TRADES COUNCIL
REFLECTS ENTIRE
OFFICIAL BOARD
Unanimously Endorses Conduct
of Officers by Returning Them
for Another Year.

Officially endorsing their conduct of
the affairs of the body for the past year,
the New Haven Trades Council by
unanimous vote on Thursday night re-
elected every one of the present board
of officers and made but one or two
changes on the board of trustees and
executive board, these being due solely
to the fact that the retiring members
did not care to serve longer. From
the nomination of President Ira M.
Ornburn down there was but one NOM
ination for any office, the election re-
sulting as follows:
President, I. NJ. Ornburn vice-presi-
dent, Eugene Treiber; secretary, Joseph
J. Reilly; financial secretary, August
Striby; treasurer, Daniel D. Mckay !;
trustees John L. Richards, P. F.
O'Meara, Frank Fitzgerald, Michael
O'Donne1l and Edwin Barzee executive
at arms, Frank P. McCabe; executive
board, Henry Doll, John Smith, Joseph
Mcmahon and Fred Walker. The Off
GERS were installed by Past President
P. F. O'Meara.
Following the election, the Council
voted to adopt a new system of col
lecting the per capita from affiliated
unions, it being reported that some
locals were not paying on their full
quota, due principally to the fact that
there is no complete record of the mem
bers in good standing. The financial
secretary was instructed to secure from
each local every month the exact num-
Der of members on which the per capita
should be paid and to bill them accord
ingly. The result is expected to so i'm
prove the councils finances as to make
an anticipated increase in the rate un-
necessary.
The fohshers delegates presented
statement calling attention to the fact
that the W. A. Ives company of Wall
ingford who make the only union-made
augur bit on the market and was carry
ing the label at a bigger expense than
the non-union makes carry and they
asked the cooperation of union men
using such tools in supporting the
firm. The support was
Immediately voted and delegates to the
trades unions affected instructed to
carry the word back to their members.

Can Company against union organiza-

RAILROAD SHOP MEN
ARE AGAIN REDUCED
Unions Keeping Hold on Men So
as to Have Then When
Needed.

Another sweeping reduction in the
forces of the New Haven road shops
became effective this week when the
Garments crew was reduced by 55 mem
the machine department by 68 men, the
boiler shops, carpentry departments,
patternmakers, wrecking crews and To-
comotive department being reduced in
proportion, and other reductions are
said to be portending. The crafts af-
fected are, however, 95 per cent organ
lied and protected by the seniority rule
under the national agreement and the
men thus laid off will be recalled in
order as soon as the situation improves.
In the meantime the local lodges of
the unions are keeping tabs on the men
laid off and request a prompt notlflca-
ton of every change of address SO
that the men can be speedily reached
when the road needs them. A large
number have already taken withdrawal
cards from this system and gone to seek
employment elsewhere. Transportation
is being furnished them and many are
already on the way south where things
are reported better. The officers of the
unions are keeping complete roster
of these men leaving town SO they may
be summoned on short notice to report
back to their old jobs. Such methods
have worked advantageously in the past
and are expected to do SO again when
times become normal and the men are
needed.

SUPREME COURT
AGAINST LABOR IN
CONSPIRACY LAW
Decides, Six to Three, Tt Cannot
Combine to Restrain Trade
of Opponents.

Washington, Jan. labor unions or
their members are accountable under the
antitrust laws where they depart from
their normal and legitimate objects and
engage in an actual combination or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade" the su-
preme court holds in an opinion, on
which it divided, six to three.
The court reversed lower court de-
crees dismissing the application of the
Duplex Printing Press Company of
Battle Creek, Michigan, for an injunc-
ton restraining Emil J. Deering and
William Bram1ey, as business agents of
the International Association of Ma
chinists from continuing a so-called sec
ondary boycott. This was described by
the court as "A combination not merely
to refrain from dealing with complain
ant, or to advice or by peaceful means to
persuade complainants customers to re-
frain (primary bOycott), but to exer
else coerclve pressure upon such GUS
toners, actual and prospective, in order
to cause them to withhold or withdraw
patronage from complainant through
fear of loss or damage to themselves
should they deal with it.
Immunity from prosecution was
claimed for the agents of the union
under section of the Clayton act,
which sets forth that the labor of
human being is not an article of COM
modify of commerce" 1t also was
asserted during the litigation that, I'M
der section 20 of the same statute, the
courts were specifically restrained from
granting injunctions such as that for

PROTESTS UNION
MAN GETTING INTO
HARDING CABINET
Manufacturers Agent, Perhaps
Would Prefer One of Own
Clique on Labor Job.

Michigan City, Jan. 1.-The open
shop is founded on the principle of
Anericanism, established more than a
century ago, while the closed shop is
advocated by those who are apostles of
violence and force, in the opinion of
John M. Glenn, secretary of the Him
ois Manufacturers association, who
spoke before the Rotary club here
Elimination of labor bosses was de-
clared to be one of the means of clear
ing the Industrial situation, ard the in
fluence of public opinion. .Ir. Glenn
said, would be the 1r'ling factor i'll final
settlement of industrial controversy.
Two things have much to do with
the present situation" he declared. "One
is whether Senator Harding will ap-
point a man for secretary of labor who
carries a union card and the other is
whether congress will restrict immigra-
ton. The final action will have con-
siderable to do with the success or
failure of the open shop movement. We
do not believe a man who carries a
union card and claims to represent
100000 men will make as good a sec
retary of labor as man who repre-
sents all the people of the United
United States.
Congress is in a panic just now in
reference to immigration. In my judg
ment there is only one thing to do with
immigration, and that is to keep out the
criminals and undesirableS."

