PROTEST STATE
 PRINTING PLACED
 AT REFORMATORY
Waterbury Typos Object to Hav- ing Convicted Persons Elm
 ployed in Trade.

The Waterbury Typographical union, following similar action taken by the eX- eCutive board of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor, at a meeting on l11lday adopted resolutions asking the state Federation to make formal protest against the state printing being done by prison labor at the Cheshire reformatory as Is being suggested to the present legislature. The executive board has al ready made such protest and will follow 1t up by the action of the Waterbury local. The resolutions adopted follow: TO the Connecticut State Federation of
 Labor, Greeting:
 At a regular meeting of Waterbury Typographical Union, No. 329, held on Sunday, April B. 1921, attention was call cd to an item in the state papers of the Connecticut refOrnatOry commission ask ing for an additional appropriation tC further equip the printing plant at the reformatory in Cheshire so that they could do all the state printing, amounting to $8O0OO as they are doing about one half of the state printing at the present time; and
 WHEREAS If such appropriation should printing industry of the State of Con- nectiCut, bringing convict labor in com petition with free labor; therefore it IS 'REsOLvED. That we ask the Connec- ticut State Federation of Labor to ad- wise its legislative committee to use all r. honorable means to prohibit any such ap- propriation to be granted by the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut"

CENTRALBODY. PLANS PARTY ON LABOR DAY
Two Score Years of Existence of New Haven Organization to
 Be Properly Observed.

he 10th anniversary ot the organ1za- tion of the New Haven Trades Council will occur during the latter part of August and Will be properly celebrated, probably on Labor Day and in con unc- tion with the usual Labor observance of that day. To that end the executive committee of the Council at the meeting last night was instructed to prepare pre- lininary plans for the celebration and re- port them to the next meeting that a special committee to carry on the details can be appointed.
 It is not intended to hold parade or such demonstration but rather to have a big "get-together' picnic, outing or the like, where all unions affiliated with the Council can meet and have a thoroughly enjoyable day. It IS anticipated that in ternational officers of the A. F. of L. and affiliated organizations could be se- cured to come here for the celebration if an early start toward dating them up is made and therefore the Council is to get busy at once on the plans.
 The Council last night also voted to adopt daylight saving schedule for it's
 meetings hereafter so that ln the future the meetings will be o'clock instead of 8 D. nl Two new delegates from Mold CTS Local No. 60 were seated. They are John Brunning and William Henneberg. The board of business agents, which recently ran a package party to assist in defraying Council expenses, reported :hat the event was a decided success 1 from both financial and business stand i points One hundred and fifty dollars : was realized and reported i'll last night The Council also voted to donate to the plan of the A. F. of L. to establish a bureau where actual and authentic Labor information can be available at all times The enormous amount of unfair and un- true propaganda being spread by inter ests opposed to Labor makes some such l bureau necessary and central bodies all over the country are being connected so that exchange of real facts can be had instantly.

 From Chamber of Commerce

the bill. The trustees had held up ap- proval of it, preferring to have the Coun- cil as a whole decide.
 It didn't take the Council long to do SO. The attitude of the Chamber a year or so ago, in lending its financial and moral support in an effort to disrupt the team sters strike, its attitude shortly afterward i'll trying to bust up the carpenters or ganlZatlOn when 1t was striking against the contractors, and several and sundry other instances of where the Chamber had shown its open antagOnisn, were brought up by the delegates. The result was that vote was taken to have the secretary notify the Chamber that the Council couldn't consistently vote its own money to carry on fight against itself and therefore desired to be re- leVed from any connection that might be thought to exist between the two bodies.
 The presidents of the Chamber for the past several years have been absolutely antagonistic to Labor. Col. l. NJ. Ullman of the StrOuseAdler O., and John E. OtterSon of WinChcster'S, having been those officers. A union man Is just as welcome to them as "a sunk at a lawn party. except that on election days the Colonel has a smile for the WOrker.- before he has voted. While the attitude of the new president Charles NJ. Walk CT, may serve toward better feeling Between the Council and Chamber, the Council intends to wait until 1t is shown.

