OUTLOOK GOOD FOR
O'MEARA TO WIN
Labor Senatorial Candidate s
Fairness to All Constituents
a Strong Factor.

Judging from reports received from
the Eighth Senatorial district it looks
as though the prospects for seating the
president of the Connecticut Federation
of Labor, Patrick F. O'Meara, in the
senate were excellent.
Mr.. O'Meara's strength lies in the
fact that while he will go to the senate
as prominent labor man, if elected
he will go first of all as an unbiased and
absolutely fair representative of all his
constituents. His record of the past
has proven that his sense of justice and
fairness is such that no consideration
can possibly influence. him to act in
accordance to any other motive. This
will bring to him many votes regardless
of party affi1iation and the Eighth dis
trict is to be congratulated upon having
the opportunity of sending a man of
Mr.. O'Meara's ca1iber to the senate.
In doing so, it is admitted even by those
who oppose him because of party prin-
ciples, it will be giving to the state at
large the services of an honest, capable
legislator whose action and example will
be be4of-inestin1ahle value
Nothing is being left undone to make
Mr.. O'Meara's election sure and that
the success of those efforts will place
in office man who will be credit to
New Haven, the state and organized
labor alike nobody who knows the cam
didate can doubt.

Trade Union Philosophy
Well Expressed by Bakers

Chicago, Oct. 15.-In their re-
port to the convention of the
Bakery and Confectionery Work
ers' International union, the ex-
ecutives of this organization
present this fine statement on
trade union philosophy:
THE trade union movement
can not set any hard and fast
lines for itself. 1t has to reckon
with the workers as they are
and not as it would wish them
to be. The growth and expan-
sion of the trade union move
ment are apace with the growth
and advancement of the wage
workers themselves, and the CO.
operation of the wage workers
in given industry must come
through natural, orderly and
well-defined course as a result of
necessity and experience.
"Any propaganda aiming at the
destruction of a movement which
has taken generations to build
up is fallacious, injurious and
reactionary.
"We do not venture to say the
A. F. of L. represents the finality
in the evolution of unionism-no
more so than anything else in the
course of human progress ever
represents a fnality-but we do
maintain that through the trade
union movement, properly con-
Quoted, we can secure the COM
plete fu1fllment of our desires.
and aspirations"

CAN'T COMMIT
LABOR'S VOTE
Compers Calls Coolidge police
Batter" and Denies Attempt
to Deliver Labor Vote.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 15.-In an ad-
dress delivered here Wednesday before
the convention of the International
Brotherhood of Bookbinders, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, denied reports that
he could deliver the labor vote to the
democratic party" and said no person
ever heard such an utterance coming
from him.
Mr. Gompers said that he owed al
legiance to no political party, that he
was partisan to principles and labor.
I'VE are not bolshevists,' continued
Mr.. Gompers, NOR have we our hands
on the throat of our government We
purpose to exercise our rights solely as
American citizens.
Il control only one vote and that vote
is my own. I can only align myself
against the man who has lined himself
with the reactionary interests and
against the interests of the working
people. | am going to urge all | can
not to cast their vote for Harding and
that police-baiter. Coolidge, but for
Cox and Roosevelt"

LABOR'S STANDARDS
ARE NOT STATIONARY
Belief That Wages Should Be
Fixed on Cost-of Living
Basis Into1erable.

There is a widespread belief that
wages should be fixed on cost-of-
living basis. This idea is pernicious and
into1erable. 1t means putting progress
in chains and liberty IN fetters. It
means fixing a standard of living and a
standard of life and liberty which must
remain fixed. Americas workers can
not accept that proposition.
They demand a progressively advanc-
ing standard of life. They have no
abiding faith in better future for all
mankind. They discard and denounce
system of fixing wages solely on the
basis of family budgets and bread bills.
Workers are entitled not only to liv-
ing, but modern society must provide
more than what is understood by the
term "a living" 1t must concede to all
workers a fairer reward for their con-
tribution to society, contribution with
out which a progressing civilization is
impossible. Declaration by conference
of trade union executives, at Washing
ton, December Is, 1o1o.)

Boston, Oct. 15.-Hotels and restaur-

District Attorney Gallagher, who says
many of these places are selling food
at from 90 to 1900 per cent. profit.
1T is hard TO believe" said the
official, that business men depending on
the public for livelihood can go from
day to day without conscience and
common honesty 1evying tribute on
their fe1o1w citizens to the extent that
their prices represent"
The hotel men reply that only by the
food "at anything like reasonable
prices"