TRADES SCHOOLS
BOARD PLANS FOR
BIG IMPROVEMENT
In Three-Hour Session, Goes Over
Situation and Renews
Interest.

lhe advisory committee of the New
Haven Trades School in a hour
session on Thursday, in which Director
Lawrence went over the situation in
the school thoroughly, made suggestions
for its Improvement and in fact de1ved
into conditions SO thoroughly that the
school is assured of being kept up to
date in every particular in the future.
The meeting was the first held in more
than year but the board decided to
meet once a month hereafter and do
everything to keep the school up to the
minute.
Director Lawrence explained that
one reason for the lack of attendance in
the Trade school was the attractive
wages offered boys and girls in the fac
tories during the war and immediately
afterward. This cut the registration
down way below normal and in some
cases almost cleaned out some depart
ments Then when things began to get
dull and some employers sought appren-
tlces the school was unable to furnish
them and the result was complaints that
almost caused disruption of the trade
school system.
most every member of the advisory
board made some suggestion for the
betterment of the school and after az
thorough inspection, renewed interest
in its affairs that portends for the COM
plete success of the courses in the fu-
ture. President Ornburn of the
Trades Council represents labor on the
board and as Labor is in full accord
with the real purposes of the school,
could promise any aid needed to make
the school a success.

GOT .. ....
A BIG SLICE OF
WAGE INCREASES
Spectators Cop About $380,000,
900 Given by Government Sup
posedly for Workers.

When railroads presented demands to
the interstate commerce commission
for rates that would yield the E per
cent. guaranty of the Cummins-Esch
law they also asked for $626,OOO,OOO per
year to meet the wage increase granted
by the transportation labor board.
Recent tabulations made by the labor
board give the whole number of men
employed in railroad service as 1925
772. Before the wage increase they
averaged a monthly wage of $115.82.
If all workers made full time, they
would receive in additional wages, pur-
suant to the award Of the labor board,
$558, 180, 1886.
This is nearly $74,OOO,OO0 less than
he railroads demanded and nearly $780,
100000 more than they received to
meet new wage requirements. The diff
ference of course, will go into the
pockets of the stockholders and insiders.
But that is not ALL The railroads
are reducing forces everywhere. If
this reduction amounts to IS per cent,
and it is certain to materially exceed
that amount, the railroads will retain
for their own uses IS per cent. of the
sum received for wages, or nearly S84,-
100000.
They will of course, retain the wages
that would otherwise go to workers,
aggregating more than $380,OOO,OOO.
Railway arrangements are not honest
with the public or with their own
workers. They are taking from the
public in increased rates, allotted ex-
clusive1y for wages, $38O,OO0,OOO and
applying it to purposes other than that
for which it was provided.

For the fifth time in about as many
years Elm Lodge No. 420, MachinistS,
withdrew from the New Haven Trades
Council at the meeting on Thursday
night, intending to affiliate with new
metal trades council being established
here and by its action thereby left it
self open to being dropped from atfll1a-
ton with the Connecticut Federation OF
Labor and the American Federation of
Labor. The action under the rules of
these bodies is contrary to the con-
sfitution, afiliation with the central
body of a city being imperative If
~affiliation with the state and interna-
tiona1 bodies is to be maintained.
The withdrawal was announced in
formal note to the Trades Council and
came lust at time when the Council
could take immediate action on it, in
asnuch as James J. O'Connell, presi-
dent of the Metal Trades Branch of the
Al. F. of L. was expected to address
mass meeting here last night being held
under the auspices of the Metal Trades
Council. A committee from the Trades
Council was appointed to inform him
of the action of the local machinlsts
lodge and ask his advice as to what
action was desired.
The machinists gave no reason for
their withdrawal at this time but it

KANSAS COURT
GIVES BIG MILLERS
VERY RUDE SHOCK
Decides Faithful Employees Must
Be Cared for in Dull
Times.

Topeka, Kans, Jan. 7.-Emp1oyers of
Workmen IN essential industries in
Kansas must arrange to take care of
their skilled and faithful employees dur
ing times of depression under decis-
ion issued by the Kansas Court of In
dustrial Relations in complaint
brought by employees against the Tope-
ka Flour Mills, which recently closed
down to about half its capacity.
A very important question connect
ed with the matter before us is its effect
upon labor, said the court in announc-
ing its decision. THE people of Kan
saS have ;solennly. declared by legisla-
tvs act that workers engaged in this
lnehsHy shall at all times receive a
tair wage and have healthfu1 and moral
surroundings. In the reduction of the
hours of operation, therefore, the mill
erS should be very careful and solicit
Gus concerning the matter of labor.
Skilled and faithful employees should be
given such treatment as will enable
Them during the period of limited pro-
duct1on to support themselves and
families.
The evidence before us shows that
iii the Topeka mills skilled men are
being paid a monthly wage and are,
therefore, drawing pay whether the
mill is running or not. So far as it is
possible to do so this rule should be
recognized in all the mills of the state,
for it is necessary to the promotion of
the general welfare that skilled and
faithful workers always should be
available for these essential industries
which SO vitally affect the living con-
ditions of the people"
Kansas flour mills are essential in
dustries, under the terms of the Indus
-rall Court law, and the mills are sub
ect to regulation by the court. But
he court has found nothing to indicate
hat the mills are closing down in an
effort to maintain prices or curtai1 pro-
iuctlcn. The case was brought before
he court by some of the mill en-
,loyesl who asserted that they had been
