 Details of the credit relief measures for livestock raisers so far worked out, treasury officials explained. call for pool of $5O,OOO, ,OOO raised and distributed through private channels instead of the proposal for like sum of federal funds made available through the war finance corporation.
 A committee of the eastern bankers will meet with a committee from the western banks i'll Chicago, "Wednesday,

 The pool is to be administered from Chicago, by way of advances to banks in the stock-ralsing sections or cattle

The park board rose in indignation at such a proposal, even the beauty ot the plans prepared failing to move them The aldermen are however in sistent and at conferences this week made determined stand for the erection of the building on the Green In this they were backed up by large number of taxpayers, who agree the Green is the only proper place fo rthe station. The park board finally agreed to give answer before the next aldermanic board meeting but their attitude is so clearly an that the aldermen may have to take 1t to the people as whole and let them order it where they desire
 The agitation for the comfort sta ton was started by the New Haven Trades Council six years ago and after considerable work the aldermen agreed and an appropriation of S2o,- 900 was made for the erection ot the station.

 Yes, if they do not comply with the boards decision," replied Presi dent Donlin, who had recommended that drastic action be taken uphold ing the board
 All right, we are out" retorted President Hutcheson, as he left the auditorium accompanied by the other members of his delegation.

 Gompers Expresses Regret.
 Nothlng sadder has come to my attention in a considerable time than what l have witnessed" said Presi- dent Samuel Gompers of the Fedora tlon in an address to the convention following the withdrawal of the car penters.
 President Donlin of the department sad that the executive council of the department would attempt to get a meeting with the carpenters executive body and learn whether 1t intended to live up to the boards decision. of they don't they will be suspended" ," he said
 The carpenters union, which is the largest one in the building trades de- partment and the second largest in the federation, has twice before with drawn or been supended from the de- partment because of jurisdictional controversial
 The official roll call showed that if the carpenters delegates, who de- cllned to vote had cast their ballot the resolution tor the supension of unions detylng the board would have been lost by six votes.
 We consider ourselves suspended and have no intention of appealing from the conventions action," said President HutCheson of the carDen- ters. We will function, progress and |prOSper as we always have done without the aid of the Building Trades Department If they want to suspend us from the American Federation of Labor they can do that, too We can get along without that afiliation and save money: We don't need their help" President Hutcheson declared there could be no compromise settlement of the controversy
 Labor leaders said that the laws of the federation provided that member un1ons must have af1liation in a trades department. In this event the carpenters will face suspension from the federation also

Long and Bitter Debate in Metal
 Trades Convention.

Denver, June 16-The American Federation of Labor today unanl- mously repudiated the one big union idea.
 Without discussion the 41st annual convention of the federation sustained the action of it's committee on or ganization in non-concurring on a resolution calling for "one body of workers through amalgamation, fed erations and protective agreements.
 Several delegates by objections to- day denied the negro delegation per mission to introduce a resolution con demning the "mob violence" of the "Ku-Klux-Klan of White Caps" of the South.
 Delegates to the convention of the metal trades department of the Amer ican Federation of Labor also defeat ed proposal designed to bring about the organization of one big metal trades union in the United States.
 Representative of the Internation- al Association of Machinists, who in troduced the resolution, were vigor- ously scored as advocating and at- tempting to revive the lone big union'' idea in this country. The debate was long and bitter.

 The American Federation-the Amer ican labor movement and every other properly conducted labor movement in the civilized world-has been taught how to go forward but not how to retreat. They only know to go marching onward and forward and upward.
 Let us go on in our movement, united. The same character and type of enemies to the American movement of the work CTS in industry are at work also Tn try- ing to drive back the position secured by the farmers of our country III these past few years.

 You know that there IS drive being made to wipe out or to weaken the De- Dartment of Labor and also to destroy the Department of Agriculture. Now, what other departments are there left in the United States Government?

