conditions The labels were left off
during tic war period on agreement with

utnrcd extra labor to put them on and
lui5i could be saved. The Dill company
-: Baltimore, which makes them now

ing the same thing and even going
further and securing union men i'll diff
icrrnt cities to secure orders for its
rcady-madc clothes under the guise of
their still being union made. The COM

their goods in the future.
Because Of the stress of affairs in the
building trades, Frank A. Fitzgerald.
who is president of the State Building
Trades Alliance, felt compelled to re-
sign as chairman Of the Council board of
trustees, as his time is now much taken
up in touring the state. The resigna-
ton was accepted and J. E. Snow of
the Carpenters elected trustee in his
place.
Answers were received from Con-
gresham Tilson. and Senators Mclean
and Brandegee relative to the conlrnuni-
cation sent them by the Council asking
them to support the movement for the
release of political prisoners. AS usual
the statesmen promised to give the
matter their attention when it comes up."
The delegates from the Moving Pic
ture Operators reported that only one
theater in the entire city and district
now is not employing a union operator,
that being the Dreamland on Grand
avenue Within the month several thea
tiers which had opposed the unions here
tofore joined the ranks leaving the
Dreamland alone in its field now and
there is some prospect of getting that
and have the theaters of the city lOO
per cent. organized.
An interesting incident came up under
a discussion of the treatment of the re-
ception given labor bills started by
President Ornburn in which he stated
that the present legislature was hopeless
so far as Labor could expect anything.
He referred to the anti-strike bill now
pending and some of the older delegates
brought up the memory of when SINH
lar bill was up some years ago and the
Trades Council had hired and paid At
torney Jacob E. Goodhart $500 to go to
Hartford and oppose it. Mr.. Goodhart
is now one of the chief spouters for the
Manufacturers Association at Hartford
and when the same bill was UP for
hearing two weeks ago, tore into the
union men whom he had so strenuously
defended and upheld a few years back
when he wasn't SO prosperous.
The connitte appointed to wait on
the Poll management and seek to have
the printers label restored to Poll bills,
reported that not only had the Poll in
terests agreed to do so, but that the
label had been left off without its sane
ton or knowledge and would be restored
at once The Van Dyck Printing Com
pany, which does most of the Poll print
ing, was ordered to restore the label to
Poll work Immediately.
The Metal Polishers called attention
to the fact that the Winchester Company
is, working overtime on fishing tackle
and not putting its own stamp on them
but was Disgusting the work under the
name of ''Liggett" and universal. y
The strike of the polishers is still on in
the factory and union men who may be
intending to spend some of their present
idle time ahshin' were warned of the
| tackle.
