PRINTERS REFLECT LOCAL BOARD AND
 DEFEAT NATIONAL
Mcfarland Forces Given Great Rout in New Haven
 Election

The entire present board of officers of New Haven Local No. AZ, Typo graphical Union, was reelected and the national ticket headed by present president, John Mcfarland of New York, defeated by large majorit1es at the annual election of the New Ha- ven printers, held Wednesday, simul- taneously with elections by locals all over the United States and Canada Neither result was a surprise here and 1t IS expected that the national ticket so far as Mcfarland is con- cerned will be defeated also. Nc Parland was elected two years ago to succeed President Marsden C.. Scott, also of New York, who got in bad with the rank and file after sev- measure up to the mark, 1t is stated, hence the opposition to his return. He is opposed by Walter W. Barrett of the Chicago union.
 In the local election President John c. McGoWan was opposed by William D. Williams, who was president some years ago and during the eight hour strike. McGowan won out handily even though he is in a hospital un- dergOing an operation. For vice. president, R. E. Benson was elected over Thomas !. Poll The offices of secretary-treasurer were split up so that Secretary E. R. Otterson will now be financial secretary and treas urer and R. c. Lau will fill the new office of recording secretary. The only other contest was for delegate to the l. T. U. convention where Ernest F. Hintz defeated John E. Casey as representative of the news paper branch and James Logan was elected to represent the job shopmen without opposition. The convention will be held in Atlantic City in Sep tember
 For delegates to the New England branch convention R, G. Lau and President McGowan were chosen and other offices filled as follows: Audi- tors, F.. F. Hintz, Israel Jacobs and T. M. Roche; Journal correspondent, T. NJ. Roche. There was no opposi- ton in these selections

AZ. OIL. TO FIGHT OPEN SHOP SCHEME
 OF U. s. CHAMBER

Washington, May 2o.-The Amer ican Federation of Labor and the United States Chamber of Commerce are clearing decks for d finish fight over the employment Of union labor. The leaders of these organizations have been sparring for some time, and the opportunity IS now at hand in the capital to test out the "opcn shop" system.
 Elliot H. Goodwin, resident vice president Of the Chamber of Com merCe, las announced that the policy of his organization in constructing d building for national headquarters here will be to employ non-union as well as union Workmen. No sooner had this announcement been made than Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, called upon Mir. Goodwin to state his exact purpose.
 Sees Hostility to Unions. No one can analyze the term open shop without being driven to
 the conclusion that in reality it is the
 anti-union shop that is meant" said
 Mir. Gompers.
 The United States Chamber of
 Commerce took it's present position because it is opposed to the trade union movement, and any statement 10 the contrary is pure sophistry. The United States Chamber of Commerce is an organization of fnanciers and employers; it i> an organization of men who live by making profit 1 think no one will be deceived about the United States Chamber of Com merCe and it's relation to the ques tions involving wage earners.
 "lt is animated by desire to ren- der the workers as nearly helpless as possible in order that they may be the more easily exploited, and less able to command proper wages and working conditions"
 The United States Chamber of Commerce may rest aSsured," Mir. Gompers warned, that the trade union movement will use every fair, legitimate and honorable means to see to it that union workers are em- ploycd upon the new building in Washington.
 Warns of Opposition.
 'The Chamber of Commerce is organized to protect and promote the interests of the capitalists, em- ployers and exploiters, the American Federation of Labor is organized to protect and promote the interests of working men and women.
 "It is as fitting for the United States Chamber of Commerce to per tend a pious solicitude for the well fare Of the workers and to pretend to determine what are just and proper standards for workers as 1t would have been for the commander of the late German navy to moraliza upon justice and righteousness in the con- duct of submarine warfare"

THREE MEN STRIKE
 AND TIE UP ROAD

A strike that is 100 per cent. effec- tive has been called by the employees of the kushequa Railroad. Never heard of it? Well, it is a famous mountain trunk line that operates be- tween Smithport and Backus, in Pennsylvania, travcrsing distance of II miles. Its entire operating force consists of three men-cngincer, fire man, and combination conductor and trainman.
 The line is owned by Elisha K. Kane, prohibition candidate for Con- gress in the district in which the kushequa Railroad operates. He has been devotng SO much attention to his political interests that he over looked the fact that his railroad work CTS find if necessary to eat. They haven't been getting their pay, SO went on strike And the road is amassing a fine coat of rust while the issue is awaiting determination.
 A number of mountain towns are without transportation until Kane digs up the back salary and gets a load of wood to operate his engine.
