Sioux City, Iowa. March 24.-How
two ferrymen rescued William Han.
son, who had determined to die rather
than leave his property on Brassfield
island in the Missouri river south OF

Late yesterday afternoon. when ap.

they called for volunteers to help them
in making the trip TO the island. No
body volunteered. The two men then
in spite of protestation of others that
they were going TO certain death, start
ed to row through the swollen stream
to the island.
They found Hanson on tiny knoll
with several head of livestock around
him and the water running around
their feet. Hanson refused TO get
into the boat. insisting that he wanted
to stick till death.
Kelly, a man of gigantic stature,
grappled with the islander, who put up
a terrific fight.
While the men struggled with Han
son, an airplane suddenly swept over
them and began dropping high ex-
plosives. The airmen not hit the
ice gorge, and several of his missiles
struck within 100 yards of the fighting
trio.
The rescuers finally succeeded in
binding Hanson with a rope and
brought him safely to shore in their

ARE
 PAYING THE PRICE
 FOR STUBBORNESS
Pennsy and L. & N. Are In Bad Way,
 Due to Defective Equipment.

The touch of cold weather this week verified what has been claimed all the time-that those "die hard" railroads which refused to reach agreements with their employees, and whose equipment fis in a sorry way, would go down and out when the snow began to fly.
 The interstate commerce commis- sion this week decided the Pennsyl- vania railroad was responsible for wreck near Cincinnati in which sev eral people were killed and about 30 injured. A defective locomotive was the cause.
 The Louisville & Nashville this week declared an embargo on freight.
 The Norfolk & Western is unable to move coal, except in very small quantities, which accounts for the scarcity of Pocahontas fuel. Its equip ment is "shot to pieces"
 Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania; Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania rail road, and representatives of the strik- CTS are holding conferences in Phil adelphia. Unless the Pennsylvania lines, which also own the Norfolk & Western, settle with their employees in the near future, the whole system will about go out of commission.

 January 2nd, 1923.
 Hon. Albert Johnson, Chairman House Committee on 11nmigra- ton and Naturalization.
 My Dear MT. Congressman:
 Under date of Dec 3oth, 1922, the New Haven Union, one of the inhl1- ential daily and Sunday papers oi New Haven, Conn, there appeared an article, copy of which I am enclos- ing to you, which pertained to the visit of representatives of the Manu- facturers' Association of Connecticut to Washington, D. C., in appearing before the Committee on jImmigra- tion and Naturalization of the House of Representatives in an attempt to have what is termed ,''the letting down of the bars" so that a greater num- Der of immigrants will be permitted to enter the United States
 mission will result in overthrowing our present laws bearing on i1nmi3 grafton problems, with fthe present committee membership and yourself as chairman of said committee.
 But 1 am seriously interested in the effort of these gentlemen from Con- nectlcut to have any amendment to our present laws that would permit unrestricted immigration as of old, and this, in my opinion, is due to many private and public expressions, that this is their aim
 Only within the past week a news article stated that employers in Con- necticut have given up the idea of further recruiting unskil1ed labor from southern Europe. I presume that this statement referred to the Italian race in that field.
 From my experience in dealing with human beings for a great many years past, I am very much pleased to note Of this accomplishment, for today as contrasted with only few short years ago, the unski1led 1aborer of the Ital- ian race Is demanding living wages, instead of taking what was handed to him by the greed of interruptions employers. He is demanding better living conditions and his effort to have his children get better educa- tion Is seriously noted. This is great tribute to the man from South ern Europe who formerly was handled like beast, and in this hour of desperation as Is claimed, these gentlemen from the Manufactur ers' Association of Connecticut are striv- ing to have unrestricted immigration again in our midst.
 The fault, MT. Congressman, at this time is not with an unskilled labor shortage at all, for we have in Con- necticut today large numbers of men Out of employment, but these naen positively refuse to go to work for these same manufacturers for an hourly rate of 20 cents which has been offered in many instances to these poor fellows
 Today it is known fact that large numbers of the members of the strik- ng railroad shop crafts organizations are working at unskilled labor, and
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-01-05

