DEMOCRATS START
 CAMPAIGN WITH BIG
 RATIFICATION MEET
Gathering at New Haven Filled With Enthusiasm-G-.O P. Nominee

With a ratification meeting, con- ducted by women voters and attended by the largest gathering that ever sat down in the Hotel Garde at New Haven, the democratic campaign got under way with whoop last night All the candidates on the ticket were present, having had a meeting with the state central committee in the afternoon and mapping out the cam paign Each made a brief address which was received with an enthusi- asm that argued well for the success of the ticket. During This address Mayor FitzGerald, nominee for gov ernor, challenged the republican nom- inees to debate the issues of the cam palgn at any time or place. He also attacked the state administration for the heavy tax burdens placed upon the general public
 Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, nominee for senator, attacked the tar- if recently put over by the congress and declared 1t wasn't protective tariff but tax imposed directly on the people to make up republican de- fcits. Col Frank M. Chapin, nominee for lieutenant governor, scored the seating of Newberry in the senate and uCSldl GU llfC Cut1N SldlC tlCktl HCIC would be lugged into office on the shoulders of Mayor FitzGera1d. Each of the other nominees, Sheriff Thom- as L. Reilly, F. B. O'Suliivan, Stephen Whitney and Joseph Dutton, nom inees for congress, also spoke as did the new state chairman, E. M. Yeo- mans.

MILL COMING HERE TO ESCAPE UNIONS New Jersey Firm Moving to Middle town Ostensib1y to Avoid
 Labor Troubles.

Middletown, Sept 2o.-Even though the Chamber of Commerce is trying to keep secret the details of the re- ported coming here of another large mill, 1t has been learned that the firm said to be intending to locate here is the M. Bernstein & Sons Company of Paterson, N J., an anti-union manufacturing organization of silk shirtings. The reason for removing from Paterson to Middletown is said to be to escape labor troubles and get away from the unions"
 If that is the reason for co1nin g here the Bernstein firm may be actin g without counting in it's host inasmuch as since the recent mill strikes in eastern Connecticut and elsewhere in New Engalnd the workers have come to realize the great necessity of their organizing and have been organizing in large numbers. The company will only employ between, 75 and 100 hands at the start, 1t is said, and un- less those are brought here from Jer- sey the firm will find the mill work CTS pretty well organized here

MAIL CLERKS WILL
 NOT QUIT A. F. OF L.
Railway Men By Two to One Vote
 Decide to Stay In.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-Despite wire-pulling by anti-union officials in the postofice department, the railway postal clerks have declared by two to-one vote to continue their afhlia- tion with the American Federation of Labor. The official vote is 7,I3I for continued afiliation and 3,83o against.
 The clerks affiliated with the A. F.. of L in 1917 that they could more effectively fight against the oppres- sive policies of Postmaster General Burleson.
 Since the resignation of Postmast- CT General Hays there has been re- turn to the discredited Burleson poli- cies In the railway mail service $50 trained employees, some with many years experience, have been placed on the "surp1us" list. This change of policy from the Hays regime has also resulted in attempts by postal officials to control or discredit' postal organi- cations because of their criticism of postal conditions and the delay to mails because of curtailments.
 Officials of the various postal or ganizatoins regard the vote of the railway postal clerks as an indorse ment of their national officers and rebuke to impudent departmental officials.

TRAIN DELAYS NOW
 CAUSING RAISE IN PRICES OF MEATS
State Agricultural Board Puts Blame Directly Up to New Haven
 Road.

Hartford, Sept 2o.-Within the past two weeks, meat prices in Con necticut have been increased, due largely to the railroad situation, ac- cording to the market bulletin of the state board of agriculture The con- tinued shortage of fast and sure transportation has also lessened live stock shipments, the bulletin says.
 Within the last two weeks the eff feet of the crippled railroad service have been more apparent upon the produce markets of the state than at any time since the strike of some of the railroad employees last July. Pre- vious to this, the only change noticed was the strengthening of the meat market in anticipation of transporta- tion difficulties, strengthening not long maintained. There was also an acute shortage of cantaloupes at east ern markets.
 Within the last two weeks, how ever the continued shortage of fast and sure transportation has resulted in an increased meat frmness due to the lateness of arrival at consuming markets and lighter shipments from livestock shipping points. This re- suited in packing house centers being unable to supply the demands of the meat trade in eastern cities. Price advances developed within this period and are being steadily sustained.

Instead of Endorsing Any Man or Party Ticket New Haven Trades Council Com mittee Decides to Place All Facts Be- fore Workers and Let Them Decide the Is- sue. .
No formal endorsements will

No formal endorsements will be given any candidates on any party ticket in the coming cleo lions by the Non-Partisan Com mittee of the New Haven Trades Council but instead the records of all candidates for office from this section will be compiled and sent to all voter members of Or ganized Labor, according to de- cision reached by the committee at its regular meeting on Wednes- day night. With the nomina- lions on both major party tickets practically complete, or will be completed within a few days it is found that to give out and out endorsements might injure <unin- tentionally some friend of Or ganized Labor and the worker generally so therefore the other course will be pursued
 It had been the intention to give an out and out endorsement of such candidates whose past records show ed them to be fair minded as far as matters affecting the workers are concerned. This policy in fact had been made the order of business for last "Wednesday night but in the dis cussion that took place at the largely attended meeting so many diverse opinions were expressed that 1t was decided to collect the records of all candidates, place them side by side in r1an7nhIef form nd cer1d fo he voters for perusal and action.
 The records of large number of nominees are already compiled and show up some of them in anything but a favorable light so far as Labor is concerned. On the other hand there are many candidates in the field this year who have in public and private life before shown themselves friendly and this will be fully set forth Then the voter can read for himself and vote accordingly.
 All that remains now IS the nom nations of representatives on the re- publican side and of several senators on, the democratic side. As these are considefed about as important as any offices in which Labor is interested, as it is before the Legislature Labor will have to seek any betterments in the laws, the records will probably not be sent out until these nomination are made This will be within very few days now, however, so that ample time will be given the voters to look 'em over" and vote intelligently for his best interests.
 The committee has the campaign wei in hand and with several more regualr meetings scheduled between now and election expects to be able to insure labor giving good account of itself at this election.

