 LEAGUE ENDORSES
 BEERS AND WINES
Want Malt Beverage Not Less Than AZ Per Cent. Per
 rnitted.

Meriden, March 3-Selectman James E. Sharkcy was chairman and Frederick L. Neebe secretary of the meeting of the Meriden Personal Liberty League, which was held in Saengerbund hall Saturday evening" The meeting was called for the pur- pose of discussing a resolution con- corning the soldier bonus, and, after a short discussion, the following resolu- ton was unanimously adopted:
 "Whereas, the soldier bonus bill now claiming the attention of con- gross has met with much opposition from those who would be taxed un- der the various propositions made, and the Personal Liberty leagues be- lieve that instead of adding more tax es to an already overburdened public, tax, which is not Questionable should be imposed for the purpose of financing the bonus, therefore, be it
 Resolved, that the Volstead act be amended so that beer containing not less than AZ per cent. of alcohol be allowed, as we'll as light wines, and that a nominal tax be levied on such beer and wine for the purpose of pay ing the soldier bonus"
 It was voted that the secretary be instructed to send copies of the reso- lution to President Harding, Chair man Joseph w. Fordney, of the house ways and means committee, and to the Connecticut senators and congressman.

 Early Days.

Danbury, March 3.-Danbury car
 penters, Local o27, celebrated ,-s goth
 anniversary on Tuesday night of this
 week with smoker that will long be
 remembered by the I25 members and
 guests present. It was held in Eagles
 Hall and local President Edward
 Durgy presided at the banquet which
 was a feature of the evening" After a brief business session the lodge put dull care aside and for sev- eral hours listened to the rehearsal
 of old times and the struggles of the early unionists to perfect the organ 1 ization, which "reminiscences were in- terspersed with songs, vaudeville
 sketches and the like in the enter tainment line that when 1t was all over made those in attendance ask where the evening had gone to- Among the speakers was William J Sullivan of New Haven, general rep resentative of the carpenters in this district. Mr. Sullivan reviewed the condition of the trade in and about Connecticut and counseled the mem bers to stick close together this spring against further attacks and they and their organization would be safe.
 The local organization Is i'll fine condition financially and i'll matter Ot organization. This was, a matter oi much qualification to many of the old members who saw the struggle to get 1t started 20 years ago.

All Serene Again
 inN. N.H.Postomce
Birely Gets Sudden Appointment and Peace Reigns in Mail
 Family.

Speedy work on the part of Con- gressman J. Q. Tilson and Col l. M Ullman last week led to the appoint ment of Charles w. Birely, republi- can town chairman, to the postmast- ersl1ip of New Haven last Saturday. The appointment just now Is tempor- ary but will undoubtedly be made permanent as there is no doubt about MT .Birely's ability to pass the ex- animation. Therefore things are run ming serene at the postof1ce again. in fact even more than serene, MT. Troup, the former postmaster, intro ducing MT. Birely in glowing words of personal tribute, MT. Birely re spending and then the entire office force joining in the jubilee. Mir. Troup was later presented with an auto by the clerks to which Birely added a lap robe, the carriers have more presentations in view and alto gethef "a good time was had by all"
 There isn't a doubt about Birely making good postmaster. He is an able lawyer and businessman, a real good fellow personally and the ap- pointment, having to be a political one anyhow, will satisfy the p@h1ic generally except perhaps the fri ids of Assistant Postmaster Futile who wished him to get the job.

REV. J. A. M'GEE
 CHOSEN ARBITRATOR
 ON BAKERS WAGES
Calvary Baptist Pastor to Decide $5 Cut Demanded By
 Bosses

The question of a reduction i'll the wages of New Haven journeymen bakers, which reduction the master bakers set at an average of $ a week, will go to arbitration and the Rev. James McGee, pastor of Calvary Bap- tist church, has been chosen as the umpire to act with a committee of two from the master bakers and employees. The agreement to arbltrate was reached early in the week and on Tuesday L. L. Gilbert and Adolph Koepling, representing the master bakers, and George Woodtke and Louis Tentzer, representing the work CTS, met and after short discussion agreed upon the clergyman as the fifth man. In accordance with the agree ment, both sides will now present it's arguments before the joint board and it Is expected that 1t will finally be left to MT. McGee to decide as both master and employed bakers >osist on their views being carried out
 New Haven, Bridgeport and Water bury are being made the brunt of the bakers wage cutting campaign just now apparently and in each of these cities radical slash is proposed by the employers. As they are appar- entity working in concert on the plan, the state bakers executive board will meet in Hartford tomorrow night to make plans for a statewide campaign to resist the drive against their wages. The cuts are scheduled for April and are not warranted, the bakers claim

TILSON ADMITS THERE IS NO
 HOPE OF PRESENT CONGRESS
 AMENDING VOLSTEAD DRY ACT
Tells New Haven Trades Council Prohibition ists Still Control Ac- ton of Federal Body and Chances A r e Therefore Slim.