1 they are glad to work at it, rather
 than be idle, but these men have re- l fused many employers assistance to go fo work when they were offered | g and 28 cents per hour. On jobs that 1 they are working on now they receive | $ cents.
 l wish to convey to you, MT. Con- | gressman, this impression: that the Connecticut Federation of Labor and all it's affiliated trades unions are not opposed to having any man or woman come into our country who will be a credit to it's institutions. We want
 them to come here, and to take ad- vantage of the progress that has been
 made, but we are bitterly opposed to permitting a "letting down of the bars" and allowing poor, uneducated underfed people come here, and due to their physical condition especially, to immediately fall prey to the mem bers of the Manufacture urers' Associa- ton of Connecticut and kindred asso- ciation, and their coming will lower already established standards. I beg you, MT, Congressman, to peruse records in the Congressional library to obtain facts therein to show that these same manufacturers of Connecticut have been the means of having serious labor distur bances in their plants upon refusal to pay wages that would permit of respectable standards for man Or woman, and 1 am sure that you can have access to the records of the internal revenue department of the United States, and there see the enormous totals paid by these same manufacturers in Con- necticut for income and excess profits taxes
 ; l am extremely sorry to have to start writing in this vein at the be- ginning of a new year, but due. to past performances of this set of em- ployers under the banner of the Manufacturers Association of Con- necticut, I know them, and know of their attitude to tleslaborer, and I know that 1t would be a wonderful thing for them to accomplish, to have the present 1mm1 m1gration laws amend ed either temporarily or otherwise, so that they could further set back the. man that works for a daily wage by having 25 men Tor one job.
 Please exert every known thing possible to defeat this effort of theirs, and bear in mind the previous lines that have written, that we as Or ganized men and women invite our ized country to come here, but under conditions that they accept American standards as whole, and not ones of a private character that are estab- lished by the Manufacturers Associa- , ton of Connecticut.
 l extend to you and the committee members a hearty wish for prosper ous New Year, and hope that the Divine Creator will give His blessings to all that in their deliberations all will be treated with justice, and I re- main,
 Respectfully yours,

MERIDEN FORUM
 SPEAKER BADLY
 MIXED ON UNIONS
Attempt to Defend Open Shop Resulted in Demonstration of Misinformation.
Especial to The Labor News.)

] Especial to The Labor News.) Meriden, Conn, Jan. 1.-The spokesman for the so-called open shop made a very lamentable show ing at the open, forum at St. Pauls Universalist church here Sunday. The speaker in trying to show how
 unions are throttling the supply of skilled mechanics got into such bad
 mess that he admitted that he may have been grossly misinformed He made the statement that at a conven- tion of master plumbers representing
 o5o journeymen, that only I2 helpers could be accounted for. He was ask
 ed If this was a convention of union
 employers and replied in the afirma- tive. From another corner he was
 asked where this convention was held, if 1t was held in Connecticut, to which
 the speaker replied in the affirmative
 and then came the climax when a
 person who has attended every con-
 vention of the master plumbers for
 the last seven years stated that no
 such condition was reported at any
 convention to his knowledge, follow
 ed by the statement that there were
 more helpers than that in Meriden
 alone to say nothing of any other
 city. Evidently some one Spilled the
 the beans"
 The speaker condemned the strike
 and to strike in sympathy with an- other was worse. In other words for one person to help carry the load of another when that load is too heavy
 for one is bad. For the strong to help the weak is 'un-American
 The speaker spoke about point of contact being established between employer and employe, but was at a loss to say just where this point of suggested through the foreman.
 The speaker said trades unionism was not contemplated by the framers of the Declaration of Independence and Is contrary to the right ~of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" Granting that trades unions were not contemplated by the framers of the Declaration of Independence were manufacturers associations, chambers of commerce, leagues of industrial rights? Was it contemplated that a judge was to be able to declare the acts of congress void? Was 1t con- templated that when a man wanted to change from one factory to another that he was to get permission to do so, and further what is the first thing the framers of this Declaration of 1n did do? They organized and to make the Declaration of In effectivv they unionizd the colonists and then they went on sympathetc strikes and demonstrated the effectiveness of the strike.
 The speaker did not like the terms | of capital and labor as used in indus ] try. He also claimed that the em- i oloyer is the one best qualified to say 1 what the wages should be; that is what a man is worth; in other words 1e would have the business agent of he stockholders set the wages of the workman. The actual employer rare y sees his employees in modern in 1ustry. The superintendent of fac ory is to the stockholders what the business agent is to the union, with he exception that the superintendent las more mandatory power.
