METAL TRADES PLAN
 TO AID UNEMPLOYED
Big Mass Meeting February 27 to Discuss Measures for
 Relief.

A mass meeting to discuss the un- employment situation and endeavor to make plans for relief, will be held under the auspices of the Metal Trades Coun- Gil of New Haven at Trades Council hall on Sunday afternoon, February 27: The meeting will be an entirely local one, no outside officers of the Metal Trades unions having been asked to be present The discussion will have to do pertinently with the situation i'll New Haven and surrounding towns and what measures or propositions can be adopted for affording at least part time employ ment to the hundreds out of work.
 While conducted under the auspices of the Organized Metal Trades work CTS, the meeting will be open to all en- gagged in metal trades work whether members of the several unions or not. The unorganized men have been even more severely hit than the organized brothers and it is therefore expected that many of them will be present and look into the situation.

Plumbers Stean1fitters 10
 Incorporate for Business

intend to in any way reduce their mater ials costs but simply strive to put ev- erything onto the worker as we'll as fooling the public that Labor Is respon- sible for the high costs. A great num- Der of these employers have been made wealthy by the "cost-plus" plan and are loath now. to reconstruct their own business to meet pre-war conditions. They are not 1oath, however, to making their employees reconstruct their living even though the costs of rents, and otll- CT essentials has in no way been re- duced to make such reconstruction pos sible by a wage cut.
 After reciting that these wealthy, and powerful now, employees have forgotten what the war was fought for and the loyal workers part in it, but have be- come the same old money mad com bination of the past, the resolution adopted reads:
 Resolved, That this local Union of Journeymen Plumbers and Steamhtters of the city of New Haven, Conn.,, at this time, incorporate as business in- corporatoin in order that it shall be i'll a position to handle jobs of plumbing, heating and sprinkler work, in the event that its members desire this support
The Connecticut labor news., 1921-02-18

Incorporation as a business concern to prepare to take over plumbing and steamftting work if a wage contro- versy occurs this spring as seems likely, was decided upon by Local Union 349, Plumbers and Steamhtters, of New Ha- ven at their regular meeting on Mon day night. The decision to enter the business field and be prepared to handle work that will be on hand means that those who desire satisfactory work can secure it and at rates that will compare more than favorably with those charged now. The action of the union also means considerable of a revolution in trades disputes for i'll the past such action was undertaken only on small cooperative scale. The action of the union, however, means the establish ment of a concern that will not only keep it's members at work but will be able to give satisfaction to the custom CTS.
 The resolution as adopted recites the fact that there is an insiduous attempt on the part of the employers, to take away from the tradesfnen an existing wage which has been i'll operation since Juiy. 1920. The employers make no mention of the fact that they do not

ELECTRICITY PRICE
 CUT IN WORCESTER
Other Cities Expected to Follow as Coal Is Plen-
 tiful.

Worcester, Feb. 11.-Announcement of reduction of one cent per kilowatt hour for electricity for residential and commercial lighting, heating and cook ing has been made by the Worcester Electric Light Company on and after March 1. Users of electricity for pow CT and other manufacturing purposes will also benefit by the reduction.
 President R. w. Rollins of the com pany stated that advantageous buying of coal. enough to last practically the remainder of the year, has made pos sible the reduction. The present rate of nine cents per kilowatt hour will be reduced to eight cents for the domestic and commercial users. This rate is called the lowest in the state. Officials here look for reductions all over the state in electric and gas prices. They say increases were sought on the plea of high coal prices, and since the re duction of coal and decreased labor costs lighting should be cheaper.
 Up to the present time electricity and gas have been the only public commodi- ties that have not been reduced.

ASK AN INJUNCTION
 ON THE "OPEN SHOP

New York, Feb. 18-The district council of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners yesterday ob- tained an order from Supreme Court Justice Ford to show cause why a tenn porary injunction should not be issued against Henry J. Cohen, table manu- facturer restraining him from running his business aas an "open shop.'
 The application, made by Henry Kohn, treasurer of the council, declared that the defendant had a wage agree ment with the union which was to con- tinue until August 31, 1921. This also provided, he said. for arbitration of disputes and no 1ockouts.

PUBLIC WORKS HAS HUNDREDS OF MEN
 ALREADY ON JOBS
Will Give Hundreds More Unem- ployed Places if Aldermen
 Agree.

In addition to already providing some work for between 25O and 300 un- employed, Director of Public Works John J. Lane will go before the alder men at the next meeting and request emergency action so that several bridges ordered rebuilt can be started at once and work given to hundreds of others, skilled and unskilled, now walking the streets. All the public works possible are now being done but to stretch the work over a larger number MT. Lane has put the regular city forces on a fve-day week and spread this extra day over a large number of others who, on a. three-day basis are getting enough to keep them alive Some of the regu- lar city workers objected strongly to the loss of the day but as they had been employed steadily all winter, Mir. Lane held firm so as to give other family men at least a lift i'll their burden.
 The annual report of the department, filed this week, showed that the public works were run last year at an expense of $o0,000 less than they were by MT. Lanes predecessor in the rearly nor maj times of 1917, although the cost of everything has gone up greatly, It was run at about $15,O00 less than i'll 1919 but this saving did not come out of the wage earner, as through the efforts of President Ornburn and other officers of the Trades Council, a wage increase of 75 cents day was given all city work CTS last year.
 The figures show that it cost teh city $482, ,703 to run the public works last year when the price of coal, hay, oats, materials of all kinds and wages were higher than ever before. In 1919 1t cost the city $496,804 to carry on its work but back in 1917 it cost $542,o32 and not as much was accomplished as in either of the last two years.
 If Mir. Lane succeeds III getting the bridges in operation and can go ahead with necessary repairs to others, he will 500 nbe able to set several hundred more men at work and aid considerably iIs relieving the unemployment situation.

BRISTOL WILL LOAN FUNDS TO UNEMPLOYED Council Adopts Mayors Sugges- tion to Tide Over
 Depression.

Bristol, Feb. 18.-As a means of coping with the problem with which the city has been confronted as a result of inactivity in local industrial plants, the common council has voted to appropri- ate money for the use of unemployed persons here. The money will be loaned to any unemployed persons found deserving, without charge of interest, for a period of two years.
 The initial appropriation was for 1000, but no restriction was placed on the total amount to be expended, and as soon as the $1,0OO has been disposed of, additional appropriations of $1,OOO will be made as frequently as is deemed necessary.
 The action of the council was taken following an address by Mayor Joseph F. Dutton in which he emphasized the need of immediate action by the city in aiding those unable to secure em- ployment. His address was prompted by petition presented to the city by veterans of the World War, requesting the council to take action Tn the matter.
 Loans, however, will be made to un- employed men, whether or not they are veterans of the war.
