PUBLICITY COMMITTEE REVEALS THE FACTS
Makes Public Some Actual Conditions Confront ing the Manufacturers and Workers of
 New England.

The committee appointed by the striking shopmen last week to keep the public posted on the actual con- ditions existing on the New Haven Road made the first report Wednes- day morning at the meeting in Trades Council Hall and stated that they were told by various business men throughout New England that they were forced to either reduce their working force or working hours be- cause they have no stock with which to carry on their business. The strikers claim that this Is caused be- cause there are no engines to haul the trains available and also through lack of sufficient number of freight cars.
 The New Haven road is unable to furnish deliveries of important per ishable freight, strike leaders added. Necessary foodstufs, such as salt, are delayed in shipment from one to five weeks Strikers say that a man ager of chain store in this city, who is used to getting a shipment from the west every week, has been wait ing over six weeks for shipment of goods with which to stock his store.
 Strike leaders claim that New Eng land manufacturers are resort1ng to the use of auto trucks to get their products out of New England and "onto other systems that are equipped to handle them."
 The alleged outlawing of engine crews because of faulty equipment IS causing considerable dissension among the members of the Big Four, it was stated The strikers say train crews are making from two to three days pay in one trip while other crews cannot even make a days pay in week Complaints have gone in to the headquarters of the Big Four with the result that representatives of the grand lodges are in this city and in conference.
 Big Four representatives came here in response to complaints made by engineers and hremen who claim that repairs on rolling stock are not being made according to the commonly ac- cepted rules of safety. Road officials replied to complaints made to them that such conditions were fast being remedied and that the mechanical force of the road was being steadily improved.
 Enginemen, however, did not place much credence in this assurance and immediately called upon the Grand Lodges. Representatives arrived and immediately went into session.
 Strike leaders say that enginemen can no longer feel safe on the en- zines that are given them to run over the New Haven system. Their feel ing is prompted by imminent possi- bility of catastrophe, it is said. The danger of these. engines blowing up because of faulty repairs or leaving the rails when some part fails to

A.E:ML. NOT TO JOIN
 ANTI-WAR CONGRESS
Gompers and Federation's Executive
 Council Reject Invitation.

Washington, Nov. 24-An invita- ton to participate with the Interna- tional Federation of Trades Unions in general labor anti-war conference at The ague December 10, was re- jected Wednesday by President Com pers and the executive council of the American Federation of Labor
 To J. H. Thomas, of the British la Dor organization, who is president of the international federation, the American organization authorized a response declaring the unwillingness of labor unions in the United States to commit themselves to an interna- tional general strike in case of any declaration of war, whether defensive or not, to TenOunCe national entity to seek "nationalization of wealth" or to enter gathering where the trend of discussion had been set down nj advance
 Originally it had seemed possible, the American Federation letter said, United States ato participate in the of other nations, but resolutions of the International Federation of Trades Unions, adopted at Rome, had laid down such advance terms that no association could be attempted. Devoted as it has been to the gen eral causezof peace, it was declared the American Federation could not seek to further such cause in a meet ing committed in advance to propo- sals not only lacking in constructive character, but which may easily be of themselves a most serious menace to the cause of freedom"
 MT. sGompers, the eight vice-presi- dents of the Federation, and Frank Morrison, it's secretary, signed the communication, an identic copy of which was forwarded to the British Trades Union Congress.

COAL KINGS LICKED
By International Labor News
 Service.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 24.- Victory for C. Frank Keeney, pres ident of District 2I of the United Mine Workers, in gaining change in venue from Jefferson county in the so-called treason" trials was upheld this week by the supreme court of West Virginia. The de- cision was handed down by Judge Poffenbarger, president of the court, who said the purpose of the provision of the state constitution for change in venue, and the statute making ? 1t effective, is merely declaratory of the common law principles, and that the pur- pose is to assure trial by a fair and impartial jury.
 This sustains the sweeping vic tory won by the miners over the West Virginia coal operators in Judge Woods court in Charles towns The county in which the trails will be transferred will be announced by Judge Woods within the next few days. It is believed that the coal operators will attempt no further prosecution of these cases.

