Factory Wages
 Drop 15 Per Cent.

Hartford, Dec. 3o.-Deputy Com missioner William E. Duncan of the state labor and factory inspection de- partment estimated this week that the average weekly earnings of factory workers in Connecticut have de- creased from I5 to 20 per cent during the past year. Judging by figures in cluded in the last annual report of the department, that would bring the present weekly average wage to about $23.75, if the lower percentage of de- crease were applied, he says.
 Industrial Commissioner Henry D. Saver of the New York state depart ment of labor reported 15 per cent. lower average weekly wage in that state in November than in the cor responding month of last year, indi- eating weekly average of SPA. .32. The greatest decrease in that state was noticed in the clothing industry, but the boot and shoe industry also reported large decreases in pay.

CONNERY IS AGAIN NAMED FOR MAYOR
 OF MIDDLETOWN
Workers Friend and His Ticket Win Out by Two to One
 Vote.

Middletown, Dec. 3o.-The demo- cratic town committees slate was nominated at the democratic pr1- maries in the town hall when the ticket headed by Mayor James F. Connery was nominated with one ex- ception by about two to one against the dissatisfied democrats headed by Robert Wood. John J. Tynan, can didate for tax collector on the oppos1- ton ticket, was nominated, securing I5o votes to 1I5 for John F. Gilshen- an. However, MT. Glighenan had mo- tihed the democratic town committee that he was not a candidate and to take his name off the ticket. The committee, however, refused to do this
 The ticket as nominated by the primary is: For mayor, James F. Con- nery; for aldermen, Charles A. Ander- son, Charles A. Chafee; for council men, Ashley A. Campbell, John A. Simons, James F. Day, Joseph W.. King, John w. Carroll, William E. Wrang; for tax collector, John J. Tynan; for assessor, Mary C. Hill.
 After the results were read, Robert Woods took the floor and offered a resolution making the vote unanimous which was seconded by William T. Lynch. Councilman John A. Simons took the floor and wanted to know if something couldn't be done to make the Middletown Press tell both sides of the story. He said that that paper was too much one-sided.

Ford Assures Work
 to All Employees
Will Run Factories on Four Shifts to
 Make Places for Men.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 3o.-1nforma- ton from a trustworthy source here is to the effect that Henry Ford has formulated a practicable and definite plan by which all his 55,ooo employees are to be provided with employment following resumption of operations at the main Highland Park plant, the second week in January. The plant has been closed for several days for the annual inventory, and is scheduled to reopen January 9.
 Instead of only part of the force being given work at the regualr Ford wage of $7 a day, it is proposed to operate the plant for A hours a day, in four shifts of six hours each. For six hours work each man will be paid S.
 In this way Mr. Ford believes he will be extending practical assistance to his son at a time when 1t Is most needed. The wages paid, he believes, will enable workmen to keep their homes and families together and at the same time permit maximum plant production.

Bright Prospects
 For New Haven

An unemployment bureau through which men out of employment were aided during the fall months has been discontinued by the chamber of com merce as industrial conditions show much improvement, says a New Ha- ven dispatch to the Hartford Cour- ant. President C. M. Walker of the chamber says that the number of men applying for work decreased mater tally and it was felt that the bureau was not needed.
 Heads of several large manufactur- ing concerns here said that while orders for their products are not sufficient to keep the plants running at full time and with a full force the outlook was better than for months.

BUTCHERS ATTACK
 BIG FIVE PACKERS
Tell Daugherty His Probe Is Smoke
 Screen to Cover Sins.

New Iork, Dec. 3o.-The Amalga- mated Association of Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen made public .this week letter to Attorney Gen eral Daugherty, asserting that the in vestigation he has ordered of the high prices charged by retailers Hooks like a smoke screen to cover up the sins of the beef trust"
 The letter stated that the attorney general had failed to acknowledge a previous communication urging inves- tigation and prosecution of the 'big five" packing firms and their subsidia- ries in New York for violation of the Sherman law, "by limiting the slaugh- tering of livestock through control of all available slaughtering space in New York and Jersey City,"

RESERVE BANK WILL
 MAKE SOLOMON'S TEMPLE LOOK CHEAP
Tohn Skelton Williams Attacks Pro digality of New York Bankers
 as "Monstrous."

The expenditure of $25,ooo,ooo ill
 the construction of the new banking building of the New York Federal
 Reserve bank is described by John
 Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the federal treasury, as "mon strous." This vast outlay, in connec-
 ton with extravagant salaries prevl-
 ously attacked by MT. Williams, is
 pointed to as evidence of his repeat
 ed charges that the directors of the
 bank are diverting funds that should
 go into the federal treasury.
 Declaring that this waste of public funds has been compared by we'll
 balanced critics to the palmy days of the Tweed ring in New York City," Mr. Williams continues:
 This building, with it's luxurious
 and lavish appointments of marble and brass, it's auditorium, gymnasium, club quarters, restaurants de luxe and objects of art will make Solomon's $ temple of old seem quite cheap in comparison. It will cost more than the White House and treasury build ing at Washington and the state cap itos of a dozen states of the Union "It is a sad commentary on the wisdom and humanity of the reserve boards policies to find that at the very time that the New York Fed eral reserve bank was being author ized to spend up to $25,o46,4oo for a
 luxurious bank building the total amount of money which six of the | federal reserve banks were lending in
 I8 states, including all of New Eng
 land, New York, New Jersey, Dela- | ware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir- l ginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, | North Carolina, the greater part of
 Mississippi and parts of Illinois, In l diana, Tennessee, and Mississippi, on l agricultural and livestock, was only $I7,I67, ,ooo, scarcely two-thirds the
 sum appropriated for the palatial bank
 building."
 | Ninety per cent. of the funds hand
 ed out with such prodigality" by the
 reserve bank, MT. Williams declares, l should have gone into the federal
 treasury to aid in reducing taxation
 and the other 10 per cent. should be
 added to the banks reserve.

