A notable guest at the convention will
be John T. Cosgrove of Indianapolis,
first general vice-president, who will ad-
dress the convention and there will be
other speakers of prominence. The an
nual address of William j. Sullivan Of
Kew Haven, president or the state Con-
ference, is expected to be of more than
usual interest in view of matters that
have come up2during the past year.
Fraterna1 delegates will be present
from the state councils of Massachu-
setts, New Jersey and New York and
will inform the convention OF cond1-
tions existing in those states.
ADDropriations on an elaborate plan
have been made by the Bridgeport Dis
trict Council of Carpenters for the en-
tertainment of the delegates who will
number about 100.
Much interest is manifested IN the
election of officers and contests are look
ed for, as usual, for some OF the places.
There is a strong belief that President
Sullivan will be elected, his record dur
ing the past several years which ne mas
held the Office being most enviable one.
He has Strengthened out many serious
difficulties throughout the state, many
involving combinations with contractors
of other states and the result has IN
yariably been of benefit to the organ1za-
ton which he represents. His service
during the war time complications was
of exceptional value. During the past
year he has been particularly active ana
a notable achievement in the way OF or
qanization was that of bringing back
to the State Council the Carpenters and
Ioiners of Danbury, who were outside
the fold for FIVE or six years.
The present officers are: President,
William J. Sullivan of New Haven !;
Vice President, Robert McNeeley of
Norwich; Second Vice President,
Thomas Law of Bridgeport; Secretary,
George Chandler of Greenwich; Treas
urer, o. w. Jones of Hartford.

ANSONIA BRUSH
WIELDERS PAY
Now Getting rs Cents an Hour
and Will Ask for a
Dollar.

Ansonia, Jan. 30.-The journeymen
painters and decorators of the associ-
ated towns are considering a demand
for an increase in wages from Is cents
to 81 an hour. The men say an in
crease is necessary to meet the rising
cost of living. 1t is also stated that the
journeymen painters believe they should
be paid as much as other workers in the
building trade and while the ST an hour
rate has not been formally presented
to the master painters, definite action in
the matter is expected to be taken in a
few days. The men, it is said, will ask
that the new scale go into effect April l..
The master painters, according to re-
ports, are not enthusiastic over the
proposition. Most of the bosses are
members of the Master Painters asso-
citation formed a few months ago. The
bosses say that if another boost is made
in wages, there will be very little paint
ing to be done. It costs three times as
much to paint now as it did few years
ago and property owners are not anxi-
Gus to give contracts. If prices go still
higher, it is said, there will be still less
to do. The journeymen painters believe
however that they are entitled to a raise
and do not think the 81 rate is too high.
There are about IS journeymen painters
in the associated towns, all of whom
are members of the union.

BUILDING STRIKE
ON in DETROIT
Connecticut Workers Warned
Against Misleading "Ads"
Of Employers.

Bodies of Organized Labor through
out Connecticut are receiving communi-
cation from the Detroit Building Trades
Council warning members of the build
ing trades to stay away from that city.
1t states:
1--WE are still on strike in the cities
of Detroit, Pontiac, and Flint, Mich1-
gan, against the Dupont Engineering
company We are also on strike in De
troit against the Albert A. Albrecht Co.
I'VE are progressing favorably, but
the OPPOSITION are putting up strenuous
fight against us backed up by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
in these cities also the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association of the state
of Michigan.
"The Dupont Engineering company
are so badly crippled that they are using
every subterfuge to bring men into
Michigan; telling them that there is no
trouble on their jobs; getting them to
sign up 90 day contract and holding
their baggage on the job If the men re-
fuse to go to work when they find out
that strike is in progress: They, are
also bringing men to Michigan from
the Island Of Malta, a British posses
sion. They are getting men through the
Buick Motor Car Co., of Flint Michi-
gan, who advertise for building trades
men and then send them to the Dupont
Engineering company Jobs.
"These methods show how hard
pressed this company is, however, the
big fight is yet to come, so we warn all
building tradesmen and others to stay
away from Detroit especially and also
from Flint and Pontiac, Michigan; in
fact it would be advisable to stay away
from any part of Michigan on account
of the contemplated trouble that looms
for this year.
This is one of the biggest fights in
the history of the Building Trades
Council in Detroit and we are going to
win. Stay away from Michigan and
help us to win quicker.
PAY no attention to advertisements
for Detroit, Flint and Pontiac, under
any subterfuge whatever. Any infor--
nation that you can give us in regard
to these advertisements will be appre-
ciated. Watch for them in the papers"

