LEvEE BOARD SUIT

A jury in Judge Columbus Reds
division of the Civil District Court
Tuesday gave a verdict for what is
believed to be one Of the largest
amounts ever given by local court
against a public institution, when it
awarded William II. Ward a verdict
against the Orleans Levee Board for
$125, 900.
Property owned by Ward has been
taken as a site for a levee, and Mr..
Ward sued for s473,7S6 as the cost
of property, damages to his lumber
plant and unearned profits. He al
legged the Levee Board had no right
to take the property, as he had pro-
vided levee at that point.
Both sides declared themselves
dissatisfied with the verdict and said
they intended to appeal.
The trial has been on for more
than three weeks in Judge Reid's
court. A visit was made by Judge
and jury to the levee. Engineers.
expert river authorities and promi-
nent property owners and members
of the Levee Board were witnesses
in the case.
In his original petition Mr.. Ward
declared his family had maintained
the sawmill on Patterson street be
tween Verret and Lavergne streets
in Algiers for more than fifty years
and that an unbroken line of owners
beginning with a grant from the
Spanish governor in ITO, claimed
the property private and not public
property, which might be used fol
levee purposes.
The Levee Board constructed 8
levee on the inside of the Ward prop
erty about a year ago, after the one
built in 1914 by Mr.. Ward on the
river side had been declared defec
tive and unsafe. Construction Of the
levee placed the lumber plant practi
cally out in the river, the U-shapet
levee completely encircling it.
It was contended the damage t.
the actual ground was $221,S4O; t.
buildings, $1,000; to machinery, SIS.
600; loss in profits on contracts void
ed by cessation of work at the mill
$132,144; loss in lumber, $4,000
loss in selling lumber in regular sizei
when odd sizes in which the sawmil
specialized were more valuable
$12,500.
/
Judge Reid, however, ruled thu
profits unearned and the difference
in price of regular and odd size lum
Der could not be sued for. and re
duced the amount to $144,644.
Hundreds of other properties alont
the river front are said to be affect
ed nv the decision

AFTER
 RAILROAD UNIONS
New Haven County Association Ob- jects to Farming Out"
 Protest.

Running true to form, the Elm ployers' Association of New Haven County, by which is meant those manufacturers and others who are striving to force the open shop, have now turned their attention to the railroad brotherhoods and in a peti- ton sent to Senator Mclean and presented by him in the Senate dur ing the week, express opposition to the Beck bill by which the interstate commerce commission would be given authority to pass on the farm ing out" of railroad repair work.
 The roads have been dehantly go- ing ahead breaking their agreement with the railroad shop crafts and Railroad Labor Board and letting out their repair work to outside shops with the idea of thus breaking the union morale and cutting wages prices and lengthening working hours. The unions protested but some ignored orders of the Labor Board to keep their agreements and then Con gress was appealed to. The Beck bill giving power to the Interstate Com merce board to pass upon this outside letting resulted and at once scores of associations like the New Haven Elm ployers' association, rose up in wrath and are attempting to head tl off so as to continue the efforts to Strangle organized labor on the railroads as we'll as elsewhere.

P. 0. EMPLOYES PROTEST SYSTEM
 NOW IN EFFECT
Outside Inspectors Breaking Down Morale and Men, Is the
 Charge.

In common with postal employe unions all over the country and the A. F. of L. board in Washington, the New Haven local of the postofice employees is making a protest against the system now in vogue in the de- partment and which they claim Is not only hampering the department but breaking down the employees. The workers assert that the ''humanizing" plan of Will Hays, former postmast- CT general, and the request that the employees assist in eliminating waste time and in cutting down expenses, has been boomerang on the men when they tried to do their share.
 In the New Haven postoflce, 1t is pointed out, that on the retirement of Postmaster Troup inspectors were sent here and took charge to carry out the policy Of retrenchment and reform. They. are carrying 1t to the limit, 1t IS complained and by chang ing tours of duty of practically every clerk in the service has heightened the hours, created dissatisfaction and weakening the morale of the men and the good of the service, without any gain in efficiency whatever. Unneces- sary overtime has been enforced and the emplOyeS treated as II pieces or Machinery instead of human beings.
 Things have come to such pass, the clerks affirm, that they have been brought to the point of protesting and at the next meeting of Local 237 resolution will lte offered requesting that local postof6ce oficails be given the right to determine the hours of duty of the men immediately under them as by their understanding of local conditions they can do far better than all the outside inspectors that can be sent here.

NEW HAVEN ROAD INDUSTRIAL WORK
 AGAIN INCREASED
Shops Here Now On Full Time and Building Department Is
 Resumed Also.

