Especial to The Labor News

Boston, Oct 2o-Congressman Pet CT Tague of this city Is In receipt of a communication from John o. Tilson of New Haven, Conn, in answer to Mr.-Tagne's letter relative to. his pro- posed demand for an investigation of the doings of Carleton E. Hoadley, referee in bankruptcy in New Haven and Litchfeld counties in Connecticut. The congressman from Connecticut acknowledges receipt of the letter and says in substance that he IS not in terested to the extent Of opposing any such investigation as MT. Tague may have in mind providing his allegations warrant such a move. Mr.. Hague will therefore go right ahead with his motions for the investigation just as soon as Congress reconvenes next month.
 Mr. Tague began proceedings last April but at request of MT. Tilson held them up until the latter had op-' portunity Ito investigate" MT. Tilson almost Immediately after left for Europe and did not return until Con gress was about to adjourn and thus the probe was staved off. Not hear ing further from Tilson, MT. Tague wrote him several weeks ago warn ing that he could stand for no longer delay It is known the Connecticut congressman got busy in his district but did not apparently find any reason for opposing the resolution now.
 "If it hadn't been for, the action of MT. Tilson last spring in asking through congressional courtesy the matter be delayed until he could look into it, the case would have n-aired before Congress long ago." said MT. Tague, today. "As it IS l propose to offer the proper resolutions for the investigation just as soon as Congress reconYeneS"

New Britain Not to
 Cut Laborers' Wages
Departments Ignore Ten Per Cent
 Order Despite Finance Board.

New Britain, Oct 2o.-The financial situation in the several city depart ments, caused by the failure of the departments to reduce salaries and wages to conform to the 10 per cent reduction in appropriations for per sonal service, was informally dis cussed at the special meeting of the Board of Finance and Taxation this week Comptroller Curtis said that it will be two or three months before the effect of the action of the depart ment will be felt President F. s. Chamberlain said he urged the reduc- ton in salaries and wages when the budget was being made up, because it was being done in all parts of the country. Everyone who worked for living was receiving reduced wages and he considered 1t proper to take the same action in the city depart ments. Eight months time has worked changes, though, he admitted, and wages are on the increase.
 Although no action will be taken for a few months to provide the money necessary to make up the 10 per cent cut in appropriation 1t is possible that the necessary money will be appropriated.

FOUR REAL LABOR
 MEN NOMINATED
 FOR STATE SENATE
Two Sure of Election and Chances of Others More Than
 Bright

Organized Labor in Connecticut bids fair to have at least four out and out union men in the state senate in the next Legislature following the nominations completed this week. All are nominated on the Democratic side and have more than fighting chance of election. Three of them are from New Haven city and two there are practically certain to be elected The other is from the goth district lover east" and because of the recent organization campaigns follow
 ing the textile mill strikes, he, too, has a fine chance of election. With several members of Labor nominated for the House in addition to many friends of Labor, the workers will be heard from at least next session..
 The nominees in the senate race are Ira M. Ornburn, secretary of the Con necticut Federation of Labor and president of the Trades Council, in the Eighth Senatorial district. He Is pitted against Prof. Charles M. Bake we'll of Yale, now senator. The dis trict is debatable having been won by the Democrats four times in the last dozen years and the prospects for MT Ofnburn's election are Bright.
 JoSCpu OuC, SClIGAai VI VI the Machinists and one of the prin- cipal leaders in the, shopmen's strike, is the democfatic nominee for senator in the Tenth district and the nomina- ton there is equivalent to election The district is largely a railroad mans district and Tone is expected to sweep it therefore. .
 In the Eleventh elfsss;xt former Sen- ator Dennis Clynne, is again nonnin- ated and although going down to de feat in the c. O. P. cleanup two yeafs ago will undoubtedly carry the dis trict handily this time. Mir. Clynne is former president of the Trolley mems union and while in the senate before had record 100 per cent in favor of the workers.
 Over in the goth Senatorial district former Representative Charles Will Hams of Moosup is the nominee and reports from the district, which in- cludes several strong mill towns now highly organized show his chances of election to be more. than good. MT. Williams while in the House was an active worker for Labor bills as he has been a consistent worker for La Dor. His activities in the latter line caused him to be blacklisted but the blacklisting proved a boomerang as he turned around and beat the mill owner candidate for the House. He quit the Legislature in 1917 to enter the World War and got there even though being turned down by the U. s. because of his age, then about so. He wriggled into the Canadian army, however, and fought through the Peninsula campaign. He is now one of the state delegates to the Amer ican Legion convention in New Or leans and also has the support of the soldier boys this time.
 The nominations for representatives are not all compiled as yet but among those already named stands out con spicuously Eugene Grimes of West Haven, secretary of the Railway Clerks Union. Although the town is normally republican because of fac ton fights within that party his chances this time are good for cleo tion

RAILROAD STRIKE
 RANKS GROW MORE : THIN EVERY DAY
Men Not Going Back" But Are Securing Good Jobs On
 Other Roads.

With the settlement of the railroad shop strike on more tEan 100 roads of the country, some of them like the Central adjacent to the New Haven, the ranks of the striking shopmen on the New Haven system are daily be- coming thinner as the skilled me- chanics formerly employed by the local road secure work elsewhere. They are leaving at the rate of 10 or 20 a week now, while they went much more rapidly when the strike settle ments were made. Even men of fam lilies are moving to other parts and soon the road twill be hard set to get it's old crew back when it wants them.
 That the day is rapidly approaching when 1t will want them IS assured by the large number of engines that are being daily turned in as unfit if not really dangerous. The first killing frost that comes will add to the trou- bles of the road by opening the steel where it, is damaged and despite Manager Bardo's sing-song statement that conditions are normal or nearly so, the strikers know they are not. They have even the numbers and de- scription of damage of the engines laid up so do not pay any attention to the railroads claims
 The mass meeting at Music Hall tomorrow Saturday. morning will be addressed by Arthur Bennett of Washington, a general officer of the Electrical Workers Union. MT. Ben nett has been sent to this section to assist in the strike and will remain hereabouts for some time.

Tentative plans for the Gompers meeting were made at a special meet ing of the Trades Council committee on Wednesday night in connection with the check up of the activities of the local com1pittee up to date Ev- cry delegate present reported splendid progress especially pleasing being the reports from West Haven where through the activity of the labor com mittee there, a man unfriendly to La Dor in the last Legislature was de- feated for reuomination, man friend ly to Labor nominated for representa- tive on the republican ticket and even "a Labor leader nominated for the office on the democratic, side. So whichever side wins in West Haven Labor IS sure to have at least one of the two, representatives friendly to its cause.
 The checkup of candidates records Is now completed and the result be- ing spread broadcast and while no 'ofhcial- endorsements are given any one, the consensus was that the cleo ton of Thomas J. Spel1acy to the U. s. Senate, Mayor. FitzGerald as gov ernor, Benjamin S1ade for attorney general, and the five democratic con-. .gressional nominees would give the best results to the workers Senator ial, representative afid other nominees will be discussed at the meeting to be held next Wednesday night.
 While much noise has not been made about the campaign, through the general and the ward and district committees Labor has been carrying on very effective drive and its re- suits will surely be shown in the cleo tion With President Gompers here to wind up the battle 1t Is expected that Labor will present a solid back ing to it's friends on November 7.
