In little journey about the city
last Sunday we noticed many
sig1s of Spring cleaning which
mad been going on the past week.
Carpenters had been busy. Paint
ers had frightened up many
ouses, and there was an unmis-
sakable atmosphere of cleanliness
verywhere.
Nothing so adds to the attrac-
veness o. a community as a thor
gh cleaning up during spring
months. Visitors are quick to take
note of the general appearance OF
city. Flower beds should be laid
!. iAWIs worked over, add lit
ertilizer. 1t doesn't take a
tat amount of work, and the
,lcasure you will derive will more
nan repay you.
Brandon is pretty little city
nc it can be made more attrac-
we if home owners will dress
sir premises up a little. Let's
all try it.

SECRET GERRYMANDER OF COP. RIPS NEW HAVEN
 SENATORIAL DISTRICTS
BAKERS REFUSE TO
 ARBITRATE AGAIN
Claim They Got Trimming" When
 They Did So in March.

What appears to be an absolute deadlock has arisen between the masters and journeymen bakers in New Haven on the matter of wage and working agreement. The agree ment expired May I but several con ferences since have failed in settle ment, the journeymen bakers abso- lutely refusing to submit to a clause making arbitration compulsory and asking the restoration of their old wage and the employers insisting on arbitration and a reduction.
 The journeymen submitted an op- erating wage agreement to arbitra- ton last March and claim they got q trimming" when the Rev. J. A Magee, the arbitrator, gave the mast CT bakers practically all they asked and the workers a lot of praise for their good works. He took an aver age of $4 a week off their pay and this the bakers declare, unwarranted by conditions.

Open Shop Council Starts Another Vicious 4 tack
 On Building Trades to Couer U1 Cost of Material
Bridgeport C. L. U. Has Big Meeting
Organization Campaig gn to Offset An
 ti-Union Drive Starts Well.

Bridgeport, May Io.-Central La bor Union hall was packed on Wednesday night at an open meeting held by the Bridgeport C. L. U. i'll line with an organization campaign to combat the wage cutting drive being made generally here against all class es of workers. The addresses were opened by Carl Lang who reviewed the local situation and warned those present that they could expect worse to come unless they prepared to re- sist it. He was followed by John w. Murphy, president of the New Ha- ven board of aldermen and business agent of the Cigar Makers union, who outlined conditions throughout the state.
 Bridgeport workers have been ex- ceptionally hit by the industrial slump, especially the manufacturers, taking every advantage to beat wages down and make hours longer. It is apparent the employers are in a conl- bination in that respect and to Coun- teract them closer organizations of the workers will be sought.

LEGISLATORS PASS DRY BILL, WIND UP
 IN DRUNKEN ORGY
Rhode Island Solons After Killing All Labor Bills Have
 Wild Spree.

The hypocricy attending the en- tire prohibition amendment to the Constitution and the resultant Vol stead enforcement act was never bet ter emphasized than Ii was last week in Rhode Island where the legislature there, after long discussion passed a state enforcement act and then went into drunken orgy and closed it's session. According to Providence newspapers the scenes enacted in the ''windup' were so disgraceful that an official investigation may be demand ed and some persons removed from office. According to the newspaper reports the scene is pictured as one where legislators who prided over passing legislation for enforcing pro- hibition, were actually engaged in a disgraceful orgy Of drunkenness and scandalous behavior.
 The disgraceful scene, 1t is said, was held in the State House and besides the solons, there were many promin- ent business men and politicians who enjoyed the big time.
 While hypocritically advancing the interests of prohibition the Rhode Is land legislature put to death all bills promoting the welfare of working people, these including the 48-hour week bill for women and children employed in factories, acts prohibiting night work for womne and children, mothers pension and other remedial legislation.
 Here is the way one newspaper re- ferred to the closing scenes of the Hard Shell Legislature:
 'Clinking glasses, segregated quar- tets with thick impediments in voices lifted to song, the occasional crash of falling legislator into his seat were frequent interruptions to trav- esty on legislation throughout the long last session.
 "Then at / a. m. came the word that the works were dry, the awak- ening of snoring sleepers and a gen eral exodus to taxicabs and automo- piles of heavy-eyed, cotton-mouthed men who had been elected to serve with dignity fitting the high offices they occupied. Out they staggered in twos, threes and fours, the gentlemen who had just made history for Rhode Island and enacted a law to enforce prohibition among the people.

HOOVER CHECKS
 COAL BROTHERS
 BY DIRE THREATS
Compels Operators to Promise Fuel at Fair Price During
 Strike.

Washington, May Io-Coal oper- ators, from whose mines all the coal now being mined is taken, and who were preparing and had already start ed to gouge the public by jumping the prices of the bituminous coal, were halted yesterday afternoon when Secretary Hoover summoned a bunch of them in and laid down the law and finally secured their promise that they would not attempt to profiteer on the supply.
 The scheme, adopted only after some tense moments in open debate during which Mr. Hoover told the op- orators that the "coal industry would either govern itself or the government would govern it," was drawn up in a formal statement by committee of the operators present for reference to Attorney General Daugherty. The committee also issued a call for an- other and larger gathering of oper- ators to ratify the plan
 The plan will require the creation of clearing house committees in each producing coal district, made up of operators, consumers representatives, and government agent, who will su- pervise distribution of orders for coal, will see that coal is sold direct to consumers, and that prices are req sonable A general committee in Washington of the same type will Ob- tain coordination between the dis triCt committees.

