Sick Benefit Managers Activities

The New Haven Carpenters Sick
Benefit Association is not only doing a
great work among its members but is in
excellent financial condition, according
to the reports made at the general meet
ing of the association, held in Carpen-
ters' hall on Monday night. General
Manager and Financial Secretary John
NJ. Streeter gave a general outline of
the associations condition together with
a report of his activities during the last

with his past and present work that they
expressed their appreciation by present

the emblem of the association. The
presentation was made by President
William J. Flood.
The scheduled discussion of the pro-

PRICES NOT FALLING
SAYS u. S. OFFICIAL
Have Forgotten How to Fall,
Labor Stats
tician.

Washington, Feb. OF do not know
what some people mean when they an
nounce that retail food prices are fall
ing" said DIR. Royal Becker, commits
sioner United States bureau of labor
statistics.
prices seem to have forgotten how
to fall" continued the federal official
II know what I mean when | say that
food prices rose in December and No
vember and that prices were still rising
in January. Tabu1ations of prices as
of January Is in Newark, New York
and Philadelphia show that most food
articles are still going skyward.
"When retail food price index of the
bureau of labor statistics shows an in
crease in prices, it does not, of course,
mean that the prices of all food articles
have increased. 1t means that the cost
of the articles making up the family
market basket, when weighed according
to their importance in the consumption
of the average family, has increased. In
other words, it means that the price of
the total contents of the market basket
has increased.
''You cannot tell whether prices are
rising or falling by going along the
street and looking at the price tags in
the shop windows. The gathering of
shop statistics that are worth anything
is a matter of very great difficulty and
requires wide knowledge and the most
painstaking care"

BOYS DIG CITY OUT
OF BLIZZARD SNOW
Jobs in Public Works Not Attrac.
tive to Men Because
of Wages.

While the blizzard of this week threw
hundreds of mechanics out of employ
ment for the time being, it gave inme-
diate work to many others so much SO
in fact that the city was unable to get
enough help. to even tackle cleaning of
the crosswalks and on Friday was
forced to impress battalion of seniors
from the high school. The husky
youngsters went at the work with a
will and although blistered hands quick
ly appeared stuck to it until good
inroad had been made in the snow drifts
about the city center. The boys were
paid the usual city laborer rate and
made a holiday out of the affair Boy
Scouts offered their services for today
and many were used to advantage.
The labor proposition has been a
serious one with the city all winter, at
no time the public works department
being able to secure sufficient help to
keep even the streets in the center clean.
The wages the city offers are so small
in comparison with what private firms
pay to their common laborers that work
'on the city, attracts only those who
have hard times getting anthing else.
AS the rate of pay is fixed by the alder
men and finance board in the appropria-
tons, the director of public works can
do nothing about it. While Director
Lane has secured several advances for
the men in the two years he has been in
office, the wage scale is yet far below the
average paid elsewhere.

COUNCIL FAVORS
COMPULSORY PLAN
OF INSURANCE
Endorses General Idea and Will
Seek Like Action
By Locals.
UP TO CONVENTION
State Federation Asks Advice So
as to Prepare Suitable
Bills.

he plan for compulsory health insur-
ance for all workers was enthusiast
cally endorsed by the New Haven
Trades Council at its regular meeting
on thursday night and will be carried
by the delegates to their several local
unions for action SO that by the time the
next state federation convention comes
around in Waterbury, the delegates
there will have the formal opinion/of
all organized labor men in the state
and act accordingly.
he subject was brought up in COM
mtln1cation from the Connecticut Fed
Grafton of Labor, asking the council and
the various unions to discuss the matter
and report their views to the Federation
for its guidance. President Ornburn
explained that the intent was not to
pledge the organizations to go special
bill or plan for compulsory health insur-
ance but solely to get the general views
OF labor as to the advisabiiity of secur-
ing such a law. At the state conven-
ton suitable bills would be drafted. pro-
v1dlng the sentiment was for such
action, and presented to the next 1eeisla-
ture for enactment into law
Several of the delegates present
recommended that the subject be post
poned until after the individual locals
had been informed of the matter and let
the locals decide first Others strongly
favored the general idea and believed
that the Council, as a council, should
express its sincere belief in the general
idea of compulsory insurance and urge
on the locals similar action. When put
to vote the insurance idea was unani-
mously endorsed and will be carried
back to the locals for action.

