BE TRUE TO HIMSELF

I ask each of you to remember that he cannot shove the blame on others entirely, if things go wrong. This is a government by the people, and the people are to blame ulti- mately if they are misrepresented, just exactly as much as if their worst passions, their worst desires are represented; for in the one case it is their supineness that is repre- scented exactly as in the other case 1t is their vice. Let each man make his weight felt in supporting a truly American policy, a policy which de- crees that we shall be free and shall hold our own in the face of other nations. -Theordore Roose welt

STATE BOARD
 APPROVES BILL TO ASSIST INJURED
Up to Holcomb and Legislature Now to Secure Federal
 Grant.

Connecticut's participation in the benefits of the federal Smith-Burbank bill which provides for the rehabilita- ton of men and women injured i'll in dustry is now up to Governor Holcomb and the incoming legislature, the State Board of Education, under whose dl- rection the work will be carried on hay ing approved the measure and its terms this week and passed 1t on to the gov ernor for signature.
 The board appointed a committee of two to place the matter before the gov ernor who must approve the proposition before January i'll order that the state may get the $5,00O available for the cur rent fiscal year. After this the state will get $1O,OO0 year for the next four years from the federal government:
 Following approval by Governor Hol- comb, the Legislature must approve the measure within 60 days of converting and must appropriate sum equal to the grant made by the federal government;
 It is the intention of the state board of education. which plans to carry on the work of rehabilitation through the trades schools, to use the existing state facilities in putting the. provisions ot the Smith Burbank law into effect.

Ordinances To License
 Journeyr1en Are Doomed

ably fall by the wayside. There wasn't so much of a hearing on this measure because most of the evening was taken up with a proposal to have all public dances in the, city supervised by women supervisors. This created such furore that little else could be attended to- At the end 1t was learned that all the talk was on the wrong bilI' and an other hearing may have to be held.
 At the hearing on the plumbers bill, which being first of these licensing measures in the works may be taken as a precedent for the others. MT. O'Meara and others favoring 1t was bluntly accused i'll trying to shut out non-union help. Nothing is further from the in tent, the bill being simply to provide for an examination of a worker before he IS allowed to connect water. gas and sewer pipes, where a mistake might cost life or loss of property. If non-union man is capable of passing 1t before board made up of an employer, jour neyman and the city plumbing inspect or, then he would be eligible to work as well as union man. It would shut off the practice of inexperienced per sons of other lines of business con- meeting pipes and doing other work in plumbing lines that is not only danger ous but expensive for the one who has to pay for 1t.

Although several members of the New Haven aldermanic committee on ordinances admit the value and per haps necessity of an ordinance provid- ing for the license of journeymen plumbers, to protect the health and property of the city, the proposed or dinance introduced by P. F. O'Meara providing for such licensing, Is doom ed, according to inside information as to the deliberations of the committee. A public hearing was held on the or dinance a week ago at which several persons favored the measure. not on in dustrial lines as the opponents charged but as matter of protection for the general public. The opposition came from business interests who professed to see in 1t a move by Organized Labor to restrict the trade to union men. ac- cording to information at hand a ma JOrity of the committee took their view of 1t and will turn in an unfavorable report at the next meeting of the alder men.
 The same committee on Thursday night also heard a similar proposed bill from the electricians and if their in tended action on the plumbers bill is any criterion, this bill will also prob

MANUFACTURERS HAVE MERRY ROW
 AT ANNUAL MEET
President $15,OOO Salary Ob- jected to While Col. Ullman
 Resents Sur.

The Connecticut Manufacturers asso- clatlon had rather a lively time at the annual meeting held in the Hotel Taft on Thursday, the storm being precipi- tated by an attempt to cut off the $15,- OOO year salary paid to E. Kent Hub bard of Middletown as president, and winding up with a blast from Col. l. M. Ollman of New Haven, who resented the passage of a resolution he inferred was intended to bar him from mem bershiP on the executive board. Peace reigned in the evening, however, when the delegates assembled about the ban quet board and heard some optimistic reports of future business from Francis H. S1sson, president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York.
 The row over President Hubbards Sl',W salary was started by Howell Cheney of Manchester, head of the silk mills, who in carefully couched mo- executive board be elected by the di- rectors, inasmuch as under the present system of electing the members from the floor made the directors dummy board. It went over with little dis Cussion and later became the storm in which Colonel U11man featured.
 Then MT Cheney naive1y moved that the president hereafter serve without pay, except necessary travelling expenses and instantly hubbub arose which put aside all thoughts of the luncheon about to be served. The move was charac- ter1zed by some members as deep seated propaganda" to discredit the president which was claimed to have it's origin outside the association. Finally the association voted to allow the sal ary to stand.
 Election followed and Colonel U11- man was nominated for the executive board and promptly declined to allow his named used stating that the reso1u- tion already adopted by the meeting to the effect that in the future members ot the executive committee should be elected from the board of directors, would exclude E:m.
 Il have the slightest respect for my self" shouted Colonel Ul1man.. II would have to decline nomination of this kind whereby the members of this wanted on the executive committed" Friends of Coionel U1l,nan tried to persuade him that the resolution did not consider personalities, but he would not be appeased. He demanded that the resolution previously adopted, providing that the executive committee hereafter be elected from the membership of the board of directors, be read by the sec retary. He was ruled out of order by the chair, but hot1y demanded that the resolution be read, which was hnall 7 done. Asked :f the resolution was clear to him he retorted that he was able to understand the English langu- age" Despite his objections his name went before the meeting and he was unanimously elected.

