The Workers in New York
Claim Situation Develop

REPUBLICAN FEARS
HELPFUL TO HIM

of Strongest Assets

New York, May % An unmstak-
able and sincere air of confidence is
shown by the workers for Herbert
Hoover. Whether it is merely because
| they are enthusiastic amateurs or be-
cause they are correct in their reading
of developing situation, only the Chi
cage convention can tell But it is a
/ significant fact that some conservative
| Republican leaders, definitely commit
ted to the candidates. of other men,
are frankly impressed with the amount
OF Hoover talk which they now hear in
this city, not merely by the Hoover
workers, but by those who are studying
the situation from the point of view
of practical politicians seeking to fore
cast the result.
PROFESSIONALLY there has been some
rise in the Lowden stock during the
last few weeks. But while Governor
Lowdcn occupies what is known as a
strong strategic" position it does not
yet seem to be the opinion of impair
tial observers that his strength is such
as to bring about his nomination or
that his availability as candidate will
warrant his nomination. The campaign
fund disclosures at Washington while
most serious to General Wood have not
helped Lowden The bitterness of the
Wood Lowden campaign in Illinois is
taken As evidence that Lowden'
strength, SO far as he can control it
personally, will never be thrown to the
first colonel of the rough riders. The
campaign for General Wood in Illinois
appears to have been characterized BY
Governor Lowden's personal character
which were bitterly resented by the
governor and his friends.
Uncertainty as to the outcome Of
the campaign is felt by the veteran
politicians, who, three months ago,
saw nothing in sight but Republican
victory. This may be due to the com
mon psychological fact that as any
contest approaches the sense of uncer
taJnty, no matter what the apparent /
odds. commonly increases. But the /
doubt which is now freely expressed by I.
veteran Republicans would seem to in
dictate something more substantial I
I his does not mean that an ovcrwhelm- +

next five months cautious Republican
leaders find it easy to picture the com
of possible developments

the thing most clearly demonstrated
i that he would draw large indie

reason for believing that leaders who
are friendly to Lowden and Harding
would turn to Hoover without great
unwillingness- when the chances of
nominating either Lowden or Harding
were exhausted. Something of the
same condition, although in less de
gree. appears to prevail with regard to
the Wood movement. Many OF the
Wood workers seem to regard Hoover
as their chief opponent from the very

ALL TORRINCTON CRAFTS TO GATHER IN MASS MEETING General Re organization of Union
 Workers Is Set for
 April IA. POLITICS ARE COMING UP ornburn May Reply to Senator Brooks Claims as to
 Labor Record.

Torrington, April "A mass meet ing of all Organized Labor in this sec ton will be held at Central Labor Union hall on April IA at which com plete details for the general re-organ- ization of all the union craftsmen in the, district will be outlined, general organizer for the American Federation of Labor elected and the scope of the political activity of the unions this fall outlined. The decision for the general mass meeting was reached at a meeting Sunday attended by Secretary I. M. Ornburn of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. While Torrington organiza- tions are going ahead in their own way there has been no effort at conso1idaA ton or general organization and to bring such desirable condition about the mass meeting has been called.
 The political policy to be adopted will be a big feature of /the meeting At a meeting held several weeks ago, Secre- tary Ornburn made some remarks con- cerning Senator John M. Brooks of this district, who it is reported, aspires to be lieutenant governor. He simply then suggested that MT. Brooks record toward labor matters be looked into, not charging Mir. Brooks with being unfair or otherwise, but simply suggesting that in line with labor's announced policy, the voters of the district find out where he stood.
 This was reported somewhat garbled to Senator Brooks who came out with statement. that his record on labor questions was an open book and he wasn't ashamed of it. He employed help and paid them well, he said, and believed in a square deal for the work ingman, but when it came to measures that savored of red" then he was unalterably opposed.
 While MT. Ornburn didn't charge shifz with anything then, iae- has since said that everything looked fred" to MT. Brooks that didn't have the stamp of approval of the Connecticut Manu- lecturers Association It is expected he will have more to say about the matter at the coming mass meeting.

TRADES COUNCIL ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
 POLITICAL PLAN
Unanimously Endorses A. F. of L. Program and Names
 Committee.

By an unanimous and enthusiastic vote the New Haven Trades Council, at its regular meeting Thursday night, endorsed the non-partisan political cam paign program of the American Fed eration of Labor and appointed an ener- getlc committee to start New Haven Labor's share in electing Labor's friends and defeating its enemies The action was the special order of the day for the meeting, in line with the request of the A. F. of L. committee that special meetings be held and committees ap- pointed by Central bodies to start the campaign right at the primaries where the fight will do the most good in at least seeking the nomination of friends of Labor.
 The request of the Federation po1iti- cal board had been read at the previous meeting and that there might be no chance of future dissatisfaction the matter was put over to the April meet ing as a special order. That the sen timent of Unionists i'll New Haven is solidly for the proposed movement was indicated as soon as the motion pro- posed to endorse the plan and appoint committee was put. To man the delegates present promptly voted in the affirmative and quickly followed that  action by another vote authorizing President Ornburn to appoint the com mittee.
 Various remarks were made upon the subject the consensus being that the time to get busy, is now and not when the nominees are about picked by the political parties,s and to this end the committee was pledged to work among the various local bodies and start the ball rolling to have the members enroll for and attend the coming caucuses and primaries. s
 The con1rnitteeNis as follows: George West of the Carpenters, August Striby of the Bakers, Matthew Brennan of the Railroad Machinists, Franb Thomas of the Railroad Electricians, and. Thomas Pohl of the. Typographical Union.
 Communications from the Interna- tional Brewery Workers unions asking that candidates be squeried on their stand on prohibition, especially light beers and wines, were referred to the committee to take up with other com mittees to be raised by the locals to act in conjunction in the general cam paign. -"

OWNERS, NOT OPERATORS,
 CAUGHT IN POKER RAID

: An article appearing in the New Ha-. ven papers on Tuesday to the effect that moving picture operators furnished some real life here this. week by being caught in a gambling raid on a Grand avenue picture house, was scalled to the attention of the Trades Council on Thursday night, by delegates from the Operators union.
 The article was false and malicious, they declared, inasmuch as no operators were involved in the raid but instead the men caught were the proprietors of the theaters The article was an att tempt to cover up the owners and put the blame on the workers, the delegates said, and they didn't want the rest of organized labor to fall for any such idea. v