Financial Secretary August F. Striby in
at the next meeting. Mr. Striby sug-
gests that the money on hand secured
from the publication of the official La
Dor Day book be used as the nec1us of
the fund, that other sources of income
be raised to continuously add to it so
that in year or two substantial
amount will be on hand and enable Or
ganized Labor to proceed with the erec-
ton of its own home
The subject was brought UP by Presi-
dent Ornburn on Thursday night in ex-
planning that the reports of officers
which~were ready would be deferred
untI he next meeting when larger
attenua.4ce of delegates would be pres
ent. The announcement of Mr.. Stri-
by's recommendation was made, he said,
so that the delegates present could in
form their locals of the intended pro-
ject, get their views on it and be pre-
pared to seriously discuss it at the next
meeting.
While no definite plans for the build
ing are yet suggested, it is the belief of
Mr. Striby and other members of the
Council that Organized Labor here is
strong enough to have its own home and
make it large enough to secure income
out of it instead of having to pay out
for meeting places as at present. Stores
and other businesses on the ground and
perhaps first floor above, would make
the venture financial success in their
opinion, as such has been proven in
other cities.

BIG MEETING AT
ARENA TO SCAN
RAILROAD LAWS
Much Abused Plumb Plan to Be
Explained Here on
February "a.
BUSINESS INVITED
Labor Generally Affected BY
Proposed Legislation Bid to
Attend Points Out.

A monster mass meeting of all rail-
road workers and organized labor men
generally will be held at The Arena on
Tuesday, February "a, at which the
Plumb plan for control and operation
of the railroads of the country and
railroad labor problems generally will
be discussed Prof. R. A. Kennedy of
Washington, one of the closest students
of political economy and the relations
/. between capital and labor in the coun-
try, will be the principal speaker and
will discuss the Plumb plan and explain
what it really is. President Ira M.
Ornburn of the New Haven Trades
Council will preside and President
O'Meara of the c. F. of L. and other
labor leaders will make addresses.
A general invitation to all organized
labor men to attend the mass meeting
was extended through the Trades Coun-
Gil at its meeting Thursday night, the
invitation setting forth that the subj ject
of railroad legislation affected every or
ganized labor man in the country, in
directly if not indirectly. The Plumb plan
which is regarded as favorable to the
workers has been generally endorsed by
labor throughout the country, it was set
forth, but seems to be meeting with dif-
ficulties and satire at Washington.
Charges that it would put the roads di-
rectly into the hands of organized labor
to the .detriment of the country have
been scattered broadcast solely to be-
cloud the issue it was set forth, and in
order to acquaint the worker generally
with the. real idea and scope of the
Plumb plan the mass meeting has been
arranged. Not only is labor invited to
attend the meeting at the Arena, but
k11 III fn
attend. Special invitations will be sent
to business organizations also and it is
expected that the hall, big as it IS, will
be packed.
Railroad legislation is now the main
business at Washington, the conferes
having finally agreed on bill under
which the roads will be turned back to
their private owners, on March /.
Through the untiring efforts of Samuel
Gon1pers and other leaders of organized
labor the anti-strike clauses in the Cum
mirs-Esch bills have finally been elm
mated but clause for compulsory arbi-
tration of all disputes has been left in,
according to information given out by
the leaders in the joint sessions. Ihe
striking out of the anti-strike clause IS
a distinct victory for Organized Labor
but just how the compulsory arb1tra-
ton clauses will affect labor cannot be
learned until next week when the en-
tire bill comes from committee and is
reported.
Another partial victory for organized
labor is in the cutting down of the
period under which the railroads would
be guaranteed dividends of 5H per
cent. on their physical valuation, from
FIVE to two years. Until the entire bill
has been reported and opportunitty. to
study it given, neither President
O'Meara nor Secretary 0rnburn OF the
Connecticut Federation are willing to
make any statement regarding it.
