q. Q. P. OFFERS LABOR A SOP
 IN PLATFORM

Although President Gompers and the Legislative Committee Of the \. F. of L. appeared at the Republi ran convention i'll Cleveland this week and asked for a square dear' such as was published Iii The La Dor News last week, the following druel is what came out III the f1nal platform adopted:
 Labor.
 The increasing stress of indus trial life; the constant and necessary efforts because of world competition to increase production and decrease costs has made 1t specially incum bent on those in authority to pro- tect labor from undue exactions.
 We commend Congress for hay ing recognized this possibility in Its prompt adoption of the recommen- dation of President Coolidge for a constitutional amendment authoriz- ing Congress to s1egislate on the subject of child labor and we urge the prompt consideration of that amendment by the Legislatures of the various states.
 There is no success great enough to justify the employment of women in labor under conditions which will impair their natural functions.
 I,;~ cfo rIc wage working and living conditions among the women employed in in dustry.
 We pledge a continuance of the successful efforts pf the republican administration to eliminate the sev- en-day, 12-hour work week in in dustry. We regard with satisfac- ton the elimination of the 12-hour day in the steel industry and the agreement eliminating the seven day week. of alternate 13 and II hours accomplished through the eff forts of Presidents Harding and Coolidge We decalre our faith i'll the -pr1ncIple of the e1ght-nour day.
 We pledge a continuation of the work of rehabilitating workers Ii. industry as conducted by the Fed eral board of vocational education and favor adequate appropriations for this purpose.
 We favor broader and better system of vocational education, more adequate system of Federal free employment agencies with ia cilities for assisting the movements of seasonal and migratory labor i'm cluding farm labor with ample or ganization for bringing the man and his job together.

PERPETRATORS RAISE REQUIREMENTS PAY
 10 CENTS AN HOUR
Springfield and Worcester Car Work CTS Win Great Victory After
 Long Struggle.

While the Connecticut Company and it's trolley employees are at logger heads over the question of wage in crease, the company at first absolutely refusing to grant anything over the persent wage scale and the men de manding an increase which finally led the company to offer one cent an hour raise, board of arbitration which for weeks has been considering trolley mems wage conditions in Springfield and Worcester, Mass, on Wednesday of this week, announced decising raising the wages 10 cents an hour and making the increase retroactive to January 1. The wage paid in those cities was 58 cents an hour, one cent more than the maximum in Connec- ticut Now 1t will be 68 cents an hour and in addition the men won an eight hour day. In addition pay at time and one-half Is granted for all overtime work The arbitrator for the company presented minority report and later denounced the decision of the maj jor- ity but 1t stands About 1000 men are affected.
 Acceptance of the arbitration boards award was voted at meetings of the Trolleymen's Union in Central Labor Hall Wednesday night. Loud applause was given with the announcement of the various awards, favorable to the men,
 Employees consent to re1inquish their rights under the state 9 i'll II hours law in allowing spare men to work 8 in IA hours, and the arbitration board has provided penalties On the com panies for spread of F, 13 and prac- tically IA hours. Chairman Lewis C. Parker. of Westheld, says he hopes that no more runs will extend over II hours than are absolutely necessary for the good of the employees, the com panies and the service.
 The contract under this award shall be dated Jan. 1 and shall continue until June 1, 1925. although the new agreement and award will not be placed in operation until June 28, ex- cept in the payment of back pay at the rate of 10 cents for each hour worked in six months, to be computed on the basis of payroll hours of each em- ploye. Such payments are to be made on or before Aug. H.
 A separate department for the op- eration of busses, with seniority separ- ate from that in the transportation service is to be made, and vacancies are to be filled from the transporta- tion department in the order of sen iority, If the men are qualified.
 Many of the so-ca1led bonuses were reduced or entirely eliminated by the board, which expressed the opinion that work required shall be paid for and that time paid for shall be worked and that there shall never be two pay ments to one man for the same work" !"

Strikers Brought Old
 Rome to Knees
By Internatinoal Labor News Service.

By Internatinoal Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., June 14-That ancient Rome was no more immune from strikes than modern New York or Chicago is recalled by the story told by Livy and Ovid. The strikers were the guild of musicians (tibicines) and they refused to work because the ban quet which was traditional1y accorded them every year at the expense of the state and which they were accustomed to enjoy i'll the Capitol, was omitted in 311 B. C.
 The musicians all left Rome and went to Tibur to await overtures from the state. The situation created by the walkout was very embarrassing to the authorities, for the sacrifices could not be carried out without music The men were finally lured back by strate- gy-they were given free drinks of very intoxicating wine and while dead to the world" were taken to Rome. However, then men won their strike, as the authorities decided that a privilege so long accorded had be- come right and the banquet was restored.

In the past New Haven teachers were selected from the high stand graduates of the state normal school. of markings given by the officials of those schools and a large amount of which was given on actual personality and temperament for teaching children. which was made thorough study during their stay i'll the school. Taken with their actual knowledge this marking gave supply. of competent and sympathetic teachers which has heretofore worked admirably
 But this system didn't allow of the juggling process of politics and pro- hibited the carrying out of the polite ians' promises of appointments to the New Haven schools for those who might be able to swing some votes through their families later So the old rule was discarded and the board decided to do its own marking on per sonality, although probably not more IS hinted, not even that many, knew the prospective teacher personally or anything about her except what was whispered into their political ears
 The "examinations" were held re- gently and out of list of something more than 150 New, Haven girls to graduate from the Normal schools about score succeeded in passing the test and among these were some whom 1t IS said, were well down the line in the ratings given them by the school officials, but nevertheless they were passed over the heads of those of much higher standing It is also said that even here the cogs slipped somewhere for some politicians are even now up i'll the air because they had promised some of their friends they would se- cure appointments but their pull wasn't strong enough to do so, hence the ire
 Another thing that is causing much criticism i'll the city is the policy adopted of permitting married women teachers to remain in the schools when 1t IS claimed they should be at home rearing children for other teachers to teach i'll the future There are even some cases in the New Haven schools

While the decision on "Wednesday III the arbitration on the Springfield and Worcester lines, by which wages were increased 10 cents an hour, as told in another column, had some effect on the late afternoon vote 1t really had little to do with the final result. The Mass achusetts award was not made until late Wednesday night and few Of the trolleymen in Connecticut who voted during the morning hours were aware of the big victory their fellows in cen- tra1 Massachusetts had won. Accord ing to the checkers about the Connec- ticut election polling places, the sen timent of the men to reject the one cent offer was clearly manifest but had the result in Massachusetts been known IS would have only served to have made the majority against the proposal much larger and to have literally swamped it.
 The trol1eymen in Connecticut or iginally asked for 75 cents an hour but the company absolutely refused to con- sider any proposition other than to stand by the present rate of, 57 cents an hour maximum, that being claimed a concession from the company's first intention of cutting wages three cents an hour all down the line. The troll 1eymen rejected the company's terms, working conditions and all, in the latter the company having agreed to allow competent men to bid in for the new bus lines.
 When this was reported to the com pany the company at first stood pat and negotiations were broken of. An international officer of the union was sent for but before he arrived Mir Punderford and members of the con ference board met and the tentative offer of d one cent an hour increase was made. Before making 1t formal. however, the company desired assur- ance that the men would accept such terms so 1t was put to the vote and was rejected.
 What the next move will be IS prob lematical Both sides were sick of ar bitration, the past performances in that line not only being costly but delaying