There IS not even remote chance of the present Congress doing any thing along the lines of amending the Volstead act to allow light wines and beers. That has been sort of under stood but it's apparently made a fact now and the authority is no less than Congressman John o. Tilson of the New Haven District. In a letter to the New Haven Trades Council read at the meeting last night in reply to a communication sent the Congressman urging him to support such an amend ment and provide means of paying the soldiers bonus, and expressing the Trades Councils opinion favoring such an amendment anyhow, MT. Til son said:
 There is little difference in our opinion on the operation of the Vol stead act. The chances of amending it, however, are very remote inas- much as the same forces that put it through are still strong here and would control any legislation on the subject at the present time" Letters were also received from Senators Brandegee and Mclean the former as usual simply saying that he would give the matter his consideration if 1t Cd1lc lO Ill1u OCl1dlOI MCLCdLl, uOW- ever, declared himself in sympathy with the bonus proposal adding that his sympathy is with the soldiers and he is opposed to their going through life with just cause of complaint that their country did not use them right.
 Despite Tilson's view that the pres ent Congress will not do anything on the Volstead act, the Trades Council didn't let up in it's demands but ordered another communication sent the congressman and senators asking them to support the amendment pro- posed by Representative Hill of Maryland. This bill would permit the setting off of Federal districts in which local option votes would be taken and those sections that want their beers and wines permitted to have them within their borders. By this law those who want beer and wine could have them and those who do not, need not and everyone should be satisfied and meanwhile the rev. enues of the country considerably in creased

Prison Labor Is
 Scored By A. F. off

Washington, March 3.-Legislation striking at the contract system of prison labor was introduced in the Houss ~cently by Representative Nola' ~p., Cal) in behalf of the American Federation of Labor and the national committee on prisons and prison labor.
 Both rganizations," a statement issued says, 'are opposed to the con tract convict labor system as a relic of slavery and as an institution pro- ducing inferior goods in unfair com petition with free labor and free in dustry.
 Under the provisions of the bill any state will be enabled to reject from it's market goods manufactured in prisons under conditions which are lawful in that state At present, no state has any means of protecting it's industries from the effects of whole sale dumping of prison goods pro- duced cheaply in other states as a re- suit of the exploitation of prison la Dor. Exemptions in favor of goods disposed of for use by the federal or state government are contained in the bill"

Push City Hall For
 Comfort Station
A1dermanic Committee Again Gets Busy on Long Wanted I'm
 prOVement.

More action on New Haven's pro- posed comfort station was taken last night when the aldermanic committee on sanitation held a public hearing on the project Two propositions were before it, one by Adolph Perl roth, owner of the Arcade building on Church street, offering to maintain the station in the cellars providing the city would exempt the property from taxation. The other was that the city locate the station in the City Hall annex and this had the greatest number of supporters.
 MT. Perlroth's proposal would take from the city perpetually $5,ooo a year and several present could not see why the city should pay this sum when it has an available site of its own that would entail no expense for extra heat or light and little for care. Lewis M. Welch, representing the Chamber of Commerce, and several members of the Trades Council which first started the project favored the City Hall site. It is likely the com mittee will report favorably on it at the next meeting.

Hartford, March 3.-The Hartford

It is stated that former Assessor to be one of the democratic candi- dates for the nomination for this office again, is being urged by his friends to seek the nomination on the labor party ticket, unless his name is one of the two approved by the demo- cratic city convention this month.

