ANSONIA FOUNDRY
 STRIKE SPREADING
Roll Makers Join Moulders nj Walk
 out at Farrell Go. Plant.

Ansonia, June 16.-After 10 weeks of strike by the moulders, during which the firm refused to even treat with the men, the roll makers at the Farrell Foundry here were called out this week and while they are few in number, their going out puts the plant actually ''up against it.
 The moulders went out in protest to the "open shop" policy adopted by the foundry people and have con Sistently stayed away from the plant, not even giving the anti-labor ele- ment here d chance to intimate that they were interfering with the works The long drawn out strike was be- ginning to have tis affect on the rest of hte plant, naturally and the other workers getting restless. When the call came therefore for the roll makers to quit on Tuesday, they did SO with a vim The result will soon be the entire tie-up of the foundry.

singing America as the first item on the program.
 After prayer by the Rev. Father Peter Dietz, the program centered about a series Of welcome addresses by Governor Harry L. Davis, Mayor George P. Carrel, Secretary T. J. Donnelly of the Ohio State Fedora tion of Labor and others, ending with Adolf Hummer, the temporary chairman, presenting a gavel, made by Cincinnati carpenters, to Mir Com pers.
 A resolution was introduced by the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, and proposed that the "American Fedora ton of Labor take the necessary ac- ton toward bringing about the re- quired solidarity with the ranks of or ganized labor, and that as a first step in this direction that the various in ternational unions be called into con ference for the purpose of arrang- ing to amalgamate all the unions in the respective industries into single organizations, each of which shall cover any industry"
 One proposed that the American Federation of Labor take "sides with the farmers in their controversy as to the acceptance of the Ford bill' for the Muscle Shoals project.
 Several dealt with Russia.
 A resolution by Sara Conboy, sec retary of the United Textile Workers, and others, proposed that the con- vention reaffirm the declarations of the last two conventions that the Federation is mot justified in taking any action which could be construed as an assistance to or approval of the the Soveit government of Russia as long as that government Is based up on authority which has not been vested in it by a popular representa- tive national assemblage of the Rus sian people"
 On Wednesday Senator Robert M LaFollette electrified the conventoin with an address attacking the su- preme court fo rt1s recent decisions against Labor. Asserting that by a "process of gradual encroachments" the federal courts of the country have "wrested sovereignty from the peo- ple," Senator La Toilette proposed an amendment to the Constitution de nying the power of lower coutrs to set aside a federal law as unconstitu- tiona1 and providing for the nullihca- tion of any such decision by the su- preme court by re-enactment of the statute

 "The 'open shop as our adversar- eis term their antagonistic movement, when they cloak it hypocritically, the American plan,' robbing patriotism of it's most glorious name and commit ting devilish act, is not the result of conferences. There can be no genuine conference between employ CTS and employees unless the employ CTS and employees stand upon an equal footing of responsibility and power, fearless of the lash of unem- ployment or discharge because of their consistent attitude toward the people they represent.
 "FOr the first time in the world conference was held a few months ago in the capital city of our natoin, ments of the nations of the world
 
 let me call your attentoin to a fact which may have escaped your notice. At our Denver convention the execu- tive council of the American Fedora ton of Labor, in a report our council submitted, recommended that the American Federation of Labor in con- vention assembled shoudl call upon the officers of the American govern ment to invite the nations of the world to a conference for the pur- pose of discussing how far the linn itation of armament could go. And our convention did make that declara- ton. It was almost a month later when the government of the United States sent its invitations to the na- tions of the wordl to attend an in ternational conference in our capital for the limitation of armaments.
 There were not very good results accomplished, counted with that which still exists, but beginning has been made, and the consistent course presented by the American Federa- ton of Lakor for peace and the aboli- ton of international war has been sustained, though to a smaller degree than we hoped, by that Washington conference. I don't know how many of you are fight fans, but I think those of you who have been at box ing matches know that you have seen just as good matches between ban tams as among heavyweights, and that applies equally to the dread naughts as to the little submarine chasers. I think I am doing but scant justice to the claims of organ ized labor when 1 say that in every country in the world it has been the greatest contribution toward that 
 The big national guard armory, far removed from the city's business district, is the seat of the conven- ton. Delegates, forming in parade downtown marched on it in a body for the opening of the session. A thousand flags formed the decora- tions, and band of 100 pieces played the accompaniment for delegates