Washington, Nov 24.-The House Judiciary Committee adopted a reso- lution yesterday calling on Repre- sentative Keller, republican, Mime sota, to present by December I a statement of facts showing the alleged act or acts for which he has asked for the impeachment of Attorney General Daugherty. He was further requested to name as far as possible "the persons involved in each transac- ton the time and place thereof, and the witnesses by which such facts can be established"
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-11-24

In reply to letters sent out by Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, in which the request was made for "the very best information you can get in regard to unemployment in your city," more than 200 replies have been received and in only one case has the answer been made that "the supply Is about equal to the demand.' In all other cases the replies which cover the entire country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, the replies to the secretary carry the same story.
 Most of the letters contain com ment of a very bitter nature against those who are. trying to lift the ban on immigration. Clippins from local newspapers showing the increasing activities of their local charity boards are also sent as proof that there IS surplus of labor and not a shortage. Others denounce in the strongest terms 'those who would seek to in tensify the present condition by seek ing to create the impression that there is shortage of labor as the reason for their desire to see the immigra- llOH ItSll lAllOh Ia" LIodiliNb.
 That there Is no necessity for action of this kind and is simply the efforts of paid propagandists in the employ of large contractors of state highways. working in conjunction with factory owners can readily be seen by glance at the following re- ports from various sections and indi- cative of the general tone of all the letters:
 Boston-"There are thousands out of work here"
 Los Angeles, Cal-"There is appar- entity about 10000 unemployed Ill this city"
 Minneapolis-"About 1,2oo unem- ployed here. No scarcity of labor i'll any industry"
 Portland, Ore.-"In no industry is there a scarcity of labor"
 Detroit, Mich.-'There is a line up in front of every employment agency in the city. The mission houses are full More men are seeking employ ment at local factories than can be used by them. There is big over supply of common labor and consider able of surplus of skilled workers in Detroit"

San Francisco, Nov 24.-John I. Nolan, member of, Congress from this city, died in a local hospital after several months illness. He is sur vived by wife and one daughter.
 Deceased was a member of the Holders Union and for several years was on the executive board of the international body. He was chairman of the house committee on labor. At the last election he was chosen for the sixth consecutive time.
 John l., Nolan never lost his trade unon ideals. Neither did he forget his life as an iron molder or the con ditions that confront wage workers. Whether on the floor of the house, in a caucus room or in committee meeting he was John l. Nolan. To him there were no "great" men.

mercy, which have been so manifest
in our lives. Thy good gifts have
not failed. morning nor evening.
When we have forgotten Thee in the
absorption Of work and play, when

has continually looked upon us to
bless and keep us.
We beeseech Thee, blessed Lord,
to keep US from all unholy desires
and practices, and to inspire within
us a love for Thee, for all our fell
lowmen, and all good work. We
ask Thee to open doors Of oppor-
tunity to us, that we may i'll some
| way each day honor Thy Name and
establish Thy will in the world. Give
us the highest privilege of hourly
fellowship with Thee. that we may
be confident OF Thy nearness to us
and Thy interest i'll our affairs.
Forgive the many things that have
nlarred our lives and stained OUT
souls. We are ashamed of them,
and turn from them in sincere re-
pentance. blessing Thee that there
is forgiveness and cleansing in Jesus
Christ, our Lord and Savior.
In His Name we ask all these

In the office OF the clerk OF the

district Of Nebraska at Omaha there
are filed some 500 items of taxes as
sessed under the internal revenue
laws against various individuals and
corporations ranging in amounts
from 5000 10 $4,000, which are liens
upon all property and rights to

corporations within the state.
Frank.]. Norton. an abstracter. de-
Slares that it is OF vital importance
to all persons dealing in real estate,
sellers, purchasers or mortgages, to
see that the abstracter certihes that
there are no such assessments or tax
liens affecting their real estate.
1t has been the custom of the
revenue department. to file these liens
in various places in the state which
were not accessible to title exam.
iners The. revenue department has
now made a ruling that hereafter all
such tax liens shall be filed with the
clerk of the United States district
court at Omaha, as the laws Of Ne
braska do not provide that such
liens shall be filed in the various
counties in the state.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Are You Putting OF Training Your
Child?

There are too many parents who
slide over or gloss over the mistakes
and the misbehavior oi their children,
thinking that children are bound to
be little pests,' as one woman ex-
pressed it, and they will get over it.
But how are these children to get
over being the little pest age for
themselves and all concerned unless
the parents help them out OF it.
Very often in households one par
ent recognizes this fact while the
other does not, and, for the sake of
peace, keeps still when correction
should be made.
This makes it not only harder for
the other parent, but eNerts bad i'll
fuence on the child, who thinks that
it can do a lot OF things when the
easy parent is around and get away
with it, which could not be done if
both were hand in hand to stop it.
1t is so much easier to imagipe
your child will outgrow its wrong
doing.
Ii you wait till tree is grown to
lop off ugly branches you leave a
SCARED trunk.
If you nip off the first appearance
of shoots where you do not want
them, the growth will go on, higher
and higher up the trunk till the
branch comes out just where you
want it, and you get perfect speci-
men.

Childrcn's troubles are as real TO

have a world OF their own and think
more deeply than we give them credit
for. They cannot be expected to be

Such a condition OF mind can only
