EIGHT HOUR DAY TO STAY ON RAILROADS
Labor Board Upsete Plans of Man agers for Longer Hours in
 Ruling for Unions.

Chicago, Oct 14.-The railroad shop crafts unions won signal vic tory before the Railroad Labor Board here today when the board in supplemental order to its order of June, fixed the basic workday at eight hours, thus preventing the plan of the railroad managers to foist a workday of 10 or 12 hours in the shops, as would have been done had they been allowed to G/:t away\th overtime pay for more than eight hours. In the original order the day was left open and the railroads inn mediately began to cut off overtime and preparing to extend the work day to 10 hours at least. The shop crafts unions objected an dtoday the board officially upheld their contention and made eight hours the basic day.
 The board at the same time, how ever permitted the re-estabhshment of the piecework system in railroad shops, against which the unions had also objected on the ground that it was fair neither to the workers nor the railroad men as the tendency to rush work for more pay would result in poor work.

MAYOR WILSON IS AGAIN NOMINATED BY
 PARK CITY C. 0. p.
Despite Opposition of Chamber of Commerce and Newspapers He
 Wins Handily.
Especial to the Labor News

(SpeClal to the Labor News
 Bridgeport, Oct. 14.-Despite the ef- forts of the Chamber of Commerce, the press and other financial interests in the city to defeat him, Mayor Clifford B. Wilson who has always proved himself firm friend of Labor, was renominated tor sixth term by the republican city convention last night His vote was 21 to Is for Edward C. Spargo who was put up by the anti-Wilsoh faction to defeat the mayor. Mayor Wilson is now finish
 ing his fifth term and in the primaries held a week ago, carried most of the districts of the city but so strenuous were the efforts made to defeat him for a re- nomination that the city convention, scheduled for the night following, was postponed to give his opponents a chance to get in their work. They couldn't carry 1t through however and last night the mayor was renOminated.
 The fight against the mayor was not so much an attack on his administration as 1t was against him personally, he having had at all times the courage to stand up against those who sought to dominate the city's business and tell them where they got off. For six years or more they have been trying ito get" Wilson and this time thought they had succeeded. When the regularly called convention was adjourned last week without nominating him after he had carried most of the city, Mayor Wilson accepted the def and announced that If he wasn't nominated regularly at the convention he would run independently
 lmS attitude sort of nOn-plussed the opponents of the mayor but they never theless went ahead, believing that if he toI +1, l-., wouldn't dare run. The majority of the party however last night considered that If they didn't nominate him and. he did run independently, 1t would be all up with the party, so they didn't hesitate in 1nak- ing the rcnOminatiOn.
 All the newspapers in Bridgeport were opposed to the mayor, they being like most newspapers elsewhere, under the domination of the Chamber of Com merce and the business interests. The Times" is of course democratic and would naturally be against him but most strenuous opponents were the Republican Post and Telegram, owned and controlled by big financial powers and now being struck against by members of the Typo graphical union. They were exceedingly bitter against the renomination of the mayor but their influence has so dwin- died that their opposition became really an asset to him and he pulled through alright.
 With him was nominated practically the entire present administration. J. Alex. H. Robinson, city clerk and con- sidered John T. Kings right bower, was Howard Smoth for tax col lector and Clarence E. Winton for town clerk while Arthur Connor, Mayor Will sons tax assessor who was made the goat of an attack on Wilson in the legis- lature and his office abolished, was nomi- mated to head the new board of assessors to De elected The convention resolved into a complete victory for Mayor Wilson

Unemployment Confab Urges Adjustment of
 All Prices and Wages
Citizens in All Walks of Life in Group Intend ed to Intensity Move ment for Worldwide Disarmament - Will M e e t Tuesday in Washington.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Having agreed upon definite remedial pol icies for the emergency and per manent relief of the unemployed and the return of commerce and business to normal, the national unemployment conference yester- day completed it's labors, under taken at the request of President Harding and adjourned without date.
 To continue the work of the conference until the present emer- gency IS passed, the organization committee was ordered to select standing committee, to be named Monday, which will be authorized to reconvene the conference at any time.
 The final session of the full confer ence was devoted to the considera- ton of reports by various sub-com- mittees. In the main these reports were an amplihcation of general measures adopted by the conference, From several committees maj jority anu lIlluOllly ICPOllS "SlC lCNCANSd, notably in the case of the manufac- turers, but on motion of Secretary Hoover, it was decided that conflict ing opinions should not be enter tained for action by the conference, but merely made public as informa ton to the public.
 All interests within the nation were urged to join in effecting a normal adjustment of wages and prices in a statement on behalf of the employer members of the con ference, read by Ernest T. Trigg, of Philadelphia, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor ,pledging the supbort of la Dor to the constructive policies ap- proved by the conference
 In bringing the conference 10 close Secretary Hoover expressed the gratitude of President Harding to the conferees for their work, and de- clared that this was the only confer ence held in Washington, except un- der the stress of war, where ex- tremes of thought had been brought into agreement. It was noteworthy, he said, that GO persons could come to a common agreement on subjects which vitally affected everyone of them.

