STATE INDUSTRIES ARE ENJOYING
 PROSPERITY

Connecticut industries are in excel lent condition and some of them do- ing more than normal business more increases in wages are on the way and a solid wave of prosperity Is Whirling about the state, accordinp 2 to the pleasing report of the state de- partment of labor that has just been filed with the governor.
 There is employment for any per son in Connecticut who wants work. Because of a shortage of unskilled la
 bOr in the state theFe Is a demand for modification of thes present immigra-
 tiOn law.
 A decrease in t1fe enployment of child labor Is likewlse reported. This labor report Is always heralded as sort of prospectus of what the working man may expect in Connec- ucut tor the remainder of the year ard Ill this instance is exceptionally optimistic.
 The great problem of housing in Connecticut, according to the re- port, Is taking care of the poorer working classes. It is urged that it be taken up before the furnishing of playgl ounds and recreation centers.
 "Crowdina families in such close relations that modesty and even de ccncy are difficult IS not the way to make upright moral citizens," says the report, and continues:
 While reformerst are busy with abstract questions and wearing out their energies in bettering people who are fairly well off at present, there are queer types Of p9ople growing up m the Connecticut Gties.
 Not only these. r54ral morons, but clean minded simpre people are go- ing home from their work to dwell ings which are disgraces to up-to- date cities"
 Connecticut employers now depend upon torelgn-born men and women for about 50 per cent. of their work CTS Tn the industries and daily the scarcity of these laborers is growing. The employer IS wondering where he IS going to obtain men to do the work. Many of the factories are working in shifts to fill their orders. l
 The housing condition of the negro Is called reproach to the community which ''compels him to abide in ccr- tain localities and in certain kinds of houses" While the condition of many negroes in the State Is report ed as good, the report says that many ot them live in unsanitary surround ngS. Many of the race are said to De victims of rent prOhteering.

JUSTA SAMPLE,
 BUT A YOUTHFUL

Members of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers, at the annual convention held in the Waldorf Hotel, New York, last week, approvlngly smiled as a barrage of pretty words, eulOgizing the organization, was de- lvered by the president, John l.. Edgerton.
 President Edgerton commended the members in particular for defeating the railroad shopmen in their strike last summer and for your stand against organized labor"
 Edgerton declared that "the palatial temples of labor, whose golden dOmes rise in exultant splendor throughout the nation because of the millions of dollars extracted annually by the jewelled hands of greed from pockets of wage earners and paid out in sal aries to ravenous band of pretend CTS, tell the pitiful story of slavery such as this nation never knew be- fore" The declaration represented quite an oral mouthful and all the shop moguls joined in the ovation that followed.
 Were the situation less serious, this effusion on the part of President Edg- arton would be ludicrous. It has its value, however, in evidencing how far from the truth Big Business will de- part in an effort to gain it ends.

Chief Inspector Denies Claim
 Made By President Pearson
.STRlKEBREAKERS
 QUITTING JOBS IN
 < RAILROAD SHOP

l Last Sunday at Machinists' hall, 90 iIemple street, meeting of the rep resentatives in charge of the strike of the shop craftsmen at various points throughout the state of Con- necticut was held and the entire sit uation gone into thoroughly from the time the strike started until the pres ent time.
 One very interesting fact disclosed at the meeting was that for the period of one month there were only three assertions from the ranks of the strikers on the entire system, despite the frequent claims made by officials of the New Haven to the contrary In fact 1t was reported that the nor ale of the men was never better than 1t is at the present time and an early settlement of the strike is confidently expected bM the strikers.
 Discussing conditions in the local field 1t was stated by the strike lead CTS that conditions are. gradually go- ing from bad to worse and they quoted some of the shop bosses as having declared that the men are now quitting in droves.
 It was pointed out also that last week several welders conceded to be the hardest men to replace left their employment in the Cedar Hill shops because of the intolerable conditions existing there at the present time. There are now practically no boiler men at the shops, floor hands have been elevated to boiler makers and mac hine hands, and conditions in gen eral 'are worse than at any other per iod of the strike. It was admitted by leaders of the strike that the New Haven was able to muster up some fairly good machine hands during the early days of the strike but as con ditions improved in the industrial field these men have quit the rail road.
 Senator Joseph Tone in discussing the situation said that things never looked better than they do at present. |