sEDITIoN BILL rs GRoGGY.

Washington, Jan. 30.-It is declared
that pending sedition legislation will be
drydocked for repairs, and if the plan
is again launched its friends Will not
know it.
One of the hardest blows it has re-
ceived was Attorney General Palmer's S
refusal to appear before the house com
mittee in defense of the Stirling-Gra-
ham bill, passed by the senate: 1t IS
stated that the attorney general would
be asked to explain why he does not
resort to federal legislation to prosecute
persons he charges with attempting to
overthrow the government, and how he
would strengthen present laws with new
sedition legislation.
In a formal statement Congressman
Campbell, chairman of the house COM
mittee having the sedition bills in
charge, said:
what is his (Attorney General
Pa1mer's) excuse for delaying prosecu-
ton where the facts require prosecu-
ton? Was the fact that it was en-
barrassing for him to answer these
questions the chief reason for his fail
ure to appear before the committee?' p

AN INTERESTING
REPORT ON THE
HOURS OF LABOR
Time Worked in Ill Trades
Shown in Figures Compiled
by A. F. of L.
LONG HOURS In MANY
Women and Children Employed
in 15 Vacations Where Hours
Exceed 80 Per Week.
(By Staff Correspondent }

Washington, Jan. 3O-Interestine
facts relating to the nations industries
are brought to light in a compilation
just completed at the office of the
American Federation of Labor. The
chart was made UP from reports on
the conditions obtaining in Ill trades
and occupations, as submitted by offic-
ials of the unions in these trades.
The number of workers involved in
these trades borders close on 100000.
Additional reports from a score of 9TH
er unions with a membership of 10000
are not included in the report.
The table shows roughly, that long
hours of work and other evils still OBJ
tain in' many trades. Of 90 trades
which gave complete figures, % report
others work 48 hours per week, while
27 trades work more than so hours per
week. Of these the following are most
important:
Fire Fighters, "a hours daily, 7 days
Continuous employment) BARRIERS, 10
Ia hours daily; retail clerks, 10 hours
daily, averaging 90 to 63 hours weekly;
glove makers, 80 hours daily, a. to so
weekly; marine engineers, 8-12 hours
daily for days per week; hotel and
restaurant employees, over 9 hours daily
for six and fraction days per week;
iron, steel and tin industry, 8-12 hours
lace operators, 81 hours per week;
laundry workers, 48 to 81 hours weekly;
masters, mates and pilots, 8-13 hours
daily; railway mail association mo linn
it,; seamen, 8-12 hours daily; stage en-
ployes indefinite.
1t is also noteworthy that woman
labor and child labor obtain in many of
the trades which demand long hours of
toll. Thus Is of the trades which re-
quire more than so hours of labor per
week also use women and children
workers.
Of the Ill trades listed, II required
overtime work. Most of the overtime,
however, is compensated for by time
and-one-half or double time rates of
pay. Ten trades give unemployment
benefits fo their members, In practically
every case the amount of such benefit,
however, being limited
To the question: "Is the 8-hour day
too long; if so, what standard would
you recommend" the general answer
favored the 44-hour week The brick
and clay workers said they would be
glad to get 8-hours"; the diamond
workers hoped for a maximum of 40
hours; while the craftsmen, federal
employees, granite cutters, jewelry work
ers, miners and firemen desired from
SO to 40 hours as a maximum.
In So of the crafts the unions attempt
to seek employment for out-ofwork
members, either through their business
agent, or through lists issued at head
quarters or published in the official
journals.

