TRADES COUNCIL
 APPROVES PLANS
 FOR WEEK OF FUN
Instructs Committee to Sign Con- tract for Carnival Providing
 Legal Terms Are Correct.

After listening to the reading of the contracts proposed by the 5. s. Mcclure Company of New York, to this city during the coming fall or winter, under the auspices of the New Haven Trades Council, the Council last night by a practically unanimous vote, empowered the com mittee appointed some weeks ago to investigate the company and its offer, to go ahead and sign the agreement, providing that after proper legal tal- ent had been consulted and viewed the contract that there were no "Etheopians" that didn't appear on the surface.
 The dates for the carnival, and oth- CT details were necessarily left blank until the committee has secured the legal opinion on the contract. The affair will undoubtedly . be held in Music Hall, however, the refusal of several dates having been secured while the contract was pending.
 In the contract the Mcclure com pany agrees to put on a show of en- tertainment every night of the carni- val that 1t guarantees will eclipse anything of the kind ever seen here before. A novelty plan of admissions will also be worked out, whereby a fun seeker can perhaps have a good evenings entertainment for one lone penny. All in all the contract looked good to the members and if found legally correct, will be signed within few hours

 Southington Mill
Workers Refuse to Accept a 25 Per Cent. Cut and Shop
 Shuts Up.

Southington, Sept. 2.-Refusing to accept cut of 25 per cent. announced last Saturday to take effect on Mon day last, the employees of the Aetna Nut Company, one of the largest manufacturers i'll this town, did not report for work with the result that the factory is shut down indefinitely. The officers of the firm declare that the factory will stay shut until the workers accept the cut of a quarter of their wages.
 Immediately after the shut down the officers gave out a statement that only about 10. men had refused to work. That was almost instantly proved untrue when hundreds assem- bled at a meeting and voted to stick out as long as the company insisted on the 25 per cent. cut.
 The nut mills had been closed down for three months and resumed operations only week ago. As soon as the force was back to work the cut was announced and was met with the walkeut In a statement given out during the week the company said the reduction in pay was forced upon them by the prevailing price of iron and steel. This excuse only made the workers more firm in their standout against it. The men had taken cuts of from 10 to I5 per cent. on the factory resuming and are de termined not to stand for another cut of 25 per cent.

LABOR DAY PRESIDENT PATRICK F. O'MEARA OF THE CONNECTICUT FEDERATION OF LABOR.


 In the United States of America there is a law that sets as a legal holiday the first Monday in the month of September as a day of dedication to the laboring peoples of the coun- try Little thought is given generally to the real significance of the day.
 In most instances the day IS ob served by outings and other forms of recreation. The thought most dear to all that work for a wage IS forgot ten in the busy hustlings of the day, but nevertheless the same Is not for gotten from time to time, when few spare moments bring to the mind the great things that Labor has accom- plished.
 Great things have been done by Labor that history does not record. The country itself prospers only when the labor of it's citizens IS given will ingly, and the happier the laborer IS so also is the general community. Labor in it's organized form has paved the great roads to prosperity in our country, it has lent the hand of friendship to the downtrodden, 1t has influenced those that care little for the success of the community, to the con- clusion that what might be the loss has been turned to gain.
 The mental and manual effort of the laborer has made the good old United States what it is today; education of the children of the laborer has been propagated for years, and the result of education was demonstrated very effectively, when on April 6, 1917, the government of the United States de- c1ared to the people that an enemy was approaching. The laborer, re- minded of the conditions built up through his own and his children's s education, rallied to that call, and it has added another great chapter in history to the credit of the laborer of the country, Let us on this sth day

