Fenner Woodward read a formidable looking document to Harry after they brought him forth from the cell where he had spnet the night, < his document setting forth that Harry become intoxicated on Labor day which fact Harry admitted grinning little as he said he was drunk bit. Harry's real difficulty began, however, when he frankly acknowledged that he had been driving his fivver while he was intoxi- czted, and such practice is expensively trowned upon by the courts these days
 Asked if had money to pay a fine Harry frankly admitted that he had adding brokenly that he hoped they would leave him enough to buy a little zzs. Harrys whole attitude underwent an abrupt end decided change from blithesemeness to despondency, however, when the court informed him that the assessment would be a S10 fine for hay. ing been intoxicated and s100 fine, with costs, for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, a total charge of S12S.45.
 Harry just crumpled up at that and said that he was not possessed of that much coin of the realm. whereupon Judge Woodward told him he would have to 90 to jail. whereupon Harry said he though he could get the money, which he did eventually. and then sadly wended his way to the garage where his flivver had been stored by Inspector A.

Will Hams for the night and got a man to drive 1t home, for with Harry's fine went an automatic suspension of his opera tors license, and Harry wants to sell his car, which he recently traded another vehicle for paying S1.25 to boot.

BARTENDERS' UNION
 FAR FROM DEAD ONE
Still Alive and Kicking Hard, De spite What Types Would Say
 to Convey Otherwise.

One of those unfortunate typOgraph- iCal errors, from which the most care fully read paper is not immune, made The Labor News last week say that the delegates of the Bartenders Local Union had reported to the New Haven Trades Council that the local Has gone out of existence" Except that the word mot" was omitted "has' and gone" every- thing was all right and if any proof was needed that the local hasn't gone out of existence it was forthcoming this week in the number of objections made by bartenders and others to the way the story came out in type. We found out there are bartcnders in town we never heard of and we thought we knew them all (before prohibition cut off our visit ing list)
 At any rate the Bartenders Union is still tlourishing despite prohibition s worst efforts. It meets on the first Sun day of every month at Eagles Hall and i'll addition to transaCting social and routine business Is paying sick benefits to a number of members and is yet very much in the limclight. The local is now conducting an energetic campaign among drink dispensers to have the union but ton displayed and is meeting with good success.

We are anxious that our readers and advertisers should know that the estab- lishment of the Times Press, Inc in which the Connecticut Times Is printed, Is essentially what is known as Union Shop All of our employees are union men who are paid from fifteen to thirty-three and third per cent. more than the union scale We believe in 44 hour week for the reason that while the Sunday holiday provides the time for man to attend to his religious du- ties and for rest and pleasure, unless his hours are so arranged that some portion of a week day is his own he is given no opportunity to attend to his personal affairs.
 We believe that every industry should adopt an eight hour day and a A hour week and we believe to brand the move mcnt for the establishment of a A hour week as an economic evil as Is done in the above letter is indicative of that at titude of employers toward their em- ployees that is productive of practically all of the so-called labor unrest
 We are convinced that not only Is man entitled to at least One-half of one day in the week in addition to the Sun day holiday, but also that where a man must use his physical as well as his men ldl Sll CllSllI III tllt lllClC CSl OI llllllSCll and his employer, that having worked honestly during every one of the eight hours in that day, he has performed all the labor of which the average man Is capable.
 Carlyle said, This, the organization of labor, IS the greatest question in the world today This was true when Car lyle said 1t and 1t is now true. Every good thing that has come to labOring men has come to them through the power of their unions and tAe consequent ability to bargain with their employers Collec- lively and where necessary 10 use the strike is club. It Is our opinion that Workmen who take advantage of all the good things in the way of reasonable hours and fair pay that are obtained by organized labor and at the same time re- fuse to lend their moral and financial support to labor unions occupy a position which IS indefensible and COntemptible We believe that when the employer and the employee realize that their interests are one-that capital is useless without labor nd4abOr Is useless without capital when 1t is understood that one part of the community cannot prosper at the expense of another, and that in short when employer and employee both real izc that their relations should not be a constant strife, but should on the contrary evlnCe desire to work for each others interests-this world will be better place to live in.
