TROLLEYMEN VOTE ON ROADS EFFORT
 TO REDUCE WAGES
Ballot Today Almost Certain to Reject Company's Proposal.
 Arbitration May Follow.

Trolleymen all over Connecticut are holding a referendum today on the proposal of the Connecticut Company to cut their wages and from the atti-- tude of the men, as expressed at local union meetings held simultaneously last night, the proposal will be over whelmingly rejected The votes will be canvassed by the State Executive Board here tomorrow and the result transmitted to the company. If, as expected, the proposal IS rejected, the trolleymen will ask for the acceptance of their proposal which calls for an increase or, as provided in their rules, arbitration of the entire question. Un- der the Especial call' rule, every troll leyman must vote or pay a fine, so the full sentiment of the men is assured
 The wage cut proposed by the road takes I4 cents an hour from the 75 cents an hour now paid to operators of the one-man cars, down to eight cents an hour to be taken from the wages of beginners on both ends of the cars The reduction goes on to proportionate decreases for the older men with the rate of 51 cents an hour for men of five years standing and 45 cents to beginners. The men in turn ask a general increase to 85 cents for new men and graduated scale to s cents for old and experienced all around employees.
 Conferences on the proposed scales have been going on for a month, the agreement existing having expired on June l. The conferences came to a deadlock last Saturday when the company insisted on it's scale or none at all. This, according to the troll leymen's rules, has to be voted on by every employe and to that end special union meetings were held last night, the situation explained, and the refer endum held today.

Senate Refuses to Agree With Buckley in Pass ing 1t Constitution ality Is Doubted.

Although Leader Buckley succeed ed last week in passing the so-called anti-strike bill through the House, after bitter debate, the Senate this week refused to agree with him and adhered to it's previous action in re- committing the bill to the judiciary committee. This brought disagree ment between both branches and on motions for a committee of confer ence, Senator Alexander Delaney, chairman of the judiciary, was ap- pointed by the Senate and House Leader Buckley and Representative Nickerson of Cornwall, also mem bers of the committee, were appoint ed by the lower branch.

 Take in Eight Strike Breakers"

The first break in the ranks of em- ploying printers of New Haven, who refused to live up to the agreement for the 44-hour week, came Thursday when three firms which have held out for the last five weeks, sent for the printers union committee and signed the agreement Their shop labels were restored and their men returned to work The firms are the Hoffman Press and Mack & Noel, both of State street, and Teta's Ideal Printery of DiXWell avenue.
 Tn addition to this break in the ranks of the printers, the strikebreak- CTS they succeeded in getting to come here are already tir1ng of the strife and on Thursday, at the daily meeting of the Typographical union, eight of them deserted the bosses and applied for admission to the union. They were elected and immediately several others who were brought here under the belief that little trouble existed, made application for membership and they will probably be admitted to- morrow.
 The printers are well satisfied with the situation in New Haven and in fact everywhere throughout the coun- try Reports from city after city show gains made in the signing up of employers and the consequent reduc- ton in the number of men out on strike.

Famous New Haven
 Records Taken
State Seizes Colonial Times Docu- ments Under Bill Favored
 by Perry.

Armed with a document bearing the seal of the State of Connecticut, State Librarian Goddard yesterday afternoon iswooped down upon New Haven and cor ralled all the famous records of New Haven's Colonial days, bill to do so having been passed by the present legis- lature and favored by Representative Perry of this city. The documents are priceless, from a historical viewpoint, and the states and Perry's excuse for Selzlng them was to preserve them for future generations.
 The records, including the deeds from the town clerks office showing the sale of New Haven Cor Quinnipiac) to the whites from the Indians were all trans ported to Hartford by motor truck. They may be safer there, even though they were kept in freproof vaults here, but 1t is doubted.
 As a little salve for the seizure, New Haven can have photostat copy ot any record it may desire-providing it pays for it. Next Hartford will want udge's Cave, from top of West Rock.

