TRADES COUNCIL MAY RUN ANOTHER
 BOAT EXCURSION
Discusses Plan for Sail to Coney or North Beach During
 Summer

The New Haven Trades Council may run another excursion to Coney Island or North Beach this summer, following plans that were discussed at the meeting of the Council last night and which al though postponed then are still under dis ICuSSlOn. The refusal of tentative date of July 28 for the Steamer Highlander was put before the meeting and was voted
 own because many present felt that date twas too early, considering the number OW out of employment hereabouts, but lii is possible that if date later in Aug Ist can be secured, the excursion will be !Conducted.
 < The excursions ran by the Trades Council last year were the only ones out ,Of New Haven in many years and pro- Ivided day of recreation and pleasure for hundreds, not only labor men and their families but the public at large. Numerous inquiries as to whether the Council intended to conduct another af- fair of the kind this summer led to the investigation as to possible date and ex- pense with the refusal of the steamer for July 28 the outcome While most of the delegates favored the plan, the date was considered too early under present conditions and the matter was postponed.
 Two new delegates were elected to the Council last night. They are John Brun- ing and William Henneberg, representing the Holders Union, No. 60.
 Reports of delegates showed little change in the unemployment situation ex- cept in the building trades, where most of the men locked out some weeks ago i'll wage reduction attempts, were reported to have secured work with independent employers and that the situation i'll that line was very satisfactory.

Aldermen's Efforts to Locate It on Green Be- hind Bennett FOun- tain Greeted with Horror"

Despite all the efforts of members of the board of aldermen, private citizens and others interested in the erection of a comfort station on the central Green, members of the Park Board who are opposed to placing the station there cannot be moved and it looks now as if the proposition which has been pending, about five years, will again suffer long delay. The Park Board now has charge of the Green and its leading members are dead set against allowing the station erected thereon, unless way up be- hind Center church, near College street. Aldermen say 1t might as well be out in Yale field as up there and have repeatedly protested to the park board. A final answer has been

Senator Costello Says He
 Is Friendly To Labor

the WOrklng1nan never had to wonder where he stood. He stood firmly with his industrial colleagues, even though he Is part of corporation. Fox was never found wanting when a Labor measure was up for action. He didn't have to go before his constituents when the session was over and say Il voted for this or that bill to help yOu," as Senator Costello has to do this time.
 Costello's vote on the anti-strike bill was proper. That was dangerous piece of legislation and 24 other senators recog- nize it as such. His vote against it there fore was not because he was friend of the laboring man but because of public policy and perhaps fear of the result on himself If he had gone back to New Lon don and had a record of a clean sweep against the working men and women there.
 In his excuses, published in the New London Day, Senator Costello says that he favors anything that will bring Labor and the employer closer together There were several bills. especially the one ad- vanced by the Connecticut Federation of Labor calling for a dual board to settle industrial disputes, that would have brought about Senator Coste1lo's desired end. Did he vote for them or did he help kill them?
 When the record of Senator Costello is compared with that of Former Senator Fox, it will be found that MT. Costello has a long, long way to go to match his predecessor in constructive legislation. Senator Costello was pot the only one scoted by the Federation in convention last week. He is, however, so far, the only one who has had to come out with an excuse for his actions and try to cover up by saying he "voted against the anti strike bill"
