the tWo-thirds schedule 1t is a hard
ship for family to have to exist on
half pay while the bread winner is laid
up and tWo-thirds would be fair and
give the family a chance to live. That
to increase it would cause malignering
by the injured worker, he denied and
pointed out that in all the hundreds of
thousands cases already disposed of not
a half dozen cases of malingering had
been shown. 1t wouldn't be under the
increased rate either, he affirmed The
commissioners were a splendid body and
administered the laws fairly and Justly
as the few appeals to the high courts
showed.
The bugaboo Of higher cost was set
aside by Mr.. Danaher by declaring the
insurance companies in Massachusetts,
raised their rates when the increase was
granted and he didn't believe the Con-
neCticut companies would either. Asked
whether if the increase was granted any
objection would be made to setting it
back year or two, Mr.. Danaher prompt
ly answered NO. as the federation
realized that insurance contracts already
existed and should be lived up to-
Mr.. Wells alone rose in objection,
stating that the manufacturers objected
to the increase from one-half to two
thirds because it meant an increase in
the cost of insurance. Connecticut is
unfortunately located far away from
mines and other sources of supplies and
costs Of freights have tripled adding
more burdens to our manufacturers and
they are not willing to stand any more

The entire compensation law is moth

he declared, and that there is no logica
reason why an employer should pay any
compensation at all for injuries fol-
which he was not in any way responsible
Mr.. Ranaher at once arose to object

LABOR'S PLACE IN
NATIONS LEAGUE

Albert Thomas, former French
minister of munitions and now di-
rector Of the international Labor
Office at Geneva, will hereafter
represent labor at all meetings of
the council of the League of Ma
tions, according to announcement
made last week. Negotiations for
establishment of closer relations
between the Labor Office and the
Council have been under way for
some time and the new arrange
ment will give labor a voice and
vote upon all great international
issues coming before the Leagues
Council. Mr.. Thomas will be the
first representative of labor with
in the central authority of the
League.

painters are fully justified in refusing
to accept any wage reduction.
THE association has attempted to JUS
tify its reduction in wage by claiming
to have made 4 reduction themselves OF
80 1-3 per cent. in the labor charge.
Anyone familiar with the painters trade
can readily see into the fallacy OF this
claim.
In the first place most OF the work
is done on fiat contract basis and the
customer is in no position to know what
rate the contractor is figuring the cost
OF labor.
In the second place in those few in
stances where work is done on the basis
Of stock and time the contractor is al
ways in position to make up his prott
on stock and on time.
1T will therefore be seen that al
though the contractor can continue to
reap his usual profits the laborer has no
means OF making up his loss occasiOned
by reduction in his wages except per-
haps by a return to the old standard OF
10 and II hours labor per day.
I'VE are quite sure that the New Ha-
ven people after reading the foregoing
statement will be satisfied that the re-
fusal OF the painters to accept wage
reduction was justified"
The Connecticut labor news. (New Haven, Conn.) 1921-1925, 1921-04-08

In reply to the statement of the jour
ncy1nen painters, the employers assOCia-
ton made a statement in which it states
that the claim of the workers that the
bosses are unwilling to take their share
of the loss is an absurd untruth and
ridiculous statement. They then go on
to say that in the news columns of the
press the facts have been repeatedly
stated tune ana again that the Employing
Master Painters have reduced their
charges to customers 80 1-3 per cent. and
this in cooperation with their work
men. who have accepted a cut in wages
of 20 per cent. in order to stimulate
business which has been very dull.
1T is true that on April 1st AZ men
as counted by roll-call of the employ
ing master painters, did not appear at
their jobs for work in protest to the
cut and their places were Immediately
filled out of the vast army OF unem-
pl0yed mechanics who are in hearty ac-
cord with the cooperative effort Of the
master painters to reduce the high cost
of repairs and stimulate business.
"Other statements by few members
OF the Painters Union, such as they
were locked out. and the bosses are
CamOuiaging on their reduced charges
are gross untruths and are most absurd
ana ridiculous as well as their statement
as to breaking agreements.
The employing master painters feel
that they are making a sacrifice for the
people and they know that the people
today are keen enough to realize it and
will show their appreciation of it By
| Withholding their work for them.

Robbie Leads WAY
To Training g Camp
For Dodger Squad

NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-The
Brooklyns will start their spring train
ing here tomorrow Several members
OF the National League championship
team arrived to-day, Manager Robbie
being among the first to show up. He
came from Dover Hall, Ga, where he
had spent several weeks hunting deer.
The pilot did not take off any weight
during the winter and under the Dixie
sunshine acquired a fine coat of tan.
He is ready to get his players into
action.
Bernie Neis, the speedy outfielder. who
this time last year was getting his first
taste of big league baseball; Jack Shee-
han and John Miltjus arrived shortly
after Robbie. Neis and Sheehan spent
the winter in Chicago and rode from
the Windy City together. During the
off season the pair worked in the steel
mills and appear fit and ready. Bernie
also played basketball during the win
ter and is wearing a medal which his
prowess on the court won for him.
Sheehan is an infielder and ioined
the Brooklyns late last season. In the
worlds series he replaced Jimmy Johns
ton when the third sacker was forced
out of the game by injuries. Sheehan
was obtained from the Winnipeg club
of the Western Canada League He was
the manager of that club and acted as
his own third baseman. He is anxious
to show Robbie that he is well qualified

Penn Five Sets
ace for asst
Green Quintet

The race for the Intercollegiate
League basketball championship has
reached the homestretch. Penn is still
setting the pace--and a spanking pace
it is; but Dartmouth is clnging close
to the leader, ready to assume COM
mand and to dash on TO its first cham
ponship in many years.
Tho issue has narrowed down to
these two teams. The worst that can
befa.l Dartmouth, which trails Penn
by half game, is to be tied for second
place with Cornell, provided the Big
Green loses it's two remaining games
while the fhacans are winning their
two. Cornell closes its season this
week by opposing Columbia on Wednes-
day evening and Yale on Saturday
light.
Dartmouth plays only one game this
week, against Columbia on Saturday.
This should result in another triumph
Tor the Ianoverians, as the local col
legsans are about spent and ready for
new deal. Columbia's overwhelm-
ing defeat by Princeton the other night
convinced the Blue and White players
that this IS not their year, and they
will escape the cellar only because the
Yale team is so much inferior.
Following are the individual scoring
and team records to date:
