BAKERS TO START SHOP OF OWN TO
 BREAK LOCKOUT
Bosses Refuse to Meet Workers and Men Establish
 Plant.

New Haven will be supplied with "union-made" and sanitari1y made bread beginning next week probably on Tuesday when the Journeymen Bakers of Local No. II, who for two weeks have been locked out of their shops by the master bakers, establish and begin operations in their own bakery and within few hours will have the trade about town fully supplied. This step was taken following the absolute re- fusal of the master bakers to grant the men or their representatives a confer ence to discuss the disagreement and will be the first step in an energetic campaign to have "union-made" bread demanded universally throughout the city.
 The journeymen held off going into competition with the employing bakers had been exhausted Their overtures for a conference were turned down flat by the employers and when they decided they had been fooled about long enough to call it quits, they went about the establishment of a bakery of their own. It was intended to start opera tions on Monday but delay in the ar rival of pans and other essentials held it up day.
 A place has been secured and the new portable ovens operated by electric ity installed and in fact everything now about in hand to ensure start of operations on Tuesday. The capacity of the plant will be sufficient with extra shifts to turn out sufficient bread to supply the store trade all over town and enter directly into competition with the "non-union" bread and when this Is well under way the restaurant trade will be sought and inroads made everywhere into the trade. Once started 1t IS ex- pected that the shop will become a per manent addition to the bakery business here and be a competitor in the future as well as as long as the lockout con- tinues.
 Some of the smaller bakeries are be- ginning to weaken but most are still be- ing held by the Big Five" who are planning to disrupt the organization. It was reported to the organizers this week, that the bakers have been assured of recompense of two-thirds of their losses during the lockout If they carry on the fight to break up the Labor or ganizations. This, if true, probably accounts for their seeming unconcern about the outcome,
 Two firms heretofore not reaching an agreement with the workers were signed up this week. They are the Der tram bakers at Orchard street and whalley avenue, and Shartenberg & Robinson on Chapel and State streets. With the exception of the Big Five" the others still holding out are small bakeries and do only neighborhood trade but even this is beginning to fall off and several more are expected to "get in out of the wet'' before many days

NEWSPAPER TALE OF CAR STRIKE Is
 NOT WARRANTED
Wage Negotiations Not Yet Con- cluded So Rumors Are
 Bunk

While the negotiations between the Trolleymen's Conference Board and the Connecticut Company officials over the proposed new wage and working agree ment to take effect on June l, are by no means near an end, nor at the break ing point, articles appearing i'll the daily press, especially in New Haven, are giving the rank and file of the trolley men the impression that the company is intending to turn down their propo- sals and use the dissension as a means to stop the 'jitney'' competition.
 The trolley company has for some days past had crews of conductors and motormen stationed along the routes covered by the jitney busses, checking up the number of passengers now being carried by these cars and this together with the articles being published has gotten the rank and file of the workers somewhat restless. These articles re ferred to the success of the trolley com panies in some Massachusetts towns in having the jitneys ruled off the streets when threats were made to stop the trolley service if the competition was allowed to exist The men claim to see the intimation that the company here intends to use possible clash with the workers as a weapon to drive the jit- neys out and are hopeful of avoiding it.
 The record of the company i'll the past has been to readily treat with the employees and arbitrate all differences with them and there is as yet no reason for the men to believe that otherwise will be done this year. All stories or intimations to the effect that the com pany is intending to use the coming deliberations as pretext to force an by the leaders as "pure bunk" and to be considered accordingly.

SHIP YARD STRIKERS STICK

San Francisco, May 21.-With the approach of summer the 10000 ship yard strikers, who have been out for eight months, report prospects are brighter than at any time since the ship yard managers refused to pay wage increase that they agreed to. The strikebreakers are leaving the plants for activities less strenuous, and many of the strikers are entering employments that open up during the summer months. The companies announce that ships are being produced, but the strikers know the purpose of this propaganda.
 The yards are completely disorgan- ized, and every day that the managers postpone an inevitable adjustment the number of strikers who are leaving this vicinity for other localities increases.

The convention will be preceded by two important minor gatherings tomor- row, Sunday. These are of the Trades Union Liberty League and the informal convention of the Federation Execu- tive board, the Waterbury Central La bor Union, and international and local representatives of all the organized metal trades workers in the state. This meeting is intended primarily to adopt plans for recommendation to the larger convention for united and energetic organization and defense against the drive against Organized Labor and especially the metal trades workers in the factories now being fostered by the Manufacturers Association.
 In fact this matter will perhaps be the most important of the convention. The situation in Waterbury where al- most 15,000 workers, skilled and un- skilled, are now out on strike, with the combined forces of the manufacturers of the state, with all their financial and other resources, backing up the Water bury and Valley interests in their re- fusal to recognize or meet with any committee or anyone else but the em- p1oyes as individuals, Is most acute. International union representatives of the A. F. of L. organizations who have been sent on to try to effect settle ment are ignored by the employers and have secured information that Is con-

STRIKERS AND PROFITEERs

Baltimore, May 21.-The American Economic League makes this statement in it's press service that is worth re- membering:
 Some editors, probably not so inno- cent as they pretend, talk as though they honestly believe a striking 1aborer to be in the same class with a prof. teering landlord. Not fer their enlight- enment, but to deprive them of the op- portunity to pretend ignorance, let it be explained that there is a fundamen- tai difference between the two. The striking 1aborer is trying to retain a greater share of what he earns. The prohteering landlord is trying to get more of what others earn"

L. F. OF l. CONVENTION TO
 FACE WEIGHTY PROBLEMS
LABOR PARTY IS NOT TO PUT UP A TICKET Fitzpatrick Agrees With A. F. of l.. That No Good Would
 Result.

As result of a conference between Matthew Woll and George Perkins, representing the American Federation of Labor, and John Fitzpatrick of Chicago, representing the Labor party, the latter organization will support la bor's non-partisan plan as proposed by the Federation.
 The conference took place at the sug- gestion of the Labor party officials, who became convinced Samuel Gompers was right in his assertions that such party would only serve to divide the vote of the progressive element of the citizen ship with the result that reactionary candidates would be the benefciaries.
 In widely separated sections the la bor party mayI name local candidates, but such action will have little effect on the general result throughout the country, as the damage done will be small.
 The Chicago convention of the labor party will be held as scheduled, but no ticket will be named if present ar engagements are carried out.
