The object of the association is to bring together all interested union ists. and that large number of per sons generally who are liberal in their views toward labor, its rights and policies to discuss in common the many and varied problems that con front the workman and women of to- day, with particular reference to legal, legislative and economic matters as they affect labor ,and giving of their full moral support to further it's ad- vancement.
 The work of the organization will be cooperative only; it is not intend ed that 1t shall at any time interfere with or usurp the functions of the unions. It will only act upon invi- tation, and then on such matters only as will be of aid or assistance to the ioca Tor individual involved or the welfare of labor generally.
 To students of the labor move ment in Connecticut, it is quite ap- parent that for many years 8 com certed attack has been made upon la bor by the predatory interests and the enemies of labor, by legislative and legal actions The attacks made were at times bitterly contested but not al- ways successfully, due in great meas ure by failure to enlist friends in the fight or to meet the opposition with a concerted front and we'll laid plans. Such work it is proposed to under take,s co-operatively, m behalf of la bor
 As to legislation, there is much that concerns labor. New laws would be agitated for, laws that will give to all albor and peoples equal riyhts, be they economic, lebal or political. Some laws which specifically affect labor should be amended or entirely re- pealed to guarantee privileges as cit izens as guaranteed by the Constitu- ton. The antiquated laws pertaining to the selection of jurors should re- ceive keen attention, says the organ ization.
 The committee is still in the forma- tive period. In the meantime temper ary officers have been selected in |, M. Ornburn, secretary of the State Federation of Labor and president of the New Haven Trades Council, as chairman, and John C. Ready, presi- dent of System Federation No. r, and secretary-treasurer of District 43, In- ternational Association of Machinists, as secretary.
 The number of persons is not to be limited in any manner, the one re- quirement being but to co-operate and be interested in the work There are no dues or fees to be paid. The com mittee IS a voluntary one.

Further efforts by U 5 Labor De- partment conciliators, aided by rep resentatives of the New Haven Cigar Makers Union, to settle the strike at the B.

"For more than twenty years,

''Day-by-Day" Doctor
Prompted on Duty
at MT. Vernon

Members of the Coue party
who accompanied the French
"day-by-day" doctor on his
visit to Mt. Vernon yesterday
are today chuckling over an
incident which, fortunately,
was not understood by the ex-
ponent of autosuggestion and
did not embarrass him.
As the party neared the
tomb of Americas first Presi-
dent they were met by a faith
full negro, Charles, whose sole
duty is to see proper reverence
is accorded by visitors.
Assuming dignified atti-
tude, one Of the local men,
bers Of the parties said:
Charles, l wish you to meet
Monsieur Coue of France"
t'Yas, suh," returned Charles
hurriedly. Then, closely scru-
tinizing all the members Of the
party, he continued:

This is the same "Charles"
who, while King Albert of the
Belgians stood at the Mt. Yer

went up to him and promptly
nudged him in the ribs, saying:

The ''housecleaning" In the Vet.
Grams Bureau which has been start
ed by Director Forbes is not yet
complete and more changes may be
forthcoming shortly in the interest
Of efficiency, it was stated at the
bureau today.
The shake.up in the bureau start
ed with the transfer Of DR.. 7.
Hugh Scott, executive officer and

were either transferred or denoted.
Col. Forbes asserted that If the
demotion or dismissal of any Off
cial Of the bureau would appear to
be for the ''best interests Of the
service men," he would not hesitate
in making the changes.
"A situation has developed" he
said, which have to deal with in
a manner that will be for the best
interests of the service men. For
some time I have had an idea that
things were not what they should
have been, but I withheld any ac-
ton pending personal investigation,
which took some time:

BES|EGED
AS HE QUITS
CITY.
''Day-by-Day" Healer Leaves
for Cleveland Made Many
Converts Here.

Leaving in his wake, hundreds of
new day by day. converts, Emile
Coue, the little chemist of Nancy"
left Washington last night and is
today scheduled to lecture in Cleve-
land.
Even up to the time he went to
the Union Station at 1880 o'clock
last evening. Coue was besieged
by. relatives Of invalids and Grip
pies who besought his personal aid
in relieving suffering ones. To
each the day by day doctor
answered that he could do nothing
but that the sufferers could cure
themselves by repeating the now
famous day by day" chant.
Mrs. Mansfield, wife of the Grip
pied Congressman from Texas, tried
yainly to have Coue see her hus-
band at the final lecture at the
Willard yesterday. Though his
wife endeavored for more than an
day" doctor visit her husband and
in his wheel chair to the lecture,
her efforts were unavailing.
However, the unfortunate Con-
gresham was only one of many
whose confidence In the ability of
the Frenchman could not be proved
by the personal touch of Coue.
Those who unsuccessfuIly sought
to obtain interviews and help were
legion.
AS q consequence, when Coue
left last night he left without hav-
ing personally directed the cure of
any but Phil" Larner Gore, 1746
p street northwest, whom he re-
lieved Of defective speech during
his Wednesday night lecture. Never
theless, those who listened to his
lectures have reaffirmed their faith
N the supremacy of the unconscious
mind over the conscious if properly
directed.

In her new story the girl said
she fought Smith when he made
an improper proposal to her and
attempted to cut him with butcher

in answer to her screams and she
fled from the house. She heard a
shot, she said, a moment later.
