 TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
Calls Upon Hoover "to Refrain From
 Encouraging Them"

New York, April 14.-Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, is called upon in a letter made public yesterday by Samuel Untermyer to "refrain from encouraging members of trade associations to continue the illegal activities in which some of them have been and now are en- gagged"
 The letter from the counsel of the Lockwood committee that prosecuted the building trades associations was written regarding the conference of secretaries of trade associations which opened this week in Washing ton at the suggestion of MT. Hoover. The letter was dated April s.
 Protesting that, while there are legal trade associations, still more of such organizations are quoting high government officials of both the Will son and present administrations i'll defense of their practices, MT. Unter- myer declares that there are hun dreds of these criminal combinations engaged in interstate commerce that ought to be exterminated instead of being encouraged to further exploi- tation of the public"

INDUSTRY SHOWS
 BIG IMPROVEMENT
 THROUGHOUT STATE
Fewer Unemployed Reported While Building Trades Are Enjoying
 Quite Boom

Industrial conditions, especially i'll the building lines, have greatly i'm proved tlrOughou Connecticut with in the past few weeks, with New Ha- ven leading i'll the building lines but considerably behind the other indus trial Ccntcrs Ot the state i'll shop and other works. Hartford, according to the report of the state employment bureau, IS perhaps the best off so far in shop and other lines the number of unemployed asking for jobs there falling off 10 427 d large proportion of which were placed. New Haven had I,oO5 applications but as the shops there are not yet running any where pear normal only small num- Der was found jobs. Bridgeport had 72o applications, Norwich 425,\Water- bury OI0, all considerably less than the numbers applying q month ago indicating that conditions are some what, if very slowly improving.
 The building lines have been given great impetus and the campaign start ed year ago to slash wages in those industries seems to have petered out. in fact o1l one big job in New Ha ven now ii Is impossible to secure enough bricklayers and masons and duN eIllSC11lt tlllH nave been inserted III outside papers asking for such help. This is due, according to Secretary Champion of the Builders Exchange, to, the high wages being paid in New York and Massachusetts which have attracted artizans from this section where the anti-union shop drive was on. With many other big jobs either started on immediately or in prospect there should be no lack of building in Connecticut this year.
 In fact according to F. A. Fitzger- aid, president of the State Building Trades Council, the situation is bet ter now than in the past two years, Few men in any of the building lines are now out of employment, he says, and with what demands are being made for all kinds of help these will soon be working full time,

BRISTOL FACTORIES
 USE NIGHT SHIFTS
Industrial Conditions Show Big I'm. provement and Store Trade
 Increases.

Bristol, April I4.-Local industrial conditions are improving rapidly, ac- cording to the number of men being taken into the manufacturing plants each week so that the demand for greater production to fill orders may be met. The New Departure com pany has been gaining steadily and Is being followed closely in this respect by the Wallace Barnes company and the Bristol Brass corporation. The F.. lngraha1n company and other con cernS of the city are also running on a larger scale after several months of marking time during the period of depression. Several of the concerns are running night shifts to keep up with the orders and this improve ment is being reflected in the stores which have been meeting with great CT patronage during the last few weeks. Factory heads say that prac- tically all of the working men of the city have been engaged and 1t will be soon necessary to go out of town for help.

Moiders Strike in
 Ansor1ia Foundry
Walk Out of Farrell Shops When Firm Insists on Open Shop"
 Rule.

Ansonia, April 14.-Because the Farrell Foundry & Machine Com pany, which until few months ago conducted its foundry operations as a union shop, refused to restore the old working conditions and agree ment when asked to do so last week, the entire force in the molding de partment went on strike this week. The walkout was without a trace of disorder or excitement that has mark ed previous strikes in this city. The strike is expected to last but a short while.
 Wages or hours are not in con troversy the only question being that of the open or closed shop working conditions. No cause for the change to an open shop was given by the company which had always been fair to union labor Therefore the molders quit until the trouble IS ad- justed.