' Tn the opinion of labor the present political and economic situation makes imperative the most energetic political action. No draft of a pro- gram of political necessities will be made prior to the meeting of the campaign committee, but 1t is certain that emphasis will be placed on cer- tain outstanding issues which cannot be evaded by anyone. Among these will doubtless be:
 T. Unemployment. There has been no decrease in unemployment. The figures of those most interested in making a showing of improvement fail to show that the burden of sui fering has been lifted in any degree from the shoulders of the workers.
 ''2. Relief Program. No steps have been taken to use the legislative ma chlnery of the government to bring relief to the nation by starting the wheels of industry on constructive projects. Labor has laid down an ex- haustive program for unemployment cure which will add to the wealth of the country in permanent manner and which will afford employment to millions of now idle workers. The single measure designed to be help ful in regulating employment so as to help remove the peaks of depres- sion, known as the Kenyon bill, was forced off the floor of Congress by means of amendments which made it necessary that the bill be withdrawn entirely.
 B. Navy Yards. Ten thousand navy yard workers have been thrown out of work in heartless and unneces- Sary manner on an assumption that certain contingencies would develop, with no effort to make the readjusts ment gradual and with a careless dis regard on the part of the government of the moral obligation which rests upon 1t and which no honorable en- ployer would seek to disregard.
 A. Injunctions. This is one of the gravest of all issues. It lies within the power of government to so order it's own machinery as to curb the ruthless conduct of the courts. Elec- tion of all judges IS one means of bringing home to judges the respon- sibility which they owe to the citizen ship Of the country and the fact that they cannot continue indefinitely in the service of special interests.
 5. Taxes. Economy is the watch word of most new administrations. It IS useless as watchword when 1g- nOred III practice, or when the prac- tice results in removing the burdens from the rich and predatory and placing them on the shoulders of the wage earners. We are in the midst of an amazing kind of muddling with tax and tariff questions where little regard is had for the interests of the great masses of our people.
 '6 Anti-Union Crusade. The or ganlzed labor movement is today the most powerful and the most alert de fender of democratic institutions Un- scrupulous and minimizing employers are seeking with all their power to destroy this movement. The fight of the great interests has been encour- aged by many who hold office by popular vote. There have been indi- cations of government policy to aid in this destructive crusade which can not and will not be overlooked in coming elections. American govern

NASH, OF GOLDEN RULE FAME, CALLED
 A "FOUR-FLUSHER''
Never Fair to Organized Labor De spite His Brotherhood of
 Man.

Cincinnati, March 3.-The Nash Clothing Manufacturing Company in this city has secured valuable adver- tising without cost through it's ex- plaitation of the Golden Rule, which 1t claims to apply in its factory. The managers attitude toward the five local unions of garment workers IS shown by statement issued by these workers to the general organized la bor movement, in which 1t Is declared
 This firm is not unionized and does not use the union label of the United Garment Workers of America and has never been considered as be- ing fair to organized labor or en- dorsed by the movement Ill this city.
 New York, March 3.-The Garment Worker, official magazine of the United Textile Workers of America, makes this comment on the A. Nash company, which professes to oper- ate it's cloak factory in Cincinnati on the Golden Rule basis:
 MT. Nash is a four r-fusher. He operates a piece-work system. The recent statement published of em- ployes working 40 hours per week and an increase i'll wages of 10 per cent. Is all camouf1age. Last July he reduced all his employees 20 per cent. then he went south and made speeches that his employees volun- tarily accepted 6 reduction. He also stated that his employees took a 3o- days layoff in order to give the un- employed work"

read and accepted.
From Lloyd \. Henry. civilian re-
Mobilization agent, was received the
report of the work of his department
for the year ending June 80, 1922.
This showed that 144 applications for
training had been received during the
year, 103 had been placed in training,
81 cases had been surveyed and were
pending action. II had finished training
and had been placed in employment,
financial aid had been obtained for
eight, and medical aid obtained for four.
He reported that S15,213 in federal
and state funds had been allotted to
the work for the year, of which only
S7,6O5.S7 had been expended, while
he had received $2,935 from private
and industrial sources.
Upon the request of Mr.. Henry and
upon recommendation of Miss Trumper
and other members of the committee
on this work, Henry was allowed to
employ a woman assistant who would
look after applications of females and
the ~stenographic work at a salary to
not exceed $1,000, while Henry was
granted a raise in salary from S2,4OO
to $3.50.
Upon the recommendation of K. B.
Norris, dean of engineering at the state
college, and the approval of President
Alfred Atkinson, the board ordered that
the new engineering building at BoZe-
man be named after William Milne
Roberts, an American civil engineer
of international reputation who, while
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific
railway in 1869 and 1870, explored and
located the route of the Northern Pa
cific across Montana and to the Puget
sound.
Fear Money Crisis
This action caused Governor Dixon
to suggest that it would be fitting to
name the forestry building at the uni
versity at MiSSoula, PinchOt hall, IN
honor of Clifford Pinchot. who created
the United States forestry service I'M
der RooSevelt's administration and who,
in the words of the governor, save
the west from itself"
President C. H. Clapp of the uni
versity agreed that this would be very
fitting and that he would take it up
with the faculty.
President Clapp presented a com
munication calling attention 10 the
heavy loss of revenue to the University
of Montana brought about by the low
| ering of the county TAX valuations by
which the work of the university would
be greatly handicapped in the face of
increasing attendance.
In view of the fact that but one APP
| plicant for the CHARACTERISTIC, DR.. +.

has appeared before the board, it was
decided that the qualifications of sew
eral other applicants should be looked
into by the Helena members of the
board to be later submitted TO the full

when necessary.