are men and women created with certain inalienable rights, the right of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
 "The mayor referred to this gath erlng as a conference, and, if my memory serves me we'll, he added that conferences are the great distinctive advance which has been made by the human family as against the exercise of force to compel obedience to the will of one. Amen to that and to that declaration. This is a conference or a congress of the chosen representa- tives of the rank and file of the men and women of toll who are working today in all fields of human indus trail activity, and they come here with a mandate and credentials of their constituents to express the views and principles in which they so heartily believe, and the aspirations which they so devoutly aim should be ac- complished.
 We meet here in annual conven- tion for the purpose of arriving at results which shal represent the com pOsits, average view of the tailing masses of America. In our trades unions, in our other labor organiza- tions, in our city central bodies, our state federations, our national and international trade unions, what we ask of employers is that they sit with us around the tab1e-not in any jug handle movement inaugurated by themselves in which they dominate in face and in spirit but to meet in con ference with us and there around the table, they as employers and we as workers, the chosen representatives of

the union movement has unquestion- ably exercised a good deal of pressure towards the shorter day. The steel industry has for the most part escaped the union. That the acquiescence of the steel workers in the I2-hour day bears some relation ship to this lack of unionism would seem to be indicated by the fact that until recently almost all of the tend encies towards shorter hours in the steel industry have been in those very few branches, or in those almost in fnitesimal areas, where labor organ ization did have it's precarious foot hOld"

 which have occurred during the year, and of the good feeling that exists between the Moulders and most of the employers they have been doing business with for years. He stated that even in the recent troublous times the moulders were able to reach satisfactory adjustments and are con tinuing along the line of arbitration which they believe to be the proper relation to exist between employer and employe. He said he was glad to announce that he had been able to adjust all grievances with four excep- tions, namely: Howe Scales Works in Rutland, Vt, the Springfield Foun- dry, Springfield, Mass; the Ship &- Engine Co.,, of New London, and the Farrel Foundry & Machine Co.,, Of Ansonia, Conn, which has adopted the so-called American plan, "I might say that everything is going along very satisfactory in all of those districts and in every case we have been forced to withdraw our men as the conditions imposed were such that no American citizen with honor to himself could submit. However l am convinced that before this con venton again assemblies that we will have resumed our former relations with those firms, as our members are not going near them and in conse- quence of that they are having con siderable trouble in making their cast ings In fact three-fourths of what has been made goes to the scrap heap and causes the expense of making them over which does not make for progress. The day will arrive I hope when all employers and employees will have a mutual understanding whereby the wheels of industry can be kept moving with the best interest of the community as a whole. l must repeat that we have been very fortunate taking in the territory from Stamford, Conn, to Rutland, Vt, with very little misunderstanding or in other words very few strikes. Thanks to the fair ness of most of our employers we have been able to reach satisfactory settlements and adjustments to the extent that we have a minimum wage of zs cents per hour and eight hours per day, and there are other settle ments of 77H cents per hour and still some of our employers are still pay

 Engineer Frawley sustained the injury when he leaned far out of his cab to watch the mechanism of his train, not seeing the mail crane. The blow rendered him unconscious, and his body hung limp out of the cab Quick action by the fireman of the train in shutting off the throttle probably prevented a serious accident. Frawley was rushed to Meridian, where he died Wednesday morning a: the Turner hospital.

EXCHANGE

During the great World war America helped to defeat the Ger mans, but in great many cases she only gained the enmity of several of the European countries" said Oscar D. Randolph, rector of the St. Marys Episcopal church, when he addressed the members of the Exchange club Wednesday afternoon.
 However, the Armenians do not have this attitude and feel most kindly towards America, and proba- bly, we are loved more in this country than any other of the foreign na- tions," he continued. The Near East relief has saved 64,o0o children of Arr menia in orphanages, while about 50.0o0 are being cared for on the out side. It Is really a tremendous work being done in that country by the Americans and 95 per cent of the children are being saved For an ex- ample. the man at the head of the or phanages received orders to remove the Armenian children to Russia, a safety zone from the Turks.

ROTARY


 Jefferson county has made bigger strides in education than any other county in the United States of Amer ica within the past score of years" said Dr. A. E. Winship, lecturer and also editor of the journal, "Educa- tion," in Boston, before the members of the Rotary club at their luncheon Wednesday. T have travelled the major portion of these United States and l am in a position to quote at first hand facts that may be some what startling, but nevertheless true. Within the past seven years this county has shown an increase of over 700 per cent in high school enroll ment and over 5000 per cent increase in high school graduation, thereby leading the whole world.
 Ten years ago no state in the union had doubled it's high school enroll ment within ten years, and now and within the past seven years there has been no state in the union that has not doubled it's high school enroll ment within seven years. Seven years ago there was not a decent county high school building in this county; now there Is not high school that Is not decently housed. The city of Los Angeles has experienced wonderful growth by putting their education forward. Two years ago the city is- sued $2,000.000 In bonds for educa- tion. This year the city passed a $17,000,o00 bond issue by ratio of l 5 to l, to tell the whole world of the education of Los Angeles, he said. He also said that the OK occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the world for over 5000 years, but since 70 years ago became extinct, due to faster modes of travel. and that the community that is slow and back ward in education will meet the fate of the OK.
