HARTFORD MAN IS
 NOMINATED FOR
 R.R. LABOR BOARD
Station Master at Capital One of Two in Country Put Up to
 Harding.

Hartford, March 1o.-John H. Hynes, station master at the Hartford railroad depot for the past six years, was recommended to President Hard ing Monday by the Railroad Masters of America as one ot two men from whom to appoint a member of the United States Railroad Labor Board The appointee will succeed A. o. Wharton of Missouri, the present representative of labor on the board, whose term expires this year. The salary for the place is $Io,ooo year and the term of the appointment to be made is five years.
 The name of MT. Hynes was for warded to the President, with that of w. A. Phillips of Kansas City, Mo-, by J. l.. Cone, grand president of the Railroad Yardmasters of America, fol- lowing the compilation at grand di- vision headquarters at Columbus, O., of votes returned from 62 divisions of the yardmasters' association through out the United States. Details of the vote have not yet been made public, but it is understood that the Hartford man carried all New England, New York and Pennsylvania, including the entire Pennsylvania Railroad system and considerable other area east of the Mississippi river.
 By reason of the fact that the Missouri man is named as first choice in the grand presidents recom- mendation to the President, as re- quired by the Transportation Act of 1920, it is assumed that the West erner's vote was the larger of the two. Several Connecticut railroad men, however, declined to accept this theory until the figures of the vote were made public and they indicated that sharp rivalry existed between the western and eastern yardmasters. It was further pointed out that the President is free, of course, to make his own selection from the two, re- gardless of the first and second choice and that Hynes' chances were inn proved by the fact that his opponent and the retiring member of the board were from the same state, Missouri.

MERIDEN UNIONS SPOIL POLITICIANS
 PLANS ON BUILDING INSPECTORSFIlP

the matter is now in abeyance.
 That a full time building inspector is needed is pointed out in an open letter by the Building Trades Coun- cil part of which Is as follows:
 '"We learn at this late date that Meriden does not need a full time building inspector. In other words, our city IS to remain in the same old rut as of yore. We fail to understand how this took so long to be ascer- tained. We further contend that nj view of the fact that the building inspector will be plumbing, building, and electrical inspector, having under his supervision the handling of per mits for all this work, not only on new construction, but also on repair and alterations and work done within the city. One must now take into consideration the fact, that what was once the town of Meriden is now the city of Meriden. In other words, the city IS now enlarged.
 If the office of building inspector is to be properly administered, 1t will require the undivided attention of the building inspector. The proposition of having to go after part time in- spector IS a hindrance to the con- tractors doing small work, and either the jobs will be tied up or they will be improperly inspected, perhaps not at all For example, an out of town

BILLIONS TO
 BE GIVEN IN
 SHIP SUBSIDY
But Unemployed Soldier Must Tight en His Belt and Look
 Pleasant

President Harding's suggestion that approximately $32,ooo,ooo per year be given to the private owners of ships ill the form of subsidy is particularly appropriate at this time
 The shipping board Is now running advertisements announcing that all government owned ships will be sold to private individuals or corporations. These ships originally cost the gov ernment around three and half bil- lion dollars. The shipping board ex- poets to dispose of them for not more than $l5o,ooo,ooo.
 Admitting that depreciation has lessened the value of the ships to the extent of a billion and a half dollars, this would still mean that the govern ment is making the private purchas- CTS an original present of $I,85o,ooo,- GOO of property. In addition to this President Harding proposes that these purchasers be given an addi- tional $32, ,OOo oOo per year for their kindness in accepting the $I,S5o,oOO,- GOO gift. |.
 While these billions are being handed to the spectators, the ex-sol- diers are walking the streets, hun dreds of thousands of them in actual need of necessities. But there IS no bonus for them even though there IS $32ooo,ooo a year bonus for the ship owners.
 Why not adopt new motto, some thing like this:
 Billions for the proiteers but not one cent for the. nations defeuders. ;,

Even if They Could It Would Not Brin g Them Any More Un- der Law Than at Pres ent Is Possible; He Adds.

The interpretations of Labor Unions is not necessary and cannot be made compulsory; incorporation would not bring the unions affXmmore under the law than they are now as voluntary associations; and it would place d grevious burden upon unions to compel then. to incorporate, in the opinion of a well-known lawyer, in response to inquiries from The Labor News as to the question Of 'rless ooGa- tion of unions. This lawyer, who pre- fers to remat unidentified, professes to be frier oi unionism and while he holds so, ideas that some union men may not coincide with, neverthe- less under the full and free discussion of the subject to be carried on by The Labor News. they are herewith presented and such answers as any other worker or lawyer may have will be just as cordially given publication.
 How any set of men can be compelled to form a corporation Is not easy to see. We may lead horse to water, but we can not make him drink.

