ANOTHER ECHO OF
 BRISTOL STRIKE
Contractor Now Asks Union Men to Finish
 lob

Bristol, July 7.-Mr. One-Dollar-a- Year Rockwell who was going to build the high school here for about $648,ooo when regular contractors in their bids said 1t couldn't be done for quarter as much more and who to make his boast good started to do it by cutting the wages of the union workers on the job has changed his tactics. After a strike that followed his wage cut and tied up all the work preventing the completion of the building, he has come to see the error of his ways. He has caused the following advertisement to be published in the papers of the state: "Wanted UNION men, wage scale rate, plus carfare. Apply High School Construction, Bristol, Conn"
 If ever there was come down there is one. A few months ago every union man was thrown off the job when the carpenters refused to take wage cut. The school wasn't finished on time and now Mr. Rock we'll IS afraid 1t won't be finished in time for the fall term. So he wants UNION MEN to come forth and help him out

BAKERS, BARBERS
 AND THEIR BOSSES
 REACH AGREEMENT
Both Retain Wage Scale and Gain Concessions in Working
 Rules.

Wage and working agreements have been completed between tf1e New Haven locals of the Bakers and rHe Barbers unions with their en- ployers by which both retain the ex- isting wage scale and in the case of the Bakers probably won over two shops which have heretofore been un- fair to the union. Both were report ed to the Trades Council last night
 The Bakers reported that they had agreed to accept the same rate of wages as set by the Rev. James McGee, chosen as arbitrator and who cut them $4 a week and had gained some concessions on working hours. They warned, however, of an attempt to knock out their label, apparently backed by state and municipal auth oriteis by restricting the size of the label SO that 1t could not be used
 The same old firms refused to sign up, Thompsons, Becks, Roots, Cham berlains, Weiss and Silverfeight, but Beck and Chamberlain were taken off the unfair list temporarily as the ex- ecutive board was yet in conference with them.
 The Barbers reported a satisfactory all around except for one shop, that at No. 9 George street, where the proprietor refused to come in. Prices remain the same with the cooperative agreement as to work ing hours as made a few months ago.

LABOR BOARD BACK DOWN HALTS STRIKE
 OF TRACK WORKERS
Maintenance of Way Men to Discuss Wage With Individual
 Roads.

The strike of the maintenance of way men on the railroads which has been hanging fire for the past week has been temporarily averted, follow ing concessions made by the Labor Board permitting the men to take up with the individual roads the matter of wages and working rules. This was such a great backward movement nthe part of the Labor Board, and so contrary to it's arbitrary action with the shopmen and other crafts, that the officials of the Brotherhood and of the Railway Department of the A. F. of l.. promptly advised the men to withhold action and take the matter up with the roads. Mean time the strike vote taken will hold over and if necessary to be put into effect, can be done within A hours.
 The backdown of the Labor Board followed a conference between E. F. Grable, head of the maintenance men, and Ben w. Hooper, chairman, of the Board, on Tuesday.
 Maintenance of way chairmen were instructed to proceed to take up maintenance of way disputes with the individual roads, and in case an agree ment is not reached, to refer the mat ter to the Labor Board. These dis putes include the wage cut recently authorized by the Labor Board for maintenance of way employees, changes in maintenance of way rules and the contracting out of track work.
 Members were directed to continue work under the wages ordered by tine Labor Board, effective July I, but to make any revision in rates, retroac- tive to July I, and to withhold strike orders pending the carrying out Of these matters.
 It was also announced that an i'm mediate ruling from the Labor Board will be sought absolving members from doing work formerly done by members of other organizations on strike

New Haven's Loss
 Is Philly's Gain

New Haven certainly lost great industry when it lost the Kilfeathcr Cigar factory. The Register sobbed all over it's first page about Kilfeath- CT and his free cigars going to Phila- delphia because he couldn't get along with the union cigarmakers here. MT. kilfeather was reported to have an establishment of POO hands when he got down among the Quakers, but verify, it appears that he has but eight and they are girls, if thee can believe the reports from the brethren returning from there this week.
 kilfeather's non-union made cigars are now appearing in the New Ha ven market. They are the Hyperion and the "I C. S." and are being in terwoven with those union made cigars of the same name that he had on hand before he moved from New Haven. It therefore behooves smok- CTS to look for the union label on the box It will not be on the new Fly perion and I. C. s.

TROLLEYMEN TO
 HAVE BIG PARTY
Twenty Years Young and Only One
 Strike Cause for Jubilee.

Twenty years ago the operators of the trolley cars in New Haven, then in the embryo stage of their de velopment, got together and formed a union. In all that time, although there have been several differences of opinion between the men and the various companies they had to con tend with there has been but one strike and that was won within four days because public sympathy was with the men. Now they are going to celebrate and it is certainly an occasion worth celebrating-2 years and only one fight.
 The celebration will be held at the Sea Cliff Inn on August ? and former Mayor Studlcy, Mayor FitzGerald. both honorary members of the union, will be guests of honor with the sur giving charter members of the union. Mayor Studley gained undying fame during the one and only strike by leaving City Hall in his shirt sleeves and pulling policemen off the trolley cars as they passed the hall. The carrying every ward in the city. The as one of their own. Mayor FitzGcr- aid, as lawyer and arbitrator, has often gone to the bat for the trolley boys and he, too, was enrolled as a member even before he became mayor.

