NEW HAVEN ROAD MEN FINISH STRIKE VOTE;
 WILL COUNT TUESDAY
"CRAP SHOOTING" AT NEW LONDON'S
 COUNCIL MEETING
Leave It to Luck as Who's First on
 Roll Call Votes.

New London, June 23.-In an age which has produced the Hare ballot commission government and the d- rect primary it has remained for the city of New London to introduce crap shooting as feature of munc- ipal government.
 The. dice were proposed by Mayor Lucius E. Whiton, the same man who of white night sticks for the traffic squad, and came because of the mayors desire to have some name other than his own read first for all votes by roll call in council meeting.
 Mayor Whiton's first idea was to have a number of marbles engraved with the names of the council mem- bcrs. But when the purchasing de partment was unable to find the mar blcs anywhere in town, the engineer ing department was instructed to prepare the little cubes.
 On each of the cubes is members name. When there is to be a roll call vote, the city clerk rolls the cubes on the table The one that has fallen nearest him, IS the first to vote, the next nearest second, and so on.
 It was suggested this week that the council seek to affiliate with the Mys- tical Seven, Wesleyan's senior honor ary society, for there are seven coun- cil members, there were seven roll call votes, and the significance of the number IS, of course, known to those who do and those who do not indulge in the ivory rolling pastime.

Machinists to Have
 Monster Field Day
More Than 18,ooo Will Gather al Savin Rock July for
 Athletic Events.

More than I5,ooo machinists from all parts of Connecticut and outside will gather at Savin Rock on July I, for what will unquestionably be the greatest field day ever held by Labor organizations in this section. Lodge after lodge in the Connecticut dis trict has voted to attend in a body and with the non-members that will be brought along there will be a great time.
 The program of athletic events to be run off on the old ball field is now about complete and will include every sport in the outdoor line. The events are being arranged by M. J. Connors, a machinist but also a we'll known athlete and he has excelled himself in the list arranged for the field day. If the day is fine it will be a banner one for the machinists and all other labor of the state in bringing the crafts together and solidifying them after the great drive to disrupt the unions during the past two years.

MAYORS MEET ON
 MONDAY TO TALK
 ON TROLLEY FARES
Session in New Britain to Try Solv- ing Vexatious Problem
 fer Cities.

New Britain, June 23.-Mayor Poanessa has addressed letters to the mayors of Waterbury, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Meriden, Middletown and other cities about the state, asking their presence at a meeting in this city on June %.
 The object of this conference is to establish in the interests of the Con- nectiCut Co.,, an avoidance of public criticism and more cooperative spirit between the Connecticut Co., and the general public; and at the same time to arrive at an understand ing with the Connecticut Co.,, that they, on their part will give their best general public in regards to better, cheaper, and more efficient service.
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-06-23

The amendments include con- gressoinal veto of supreme court de- cisions, the guarantee to labor of the right to organize, to bargain collec- lively and to strike, the prohibition of child labor and adoption of an easier method t han the present for amending the constitution. Enact ment of a new federal child labor alw, and also law interpreting the labor sections of the Calyton act were in cluded as a part of the program.
 OPPOSES SALES TAX.
 The convention rolled up its sleeves and took a wallop at the sales tax. A unanimous vote recorded the opin- ion of labor that the sales tax was devised to soak the public and line the pockets of a few This will dis appoint only those who want to pick the public pocket.
 NO COOLIES; NO IMMIGRA-
 TON.
 Coolie immigration into Hawaii, planned as an entering wedge for gen. eral coolie immigration, was branded by the convention as a menace which must not be permitted Hawaiian sugar barons have for months been at work in Washington to put through a bill for coolie immigration. Labor has blocked 1t and now the convention action adds to the force against the iniquitous measure.
 The executive council was sustain ed in it's opposition to general Euro pean immigration and ordered all possible resistance to a lowering of immigration bars. This, labor says, Is necessary to preserve wage stand ards, living standards and standards of Americanism in American institu- tiOns
 Government ownership and opera tion of the railroads will not be an issue in the threatened strike of I 100000 shop workers and others, spokesmen for the rail unions told the convention, which responded to their request for withholding a re- affirmation of the federation's stand in favor of the adoption of such a policy.
 Organized labor virtually com mltted itself to program favoring adoption of four constitutional amendments.
 The program of amendments in- cludes a congressional veto of su- preme court decisions, the guarantee to workers of the right to organize, to bargain collectively and to strike, the prohibition of child labor and the adoption of an easier method than the present one for changing the federal constitution. The new laws proposed would interpret section of the Clay ton Act, which the committee said the supreme court had "manifestly ignored or overridden," and have a new child labor measure that would meet objections raised by the su- preme court in setting aside former enaCtmentS

Meriden c. l.. U.
 Endorses Strike

Meriden, June 23.-After a com mittee had investigated the strike at the Community Theater and been in suited by the manager, F. H. Mo Mahon, the Central Labor Union at it's meeting this week unanimously endorsed the strike of stage hands, musicians and other employees on at the theater Mr. McMahon, accord ing to the committee, became speed fly profane, called the strikers vile names and def1ed anyone to stop him getting away with his proposed cut in wages. He desired to cut $Io a week from the wages and was quite peeved when the theater employees wouldn't stand for it.

Roads Evade Law; Courts Helpless;
 Men Must Strike

Washington, D. C., June B. A strike of a half million rail- way men threatens to tie.up our transportation system and seri- ously injure our national we'll being. Strike ballots have gone to members of the Railway Employees Department of the American Federation of Labor. Yet the American public is en- tire1y ignorant of the facts causing this strike situation be- cause the daily press has sup pressed the truth and is print ing garbled information and misleading comment.
 Shall piecework and con- tracting out of shops and e1n- ployes be accepted or rejected" is the wording of the third strike ballot This is the crux. It is confidently believed wage matters can be adjusted without a strike, but the men are ada mant on the question of sub letting repair contracts. The ultimatum served on the Labor Board on June 7 said that the strike ballots would go out if the subletting of repair shops was not stopped. The sublet ti,?G went on. The strike ball.
 Why are the railway em- - ~ Q concerned about the ''-"'nceS arrangements of the railroads and why should the public be informed of the facts? Because subletting of contracts in a scheme for placing the shop crafts employees beyond the jur- isdiction of the Labor Board and then cutting their wages below the standard fixed by the board, because this cutting of wages does not benefit the gen eral public but is absorbed by officials and insiders of the railroad who secretly organize the outside repair companies, because the Labor Board has called the practice a "palpable subterfuge," and because a Fed eral court has denounced 1t as an evasion of the law. Those who know what is going on are aghast, but the public is kept in ignorance.
 More than 100 roads appeal ing to the Labor Board for wage cuts are guilty of this sub

DEFENSE COUNCIL.
 With the avowed purpose of meet ing all legal attacks aimed at labor unions the American Federation of Labor has added to its program for curbing the power exercised by the courts by directing the establishment at Washington of labor defense council, composed of lawyers selected by the federation's officers. The council primarily will defend the unions against any suits that may be led under recent supreme court de- cisions adverse to labor.
 The program of four constitutional amendments, repeal of the Sherman antitrust law and enactment of two new measures, which was adopted by the convention by almost unani- nous vote, will require years of cam paigning before adoption, speakers said in urging the creation of the de- fense council.
