TELLS WOMEN VOTERS OF
 POWER THROUGH ORGANIZATION

An audience of over 100 women heard an interesting address on the League of Women Voters by Mrs. Kitchelt of Hart ford at the Girls Community Center Wed nesday evening. Mrs. Kitchelt explained the object and plan of the league and talked of the part the state takes in the government. She also explained how the women, if they are organized, can aid in bringing about the passage of legislation they are interested in.
 "Mrs. Kitchelt explained that the league is non-partisan. It object Is to interest women in politics and to urge them to join their own party, attend caucusses and vote on election day. She urged those present to join the league. Bulle- tins are sent out weekly to all members and through these bulletins they are kept closely in touch with state aairs. It is possible that a local branch of the league will be formed in Norwich, as several members were sign ed up Wednesday evening.
 The Community club weekly hikes will be inaugurated this (Thursday) evening. i The girls will leave the square on the 6.15 o'clock New London trolley car and will go to Sandy Desert near Trading Cove. They will take lunches along. On We'd i nesday June 18th, the club will hold a ] housewarming at the club cottage at Crescent Beach. A large number of the
 members and their friends will make the
 trip to the beach by auto bus. Miss Bertha Hahn is in charge of the transpor- i tation.
 After June 18th the club cottage will
 be open for the season. Many of the
 club members are planning to spend 6
 week or so at the cottage and there vii doubtless be a number of weekend par l ties.

METAL WORKING TRADES
 ID RESIST MAGE


 Denver. June 8.-Joint action by all the metal working trades unions in the country to resist further reduction in wages and increases in the hours of la bOr, was urged today by James OConnell president of the metal trades department of the American Federation of Labor, in his annual address to the departments convention.
 Building trades workers also were warned that further wage cuts were not justified by William Spencer, secretary of the buildings trades department in his address before the departments conven- ton He placed the responsibility for excessive building costs upon the building materials dealers of the country and not on labor.
 President OConnen asserted the pro- posed plan for united action in the metal trades did not involve the "one big union" idea but it's purpose was to secure a clos CT and more direct cooperation between affiliated organizations. This would al- so enable the metal trades, he said, to act as a unit in opposing employers at tempts to abolish collective bargaining, the non-union shop and compulsory sign ing of individual contracts.
 Labor is not responsible for excessive costs of building, said Secretary Spencer, ] notwithstanding insidious efforts of cer- tain cold, calculating interests whose purposes are best served by attempting | t oblame the high costs on the back of labor in order that the building mateTi- als dealers may continue to reap their harvest of inflated prices.
 ] The secretary-s report showed that the membership of the building trades de pertinent had increased to S66.733, gair of 62.S15 for the year.
 | Tltrler toT of N1a TrIN 1r State Federation of Labor in addressing the convention declared that unscrupu lous employers in their efforts to destro, trades union movement were directinJ their fight on the building trades-th basic unionized trade in the Unite States.
 Slight wage reductions are necessar. in some places, Mir. Bulger said. bu this is not true in all communities
 In the convention of the metal trad workers President O'Connel declare that it was unscientifc and impossible { base wage reductions accurately on tn cost of living and urged that the mets trades organizations discontinue any ei fort of trying to base wages on the pre- vailing cost of living. and devote it's CT ergies toward deciding what we believ : should be our wages and conditions C employment"
 More than fifty per cent. of the mets 5 trades unions are unemployed. said NJ
 O'Connell, added that unemployment { this time is a disease, more dangerou
 and more degrading than any plague ths ever affected the huma nrace."
