LABOR MEN GET
 A REBUFF FROM
 THE REPUBLICANS
Scant Courtesy Accorded Non | Partisan League Committee,
 It Is Reported.
IGNORE THE SUGGESTIONS
Committee Will Report to Special
 Convention in New Haven s-.e. This Week.

According to reports that are preva- lent Tn trade union circles of the state the reception accorded to the commit tee representing the Non- Partisan Political League of the American Fed eration of Labor by the resolutions committee of the republican state con- vention was such that the nominees se- lected at that convention can hope for but little enthusiastic support from or ganized labor in Connecticut.
 The committee, composed of officers of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, selected at the meeting of the Non- Partisan Political Leagues state cen- tral committee, recently, appeared be- fore the committee on resolutions to present certain blanks which organized labor desired embodied in the party's platform.
 That committee will make its report at the special convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor to be held in New Haven Friday and Saturday of this week but from the unofficial fore cast which Is being discussed the report will not be favorable It is hinted, in fact, that the committee was accorded but scant courtesy and that the recep- ton accorded to 1abor's suggestions was no better than that given by the national convention of the same party.
 The special convention will receive a report from the committee on both the republican and democratic conventions and delegates from every part of the state will take these reports back to their local unions From the outlook the result will not be of any great bene- fit to the republicans as result of the attitude taken by the resolutions com mittee of that party.

LABOR BOARDS OPPOSED
 BY N. Y. BIG BUSINESS
Want the Grievance Boards of the Railroads Abolished and
 New Appointed.

New York, Sept. lO.-Five large associations of business men in this city have protested to the United States railway labor board (created by the Cummins- law) against the es- tablishment of national adjustment boards to settle disputes between rail managers and employees.
 When the government operated the railroads it established three boards. No. l handled grievances involving en- gineers, firemen, conductors and train- men; No. handled shop crafts greiv- ances, and No } handled grievances of telegraphers, maintenance-of-way men, switchmen and signalmen These boards still function. They interpret rules over which managers and employees diff fer and in some cases adjust wage grievances.
 The railroad managers want these boards abolished and business men, who publicly demand that machinery be set up to settle differences, are aiding man. agers in an effort to secure the final word in grievances.
 One of the advocates of this plan is Vice President Atterbury, of the Penn sylvania railroad system, who testified before a commission created by con- gress, few years ago, that the general manager of the Pennsylvania is the final court of appeal on labor matters" :"
 These business men want old con- ditions re-established and then, in the event of a strike, they will get inter viewed in the public press on the need for the government to establish a tribunal before which these cases, may be heard !

CAN'T SWALLOW
 LEVINE PROGRAM
 INTERNATIONALLY
Total Surrender of Independence to Communist Leaders
 Insisted Upon.
FRENCH LABOR BALKS
Indicates Lessening of Hold
 Which Russian Idea Had on Other Countries.

Labor as an international force has suffered check i'll the past week due III large measure to its inability to swallow the Lenine program and to hold together on substitute
 The demands made by the Third In- ternationa1e (Moscow-Com as expounded by Lenine) on French labor implied total surrender of indepen- dence to the dictates of the Communist leaders. In addition to suggesting a censorship of the labor press, a steady propaganda against all reformist par ties and war on the Amsterdam type of labor unionism (the regular labor unions} the demands asked that all French programs be submitted to the Internationale for approval. The whole was repudiated by Leon Jonhaux, by no means a conservative leader. of the C. C. T. (the greatest French union of syndicates).
 At the same time the Independent Labor party of Great Britain, the most radical of British organizations except out-and-out revolutionaires Ia Soviet, has got into quarrel with the Russians of the pedantic insistance of the latter body that the British accept the whole principle of the Soviet, theory and practice.
 These quarre1s are said, by observers iii Europe, to indicate falling off of the hold which the Russian idea had on the minds of the workers. On the other side should be placed the activ- itv of both British and Italian labor and Socialist organizations in favor of ,.eace with Russia. The British Council ofAction is pressing the prime minister to be as peremptory with Poland as he was with Russia and IS demanding that peace be immediate, regardless of the progress of battle. In Italy a large demonstration followed after the Soc ialist party had issued manifesto de- lnandjng recognition of Soviet Russia. The Council of Action in Britain de- ;lounced the Lucernes statement as a backward step which might lead to war, since in it ,Ciolitti admitted that the circumstances might arise III which he would Iot welcome a Soviet ambassa- dor to Italy. The British attitude in the statement was also more severe than before, and hinged on the Soviety de mand that the Polish army be, an army of workers alone. This demand was subsequently withdrawn.

REACTION ANCERED AT PUBLICATION
 OF ITS RECORDS
Attempting to Lead Workers Into Blind Alley by Attacks on
 A. F. of l.. Officials.
PLAY GOMPERS ESPECIALLY
Records Unfavorable to Workers Awkward Things to Combat
 in Election Campaign.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Reaction is angered at the publication of the rec ords of its political agents, and it is attempting to switch labor from the main line of non-partisanship by at tacks on A. E. of L. officials and Pres ident Gompers especially.
 These records stand stern, hard-fea- tured facts that cannot be explained away. So big business ignores them and would lead the workers into a blind alley by attacks on A. F. of L. officials who have published these records un- der instructions of the organized wage earners.
 Special interests assume a virtuous pose, as 1t always does when cornered. The morality" of big business is shocked at what 1t terms .tan attempt to deliver 1abor's vote" These trade union opponents and labor injunction advocates, these defenders of special privilege, corrubtors of the electorate, exploiters of women and children and organizers of gun men and private armies all express alarm that labor will be delivered" They ignore the records and would gladly have labor follow them into alleys of their making.
 The unbroken list of non-partisan declarations by the A. F. of L., since its inception in 1881, is nothing to re- action. Numerous instructions of A. F. of L. conventions that its officials compile and publish records of candi- dates for office, to be used as a guide to wage earners and other forward looking citizens is ignored by defend CTS of big business.
 Switch labor from the main line by abusing officials who are carrying out these instructions is the sick1y policy of forces that know no creed but fren- zied partisanship, back-stairs methods and Jobbery.
 Records in favor of handcufhng things to defend in an election cam paign. Votes to lengthen the work day of government clerks are embarrassing between now and next November App proval of the Cunmins- railroad bill, the Taylor and other sweat shop systems in government plants, declara- lions in favor of individual bargaining and against trade unionism, war with Mexico that the natural resources of that country may be seized, friendship for labor inj junctions-a1i these are ob- stacles in the hunt for votes.
 But these records and declarations stand They are facts that cannot be defended or explained by e1ection-time "freinds' of labor. Reactions sole an- swer is the only one possible smoke screens. Attacks on individual trade unionists, who are pictured as doing something morally wrong when they publish the facts
 All this from forces that acknowledge but one moral crime-when workers are urged to cast an independent ballot, or when they are urged to join trade unions.

A rifle shot rang out from the side
of B street; from the lumber pile
across the street, Bryce and Ogilvy
heard suppressed grunt of pain, and
a crash as of breaking board. In
stantly out of the shadows George
Sea Otter came padding on velvet

understood.

"Safe-o, men," Ogilvy called. Back

cor the enemy. Ogilvy set an example
to the men by stepping into the open
and starting briskly to work with a
shovel.
At the bottom Of the pile Of lumber
the Black Minorca was discovered with
a severe flesh wound in his right hip;
also he was suffering from numerous
bruises and contusions. George Sea
