he incorporation matter was brought up by MT. O'Meara and ere ated a spirited discussion, some of the
 delegates frankly admitting that they
 didn't understand the dangers that the
 proposition included. When 1t was
 pointed out to these delegates that
 their individual rights and property
 would be placed at the mercy of the
 antagonistic interests, the sentiment
 effort to the full limit Reports of
 the financial conditions of the several
 locals in the state council showed all
 to be i'll very fair shape, Meriden re- porting such good financial stand
 ing now that 1t proposes to drop its
 per capita tax.
 The meeting also took up com plaint that state building job being
 done by the H. Wales Lines com
 pany of Meriden, at Middletown, was
 being carried on unfair to the steam
 filters and a committee was appoint ed to wait on MT. Lines and endeavor 10 adjust it. MT. O'Meara also warn cd the meeting that the anti-strike bill was very apt to crop up again at the next legislature and cautioned the delegates to be very careful in the elections next fall, to be sure that only men who could be relied upon to defeat such an measure were sent to the legislature.
 A resolution of regret at the re- tirement of Secretary Mulholland was adopted and a committee appointed to draw up suitable testimonials and pre- sent them to him.
 The election of officers was held at the afternoon session and although Presi- dent F. A. Fitzgerald endeavored to de- cline a renomination the delegates in sisted and he was chosen again to head the organization. Mir. Fitzgerald de- clared that he believed that a change in the presidency would benefit the organ ization but the delegates disagreed with him. Secretary Mulhol1and of Water bury declared that the work done by MT. Fitzgerald during the year, admittedly the hardest the building trades have had tt face, was on very high calibre and should be continued by keeping him in office Delegate Mordecai of the New Haven carpenters agreed with the sec retary and advised that the president be retained. Mir. Fitzgerald again request ed a cfange be made but the convention overruled him by vote by exclamation ordering the secretary to cast a unani- nous ballot for his return to office.
 Vice President Frank J. Cooney of Hartford was reno1ninated and reelected without opposition also. A contest de- veloped for the office of secretary, Sec retary Mulholland having rendered his at the previous meeting be- cause of business that called him else where and made 1t almost impossible to fulfill the duties. Henry Geiss of Meri- den and c. F. Bremen of Waterbury were nominated and Delegates Loudon and Durmont appointed as tellers. The result of the ballot showed Brennan elected by a majority of five and on motion of Mir Geiss the election was made unanimous The officers were then by President P. F. O'Meara of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, who was present as delegate from the New Haven Plumbers local.
 Reports of conditions of trades in the various cities about the state were far from encouraging at the present time,

and the high class manner in
which the members y conduct

SCHOOLS Lose, BY
FINANCIAL POLICY

A special to the Louisville
Times had the following of in
terest to taxpayers and school
teachers in particular:
Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 8-Every
school in the state is a double
loser because of the financial
system by which money from
the state school fund is borrow
ed to pay other officials and en-
royes and warrants are issued
for the payment of teachers. The
Louisville schools, which receive
a certain percentage of their
money from the state, suffer
along with the rest.
1T is unconstitutional to use
this. money for any other pur-
pose,," said State School Super
int ehdent Colvin-tofay, "and the
Attorney General backs me up
III this declaration~EThe law
specifies; that the school money
shall ndt83e, used for any pur-
pose except the purpose for
which it is levied.
"This system costs the state
school fund $4,000 a year"
Mr.. Colvin said that he was
confident of settling the matter
amicably by the end of the week.
If Understanding warrants
are issued for the September
distribution of the state school
fund, which ought to have $533,-
1865 on deposit to its credit,
Mr.. Colvin says, the states gen
eral fund and not the school
fund must pay the interest
He made this announcement
after State Treasurer James
Wallace, who is in Irvine, told
him over the telephone that the
distribution would be made in
warrants and not in cash.
The books showed school
balance of $530,398.21 August 81,
but there was only $302,78257 in
the treasury, the difference ex-
actly tallying with a deficit in
tie general expenditure fund.
The general fund has carried a
deficit for two months.
The first distribution of the
school fund for the payment of
teachers salaries is due Satur-
day and the State Superintend-
ent has drawn warrants.

should turn their attention to unlisted
bonds outstanding in small amounts and
which give a high return. Bonds pos

therefore sell much higher and offer
smaller yields than do inactive bonds,

is sometimes of better character. Aben-
