WOULD WITHHOLD
CITIZENSHIP FROM
MANY ALIENS HERE
Hartford Social Worker Says They
Think 1t Only Means A Sure

Hartford, July S.-Problems of citi-
zenship and the making of citizens have
been more than ever acute since the ur1-
employment situation became general in
Hartford, Howard Bradstreet, secretary
of the mayors Americanzation commit
tee, announced at the final meeting of the
committee at the Old State House Tues
day.
rs it desirable that every alien in this
country should become an American citi-
zen?' he questioned. Our feelings on
the subject have often been colored by
eXpediency When the factories are de-
handing labor we are necessarily anxious
to admit these workers. With many of
them the thought of citizenship is synon-
ymOus with a sure job. They come to
us and say: We have our citizenship
papers, now where is our job? There is
no guarantee in the papers of American
citizenship that the possessor is entitled
to job
There are certain types, OF low men,
tally, Mr.. Bradstreet explained, which it
is not to the interests of the country to
AmeriCanize.
Consideration of the work of the COM
1nittee during the winter include the re-
port of Miss Harriet Ahlers on the home
and racial work under her direction.
Most of the work with foreign women
has been in their homes as they cannot
attend evening meetings. The father
and children have been able to study,
however, and to learn English, but the
consciousness of ignorance has made the
mothers lose control over the families.
Classes have been held at several settle
ments in cooking, sewing, English and
childrens play. There have also been
classes and morning work for men out
of employment.

BUILDING PROBERS
EXONERATE LABOR
Lockwood Committee Shows Wages
Have Not Increased With
Living Costs.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 9.-Rigid cross
examination of Henry w. Rust, sec
retary Of the Master House Painters
association, at the Lockwood building
probe. forced the acknoW ledgment
that labor has not secured wage IN
Creases in proportion to the cost OF
living and that everything else has
increased far beyond the average cost
OF labor 1t was shown that the IN
crease in labor cost was very neg
ligible thing compared with the IN
creased cost added by the contractor,
as a result Of which building opera
tons in the city have been checked:
Rust stated that when his assOcla-
ton raised wages OF non-unlon en-
ployes 90 per cent. prices to the pub
lie were increased from 100 to 800 per
cent. Later he admitted that prices
had been raised as high as 500 per
cent. during the past three years and
than more than rs per cent. was
charged over the rate paid labor IN
1917 the charge for burning Oft paint
was 70 cents an hour; IN 1920 TINS
charge was $I.4o-Ioo per cent IN
crease, and 50 per cent. more IMAM
paid to the men who do the work.
One of the ludicrous incidents OF
the probe is the attitude OF the anti
union Commercial, which SAID IN
leading editorial: Mr.. Ontermyer'
the Buffalo Commercial suspects
that you have political ambitions
The Commercial was never known
to say harsh word against big Dusl-
ness. Its manager, McCone' recently
told a congressional committee IN
WASHINGTON that the International
Tvpographical Union maintained a
censor over the press of the country,
and that only his publication and
three others were immune.

Bakers Lose First
Game to Gilbert Men
Union Team, However, Plays Good
Ball and Will Be Given
Another Chance.

The members of the New Haven
local Of Bakers may be and undoubt
eddy are good cake and dough mixers
but the members who compose the
Bakers ball team certainly couldn't
mix their hits and runs fast enough
last Tuesday to defeat team repre-
senting the Gilbert Baking Co. en-
ployes and the bakers were defeated
by a score Of II to 7. AS it was their
first game, however, they are to be
given another chance and will meet
the Gilbert team again next Tuesday
at Beaver Park grounds
The game was not without much
interest, however, a triple play by
Voland, second base of the bakers, to
Russell, the catcher, shutting off a
run at the plate also, was a decided
feature. Hickey's fielding was also of
stellar nature. The Gilbert boys
got most of their runs in the first two
innings when the Bakers steadied
down and. did little on their own
account.

i. s. INDUSTRIAL SEA
HAS TRAMP SAILORS
Campaign to Destroy Unions Is
Fitt:ngly Labelled by
Gompers.

Washington, July '8.-''Tranp sail
ors on the industrial sea" is the term
applied to anti-union promoters by
President Gompers, writing in Amer
lean Federationist, current issue.
"A great part of the campaign to
destroy trade unions" he says, has
been inspired by professional propa-
gandists-men whose business in life
is to go from one piece of expolita-
ton to another, organizing one move
ment and another, wherever the OPP
portunities for what is called easy
money seem brightest-have been
mainly responsible for perhaps the
major portion of the campaign against
| labor.
"They have found it ridiculously
easy to convince employers that man
ufacturing costs could be reduced If
| Business men, sagacious enough in the
ordinary routine of their affairs, have
been surprisingly easy prey to these
tramp sailors of the industrial sea
They have been as free and thought
less in opening their check books for
| this purpose as they VIGOROUSLY are
in opening their check books to all
manner of canvassing agents for his
tories, souvenir books and homes for
disabled cats.
1t is indeed regrettable that those
whose motives are no higher than
immediate personal gain at any cost
should have been so able to influence
portion Of the industrial world in
favor of autocratic control.
| at is fortunate for the welfare OF
the nation that the labor movement
does not capitulate before every
spasm of passing opposition. 1t is
fortunate that there are these great
organizations striving for the welfare
Of humanity, opposing themselves al
ways to the forces Of self-aggrandize-
ment and greed and to the forces OF
reaction and autocracy."

FARMERS RUIN LAID
TO RAILS AND BANKS:
RELIEF IS DEMANDED
Nationwide Financial Cooperation as
Solution of Many Economic
Burdens.

Washington, July S.-Farmers and
stock raiscrs from all parts OF the
United States will gather at WASH
|ington to discuss plans for establish
ing a chain OF banks extending from
coast to coast. 1t has been called by
President Barrett, OF the National
Board Of Farm Organizations and OF
the Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union.
Last year, it is set forth III the call,
farmers Of the nation lost $4,000 oo,-
600 because Of inability to obtain cred
lit, which is laid at the door OF the
Federal Reserve System There were
contributing causes, but the strangle-
hold of the financial interests forced
|precipitatc defation and brought
Widespread ruin to the agricultural
interests.
Transportation, the statement says,
has laid heavy hand upon the farmer
and the laborer. Sixty cents out OF
every dollar spent in the United States
now goes to pay transportation costs
and into the pockets Of middlemen
and Dealers Thus out of the s.
spent by the farmer and the laborer,"
it is pointed out, ''other businesses
get $I.27 for merely moving around
the commodities bought. This distrl-
button cost might be reduced to 40
cents"
Under the caption, "The Railroads
Part in the Farmers Misfortune" the
statement reads:
The rise in freight rates, coming at
a time when farm prices were falling,
amounted to fragrant extortion. 1t was
caused by the law which guaranteed a
g per cent. return on valuation OF
$4,000, 100000 greater than the market
value of railroad securities. A large
saving is possible in the operation
OF the roads.
"a unified government regulation,
under the management of honest and
competent men would reduce the cost
of TRANSFORMATION in vast amounts"