 Before boarding the train leaving Washington Debs addressed a crowd of several hundred persons in the sta ton, including admirers who had come to say goodbye, expressing his gratitude for his reception in Wash ington and closing with a reiteration of his opposition to war and belief in the force of love in the redemption of the world.
 No effort was made by uniformed police in the crowd to interfere with the address, but immediately upon its conclusion plainclothes offlcet rushed up to Debs and demanded If he had permit to speak in the sta ton, and upon being informed ir the negative, declared:
 You have taken a great liberty"
 Debs, who had grasped the officer by the hand under the impression that he was a well-wisher, apologiz- ed and said he had not known he was doing wrong.

WORKERS PARTY" ORGANIZED BY AID
 OF BOWLING PIN
Radical Organization Would Do Away With Present Govern
 mentS.

New York, Dec. 3o-Steve Burch- CT, New Jersey delegate to the con- vention called for organization of the workers party of America, who pre- sided with a policeman's billy at the session, took the chair with bowling viding for an organization dedicated to the overthrow of the present form of government and substitution of workers republic was adopted. Com rade" Bill Dunn of Montana, former I. w. w. leader, predicted the uiti- mate success of the Russian revolu- ton and the spread of communism throughout the world
 The Workers Party of America adopted several articles of the con stitution under which they propose to be governed by central commit tee of 17 proletarians.
 The second session of the organ ization's national convention attract ed a crowd of spectators and sym pathizers which filled the labor tenn pie meeting place, but if the lockers on came for thrills they were disap- pointed. At the meeting some dozens of aspiring delegates were thrown out bodily, but at the last meeting only one man was ejected-for calling the presiding officer liar.
 The purpose of the party, accord ing to the tentative declaration of principles subscribed to, was to Cor ganize the working class for the abo- lition of capitalism through the es- tablishment of the workers republic. !"

 REACH 30 PER CENT.
$4oo, 100000 Annual Reduction Elm braced in Managers Proposed
 Schedule.

Fifty-two railroads embracing the ter ritory norts of the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi have formally notified 750,0OO employees of their intention to re- duce wages from 10 to 20 per cent. For employees in engine, yard and train ser vice the carriers propose a reduction of 10 per cent, wiping out what is left of the July, 1920, wage award. All other railroad workers, if the managers have their way, will sustain much heavier cuts.
 It is estimated by managers that the railroads wage gill will be reduced about $4OO,OO0,OOO yearly if their sched- ule becomes effective.
 Notices sent to union chairnen for each class of employees request them to meet the arrangements in conferences be- ginning January 1o to dispose of for malities that must precede the certihca- tion of the disputes to the United States Railroad Labor Board for final decision. According to a statemen made by Ben w. Hooper, member of the Board | its docket IS now clear and the board is ] awaiting the presentation of wage dis putes.
 BIG CUTS ARE PROPOSED. Under the pay scale proposed engine employees will receive wages ranging ir | the following amounts for the first LOG miles of each run: Passenger engineers $500 to $640; passenger fremen, $4 tc $4.88; freight engineers, $6.O8 to SIPS freight firemen, $4.24 to $5.44. To train crews the following daily rates are offered: Passenger conductors $6; ticket collectors, $4.82; baggage1nen $4.1o to SAYS; fagmen and breakemer in passenger service, $4; freight conduct. ors, $5.o2; freight breakmen, $448; yarc engineers, $5 to $608; yard fremen $4.56 to $5.16; yard conductors, $5.33 and yard brakrnen, $5.
 ] Al shopmen now receiving 72 cents ar uhor would be reduced to an average rate of 6 cents Freight car repairmer would lose 20 cents of the present hourly rate of 72 cents, while their helper! would be reduced to 42 cents an hour In the maintenance of way departrnen mechanics in bridge and building worl getting from 72 to v cents an hour vii be asked to take a cut of cents an hour Track laborers on main line sections vii be reduced to B cents and on brancl line to 30 cents, while roundhouse ant shop laborers would be dropped to rate between B cents and s cents. Sigma men and maintainers would get from 5
 to @ cents per hour, while their helpers
 rate would be 42 cents.
 The new rates for telegraph operators
 station agents and other workers in tha
 general classification would vary widel
 from minimum wage of 8 cents. Flo clerks entering service without previou
 experience the railroads propose $5 monthly for the first six months; $60 fo the second half year, $70 for the secon year and $87.50 monthly thereafter.

LA TOILETTE SCENTS
 BIG RAILROAD PLOT
Charges Secret Combine Organized to Defeat Move for Lower
 Rates.

Washington, Dec. 3o-Charges were made by Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, in formal statement is- sued here, that representatives of the railroads and of the coal, steel, and lumber interests at Secret" meet ing held in Washington, December 9, attempted to obtain from farm organ ization leaders and did obtain from some such leaders adherence to an agreement not to push legislation to repeal the commonly called guaranty section of the transportation act and to restore state control of state rates.
 The Wisconsin senator made his charges in elaborating on his asser- ton "that plan is now afoot to per petuate the fundamental provisions of the transportation act, embodied in Section Is A, (the guaranty section, of which a part expires next March J, and to render permanent the in- tolerab1e conditions which have made the transportation system for the past two years an instrument for the ex- ploitation of the American people"
 In substantiation of his charges MT. La Toilette made public what he described as "a brief report of the action of the conference" which he branded "as a conspiracy to betray not only the farmers but the consum- ing and the producing millions of the nation"