 Far Haven rose enmasse against the plan, the eleventh ward giving 716 ma Jorlty against and the three precincts of the twelfth turning in a majority against the change of 2,2o9. The fourteenth, which proponents claimed for their own 1t being mostly an exclusive residential section, disappointed them by turning in a majority of 25 votes against the plan, making the landslide almost unanimous

BIJOU
 When a play, produced for the first time twenty years ago, IS still success, 1t can be said, to be great play. When We Were Twenty One" written by H. V. kSmond, IS that play, and now the screen adaptation IS the feature picture lat the BiJou theatre, starting Sunday night for four day run The entire week at the Bijou Theatre is a most in- terestlng one III every respect, for the vaudeville IS headed by the annual Bijou Revue, composed of the cream of local talent, while the great added attraction for the last half of the week is the fla nous Salzo Quadrauplets, making their first public appearance. Special events will be held throughout the week. "When 1 We Were TWenty-One" was first pro- lduced in London in September, 1901, with such stars i'll the cast as Nat Goodwin, Arnold Daly, Maxine Elliott and Con- stance Collier. So successful was 1t on Ithe continent that 1t was brought to America, where 1t reached the height of its success and gave MT. Goodwin his greatest role The role does not suffer III the least in the hands of H. B. War ner, who stars in the screen version.
 The Bijou Revue promises to be one of the greatest local acts ever produced, and contains everything that makes for real fast, snappy entertainment. tl has principals who really know how to put their stuff over, and chorus that can sing and dance, besides looking pretty. l. This years revue has been staged under tthe personal direction of John E. Cog gins, well known about Connecticut as a producer of local note. He has developed "a number of artists, many of whom are Jnow in big productions playing in New York City. MT. Goggin considers the Bijou Revue as the triumph of his thea trical career, and believes that it will firmly establish his reputation as pro- ducer. The cast that will make the Bijou i Revue a success Is headed by Dorothy i Rockwell, a new artist i'll New Haven, but one of the cleverest jazz toe and Russian dancers ever seen within the con- fines of the Elm City.

For those who love good singing, Miss Olive Newton will offer two wonderful numbers Then there is Margaret Cal !lahan and Grace Fairchild, a sister" team, who work together splendidly, and but their numbers over in big time style. ;Of especial interest Is the appearance ot Lillian Mayer and Helen Noa, two pretty high school girls, who give promise ot becoming real stars before great many more years roll by. Miss Sadie Hubon will offer "Oh Boy" and she sings 1t wonder fully, with remarkable idea ot value. She will be assisted i'll this num-

HAYWOOD URGES REDS HERE TO UNITE
 AND KILL A. F. OF |,
Union Leaders Principal Obstacles to Communionism in America, Says
 Radical Refugee.

Berlin, June 16.-The New York Tribune correspondent has obtained from nOn-Russian sources a copy ot the report which William (Big BilD Haywood will present to the Third Internationale in Moscow this month In 1t the Communist leader asks the forthcoming congress to bring about a coordination of international Com munist elements, so as to destroy the American Federation of Labor.
 Haywood, who jumped bail in America to come to Europe, says he represents American labor in the Moscow Federation of Railroad Brotherhoods and other bodies. In his prepared report, however, he does not paint as optimistic a picture for Bolshevik eyes as other envoys to Moscow have circulated. This IS evi dent from numerous secret Russian documents.
 "The one single obstacle in the pathway of I. w. w. progress toward class unity" the l. w. w. leader says at the beginning, 'is the American Federation of Labor. The Russian union, which has organized industrial ly will surprise the learned American labor federationists who have many various methods of limiting the growth and strength of the labor movement"
 These methods include, he says, the apprenticeship system, adherence of the color line and discrimination against women in the apprenticeship requirement. Also, he says, the American Federation of Labor eschews revolutionary sayings or doc urine. He continues:
 "Cxor,orarc ro11c the Rrotha rh006 0f Railway Trainmen 'Bolshevik sav- ages It is apparent, therefore, that there Is an urgent necessity for pro- paganda and agitation among the rank and file of the craft unions in Amer ica, which work has been done an- nualy by the l. w. w.
 "Before 1 left America an effort was made to concentrate propaganda upon united mind through disloyal officials who became affiliated with the federation and contaminated 1t with ruinous ideas. The federation is burdened with corrupt officials who constantly are. playing into the hands of the capitalist class
 The l. w. w. leader says "vigor- ous agitation" can be carried on in the local unions of the United Mine Workers, which will "bring effectual results" and proceeds:
 Nothing is to be expected from the railroad brotherhoods, which can hardly be called labor unions, but, rather insurance organizations hold ing property worth millions. Among shopmen, trackmen and freight handl- CTS, some defined propaganda can be carried on"
 One of the greatest independent unions-the Amalgamated Clothing Workers-Haywood adds ,could exert favorable influence through manipu- lations with employees"