Representative Fred. L. Perry of New Haven and Representative Major" John Buckley of the town of Union, added to their popularity with the anti-union in- terests in the Legislature this week, when they just couldn't keep their hands off the anti-strike bill which bobbed up in the House again and Leader Buckley tried to put 1t through. He didn't suc- cced even though warmly supported by Mr. Perry because when a fight breWed that might have resulted in the showing up of some queer tactics by Mir. Buckley he hastily moved that the bill be tabled temporarily but retain its place on the calendar. This was done and automati- cally puts ii over until Tuesday for action and in the meantime, the firm of Perry and Buckley will endeavor to muster enough votes to ensure its passage.
 The bill was tabled last week hur- riedly by the House when another row seemed imminent and it was reported that the penalty clause, which was not on the original bill when 1t came from the judiciary committee, had been writ ten i'll by Buckley without authority of the committee, even though he IS a member of it. The bill had been re- committed by the Senate at the request of friends of Organized Labor and prob ably to correct the error that Buckley assumed to himself.
 The bill came up on calendar Wednes- day Representative Wall of TOrring- ton, also member of the judiciary com mittec, asked that 1t be reCOmmitted as had been done by the Senate. MT Buckley promptly beloved his objections

Buckley and Perry Again Try to
 Railroad Through Anti-Strike Bill
Representative Nothing Vicious Towards Work
 Measure He Declares, Aiding House Chairman At to Put u Over.

and stated that 1t had been intended to amend the bill on the floor of the House and he wanted a chance at it. It then developed that he had slipped in the pen alty clause of $500 fine and six months in jail for violation of the proposed law.
 This was news to MT. Wall and others and a fight was on until Perry joined forces with Buckley, and headed off the storm long enough for Buckley to col lect himself and move for tabling the measure again. According to MT. Perry, who incidentally is being talked of for mayor of New Haven on the Ullman- republican ticket there IS nothing what ever vicious in the bill. It took care of and protected the WOrkingman and his contracts and is such holy and inspired idea that the worker ought to bow down in thank fulneSS for such benehClent legislation. He urged that the bill be disposed of at once thus saving himself and friend Buckley from more censure but so many objections began to such action that when Buckley got round to ask for tabling 1t was promptly done.
 Pcrry's attitude has always been more or less antagOnistiC toward labor as although a lawyer he has always held some sort of a political job and there fore seldom having had to rub elbows with either hard work or the worker, He was for many years clerk of the New Haven charities department, then clerk of the state shellhsh commission, ther secretary of state and now representa- tive and being discussed for mayor His idea of legislation that isn't vicious towards the worker hardly comments itself to those whom it affects.

FANS PROTEST HIGH
 PRICE OF BASEBALL
Think Charges at Weiss Park and About Circuit Could Well
 Be Lowered.

The cost of living ''maybc" coming down. as the open shop interests would have the public believe, but the cost of baseball isn't dropping any even though the hundreds of unemployed who would like to take in a game hereabOuts but cannot afford, 1t at the present prices are c1amoring for a reduction. All over the Eastern circuit, but especially right here in New Haven, is the demand going Up but no attention is being paid to it.
 The charge of $ cents admission to Weiss Park, followed by 30 cents for a grand stand seat, makes a dollar sick when carfarc to the park is added. There isn't a chance of a bag of peanuts nor a bottle of pop. Tn addition although no advance in prices IS allowed under the law, the prices for the Sunday exhibition games is doubled or more the excuse be- ing that Big leaguers" are the attrac- ton and worth the money. The fans would be just as well satisfied to see the home team work out with league rival, at a decent price, just in these times of stress particularly.

BAKERS SIGNED UP
 AT OLD WAGE RATE
Bosses Couldn't Very Well Sug- gest a Reduction With Own
 Prices Still Up.

Inasmuch as 1t would hardly be con- sistent to tell their bakers that the re- ducing costs of living warranted a re- duction in their wages when they them selves haven't reduced the price of bread the Master Bakers of New Haven this week signed new agreements with the employed bakers, retaining the same scale of wages as paid during the past year. The journeymen bakers on their part. agreed to some notifications of the use of the label on union made bread, the masters pointing out that in wrapped bread it made an extra cost to place 1t on when the wrapper could be made to do just as we'll. Hereaf fter the label will appear on the vienna and rye loaves which are not wrapped.
 All but the four firms that have been fighting the bakers union for the past year signed the agreements. These are Thompson'S. Chamberlain's. Roots and BeCk'S and 1t was reported that two Of these arc preparing to quit business in the near future.