With the repair shops here and at East Hartford, now on full time of six days a week, more than 500 of the repair men called back to work this week and additions being made daily, more than 100 of those former ly employed in the building depart ment which has charge of all building repairs put back on the job this week with prospects of the others in that line going on next week, things are certainly looking up industriallV on the New Haven Railroad. While the shops at Van Ess, Readville, and oth- CT places are yet on five days schedule t Is expected that with the amount Of work to be done these, too, will be on six days and soon the entire force of several thousand laid off last De ce1nber be back at work.
 That conditions are getting better on the New Haven system IS indi- cated in the several jumps the price of it's stocks took during the past week or so. New Haven is selling better now than in many years and the officers are confidently predicting that 1t will continue to increase. The stock went over 30 last week and yes terday was selling at 2SM, certainly a big advance from the I2 and I4 points 1t was selling at some few months ago. This is due principally to the expected settlement of the foreign loans and the great increase in busi- ness the road IS getting as the indus trial situation picks up.

HARTFORD PRINTERS DECLARE COURANT
 CAUSED STRIKE
Show Paper Had Agreement and
 Declined to Keep It.

In an official statement issued by Hartford Typographical Union, No. I27, absolute denial is made to the propaganda being spread by the Hartford Courant in explanation of the strike of the printers employed thereon and in which the Courant states that the strike was caused by the refusal of the management to force several employees to join the union when they did not want to join. The Courant also maintains that 1t has always been an "open shop" and had no agreement with the typos, but this also is refuted by the union
 The statement says that in 1913, the union reached agreement with all the four publishers in Hartford. The scale was agreed to but the Courant did object to one or two minor clauses such as double time for Sun day and putting the proofreaders and apprentices i'll union class. Confer ences were held and these straight, ened out satisfactorily. It was agreed then that while men then employed who were not members of the union, could be retained without joining the union, all employed in the future should be union men.
 Another agreement with new scales of prices was agreed to by both Times and Courant in 1919 running until 1921 Then the Courant kicked over some provisions and arbitration was resorted to and the arbitrators fxed the wage scale and it was ac- cepted by Harry Conland, manager o1 the Courant who acted as one of the
 a1 bitrators When the strike came the Courant denied having any agree
 nient and laid the breach onto inc | printers.

GARMENTS WAGE
 CONFERENCE WILL
 START NEXT WEEK
Agreement This Year Expected to Be Reached Without
 Discord.

The annual conference on wages and working hours between the rep resentatives of the trolleymen's s unions of the state and the Connec- ticut Company will be started on Wednesday next when the State Con- ference Board will meet with Presi- dent Storrs and Manager Punderford, It is expected at this time that al though the men will ask that the re- duction in pay made on them through the arbitration proceedings last year, be restored that the agreement for the year beginning June I, will be reached this time without any serious dispute. It is expected that the troll lev company to head off any con sessions, will propose another wage reduction but as the trolleymen are no: now and never have been paid in proportion to other crafts, this will naturally be resisted.
 There will be no trouble over the recent layoffs of many motormen and conductors over the system, as they have had an understanding with the company that it alone could decide the number of men needed, provid- ing the agreed working rules and hours were maintained. The advent of the one-man cars in the bigger cities of the state, and especially in some of the smaller places, caused a surplus and many of the newer men were dropped for the time at least, The advent of the summer rush, how ever,' is expected to make 1t neces- sarv to recall many of these so no trouble is anticipated on that score.
 The proposed agreement has been in preparation by the State Confer encc Board for some weeks and las been passed upon and approved by the local unions and if accepted by the company will therefore be speed fly passed and be operative by June I

MERIDEN BAKERS WIN WAGE RAISE
 TOTALLINC TOP.
Had No Difficulty in Securing New Agreement With
 Employers.
Especial to The Labor News.)

Meriden, May 5.-Local Union No. 60, Bakery and Confectionery Work CTS, have renewed their last years agreement without any trouble. Ap- parently the bakers union is we'll thought of and properly SO. They got a Io%o increase in wages, and changed hours a little but that was caused by the failure of the surround ing bakery workers unions to demand abolition of night work. To have re- fused night work when all the com pettors of the Meriden master bakers were working nights would be plac- ing them at a disadvantage. Wage cutting fever seems to have hit the cash registers of the merchants and woke them up. The local papers didn't carry a word about 1t, but when the agreement was sent out in some way the local papers got it and start ed to bowl, then gave 1t space on the front page.
 The Journal Press, a job printing shop, gave one of it's employees, who committed that awful crime of attend
 ing a Union meeting, the choice of tearing up his union card or giving up his job. HE GAVE UP HIS JOB The Journal Press is an open shop American Plan, no discrimina- ton institution.
