THEATERS AGAIN
 ON UNFAIR LIST
Winchester Re-opens With Non Unoin Help While Liberty and
 Dreamland Continue.

The Winchester theater, after being closed all summer after the failure to operate 1t as a non-union house, re- opened on Thursday night still as an unfair establishment despite the pro- tests of the Movie Operators Union. The theater now is being conducted by the owner, Sanders w. Hart, local superintendent of the John Hancock Insurance company, who, according to the report made to the New Haven Trades Council, last night, refuses to consider placing a union operator in the house. A committee was ap- pointed by the council to wait on MT Hart and if he still refuses to employ union help the place will be placed on the unfair list.
 The Liberty theater on Congress avenue was also reported as unfair, last night, the owner being absolute ly antagonistic towards the union and aside from refusing to employ union men Is breaking in young men to work against the union The Dream land on Grand avenue is also still un- fair and committees were appointed to wait on both of these places and try to straighten them out before the theater season gets going.

CONNECTICUT LABOR DEMANDS IMPEACHMENT OF DAGHERTY
 FOR VIOLATING FEDERAL CONSTITUTION IN STRIKE JUNCTIO
OFFICIAL PAPER CALLS ROAD BLUFF
 ON SHOP STRIKE

The New Haven road says it's train service is normal and that it's repair shops are running up to standard and the force now em- ployed is carrying on capably the work that was formerly done by the striking shopmen. Now comes the Boston News Bureau, a hnan- cial newspaper, and which has for many years been recognized as the official mouthpiece of the New Haven road, with the following statement as to conditions on the road. It reads like the famous buncombe of back to normalcy" handed the public by the present federal administration some year or two ago. It follows:
 "In an article today on the New Haven road rolling stock, the Bos- ton News Bureau reports that the system has 334 locomotives out of the service because of bad re- pairs. Of these, AZ are heavy en- zines. Also, there are II,58I freight cars out of commission, and 75o passenger cars. The New Haven road today reports a con- tinuation of the normal operation of passenger and freight service heretofore reported"

CHARGE CARPENTERS
 ORGANIZER WITH BEING
 TRAITOR TO STRIKERS
TRACKMEN TO HAVE ; BIG MASS MEETING
 AND TALK STRIKE
Not Satisfied With Attitude of New
 Haven Road or Railroad Board.

Not satisfied with the five cent raise granted them by the New Haven road, nor satisfied with the attitude of the Railroad Labor Board at the -rehearing of their case a week or two ago, although no decision has yet been handed down, the maintenance of way men and laborers on the New Haven system will hold a general mass meeting in New Haven a week from tomorrow night, September 16 at which definite action as to whether or not they will remain at work will be taken It Is expected that Grand President Grable will be present and address the gathering.
 Since the road granted the raise and at the same time tried to inveigle the trackmen into joining a company union and dropping their own organ ization there has been general dis satisfaction among the men. Some 1t is stated got the increase while a large number of others who refused to sign up when 1t became known that they were signing for company union did not get it. This has caused great discomfort and. 1t was all that Organizer DeVifo and other leaders of the men could do to keep them at work pending the result of the Chi cago conference.
 According to the reports received by the trackmen here, the attitude of the Labor Board at Chicago was so antagonistic that they have little to hope for from that source and they therefore are anticipating an adverse decision and will be ready to act when 1t comes. The mass meeting will probably be held dn Moose Hall, ac- cording to the arrangements now be- ing made. It is anticipated that sev- eral thousand men from all parts of the system will be present. s

|U. s. Marshal Needs
 Lesson In Courtesy
Miller's Action in Serving Papers at Ready Home Credit" to Service.

Of course little courtesy is to De expected from a government official but for downright discourtesy and worse, Deputy U. s. Marshal David Miller of Waterbury gets the plum. Miller was given the papers to serve upon Chairman John C. Ready of the railroad strike committee in the re- cent injunction order and went to MT. Ready's home yesterday afternoon to serve them.
 Mir Ready was not at home and Miller was met by MT. Ready's IT. year-old daughter She told MHer her father was not at home, but he wouldn't believe her and told her so. She insisted and then he tried to force the papers upon the child but she refused to take them, telling him she was not old enough to know any thing about 1t.
 How old are you anyhow?" snap ped Miller and when she answered II years he told her she was lying. By that time he had the child well frightened and she started to shut the door but he pushed 1t open, fired the papers in on the floor and then slam med the door shut after him. It's probably good thing for him Ready wasn't home, but on the other hand he mightn't have had nerve enough to act like that before a grown man.

The matter was brought up on a communication from the Wisconsin conference and after specia lcomnittee had reported tha, it should be tabled, the conference took the matter up and voted to en- dorse the project.

MAN WORKING AS STRIKEBREAKER UP
 TO HIGH COURTS
Hartford Shopman Accused of Tam pering With Locomotive to
 Blow It Up., .#

Hartford, Sept 8.-John Hanrahan an employe of the New Haven road at East Hartford, was bound over to the Superior Court under $500 bonds by the East Hartford town court last night on charges that he attempted to tamper with locomotive. Hanra- han was immediately accused of be- ing a shop striker and member of the union, but according to local be- lief he Is neither and could hardly be such as he was employed at the time the attempt on the locomotive was said to have been made and there fore working as strikebreaker in stead of being a striker.
 Hanrahan came here from Boston, 1t IS stated, some weeks ago and went to work in the East Hartford shops as a machinist. He was arrest ed on Friday night by state and rail- road policemen when an engine is with in such a way as might cause 1t to explode. Hanrahan takes his ar rest very coolly and for an hour or more before his trial was held last night stood about the court house nonchalantly smoking and chatting with friends. He insists he can prove his innocence, that although working he IS union man and in sympathy with the strike and that ther efore he would not only not jeopardize it by doing what he is charged with, but would be first to prevent any other from doing SO.
 The loss of his job with the New Haven road bothers him most, he said, but added that he already had an offer of employment by another road as soon as the case is settled. If found guilty the penalty is most severe, the charge, with another that is said to be under preparation coup ling up about 10 years in prison. In default of the bond Hanrahan is in the county jail His trial will prob ably come up in about two weeks.

