less than half of the states require
physical fitness of children before
they can enter upon work. There is
no systematic examination of child
workers under 10 years of age, yet
many children leave school at the age
of IA years, and go from the fifth and
sixth grades into the streets and fac
tories. The national child labor COM
mittee is fighting for those things that
only state legislation can bring and that
is the child's right to schooling and
health .
In its endeavor to bring child labor to
higher standard, the national child la
Dor committee at its conference with
the children's bureau in May, 1919, de-
cided among other things, the follow
ing: -
That an age minimum of 10 years be
maintained in any occupation when

fore Leaders Issued
Warning.

Faithful to the public, the roads and
their unions, the workers on the New
Haven railroad system, with the ex-
ception of some in New York and few
other places, remained close to their
jobs this week past when the country
was in the throes of a gigantic up
heaval under the guise of a strike. Al
though urged and exhorted to join the
outlaws" on the other railroads and
tie up everything, they refused to do so.
Their good common sense was justified
toward the week end when the out
laws" began to give ground, the ten
sion to lessen up and the strike" about
broken.
AS the main artery through New
England strenuous efforts were made to
get the aNew Haven men, but they
were futile While the road was ham
pered because deliveries from and to
other roads could not be made, but it
was no fault of the men who turned
deaf ears to the radicals from other
roads and stuck to their jobs. Men
from trains curtailed, went to work
with a will to handle other trains and
get foodstuffs and other emergency
freight through.
That the strike is the work of agi-
tators, paid or otherwise, intent upon
the disruption of Organized Labor, is
fatty declared by Brotherhood leaders
who held their men firm throughout
this section despite strenuous efforts
from the outside to get them to join
the strike. Hopeless of getting the
big Four" involved, these Bolshevists
went to work among the switch and
yard men and succeeded in Gripping
many lines For days they have been
working on the New Haven system and
had given evidence of making some
Roadway when the cool and loyal work
ers got onto them and practically fired
them out.
At special meeting held on Tues
day night at Mechanics Hall on Temple
street an effort was made by these out
side agitators to get strike vote over.
1t was hoWled down by the workers
who were getting wise to the movement
and instead of voting to strike, the
meeting, (and it was big one) SIM
ply dissolved and the men went back to
work. That didn't dishearten the "out-
laws" but they kept on until Thursday
when official orders denouncing the
strike were issued by the heads of the
railroad brotherhoods and quiet began
to settle all over the New Haven lines.
The brotherhood chiefs left no doubt
as to the cause of the trouble, first say
ing it started in Chicago which just
now is the heart of all Bolshevist, l. w.
w. and other RED" movements to dis
rupt Organized Labor and the country.
They pointed out that the trouble had
nothing to do with wages or grievances
but was solely an attempt to disrupt the
Switchrnen's union and by forcing 9TH
err unions in, to form the lone big
union, or in other words, Soviet, in
this country. They counselled the men
to stick to their jobs and help pull the
roads out of the mire, and the men are
sticking. .4 --..
