LONERGAN NOT TO RUN
 AGAIN FOR CONGRESS
Hartford Representative, Friend of Labor, Announces Intent
 to Retire.

Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, who during his terms of office has been a friend to Labor and the worlSingnan as far as it was pos sible for anyone to be friend of labor in the present .reactionary Congress, is not to be candidate for reelection, he announced this week. The announce ment will be regretted sincerely by all Organized Labor men as MT. Loner- gan's record in Congress is one that assured him the support of Organized Labor in the future It was so far diff ferent from that of the other Connecti- cut congressman and senators as to make him stand out as apparently alone as friend of the working class.
 There has been some talk of his be- ing nominated for senator against Sen ator. Brandegee and labor men the state over were sincerely wishing that that might come true and would have sup ported him royalty. They aresyet hope fu1 that he can be induced to change his mind and at least return to his seat in the House, there being little doubt of his election as of two years ago, despite the fact that he comes from the capitalistic district of the state.

BAKERS LOCKOUT LOOKS
 LIKE A LONG STRUGGLE
Two Thirds of Men Out Have Secured Other Places and
 More to Follow.

With only one-third of the 132 bakers who were locked out on May by the master bakers, still out of work and these being well cared for, the trouble between the journeymen and master bakers in New Haven now promises to be long drawn out fight. Of the 132 more than 30 are now employed in .bakeshops that have signed the new wage agreement or taken employment in factories where they get at least de- cent hours. The 40 odd not yet placed have been offered places in nearby cities and many will accept them next week unelss something unforeseen now develops.
 Union bread in plenty is now to be had in the city and all the union bakers are asking in line of support from other union men Is that they demand this bread and take no other. The bakeries established by the men are turning breadstuffs out in large quan- titv while the Ward and other outside union firms are taking advantage of the situation by simply unloading here. The result is a falling off in the trade of the arrogant master bakers that IS steadily having its effect and will be made more effective if the other organ ized men of the city insist on getting union-made bread and no other.

ELECTRICIANS AT WORK, BUT FOR OTHER BOSSES Strike Now Only Against Five Firms Who Have Refused
 to Agree.

# Statements published in the New Haven papers during the week that the striking electricians in New Haven had accepted the wage offer and gone to work, are true-lin part as. is usual with the attitude of the New Haven papers. All the men who went on strike are now at work, but not one Is working for any of the five firms in the city who have still refused to sign the agreement for the closed shop. The men out have been eagerly taken Up by other firms who have signed and are rushed with work but of this the daily papers said nothing.
 The strike is not. over by any means but is being continued vigorously against the five shops still holding out These are Stevens & Fitch, the Grown Light Company, H. E. Francis. & Co. w. w. Gale Co.,, and Nelson & Go Men formerly employed by these firms have taken other places and as yet they have been unable to get sufficient skill ed men to take their places so the strike is being passively carried on by the workers.

LABOR LEADER IS ACTING MAYOR OF
 NEW HAVEN CITY
John W. Murphy Filling Office While Mayor FitzGerald Is
 at Convention.

New Haven now has Labor mayor and will have for practically a month, but certain tax lodging persons III this city who turn green at the very mention of Organized Labor needn't have any fears that the city will be turned upside down and they made to pay their just due for the time being. 8sThe mayor is 4John w. Murphy, president of the Board of Aldermen, and for years one of the most active of organized 1sbor's advocates in this section. He has been president and business agent for the Cigarmakers of this city for several terms and is at present head of the Blue Label com n1ittee He is taking the place of Mayor David E. FitzGerald, who, while not a "card-man' is a very good friend to Labor, while the latter is attending the Democratic National Convention at San Francisco, and helping, to judge from the reports, from Montreal, to name the next president of these United States.
 Mir. Murphy became mayor on Thurs day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock when Mayor FitzGerald and the Connecticut delegation left for the Pacific coast. He will continue to be mayor until at least July Is when Mayor FitzGerald Is expected home again.

(. F. OF [. WINS DISPUTE
 WITH TEXTILE WORKERS
Montreal Convention Decides Building Tradesmen Must
 aJoin Own Unions.

The Unfted Textile Workers will turn over to their. own unions, jurisdic- ton over building tradesmen now em- ployed in textile works and enrolled in textile unions, following action of the A. F. of L. in Montreal on resolu- ton introduced by President O'Meara of the C. F. of L., as passed by the re- cent Connecticut state convention. The resolution called attention to the situa- ton in Wi1limantic where building tradesmen were in the textile unions but not in ther own locals and the Con- necticut men demanded that they be compelled to get in where they belong. The Textile Unions declared they were willing to have these mechanics turned over to their own local unions not only in Willimantic but wherever such con ditions exist.

POSTAL CARRIERS
 TO MAKE STRONG
 PROTEST ON WAGE
Mass Meeting in Bridgeport Sun day to Let Officials Know
 Stand.

