U. |. LAPRE. CHOSEN
 TO (. F. L. BOARD
Norwich Polisher Succeeds Late Thomas F. Brennan as Vice
 President of Federation.

Urgel L. LaPre a representative of the Metal Polishers and Buffers Union of Norwich was elected vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor by the executive board of the Federation at its meeting in New Haven on Sunday MT. LaPre succeeds the late Thomas F. Brennan also of Norwich, who died about two months ago. He also was polisher and the executive board therefore prac- tically followed out the desires of the convention both as to the locality of the office and the trade represented.
 Mr. LaPre met with the board and immediately took up the work of organ ization i'll his territory where 1t was left at the death of Vice-president Brennan. He is particularly popular with the mill workers in the eastern part of the state and is expected therefor to make an able successor to Mir Brennan. Suitable res olutions on the death of MT. Brennan were aHed and will be forwarded to his family and local union.

COMFORT STATION AT LAST SEEMS TO
 BE IN PROSPECT
Plans Now in the Works to Locate Much Needed Institution in
 City Hall Annex.

There is going to be a comfort sta ton in New Haven after all. That IS there is once again one in prospect and 1t will be located in the cellars of the City Hall Annex according to plans already drawn and in the hands of Director Lane of the public works department and now being estimated on as to the cost. The estimate may be had in time for presentation to the board of aldermen on Monday night and will necessitate the appropriation of a very small sum inasmuch as the city has already on hand all the ma terial needed to install the station, 1t having been purchased when an at tempt was made to locate it on the Central Green some years back, but which was blocked by the business and club life on Chapel street which objected to it.
 The comfort station has been con- sistently agitated by the Trades Council for seven or eight years and has been just as consistently blocked by those opposed to hasing~it on the Green or anywhere else that would be convenient to the public.' Finally the Trades Council got the aldermen "riled" at the action of certain park board members and demanded some satisfaction Even the aldermen couldn't get it so Director Lane and Mayor FitzGerald have gone ahead and had plans made for the use of the City Hall Annex. These plans call for ornamental koisks leading to the subway on both sides of the side walk leading to the annex doorway, The necessary sewer connections are already i'll the building so the city will be saved the expense of much of this work while but little changes will be necessary in the building itself, seperating walls being about all that is necessary. The station can be made large enough to accommodate about 40 persons at the same time and being right in the city building will be heated without additional ex- pense to the city also

BABSON PLANS
 ZONE BIG UNION" OF EMPLOYERS
Biggest Scheme of Kind Ever At tempted Where 20, 1000 Will
 Control Millions:

Boston, Mass Feb. 3.-Roger w.. ,Babson, financial propagandist who con- ducting a big business" campaign in various newspapers, IS going to build a small city in Wellesley, Mass, and plans to make it the industrial capital of the United States. He has bought 22O acres of land for the site and starts work this spring on two buildings, the first of the group that will eventually contribute toward making 1t the mecca where the industrial powers of the nation will gath CT and work for the betterment of the nation.
 MT: Babson declares that today 1O,- 100000 people in America are suffering from unenploy1nent-"ex extras" he calls them, who are out of luck except in days of unusual prosperity. In times of depression, 1t Is they, he says, who suffer Utilize this surplus, he declares, and you have ended economic unrest and general misfortune.
 According to Mr. Babson's view these 1O,OOO,OOO are the pawns. The players are the employers. some 10000 of them He holds that if these 10000 men were organized into one central organization, the problem of dealing with the 10000 900 would be simplifed This is what Mir. Babson proposes to do.
 There will be the inner chamber of the powers of production. There the men that control the country's great industries will gather. There will be kept their records, their charts, the up-to-date and constantly. changing values of statistics. There the secretary of the National Tex tile Association. the American Iron and Steel Institute and other great national associations can discuss the country $ problems like the Presidents Cabinet From there they may go to lunch togeth- CT.
 If more of those men who collec- lively hold the fate of America in their hands could go to lunch together, am sure business arrangements would be more direct, more affable, and that the people of the country would benefit enor- mously," said Mr. Babson.

