Joseph NJ. Tone, Democratic candi- date for Senator in the Tenth Districr, has been a resident of the City of New Haven for 27 years. MT. Tone started in to serve his apprenticeship as machinist with the N. Y, N. H. & H R. R. in 1904, and first became affiliated with the International Asso- citation of Machinists at that time During the war period Mr. Tone was actively engaged at his trade in sev- eral of the intuition manufacturing concerns i'll New Haven and Bridge port, being chosen by his fellow work CTS to represent them at numerous conferences with employers, tending toward harmonizing the working con- ditions existing in the industry, and achieved much success in this capac- ity.

Perhaps in the selection of Attor ney Benjamin Slade of New Haven for the office of Attorney General for the State of Connecticut, the recent convention of the Democratic party, made no more important selection or of man fully capable to fulfill the duties of the office with credit to the state and his party. For in Benjamin Slade the convention chose lawyer whom both bench and bar of Connec- ticut agree is one of the most bril- liant members of the profession, and as one has said, "the quickest thinker on his feet I ever saw"
 Had the convention combed the state in an effort to find a man who through sheer ability had risen from humble conditions to the height of his profession, it couldn't have selected one more filling the bill than Benja min SIade Born in Europe of Jewish

 WuO had been arrested and charged l with intimidation, assault and like
 nisdoings. He elected to take theil
 cases before a jury and of them all the prosecution selected the one which 1t considered the most aggravated case and made of that test. Another bit ter legal fight ensued but when the jury returned after considering all the evidence presented by both sides, its verdict was for aCqulttal and the de fendants discharged, at which the prosecuting powers immediately drop ped all the others.
 MT. Shades general disposition to- 1 ward Organized Labor was amply at l tested as conspicuously friendly few years ago when with Louis M. SagaI, he became owner of the Y. M. C. A. building in New Haven and they be- gan the remodelling of that large structure for office building purposes. Strenuous efforts were made by the interests opposed to Organized Labor to have the work done by non-union in MT. Slade and he insisted instead that none but strictly union men be employed on the job. The result was that none but Union men were em- ployed throughout and though the job was an enormous one financially, not penny was spent on non-union la bor.
 For IS years or more MT. Slade has been chief counsel for 5. z. Poli in his theatrical ventures and during that time has acted as his agent in all negotiations between MT. Poi and the organized labor unions employed in his theaters. He has prepared and suggested nearly all the agreements made between the unions and the theaters and with such a uniform spirit of fairness that in all the time there has never been serious dis agreement take place, or a disagree ment of any kind that wasn't quick ly settled to the satisfaction of the workers.
 The workers of Connecticut there fore can we'll feel assured that when elected attorney general MT. Slade will interpret the state laws in force and to be proposed, at least fairly to their interests.

Slade has had to fight for everything he got and how we'll he fought Is amply at tested in that today he is one of the leading citizens of New Haven, one of it's most learned attorneys and among the most successful financially of the city's residents.
 During the typographical strike against the New Haven Journal Cour- fer a score or more years ago, MT. Slade was selected as counsel to de- fend members of the union who had been arrested and charged with in timidation It was memorable fight before the courts but when it was con cluded the defendants were found not guilty and freed.

Tone was selected by the international president of the Inter national Association of Machinists to act as international representative of the association in Connecticut, which position he has occupied since that time, to the credit of the organized labor movement in the state.
 MT. Tone is still acting in the ca pacity of international representative for the Machinists' Union, and has gained great popularity among the organized workers of the state for his able and efficient manner in dealing with matters pertaining to the welfare of the wage workers in the state. "Joe," as he is faniliarly known to the people in the district where he re- sides, understands the needs of the people, and, being an orator of no mean ability, is we'll qualified to rep resent and legislate for the people.
