ALL new ENGLAND
IS AGAINST 10 PC.
RAILROAD RAISE
Governors Committees of the Six
States Firm Against
Roads Request.

Boston, April 1.-Committees from
all the, New England states, meeting
here Wednesday, unanimously decided to
recommend against the 10 per cent. in
crease in passenger and freight rates
asked by the railroads, it was reported
here yesterday.
According to unofficial information,
the committees will report thtat, in their
opinion, the responsibility for present
predicament of the carriers rests with
the federal government, owing to its
failure to restore the railroads to their
owners in as good condition as they were
at the time the government took them
over.
For that reason, it is said, the COM
mittees will recommend that the COVER
nors of the New England states memoir
ialize Presidetn Harding, Congress and
the railway wage board, asking that leg
islation be enacted to provide that the
federal government extend aid to the
railroads to tide them over their present
difficulties.
George R. Nutter, president of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, and
chairman of the Massachusetts, commit
tee, which in keeping with other COM
mittees named by the governors of the
other New England states has been
hearing arguments for and against the
proposed 10 per cent. increase in rail-
road rates, said that the committee is
soon to complete a report which will
be handed to the governors of the vari-
Gus New England states. The commit
tee has been considering conditions for
several weeks.

EJECT STRIKERS
IN THOMPSONVILLE
COMPANY HOUSES
Carpet Workers Ordered Out of
Homes Though Willing
to Pay Rent.

Thompsonville, April 1.-The Bige-
loW-Hartford Carpet Company has COM
menced eviction proceedings anew
against at least four of its tenants who
are out on strike. Deputy Sheriff Frank
PaOla of Avon has served papers on
James Rossi, Whitworth street; T. Sem
inaro, New street; V. Nicotina,
North street, and Joseph Farsone, 9
North street, to quit the premises owned
by the company and summary process
papers have been served on them. The
company through its lawyer, James w.
Knox of Hartford, served papers on
tie men named on March 10 to vacate
the premises on March q. This the men
refused to do, and further proceedings
became necessary. The process reads
for the four men named who formerly
worked in the drum room of the plant
and left work on December % last to
appear in court Monday and show cause
why they should not vacate the premises
Lawyer Samuel Sisisky has been engaged
to appear for the men. The tenants are
ready to pay all back rent due, it is
claimed, and the eviction proceedings,
the first started by corporation in town
for many years, will be watched with
great interest.
Various departments of the carpet
mill struck against accepting a 20 per
cent. cut in wages and have now been
out Of employment for nearly five weeks.
Two thousand hands are affected.

ALLIED PRINTERS TO
HAVE OPEN MEETING
International Officers Here April

takers affiliated with the printing indus
try Other speakers will also be present

itely decided upon, but will be announced

Big Conference of Union Dele
gates at Boston Decides to Re-
sist Wage Cut and Is Warned
Against Walkout.
Especial to The Labor News.

Boston, April 1.-More than LOO
representatives of unions affiliated with
the Federated Crafts of the New Haven
Road, decided at conference here on
"Wednesday night that the efforts to re-
duce the pay of the railroad workers
should be resisted, and at the same time
were instructed to scarry back to their
several organizations a warning that
spies were at work among them trying
to influence trouble to offset public SYM
pathy. keep your feet on the ground
and pay no attention to the propaganda
being spread by spies and agents of the
tempting to create trouble among the
workers." was the instruction adopted
and it will be followed.
The conference was called to give the
workers the true facts of the present
situation on the railroads of this country
as result of the layoff of thousands of
men and the reduction in wages pro-
posed by the railroad executives. Inter-
national officers addressed the meetings
and stated that every means at the COM
mand Of the union leaders will be taken
to prevent the wages being cut.
A resolution was adopted indorsing
the action of the system committee of
the New Haven in rejecting the pro-
posed temporary wage reduction. Many
of the delegates expressed their Sentl-
ments to the effect that they were in
favor of going to any length to fight the
reduction.
The delegates were told that attempts
are being made to create trouble and
put the workers in a frame of mind SO
as to have walkout like that of year
and half ago. when railroad workers
in all sections of the country went on
strike against the wishes of their leaders,
They were told that plenty of self-ap-
pointed leaders are circulating among the
workers talking ''Strike,' but to pay no
attention to them.
The speakers told of their trips around
the country and the numbers of cars
and rolling stock that are lying on side
tracks awaiting repairs, while thou
sands of mechanics are loafng as a re-
suit of the attempts of the railroad
executives to starve them into sub
mission.

O'MEARA DIRECTOR OF
COMMERCE CHAMBER
Trades Council Representative in
Civic Association Chosen
By Larger Body.

