assiduously in PlainAeld and Danielson
to form locals Of these unions
This is Of particular interest in view

ers. except possibly a stray individual,
in Plainfeld's or Killingly's cotton man

Plainfield, Moosup, Wauregan and

They have not overlooked the fact

Every previous effort to unionizt
workers in the cotton mills in this ter.
ritory has met with fiat failure, anG
there is no indication of prospect of a
greater success in the present movement
Deciding for themselves, the cotton mil
workers hereabouts have always avoided
union utilization, and at this particular
line the great majority of them are
showing no favorable interest at all IL
the plan to organize them.
They are at work and getting a pay
envelope every week, and those are two
big and important facts against which
unfonization and strike arguments carry
very little weight at this particular time
when from 4 100000 to 5000, 900 worker,
are out of employment throughout tn.

Frank Barber, rated one Of the clsssles
duckpin bowlers in Connecticut, has re
turned from New Haven conference a
which he offered to enter in what ha!
been described in Connecticut papers al
the state duckpin tournament
Mr.. Barber didn't get much satisfac
ton out of that trip He was told tina
he lived in a too distant corner Of tn,
state to be allowed to enter-and tina
was about the end of the proposition
Insofar as Mr.. Barber Is concerned. MI
Barber seems wholly right, however, il
his claim that the name of the tourna
ment should be revised so that It nigh
be known as the New Bridgeport

than the state tournament-an idea, tina
he suggested to the bowIers he met 1
New Haven. Mr.. Barber has written
Waterbury paper about the matter, an
the letting of him out will be given du
publicity in that corner of Connection
next Sunday.
Mr.. Barber has arranged a mate
with Hallisey of New London, the fir.
