NO TIP, NO WORK.

No tips, no work, was the battle cry of the dock porters of the Hotel Gris- wold, New London, recently when they refused to handle baggage of the help of the hotel at the municipal wharf. The hotel had closed for the season and the management shipped away the bag gage of the help. Whe nthe baggage was landed at the wharf in the city the deck porters went on strike, refusing to handle it because they said there would be no tips in it.
 The management was compelled to hire local baggage trucking concern for the job.

A STORM WARNING.
Prepare for Financial Disturb ances While the Sun Still Shines.

So long as the sun shines, few people pay attention to the storm warnings. Men and women with youth, health and good jobs, go blithely on living up to every cent they earn, making no pro- vision for the future and saying con- fidently: For me the rainy day will never come"
 It is going to rain again-it always has rained now and then-and those who make no such provision are going to be caught out in 1t. By the time they learn enough to come in out of the rain, they can't come in. They are ruined and thrown on the $5O0,OO0, 900 human scrap heap that is tossed aside i'll America every year.

Watkins, presidential candidate of the prohibition party, from the race if the governor will pledge himself to certain measures regarding the Volstead law.

Connecticut Labor Press Widely
 Quoted by Other Newspapers.

With all due modesty we feel com pelled to state that The Connecticut Labor Press is the most widely quoted labor paper in this neck of the woods" One of the most recent instances of appreciation on the part of brother edi- tors is found in the last issue of The Columbus (Ohio) Labor News which reprints, with the authors name, the article written by President Patrick F. O'Meara of the Connecticut Federation of Labor on the political situation in labor circles of Connecticut.