POSTAL CLERKS
 PROTEST ANOTHER
 RIDICULOUS ORDER
New Fad of Two Examinations |; Year Is Opposed by
 Union

In addition to their protests about the "humanizing" regulations in the postofice instituted by Will Hays, late postmaster general, and told Of
 in The Labor News two weeks ago, another ridiculous order has come out from the F, o. department by which mail clerks are now required to take
 two examinations year to hold their jobs ,and this order met with an offic ial protest by Local 237, Of Postoffice Clerks of New Haven at its meet ing this week The clerks were re- Guired to take an examination every year to keep up with the new fangled theories of desk men in Washington and had to put in many hours of study on their own time to do that. To have to take two examinations each year would require them to be studying all year round on their own
 time and even then they could no. keep up, so rapid arc the changes
 shifted onto them. A bill to provide half hour study period on working time has been presented at Washing
 ton by Rep. James M. Mead of New York and this was endorsed by the local.
 Election Of officers was held and
 resulted in the reelection of Ray
 mond Spillane, president; Reuben kaplan, recording secretary, and Paul Raffile, financial secretary. Vice President George A. Uihlein declined
 reelection because of pressing busi-
 ness duties and Joseph McDermott was elected in his stead.

LABOR'S ELECTION
 COMMITTEE NOW
 FULLY ORGANIZED
Adds to Executive Board and Adopts Regular Meeting
 Nights.

With the naming of additional members 10 the executive board and the adoption of regular meeting nights for the entire committee, the New Haven Organized Labor's non partisan political campaign got well under way at d second meeting Ill Trades Council Hall on last Friday night. But one group, the railroad workers unions, remains to fill its membership on the executive board and this will be completed during the week just passing when those organ izatlons meet.
 The interest organized labor gen orally is taking in this campaign was evidenced by the large attendance at the meeting and the lengthy discus sion of plans that was entered into. With the completion of the executive committee the work will be sub divided first to get the workers in terested in their party primaries and then assist in nominating men friend ly towards labor and the worker gen orally. Those added to the board were August Striby, bakers, representing the label trades; George F. Mordecai, carpenters, the building trades, and John Dunn, molders, the metal trades. The entire committee then decided to hold regular meetings son the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at Trades Council hall. Frank Thomann of the R. K. electrical workers was added to the organiza- tiOn committee.
 It was made plain at the meeting that all organized labor whether afhli- ated with the Trades Council or not, is welcome to join the campaign. Al ready several local unions not affili- ated have sent committees and they have-been seated. When the cam paign gets under way, organizations not actually Labor but working along the same lines of bettering humanity will be invited to participate SO as to make the campaign generally a work CTS movement.
 Secretary Ives and Delegate Bren- nan reported visiting several local union meetings and receiving great endorsement of the campaign. This was especially true of the Railroad Brotherhoods of Engineers and Trainmen both of which declared em- phatically that they were in hearty sympathy with the move and although not affiliated with the Trades Council would have delegates present at the next meeting. The newly organized building laborers also joined in last nipht

Columns of Silence Greet Furuseth, Presenting Labor
 Answer to Giant Grab Bill

Washington, D. C., May Io.- I-abor's opening attack upon the amazing ship subsidy bill, which provides for turning over millions of dollars to shipping interests, was not news to the newspapers of the United States.
 For a solid month ship-own- CTS, shipping lawyers, hnan- ciers, shipping board officials and all manner of rctainers had been on the stand before the joint senate and house commit tee on merchant marine They told why the treasury should be opened to shipownerS.
 They got columns upon col umns of newspaper space. The doors were open to the pro- ponents of this gigantic scheme.
 Comes labor. in the person of Andrew Furuseth, ripping away the pretenSe, telling what he bill means The newspapers couldn't hear him!
 Ship owners getting millions ship owners that hate labor. Ship owners getting ships for nothing; getting big subsidy for running them; getting money at per cent, secured by ship given by the govern ment. because a ship sold with I5 years to pay for it is as good as given for nothing; get ting tax exemptions that will net millions, getting almost ev- erything in sight-theSe got their story in print. Tn print favOrablv. too. "Our best peo- pie" with their feet in the trough!
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-05-19

They make news" when they tell congress what they want.
 Labor, opening it's case, say ing sensational things-facts- taking the glimmer and pre- tense off the rotten thing-no news. No news today"
 Furuseth completely smashed the ship subsidy argument
 Is there a higher cost in American built ships2
 YES, but remove the ship building monopoly established by law and costs will be equal ized.
 Are wages paid by American shipowners higher?
 NO, and they never will be if the Seanen's Act is en- forced. Better enforcement would increase foreign wages to the American standard. In- stead the American wage-cut- ting policy has driven Amer jeans off the sea, a reduction from 5I to IS per cent. in 1920 nat IS the adm1nlStratlOn idea of "an American merchant marine'
 Labor, fighting against these things, for the people, making legitimate news with every word spoken; was suppressed.
 Andrew Furuseth, fighting with facts, speaking for mil lions. fighting huge grab, fighting for freedom, fighting to protect the masses of the peo- pie and the workers in particu- lar, didn't have a chance in the newspapers.
 He didn't have chance, and he didn't get a chance!