WORKERS CLEANUP COUNCIL ELECTION
 IN NEW LONDON
Throw Out Reactionary Members of Board and Place Two
 Liberals On 1t.

New London, Sept. 2o.-Organized
 Labor especially but all workers gen
 orally took civic affairs into their own
 hands in the election here on Mon day and defeated for return to the
 City Council two members who to say the least have been showing an un- friendly interest in anything that would benefit the toiling masses. The defeated candidates, Mrs. Annie C. S. Fenner, owner of the Babcock Press shops, which has recently been re- pairing New Haven road locomotives, and William D. (Deacon) Harris, a member of the Chamber of Commerce clique, were supported by.th Good Government" faction, but they. got 1t good and proper.
 also supported by William C. Fox and other progressive members on the council, were Thomas Gragan and Clarence w. Thompson, were actual ly swept into office Since the insti- tuition of the council-manager plan of government the city's affairs have been in constant turmoil, the react ionary members on the board advo- eating wage cuts even to the school teachers now poorly paid, the restric- ton of Sunday privileges at the beach and other like measures intended to hamper the working public In this they were supported to a large ex- tent by the city manager and the Chamber of Commerce and so-called Bodewein-Day faction, but have been consistently fought by the liberal members on the council, including Mr. Fox.
 With the election of two more lib- eral members the council can now be controlled and it is intimated that the city manager will be given taste of wage cutting by having his own sal ary slashed considerably in the very near future.

GOMPERS ATTACKS
 RAIL LABOR BOARD

New York, Sept. 2o.-Return to the old-time method of settling disputes round table" and abolishment of the railroad labor board were features of an address by President Gompers at the Civitan club in this city
 The trade unionist declared that meddling and muddling always fol- lowed the governments attempt to in terfere with the economic life of tie nation.
 Compulsory arbitration was re- ferred to as an attempt to legalize in voluntary servitude. This system has been abortive in Australasia" said President Gompers. "The industrial court in Kansas has been a hasco and has accomplished nothing except to widen the chasm between employed and employers"
 Tn referring to the anti-labor at titude of many newspapers, President Gompers said: "This is natural be- cause the proprietors of the large newspapers are large employers of la bor themselves"

RAILROAD IGNORES SHOPMEN'S OFFER TO
 END THE STRIKE
Although Pearson Has Publicly De. clined, Strikers Letters Is
 Not Answered.

Although it has admitted in the
 public press that it's officers had re-
 ceived a communication from the
 officers of the striking shop crafts,
 the New Haven road has so far 1g-
 nored the communication so far as the
 strikers are concerned but President
 Pearson has issued a statement to the
 effect that the road will not treat with the men on the acceptance of the plan of settlement adopted by many of the much larger roads of the country tC settle the strike of the shop crafts. The letter from the strike committee was sent to the road officials on Fri day last but was entirely ignored until early this week when President Pear son issued a statement from New York reiterating the roads policy of regarding the strikers as no longer employees.
 This attitude was anticipated by the strikers committees who are keeping we'll informed of the roads condition and attitude of it's officers. Despite the propaganda steadily issued from the road offices that conditions of rolling stock are rapidly improving and the shops working almost on schedule, the, strikers, and the public KNOW DellcI dHu lHC SllIhClo oioO know that the operating officials are heartily sick of the whole thing and if 1t wasn't for outside influence, be- lieved to be the Pennsylvania system which is the largest stockholder in the New Haven, that the strike would be speedily settled.
 As stated in The Labor News last week, the strikers did not expect a. favorable reply from the road but sent the request on as a matter ot form and inaccord with instructions from international headquarters. B. M. Jewen, president of the Railway of the A. F. of L., who IS handling the strike nationally, has assured the strike committee that in event of failure to reach agreement with the road, he will come here and seek to open negotiations. The strike committee will wait few days long CT, however, before sending for MT. Jewell so as to give the road all the required to either turn down or accept the offer of settle ment.

PRESIDENT GIVEN
 ADDITIONAL POWER
Can Raise or Lower Tariff at Will
 Under Astounding New Law.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-The con- gress that has just adjourned empow- Nered the President to increase and lower tariff rates, a function that the constitution specifically declares be- longs to the house of representatives (@All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house of representa- tives," sec. 7, art I)-
 This law was passed in connection with the new tariff act. The law makers surrendered one of their func- tions to the executive under the plea that the tariff should be flexible"
 The President IS empowered to raise or lower any rate in the bill not to exceed 50 per cent and to apply the American valuation plan. The President shall make changes in the tariff after the federal tariff commis- sion holds hearings and renders de- cision.
 The bill indicates long step toward further <centrallZat1on and bureaucracy in government. Here after if trust wants SO per cent sary to appeal to congress and have the subject discussed by the people in general.
 The proper hove henceforth will be to quietly call upon the federal trade coz111ll lssIo on, which will an nonnce hearings. The President will be guided by the commissions decis- ion, The President appoints the com mission. .H .... ..
 When the people become accus- toned to small doses of flexible" tariff the next move may be to give the President full power to make tariff laws, and the abdication of con gress in this matter will be complete
