As the campaign is to open with the meta ltrades conference was held in New Haven yesterday be- tween President F. F. O'Meara, Sec retary Ornburn and John J. Egan of Bridgeport, vice-president, represent ing the metal trades unions on the Federation board Plans were made for the calling together of a metal trades conference in New Haven on September I5, the call with exact date and place to be issued through Sec retary Ornburn. Every affiliated metal trades union in the state will be represented if is expected.
 This will be followed immediately with the specially called city central body meetings at which the entire executive board of the Federation will tour the state and lay the plans of campaign before the membership. The action now follows a tentative council following the June convention but which was not opened until the hot season had about gone
 The Labor bank proposition will of course be one of the big points are being rapidly gotten together and II pected will be far enough advanced so that the proposition can be put before the workers in concise form. Already the interest taken in it about the state, by local unions and indi- viduals, is greatly pleasing the special committee appointed to consider the matter.
 Although the next state and general election IS more than a year away the political campaign will be started at once and followed up to the end. Heretofore Labor has lost out simply because 1t did not start soon enough to make it's wants known and to get the political parties where 1t could have something to say about those nominated to state and other offices, legislative. Then when those nominated were elected they owed Labor nothing and that is just what they. paid-nothing This will not happen this coming year if the executive board can help it.
 The general organization campaign will also be carried on more inten- sively than ever before, the entire executive board planning to tour the state in relays and inject interest Tn the work in the several localities where Labor needs strengthening. There will be no let up, as 1t IS in tended that Labor shall not only have it's own bank year hence but also be able to say something about who is going to make the laws under which 1t IS compelled to live and work.

Conference in Danbury Sunday to Plan For Legislation to Rid BOOtblacks and Hat
 Cleaning Corners From Tons sOrial Places Also Want Hair DreSsers Li- censed. l

Journeymen barbers of Connecticut will meet in state cohferenie at Dan bury on Sunday to start a rampaign for general betterment of the craft throughout the state and to prepare to wage an active fight up to and at the next legislature for the amend ment of the laws now covering the licensing of barbers and the conduct of the shops The latter is most inn portant from health standpoint in asmuch as 1t Is a renewal of the years old fight to have removed from the barber shops, the germ distribut- ing adjunctsS of the bootblacks chair and hat cleaning. Although bills for these purposes were offered several times and received much public sup port, the reactionary legislatures turned them down as soon as they found Organized Labor was interest ed in them
 The campaign is to be waged on new tack hereafter. The public rath- CT than the barber is in danger, for a man lying back in chair breathing deeply is in much more danger of inhaling disease germs scattered by the whisk brooms and shoe brushes, than Is the barber who is busily working over him. The conference will plan to bring this home directly to the public and enlist his aid in his own protection as we'll as that of the barber.
 Trade conditions about the state will also be discussed and plans made to extend the organized workers into every shop no matter how small. The barbers locals individually have been. having some serious discussions in several cities of Connecticut for some weeks back but have so far won out on all their demands. To protect themselves and their employers now they intend to get after unorganized competition wherever it exists.
 The conference will be headed by Fred. Gothier of Hartford president and Angelo Passemato of Waterbury, secretary. General Organizer An thony Merlino, formerly of New Ha- ven but now of New York, will be present and address the meeting on general conditions in the trade
 Another matter to be taken up is the enactment of law providing that "hair dressers" shall be licensed just as are barbers They are not now so covered by the law and in the recent "bobbed hair" craze increased by hundreds without any supervision such as guards barber shops.

Peeved When He Could Not Run Union to Suit H i m s elf, Norwich Man Appeals to Law.