MORDECAI NEARLY
 LOSES RIGHT FOOT
Trivial Injury' to Carpenters Business Agent Proves
 Serious Matter.

George F. Mordecai, business agent for the New Haven District Council of Carpenters, IS slowly recovering at his home, "A Starr street, from an opera ton he underwent several days ago to have a growth removed from his right foot, which threatened the loss of the member. Some time ago MT. Nor decai injured the foot but the bruise was so trivial that he paid little atten- ton to it. It apparently became well but few weeks ago the foot began to trouble him and a growth rapidly developed along the bones back of the big toe that virtually crippled him.
 It didn't respond to ordinary treat ment and finally an operation was de eided upon. The operation disclosed deeply affected the bones of the foot and it was necessary to cut part of them away The operation was sue cessfu1 and Mr. Mordecai is now able to get about some on crutches- It will be the new year, however, before he can return to full use of the foot again.

Calling upon Congress to give 1mme- diate consideration to the recOmmenda- tions of the International Conference called by President Wilson a year ago, and declaring that the Department of Labor stands firmly behind "collectlve bargaining" and recognizes 1t as "a gentleman's agreement" Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson, i'll his annual report made public this week, pointed a way to industrial peace. He also advo- cates an international labor conference, for the benefit of all workers and as an aid to the immigration problem.
 The Department of Labor was ere ated in the interest of wage earners Ot the United States. This is expressly declared in its organic act, he says. It has been the policy of the department to consider both union wage earners and unorganized workers. The guiding D1rDOse of the department has been to DrOnOte the welfare of wage earners, but not at the expense of the legitimate rights of any other class.
 The department stands for collective bargaining, he adds. It recognizes col iective bargains as in the nature !ot '.oentlemen's agreements in contradls- tinction to legally enforceable contracts: Collective bargains can not be regarded in the same category as ordinary con tracts, because there IS no mutuaiity- The employer does not agree and can not agree to give steady employment to all the wage earnerS concerned nor 10 any specified number.

VIGuANTES THREATEN
 SOL. S0NTHEIMER IN
 TAMPA CIGAR STRIKE
Then Manufacturers Organ Urges Lynch Law Against Connec- ticut Man, Sent to Aid Tobacco Workers in Fight.

Threatening him with personal re- sponsibilitv for any acts of intimida- ton or acts of agitators that, may occur in the future during the strike of cigarmakers at Tampa, Fla, a vigil antes committed" self styled The Tam pa Citizens Committee" but labeled by others as "a self-constituted band of law violators," descended upon Sol: Sontheimer, formerly of Hartford, and men and warned him that the business people would not stand for any such acts. The threats were made at the headquarters of the union where MT Sontheimer is representing the Inter national Cigarrnakers Union and the American Federation of Labor, but so far haven't worried MT. Sonthelmer very much inasmuch as no acts ot 1t1-- tinidation have yet been made or found necessary
 The vigilantes committee was made LID of about 50 persons, all representa- tive of the financial interests ot the section. It was just 10 years to a day since a similar committee tried to 1n- terfere with a strike and won the strike for the strikers by doing so- The pres ent strike has been on since last April and i'll a statement issued by MT. Son theimer is rapidly gaining ground. His remarks so enraged the supporters ot the manufacturers that the Tampa lr1, bune, organ of their interests, printed a call for veritable lynch law attl- tt1de against the strike leaders. The Tribune said:
 "The Tribune Is not advancing any lynching bees, nor any deportation par ties. but 1t declares the time IS here for the people of this city to say to those responsible for the hungry mouths and poverty-pinched families of the great. est industry this city has, Get out! and leave us and our people and our affairs alone"
 The strike was caused by an attempt to destroy the cigar makers unions. The first move was to discharge 200 committee men in the various shops The workers failed to secure re1nstate- ment of the victimized trade un1onlsts and then suspended work.
 In his statement MT. Sontheimer said that the manufacturers had the backing of the business interests, the courts, politicians and thugs but nevertheless were unable to go ahead with business with teh few rike-breakers they could induce to work. Attempts were made to goad the strikers into laWlesSneSS and they were arrested at every .oppor- tl1nity and heavily fined but despite this were not induced to any acts Of violence as was hoped. The factories in nearly all instances are unable to operate, he added, and the manufacturers are ai- ready whipped to a standstlll but won | admit it. Great credit is given the h. ternationa1 Union for its aid Ill con ducting the strike. Every bill has been paid and the situation now SO well III hand that the organization has no need of pickets at the shops as there are not enough men within to warrant picket He adds that the International IS soon to celebrate the greatest victory it ever won.
