OPEN SHOP HOLDS UP
MIDDLETOWN STRIKE
Master Painters Refuse to Give
Way and Men Stay
Out.

Middletown, April 16.-No agreement
is in sight on the strike of the local
members of the union of painters and
decorators which has been in effect a
week. Of the members who struck last
week many have gone to New Britain
and other cities to work. The issue is
whether or not the master painters
should keep open or closed shops. The
union demands that master painters
keep closed shop and its members re-
fuse to resume work until they do. The
question of wages was settled several
days before the wa1k-out, the painters
getting So for an eight-hour day.
Nine local members secured work in
New Britain and it is said that some of
the strikers have taken up painting
jobs themselves, regardless of the mast
er painters.
Frank M. Mccarthy, Middletown's
leading painter, said last evening that
the disagreement rests wholly on the
question of open shop.
Local plumbers are to ask for an
increase in wages making 90 cents an
hour the price, putting their demands up
to the high cost of living Plumbing
firms here admit hearing that the Jour-
neymen were to ask for an increase but
deny that official demand has yet been
made

HARTFORD COUNTY is
FALLING DOWN ON JOB
Isn't Keeping Jail Filled to
Help Out Chair
. Company.

Hartford county is falling down on
the job of keeping the jail filled with
workers to benefit the contract system
still in vogue there. Therefore this
week the Metropolitan Chair Company,
which has the contract for the labor at
the Jail is considering a plan for the
hiring of outside labor which it has sub
mitted to the county commissioners
with whom it has the contract for the
labor.
The company proposes to work the
prisoners on the first floor of the jail
and to work the outside labor on the
second floor of the workshop. The
commissioners have not passed upon the
proposition, but it is not expected that
there will be any obj ection to it, the
understanding is that there will be no
the prisoners. The Metropolitan Chair
Company has already advertised for
outside help.
Who wants to go to jail to help the
chair company compete with a regular
and industrious worker?

TORRINCTON UNIONS
in BIG ORGANIZATION
Votes to Employ General Busi
ness Agent to Look After
Their Interests.

Torrington, April f6.-At largely
attended and enthusiastic mass meeting
of representatives of the various Or
ganized Labor bodies in this section
held on Wednesday night, the plan to
combine the various organizations into
a central working body and employing
one general business agent to look alter
the interest of all the craftsmen was
emphatical1y endorsed. A committee
was appointed to present the matter
formally before the various local unions
and get their formal endorsement after
which the plan will be in immediate
effect.
The meeting was addressed by Sec
retary Ira M. Ornburn of the & +. OF
l., Organizer Joseph Tone of New Ha-
ven and the machinists organization,
and by Thomas O'Brien of Hartford,
president of the State Conference of
Carpenters. While the Central Labor
Union has been active in caring for
such matters as came up, the local
unions have not had any representative
working for them. When need arose
they were forced to name impromptu
committees who were handicapped by
not having details and inside working
plans at hand The benefit of having
paid organizer always on the JOB was
apparent to everyone present and heart
lily endorsed.
The meeting also discussed the pol1ti-
cal situation generally and agreed to the
A. F. of L. non-partisan plan. In
dividua1 candidates were not discussed
being left to a meeting to be held later.

CITY HALL REPORT
CAUSES FURORE IN
CERTAIN CIRCLES
Propagandists for Elm Street Site
Caught in Their Own
Net.

There's gnashing of teeth and bear
ing of claws among the organization OF
whatever it was that was endeavorine
to put the Elm street site for the pro-
posed new city hall, over on the city
All the propaganda and loud voiced
support for the Elm street proposition
has gone to naught for this week the
special aldermanic committee having
the matter in charge, reported in favor
of building any new city hall on the
present site and taking such portions
of land on Court and George street as
needed to it properly.
While there is no prospect of any city
hall being built while the present high
costs of labor and material prevail, the
committee thought it best to settle the
site matter. Therefore the report which
some of the proponents of the Elm
former clamor for their pet project,
was just as expected"
The Register which was more than
persistent in the Elm street favoritism,
also gave report of the report, just
as the committee and city officials say
they expected. On Thursday night that
paper had the following editorial classic
on its first page, supposed or alleged to
be news page:
Surprise was expressed that
the committee of aldermen had the
temerity to fly in the face of the pre-
ponderance of sentiment (for the Elm
street site) and report III favor of the
present site, knowing we'll what bur-
den will be put on the taxpayers if the
hall is ever erected there" 1t goes on
further to comment and hint that real
estate sharks got to the committee and
influenced its report and especially takes
had at first favored the Elm street site.
Now as to that "preponderance Of
sentiment" The committee has in its
possession hundreds of letters from re-
sponsible business men and taxpayers
urging the retention of the present site.
These letters were offered to the Reg
lister for publication or digest as it saw
fit, but the Register reporter who was
offered them, coolly turned them down
telling the committee point blank there
was no use his wasting any energy over
them inasmuch as his paper wouldn't
print anything IN favor about any other
site than the Elm street site.
Of course that didn't have any inf1u-
ence with the committee in its report.
The committee had the preponderance
of opinion right with it and didn't need
to pay attention to the Register head
lines and pfopag da.-- = - z - =
Judge A. McC. Mathewson, another
sponsor for the Elm street site, de-
clares that a referendum will be de-
The committee expected there
would be and according to members of
it, will welcome such a vote.

OTTERSON ASKS
INJUNCTION BAR
LIFTED ON LABOR
Winchester and Chamber of Com
merce Head Seeks Flood of
Cheap Help.
WOULD OPEN GATES
Only Ignorant Need Apply, Ap-
parently, According to
Request Made.

Pleading the shortage of unskilled
labor in this country, which shortage
they represented is seriously hamper
ing production because the industries
cannot get men to do the work, COM
mittee of big Business" headed by
John E. Otterson, president of the
Winchester interests and new head of
the Chamber of Commerce, waited on
the immigration officials few days ago
and asked them to lift the 1iteracy test
required of immigrants coming into this
country. They said FIVE million labor
ers are needed and the only way to get
them is TO open the gates Of The country
so that these anskilled men could get in
Not word was said by the commit
tee of the trouble the country is now
having with just such people as the Big
Business interests are now trying to get
in. Neither was anything said about
the shortage of laborers being due to
the fact that the war shut off the influx
inspired by business, and the millions
that were here were placed on high
paying jobs by the manufacturers while
our own countrymen went to fight the
battles over the seas. They are not now
willing to step out and give the returned
soldiers their jobs back again and go to
work themselves for the small pay the
manufacturers would like to pay them.
Neither was anything said to the
committee that it is chiefly among this
uneducated class that the seeds of boil
shevism run rampant, they easily fall
ing prey to the lures of the agitators
and then running amuck. Neither did
they refer to the fact that right here
in the Naugatuck Valley thousands of
these foreigners are now tying up the
brass industry and but for the inter
vention of the officers of the American
and Connecticut Federations of Labor
serious results might already have been
had there.
All they wanted was the literacy test
lifted SO that the steerage boats of the
past could be restored, the country
flooded with another horde of cheap
unskilled labor and the skilled Amer
lean worker who is now in bad because
he is demanding a living wage, forced
to compete with this labor or starve
more than he is doing now.
The immigration officials made no de-
cision but if the decision is left to the
department of justice, there is little
doubt but that instead of lifting this
test, these men who know would make
it more drastic and protect the country
and the people now in it.