PLUMBERS GIVE OPEN SHOP AGENT
 A MERRY TIME
Branford Man, Acting for Chicago, Got Much Encouragement
 in Efforts

Boy, please page MT Paul Kron- holm of 4o Bryant Road, Branford, and tell him we have 25 plumbers ready to take the job he so nicely sets up in his advertisement. Also tell him that the 25 or more he hired are not going to Chicago to be strike breakers there under the Iandis award even though he did expect them and their tools to report to li1s home in Branford early this week.
 For MT Kronholm is strike breaking agent pure and simple. He inserted an advertisement Tn the local papers calling for 25 plumbers, first class, steady work, $Io2H an hour, to start. Being a good patriot he stated he would remain home all day Fourth of July and receive applica- tions from 7 a. m. to p.sm
 He got 'em, and got 'em right. P, F. OMeara happens to be the busi- ness agent of the plumbers and speed- fly had MT. Kronholm looked up. De- spite the funny sheets it's always pos sible to get a plumber and MT. O'Meara got two. He sent them to Branford and To and behold they were received like long lost brothers. The jobs were in Chicago and car fare was to be paid one way and get back the best way the devil will let you Or course there was no Labor trouble involved, all you had to do was work under the Landis award that has disrupted Chicago Building circles.
 Space compels the curtailment of the story Suffice it to say that Mr. Kronholm certainly got his moneys worth out of the adv. but what he didn't get iS-Dlu1nbers

It would be futile here to try to review the events of the week. There were so many conflicting statements made and published in the daily press all in the interests of the roads that to digest them would require col umns For instance, the New Haven Register in seven-column headlines in the largest type it boasts of, on Wednesday night published broadcast that the Striking Shopmen Return to Work" This was lie pure and simple and based on a report from New York sent out by the railroad agencies intended to start a stam- pede among the strikers to get their jobs back before somebody else did
 But this strike is different from the unauthorized one of a year or so back This strike is well in the hands of the leaders and by vote of the men themselves and called by their executive boards. They are called to meetings daily al over the goods there Monday morning, the crucial day of the strike, found every man on the New Haven system who went out, still out and in addition several foremen who did not go out
  stay in and be the goats.
 Then came Tuesday, the holiday, and with it came some extraordinary conditions. The travel over the New Haven on the Fourth is perhaps the greatest of the year. Nevertheless the road ran trains in sections with out the airbrakcs coupled. Today we do not believe in miracles perhaps but several happened on the New Haven system over the Fourth when no trains were piled up. The road took chance and won, but the engineers are not going to take the same chance again.
 When the facts were reported To headquarters, engineers on the New Haven road, especially leaving Bos ton, were ordered by their general officers to take out no train that they didn't have a written receipt for that the brakes were connected according to the laws of the states of Massa- chusetts and Connecticut These laws call for train completely coupled with air brakes and not coupled three or four cars down as were the trans ran over the holiday. This law IS now being lived up to religiously by the engineer, who Is the man to go to prison if his train runs amuck.
 If readers of The Labor News will remember an article published nearly a year ago, following a special meet ing of the New Haven stockholders, wherein one of them suggested way of stopping the then threatened strike by putting letter box on every train
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-07-07

and calling it a mail train, reports are now coming in from the west that the strike is interfering with the delivery of the mails. The govern ment, much as 1t wishes to help the railroad barons, couldn't immediately put troops on the trains and run them on time but has had to send post office inspectors to investigate There is nothing to investigate. The rail- roads contract to deliver the mails an dthe trains are running. If the roads cannot run them on time, with all the train crews ready to run them, then the roads are responsible and the government cannot interfere unless some hotheadcd shop man gives 1t a chance.
 Right here in New Haven this week company spy was found attending the meeting. He carried a machin- ist's card and also carried personal passes over all the railroads of the east and also railroad policeman's badge but wasn't showing those. He had his nerve with him and attended the meetings in Trades Council Hall during the forepart of the week and was allowed to do so although there were more than a dozen men who knew him and what he was up to right at his elbow; Finally on Wednesday he was asked if he hadn't heard enough and got indignant His name is lille" as he goes by here and he certainly had enough bunk to go back to his employers with be- ofre he left Nobody bothered him. He was just kidded But when some of the more vitrolitic members heard he had been in the hall they were for action. Chairman Ready and the others who "handled' him, however, headed off trouble and did 1t in a way that comments them to all La Dor men.
 It is regrettable thing to have to do but 1t must be recorded that tie strike has already cost one life on the New Haven, the maiming of many others and minor injuries to ssores of unskilled who were put on the job to replace the strikers. There were rumors "Wednesday about men being maimed in the New Haven shops and killed along the road. The Road, Vice President Ed. Lyons, (whom, by the way, every striker re- spects), went over it's hospital list and couldn't find anything of the kind. Yet the roads propagandist, The New Haven Register, has this to say alst night:
 The only cause for regret because of the strike that has been heard at the general offices of the road was
