SILVER CITY UNION MEN FORCE
 APPOINTMENT OF PRACTICAL MAN

Incidentally at the same time the Central Labor Union took another trick in the game of municipal better ment when it brought about the ap- pointment of Robert Morrissey as park superintendent. Mir. Morrissey is a member of the Bricklayers and Plasterers union and as the parks in Meriden, in common with those other cities which have mountain parks have a great deal of masonry in their upkeep the having of practical man i'll this respect is also another big benefit to the city. Mir Morrissey held the position once before but was removed for political reasons by the republican administration His rein statement is thought we'll of by the thinking people of the city.
 The Central Labor Union at its last meeting also discussed the project Of compulsory military training in the high school and went on ercord as opposed to it. The bakers delegates reported the import of much out-of- town non-union bread and asked that all union men insist on home made

HOW IS BUSINESS
 IN NEW HAVEN ?

Business in New Haven is back to normal if you can believe "Wally The Barber" and well known box fighter. Wally runs a bar Der shop whe nhe isn't fighting and was asked on Thursday how he found business. Said Wally:
 Il tell you just how it is. This morning in comes a fellow and asks for a close shave-very close. This is Thursday and I gotta go to a funeral on Saturday. he tells me so l shave him close. That's how business is."

Labor Wins Fight for Full Time Appointee and Proper Enforce ment of New Building Code.
(SDeCial to The Labor News )

Especial to The Labor News.)
 Meriden, March 24-Thc Meriden Central Labor Union this week won signal victory in it's fight for the proper administration of the new building code when R. w. Barrow, nominee of the Building Trades Council and a practical building tradcSman, was appointed as building inspector on full time, instead of hay ing a part-time inspector appointed as some of the city officials wanted to do. His appointment was made for a term of two years at a salary of S15o a month, which salary although meagre in comparison to what the job is worth, will ensure a practical man on the job at all times and the better building in Meriden in the future

Instead there is evidence in the shops at New Haven and other points on the road that the New Haven" intends to do its work so far as pos sible. As an evidence of that the motive departments on the system were this week put on a six day basis and at an eight hour day and nothing so far said about the 10 hours or more that might be imposed under the rui- ings of the labor board. The car shops are not yet anywhere near nor mai working capacity and may not be for weeks because the road needs and needs sadly the motor power to haul its trains and is devoting every en- ergy to that end. Until the motive power is brought up to date there will be nothing doing in the car re- pair work. With a six day shift in the motor shops now on, the road will soon be in position to haul all shops and then perhaps the car re- pair crews will be brought back.
 The only other trouble on the New Haven is on the clerks, station and steamboat agents disagreement. Be- cause the shop crafts had the first call in the dispute the clerks have been put back maybe week or 10 days. The New Haven road clerks have a spe- cial grievance because of the fact that the New Haven took every advantage of the ruling of the Labor Board to soak the clerks on their half holiday, time off and every other advantage. When this was done the clerks were not fully organized but the action of the road has resulted in big increase in the Brotherhood membership. The brief is now being prepared and will be taken to Chicago by President Stearns perhaps next week. The clerks come next, according to pro- gram and their dispute will be up for hearing about the time the annual meeting of the New Haven stock holders is being held here. It may make interesting gossip for that meeting.
 The Labor Board is apparently in line with the railroads scheme to dodge the wage issue in the shops by farming" out their repair work to supposedly "outside" concerns while in reality simply leasing the shops to dummies to carry on the work osten, sibly by outside labor which would Labor Board As an instance of this  that the shop crafts on those roads which have already pulled off that trick, had no standing before the board inasmuch as the roads are not operating shops.
 B. M. Jewell, representing the em- ployes, objected. We do not know whether we are here representing railroad employees or not" said MT, Jewell Under the policy adopted by the carriers of farming out their work, they can change the status of employees over night"
 Vice Chairman Hooper said this matter had been fully argued before the board recently and he expected that a decision thereon would be rem dered soon, as he considered this is sue more vital than wages or rules so far as the railroad employees as a whole are concerned.
 "If I understand Jewell's conten- tion," continued MT. Hooper, "it is that the carriers are here reaching out with one open hand to this board for a wage cut, while with the other they are breaking down the organizations and crushing the spirit of the men"
 Exactly" replied MT. Jewell.
