PRIEST ATTACKS
 THE OPEN SHOP
Rev. T, M. Crowley of New Lon don Says Labor Must Begin
 Counter Offensive.

s New London, Nov 26.-Dec1aring that the incoming administration would be ant1-labor and that labor must begin a counter offensive at once, Rev. T. M. Crowley, D. D., attacked the open shop system in sermon delivered at all the masses at St. Mary's Star of the Sea church yesterday. The acceptance of the open shop, declared the speaker, would mean the defeat of everything labor had accomplished in the last 40 to 45 years.
 4The degree of independence won by labor is threatened The trend of the times is reactionary and industrial auto cracy seeks to regain control. The worldngman must take steps at once to assert his influence and strength to maintain the standards he has won' He must maintain his fight for fair work ing conditions, the right of collective bargaining, the right to share in ex- cess profits, and the right to a living wage.
 Referring to the work done by the school of political economy at the Catholic University of America at Washington, under the direction of the economist, Dr. John A. Ryan, Father Crowley urged the acceptance of the new social justice" and asked the la boring men to become acquainted with the main trend of the new and far reaching economic thought.

CIGARMAKERS WANT
 TO INCLUDE THE
 TOBACCO WORKERS
Project to Take the Shippers Local Into Their Organization
 Under Consideration.
IMPORTANT CHANGE
Convention of Locals Affected Throughout New England
 Planned for Early Date.

A convention of representatives of Tobacco Workers locals of New Eng land will be called at an early date in some centrally located city to consider the proposition of the Cigarn1akers' International Union to include these locals in the parent body, making them a part of the Cigarmakers. locals of the vicinity in which they are 1ocatedH
 If adopted this plan would end the existence of these locals as Individual organizations and many of the members do, not look with favor upon the pro posal. The New Haven local, usually known as the Tobacco Shippers and composed of the girls and women enl- p1oyed in the local cigar factories, Is one of the largest and most prosperous locals in New England and its decision will undoubtedly have considerable weight in reaching a final determina- tion for all concerned.
 The New Haven local has held sew era1 meetings at which the proposition has been considered and lively inter est IS being manifested by the member ship. The return of Miss Helen Shields as an active worker irl the or ganization is feature of the situation which Is welcomed by members of or ganized labor generally for Miss Shields, until her recent and prolonged illness, was one of the most energetic and valued members of the movement in New Haven. She has been untiring in her devotion, not only to the inter ests of her own organization, but i'll all
 matters affecting the trade union cause as well and her return is both timely and welcome.

4OpEN SHOp' DRIVE
 IS NON-UNI0N MASK
Subject the Working People to Complete Domination of Elm

Washington, Nov. 26.-The "open" shop drive Is mask for non-lnionism and IS a menace not only to wage earn CTS but threatens the whole structure of industrial peace, according to a statement by the social action depart ment of the National Catholic Welfare Council.
 Of what avail is 1t for workess to be permitted by their employers to be- come members of unions. II the en- ploYers will not deal with unions?" is asked.
 s.eThe .open' shop. drive masks under such names as the American plan and hides behind the pretense of American freedom. Yet its real purpose is to destroy all effective labor unions and thus subject the working People to the Should 1t succeed in Ille measure that its proponents hope, it will thrust far into the ranks of the uilderpaId body of American working people.
 The unions were necessary even during the war, when working peorle found their labor in great demand. They are still more imperative now and they must keep their strength and grow. Otherwise we shall see repe- tition of the old bad days when work CTS were utterly dependent upon thelr employers.
 There is great danger that the whole nation will be harmed by this cam paign of few groups of strong ern- p1oyers- To aim now at putting into greater subjection the workers in in dustry is blind and foolhardy The radical movement and disturbances in Europe ought to hold a lesson for the employers of America And the voice of the American people ought to be raised in the ef1deayoT to drive this lesson home"

 Clark's Talk, However.

On Monday evening the regular meeting of Plumbers and Steamhtters, Local No. 34e, was held in the Trades Council hall. The regular routine of business was readily passed upon as the. time for this particular meeting was limited. Most of the members present were anxious to attend the Trades Council fair at Music Hall

Clark, organizer of the International Boot and Shoe Workers union who addressed the Trades Coun- 'en last week, as exported in The Con necticut Labor Press.

 The only way to quell this move ment," he said, "is to demand the union label i'll purchasing manufactured articles"

Got There Finally
Some Delay in Blaming Labor for
 Big Explosion.

! There was great surprise in labor circles when the gigantic explosion occurred in Wall Street, not because a explosion. was not immediately laid at labor's door. Keen disappointment was expressed at being an exception to the general rule, Indeed, many attempts were made to fasten guilt to some work. err or other. Every clue discovered was traced down and found to point 11rrrli stalab1y to the door of labor, that is, the clues discovered by Mitchell Palmer and William J. Burns. How ever, independent observers were on the job and ali the conclusive evidence proved fallacious and refited.
 Then came another theory (the Lord knows how it ever got into public 9rn that the esplesion at,s Nss an aeei. wagon load of dynamite belonging to the DuPont Company. It was intimated that the DuPont Company might be made the defendant in scores of law suits filed by the heirs of the many people killed in the catastrophe I'm mediately everything became still as death. The explosion was forgotten |; not q word was breathed about 1t. It was apparent that labor was to be cheat ed of the honor of being the instigators
 But not SO The old reliable New York World comes to the rescue with a beautifully sad and pathetic story of war between labor unions. In carrying on the war considerable dynamite was used and one wagon load bound on an errand of destruction inadvertently ex- ploded in Wall Street. The poor driver, a sstolid Pole,' ignorant of the nature of the contents of his load, disappear ed, and is too much frightened to re- turn to corroborate the testimony Any thing to eliminate MT DuPont

 When questioned, Mir Bardo stated that the cut would last until business improvedN He pointed out that other railroads in the country were pursuing a like policy Other officials of the road are of the same opinion as that of Mr. Bardo. Most of those inter- viewed saw remedy only in big pickup in business General Superin- tendents Began stated that although there was cut in the payroll there would be no cut in wages. The wages of those remaining at work would not be. altered and those who are laid of will be recalled as soon as signs of pickup occur Those who are now doing maintenance work will be the hrst affected by the retrenchment as their work IS never of great conse- Quence during the winter months.
