The Connecticut labor news., 1921-10-28

The week was one of intense dis cussion and worry, not only on the part of the public but the parties in volved and the government itself. The attitude of the government did not give the workers much concern as they believed, themselves up to the moment of arriving at the decision not to strike to be within their rights and were prepared to go ahead with 1t. That they were within reason they were fortified in believing by the decision of the labor board that 1t would not consider any further wage reductions asked by the roads until next July at least and its hrmness in its order to the railroads that they should withdraw their demands for such reductions.
 The final conference in which the was quite stormy, if press reports from Chicago can be believed. The fremen's leaders were opposed to the action, so 1t IS stated, but finally agreed when the other brotherhood chiefs decided to cancel the order to strike. The opposition of the gov ernment officially to strike at this time had much to do with the decis- ion, although the men were ready to go ahead despite orders unless sat isafctory agreement was reached. That it was reached Is evident from the cancellation order. Just what the terms agreed to were, has not yet been given to the public. All the public and the railroad men know so far is that so far as officially can be done the strike IS called off for the present.
 Ben w. Hooper, vice-chairman of the labor board, attended meetings of the union heads, yesterday, and pre- scented copies of the boards recent resolutions not to consider wage re- duction petitions for any class of workers until rules and working con ditions for that group had been settled. MT. Hooper also was report ed to have urged cancellation of the strike order pending formal hearings on wages by the board and to have outlined to the unions possible plans for averting the walkout. He appear cd before them in purely personal capacity and not as a representative of the board.
 The unions held individual ocnfer- ences and then went into joint con ference to decide what action, if any, would be taken. Congressman-at- Large William Burke of Pennsyl- vania, general chairman of Baltimore X Ohio conductors, and Peter Kill duff, an official of the engineers or

Stuart Sliney, Old Ninth Ward Registrar, Goes Over to Roraback- Eaton C a m D. and Lands Internal Rev. enue Job.

Announcement of the appointment of II more deputy internal revenue collectors was made today by Col lector Robert o. Eaton. There wouldn't be anything unusual in that except for the fact that among them is the name of Stuart A. Sliney of New Haven, who for years past has been recognized as "the left bower" of Col. l. M. Ullman i'll republican politics and who for years was the coloneps lieutenant and spokesman Tn the old Ninth ward. In addition to this he was also a confidential em- ploye of the colonel in the Strouse- Adler corset shops and altogether looked upon as about as close as could be to the republican boss. His appointment to the revenue position, lends belief 10 the stories that have Slincv had tired of pulling the strings for the colonel and had gone over to the F,aton-R oraback camp.
 The probable appointment of Sll- ney to the revenue service has been expected by those on the inside for some time In fact 1t was definitely stated weeks ago that he was slated for the job but that for the looks of things the appointment would not be made until the city election in New Haven had been safely put out of the way. The Roraback-Eaton crowd weren't any too keen to see the Col onel win again but didn't quite dare to announce openly the feeling by the appointment of his sub-lieutnant Sliney, to one of the plums over which only the Roraback-Eaton fac ton have anything to say.
 As far as Colonel Ullman having anything to say about Federal ap- pointment goes, it is we'll known that he is down and out of it. He may be able to swing the postmastership appointment in New Haven. because

TREE LOTS" FAKE
 EXPOSED BY COURT

New York, Oct 2S.-Magistrate Mancuso has submitted a report to Chief Magistrate. McAdoo on his eN trated by means of the free lot' scheme, operated by 20 companies in this city and vicinity.
 It is shown that no free lots are given to prospective land purchasers, and that everyone IS told the same ed to lure victims out to the property. Where prospects refuse buy other lots and insist on having deeds for the prize lot many of the companies refuse 10 deliver the deed, some rc. turning the money that the victim paid for the deed, others holding the lays. One of the schemes is to tell the victim that his free lot" is worth $500 or $4oo and that he will be al- lowed this sum as credit on tlle purchase of two other lots which are priced all the way from $I,ooo to s. 900.
 The report. declares that this Switch" -"probably the cruelest and most culpable strategem in the whole design"
 After the victim buys a lot he is told that the company has pur- chaser who will keep the lot at by a deed that the lot is free from debt The victim, excited by large profits, strains every resource to pay for the lot, and then finds that the customer "has changed his mind

A SURE REMEDY FOR
 CHAPPED HANDS

With the coming or the cold also come chapped hands At least quite
 number of persons. both male and female, suffer from the biti winter winds in this way. The forthcoming remedy is an old one, and has been used successfully by country folk for generations past.
 Get an ounce Of beeswax, which you can find at any drug store. Crate or chip in small pieces into a small enamel vessel. Then pour on suff1> cient genuine olive oil to cover the wax completely. Put the vessel in a very slow oven until all the wax ceits- Then set aside quite cold. IL Is now ready for use.
 The chapped parts should be we'll anointed with this ointment at night covering the parts with loose ban dage. If used on the hands, substitute :" pair of loose, clean cotton glovs. The next morning the sufferer will ind that all traces of the "cha ps'' have disa ppeared

Although the apple and the ball are the oldest toys known to history the doll, with an ancestry dating back to several centuries before Christ, is the oldest plaything dedf- cated to the girI-the only one that In almost every country under the sun has been the first love Of the girl child and the love that has lasted the longest. In Egypt :. childs dolls were frequently buried with it Only a short while ago-witf1in a month in fact--there was discovered a clause in a certain will In which the woman specified that the dolls of her girl
 hood, treasured until her old age, should be distributed among the kid
 dies of her acquaintance with the
 same dignity that her other property
 was divided among the e-rown-ups. There are indeed no civilized and
 few uncivtlized lands, in which the doll Is unknown And 1t is the doll and the playtlliners that go with it
 that are perhaps the greatest educa- donal iactors in the play habits ano character development of tho chill l dren of the world.
 Yet for all the prominent part the doll plays in childhood tho average American knows virtually nothing about where or how childrens dolls | are born-at least so say those who are responsible for their being.

ANNOYING HROWs.

A wo>nans elbows have he-come ene of the most important parts nf he this season never in my life dream ed that short sleeves could be 50 short. or that they would have the vogue they are now enjoying

 All this of course. only ernphasizes the fact that the elbow must be sof and pink and as beautiful as the res of the arm, and it is, frankly, hard matter to make it so.
