HOW:

RECENT INVENTION WILL.
REDUCE PRICE OF SILK.
Silk has always been CON
s'dered an article of luxury on
account of its high cost in COM
parison with other textile ma
terials, writes United States
Commercial Attache II. G. Mac
Lean from Rome. This has been
due In large degree to the labor
necessary in handling the CO.
coons and preparing the thread
for spinning. Consequently the
silk industry has dourlshed only
In countries where cheap labor
Is available.
After soaking the cocoons in
, water the thread has always
been unreeled by hand, which Is
q work Of great delicacy. but one
for which 1t has not been posi-
Bile to pay high wages. Thus,
While silk weaving in. Italy has
been making progress the pre-
paration Of the raw silk has
shown decline. 1t is now re-
Z. ported that an Italian silk cX-
pert has succeeded in perfectinS
machine which will perform
the operation of unreeling the
thread mechanically. A new
company has recently been
formed. which has taken over
the patents covering The inven-
tion and will manufacture the
machines.
If the invention succeeds COM
mercially as we'll as it has in
the experiments that have been
made it bids fair to revOlutiOnize
the silk industry. and. according
to the inventor, the cost of silk
may he reduced to such an eX-
tent that it will be able to COM
pete with cotton and linen.

TRADES UNIONISM IS ESSENTIAL TO PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION
 DECIDE INTERNATIONAL DEBATERS
Benefit Dance For
 Striking Shopnen
Many Have Already Got Jobs Else where but Remainder Deserve
 Support.

A benefit dance will be held at Music Hall, New Haven, on Wednes- day night next, October 18, to assist the striking New Haven shopmen and large attendance should be present. The men have withstood the long seige practically 100 per cent loyal and with the fight nearly won, should be given all the support possible just now. More than I5o of the New Ha- ven men have already secured jobs with other roads who have settled and more are going out daily. Therefore those who are yet sticking out here until they too get jobs elsewhere de- serve consideration.
 Many of the local unions are aiding the shopmen, the Cigar Makers for instance this week laying another assessment of 25 cents on each mem Der to assist the strike. This is the fourth such assessment by the cigar men and each has averaged something more than $Ioo.

Open Shop Crowd Planning To Take AnothefIShot
 Al Organized Workers Throughout Conn cticu
WHO WOULDN'T BE
 COMMUTER ON THE
 NEW HAVEN ROAD?

Conditions are perfectly "normap' on the New Haven road, according to Bardo's daily statement, but he can daily use the accommodation train leaving Hartford at 5:3o a. m. each work day. Here's why:
 On Thursday of this week, the train, which picks up hundreds of shop and office workers between Hartford and New Haven dragged in to New Haven as far as the Ferry street bridge at Cedar Hill and then it even stopped to drag. Even though the yards were right behind an en- zine capable of pulling the train into the New Haven station wasn't to be had so the commuters after waiting half hour or so had to get off and take trolleys to their work, arriving an hour or more late
 But that wasn't the worst. This morning, Friday, the same train again tried to drag itself from Hartford to New Haven but couldn't make 1t. In stead 1t went dead at 'Quinnipiac sta tion, which is.some miles from troll ley line and the commuters had to get off and this time hike" Many of them walked to the Wallingford trolley line while others begged rides in passing autos and horde even rode in on brick teams coming to- wards the city from the Quinnipiac brick yards.
 This is only one instance of the roads "normalcy"

SEE SETTLEMENT OF X SHOP MEN STRIKE
 IN NEAR FUTURE
New Haven Conditions, and B. & M. Confab May Bring End to
 Trouble.

Worcester, Mass, Oct I3.-From present indications the strike of rail road shopmen, at least as far as con- ditions hereabouts are concerned, will be a thing of the past within a few days. News to the effect that Erie officials had signed the Baltimore agreement satisfied officials of the local shop mems unions that the con- ference held few days ago between Pennsylvania executives and Presi- dent Jewell of the Federated Railway unions had been successful and that as the New Haven is subsidiary of the Pennsylvania, that settlement on the New Haven would follow soon
 According to information received by union officials Boston & Maine officials were in conference a few days ago and that this in their opin- ion. would mean the re-opening of that railroads shops in Worcester to striking shopmen.
 To strengthen their belief in this direction shop mems officials have also been given to understand tha. President Loree of the Delaware & Hudson, who, since the strike was started, has been foremost in opposi- ton to~a settlement, has also con sented to enter into conference with union officials, and that with all these units working toward a settlement the men now look clear for complete vic tory.
 According to shop mems officials there are only two strikebreakers left in the. B. & A. engine house. The fact, they say, that strikers who re- turned to their employment at the B. & A. shops have not been required to sign applications for employment leads them to believe that the senior ity question Will be settled in this mannerFrather than that specified in the Baltimore agreement.
 Tickets who reported this week said that conditions on the New Ha- ven are far from improving and re- ferred to several among numerous in stances where trains were greatly de- layed because of inefficient repair work
 For instance on Norwich train Mo- 7o5 was two hours late arriving in Worcester, and 7o2 was one hour and 35 minutes late leaving Worcester. No power was given as the reason for the delay.
 New Haven freight No. 6, which was scheduled to leave Worcester at 6. p. m., was cancelled. Reason no power.
 Three switchers taken from the en- ginehouse were from two to three hours late Due to inefficient repairs, I8o cars brought to the New Haven yard by Boston & Maine crews were greatly delayed in making up trains.

