CARPENTERS IN NEW HAVEN GET
 WAGE INCREASE
All But One Small Contractor Grants
 --. ST Per Hour Rate.

With but one dissenting voice and that from a small contractor, the carpenters of New Haven this week won an increase in wages from 90 cents to $I an hour, bringing their scale up on par with other building tradesmen. The ne wagreement be- comes effective on Saturday, Septem- Der I, but will not actually operate until Tuesday ,the holidays interven- ing
 The Builders Exchange is not in cludedz as wasn't necessary as the members of the Builders Exchange have been paying ST an hour and more for many moons in order to get competent men to do the work the wood butchers" they employed when bucking the union could not do, The Builders Exchange consistently re- fuses to recognize the union but it's members are paying the price and more for their work.
 The carpenters have been working for 90 cents under tentative agree ment with the bosses that they would be increased to the dollar when times warranted it. They took a reduction to So cents after the war, then got a raise to 90 cents with the understand ing that the dollar rate would follow.
 Every other trade months ago raised it's rate to the dollar or more but the carpenters were left out with the 90 cent rate prevailing. The con tractors, naturally, showed no dis position to come to them so the car penters, early this month decided to go to the contractors They did and with but one exception noted, all agreed to the increase. The one out standing is small employer and amounts to little so far as the wage scale is concerned.

BROKER AGAINST STATE CONTROL OF
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
Former Director Sees No Reason Why Public Should Guaran-
 tee Its Debts.

"I recognize the importance of something being done to save the New England railroads, but I don't believe that as a general proposition 1 favor state control of the New Ha- ven or state guarantee of it's indebt- edness," says Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia, chairman of the American Brass corporation. MT. Brooker was formerly director of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company.
 MT Brooker favors the Storrow committee recommendation for con solidation of the New England rail- road systems rather than turning them over to trunk lines. Of the latter proposition he is quoted as saying: "It would sound the death knell of New England industrial su- premacy For New Englanders to give up he control of their railt roads is unthinkable."
 The state control plan suggested by the ,Storrow committee IS to vest the management of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company in board of trustees to be appointed to serve 10 years by sew eral states, two by Connecticut, two by Massachusetts, and one by Rhode Island, and that each of the three states extend aid by returning to the road such portion of the taxes paid by the New Haven as may be re- quired to meet any failure of net earn ings to cover fixed charges for that year.

Therefore Committee of Open Shoppers RecOm- mends That Subterfuge Be ResOrted to Showing How Well the Workers
 Nest Is "Lined."

shop; taxes are increased by the ,, closed shop, since 1t costs 40 per cent. more to erect school buildings under 1 closed than it does under open shop shop conditions (pure bunk); and higher prices for commodities are largely controlled by closed shop pro- duction methods.
 "It is the duty of American employ CTS continually to make known to the public the community advantages of the open shop; they should likewise as desirable places to work in, so that workers will refuse to longer rely on the spurious promises Of the closed shop.
 "A shop of this kind will find its adherents coming from the ranks of the unions in greater proportions than |they come from the ranks outside. Of the unions. (From the ranks IS right). No union will ever be able to catch up to this kind of shop, because it would be so far ahead of the unions in its conception of justice and it's operations of the square deal that the union would be incapable of advancing to the same point.
 Labor leaders, walking delegates, young restless workers, intelligent and discontented workers of all kinds, and natural organizers, vii not see the labor unions or other labor or ganizations eliminated from their shop control without the utmost at tempt to hold them in line and await a more favorable opportunity.
 "The statements made regarding the open shop from the manufactur- CTS side have emphasized the defic- iencies of the union development and absurdity of the union position on these matters, but have not sufficient 1y stressed the positive position that must be taken in order to mabe an open shop policy successful.
 Most of the workers know little or nothing of the manufacturers plans, or politics, or desires. Most Of them are suspicious, (with reason) of the manufacturers motives, and a very large number of them regard the union as their means of protection from the manufacturer.
 Under these circumstances the ob- lection of the manufacturer to the co1sed shop and his stated preference for the open shop without any deh- milton of what he means, or any pro- gram of action which has positive suggestion of improvement, IS likely to increase the suspicion and the dis agreement without offering any possi- bi1ities of permanent solution
 "It would be very much better II there was less talk about the open shop and more careful study of its necessities and possibilities. Do 1t