ALL BUT THREE
 BAKE SHOPS SIGN

Only three of the local baking con- cerns have refused to ratify the new
 agreement of the Bakery and Con- 1 fectionery Workers Union which
 went into effect here on May 1st. These three are the Peoples Baking Company, located on Grand avenue near East street; the Root Catering Company with store located at four or five places in the center of the
 city, and the s. s. Thompson Com pany, which, rumor says, is now own ed by the General Baking Company
 which operates string of bakeries in
 this section of the country.
 At the regular meeting of the New
 Haven Trades Council, held at Trades
 Council hall Thursday evening, communication from the secretary of
 the local bakers was read in which ton of all local unions affiliated with the Connecticut Federation of Labor in the fight against the products of the Ward Baking Company who have, since the first of May, been operating all their plants located in several cities throughout the country under open shop conditions.
 Members of the Bakers Union throughout the state have entered in to a very energetic campaign, having for it's object a reduction of the en- ormous profits made by the Ward | company last year when the plants l were operated under union conditions. | The feeling against the Ward com ] pany is especially bitter not alone for l the failure to renew the agreement | with the international union, but even | more so for the part 1t has played in | trying to induce others to join in an open shop agreement
 In fact George s. Ward has been | accused of making the statement that the reason why the open shop move ment failed when attempted two years ago. was because 1t had not been handled in the right way so he has assumed the leadership in another drive and intends to show just how 1t can be put across.

Charity Board Is Broke" Caring for
 Labor Surplus

Charities is bankrupt trying to care for the surplus labor that has flooded this city during the past several months. The surplus of building craftsmen is most pronounced. Many of the unem- ployed arrived penniless and have been used by cheap-wage employers to lower wage rates and working conditions. On two large building projects partly skilled carpenters are being used and the TO- hour day prevails. Other building con- tractors are attempting to install the nine and 10-hour day

Head of Aliens Court
 Echoes Railroads Plea

Topeka Kan, May Ex-Governor Davis asked the "can't strike" court to inquire into the lockout of railroad shop men, and Judge McDermott head of the court, handed in a report that sounds like a railroad managers speech.
 The judge was less interested in providing service for the public than pleading for the railroads. He assured the governor that If shop men who on strike wish to go back to work, they will have to go back as new men,"
 This song of the railroad managers has affected the judge, who is using his office to @square" the anti-union policy of railroads in this state.

WILLIMAETIC' CARPENTERS ENJOY
 BANQUET AND GET-TOCETHER
Prominent Speakers Point Out Fail ure of Legislature to Enact Con- structive Legislation-Many Con- tractors and Builders Present.

Monday night last was a gala night
 in the history of Local Union, No 825, United Brotherhood of Carpen-
 ters ond Joiners, of Willimantic, the
 occasion being a banquet and get-to-
 gether at Labor Hall. The affair was
 unanimously conceded to be an un-
 qualified success as shown from the
 story published in the Willimantic
 Daily Chronicle which follows:
 Just one word and that is Rotten describes the Connecticut legislature" " said Ira M. Ornburn of New Haven, state secretary of the American Fed cration of Labor in addressing the banquet and gct-together meeting of
 Local Union 825, U. B. of C. and J. of A. at Labor Union Hall Monday night. Continuing his talk, MT. Orn- burn, the principal speaker of the evening, declared the legislature was the most unfair and unreasonable ever assembled in Hartford, there being nothing to compare with 1t in his 'eX
 perience and he had spent some time at the capitol. Working men, he con- tinued, must forget party affiliations and support men who are favorable to the people and not the higher in lNINSt 1ICctl III SS OOlIINl lIIIS all amendment to the constitution pro- viding for the election of judges by the people were described. The lob by said that this should not be done as it would throw the offices into poli- tics and that was not desired. Re gently, however, two judges one e years old, were named for the super for court bench. The latter will be retired in three years when his term expires at the expense of the people. ] He is the man who said that Coolie la bor should be imported into the state under contract and when 1t expired returned and others brought here MT. Ornburn advised his hearers to get into the political situation and learn how to vote for so long as in difference was shown all effort put into industry went for naught.

Our observations Tn the erecting shop disclosed several instances where in- terlOr work was being performed and where work, which should have been performed, had been wilfully neglected. Of four engines which were on their wheels on the finishing track and were being painted, the main air reservoirs, two on each locomotive, had not been hammer tested, as evidenced by the ab- sence of hammer marks and by the ac- emulation of grease and dirt on pipe fittings, supporting bolts and bands. After these instances had been directed to the attention of officials in charge, 1t was found that an attempt had been made to hammer test two out of the eight reservoirs, but they had not been turned taken down, and only a small portion had been hammer tested. " We en- deavored to impress upon officials in charge and employees doing this work that injury and death has frequently re- suited from failure of main air reservoirs
 Inspection disclosed that 200 stay bolts in the boiler of locomotive 80o and numerous scattered staybolts in the boilers of locomotives 292. 827. 1915, which were on the finishing track had telltale holes
