NEW LONDON BANK BLOCKED HIM FOR
 MAYOR, SAYS FOX
Councillor Accuses Trust Co. of De- .- feating Hpsl to Get b
 Square.

made sN by tSa%"' oppo"ents C1ar@si the eo"aeii when the proposal for the charter change was up for consideration, that financial interest of certain special in terest cliques would get the city in their grasp to the exclusion and detri- ment of the public at large, seem to have been borne out this week when at the election of a mayor to sup plant Mayor Lucius Whiton row occurred and ended in charges by Councillor William C. Fox that his election was prevented by the Union Bank & Trust Company which in structed Councillor Malcolm M Scott, teller of the bank, and Councillor Waldo E. Clark, nephew of the presi- dent o fthe bank, to oppose MT. Fox s electoin. They did to the queens s taste and John F. Murray as mayor.
 MT. Fox is an anti-charter propon- ent and a firm believer in the right of the public being secured and has con- 'sistently fought all attempts to cur tail them. He has also insisted that the public moneys draw proper inter est and that is the reason the bank got after him. He hatly accused of
 
 Scott'S vote to which MT. Scott made indignant reply.
 Councillor Fox, in a lengthy speech, reiterated his charges that officials of the Union Bank & Trust Co.,, where MT. Scott is a teller, did mix into the affair, and intimated that pres sure came from C. H. Klinck, presi- dent of the bank and father -in-law of Councillor Waldo E. Clarke, who has opposed both Fox and Scott.
 Councillor Fox said: "I know why the Union Bank & Trust Co., doesn't want me as mayor. It is because I compelled them to pay AZ per cent interest on the $2oo,ooo funds of the junior high school on deposit there instead of the paltry per cent it was paying the city. Some of these financial and political interests are making a mockery out of this chartef I propose to investigate the events of the past two weeks and procure afidavits, and when I do I shall have the whole Story published of these tricks and political @1ntrigues, if I can get 1t published.
 Tt is an honor to be mayor, but it 1 cannot have it honorably and fairly 1 do not want it."
 The ballotlng for mayor resulted in the choice of John F. Murray Councillor Gragan nominated Mr. Fox for mayor, Councillor Thompson nom mated Councillor Murray while Coun- cilor Clarke nominated the paying teller of his father-in-law's bank, Councillor Scott. On the first ballot Gragan and Fox voted for Fox; Thompson and Murray voted for Murray; Clarke and Scott voted for Scott Mayor Whiton threw blank
 On the second ballot Mayor Whiton threw vote for MT. Murray, giving Murray 3, while Fox and Scott had two On the third ballot Scott him self voted for Murray while Clarke still stuck to Scott. This gave Mur- ray votes and the election as mayor. q

Strike of Seamen
 Ties Up Lake Ships
Crews Leave Vessels in Effort tc
 Enforce Eight-Hour Shifts.

Chicago, Oct 6.-Great Lakes sea men employed on Lake Carriers As sociation's shops are on strike to en- force the three-watch, Or eight-hour, system. The association is domin- ated by the Pittsburgh Steamship Company. The latter is a steel trust unit The Pittsburgh company owns but 30 per cent of the tonnage in the Lake Carriers Association, but 1t die tates the associations policy because practically all vessels depend on iron ore cargoes, and as the ore is con trolled by the steel trust 1t can be withheld from any boat owner who refuses to accept the steel trusts la bor policy.
 Even if the other boats could get outside ore cargoes," the seamen say, most of the loading and unloading docks at both ends of the lakes are owned by the steel trust, and boats could be unnecessarily delayed and discriminated against at such docks.
 This is the reason why seamen on Lake Carriers ships have been forced to work 84 hours week while seamen on nearly all other boats, which are not in the association, work only 56 hours a week" '%-

.SARANOFF HATS NOW
 NON-UNION MADE
Kilfeather Non- Union Cigars Also Flooding Market, Trades
 Council Hears E..

The Saranoff hat, formerly union made and much advertised and laud- ed by the United Hatters and other organizations, is now absolutely non union according to a warning re- ceived by the New Haven Trades Council at it's meeting last night. In stead of telling the trade of these con ditions the firm, according to a local dealer in the hats when his attention was called to the lack of the label in the new fall styles, stated the firm had told him that 1t was so rushed the work had to be farmed out and there was no time to get in the label. As a matter of fact, according to the warming of the matters, the Saranoffs have broken with the union and no longer entitled to use the label.
 Another attempt to befog the pub lie was also called to the Councils attention in the display of Hyper ion" cigars in Dunham's store on Church street where the window was filled with "Hyperions" at advertised prices less than theScost of. the cigar usually at wholesale. The Hyperion is made by John P. Kilfeather, who removed his union shop from this city to Philadelphia where he Is making the cigars under non-union conditions There is no suggestion of the change in the display now the impression be- ing left that the cigar is the same old HyDerion.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 REFUSES TO TREAT
 WITH SHOP CRAFTS
But Bardo Appeals to Engine Crews to Stick By" During
 Winter.

