BUSINESS AGENTS
CREATE MIRTH AT
PACKAGE PARTY
Trades Council Benefit Sets Mark
For Many a Good
Time.

The board of business agents of the
Trades Council certainly started some
thing on Thursday night. with their
benefit party for the Trades Council
building fund They not only realized
a goodly sum from the affair but show
ed the Organized Labor men and
women of the city, who were present
in large number, that there is material
and spirit for many like good time
if they will continue to get together and
have it.
A fine program of entertainment had
been arranged and was run off in a
style that would make Poll envious. 1t
opened with a violin duet by w. Pious
and E. Frankford, accompanied on the
piano by H. Shifrin and the number
was an excellent one. Individual violin
and piano solos by the three followed
and then young Donald Cobey enter
tanned with song and dance that showed
he has great talent.
The riot" of the evening then start
ed when Frank Fitzgerald, business
agent of the Hosting Engineers, began
the auctioning off of the packages that
had been brought by those present and
contaiend all sorts of comedy articles.
Sam Simmons in his palmiest days on
the horse block never had anything on
Fitz, as an auctioneer. 1t didn't mat
ter if somebody did pay a half dollar
or so for a bundle containing an old
shoe or the like the comedy Fitz put
into it when he tried to say all at once
going, going gone in order to corral the
half before it got away, made up for it.
All in all the affair was hummer and
will probably be followed by other like
good times. The exact financial return
is not yet totalled as returns for tickets
are not all in but will be by the next
council meeting. The agents who con-
Quoted the affair are R. L. Ives of the
Electricians, P. F. O'Meara of the
Plumbers, Frank Fitzgerald of the En-
gineers, Geo. F. Mordecai of the Car
penters, M. J. Louden of the Ironwork-
ers, and M. Resnikoff of the Painters

PRINTERS APPLY -.
FOR SANCTION OF
PENDING STRIKE
Offer to Arbitrate Wage Dispute
Failing, Local Men Appeal
to International.

Sanction of a possible strike to en-
force the demands of printers. employ
ed in New Haven job shops for an in
crease in wages, was asked of the In
ternational executive board by a unani-
nous vote of meeting of Typograph-
1cal Union here Wednesday afternoon,
following the refusal of the members
of the Typothetae to further consider
the demands of the men. The vote was
taken following the report that the en-
ploying printers had broken off negotia-
tlons and had announced their inten-
ton not to treat with a representative
of the International union who has
been sent for in an effort to arbitrate
the subject.
F Local II at its meeting OH Wednes-
day evening also voted to request the
Typothetae for arbitration on the wage
matter.
Before a strike can be declared the local
if such a vote is sanctioned by the ex-
evutive council, the members will
further seek to arbitrate the matter.
Bfore a strike can be declared teh local
union as a whole must vote on it after
the refusal to arbitrate and it will there
fore probably be some days before any
drastic action is taken.
Th wage controversy involves now
only the job plants, the newspaper
houses not being involved. 1t has moth
ing to do with the 44-hour week, as
published stories indicate, as that issue
dos not come up until May 1. The
printers are now paid a scale of $50 a
week for 48 hours and asked $48 The
employing printers offered maximum
of $35 which was rejected by tn work
men. Offers to have an international
representative come here and endeavor
to arbitrate the matter were rejected
by the Typothetae and the vote to ask
sanction of strike followed.
The union representatives held an
other, and what the bosses claimed
would be the last conference, with the
Typothetae Thursday evening at which
time the proprietors again stated their
intention to give no further concessions
and not to meet any representative of
the International union, and that under
no circumstances would the Typothetae
arbitrate the matter of wage increase.

but what actually seems to be means
of providing 100 more lucrative jobs
for worthy residents of the right po1iti-
cal persuasion, a bill is to be introduced
into the incoming General Assembly to
appropriate 100000 for the establish
ment of mounted state constabu1ary.
Further along in the bill is. a clause
defining the powers of such constabu-
larry and which apparently shows up the
real intent of the bill which seems to be
to establish in Connecticut body SINH
lar to the mounted constabularies of
Pennsylvania and some western states,
which have been used principally to put
down strikes by striking terror in the
hearts of the strikers and their families.
The bill, it is said, is to be presented
by epresentative-elect Seth L. Pierre
pont of Ridgefeld, and it carries the
large appropriation stated, even though
the state is already millions behind in
its finances and the Legislature will
have to find some way, probably an adj
ditional state tax, of meeting this defic-
iency. 1t will have the. backing of the
Farmers Alliance" in the legislature,
the body which even more than the
Third House" or lobby, is credited with
running things as it likes in the Assem-
bly,. 1t will also undoubtedly have the
support of the manufacturers lobby in
asmuch as under the definition of the
powers the constabulary can be sent
anywhere to do anything at the call of
the governor or a mayor of city where
trouble pdrtends.
AS to the jobs provided the proposed
bill provides for nearly 100 with pay
ranging from $4,000 year for super
intendent down to $1,050 a year for the
privates in the ranks. In addition the
state is to furnish the mounts and their
upkeep, making in all tidy bit of pat
ronage and a political factor roaming
the state that would be very servlceable