TRADES COUNCIL APPRECIATES
 NEW HAVEN SENATOR'S ACTION
Votes Pleasure at Support on Com pensation Bill, With Especial Measure for McCahey on Anti Strike Law-Ford and Perry De- nOllnced

Resolutions of appreciation of the attitude of Senators BakeWell, Mac donald, Furcolo and McCahey of New Haven on the compensation act, and especially for Senator McCahey for his stand against the proposed anti strike bill. were adopted by the New Haven Trades Council at it's meeting last night and the secretary instructed to formally express this appreciation to the four senators from this city. At the same time the actions of Rep rcsentatives Perry and Ford, in not only voting for but strongly urging and supporting the antl-Strlke bill III the House, was denounced as beIng clearly an effort to embarrass and keep in subjection the wage earner.
 In the debate on the compensation bill on Tuesday last every New Haven senator lent his voice and his vote in support of the benefits provided tor the worker at large i'll the amend mcnts favorably reported by the judiciary committee. Although thelr efforts were futile, they stood by until the end and on the roll call vote didn't hesitate to be recorded with their wage earning constituents; They had been known to be favorably inclined towards the bill but deserve especial credit for resisting the pressure brought to bear by the financial inter ests of the state to kill the bill.
 On two occasions in the Senate, Senator McCahey has had the anti strike bill recommitted, the first occasion being when surrepticlous attempt to rush it through while mo one was looking" would have succeed ed but for his efforts. Senator Continued on Eighth Page.)

Teachers in the public schools of Con- necticut may be retired after years of faithful service, provided physical ex- animation shows them unhtted for fur ther duty but they can get no increase in their retirement fund, according to bill adopted by the legislature this week The teachers asked a minimum retirement fund of $500 but the legislature couldn't see any teachers getting that much and insisted that $500 a year would be the limit. To do so the state might have had to add an extra expense of $175,O00 to some of the appropriations and therefore the teachers couldn't get under

Dayton Central Body Also Declares That Anything Labor Gets Under or From It It : Has to Fight Hard for Despite Rosy Prom ises of Backers.

Just how the proposed City Manager form ot government affects and interests Organized Labor and how 1t operates in cities where 1t already is in existence is something that every organized and un- organized worker should take into con- sideration between now and June IA when he will be called upon to vote for 1t here. The proponents of the City Manager Plan for New Haven declare that Or ganlzed Labor benefits by it and holds up Dayton, O., Norfolk, Va, and other cities as shining examples.
 They are doing the same thing out in Y oungstoWn, O., where a referendum IS also to be held on the p1an The Central Labor Union of that city wrote to the Central Labor Unions of Dayton and Norfolk and got reply from Dayton, that if Labor gets anything 1t has to fight for that the City Manager plan IS rotten and Norfolk has the rottenest" Both these statements are interesting here just now inasmuch as Dayton has been held up to Labor as a model and only last Saturday the proponents had brought here one, H. H. Rumble of Norfolk to boost the plan here. For the information of the worker here, we reprint from the Youngstown, Ohio, Labor Record of last Saturday, May 28, the replies from Dayton and Norfolk to that city's central body.

 Congress District
Passes Measure for Congressman-at- Large on Orders" From
 Washington.

Connecticut will not be redistricted to provide for another congressman for an- other two years, even providing Congress finally passes the bill allowing this state another representative in time for the next election. That was definitely set tied by the legislature yesterday when the senate postponed the Bowers redistrict- ing bill until the next general assembly of 1923 ard adopted a resolution pro- viding for the election of congressman at-large if Congress passes the increased bill.
 The congressman-at-larg proposition had the backing of the five representa- tives in Congress who didn't want any changes made i'll their districts until they were around and had hand in the shake up so that they might feel sure of re- election. The Bowers bill, geographically, would make the state and extra district 'safe for republicanisn" alright but that didn't effect the present congressman. They wanted to feel sure also that they personally would be safe, so sent on rec concentrations that the congressmen-at- large policy be adopted for the next term at any rate. It was.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what
you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poOs contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie. and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than anything else YOU
can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will make
an abundance of rich creamy lather
and cleanses the hair and scaln
thoroughly. The lather rinses ont
easily and removes every particle Of
dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The. hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsiied cocoanut
oil shampoo at most anv drug
store. 1t is very cheap, and a few
ounces is enough to last eyervone
in the family for months. Be sure
your druggist gives you Mulsified.
