WOMEN ARE PROMISED
 VOTE---BUT NEXT YEAR
Republican Supporters Can Do No Better They

The Republicans of Connecticut are going to see that the women of Con necticut get the vote-at the next legis- lature by which time the presidential election will be over, and Connecticut. 1t is hoped, once again made safe for Republicanism, not Democracy. This decision was reached at a conference. in the Hotel Taft in New Haven. this, week, at which about two score un- doubtedly sincere republicans gathered to see what they could do about it. They finally decided that they couldn't do anything about it except to pledge the nominees for the legislature this year to vote for suffrage next year.
 That looked good but didn't mean anything to the women as they are well aware that under : the suffrage bills passed in 1917 by the house, and con- cured in by the senate last year under the regular procedure, the incoming legislature will have nothing to do ex- cept to formally put it over for refer endum of the people and that suffrage was bound to come in this state next year anyhow. It didn't give them and millions of other women of the coun- try the vote this year when they really want it, so it is hardly likely they will use their influence for the republican ticket this fall anyhow.

ANOTHER OUTLAW
 STRIKE TIES UP
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Embargoes Placed When Switch .E,t sfF "
 men Take Vocation as Protest.

Another outlaw" railroad strike, which this time has seriously hit the New Haven road and consequently em- bargoes have been placed on freight in New Haven and other cities on the division. The main part of the strike here is in New Haven, where about half of the switchmen employed in the yards took vacation this week and so seriously hampered traffic that em4 bargoes were promptly placed. The men are deaf to the demands of their international officers that they return to work, stating that they are not on strike but simply taking layoff as a protest to the delay of the Railroad Labor Board in settling the wage question.
 Many other points in the country are as badly if not worse hit than the New Haven and the situation during the week led President Wilson to call upon the Labor Board for speedy decision. Reports from the board are, however, to the effect that 1t is hope1ess1y split, the workers on 1t demanding fair wage for the employees, the railroad heads refusing to consider 1t and the disinterested men representing the pub lie leaning toward an increase for the workers which the railroad represen- tatives refuse to agree to. Neverthe- less late reports indicated that de- cislon Of some sort would be announced early next week.
 While embargoes were put on the New Haven terminal, thus affecting all state freight more or less, Hartford escaped full embargo through the local Chamber of Commerce there sup plying common laborers to take the switchmen's places. They went farther 1v,A Af.- aid is little because of their inexperience and the embargoes are yet on

BUSINESS MEN MOVE
 MEETING TO CANADA
U. s Too Dry to Suit Those Who Helped to Make
 It So.

Even the "big business" and little business interests which had major part in putting bone dry prohibition over on the workingmail, doesn't like the result of it's own actions, that is doesn't like it when it happens to hit back. That is evident from the fact that a big group of Chambers of Com fierce of upper New York State, sched- uled to hold their annual convention i'll Rochester next week, have moved the meeting intact to Montreal, where at least the waiter will know what is meant if you ask plain enough for it.
 The convention is one of the big business gatherings of upper New York each year and was to meet in Rochester at the request of the chamber of that city, this year. Rochester is pretty near the border but not quite near enough to permit number of big business men to set bad example for their workers by openly violating the 18th amend rnent
 Being businessmen with the cores bonding profits that have been rolling in since the big war made 1t possible to collect them, matter of few hun dred miles to wet territory didn't make particle of difference so the whole convention has been transferred, bottles and kettles, to Montreal where it will meet i'll the same hall as used by the A. F. of L. recently.

CITY'S FOOD IS
 IMPERILLED BY
 BROTHERS ACTS
Market Commissioner Shows Up
 Conspiracy Causing Millions Loss.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been lost to consumers through a con- spiracy that has five times threatened the city with famine, declared Edward J. O'Malley, commissioner of public markets in New York in urging city control of perishab1e foodstuffs through terminal system.
 The official called the conspirators the eunderworld of the. food trade. 7 He. said prominent merchants and bankers were either directly or indi- rectly involved in the transactions.
 The searchlight on the underworld of the food trade has shown where spectators are working secretly and in tcahoots' with the railroads" he said.
 "Speculators buy produce i'll the country, and then reject 1t on arrival if market conditions do not guarantee large profits. The railroads, interested only in collecting their freight charges, sell at greatly reduced prices, often to the same dealers who originally re- jected the commodities.
 eDa.e sof. the large trunk railroads admits that 10 carloads of Texas onionsa purchased III Texas at from $10,000 to $12,000 a car, were sold in New York at. from only $200 to $6O0 a car. Only two of them brought the cost of freight.
 Tt was also discovered that mer- chants and bankers of unquestioned financial standing were in this game indirectlv taking their profits from the operation of some of these unfair deal- CTS whom they assisted financially.
 An average of 250 to 300 carloads of. perishables are un1oaded each night at Jersey City. These have to be haul- ed to New York in motor trucks, enor- mously increasing the cost to the con- sumner"
 This added carriage expense is un- necessary, MT. OMal1ey said, as freight rates from distant points to New York are the same as to Jersey City or other points in the metropolitan district.

