TEXTILE WORKERS
TO DEMAND PROBE
Want Congress to Inquire Into
Entire Textile Industry and
Wage Cuts.

New York, Dec 2tt-The executive
board of the United Textile Workers
has decided to submit its application for
a congressional investigation of the en-
tire textile industry to President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor
John Golden, president of the Textile
workers, said that the action of several
of the large mills in arbitrarily order
ing a reduction of wages was part of
three-fold plan to reduce wages and
working standards and inaugurate the
open shop"
Although many of these mills have
been dealing with the union for years,
he declared they had made wage re-
auctions effective without notice to
either the union local or national or
ganization.
Il am quite CERTAIN said Mr.. Golden,
eff the manufacturers had been fair
about this and had advised the union
of what they intended doing, we could
have conferred and every opportunity
would have been accorded them to JUS
rifv their action"

THE HYPERION.

The most notable week in the history
of stock productions at the Hyperion
comes next week when BLACK Eyed
| Suzanne, a new musical comedy de
luxe from the. pen of Alonzo Price
comes for its first production on any
stage and the fact that Hyperion pat
rons are especially keen for musical
comedy, the further fact that the mem
bers of the company as at present con-
stituted comprise the best musical COM
edy aggregation yet appearing at the
| BLACK Eyed Suzanne" is entirely new
| and not played out in New York before
available for stock should mean rec
| ord breaking week at the popular play
| house.
One might infer from the title of the
musical comedy that it had to do with
Spain, romance, adventure and all else
but this is far from so because the plot,
and there is we'll connected plot, has
to do mostly with prohibition and the
action takes place in California with
politics and prohibition the underlying
theme. Mr.. Price has been here for
10 days in charge of the rehearsals and
in addition will play one of the leading
roles, while Jerry Jarnagin has been in
active charge of the singing and dancing
ICIled1 ScIlS 81 OIu OIlC Cdll easily
arrive at the conclusion that "Black
Eyed Suzanns" is going to be put on
here in real musical comedy style. The
regular personnel of the Hyperion
Players will be augmented with 'otehr
principals in addition to Mr.. Price and
there will be a chorus of 20 New Ha-
ven girls and boys which will rate for
looks and ability with any chorus that
has appeared here under any circum-
stances. The regular patrons will be
agreeably surprised when they see NAL
colin Fassett, Miss Bristow and the
other favorites in singing and dancing
specia1ties and some idea of what they
are to do may be CLEANED from list
of the numbers to be introduced.
For Sunday night Manager Menges
has an especially attractive program of
pictures for the third in the series of
popular concerts. The leading feature
of the 10 reel program will present
William Faversham in "The Man Who
Lost Himself" without any question
the most entertaining vehicle that this
star of the speaking stage has ever been
seen in on the screen. 1t is the story
of man whose reason left, him and
the miraculous way in which it returned.
The second big feature on the same
program will present beautiful Carmel
Myers in beautifully Trimmed" with
this winsome and fascinating star at
her screen best. There will be a two
reel comedy, "Hot Dog" which is guar
anteed to have hundred laughs, and
there will also be the Universal News
with incidents of the world at large
right up to the minute. Two complete
tinuous performances and quarter of
a dollar for anv seat in the house.

for several months that the hostility
of the Association of Railroad Execu-

public statements made by Vice-Presi-

in the acts of officials of the railroad
administration.

sustain the belief that they were de-

PASTOR SPENDS
WEEK in FACTORY
DENOUNCES LABOR
New Britain Flock Leader Gets
Swift Impression of Work
ers Attitude.

New Britain, Dec. 23.-Rev. John l.
Davis, pastor of the Methodist church
told a large gathering at the church,
Sunday night, that after having worked
incognito as a laborer in a local fac
tory last summer, he was convinced
that when workingmen thought they
had power over their employers they
would misuse this power to as great an
extent as some employers will under
reversed conditions. Mr. Davis said he
made this statement because he believed
in telling the truth and despite the fact
that his synpathies are with the work
ing people, his parents having been of
that class.
Mr.. Davis subject was What l Saw
and Heard in a Local Factory" He
explained that when he worked as a
1aborer for a week last summer his
identity was known only to the superin-
tendent of the factory. He wished to
secure first hand data on factory con-
ditions and the life of workingmen.
Mr.. Davis related numerous exper-
fences tending to show that when the
workingman thought he had the upper
hand, when he thought there was al
most no chance of his being discharged,
as was the case last summer, when the
factories were still prosperous, he took
advantage of his position. Under such
circumstances Mr.. Davis said he found
the workingman did not give the best
that was in, him and related several in
stances of how he wasted his time For
instance, he always washed up" early
and sometimes tried to prevent other
men from doing their best. Such pres
sure, Mr.. Davis said, was brought to
bear on him personally, and he heard
several men chided for giving too close
attention to their duties"
Declaring that he would like to have
employers see things from the work
ingman's viewpoint and vice versa, Mr..
Davis further said he would like to
have people of different religious creeds
study the principles of opposing creeds.
This, he said, would help to eliminate
a great fault if the average person
failure to know the other person, or,
the great sin of ignorance.

GREENBLATT KNOWS
AND SELLS REAL GOODS

The experience he gained as a tailor
on the bench, is holding Nathan Green
b1att in good stead in his recently estab-
lished clothing business at 20 Temple
street, corner of Commerce. Because of
this practical experience Mr.. Greenblatt
is able to select his goods with insight
that ensures his trade the real article
and because of being located out of the
high rent district he is able to offer
them at Tow rent" prices, thus adding
a bargain to good goods.
Mr.. Greenblatt is hearty union man
and was for a considerable period a
member of the local tailors union dele
CATION to the Trades Council. He is
carrying a fine grade of mems clothing
and assures his many friends the best
of treatment at his store.