Labor Nevs Starts Big
 Circulation Can1paigr1
Will Be Entering Home of Every Organized Worker in the State Within N ext Few MOnths-NOW Is Time to Join the Merry Party.

Every organized labor man in Con- necticut will be a constant reader of The Connecticut Labor News within the next few months and the paper become one of the most powerful organs i'll the state, following a campaign now under way and meeting with more than gratifying success. While the Labor News enjoys fairly representative circulation the great problems that are to confront the workingrnan during the next year or two make 1t imperative that every organized worker and the unorganized also, should be kept acquainted with affairs as they actually are and therefore The Labor News intends to give 1t to them.
 The officers of the many local unions of the state are well aware of the need of thus keeping the rank and file in touch with the events that are daily lowering about their welfare and are therefore CO., operating with the Labor News publish CTS in the campaign to get every worker in the line of subscribers The cam paign is being conducted under the man. agement of Julius Stremlau, former president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and late prohibition permit agent, with corps of assistants recruited from Labor union ranks.
 During the past week, or so various local un1On meetings have been visited and the project explained to the members and the response has been as stated, very gratifying. Labor men are waking up more every day to the necessity of keep ing tabs on the interests opposed to Labor and are learning that they cannot do so in the financially inspired daily press. Only through the labor paper can they hope to get at the real facts of the case an they are therefore quick to re- spond when the opportunity IS placed be- fore them
 A personal canvas of the members and their homes will follow the meeting visits and will be continued until the Labor News IS going into the home of every organized labor man in Connecticut. The paper costs but $1.5O per year, delivered every Saturday morning by mail and Fri day night if you happen to be lucky. That is less than three cents week and there isn't a worker in the entire state who will not agree that its the best three cents worth he ever got. The Labor News is not seeking to curry favor-it has the goods and proposes to deliver them into the homes of the workers Get aboard and send in your subscription, if you haven't already done so.

The question was brought up in view of the projected big public i'm provements now under way by the city. While the building workers were perhaps the most interested in the passage of such an ordinance fav- bring local contractors and labor 1t was pointed out in the debate that ensued that by having such law in operation every industry in the city would be benefited even though such might not appear on the surface. The possible exception noted was in bridge construction but even here 1t was pointed out New Haven has con tractors of sufficient ability and finan- cial responsibility to even undertake these jobs also. The steel construc- ton work would, of course, necessar- fly have to be done outside, but it was pointed out even if an out-of- town bidder got the job he would have to go outside for that part of the work just as we'll as would local firm.
 Similar laws as the one to be re- quested by the Trades Council are now in operation in Massachusetts, parts of New York and many other places and have been found perfectly constitutional and have reacted to the benefit of the cities generally. New Haven with it's many large manufac- turing industries would be materially benefited by keeping all public work at home for by giving the work to local men, even at slightly higher figure maybe, the factories would be given the benefit and the workers thus the money. For instance should a local contractor get job for public building, he naturally would buy the interior fittings in New Haven while an out-of-town contractor would buy where he buys his goods in bulk and factures almost everything for inter for fittings and thus by keeping the work at home not only would the local building trades be benefited but so also would be the shop and shop workers.
 The discussion last night brought out that while the contractors in New Haven and organized workers gener- ally have gotten along fairly we'll to- gether they could get even closer to their mutual benefit if some such law was in effect. It is not to be expected that the city should give out its con tracts indiscriminately to local men if their bids are considerably higher than those Ot Out-Ot-town hrmS.
 The organized workers, however, have enough confidence in the New Haven contractors to believe they would act on the level with the city and would be encouraged to seek public contracts if they knew they had the backing of the city and the workers officially. The master build CTS have. frequently in the past ob- jected to out-of-town firms coming in here and taking big jobs over their heads, paying bonus wages to the ar tisans and thus compelling the local contractors to pay equally we'll to hold their men. The unions have never take advantage of the higher wages paid by outside firms and in creased their minimum wage scale, al- though individual members have been

State Federation
 Plans Big Meeting
 WithLaborLeader
Every Local Union in State to Be Repre- scented at Meeting Which Will Be Held at Garde Hotel on April 16 When GOmpers Visits New Haven.

