Committees Appointed to Promote Cooperative Buying Plan Sug- gested by President and Build ing Project Brought Forth by Financial Secretary Striby. Barbers Wages and Increased Prices Come in for Much Dis cussion.

The campaign for the establishment of cooperative stores in New Haven got flying start at the meeting of the New Haven Trades Council, Thursday evening, and large committee, repre- senting every affiliated organization, will be apointed by President Ornburn to take the necessary initial steps between now and the next meeting.
 The matter came before the meeting in President Ornburn's annual report which was an exceptionally interesting one and which will be published in full in the next issue of The Connecticut Labor Press.
 Another project of great importance, the establishment of a fund for the erection of Labor Temple in New Ha- ven, was brought up in the arfnual re- port of Financial Secretary August Striby. He recommended that the La bor Day Book fund be set aside for that purpose as a nucleus On motion of Delegate George Mordecai of the Car penters 1t was voted to appoint a com mitte to investigate the matter
 Negotiations between the coal deal CTS and their employees, the teamsters and handlers, have gone as far as pos s1ble at present, according to a report made by President Ornburn who has had charge of the matter for the men. The new agreement which was sent to the employers has not been accepted but the majority voluntarily advanced wages s week. They refused recognition of the union or to accede shorter hours. The men, realizing that strike would bring only hardship to the public, par ticularly the people of moderate means, decided to let the matter stand as 1t is. Meanwhile the headquarters of the In- ternationa1 Union have been notified and Organizer Gillespie, now in Washing ton, will arrive here as soon as possible and take charge of the situation
 Business Agent Gerard Baehr of the Barbers' local asked the cooperation of the delegates in patronizing only shops displaying the union card and said that, in view of the change in prices, some shops which have the card today might not have 1t tomorrow. He asked that the members of the other unions keep a sharp lookout to see that the cards were still shown in the places they patronized. He denied that the recent advance in prices of hair cuts and slaves were ir1- augurated by the union but added that they were necessary in order that the men might get living wage and he hoped the union men of the city would not find fault with them.

Son and Daughter of c. F. of L: Vice President Victims =
 of Flu.

Organized Labor men all over Con necticut this week extend their heart felt sympathy to Thomas Sweeney of Hartford, vice-president of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor, i'll his double bereavement in the death of his son and daughter, who had just grown to the full of young man and woman hood and fell victims to the flu" with in four days of each other. To a capable, kind, and loving father and man as is Tom Sweeney, the blow was a particularly severe one and the sympthy of his thousands of friends about the state, can little console him in his grief. L
 The death of the daughter, who was g years of age, occurred on Saturday last after a few days illness. Her brother was also i'll at the time and the shock of her death, aggravated the dis ease until Wednesday night he also died.

80 MUSICIANS ASK AN
 INCREASE OF $lOO,0OO
Exclusive Boston Orchestra Also Threatens to Join Union
 to Get It.

Strange things happen in the best of families as, Lo! and Behold, the Bos- ton Symphony Orchestra, that exclusive body of extremely talented musicians which annually entertains the wealth of the land with its sweet melodies, has made a demand for increases in wages amounting to about $100,000 and has been turned down. When its du1cet tones failed to wriggle the larger notes out of the Subscribers" as their bosses are called, the orchestra now threatens to affiliate with the Musicians union to get 1t.
 About 80 musicians are involved in the demand for an increase. Their threat to join the musicians organiza- ton will have no effect, according to Judge J. P. Cabot, chairman of the subscribers trustees. The question of union membership will not enter, he says, because recognition of the union will be denied as long as the union leaders insist on claiming the right to say who should play with the orchestra and under what conditions.
 The request for the $1O0000 increase for the 80 was based on the declaration that their compensation is inadequate because of increased living costs.

 NO LONGER IN
 TRADES COUNCIL
Local No. 6 Dropped Upon Re quest of New Haven Building
 Trades Council.
(. F. OF |. NOTIFIED
Other Building Crafts Charge Bad
 Faith Toward Them in E.H. Present Crisis.

A request that delegates from Local No. 6, Bricklayers, Masons, Plasterers, Marble and Tile Settlers and Cement Finishers, be unseated by the New Ha- ven Trades Council was received at the meeting of that organization, Thursday evening, from the New Haven Building Trades Council.
 regular meeting of the Local in ques- ton, held February 2, 1t was voted to withdraw from the Building Trades Council. Before any official notification of this action was received by the Build ing Trades Council the latter body, up- on verbal verifcation from the secretary of the Local, voted to expe1 the Local.
 The communication proceeds to point out that the withdrawal of Local No. 6 at this time, when four organizations affiliated with the Building Trades Council are trying to better their con- d1tlons in face of threatened opposition from their employers, lends support to such opposition.
 Attention Is called to the following section of the constitution of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, as proof that Local No. cannot remain member of the New Haven Trades Council while its membership in the Building Trades SOu11C1l mas been nulI1fl6d.
 Local unions of national or interna- tional unions affiliated with the depart ments attached to the American Fedora ton of Labor in any city where local department exists shall not be eligible for membership in any local department unless they are connected with the char tered central body, nor shall they be eligible to membership in the central body unless they are affiliated with the local department
 A motion was made that> the com munication be received, placed on file and Local No. notified that 1t was nc longer member of the New Haven Trades Council. Delegate Mordecai of the Carpenters reviewed some history applying to the case and emphasized the point that the Bricklayers were sacrificing the build ing trades of New Haven in an effort to advance their own interests. After some discussion the motion was | put and carried.
 | A motion was later made that the Connecticut Federation of Labor be notified of the action taken and its at tention called to the extract from the | constitution of the American Fedora. ton of Labor
 In the discussion that followed Dele. gate Fitzgerald of the Hoisting ane Portable Engineers stated that the Br1cklayers action was responsible fol the defeat of an agreement which hi: | organization had practically agreed upor with the employers of their trade | l he motion was carried