SHIP AGREEMENT IS SIGNED DESPITE
 OWNERS REFUSAL
Marine Engineers Wages Cut I5 Per Cent. Effective from June I4,
 and No Overtime"

Washington, June 17.-A new working agreement embOdying IS per cent re- d1ctlon III wages was ratified by the ship
 ing board and representatives of the ma rne engineers yesterday and deposited with the secretary of labor. The new wages scale became effective June IA, 1t was announced and will con- tinue in effect until December 31. A similar agreement was reached with ra- d1o operators, 1t was added, and others will be negotiated with representative of the seamen, firemen and cooks.
 Although the American Steamship Owners Association voted at New York against entering into the agreement, the opinion was expressed here that the oper- ators separately would perhaps join with tle shipping board in the settlement.
 While overtime pay IS technically pro- Nided for in the wage scale, the working conditions practically eliminate overtime. E' No overtime,' the agreement provides, shall be performed at sea except for the safety of the vessel" Such work is full ly set out and includes essential repairs. Another provision of the agreement says tlat working day in port i'll excess of |eight hours shall not be performed or paid for unless the work Is done by writ ten order of the chief engineer, master, owner or agent of the vessel.
 |; New York, June 17.-The American Steamship Owners Association, repre- senting large percentage of privately owned American flag tonnage, yesterday declined to join with the shipping board Il ratifying a new working agreement twith striking marine unions, embodying B IS per cent wage reduction.
 A telegraph, signed by President H. II. HaymOnd and addressed to Chairman 1asker of the board, stated the owners Iwere unable to alter their previously an- Inounced positiOn-that of declining to enter into signed contracts with any sea |golng union.

armament being based upon universal agreement. But 1 ask you, my friends { i'll any event, whether the production of the wealth of our country Is not of greater importance to civilization and our progress than IS any other depart ment of our government? However, we see what we do see, and we will recog- nize the conditions as they exist and we shall do anything and everything within our power to prevent such destructive piece of legislation.
 When the delegates to the convention of the A. F. of L. speak they speak i'll the name of the producing masses of our country, for the unorganized have our sympathy and they have our protection and we safeguard their interests for them-they know that when any trouble overtakes them-they know where to come, and they don't go to the chambers of commerce, but they come to the of fees of the organizations of the men and women of labor, the organizations which they have neglected or failed, for one reason or another, to join. But when they are in distress and when they are in trouble, when they can no longer re- main content with insult and tyranny and imposition, they come to the doors of the organizations of labor, knowing that by God, if we can't help them, we will not hurt them.
 The one great thing with which we must deal Is greater cooperation and unity and spirit of solidarity among the great masses of the toilers of our coun- try. A new vision, a new campaign, a new spirit, not only of resentment, but of constructive work, to protect and to promote the rights of interests and wei fare of the wage-earning masses of America and by so doing, we solidify the ground work and the wonderful struc- ture of the Republic of the United States of America,
 "The labor movement of America IS endeavoring to cultivate the best possible relations with the peoples of the world, with the peoples of our own country. We must see to 1t that If we wish to main tain our standards, if we wish to main tain our rights, politically, judicially, or industrially, and economically, we must