HARTFORD FIRES COP WHO REFUSED
 "STRIKE DUTY''
Man Wouldn t Go to Thompson vile to Coerce Workers There,
 Loses Own Job.

Policeman Patrick s. Feeney was dis missed from the police force Tuesday night for insubordination following his refusal to go to Thompsonville and do strike duty" at the carpet mills strike there two weeks ago. He was ordered out to Thompsonvile by Chief Garrett Farrell in response to a plea from the carpet mills owners who simply wanted a large guard on hand when they attempt ed to reopen the shops which had been closed for several months. No trouble or indication of trouble existed at the time
 At an open trial before the full board the chief testified that the policeman had requested that he be excused from going to Thompsonville to protect the plant of the BigeloWHartfOrd Co. from strikers because he 'Would make enemies" When he was told that he could not be excused for that reason the policeman said that he would not make the trip. Consequent ly l9 patrOlmen and a sergeant made the trip instead of the 20 patrolmen asked foi by the company
 In explaining his action to the com mssioners Patrolman Feeney declared that the rules of the department defined a pOliCeman's jurisdiction as within the city limits Ot Hartford. He explained that he had no idea at the time that he was ordered out of the city that there was any authority for issuing such ar order %s
 The commissioners agreed that the charge of insubordination was covered by the policeman refusing to obey orders | from superior officer and recommends tion was made that he be dismissed. The vote was four for dismissal and one for l suspension for six months.
 Following the disposal of the caes Commissioner Morris Older, who pre- sided. read communication fro the igeloWHartford Carpet Co., explaining that the company had placed the namee of all of the members of the Hartford police department who were stationed 1T Thompsonvil1e upon the payroll of the company in order that in event of injury to any of the policemen they would be fully covered by the COnDenSatiOn act

Cannot Consistently Vote Money to Wage Fight Against Itself, Labor Organization Informs Antagonistic Body.

Because of the antagonistic attitude ot the New Haven Chamber ot Commerce in the past towards Organized Labor, and the extent 1t went to III exploiting that attitude, the New Haven Trades Council last night formally severed whatever connections it may have had with the Chamber and hereafter as heretofore. will paddle its own canoe without the Chamber. The Council has never been voluntarily connected with the Chamber but was swept into 1t some months ago when the Chamber absorbed the Civic Federation. Recently r. F: O'Meara was elected vice-presldent ot the Chamber, perhaps because he had been the Councils representative III the Civic Federation.
 The matter came up last night on re- ceipt of a bill from the Chamber of Commerce for $10 for the annual dues of the Council as a member of the Cham Der. The Council had never been asked if 1t desired to become a member ot the Chamber when the Civic Federation was taken in and therefore the subject did not come up before until the arrival ot

OPEN SHOP PUBLIC PROTECTION BOSSES
 ARE TOLD AGAIN
Dying Bleat of Anti-Labor Gang Makes Cheerful Sound to
 Hartford Gathering.

Hartford, May 6.-What is character ized by the Courant as strong defense of the open shop but which sounds more like the dying bleat of stuck lamb. was made here this week by Thomas ]. Kelley of national repute in the open shop drive, before the Elm Dlovers' Association of Hartford. Be sides other things that he discussed m generalities Mir. Kelley predicted the complete failure of the 44-hour week strike now on by job printers and on the whole painted WOeiul picture for labor in general unless it bows to the superior will and wisdom of the employers. An other thing he said is that the country is practically free from building strikes now because of the God chosen policy of the open shop. He evidently hadn't looked about him very much in Con- necticut when he made that crack. MT Kelley was, however, telling the em- blowers what they wanted to hear and he was liberally applauded. He said other wise:
 We are closing year whose out standing feature was the noSe-d1Ve Ot business from the unsafe attitudes ot the war and postwar periods here are fundamental essentials to per manent business recovery hey lncluug It elimination of OnerOuS taxation, tarlll that will differentiate between the cost of production here and abroad; square deal for the railroads in the interest ot improved service and reduced transpor- tation costs; the economic rehabilitation of Europe.