Norwich, Sept i.-Abrahan Diyid- son. proprIe4opof the Broadway and Strand theaters here, who has been in continual rumpus for several months in an effort to conduct the Musicians Union, Local 235, as he sees fit, has finally brought suit against the union, or rather its i'm dividual members, claiming $4o,ooo damages and the suit is returnable to the coming term of court. MT. Davidson alleges the union members conspired to thwart his plans and thereby hurt his business, and claims this became apparent last week, when a union show came to town, the stage hands with 1t and the actors them selves refused to show in the non union house and 200 patrons, Count 'em, boys-I,2oo cash paid patrons) didn't see the show. The show was Neil O'Brien's Minstrels, the mem bers of whom are affiliated with the Actors union and there was nothing doing for MT. Davidson Hence he brought suit for enough to purchase all he owns in both show houses, figuring perhaps to clean up and re- tire.
 The trouble has been brewing since last May when Davidson sought to jockey the musicians from the theater to the Strand to get rid of Walter w Lang, leader at the Broadway, who Mr. Davidson just. personally didn't like He could have fired" Lang and gotten away with it had he had the nerve but instead sought to layoff the Strand orchestra, the Broadway to the Strand and in the shuff1e get rid of Lang.

LABOR LEADERS
 FEAR COOLIDGE
President Believes Public Has Rights
 Over Those of Unions.

Organized labor has pledged it's support to President Coolidge, al though it must be noted that the resolution had to be tempered some what to get past the radicals of the executive board. Ever since the Bos- ton police strike MT. Coolidge has not been popular with the radical labor element and there is no 41es- ton in the fact that labor is inclined to fear him.
 But labor need not fear Presi- dent Coolidge if it will proceed only within the limitations within which 1t is clearly within it's rights. The moment it steps beyond these limita- lions and trespasses upon the rights of the public, MT. Coolidge may be expected to act Labor remembers his statement at the time of the Bos- ton police strike in which he declar- ed that there is no right to strike against the public safety, anywhere at any time
 Labor has certain rights, but those rights are not all-encompassing. They do not overlap the rights of the pub lie at large, nor of any individual

 Washington, D. C., Aug. 3I- Stopping of street cars in Wash ington and other cities during the funeral of President Harding Tn Marion, Ohio, recalled to trolley men the similar stopping of serv- ice in Providence, R. l., in mem ory of the late Michael J. Cahill, business agent of Division No. 6I8, Ama1gamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Elm ployes of America
 Every car on the United Elec- tric Railway of Providence was stopped at 9 o'clock for one-half minute May 9. The tribute is one that is rarely paid except in the case of the death of the nations President or some other high gov ernmenta1 official In telling of the tribute to MT. Cahill, Providence newspaper said:
 This mark of respect is seldom paid, as 1t involved a total oper- ating delay of many hours, al though for each car of only one half minute MT. Cahill, however, was so highly regarded, both by members of the union, the affairs of which he directed throughout the state, and by officers and di- rectors of the trolley company, that 1t was considered none too fitting an honor to pay to his mem ory."

THE HUGHES PLAN
a Body of Experts to Fix the ReparS
tions Is the Best Plan,
He Says. !

Montreal, Can.-Secretary Hughes
proposal made nearly a year ago Tor
the appointment Of a commission OF
experts to determine Germanys
capacity to pay re~paration was de-
clared by David Lloyd George to be
absolutely the best hope of the settle
ment Of reparations."
The former premier made this as
sertion when shown press dispatches
from Washington, which stated that
high American administration officials
believed it was not too late for accept
ance Of the plan. His statement came
after he had delivered his first pubic
address in Canada in which he eX-
pressed his gratitude for the resolute
and unhesitating part which the DO
minion played in the world war.
Commenting on Secy. Hughes plan,
Mr.. Lloyd George said:
I'm my opinion, this plan is not too
late for consideration and it is abso-
lutely the best hope Of the settlement
OF reparations. OF course, since the
plan was first preached the ability or
Germany to pay is much less. The
greater the delay, the closer the situa-
ton approaches chaos. | hope that
serious consideration OF Mr.. Hughes
plan may be taken up even at this
late date, and l repeat that 1t is the
best hope of a successful settlement
The Washington press dispatches
indicated that in official opinion ac-
~ceptanee of the plan would rest with
France.
Britain's war time premier spoke
to an audience which crowded the
Mount Royal Arena, with its seating
capacity of 10000 to the doors. He
declared that Canada in the great war
was tried practically for the first
time on a great scale in that burning,
scorching crucible, and she came out
pure and refined gold"
Canada had to enter into an exam
nation of her qualities" he continued,

strongest, the most tested, the most
dominant races, and it was a search

"The treaty of Versailles may have