RAILROAD PLAN TO BUST

PRINTERS STRIKE
 HARTFORD COURAN1
Staff Quits When Management Re fuses, to Adjust Trouble in
 Composing Room.

Hartford, April 14-Forty printers employed on both day and night shifts of the Hartford Courant went on strike last week and the strike has seriously ;ntcrfercd with the publica- ton oi the paper, especially for the first few days because of the inability of the management to get printers to take the strikers places. The Courant finally declaring it had al ways considered itself an ''open shop' although employing union help.
 The strike was caused by several members of the Typographical Union employed on the Courant, leaving the organization when displeased over the conduct of some of it's internal affairs. The others employed on the Courant made demands upon them that they become reinstated and when they refused to do so asked that they be either discharged or advised to re- turn to the fold as the union men could no longer work with them.
 The COurant management took the side of the non-unionists and when it bluntly refused to endeavOr to adjust the matter the union men were called out. The few non-unIOniStS involved uniOnists they were able to scare up, got out d paper i'll much reduced form. Advertisements for printers spread broadcast by the Courant since, haven't succeeded i'll recruiting its staff and the paper Is therefore yet much handicapped.

Only Two Cigarmakers Affected By Closing, as Demand for Hy- periOn and I. c. s. Had Fallen Away to AL most Nothing.

Because the demand for the once much sought Hyperion and l. C. s. cigars had fallen off to point that almost we'll nigh wiped them off the smokers map, the Kilfeather Cigar shops in New Haven have been closed and according to announcement will be re-opened in Philadelphia where, MT. kilfeather says, he can get the cigars made cheaper. He may be able to do so, according to local cigar makers, under 'non-union" shop con ditions, which, if as reported MT. Kilfeather intends to adopt, will take what little prestige the cigars have left away from them.
 Tn the announcement of the closing of the New Haven shop, MT. Kill feather, as usual in such circum- stances, endeavors to blame 1t onto the high cost of labor here and says by going to Philadelphia he can get cheaper made cigars and thus sell them to New Haveners at a cheaper rate. As a matter of fact the wage question has had little to do with the kilfeather factory in many moons. It was clsoed down entirely for a period of three months a short time ago and for the past two months has been employing regularly but two cigar makers, the other members of it's once large force, being indefinite ly laid off"
 The first intimation of MT. Kill feathers move to Philadelphia came two weeks ago when word was sent to the former employees to take the aprons and tools out of the factory as 1t was going to be closed. They were given until last Saturday at noon to do so and promptly complied. It has since been reported unofflcially to To- cal union headquarters that MT. Kill feather had hired two floors in a Philadelphia loft building and prepar- ing to conduct a non-union shop there, send the cigars back to New Haven and Connecticut and dispose of them.
 He stated that his headquarters will still be maintained in New Haven but that his new factory will employ 50 hands to start next Monday. So far as local cigarmakers can ascertain there hasn't been any such extraor- dinary demand for the Hyperion and l. C. C. cigars to warrant the sudden advance from two employees to 50 and they do not believe there will be un- der the policy of the local unions and the Chamber of Commerce to "Pat- ronize Home Industry" This will be especially true, if as reported, MT. Kilfeather opens a non-union shop

Bait of Holidays and Half Saturday Off With Pay" if Elm plOyes Vote Down Executive Board Is Overw h e l m i n gly Turned Down.

