BROTHERS TRIM MARKETMEN HERE
 ON TURKEY PRICE
Shippers Raise Cost Seven Gents a Pound in Few Days and Local
 Men Are Stuck.

New Haven, and Connecticut peo- pie generally, will pay dearly for their Thanksgiving turkey according to developments i'll the local poultry market within the last few days Fur keys jumped from wholesale price of about A cents to 5 and cannot be had by the storage men at that and the New Haven storage men are stuck in consequence, and the retail CT, who did not get in on the early price orders will be stuck also.
 According to MT, Alexander of the wholesale and storage company ot Alexander & Links on State street, the local wholesale and storage men and tAe local retailer were given a great trimming by the poultry ship pers. His firm few weeks ago got quotations on turkeys which made It possible for them to quote the birds to their retail trade at 46 cents a pound Without notice the shippers few days ago jumped the price to the wholesale storage men'to B cents a pound and they must fill the orders they took at 40 cents and stand the loss of the difference. Retailers who were late in ordering will therefore now have to pay the higher price and with their own profit added the price of the bird for next Thursday will be Sky-hieh.

SUPREME COURT TO AGAIN DISCUSS IS
 PICKETINC LEGAL
Orders Arguments on Controversy Made for Third Time in
 Three Years.

Washington, Nov. 18.-For the third time the United States supreme court has ordered arguments on whether picketing is legal.
 The case was argued before the court on October 8, 1918. Two years later-oA October 9, Io2o-it was again argued, and now the court IS having lawyers discuss the case again.
 It is the first time the question has ever been presented squarely 10 this court and the time given to it by the supreme justices would indicate they realize its importance.
 In November, 1913, the American Steel Foundries, a New Jersey cor poration, closed it's plant at Granite year, it re-opened and employed but .37o of the 1900 laid off A commit tee representing the Central Trades Council and various locals called on the management, but the committee was refused hearing. A strike was called and the unionists picketed. The company appealed to Federal Judge Humphreys for an injunction, which was granted. The court held that there is no such thing as peaceful picketing and that the Granite City Central Trades Council is an unlaw ful combination.
 | On appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals Judge Hum phreys' views were set aside The circuit court refused to rehear the case, and the company appealed to the, United States supreme court, which has had the case before 1t since March /, 1917.

CONGRESSMAN GETS AFTER BIG SALARIES OF RAILROAD HEADS
Arkansan Also StartIes Colleagues by Lauding Work of Union

Washington, Nov. IS. - President Harding receives $75,000 per annum as the, head of Nation of more than 1OO- 100000 people and the president of the Pennsylvania railroad is paid $75. .460 per annum, said Congressman Parks of Arkansas.
 Looking back across the years to the beginnings of the life of organized la bor and the day of starvation wages, what do we ind?" he asked.
 "Without organized labor. without their battle for just and fair wage and reasonable hours of work, what would have been hecondition of labor today?
 It was only at the command of the congress of the United States that the railroads equipped their trains with safety appliances for the protection of the lives and the limbs of those who drive the locomotive set the brakes or direct the train. 1 recall that again and again these men, seeking to earn their bread in the sweat of tReir faces-1nen who were free and not slaves--found 1t necessary to appeal to lawmakers, and the govern ment once more stepped III and said that man should not be required to work more than 16 hours a day; and then, creased hours incident thereto came and WILL lIlC tNl li)lS 1NopOiiSliIlllllNo Ol ll1A and property n the hands of the en- ployes, they az ain found 1t necessary to appeal to the government to say what should be a days work.
 From the day the first piece of steel was laid until this hour, the railroads have demanded from the laborer all that physical endurance and the laws of the land would permit: they have taken from the public every ounce of flesh they were able to extract; they have never yielded until they had fought every inch of the way and exhausted every remedy known to the law they have demanded of committees rights of way, station sites and bonuses; they have received from ous tract of land to induce them to properties are worth $2o,ooo, ,ooo
 Yet. while you and 1 and the world are safely sleeping after days work, these railroad employees, who are so se- verely censurcd when they stand up for what they deem to be their rights. and even threaten to strike, must go out into the night and into the storm and rain doing their part to keep the wheels of trade moving and to silence the howl of the wolf at the door, Shall we con- demn the men for using the only weapon for his defense that he has?
 Let us inquire if he IS really over paid under present conditions The lab or board has recently said that the av- craze days wage for all classes of rail- way employees is $454 Allowing noth- ing for sickness or vacations, taking out only the four Sabbath days month, he works 26 days a month and earns SIS O4 or $1 ,4lo.48 for a full year. Natural ly some deduction must be made for sickness. It is easy to see that this is not sufficient to supply a man of family with the necessities of life'

Week of Merrirnent
 Gets Great Start
Trades Councils Frolic Making Hit With Members Though Yet
 Far Away.

Reports of the progress of the "Week of Merriment" to be held by the New Haven Trades Council at Music Hall beginning January o., made to the meeting of the Council last night, show more interest by To- cal union men than i'll any event given under local union auspices in many years. The response from every union in the city was almost unani- nous in the preliminary preparations but few if any organization members having not already disposed of many season tickets for the event The unique scheme of disposing of the tickets, whereby everyone gets some thing for his money right off, is mak- ing big hit and argues slccess for the affair.
 The Council meeting last night elected Ralph Ives, former business agent of the Electrical Workers, as personal representative of the Coufl- cil with the B. C. McGuire Company of New York which will conduct the vaudeville and other amusement fea- lures of the "Week of Merriment The details of the program are now being rapidly worked out and from the outlook at present a royal good time is assured.

While 1t was ex- plained that large financial support could Hardly be expected from the workingnan at this time, because of the long period of unemployment, it was figured however that with the moral support of the central labor body of the city, considerable impetus would be giv- en the raising of the funds. The Coun- Gil, realizing the benefit workers and families secure from some of the in- stitutions listed under the drive, readily gave its endorsement.