The New Haven road will not treat with it's striking shopmen as it no longer considers them as employees, is the roads delayed reply to the request of the shop crafts committee for negotiations leading to the accept ance of the Baltimore plan" which has been used and adopted by nearly 100 roads of the country to settle the shop strike. The reply was received last Saturday and the excuse given for the delay was that the committed s letter must have gone astray in the mails" The reply has been sent to the general officers of the strikers and pending word from them the strikers here are simply marking time and go- ing ahead with their meetings and other strike business as usual
 The roads snug feeling of being keep apace with needed repairs was given bump yesterday when the contract with the Groton Iron Works to repa1f rolling stock, was broken on order of C. w. Morse, it's president The reason given was that the shops are needed for resumption of ship building, but 1t IS stated by men en- ployed therein that the repair work was unsatisfactory because of the un- skilled men employed and long de- lays Tn getting engines in and out of the shops. The repair work was also creating unrest" among other me- chanics employed over east and 1t was finally decided the best way out of the muddle was to stop the re- pair work
 Although the road is continuously declaring its repair work is up to date and rolling stock in good con dition, the strikers know better. En- zine after engine, with the numbers and the damage, are daily reported to the men as being out of commission while car work is in deplorable state, they hear.
 MT Bardo will not admit it, but other operating officers, will readily do so but of course mot for pub1ica- tion with their names' as they have some regard for the safety of their jobs.
 The road is not at all satisfied with the condition on the engines appar- entity as yesterday Mr. Bardo assem- bled several hundred engine crews at the Cedar Hill yards and gave them a talking to. This was in the nature of plea that they stick to their jobs especially in the hard winter days to come and help the road get out from under the snow drifts the broken down engines will not be able to blow through. Maybe the men will

RESPECT LABOR FOR GREAT THINGS DONE,
 SAYS BISHOP THEN
Denver Prelate| Defends Rights of Workers to Organize and De
 mand Living Wages. e>

Denver, Oct 6.-The right of labor to organize, to a living wage, and the love and respect of humanity was emphatically voiced by the Right Rev. J. Henry Then, bishop of the Denver diocese of the Catholic church, at a mass meeting held al Grand Junction. On many occasions the bishop has evidenced friendly interest in the workers.
 7 Bishop Then was discussing the industrial situation as 1t prevails to- day. He declared that no one had a right to say that labor should or should not organize and pointed out that the. workers were organized 4,ooo years before Christ.
 /, Labor" said Bishop Then, "is the market of wealth. Labor is the starter in everything that, brings progress. Labor is the instrument that makes for things big and good in the world, and again I say, labor is certainly en- titled to organize and to be pro tected in it's organization.
 "You can not condemn labor for any past mistakes that one of it's leaders may have made.
 Respect the workers, love them, show them that you appreciate the great things they are doing, so that this land of ours may be little Bet ter and a little happier to live in"
 Bishop Then told his audience of conditions as he found them in the large industrial centers of population, where men, women and children are and live in novels "that are a disgrace to call home
 "You do not see much of this in the west" Bishop Tihen said, be cause the western spirit would not stand for 1t, but it,is common ih the larger cities where industry is car ried on"
 The open shop, said the bishop, is wrong. It would place additional burdens and handicaps upon the workers, he added, and therefore should not be advocated or toler- ated
 In a recent issue the Denver Catho- lie Register condemned the Daugh erty injunction, declaring it certain ly would pile all the coal that IS need ed on the fires that bolshevist agitat- ors are trying to 'enkindle."
 Strikes, when necessary, are not declares the Register, and adds: "A mere fiat of a few office holders does not make things moral or immoral The law of right or wrong is based on something higher than the whims of political boards"

Congressional Investigation Of Referee C. E. Hoadey To
 Be Asked At The Re- Opening Of Congress Next S1ontf
You Service Men,
 Just Read This Then Pass It On