UNIONS CANNOT BE COMPELLED
 TO INCORPORATE. SAYS ATTORNEY

The objection of the unions to their incorporation, that they would thereby come under the grasp of the law, from which they fancy they are now free, IS so far as that fancy is concerned, with ou, basis of fact. It is not generally known that the courts have now visi- torial power over the labor unions and can inquire into the legality of their doings
 Labor unions are what are known in law as voluntary associations" Any set of men can associate themselves for any lawful purpose, and can adopt any set of rules for their own guidance as may please them, so long as those rules do not contravene the law of the land. If the purpose of their association is un- lawful, or their rules for carrying out lawful purpose illegal, they can be brought to justice. Such Is the law now with proviso, which I shall state in a moment.
 In al interesting labor case some years ago, Tn which 1 was concerned as coun- sel, l succeeded in having that principle applied. It was brought by a member ot labor union, who stood for law and order, against his union, asking for its dissolution, on the ground that it was being managed in violation of the law, and was therefore not carrying out the purpose of its organization. As to la bor unions, this was a novel proposition. It was none the less sound. In advocat-

COURANT PUTTING
 SKIDS UNDER LAKE
Hartford County Cannot Hog" Gov ernorship Any Longer, Says
 G. o. P. Organ.

Governor Lake is being gently leased off" the political boards and C. Hopkins Clarke, editor of the Hartford Courant and maker of gov ernors plenipotentiary in Connecticut, IS doing a good part of the easing off. Lake never had the support of the Courant or Clarke faction since he opposed Charles A. Goodwin for the nomination some 10 years ago, until he was nominated by fluke at the last convention. Then the Courant, for party safety, buried the hatchet but now after Lake has had term 1t is apparently picking out someone else for the job of governor.
 In an editorial this week the Cour- ant also trots out Justice 5. 0. Prem tice as the G. o. P. nominee for mayor of Hartford. Why not for gov ernor? asked the Hartford Times. To which the Courant replied: If our state politics were bit broader that might we'll be but we had Marcus H. Holcomb for six years and later Everett J. Lake for two more, mak- ing eight in all and the sentiment against any one county having every thing would probably send the gov ernorship to some other county"
 Goodbye Lake, hail either Temple ton of Waterbury or Stoeckel of Nor folk The Courant may be fooled about it' county-Wise at that. The democrats have many good men up Hartford way and one may be chosen and elected

Thompsonvi1Ie, March 1o-The igelow-Hartford Carpet Co.,, which few months ago was forcibly evict- ing it's worker-tenants from their homes, has sent out to contractors and builders plans and specifications calling for bids on the immediate construction of 40 two-family houses. The estimated cost of these buildings has been placed at $35oooo. They will be erected on a alrge tract of land on Alden avenue. The construction of the houses will in part relieve the acute shortage of housing facilities in Thonnpsonville The company made plans at it's annual meeting Monday in Boston which, if carried out, call for an outlay of $I 1000, 1000. New mill buildings will be constructed and it is said that the company's plant in Clin- ton Mass, may be moved to Thomp- sonville
 In addition the company has op- tions on the German, Leete, Boggio, Hilditch and Simpson buildings which will expire on or about March Is. These options, if taken up, call for an outlay of $7o,ooo.

Their Nomination of a Practical Man for the Job Suddenly Decides Officials That Part Time Man Is Only Needed Now.
Especial to The Labor News. )

Meriden, March 1o.-1he tenerity of the Building Trades Council, back ed up by the Central Labor Union, in nominating a candidate for the pro-
 posed position of building inspector, has so disturbed the nicely laid plans of Mayor Harry A. King and the political cohorts that it is now found that full time inspector is not necessary and the appointment has been delayed. A few weeks ago when the new charter was adopted and the provision made for a building inspect or, the officials agreed such a person was very essential but when the Building Trades Unions entered in agreement with them and nominated practical and competent man, the situation suddenly changed. The job was slated for a contractor, ii is said, who did not want to be tied up all day at the expense of his other work. Therefore the sudden entry of a craftsman sort of disrupted things and