RAPID TRANSIT ON
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Takes John Fly Smith 51z Hours Be
 tween New York and Elm City.

John Fly Smith, secretary of the New Haven local of Carpenters and vice-president of the Trades Council, her etofore did not believe the New Haven roads statements that it's train service was running on a normal schedule. Now he does, however, but by normal he now understands the road to mean the normalcy of back somewhere in 'oI, following his experience this week.
 MT. Smith had been in Philadelphia over the holiday and started on his eturn home on Tuesday,. He got to New York all right but getting on to New Haven from there was another story. It took him, or rather the New Haven road train he was un- fortunate enough to be on, just five and one-half hours to reach New Ha- ven MT. Smith was a delegate to the democratic city convention and de- sired to be present. When he got here the delegates to the convention were just about getting ready to get up Wednesday morning.

The Connecticut labor news., 1922-09-08

The railroad strike situation and the injunction were the principle matters of business at the opening session this morning Attorney Gen eral Daugherty and his action in assisting the railroads in their efforts to disrupt the railroad labor organ izations were roundly denounced by every member present and the action to demand his impeachment was unanimous. While 1t IS true that the council expects but little assistance from the present Connecticut mem bers of Congress, who as published in The Labor News heretofore, have shown their antagonism toward the general public and especially the working class, nevertheless 1t was de cided that they should be strongly informed of the feeling of Connectf- cut Organized Labor and demanded to carry out the provisions of the Constitution.
 The farcica1 attempts of the leaders of the Big Four, especially Warren s. Stone, in their dealings with the strike" were also discussed at length and the opinion expressed that they dealt unfair with their men inasmuch
  those conferences, that the shop mems strike was no concern of the big brotherhoods," showed clearly the attitude of those leaders.
 The political program to be fol- lowed out by Labor in Connecticut this year was promptly reaffirmed. 1t provides aside from the election of friends and defeat of enemies for the following program to be supported at the polls and in the next General Assembly,:
 Amend the Workmen's Compen- sation Act increasing the weekly compensation from 5o@o to 66 2-3o, in time of injury, and substitution of State Insurance in place of private in Surance.
 2 "Eight-hour day for women and children in manufacturing and mer- cantile establishments.
 Election of judges by the people
 Minimum wage for women in in- dustry.
 Modification of the Volstead Act providing for the legal sale of beer and wine.
 Repeal of the Cummings-Esch railroad law.
 Repeal of the boycott and intimi- dation act, (Chapter No. 6358.
 Defeat of any proposal to incor- porate Labor unions

Strikers Here
 To Ignore Bar,
 m Injunction
Ready Served With Re- straining Order But Meetings and Orderly Conduct of Strike Will Continue Jus t the Same.

OerV1ce or the reStfdlnlng or
 der secured by Attorney General
 Daugherty last Friday in Chicago
 against the striking railroad shop
 men was made upon John C.
 Ready of New Haven, chairman
 of the Federated System on the
 New Haven road, late last night,
 but so far as the service interfer-
 ing with the present orderly con
 duct of the strike on the New
 Haven road. there will be nothing
 to it. Although nearly a week
 had passed before the service was
 made on MT. Ready at his home
 late yesterday the shopmen con-
 tinued to hold mass and division meetings, continued the picket ing and other strike moves and will continue to do so, despite the injunction papers served on the chairman. In fact the attitude is one of absolutely ignoring the in- junction.
 Almost simultaneous with the serv- ice of the injunction, MT Ready re- ceived telegram from the grand lodge of the strikers, calling a con ference of strike leaders at Chicago on Monday, wbicE,t according to un- othclal information, may result in the strike. MT. Ready nor any other leader on the New Haven system will not attend the conference, but the New Haven mems interests will be cared for by the B. & M. chairmen with whom they have been acting in concert during the strike.
 According to John J. Wall of Gin cinnati, member of the national pol icy committee, which will meet Mon day, the meeting will be to discuss means and terms of general settle ment. The railroad deny any knowl- edge of the meeting or its purpose but the strike leaders are going ahead and evidently on some agreed upon policy between them and the heads of the railroads committee. The telegrams for the meeting were sent out by B. M. Jewell, head of the Railway Department of the A. F. of L., and in response to them hundreds ot strike leaders rushed to Chicaog where preliminary meetings were oloA lON tONdy
 The writ restrains Ready from do- ing any talking about the strike to the strikers or anyone else so therefore he says he is saying nothing, but is doing lot of thinking. It is possible that he will soon be so worried about the injunction that he will begin to do his thinking out loud The only other official likely to be served here abouts IS Robert Henderson of Ros- llndale, Mass, secretary of the Fed eration
 After conference between MT. Daugherty and Senator Borah, yester- day, at Washington, it was reiterated by government officials that no effort would be made to retain in the Chica- go permanent injunction, when and if granted, the provisions which have been interpreted as tending to inter fere with free speech" How far government representatives would go order was not stated.
 But those in close touch with the were sanguine in a prediction that it would be "very rad cally modified" This( it was stated. would occur on the governments own motion before the court on Mon lay. The attorney general and his advisers were said to have come to he conclusion that the temporary order went unnecessarily far in it's re- 'trlctions.
