REV. MIR. M'DADE DEFENDS WORKERS
 RIGHT TO STRIKE
Delivers Stirrnig Address Before Get Together Club at Hotel Bond,
 Hartford.

Hartford, Nov. 24.-Before an audi ence of 200 at meeting of the Get Together Club in the Hotel Bond Monday night, the right to strike was defended by the Rev Howard R. McDade of the Philadelphia Typo graphical Union as one of the funda- mental and indispensable preroga- tives of American citizens and de- nounced by Walter Gordon Merritt, associate counsel of the League for Industrial Rights, as one of the great est economic and social menaces fac ing this country today.
 Rev. MT. McDade said that trade unionism was one of the greatest constructive forces in the republic and Mr. Merritt declared that the evil effects of strikes are comparable only to those of war. Mr. McDade asserted that unionism was necessary because of the complicated and inn personal basis of modern industry and said, Everything trade <unionism is vancement of humanity itself; to end the rule of gold and establish the Golden Rule"
 MT. Merritt granted at the outset of his remarks that there were many instances where organized labor had accomplished much good and that 1t had been a force for industrial pro- gress in the nation and that capital could not be trusted to maintain propers industrial conditions without some control of it's actions, but he contended, society through the gov ernment itself should establish these controls and labor should not have the right to declare strikes in vital industries and bring suffering and hardship on thousands of persons not in any way involved in the particular question at issue:
 MT. Merritt's solution of the prob leni was to have impartial tribunals, established under the authority of the government itself, to which matters threatening industrial conflict could be referred for judgment and decis- ion. This decision he would make absolutely binding on both employer and employees and. would enforce the decree of the tribunal with the strength of the government, if need be- The time has come, he declared, when neither labor or capital should be permitted to act against the pub lie welfare in vital industries.

NO LABOR SHORTAGE HERE, SAYS O'MEARA
President of Connecticut Federation Says There Is No Labor
 Shortage in State.

P. F. O'Meara, who, in his official capacity as president of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor, has access to information which would lend a certain degree of authority to state ments relating to the existing indus trial conditions, claims there is no shortage of labor in Connecticut, but on the contrary there is surplus and a very large surplus of labor here, He expressed it as his opinion that there are at the present time between 3o,ooo and 10000 people without e1n- ployment.
 Commenting on the statement of Highway Commissioner Bennett that the restrictions on immigration should be removed so that more laborers could be had to work on the state highways, Mr. O'Meara said 1t is not more men that are needed but more money to be paid for those who do the work. He also said that if the contractors who construct these state highways would pay a decent wage he could personally secure 500 men at a very short notice and further more he could get these men right here in New Haven.
 "Mr. Bennett takes the wrong view or the ldDOr market, Sd1Q MT. O'Meara, with a wage between 28 and 30 cents an hour he need not expect to procure any labor.
 With rents no lower than they were during and after the war, and with the cost of food products sev- eral per cent higher according to the report of last month, a laborer with a family cant support them under a wage of 75 cents an hour. He can't live on a lower compensation and pay his bills. Rents have not come down in the last two years, and food is four per cent higher in one month.
 Look at building materials. They have advanced materially in three years. .-.-
 There is no use placing the blame on labor You can't do that. But we do not need more immigration. That is all tommy rot. Ten months ago 1t was reported there were s. GOO, ,ooo people out of employment in this country. In this city it is better than year ago and much smaller number are out of employment, but there are enough now. But many are working at low wage"

TEXTILE STRIKERS
 REFUSE OFFER
Will Continue to Combat Effort to Decrease Wages and Lengthen
 Hours of Employment.
Especial to The Labor News.)

Manchester, N H., Nov 24.-Con- tinuation of the strike of the organ ized textile workers of this city was assured this week when compromise settlement of the points at issue, offered by the officials of the Pacific Mills, was refused The strike has been in progress since February I3th last, at which time the mill officials made an attempt to reduce wages and lengthen hours of labor, but this effort was unsuccessful, due to the we'll organized condition of the workers z, Too great credit cannot be given the textile workers of New Hamp- shire for the splendid loyalty and undaunted spirit displayed in this de- termined effort to retain the right of collective bargaining and the right to receive a living wage for the efforts put forth
 . During the time this strike has been in progress, a period of nine months, the textile workers of Bal tic, Plainfeld, Taftville, and Moosup have contributed approximately SAL GOO to their brothers and sisters of New Hampshire and to say that this financial assistance has been and IS thoroughly appreciated is putting it mildly.
 As a matter of fact 1t has been the financial support rendered so freely by the Connecticut workers that has made 1t possible for the employees of the Pacific Mills to reject the pro- position made by the mill officials that the strikers return on the basis of a c2-bour XUorkinp week
 Prior to the Manchester strike there was very little organization in the textile industry in the State ot Connecticut, but the attempt made by the textile employers in New Hamp- shire and Rhode Island to reduce wages and destroy working conditions in general, awakened the. workers of Eastern Connecticut and now they can boast of a membership of $500 and of extending aid to fellow work CTS to which they can point with pride.
