to overlooking with crowd es-
timated at 1900.

was an outburst of applause
every time the name of Colonei
Stubs was mentioned.
There was a large number OF
ladies in the audience, who were
enthusiastic in their applause.
A brass band furnished music.
Col. Geo. w. Bolton called the
meeting to order and Judge w.

prominent citizens of the city
and parish occupied seats on the
stage:

MOVIE OPERATORS TO
 HONOR WAR VETERANS
Plan Big Time Tomorrow Morn ing in Trades Council
 Hall.

Moving Picture Machine Operators Local Union No. 273, is to have gala time at Trades Council Hall, tomorrow (Sunday) morning, starting at II o'clock and continuing as long as the operators and their friends care to finger. The event will be a welcome home celebration to all the members of the local who served in the Great War and program has been arranged that will equal anything that has been at tempted in that line in New Haven since the war was ended.
 Because of the fact that many of the operators are engaged in the theatres on Sunday evening 1t was necessary to have the celebration start early and con- tinue as late as possible. Therefore a special meeting" was arranged for the morning hours after church" and there will be something besides pictures nov ing every minute while the affair is on Smokes, eats and vaudeville will be the order of the meeting after roll call of the returned members is made and each reported i'll line. A special honor roll IS being prepared and will be spread on the records at the meeting to per- petuate the services of the men in free ing the world, as we'll as assisting in it's amusement during ordinary times.
 Each of the returned service men will be presented with a neat combination badge and watch fob, bearing the em- blem of the union

LOST IN THE SHUTTLE,
 ONE COMFORT STATION
Aldermanic Delay Continues De spite the Need of
 Building.

The officers and members of the Trades Council are receiving very little comfort out of their agitation to have comfort station" erected blythe city, which agitation has been on for sev- eral years and been made greatly more necessary since the coming of pro- hibition and the continual closing of cafes and other public places about town. Although the special aldermanic committee appointed to select sites for the proposed station or stations, every time representative of the Council ap- breaches the members, the matter is put off with promiess of speedy action.
 President Ornburn this week waited on Alderman Connolly, chairman of the special committee, and was assured of action. The alderman stated the mat ter was delayed by his illness but that doesn't account for the delay that has been on many months. It is being gen orally agreed now that the Green, per haps on both sides of the entrance at the head of Court street, would be the proper place for the station. The walk could divide artistic buildings and the Green not marred in any way.
 The workingman doesn't care much where the site is so long as the station is built and the committee is going to keep after the aldermen until some action IS taken. .4es > -s
