The Connecticut labor news., 1921-09-16

In the call sent out from the Fedora ton headquarters 1t IS stated plainly that while Labor may take the lead, the dem- onstratlon IS by no means to be consid- cred as a Labor movement 1t is to be an expression of the citizenship of the United States and Labor IS to take the lead only because of its great organiza- tion and its always firm stand against heavy arrnanents which lead to war even- tually and of Labor's firm conviction that 1t Is duty to be performed for the cause of country and humanity. To that end the central bodies are instructed to seek the cooperation of city clubs. school organizations, educational organi- zat1ons, Wonen's trade union leagues. consumers leagues, wornen's club, religi- ous groups, social center organizations, fraternal bodies, young mems and young Women's organizations and in fact all organlzbed or unorganized groups who want everlasting peace and hope to se- cure 1t by disarmament
 November II this year will be the third anniversary of the signing of the armis- tlce that ended the great war with a big victory for the allied nations. For three years disarmament has been the big topic of discussion and now that a conference to that end IS arranged for the date of the ar1nistice, 1t IS planned that the peo- pie of the entire world shall win another victory by declaring ernphatical1y that the nations of the world must keep with III bounds and do so without recourse to arms. The suggestion for the confer ence came from the United States and has been generally accepted by the other nations and therefore to back up the rep resentatives of the government in their efforts the nationwide demonstration is planned.
 The American trade union movement, the call states, has always made a clear distinction between disarmament and pacihsn and has repeatedly called for disarmament and therefore proposes to take the lead in backing up the govern ment in its plans for such a program. A parade IS the first consideration as by parade can the feelings of the people be shown best, and have each parade end in a mass meeting at which the best tall ent possible shall be secured to make the addresses. Labor as Labor is to be for gotten, the sole purpose being to make a national united exclamation that the United States Is for world disarmament and let the whole world know it.
 Paciism is to be absolutely barred. for Labor seeking world peace, does not countenance the fanaticism of pacihsm and it is made plain to Central bodies that it is not to adopt the philosophy of pacihst activity Cards will shortly be sent out to various civic and other organizations about New Haven, urging their cooperation Tn the movement and when sufficient responses are received general executive committee to arrange the affair will be appointed, with Labor only asking or seeking its proportional representation so that 1t will be the voice of the people instead of any part of the people that will be heard all over the land or Armistice day.
 ''The time has come to disarin" is to be the slogan of the day and in that all civic religious and other organizatins un- dubtedly agree. While there is almost two months Tn which to organize the movement, that time will prove all too short unless action is taken immediately and therefore the Trades Council has promptly referred it to an active commit teed last night with instructions to pro- ceed as fast as possible
 So far as possible the speakers at the mass meeting are to be confined to men of local repute who are sincerely inter eSted Tn the disarmament question. If absolutely necessary. but not otherwise e"eaters will be furnished by the Fed eration of Labor Warning is given to | beware of politicians jumping into the l limelight and endeavoring to turn the i demonstration to their own ends. The
 movement IS to be kept non-po1ftical, non
 sectarian and non everything else but pure Americanism in favor of disarna- fContinued on Page Eighty