LOCKED OUT WORKERS
 THROWN INTO STREETS
City Has to Ask Tents to House the Dispossessed
 Families.

Bogalusa, La., June 25.-The common council of this city has appealed to Governor Pleasant to send tents and other equipment to Bogalusa for locked out employees of the Great Southern Lumber Company who have been busted from their homes The company owns the houses. These workers were lock ed out when they organized, and last November mob of company thugs and members of the loyal league drove up to the unions headquarters in automo- piles and opened fire killing several un- armed workers.
 A grand jury failed to indict the murderers and now District Attorney Brock is being grilled. An attorney employed by relatives of one of the dead unionists has made this public statement:
 q have been informed by two mem- bers of the rst grand jury that the learned district attorney did everything he could before that grand jury to de- feat an indictment against the men charged with the Bogalusa killing. 1 have also overheard one member of the grand jury say that the evidence was sufficient to get bill of indictment, but grand jury could do nothing as long
 as Brock was district attorney"

PAY HIGH WAGE TO BOOST EFFORT
 TO BREAK UNION
Newman Corset Go. Also Trys to Head Of All
 Support.

Paying unslSilled and therefore inl competent help $5 a week more than it paid skilled men, rather than to recog- nize the union and continue the sys- tenn of collective bargaining in vogue heretofore, the I. Newman & Sons Cor set Company, Is not only maintaining the lockout declared against it's cutters two weeks ago but is even going farther and by promising increased pay to other employees hoping to disrupt the union of corset workers that exists in the shop. So far it hasn't been suc- cessful and at mass meeting to be day night 1t is expected that decisive will be taken.
 The men were told not to come to work week ago Monday unless they wanted to do so as individuals and not as members of the union. The com pany, through Superintendent Dodge, refused to meet a committee, even though that committee wanted mainly talk over conditions, in the shop more than it did wages, as was possibly feared Three times a conference was sought and finally Mr. Dodge declared against the collective bargaining system meaning of course the corset workers union committees which had always dealt with the company before
 Since the lockout, MT. Dodge has, according to the men locked out, adopted the collective bargaining among the female employees by calling them to-. gether in groups for conference and using, what they claim to be intimida- ton, to prevent their giving support to the cutters. This will all come out, 1t Is expected, at the meeting on Mon day night.

But British Appreciate Cause of

Little things like customs houses on the border line between the U. s. and Canada, don't mean anything to a bunch of Connecticut delegates to the A. F. of L. convention, especially when those customs houses didn't display an American flag or other insignia to let their presence be known But they mean lot to customs officials, especial ly the British ones, as President OMeara, Secretary Ornburn, of the C. E. of L., and Delegates 5McCue and O'Hara of the United sHafters found out on their recent trip to the conven- ton at Montreal
 The four delegates made the trip in Ornburn's new Liberty Six and a pleasant time was, had by al" until they had reached and passed Rouss Point at the Canadian border. Right through the point they sailed and were almost running away with traffic cop lover the border until they heard his wl1ist1- ing about. two blocks after they had passed him..
 He's waving at us, shouted O'Meara and as the cop insisted on waving and there were fears he might have a phone handy and cut them off anyhow they turned, back "Hi soy, mi lads, but let us see your papers. he challenged and then it began to dawn upon the party that they had hit Can ada and hit 1t with a rush. They hadn't any papers, didn't know where or how they weresto get them and had visions of being deported as undesir- able citizens especially when they pro- claimed Their labor affiliations and destination as. the Montreal convention.
 But the Canadian officials were a lot bigger than that They explained that the party should have stopped at the American customs house some miles back, declared themselves, been passed on and the rest of the rigamaro1e. They didn't even want to see the party delayed either and even assisted Sec retary Ornburn in telephoning back to the American depot, in making the declaration and after. few forma1ities passed the party on.

 Being in Canada, in the, part where the desert hasn't yet penetrated, they had a few leading questions to ask the officials. They got the answers joviai- 1y, found the place alright and 70.