CIGAIlMAKERS CONVENTION CUTS WEEKLY DUES BY REINSURING OF
 MEMBERS IN PRIVATE COMPANY
Many Other Important Changes Made in Consti- tuition at Meeting in Chicago-Plan Inten- sive Campaign to Organize
 Entire Industry

Changes of the utmost importance to the members of the cigarmaking craft, were made i'll the constitution of the Cigarmakers' International Union at the convention held in Chi cago for the past two weeks and which will now, under the same con stitution go before the members for approval by referendum vote The convention was attended by Philip Montis, delegate from New Haven, and by Ira M lOrnburn of New Ha- ven, second vice-president of the In- ternational Union and they returned l to Connecticut this week
 Perhaps the most important change to the individual membership was in turning the insurance carried on union members over to a private in surance company instead of running 1t as separate department within the union. By so doing the convention was able to cut the weekly dues from Go to 40 cents and fix the dues on shippers, new members of the Inter national, at 20 cents per week.
 The international has always paid death benefits to it's members ranging as high as $55o to a member 20 years i'll service down to $Ioo to new mem bers. The same minimum will pre- vail and every member of the union be automatically taken over by the insurance company and insured for the $Ioo with a proviso that addition al insurance can be had up to $500 at the rate of five cents per week per hundred dollars. No examination will be necessary to receive the insurance the worser being automatically in sured as soon as he Is admitted to the union and his name can be en- tered upon the international books.
 Changes in the constitution relative to the use of the Blue Label were also made providing for revision in the optional clause prevailing in some localities which changes are expected to result in great benefits in a cam paign mapped out to organize the entire industry as never before These changes are technical and will be fully set forth to the members in the referendum circulars to be sent out immediately they can be pre- pared.
 Another change adopted provides that the first and second vice-presi- dents shall hereafter have a voice in the convention. Heretofore although international officers, they had no privilege o fthe coor in the conven- ton unless elected by a local union As Samuel Gompers, head of the A. F. of L., is first vice-pr esident 1t was deemed proper that he and his next in line, in this case being MT. Orn- burn, should have voices in the meet

 GOLDEN ECONOMIC EGGS
Manufacturers Committee Would Educate Employes to Prevent
 Vicious Theories From De

The above headlines graced the Hartford Courant's Open Shop pages this week over two-column article so filled with interest of the workingman that 1t forgot to state emphatically that the Golden Econ omic Egg" that the workers are fear ed of killing. It was a report of the National Association of Manufacture CTS meeting in New York which in- |stead of boosting manufactures and trade devoted, according to the Cour- ant report, most of it's time to belt ing the workingman and especially the organized worker
 Just to show the workers what they are up against, that they may recog- nize this vicious propaganda when ever they see 1t, The Labor News re- prints 1t in part. After a glowing account of what a philanthropic asso- citation the manufacturers crowd is and how 1t 1oves" it's workers, how the spirit of Christianity prevails among them but that the employees apparently do not recognize this spir- 1t, the report goes on:
 "It Is evident that some agency must awaken to the pressing need for a means of placing before the workers such facts and information as are necessary to prevent crooked thinking and unwise action which seem bound to result from the flood of isrepresentations and part truths and, in many cases, vicious, destruc- tive propaganda which are spreading throughout the country eworkers get ting wise) If the manufacturers and their association ignore this slowly but-surely- working poison and take no action to present the true facts and to shape their policies and ac lions in accordance with right prin- cip1es and present day needs, they will some day, not far distant, find 1t too late for either preventive medi- cine or surgery. The goose that lays the golden egg will be dead"
 Americas position and leadership as an industrial nation has been built up under open shop operation.