BANKERS STRIKE,
 SAYS COMPTROLLER
Government Officials Declare They Are Sabotaging the Nations
 Credit.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 2.-The bank CTS of this country are on strike, and are sabotaging the nations credit, were views expressed in financial language, by D. K. Crissinger, comptroller of the cur rency. in an address to the Cotton States Merchants association.
 The federal official said that the bank that refuses credit on proper security, or which maintains unnecessarily high re- serves (cash on hand) lis just as bad bank as the one which loans too freely and which encourages speculation"
 One-third of the national banks in this country -tare maintaining larger cash reserves than are either necessary or req Sonably justitiable." he said.
 An appeal was made for the bankers to use the Credits-and resources of com munity as a social duty.
 While Mir. CriSsinger pleads with the bankers to be just in the use of the peoples credit, which has been seized by them. the A. F. of L. declares that this power is too great for any set of men and that the control of credit should be a government function, because credit Is inherantly social"

HARTFORD JOINERS DROP SQUABBLE ON
 BUSINESS AGENT
Paying Both Gerety and Parsons
 Pending Action By Head

Hartford, Sept. 2.-George A. Par sons, majority selection for business agent of the local union of Carpen- ters and Joiners, and George J. Ger ety, hold-over business agent, who was defeated for reelection, still con tinue in the positions that they occu- pied a week ago as far as the local union is concerned. Gerety, by virtue of a sustained protest on a technical ity, is business agent according to the word from national headquarters, but under vote Monday night is considered as s-agent-under- protest Parsons, who received the majority of votes at the election sev- eral weeks ago is not recognized by local. Gerety is getting his salary by order of the national union and Par sons gets his by consent of a maj ajor- ity of the local.
 As an indication of local busine/ conditions 1t was pointed out by members that during the last two months there has been a sharp in crease in the number of working members in the union, so that now a good majority of them are employed while about two months ago more than half of the membership was out of work.
 Among the supporters of Parsons who resent the refusal of the na- tional organization to act immediate ly on the election question there is now little sentiment in favor of mak- ing out an application for separate charter.

Trades Council Bars
 All Card Playing
Complaints of Gambling By Unenl- ployed Brings Speedy Action
 to Stop It.

All card games are to be forbidden and absolutely prohibited in Trades Council hall ereafter, following action to that effect taken by the Council at its meeting last night. While card games i'll themselves are innocent enough and the source of pastime for the hundreds of men out of work and who congregate daily in the hall, complaints were made that there was gambling going on and that some men were losing what little money they did have, so the Council took prompt action and tabooed all cards.
 Since the unemployment = nation be- came orave +I L>tc , heen onen and .iganized La

According to reports, a number of sports not even connected with any of the affiliated organizations, "got the habit and made the halls a rendevouz for their games. At times they wouldn't even get out when told to do SO as meet ing hours were approaching They were careful to keep the coin under cover but when complaints were investi- gated and found true, the Council took the matter in hand and barred the games

Former Trolleymens Organizer Elected Trustee of New

Dennis A. Fitzgerald ,one of the best known labor men in New Haven and for many years an officer and organizer of the Trolleymen's union, was elected last night by the New Haven Trades Council as a member of the board of trustees to succeed Harold Marsden, of the Plumbers and Steamhtters who has left New Haven and therefore necessarily had to re- sign from the office in the Trades Council.
 MT. Fitzgerald is now a delegate from Carpenters Local 70, the trade to which he returned after his long service with the trolleymen. While he was always more or less active in trades union affairs, the return of MT. Fitzgerald to an important office in local labor circles, will not only be pleasant news to his friends but en- sure good and faithful service in the office

Accuses Roads of Concealing Receipts
Utilities Commissioner Asserts Funds Are Charged to
 Mythical Expenses.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Testimony before the Interstate Commerce Com mission in the hearings on freight rates on grain and hay was com pleted yesterday with the appearance of Clyde M. Reed, chairman of the Kansas Public Utilities Commission, who asserted. that railroads were concealing their earnings. Various funds, he charged, were being set un by the carriers of the west into wil: were placed cash taken from tk- 1T present earnings, while the carriers were complaining that they were not earning fair return on their invest mentS.
 Commissioner Potter had placed in the record an exhibit prepared by statisticians of the commission show ing the comparative wages received by. farm labor, which the exhibit showed to average Is cents an hour, while those of railroad employees were shown to be 6I.5 cents.