PRINTERS RESUME PLACES ON PAPERS
 AWAITING ACTION
Trouble Temporarily Settled When Publishers Finally
 Call Union In.
NO STRIKE EXISTED
Claim That Typos Broke Con k tract ''Al Rot," Trades
 Council Is Told.

Pending settlement of the conditions that caused many of the printers en- p1oyed on the New Haven daily papers to resign their jobs and seek work else where, which resulted in the suspension of the four dai1ies for several days last week, the printers have returned to their places and the papers are now coming out as usual. A final adjustment is ex- pected to be made at conference to be held next week.
 The printers returned to- work Saturday night following a vote at a special meeting i'll the afternoon, called by the Typographical Union which had been brought into the affair only the day before when the publishers appealed to the International headquarters and or ganizers were sent here. At a meeting with the publishers Friday the officers were given to understand that the pub fishers did not want and would not take back all the men that quit. Therefore at a special meeting held Friday night the men were not ordered back. On Saturday however the publishers de- cided they did want all back and at an-
 other special meeting in the afternoon, the men voted to go back pending the settlement of the matter.
 The statements of the publishers that the resignations were violaion of the
 contract with the Typographical union, | still continue to be handled about and | strenuously denied by the printers. Not ! until the papers found themselves prac- l tically unable to get out was the union, as union, brought into it and soon then ! the matter was temporarily adjusted The men because of the long overtime \ work, and low scale paid which kept ! other printers away from New Haven,
 acted individually before and simply quit. The situation was reported to the Trades Council at its meeting Thurs day night by Delegate John Casey of ! the Typographical union, compositor | on The Register.
 the union broke its contract is an un- l truth" MT. Casey said. There was | no strike but some of the men resigned In some cases the men were given a | hearing before resigning but in others | the publishers were too busy. On | Thursday the Union found itself uni l able to get out Meanwhile the papers had agreed If one was unable to get
 out, the others would suspend They did but on Friday got the mats of the | Ansonia Sentinel and got out papers | Our organizers arrived in town Friday
 and after looking into things advised
 the men still i'll town to go back to work | while the matter was being adjusted anC
 we did so. The printers on the paper: | have been working seven to seven anc
 half days week and we maintain | that the low wages here is responsible l for the overtime. A lot went out ot
 town because they were tired of work
 ing 16 hours a day some days. Unti
 the wage scale is put to certain stipu
 lated amounts as in surrounding town the conditions here will continue. St | far as our breaking of our contract o
 having a strike that's all rot. l thinl
 the trouble will be settled next week.

APRIL-HATCHED CHICKENS
MAKE GOOD FALL LAYERS

A test at the Ohio Experiment Sta
tlon to determine the best date for
Matching chicks shows that for Leg
horns April 20 III thereabouts is a
satisfactory date I'm the latitude of
Wooster. Two weeks either way from
this date would not be expected to
affect materially the results secured
with pullets.
1t was found in one experiment that
there is little to be gained by Matching
Leghorns as early as February %. It
is difficult in normal seasons to get
satisfactory Matching eggs at that
time of the year and the percentage
OF fertility is lower. Chicks hatched
at this date require brooding through
a longer period and much more care
than during the warmer weather. In
most instances these early-hatched
pullets 60 through a molt similar to
that of one-year-old hens in October
and November.
Chicks hatched even as late as June
13 have been profitable for egg pro-
duction, but it is generally more diff
cult to rear as large percentage of
the chicks as when hatched earlier in
the season. Chicks hatched in April
generally prove to be satisfactory
fall and winter layers. The results
secured with Leghorns in these ex-
perments will not apply to some of
the slower maturing breeds.

PHOSPHATED MANURE

That stall manure and acid phos-

pertinent Station in testing manure
and fertilizers has secured an average
yield of corn of 67 bushels per, acre
for 81 years, or an increase of 35
bushels over the yield where no ma

The corn crop was grown in rota-

REINFORCED in the stables at the rate
of 40 pounds of acid phosphate per
ton of manure. Eight tons was ap-
piled to the clover sod in the winter
before it was plowed down for corn.
The experiments show manure loses
much of it's fertilizing properties
when allowed to be leached by rains
and also that manure needs reen-
forcement with phosphorus to be
most effective.
From this application of manure
and acid phosphate there has also
been an avgraee increase of Is BUSH

clover hay over the untreated plots in

further manuring or fertilizing.