YELLED ATTEMPT TO DUST MURPHY
 AS COUNCIL HEAD
Labor Man, President of Aldermen, Will Probably Be Returned,
 However

What is considered a yelled attempt to oust John w. Murphy as president of the New Haven Board of Alder men, and incidentally dump Attor- ney Hugh J. Murphy as assistant city clerk, is said to be in the works and .hose behind it are using the now -vorn-out Heating -Cahill fight as the excuse in sounding out the sentiment President Murphy, who is said to have had leanings toward the Keat- ing faction of the party, is business agent for the Cigarmakers Local union and has been president for the antagonized the Cahill faction in any in control of the democratic affairs and therefore possibly a majority of the aldermen, inquiry among the lead CTS on the CahilI side fails to elicit any indication that they even know of, let alone sanction, the move.
 As to the assistant city clerkship, it is said that Hugh J. Gartalnd, also a local Labor man, a staunCh Cahill supporter and one of his deputy reg istrars, is seeking the job and has the support of the Cahill leaders and Or ganized Labor in his ambition. This is not true either ;nasmuch as the Cahll leaders deny all knowledge of MT Gartland's ambition and Organ ized Labor hasn't been asked for support and undoubtedly would not interfere if 1t was, lnasmuch as the office is in nowise Labor matter and it's selection one solely of parti san poli1scs in which Organized La bor cannot interfere.
 The whole thing seems to be move by someone to start something with the possible hope of landing right side up if rumpus occurs.

All Set For TradesCouncil
 Week of Fun
Carnival to Be Held at Music Hall January 9-14 With Gala Pro- gram Assured.

With the signing this week of the
 contract between the New Haver
 Trades Council and the B. C. Nc
 Guirc company of New York, plans
 for the 'Wcek of Merriment" to be
 conducted under the auspices of the
 Council were completed. The affair will be held at Music Hall during the week of January 9 to H. inclusive, and already a program that will sure
 ly entertain the people of New Ha- ven as never before has been assured, The Mcclure company which will conduct the routine of the carnival, has conducted similar events all over the country for fraternal and other organizations and everywhere, ac- cording to the testimonials given by those organizations, the affairs have been a complete success.
 The special committee appointed by the Trades Council to carry on the arrangements has also got busy and has enlisted the service of every officer and trades unionist i'll the city to assist in making the affair a sue cess. Unlike in most such affairs, no one will be asked to do anything for nothing either in selling tickets or work. The secretaries of the many local unions in the city have been asked to address the communications to their members and to compensate them for this they will be paid at the rate of a cent an envelope. As most of them have the rosters at their fingers ends, this will not be a hard affair and is stated simply to give an of how the affair is to be conducted
 As to ticket sdling instead of as usual, selling a ticket to some friend for a quarter say, and then later hay ing to buy one back from him at twice that amount, every one who sells any sort of tickets for the event will be compensated in some way, either in the choice of valuable gifts of jewelry and the like or oth- erwise.
 The program of entertainment will consist of high class vaudeville and which are guaranteed to be absolutely new to this section of the country. There will be nightly con tests for which suitable gifts will be made and altogether, from the pre- lininary outlay a real "week of mer- rlment' seems in prospect.

Te above are some of the. views ex- pressed by Samuel Untermyer, New York lawyer, i'll an address before the New York state association of real estate boards.
 The speaker referred to his experience as counsel for the Lockwood committee, created by the state legislature to investi- gate the housing problem.
 He said the housing situation is grow ing worse instead of better, and that the only remedy to break monopoly is jail sentences.
 Declaring himself bitterly opposed to the anti-union shop, he said, the greatest enemy of our industrial life and a peace based upon a friendly understanding be- tween capital and labor is, in my opir- ion, the United States steel corporation, which under the prctext of the open shop has for years been concentrating its vast power in the carrying out of a campaign of espionage and oppression aimed at the destruction of all organized labor.
 "The report of the interchurCh move ment must have convinced any fair minded man. if he had not previously been a student of the subject, and had been unacquainted with the second-story bludgeon methods of the company in dealing with labor, that the steel company will sooner or later have to be brought to a severe reckoning before we can have industrial peace in this country.
 "What an impertinence for a com bination, in itself illegal, to say that while 1t may maintain its corporate ex- istence no combination of its wOrkmen with others for protection against its autocratic power shall be recOgnlzed.'
 Referring to the Lockwood commit tees investigation of the steel companies, he told how the companies. as the open ing wedge of an anti-union campaign, organized the national erectors' associa- tion and the iron league in New York and in Philadelphia and decreed that all builders must get their steel through one of these groups, which would see to it that only nOn-uniOn labor was used in its erection.
 Mr. Untermeycr spoke of the diff ficulty experienced in efforts to put the big lawbrcakers in jail. 'We reached the stage" he said, 'wherc even the federal government and members of the cabinet took a hand and announced that there would be no drive against big business-Whatever that may mean.
 The dealers i'll building materials were peculiarly fortunate in the tribunal before which they were arranged on their pleas of guilty to violating the state law against criminal conspiracies.'
 The speaker declared that the rise III labor costs was a small factor as com pared with the increases forced upon the public by big business. :,
