mittee didn't report it in then she would bring 1t up on the floor The committee went into executive session and buried the resolution forthwith. Mrs. Townshend again asserted her independence of the committee and an nounced a fight to the finish.
 But even she was discouraged when she had made a sort of canvass of the convention and found the Klan in complete control of the situation. She therefore decided 1t useless to. make a fight and announced in no uncertain terms that she had decided not to be- cause when she "considered the atti tude of the convention she felt sure that the plank would be defeated and in order to prevent the entire convcn- ton from going on record as opposed to the plank and in favor of the K1an thereby she thought 1t best, for the sake of the party, not to press her resolution. But the damage had been done and 1t was shown to the state that the K1an is either in control of the republican party in Connecticut or afraid of it or seeking it's support. Then came the blanks from the 1 League of Women Voters which in cluded aside from one endorsing the anti-chi1d labor amendment such pro posals as equal rights for women and males, nine hour day and not more than 54 hour week for women and other industrial improvements. It was i "woops my dears" from the start and
 like the wOmen's resolution on the Klan was speedily given the gaze ex- cept for little sop offered later fin the program declaring the belief that the working conditions and hours under which women work should be safe guarded, to protect the vitality of the future race.
 But it was on the child labor amend ment that the fight really arose. It was argued that to endorse 1t would seriously affect the campaign of Prof. Hiram Bingham for governor, the can uludle udVl1lS HeIelOlOIe dSCldIed HIS opposition to such law and to stir that attitude up among the women and worker voters of the state might not do at all If the women were success ful in getting the resolution into the platform on which he would have to run his chances would be seriously impaired opponents of the measure argued. Then again the manu1actur CTS association, from which the re- publican party expects and usually gets large financial support is opposed to the amendment and must not be offended SO the resolution as referred to the committee in executive session and that was the. last heard of it.

the Council, who IS very young i'll years and experience as far as union matters are concerned, stated at the meeting that 1t was not necessary to send delegates to the A. F. Of L. con vention this year. This from dele gate who up to date has attended only two meetings of the Council and has never held any office in No. 47, sure is en1ightening.
 In regard to the vote taken by the Council and which it is understood the same two members voted in favor of, politically the Book of Laws of 1924 on page 98, Section 20, under General 1 Laws, says: "A subordinate union may take political action when the inter ests of organized labor as a whole and the craft in particular may be benefited thereby: Provided, No subordinate union shall assess it's members for partisan political purposes
 Were the two delegates spoken of before instructed to vote by No. AZ in favor of the Third Party ticket, ii so when and by whom, and in what way will the union be benefited as whole by such political action?
 It seems as though that ought to be sufficient for the time being on that subject. Perhaps there will be more to say i'll the near future. But there is a matter that should be brought to the attention of the general member ship and that is attendance at meet ings of the local. The commercial printers have been lax in attending meetings for some months, and for that reason such matters as already spoken of are allowed to take place. No one of the commercial printers or the job bers, as they are more familiary known, has any objections to the members of this large chapel running union matters as long as 1t Is done i'll the open and by fair means. If the jobbers and the members of the other chape1s of New Haven do not attend the meetings the results as mentioned are likely to be continued. ~'~< -z 4> .ls

Thomas F. McMahon, president of the union, said that the Manvi11e- Jenckes company reduced wages 10 per cent at the Globe Mill, Woonsoc- ket, R. l., early last month and that wages had been reduced at the Social mill.

House statement carefully avoided this
 important pOint-that not one of the
 visitors was the official representative of his organization.
 Among them were a number who are on the payroll of either the Government or the Republican national committee, including Joseph MacArdle, member of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men but now connected as civil serv-
 ice employe with the safety inspection bureau of the interstate Commerce Commission
 Mr. MacArdle has been appointed chief of the labor bureau" in President Coolidge's Eastern headquarters located in New York.
 The object of the demonstration at the White House was two-fold.
 First, President Coolidge's campaign managers have become seriously alarm ed over the wholesale election of work CTS from the Republican ranks. In the beginning of the campaign the Repub lican politicians wer consoling them selves with the thought that there is no such thing as the labor vote" Now they are discovering that 1t is very real influence and that the organized workers are supporting La Toilette and Wheeler as they have never supported a presidential ticket in this country.
 Second, the Coolidge managers want ed to crowd the opening speeches of Senators La Toilette and Wheeler off the first page of American newspapers. It had been announced that the two Senators would open their campaign on Labor Day, and that President Coolidge would mot make any address on that occasion That meant that La Toilette and Wheeler would get the ''big play in every newspaper in the United States on the morning of September 5.
 When this fact trickled through to the Republican managers they got to- gether and decided that something must be done to arrange Labor Day party for the President, -~''~"- f's'--,*'
 The task was turned over to Chair man O'Connor of the Shipping Board and to Inspector MacArdle of the Inter State Commerce Commission
 They soon found that none of the leaders of organized labor would parti cipate in the affair so they proceeded to bring to Washington and to the White House any trades unionist in the eastern part of the United States who could be induced to help them out.
 According to the list published by the White House, they succeeded in rally ng just IA men, not one of whom, so far as known, was authorized to speak fer any group of workers.
 With the assistance of the 4aily pa oers throughout the country, however, he fake was put across. The majority | 1f the papers assured their readers on he morning of September 2 that a group of distinguished labor leaders" l lad been the Presidents guests at the White House on the day before and had lpplauded the views of the President | and had assured him of their | lndying devotion.
 A few of the papers, notably the Syndicate and the Bal imore Sun, refused to "fall" for the ake and gave their readers the facts.

ENGLAND'S GREAT
 EXHIBITION OPENS
Affair at Wembley Attracting
 Nationwide Attention

London, April 2S.-The inaugura- ton today of the British empire eX- 1 hibition at Wembley engrossed the at tention of the entire nation. The newspapers this morning heralded the event with multitudious details and
 pictures, recalling also that it is St.
 Georges Day--name day of the tra-
 ditional patron saint of England-the
 anniversary of the birth of Shape- speare, of the attack on' Zeebrugge and other events dear to the English mans memory.
 Thousands of broadcast listeners looked over their radio sets last night to ensure that all was in order for their reception of the kings speech formally opening the exhibition after it is turntd over to him by the Prince of Wales, as president.
 The last minute preparations were feverish. Thousands of workers la bored throughout the night by the light of arch lamph, flares and bon fires, to complete the arrangements for today's ceremony and the expected great influx of visitors.
 The bonfires were fed from the piles of rubbish which have long been lit- tering the grounds, while desperate efforts were made to finish the nu- ,nerous roadways and give at least a general appearance of readiness to the great suburban park.
 Notwithstanding these great efforts, much work remains to be done, but it is thought the stage will be entirely set within few days. The exhibition Is to continue to the first of Septem- ber In connection with the opening, Premier Bruce of Australia cabled the Aust ralian high commissioner in London, Sir Joseph Cook, emphasizing that .the strength of the empire now depends on the development of our resources and the prosperity of all our people,"
 Great Britain and the dominions, he declared, were mutually dependent adding:
 Let us on this day, in the spirit | that animated and sustained our fath- PTS, pledge ourselves by our loyalty to ! empire products, to build upon the | asting foundation of the prosperity ,f every individual citizen a greater md nobler empire than we have yet snown; one which. owing to It's su- ,remacy in the arts of peace will re- main the greatest factor in maintain ng peace"
