LABORERS DENY STATEMENT OF
 BOSS BUILDERS
Union Men Say Employers Will Be Forced to Give In-Jobs Still
 Tied Up.

Master builders of New Haven who have been sorely oppressed by the strike of building laborers are either genuine optimists or fragrant buffers, judging from the following Statement to the press last week.
 At a meeting of the Master Build ers' Association held today the la borers' strike situation was discussed. Since the beginning of the strike, the association has placed from it's office 300 laborers. Every member of the association is we'll supplied at the present time with laborers. All of the members stated that their position was just the same as at the beginning of the strike and that they would not under any circumstances give in to the laborers in any way.
 "The following firms were repre- sented at the meeting: The Sperry Engineering Co.,, the Sperry x Treat Co.,, the Larkin-Carey Co, the J. N. Leonard & Co.,, the National Con struction Co.,, the Dwight Building Co.,, Sullivan & McKeon, James A. Haggerty, James E. Todd, Samuel C. Russell, Chatfeld Bros, and Chas. M Murdock"
 As matter of fact the builders result of the walkout. Some of the most important jobs in the city are at a standstill Strikebreakers who have been induced to work have been rank failures for the most part.
 Most of the 1aborers have already been placed on jobs. They are nor worrying over the outcome of the strike, contending that the master builders will be forced to give in.

SCHLEIFER CASE
 ARGUED BEFORE
 SUPREME COURT
filling Makes Final Effort Following His Ing1orious Setback in Super
 for Court-Decision Reserved,

The appeal of States Attorney Arnon A. filling in the case of Ernest Schleifer, we'll known labor leader, was argued before the state supreme court at New Haven today. The de- cision of the high court will not be handed down for several weeks.
 filling filed an appeal with the high est court in the state following his inglorious setback when Judge James H. Webb sustained motion of the defense to quash the states informa- ton. It Is common gossip that the prosecutor of the New Haven county superior court was fguratively knock ed ffhis feet as he witnessed his pet plans blow up in smoke. His appeal, therefore, was expected.
 filings activities in the Schleifer case aroused wide criticism. The states attorney even "butted in" to the trial in the lower court. He fol- lowed up this action by voluntarily giving information concerning the complaint to the press. Ordinarily, filling insults newspapermen when they ask him for information of pub lie interest which he should willingly give.
 Friends of filling say he openly predicted that Schleifer would "go to prison for long term" The prose cutor is said to have worked harder on the case than he ever did during his long term in office.
 filling was made to look foolish, however, when the defense attorneys, Thomas J. Spellacy and Benjamin Slade, sprung their surprise in the form of motion to quash the com pfaint The action of the court fol- lowed
 filling has been unusually reticent ever since as far as a person, namely, Schleifer, has been concerned. Even associates of. the "Colonel" have been afraid to mention the case, it is said, fearing that by doing so they would arouse the wrath of the boss of the prosecutors office.

In referring to the legislatures ac- tivity, ar rather lack. of activity, Sec retary Ornburn said:
 "On January 10, 1923, the execu- tive council met in the state capitol and after hearing the report of your secretary, authorized the introduction in the General Assembly of the fol- lowing bills:
 "48 hour week for women and chill dren
 "An amendment to the boycott and intimidation act
 An amendment to the workmen's compensation act
 An amendment to the constitution requiring the election of judges by the people.
 An act to regulate the employment of mechanics and laborers on public works.
 "An act establishing kindergarten schools.
 " our secretary was further in- structed by the council to favor the Old Age Pension Bill presented by the Fraternl Order of Eagles; also to favor an increased appropriation requested by the Anti-M Mosquito As sociation. These measures were re- ferred to the various committees for hearings. Considerable enthusiasm developed on the reduction of hours for women and children As has been the case of recent legislatures, the women's welfare organizations intro duced 50 hour bill This bill was given hearing one week before the

48 hour bill Both bills were heard in the hall of the house and in each case from 400 to 500 people were present, the majority favoring the re- duction of hours; some differed be- tween the advisability of advocating the 48 hour bill at this time.
 The Senate chairman of the Com mittee on Labor, to which commit tee this legislation was assigned, gave preference to the 50 hour bill and assigned the hearing. on this measure one week before the 48 hour bill. Ev- cry possible effort was made, through Senator Dignam of Hartford and House Chairman, Mr. Andrews of Danbury, the two union men mem bers of the Committee on Labor to report the 48 hour bill favorable. Even with their support we failed
 "The following roll call vote of the Senate will disclose the friends of the shorter work day in the present Sen> ate: In favor of reducing the hours to 50 per week: Senators Suisman, Dignam, Pakewell (R), Mcdonald (R), Tone, Clyne, BeisiegeI (R), McGrath, Johnson, Rogers (R), Gibbs, Harter, Behre (R), Kenealy (RO, Doty (R); total, Is.

President O'Meara's speech, in sub stance, was as follows:
 "In obedience to the constitution of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, I deem it a great honor to appear before you to give an account of the work of the executive and ad- ministrative department of the organ ization for the past year.
 "The trade union movement today is progressing, and during my past five terms as your president there never has been a time in that long term in which the wage earneTs have been so active as during the past six months Today large numbers of our people are enrolling in part time edu- cational activities, others are subscrlb- ing to, and participating in technical works, vast inquiries are coming unto our office from the wage earners who are interesting them selves m the new financial control work of the move ment, others are more active Tn the political life of the communities wherein they reside, large numbers are applying for the proper citizen ships, so that we are in a new era, and we must be thankful for these inn provements.
 @I wish to thank the many trade unions of Connecticut that have ob- tained through hard work, trades agreements and other honorable un- derstandings with their employers. This exemplifes good will towards one another, and has eliminated ces- sations of work I wish to thank the employers of this state that believe in the spirit of cooperation, and who have so grandly signihed it in the practical way that they have, for they have done great service to the in dustrial life of the state of Connecti- cut, to have peace. The organiza- tions cannot imagine what a great ac- complishment this is, 1t means that

 As result of these conferences and the activities of the union. 10-15 per cent. increase has been put into effect; union shop committees are recognized and assurance against discrimination is given.
 The organization is in a fourishing condition and has done much to help along a campaign of all factory trades i'll Bridgeport. The aims of the union are the re-establishnent of the 44-hour week and further increases ot meet cuts made during the depression.
