PREPARE FOR LABOR DAY
Lighthouse Park Secured for Field Day After Big
 Parade.

Although it got away to bad start
 with the tag day scheduled for Satur- day last the campaign for the erection of Labor Temple in New Haven while somewhat dampened by the downpour didn't lose much speed and is going on with even increased vigor. It didn't rain last Saturday, if simply poured all the rain that had been collecting for more than two weeks and the wet sim ply put the tag day Ion the butn'
 While the committee In charge in tended to postpone the event when it was assured the rain was to continue, a bunch of 25 comedy and active young women volunteers from the Bridgeport Corset Workers Union dropped in out of an auto bus and decided to take a chance despite the elements. The com
 nittee didn't want to disappoint any such spirit as that and let them go ahead but after a couple of hours, the girls themselves decided that 1t was no go and gave 1t Up.
 Police Chief Smith was consulted and readily agreed to postponement and therefore the tag day will be held to- day, if pleasant In addition sample Liberty Six" an exact duplicate of the automobile to be given away in the popularity contest, has arrived and will be placed on exhibition on the Green near the Bennett fountain during the day. This positively is not the actual car to be disposed of, brand new car being guaranteed to the winner. The tags and stickers distributed during the tag day and during the campaign, each count as votes and are therefore va1u- able to those who enter the contests. Already scores Of entries have been re- ceived from persons desirous of win ming either the car, pony and cart or one of the trips to Cuba.

ELECTRICAL STRIKE POINTS TOWARD A
 VICTORY FOR MEN
Three More Big Firms Sign and Only Five Now
 Out.

In less than two weeks from the time they went on strike to enforce their demands for a closed shop, as agreed to by the contractors in the spring, the electricians of New Haven have prac- tically won their demand as, with the exception of five shops yet holding out, all others of the 30 i'll the city have signed the agreement and posted the rules. During the week three of the biggest concerns in New Haven, came in, they being the New Haven Electric Company the Elm City Electric Com pany and Goldfarb & Schultz.
 The five shops still holding out are those of Steven & Fitch, the Crown Light Co.,, H. E. Francis Co.,, w. w. Gale Co.,, and Nelson & Co. It is ex- pected that from the negotiations now progressing favorab1y at least one and probably two of these will have signed the agreement before Monday and their men returned to work. Only about a dozen men are now out of work and these have other jobs to go to if they desire. As they much prefer to work for their old bosses if possible, they are confidently waiting for them to sign up and resume operations.
 While no trouble has yet been had on any jobs in several cases where non- union electricians were sent to work, other union men refused to work with them. This was settled by the non union electricians being taken off the jobs and union men substituted in all cases except one where a number of carpenters quit when the non-union men were not taken off Through the efforts of the business agents, however, the non-union men were taken out after a days 1ayof by the others and work was resumed with the electrical part held up until union men could be se- cured to do the work

CLOSING OF FACTORY
 DOESN'T HALT UNION


 ing Paof"K of e V7s Wsrner Brders the corSet e9s shops here this week, the local union of the Corset Workers has decided to keep it's organization intact, hold meet ings regularly and in every way be pre- pared to go ahead when the shops re- sume work. The members of the union, more than 200 in number, believe the closing of the shop is only temporary and move by the corest company to foster it's own interests. While many of them have secured other employment for the time being there isn't a question of their holding together and be able to act as usual when the time comes The factory was 100 per cent. organ ized and therefore the union is deter mined that when it re-opens it will re- open under the same condition.

LABOR LOSES FRIEND IN
 DEATH OF ATTY. TAYLOR
Danbury Lawyer and Legislator Worked Actively in Workers
 Behalf.

Organized Labor in Connecticut lost one good friend this week in the death of Attorney Howard w. Taylor of Danbury who died at his home there on Tuesday after brief illness. A worker himself in his early days he never forgot it and was always ready to lend his aid in the workers cause.
 Aside from his aid as a lawyer, MT. Taylor fought valiantly to secure jus tice for the worker in the halls of the Connecticut Legislature. He was rep resentative from Danbury in the ses- sions of 1881, 1912, 1914 and 1916, and during the latter three was particularly active in Labor's behalf In fact so active did he become in the last session he attended that he was cIassed as a radical and was told time and again by associates that he was "crazy" to be bothering about such matters. He con tinued to bother, howevr, and aided materially in gaining some of the con- sessions finally made to Labor.

Manufacturers Head Knows Where He Fits
 In Nation Politics

E. Kent Hubbard of Middle town, president of the Connecti- cut Manufacturers Association, personally is fine man and has a keen sense of the appropriate ness of things ar r1mes. This week he declined to be U. s. Marshal Palmer's alternate at the Democratic National Con- vention at San Francisco at the end of the month.
 MT. Hubbard is a staunch Democrat strangely but could hardly see his way to attend a Democratic convention when all the other manufacturers of the country were swamping the re- publican convention at Chicago with their demands-and getting them-of further protection from their employees.
 So he decided to stay at home and Bill Palmer will have to get another alternate.

How Republicans Feel About Labor's
 Right to a Strike

We recognize the value of col lective bargaining as amneans of promoting good will, establishing closer and more harmonious re- lations between employers and employees and relaxing the true ends of industrial justice.
 The strike or 1ockouts as means of settling industrial dis putes, inficts such loss and sui fering on the community as to justify Government initiative to reduce its frequency and limit it's consequences.
 We deny the right to strike against the Government, but the rights and interests of all Gov- ernment employees must be safe guarded by impartial tribunals.