WILLIAMS NAMED
 FOR STATE SENATE
 AFTER BIG FIGHT
Plainfeld Labor Man and World War Veteran Wins Nomination
 in 2oth District.

Willimantic, Oct I3.-In one of the most lively democratic conven-
 tions ever held in this, the goth Sena-
 torial district, former Representative
 Charles H. Williams, one of the most active Organized Labor men in the state, was nominated for state sen- ator this week and because of the changed conditions of the workers in the mills of the district following the recent textile strike, his supporters are freely predicting his. election. Mr.
 Williams is mot only a loyal Labor man but also has the distinction of being the oldest man from Connecti- cut to get into the World War, he, after the United States turned him down because of his age, broke his served through the Peninsula cam paign with the Anzacs.
 MT. Williams was representative from Plainfeld in the legislature of 1917, having defeated soundly mill owner who, it was charged, had put him on the blacklist and practically driven him perpetually out of employ ment in P1ainfeld (Moosup) his home town. Williams, thowever, managed to live through 1t and when the cleo tion rolled around and the mill own CT went out for the legislature, he offered himself as a candidate against him and gave him good political drubbing At the close of the session he entered the war.
 After his return from the war he was laid up for many months having been gassed, torpedoed, wounded and getting all the joys out of the conflict. Two years ago he was nominated by the democrats for senator, but went down with the rest in the republican landslide. At the convention this week he was opposed by Oscar F. At wood of Brooklyn, who got three votes on the first ballot and none on the next, and by Frank o: Davis of Pomfret, who had I2 votes on the first two ballots and but 10 on the third, MT. Williams coming up iron. nine votes on the first to E on the third which gave him the nomination.
 His name was placed in nomination by Lucy Froening of Plainheld the only woman delegate at the conven- ton and herself a warm supporter of Labor as proved during the textile strike in Moosup where she conducts a business. Her nominating speech was worthy of any of the esteemed political orators. She is a candidate for representative and if elected will make a good team with MT. Williams in pulling for the workers cause.

Oxford Yale COmbina- ton Team Having Affirmative Gets AL most Unanimous Yer, dict of Brilliant Audi ence at Great Contest at Yale University.

Trades Unionisrn is essential to the progress of civilization, accord ing to the vote of the audience that attended the debate between the team representing Oxford (England) University and Yale, held at Yale University this. week, and which audi ence was made up not of workingmen and trades unionists but of particu- larly select assemblage of college pro- fessors, society and wealthy folk at tracted by the debate itself rather than the subject to be discussed. True there were number of trade union ists in the audience that packed the large Sprague Memorial hall but they were hardly sprinkling in the tf1rong that stood up in the affirmative when Dean Swan of the Yale Law School, who presided, put the matter of de- cision up to the asserhblage.
 The debate was held under the English custom of permitting the speakers to choose the side of the and believe in. The solidity of Or ganized Labor and it's benefits in Great Britain was reflected in the choice of sides which resulted in two of the Oxford men and one Yale man taking the side that "unionism is essential" while two Yale men and one Oxford man took the negative. Even the Oxford man opposing the resolution declared his sympathies are with Organized Labor( but he could not approve of the methods adopted to bring about their aims, but he did admit that Labor in the United States goes about it in a more legal manner than does Labor in Great Britain.
 On the affirmative side were M. $. Hollis, Oxford; H..J. Voorhis, 1923; R. N. Lindsey, Oxford, and w. C. Kernan, 1923, alternate. The follow ing men were on the negative: Ed ward Majoribanks, Oxford; s. H. Whedon, 1924; T. Vennum, 1923, and w. J. Ballinger, 1923, alternate.> Be sides the debaters, President Angel1, Dean Swan, H. N. Smith, 1923, chair man of the News; w. Shiras, 1923, chairman of the Record" and M E.

 Mr. Hollis was the first speaker for the affirmative. He declared that inas- much as trade unions were essential to

hat the convention IS preparatory to another slam at Organized Labor IS apparent from the invitations sent out, they being headed off with the declaration that Is becoming moth eaten that I've believe in the right of every individual to work without in- terference Or molestation on the part of those who do not wish to work" That IS signed "The Open Shop Con- ference of Connecticut, Incorporated" but 1t smacks so much of Bardo and the railroad strike that there is little left to the imagination. Among labor men there Is little concern any more about the <"Open Shop" movements, they having demonstrated to their own satisfaction during the previous drives against them, that Labor is well able to take care of itself.
 While the invitation sent out to those sought to attend the "conven- tion," which will be held at the Hart ford Club, does not say the purpose is to begin another onslaught against the organized workers of Connecticut and through that put the fear of Mammon or their jobs in the hearts of the unorganized fellows, there isn't any doubt about the purpose.