Postal employees from every part of Connecticut will journey to Bridgeport on Sunday to attend a big mass meet ing being held under the auspices of the Letter Carriers Unions at which a protest will be registered against the action of the Congress Tn the recent wage matter and plans made for a vigorous campaign on the incoming congress or this present one if it meets again, to have justice done the postal workers. The meeting will be ad- dressed by international officers of the carriers association including John Foley of Boston, who has been most active in the work of securing a just increase.
 It is expected that at least 300 will be at the meeting and it is planned to make the protest so general that every congressional representative from this state will realize that the postal men, backed up as they are and will be by the thousands of citizens, mean busi- ness and resent the insult offered them of an increase of 3o cents day. Evi- dence has come to the ears of the men that the wage increase decided upon was all framed up" months ago and held back until congress was about to adjourn so the postal employees would not have a chance to make protest. In fact inspectors passing through here told the men months ago just what they were going to get and this was even be- fore the official committee had start ed to investigate publicly The inspect ors evidently knew whereof they spoke as their prediction came out to letter.
 There is a growing feeling about the country that the postofice department being for the general public good and convenience should not be compulsory self-supporting any more than is the army and navy necessarily. This is es- pecially true when the effort to make 1t self sustaining is made at the ex- pense not only of the employees but the public generally in injury to the service through resignations and lack of help due to the low wages

TROLLEYMEN, BY SMALL MAJORITY,
 AGREE ON WAGE
Accept New Offer of Company in State Referendum
 Vote.
WILL HOLD FOR A YEAR
Men Get Maximum at End of Two Years Instead
 of Five.

Although Bridgeport and Hartford, turned down by considerable maJorities, d substitute offer of the Connecticut Company to put the proposed new wage scale into effect with "a two-year term for the maximum pay instead of five years as first proposed, the trolleymen in New Haven and other cities and towns in the Connecticut system voted to accept the offer as made and on Thursday afternoon the agreement was signed by the company officers and representatives of the trolleymen. It is effective for one year from June l and is retroactive to June of this year.
 The substitute offer was made by the company early in the week following the emphatic turn down of the com panys first offer two wecKs ago. A referendum was at once ordered and all over tie state the trolleymen voted on Wednesday, the new terms being spread by the state conference board and international officers who were here to assist in negotiations. Bridge port and Hartford employees, especially the younger element, were strong for holding out for Hat rate of 75 cents an hour and this attitude had many supporters in New Haven and else where. However the older men, and as lit proved, majority, believed the offer the best the company could or would make now and voted to accept it.
 The vote was canvassed in New Ha- ven on Thursday morning and when it had been fully determined that it had been accepted the result was made known to the Connecticut Company officials. A conference was at once arranged and at it President Storrs and General Manager Punderford signed for the company and Frank T. O'Meara of Hartford. and Secretary John Too hey of Bridgeport of the state com ference, board, signed for the men. Thus trouble on the traction lines is now averted for another year at least.
 The final result of the vote was not made public and will not be until offic- ially communicated to the local unions at their next meeting. Each local voted under the eye of its own committee and there is therefore no doubt about the aathenticity Fof the votes even though the 1najority was small.
 The new wage scale is 54, 57 and oO cents an hour, for employees of one, two and three years service respectively.

CARPENTERS HAVE RED HOT ELECTION
 AND SOME UPSETS
Contests Result in Defeat o1 Present Officers in Long
 Session.

In red-hot election marked by spir- tied contests that kept the balloting continuous. from SIS until II :45 o'clock on Monday night last, Carpen- ters Local No. 7os Of New Haven, had a sort of Cleanup campaign" and sew eral of the officers for the past year failed of reelection. Almost every office was contested but the majorities given the new officers were overwhelm- ing. The elections took so long that the election of delegates to the Trades Council was postponed until the meeting this coming Monday night when it is expected there will be contest waged there, too.
 Although there had been several can didates for the presidency the contest was waged OF only two when the cleo ton was called. Former Business Agent John L. Richards was the coalition can didate against President John Strachan and was elected by a large majority Although there had been nominations for the vice-presidency they were with drawn and A. J. Mcdonald was re- turned to that office unanimously. Henry Mayer, recording secretary, was the next to fall being defeated for the office by John Smith, while John R. Campbell was elected financial secretary when James Doughan, who held the office, declined reelection because he is out of town most of the time and other candidates withdrew. George West was elected treasurer to succeed himself while Fred Branch was chosen as a trustee over several candidates. The contests for delegates to the Dis triet Council developed roaring fight 20 nominees being in the field and the balloting being fast and furious. The result was the election of George F Mordecai, Fred. Branch, A. J. McDon- aid, James Plunkett, C. P. R. Howe J. E. Snow, Dennis Fitzgerald, F. A O'Dell, Joseph Shaw, A. E. Ellis, ]. l.
 Richards, and N. J. Dougnan.
 The nomination of district business agent was held last week but only one candidate was placed in the field. He is George F. Mordecai at present hold ing the office. The formal election will be held on Saturday, June 26, but as
 there is no opposition it will be neces. sary to have only one formal ballot cf