Patrick F. O'Meara, who represented
the New Haven Trades Council in the
old Civic Association, merged some
months ago with the Chamber of Com
mence, was elected a director of the
Chamber at the annual meeting held on
Wednesday night. While the Council
was a member of the Civic Association
it has not yet formally affiliated with
the Chamber of Commerce, but the
powers that be in that organization ap-
parently think it will do SO and there
fore chose Mr.. O'Meara to represent
Labor on the official board.
AS forecast in The Labor News last
week, President John E. Otterson re-
tired and Charles NJ. Walker was
elected in his stead. Manager Charles
f. Julin was succeeded as secretary by
James E. Ferguson, until recently Boy
Scout master for this section.
The union label is the best medium
of advertising as it is costless to the
employer and the union pays for it.

GETTING
READY TO RESIST
WAGE REDUCTION
Efforts of Typothetae to Bust
Unions Likely to Be Met
With Strike.

There is no question but what the
printing business throughout the country
at the present time is in very unsettled
condition, due principally to the fact
the United Typothetae of America is
doing its utmost to disrupt all the unions
affiliated with the printing business, and
are signifying their intentions of rum
ming non-union, open shop, American
plan plants in the commercial industry.
There are some remote cases where
the newspaper publishers have joined
forces with the Typothetae in the fight
for the 44-hour week, notably in Bing
hamton, n. Y, where the printers have
been on strike for some weeks in the
newspaper and commercial composing
rooms.
While it must be understood that this
is not life and death struggle for
unionism as the international Typograph-
ical Union has weathered some heavy
storms during its existence, notably the
strike for the eight-hour day, when the
Typothetae did its utmost to disrupt the
printers, and from which the union
emerged victorious and is stronger today,
numerically and financially, than ever
before.
According to press dispatches this
week the proprietors of the commercial
printing plants in Boston have notified
the unions of a reduction in wages, and
the printers have requested the Inter-
national Typographical Union executive
council for a strike sanction. There is
little doubt at this writing but that there

NEW HAVEN BARRIERS
WATCHING BRIDGEPORT

BARRIERS in New Haven were much in
terested in the news from Bridgeport
that nine members of their craft had
beer locked out in that city, and that
five boss BARRIERS who had employed them
had surrendered their Union Shop Cards
and entered the ranks of the "open shop
pers" And while no trouble is antici-
pated in New Haven at present, union
BARRIERS declared that there was never
theless, some uncertainty as to what
course their employers in New Haven
would pursue in the future.
In Bridgeport the trouble was caused
by an announcement from the boss bar
bers that they proposed to cut wages
from SIS to $21 a week. 1t was the
contention of the Bridgeport BARRIERS
that this cut was unWarranted 1naSmuCh
as their working week was O2A hours
long and the new rate would give them
less than "a cents an hour.
New Haven union BARRIERS said that
there was, of course, no means of know
ing what their employers here would do,
but indicated that reduction in wages
would bring on a strike. They claim to
be well organized here, although there
are many BARRIERS out of work These,
in the majority of cases, however, are
men who went into the shops to work
and were laid off when the slump came
Only one boss barber here, it was
pointed out, had joined the open shop
council.

LEGISLATURE THROWS OUT
MORE BILLS OF WORKER
BIG COAL STRIKE
ON IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, April 1.-Success or failure
for the national coal miners strike which
began at midnight last night is expected
to depend upon the results of meetings
of the railway and transport workers
called for early next week.
Those who had been hopeful that the
railway men and transport workers
would find a way out of the difficulty
received little to reassure them in state
ments issued on their behalf after morn
ing conferences. These statements were
to the effect that the attitude of the mine
owners and of the government was re-
garded by the railway men and transport
workers as a prelude to general at
tempt to reduce wages and to get
to the old days of district, instead of
national, negotiations in labor disputes.

HARTFORD CARRIES ON
METER CHARGE FIGHT
Consumers League Organized to
Again Demand Prohibition
of Levy.

Hartford consumers Of gas are not to
allow the act of the legislature in throw
ing out the anti-1neter charge bills, to
stop them from making a fight to a
finish on the proposition. To that end
a gas consumers league has been formed
with H. B. Robinson at its head, Gen.
trail Labor Union hall has been secured
for meetings, and steps will be immedi-
ately taken to demand of the Public
Utilities Commission, prohibition of the
meter charge.
The league has the backing of the
Common Council which is already on
record as opposed to the charge and the
membership already numbers thousands
A we'll known lawyer has been tenta-
lively retained to carry on the fight,
which probably will be made the basis
for similar actions in other cities of the
state. A fund to carry on the protest
is being rapidly subscribed and the meter
service charge agitation bids fair to be
re-opened again.