Attorney General Daugherty, telling the court why the railroad injunction should be granted, pledged his governmental power in defense of the "open shop the anti-union shop.
 One of Daugherty's assistants helped to clear up the question, proceeding where Daugherty left off. This assistant United States Attorney General, A. A. McLaugh- lin, said to the Court, as quoted in the Philadelphia Record:
 THE COURAGE OF THE STRIKEBREAKERS w H O HAVE CARRIED ON IN THE FACE OF VIOLENCE AND EVEN MURDER IS EVEN GREATER THAN THE COUR- AGE OF THE SOLDIER IN FRANCE" :
 This tribute to the strikebreaker, who needs no characterization here, will be resented by every man who fought in France, and its bit ter unfairness will be understood by them as well as by union men who have struggled and suffered to maintain human freedom, both in industry and in the political world.
 For a government official to at tribute to strikebr eakers a courage above the courage of the men who fought III France is about the last word in sycophantic worship at the shrine of greed.

1 The Republic Publishing Company had a plant on Chapel street which
 was put together with the aid of Bos- ton capital by the New Haven news writers when they went on strike three years ago last month and es- tabl1shed newspaper called The Re
 porter. The plant was never put into operation, however, outside interfer-
 ence and lack of sufficient capital to fight this interference obliging the re-
 porters to finally give up the attempt.
 The plant lay idle for several months and two years ago was taken over by a company formed to published a newspaper called The Republic but after about five months that, too, be-
 cause of outside interference was a
 failure and was finally thrown into
 bankruptcy on application of the
 workers who were. owed wages.
 The Boston people who had sunk
 their mone yin the original plant were
 still mortgage holders but claim that
 when the case was thrown into bank
 ruptcy they lost out completely and
 by the delay in settlement by Referee Hoadley and technicalities raised by
 some of those interested in the de funct company, have been unable to get justice or even any knowledge of the affairs. The plant was ordered sold at auction and was SO sold, year ago last June but as yet no final report has been made. It was stated, however, that this week Referee Hoadley had declared a dividend of I4 per cent on the wages of the work CTS but the checks have not as yet been sent out The Boston people, and it is stated other Boston persons interested in other cases that have been before MT. Hoadley and, ac- cording to them unwarrantedly de- layed, finally took the matter up with their congressman and demanded action.
 Both Mr. Tague and MT. Tilson are members of the Ways and Means Committee of Congress and late last April Mr. Tague rose to give notice of his intention to demand an inves- tigation of MT. Hoadley's office Mir Tilson, who had heard nothing of 1t, requested MT. Tague to grant him few days to look into the matter and MT. Tague out of congressional courtesy" agreed Then MT. Tilson almost immediately left for Europe, and the case in Congress has been held up since therefore On the ad- journment of Congress and his re- turn to Boston, Mr. Tague's consti- tuents began anew their demands for action with the result that he dis patched the letter to Congressman Tilson, written on the stationery of the Ways and Means Committee. The letter is plain enough and is as fol- lows:

RUSSIANS NOW
PREPARING FOR
HEAVY TRADE
Exports Increasing Steadily and
Imports Are Showing Gains
Along All Lines.

MOSCOW. April 24.-(By Mail)-
Detailed reports of development of
trade between Russia and the out
side world since the beginning of
1920 have been published in the So
Wet press, covering the period since
Russias first peace treaty was con-
cluded with Esthonia when the block
ade against Russia was brought to
an end Chiefly due to lack Of sys-
TEN and the chaotic conditions which
existed during 1920, Russia export
ed but little in that time, the i'm
ports, however, being valued at So
100000 gold rub,es.
But as soon as trade agencies and
representations had gained a firm
footing in London, Berlin, Stockholm
and other industrial centers, an ac-
tual system became apparent in the
foreign trade of soviet Russio, all
business being carried on under su.
pervision of the peoples commissar
for foreign trade, L. B. Krassin.
In 1921, Russia imported goods
valued at 24S,OOO,OOO gold rubles,
equivalent to $124,OOOOOO, chiefly
coal, chemical and metal goods, food
stuffs and textiles. In the same year
Russia exported goods valued at 2O,-
100000 gold rubles, chiefly flax and
other raw. materials.
England took the lead in supply.
ing Russia with its needs last year,
with Germany second, The deliv-
cries consisted chiefly of agricultural
requisites. America took third place,
having supplied 16 per cent of the
import goods, exclusive of relief
supplies
The soviet press concludes that,
owing to the exhausted condition of
the country, it is scarcely consid-
cred possible to increase the ex.
port business during the next few
years. although, says one paper, an
improvement in the quality OF the
goods may wen be expected.
