 There are enough liberty and free dom loving men and women in our country who will not hesitate to meet whatever eventuality may arise by reason of this new Fascist in the form of the bankers and big business and railroad executives. 1 have some abiding faith in the people of our republic )and they are not ready to bend the knee to any such group as is trying to prevail upon the Presi- dent to make antagonism to labor the issued of this campaign"

 When the communication was read, fireworks were on tap, and some hot words passed between Chairman Orn- burn and John w. Murphy, who in troduced the resolution some few weeks ago. MT. Murphy stated that he was not surprised at the action of the committee, in fact 1t was just what he expected, which brought a sharp retort from the chair.
 Mr. Ornburn then made an ex- planation of the case and stated/ that he knew absolutely nothing about 1t, had seen no members of the commit tee on the matter since they were and ridiculed the idea that he in any way could be. accused of

having sufficient influence to dictate a letter from a person who was deemed sufficiently intelligent to act as chair
 man of an executive board in another organization.
 Brother Murphy hotly denied that
 he inferred that any questionable
 methods had been used by the chair
 man of the meeting, but stated that
 the reluctance shown by the chairman at the time the original measure was
 introduced served as the cue for the other members of the committee which remark brought Brother Smith
 to his feet. In a few words he de-
 clared in a very emphatic manner that
 he was perfectly capable of doing his
 own thinking and there was no one
 in the Trades Council or any other organization who could tell him how
 to act on any committee of which he
 happened to be member.
 When the routine matters had been
 disposed of, such as the reading of communications and bills, MT. Orn- burn introduced pr. Hitchcock of the
 Health Center, located on Grand ave- nue who was present as the guest of Mir. O'Meara and John Fly Smith, vice-president of the New Haven Trades Council. Dr. Hitchcock made very interesting address in which he called attention to the work being done in the section of the city where the Health Center is located and ex- ton. A detailed account of his ad- dress will be found in another column.
 An earnest appeal for the support of all union men was then made by Delegates Mclaughlin and Martin of the shop craftsmen, who pointed out that the strike was one of vital inter est to organized labor. Brother Mar tin thanked the Trades Council for all that had been done and at the same time urged the delegates to take up ! the matter with their own locals, leaving it entirely to their own iudg- ! ment as to whether they had done all l that was possible for them to do in ] the cause of the strikers.
 Some of the local unions had been very generous in the financial assist ance rendered, he said, while in some instances he felt that some of the To- calls did not do as well as they might nave, owing to some petty or fancied grievance they might have over the actions of one or two of the men now on strike.
 Speaking of the infringement on lie IlSIltS OI OlIoI un1OnS, ne dSkeQ | hat the delegates take the matter up with their own union and if they ound one or two cases where this night have happened, not to run the whole organization of the shop crafts nen down because of the action of a ew individuals, but to report any grievance and steps would be taken o correct 1t.
 The committee which had been ap- pointed to confer with the officials of he Musicians union in reference to ome of their members who seemed o be opposed to union conditions f n the printing industry, reported pro- , 5ress.

 In declining the employers request for a wage reduction, on the ground that there has been a reduction in the cost of living, the arbitrator said:

Advocates of this measure show that costs are very materially in creased by the excessive overtime re- quired of crews to operate long freight trains The railroad workers point out that when the Adamson eight-hour law was before congress the railroads charged that the workers wanted the law so it would increase their overtimeI Now the employees are asking for a law that will materially reduce overtime and the railroads change from their position on the AdamSOn law