What officers of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks look upon as de hberate attempt on the part Of the New Haven Road to disrupt the clerks organization by holding out to them the bait of pay for some holi- days and Saturday afternoons off, failed dismally this week, when the clerks by an overwhelming majority, turned down the roads proposition even though they were given only one hour to consider it. As result the clerks are working today Good Fri day) and will work Saturday half holidays, get no vacations and be compelled to work a full week ac cordEng to the recent ruling of the Railroad Labor Board allowing the road to handle it's clerks about as 1t likes as to hours and wages.
 Promptly on the Labor Board's s ruling the New Haven road put the Saturday full day into effect and de clared off all holidays, which the staffs formerly enjoyed, gave notice of Sunday and overtime work with out extra pay and otherwise grasped everything permitted under the rul ing. The clerks promptly protested through their executive board but the IOdu uGClluGu lO lC-OpCH lCSOlldllOIIS for the restoration of the former a counter proposition to restore the holidays and Saturday time off, pro- vided the clerks, if asked would work overtime and Sundays without com pensation to make a full 48 hour week.
 The Brotherhood chiefs saw in the move a plan to start dissension in the organization and then rejected it. The road was waiting evidently for just such an action on the part of the board and on Wednesday, just two days before the first holiday since the ruling, sent circulars to all it's clerks, making them a proposition as to holidays and suggesting that they ignore their union actions and vote for themselves promising to put cer- tain holidays into effect if a major ity prevailed. One hour to consiedr the proposition, throw down the union and "sign on The dotted line" was given.
 The result was anything but as the road hoped The clerks i'll the offices on Crown street almost unanimously rejected the proposition and stuck to the union The Y ellow Building staff IS not so numerous Tn the Organ1Za- ton, large number of those em- ployed there being rated as personal staff" and other excepted positions under the rules of clerking. The vote there was therefore not so heavy but added to what the employees in the Moeller building did, swelled the figures to a big majority against the road.
 The attempt to 'put the screws on the clerks" is shown in the following paragraph from the circular:
 "In the event that majority of the employees in any office or depart ment do not signify their acceptance of this proposal then the empolyes in such office or department will be continued under the provisions of the award of the United States railroad labor board, which precludes Satur- day afternoons off and pay for holi- days except when worked"

MT. Gompers will be accompanied by his secretary, MT Oyster, and ac- cording 10 their plans made two weeks ago, are to leave New York not later than } o'clock arriving here at 5:45- However this may be amend ed somewhat tomorrow, a teelgram received by MT. 'O'Meara yesterday stating that it might be possible for MT. Gompers to start for New Haven earlier in which case a telegram will be forwarded stating the time of their arrival here.
 MT. Gompers will be met by Mr. O'Meara, MT. Ornburn and several other local men prominent in the la Dor movement hereabouts and taken to the Hotel Garde, where, under his usual procedure, MT. Gompers will rest up for an hour He has been in ing of the Railroad Branch of the A. F. Of L. and has been having quite a strenuous seven or eight days. The luncheon at the Graduates Club will take place at 7 o'clock so there will be but little time for Labor confer ences tomorrow.
 The invitation to MT. Gompers was extended last December through Col N. c. Osborn, editor of the Journal Courier, and Colonel Osborn and sev- eral other prominent business and professional men desired that MT. Gompers be their personal guest while in New Haven. This MT. Com pers felt compelled to decline, not be- cause of lack of appreciation of the courtesy, but because his experience has shown him that wherever he is there are so many persistent calls upon him that 1t would make too much bother for a private residence and he would not wish to submit his host to any such inconvenience. Therefore he insists in stopping at a public hotel where the accommoda- tions are made for just such disturb ances.
 day for him. It Is planned to have an informal reception to MT. Gompers at the Garde Sunday morning between II and noon at which hundreds of local labor men and others desirous of meeting the veteran labor leader will have opportunity to do so. The entire main dining room of the hotel has been reserved for the address and luncheon to follow at noon and only the capacity limit of $50 has prevent ed a larger gathering of labor dele gates of the state. Every affiliated local union, and most of those not affiliated with the A. F. of L. such as the big railroad brotherhoods, will send delegates, those not affiliated realizing fully the importance of the gathering just at this time.
 The conference Is expected to last throughout the afternoon probably until about 6 o'clock so that Mr. Com pers will have a chance for a short rest before leaving for Boston at 7 o'clock in the evening, in which city a program almost similar to that in New Haven is arranged for him. He will first be the guest of the business men of the Hub on Monday and then address a big gathering of labor men.