Every local union in Connecti- cut, will be represented by at least one delegate at conference and reception to Samuel Gompers president of the American Feder- ation of Labor when he visits New Haven in April at the request of a number of Connecticut business men who desire to talk over the economic situation with him, es- pecially from Organized Labor $ standpoint. The conference will be held on Sunday, April 16, at the Hotel Garde, the meeting of MT. Gompers and the businessmen to take place on the day proceed ing at one of the local clubs. Ar arrangements for the Labor meeting were made by the executive board ! of the State Federation of Labor in meeting here on Sunday last and 1t is intended to make 1t the largest gathering of the kind ever held in Connecticut.
 The visit of Mr. Gompers to New Haven was announced some weeks ago and the dates tentatively stated as April 8 and g. They have now been definitely fixed for April Is when he will meet with the businessmen and manufacturers and on Sunday the 10th, when he will meet with the la bor officials and delegates. It was planned to have the meeting in Trades Council hall and this may yet be done, but the gathering will be principally at the Hotel Garde when the veteran leader will meet with the local representatives at luncheon dur ing the afternoon. If possible to have the gathering continue on at the hotel without interfering with the Sunday comfort of the guests and the man agement, it will be continued there. The state Moderation board instructed Secretary Ornburn to send an invita- ton to every local labor union ln the state, asking them to be represented by at least one delegate to the con- ference. The meeting will be of the utmost importance to every organized worker and it Is therefore expected that the various unions will not only be represented but be represented ln force
 The executive Board also took up me I1dLIGI OI CllPIOylAS PCl lAailSh counsel for the Federation to keep an eye out for anti-labor proposals in the legislature and city councils and to also be at the command of any local organizations that may become in volved in legal difficulties with em- ployers or others. The need of such a permanent counsel issapparent and growing more so every day but before going ahead with 1t 1t was decided to circularize the various local unions and get their expression of opinion as to whether or not the expense should be undertaken. A very insignificant per capita tax would provide for the employment of counsel permanently and would result in a great saving to every local union, not one of which but is obliged at some time or an other during every year to pay tor the services of an attorney and pay fees that would more than take care of the very small assessment that would provide for permanent counsel

BAKERS TO GET
 BIG WAGE SLASH
 BOSSES ANNOUNCE
Concerted Action by Employers to Make Workers Pay for Price
 Reductions.

After being forced by public opin ion to reduce the price of bread in proportion to the drop in the price of wheat and materials, the master bakers of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Northern New Jersey and other nearby territory are, apparent ly by concerted effort, going to take the price cut out of the journeymen bakers by reducing their pay. AL ready the cuts have been put into ef- feet in New York and New Jersey and a strike pretending, while the wage cuts in New Haven, and else where in Connecticut will go into eff feet on February 19, according to mo- tice sent out by the master bakers.
 The cuts, announced here this week by "The New England Bakers Asso- citation, affecting Connecticut bakers generally, are to range from $3 to $5 a week for men who have steady jobs while those who have only part time jobs are to be cut ST a day or night whichever he may be employed. Journeymen bakers are to be cut the .$5 a week while helpers are to be cut s, with specially qualified mixers ton.
 nat the HIGH VIII Ie5lAt tue wage cut goes without saying They know that there is no necessity for it inas- much as the prices of materials have gone down sufficient to justify the sale of bread at old rates. The new weight law in Connecticut is also costing the master bakers consider able because they cannot longer get away with "short loaves," but have to give the people their moneys worth. The workers therefore do not intend to have the bosses take it out of them.
