In the report Connecticut and its manufacturers and employers have certainly nothing to be proud of. Waterbury, where the great brass in dustry of the country centers, and Waterbury's employers have certain ly lots to be ashamed of for the fed eral report shows that:
 "The largest jump was at Water bury, Conn, where 2I7, or almost eight times as many children, received permission to work as during the first six months of Io2e.
 Other Connecticut cities reported increases of from o8 to I78 per cent. Tn Manchester, Milwaukee and Louis vile from four to five times as many certificates were issued as during the corresponding months year ago.
 Other cities reporting large gains were Springfield, Mass, 2I5 per cent i; Pittsburgh, I27 per cent; San Fran cisco, 85 per cent; Indianapolis, 75 per cent; Birminaham, 43 per cent 1; Baltimore, 56 per cent; and Phila- delphia, 75 per cent New York city, with IS,oo2 permits, showed an in crease of I7.4 per cent.
 These children are, all between the ages of IA and I6 and many of them have hardly been taught to read and write. Organized Labor tried to pro- feet them and did but the austere Supreme Court led by Chief Justice and Former President Taft, now a legal resident of Connecticut, said May" Nay it is and faye" it ap- pears to be from the manufacturers : every time a kiddie drops around to the employees gote and asks for a job.
 Connecticut's showing in the fed eral report IS not a shame. It's a crime and an outrage and it's up to Connecticut workingmen to stop it right now.

FRESHMEN STRIKE
 AND CRIPPLE EVERY BIG NEW YORK PAPER
Sudden Wa1kout Monday Night Leaves City and Much of East
 Without Daily News Grist.

A strike that, while so far unauth- orized, has created as much comment as did the threatened and past coal strikes, took place this week when all the great daily papers of New York City were completely crippled when their pressmen suddenly quit work Monday night Not a newspaper was able to publish the following morn ing and although efforts were made to publish a Combined paper," with the morning and evening editions col laborating, it practically failed as enough experienced pressmen could not be secured to man the giant presses.
 About 2,ooo men are involved in the strike and more than 6,ooo 900 read CTS of the daily papers have been without the news of the world for several days because the 2,ooo went out. As result the whole world IS looking on with interest to the out come, for although the strike has been dclared illegal by George L. Berry, head of the Pressmen's Union, the publishers have been unable to se- cure skilled men and their plants are practically shut down Efforts were made during the week to secure pressmen all over Connecticut and New Jersey to take the places of the strikers, assurances being given that their union cards and rights would be protected and wages of SIP to SIS a day of six hours offered It didn't work because the pressmen knew that when the strike is settled the old men would be taken back and they would be looking for jobs again.
 The strike is the outgrowth of a controversy lasting nearly two years starting when the pressmen submit ted to the arbitration of their de- mands by Judge E. B. Manton, for merly of the Federal benck who the

Service.
 New York, Sept. 22-To Moo dy's Weekly Review of Financial Conditions should go the first prize, for the most vicious false hood circulated as propaganda, against the anthracite coal miners. Says Moody's:
 "In the coal strike the real con f1ict of interests Is between the miners and the public; for the former are already receiving ex- ceptionally high pay for the type of work, while the public is pay ing the bill. Labor in the coal mining regions rides not in Fords and Chevro1ets, but in Bucks, Studebakers and even Cadillacs"
 Despite the preposterous nature of the foregoing assertion, many newspapers have been Swallowing it whole" and gravefy quoting from 1t in their financial columns as if there was not the slightest doubt
 Apparently the supposedly in telligent men who edit the news papers have failed to see the ab- surdity of asserting that the miners are riding in motor cars which cost more than miner earns in a year or else they believe news paper readers are too stupid to see the utter foolishness of the statement

CONVENTIONS DELAY BIG MEETING HERE
 OF METAL TRADES
International Gatherings Take Lead CTS Out of State, Causing
 Postponement.

Because many of the leading mem bers of the metal trades unions afili- ated with the Connecticut Federation of Labor are absent from the state attending the Molders and other met al trades international conventions, the mass meeting scheduled for the metal trades to discuss the labor bank, map out political program and plan an organization campaign has been unavoidably delayed. The meeting was originally scheduled for Sept Is but the conventions inter ferred with that date so 1t was scheduled for this coming Sunday, Sept. B.
 Many of the delegates have not yet returned from the meetings, some of which were held in the far west so 1t has been compulsory to again put back the meeting. It is expected that the metal trades leaders will have all returned next week, however, and then a date will be fixed, for the fol- lowing Sunday if possible and the gathering held.
 The program adopted by the C. F. of L. executive board of making a statewide tour of the Central bodies, right after October I, will be follow ed out Details of the proposed bank are developing fairly well and 1t is expected that next month will see definite action towards it's establish ment.