LIKES NoN-UN1oN SHOP.

Baltimore, Jan. 30.-The war is over
and now the Baltimore Dry Dock &
Ship Building company declares for the
non-union shop. President Evans does
not use this term He prefers to use
the sugar-coated "open shop" term.
Electrical workers protested against
the employment of non-unionists and
the ship yard official announces that if
any of these employees want to return
to work they must apply to the COM
pany's employment bureau IF they fill
the requirements they will be hired,
whether they belong to the union or not
The company will be the sole judge of
what is a requirement" of employees

was on.

pany, located at the northeast corner of
Main and Worthington streets to SyI-
vester Z. Poll of this city, owner of the
Poll circuit of theatres.
+ Mr. Pofis primary purpose IN ac<
qulring the property, as stated today at
the main Offices here, is to open an en-
trance to his Springfield theatre direct
Ifrom Main street He also plans extern
sive remodeling of the Springfield play
house.
The assessed value of the property is

offices in the Third National Bank build
ing, through whom the sale was nego-
tiated, stated that he was not at liberty
to divulge the price of the prop
erty 1t is assumed that it runs over
two millions.
Mr.. Poll is extremely popular with
the working people of the cities in which
he has theatres, not only because of the
excellent entertainment which he sup
plies in beautiful theatres at modest
prices, but he also has the reputation
of being exceptionally fair to his en-
ployes, as was recently demonstrated by
voluntary raise IN wages because he
didn't think his men were getting
enough to meet the increased cost of
living. His houses are ali strictly
union, employing only members of the
International Association of Theatrical
Employees, Moving Picture Operators,
Musicians Union and Electrical Work
ers' Union. 1t is also noteworthy fact
that the Poll theatres are union built
and repaired.
The editor is also under the impress
sion that Mr.. Poll smokes union made
cigars but as it has been long time
since he has had an opportunity to Sc
cure direct information on this subject
he is not prepared to swear to it.

Fl. G. OF L. AFFECTS BIRTHS

New York, Jan. 30.-This states birth
rate has been reduced by $4,000 since
January l, 1918, because of the war and
the high cost of living, according to
DIR. H. M. Biggs, state commissioner of
health.
The extreme low mark, he said, was
reached in July, 1919, when births drop
ped to 1877 per 1000 of population, the
lowest figure in the states history. The
rate for the first eight months of 1919
was 20.2, which is II per cent. lower
than for the corresponding months in
1918 and 16 per cent. lower than the
average for the preceding FIVE years.
DIR. Biggs said the death rate for the
same period was the lowest in many
years.

GARMENT STRIKERS GAIN.

New York, Jan. 3O.-Cloak and skirt
makers affiliated with the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union, have
secured wage increases of $3.50 to SIS a
week through arbitration. About $4,000
workers are affected. The boards
action is justification of the workers
claim that living costs demand wage in
creases. The arbitrators appealed to the
manufacturers and employees to coop
crate that the industry may absorb the
increase and thus avoid passing the bur-
den to the purchasing public.
THE board understands that this will
be done by increased production per
capita on the part of the workers, and
the application of the most careful
methods on the part of the employers
to effect the reduction of costs entered
into the manufactured article, and that
both sides, in connection with this pur-
pose, will cooperate loyalty, utilizing
the resources of publicity at the COM
mand of both organizations"

OPPOSE SINGLE CONTRACT.

Beverly, Mass, JAM 30.-Organized
machinists have notified the United
Shoe Machinery company that they will
not accept individual contracts. The
workers claim that this contract nullifes
every form of collective action. 1t pro-
vides that the workers shall remain in
the company's employ for one year and
accept all factory rules. There is no
suggestion that the worker be given
voice in rules that refer to working
conditions and wages.
