ONE-MAN TROLLEY BAN IN NEW HAVEN
 SIGNED BY MAYOR
Cnnecticut Company Immediately Pre- pares for Fight and Will
 Go to Courts.

The ordinance recently passed by the New Haven board of aldermen banning the large double-truck one-man trolley cars from the central streets was signed on TThursday by Acting Mayor John w. Murphy and will become operative on Thursday next when the laws re quiring publication will have been compiled with. Immediately will be- gin the battle between the city and the Connecticut company to determine who has the right to control the city streets, the city or the public utilities commission.
 Whether the matter will reach the courts through arrest of operators or officials of the company, or through an injunction sought by the company to prevent the city going ahead with the ordinance until the utilities com mission has passed upon the company s plans to install large number of the big One-man cars has not yet been determined. That 1t will reach the courts at once in some sort of a test case was admitted by George D. Wat rous. attorney for the company, imme- diately it was announced that Acting
 Mayor Murphy had approved and signed the ordinance.
 Unlike the attempt of Hartford to stop the increase of one-man cars. the New Haven law is based upon the II ght oi the city to safeguard 1t streets and prevent further congestion of traffic. ! The corporation cOunsels of the city have declared the city Ina such right but it has been disputed from the first by the Connecticut company officials. The aldermen by all overwhelming ma jOrity passed the measure and are now prepared to fight it out in the courts.

WEST HAVEN MEN
 STOOD BY WALKER

Official canvass of the vote taken by the New Haven Trolleymen's Union last week Ill the annual election Ot officers shows that the neighbors and co-Workers of President Fred Walker, in the West Haven barns stood by him Loyalty but were not numerous enough to overcome the big majority rolled up by Leo J. O'Connor i'll the other barns Mr. .O'Connor, who was de- feated by Mir. Walker a year ago, was returned to the office by a majority ot g votes. In the hurried canvass of the vote 1t was reported that MT. OConnor had carried every barn. This the figures now show to be somewhat in error.
 Mir. Walker is a West Haven resi- dent and most of the men running out of the West Haven barns live in that bailiwick also. There were 1O2 votes cast at West Haven of which MT, Walker got 85 and Mir. O'ConnOr 17. Even that was not enough to turn the battle, however. as Grand avenue and James street made up enough to elect Mir. O'Connor.

 BEFORE CONGRESS
Spokesman Says They Do More fo, Dollar Than Ever
 Before

Washington Dec. 15.-ln resuming their campaign for pay increase, the postoffice clerks this week attacked the statement of the postoffCc department, based on it's cost survey data, that one fifth of every postal dollar goes for clerical hire.
 Thomas F. Flahcrty asserted that clerks in field service are producing more for a lower wage than at any previous time in the history of the potal service.
 ITO be entirely aCCurate, said he, the department should have pointed out that clerical costs have propor- tionatelv decreased from year to year Each postof4ice clerk today is giving more in the way of service-or labor flor lower real wages than at any period since Ben Franklin started the postal system.
 Postal revenues have increased more rapidly than operating costs. In less than four years the postal work

A special train was hastily put together and the long trip down to the American border began. It included passage over two mountain ranges even higher than Mexico City and fears were constant that Mir. Gompers could not make the trip.

OLD NICK BUTLER
 TAKES A SHOT AT
 CHILD LABOR LAW
bia President Bounds Into Lime light Again With Let ter to 'Sentinels of the Republic" and Is Noisy as Usual.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13-Dr. Nicholas
 Murray Butler president of Columbia
 University, fired another heavy charge
 against the centralizatiOn of power Ill
 the Federal Government i'll a letter he
 sent to the Sentinels of the Republic
 and read at their mass meeting here.
 He also took a shot at his pet aver -tson-the Eighteenth Amendment-bu .Jjn this communication his big target ;was the Child Labor Amendment, in (which he took position very similar ..:to that announced by the New York 3Ihamber of Commerce.
 < According to Dr. Butler, the amend .4nent is an infringement upon the .Inatural right of parents to direct the Hives of their children, but he decried ..the whole underlying idea of the Fed ..eral Government assuming the right ito control such personal matters and depressed a we'll developed scepticism *as to the sincerity of the average citi- .;zen in his view of matters of govern .inent.
 X Dr. Butler condemned the spirit of -:1evity and of careless indifference with (which these vital matters are regarded .:by the vast majority of voters, and Iappealed for a more careful and ana j1ytical consideration of them when ithey are brought up for decision. His .letter says ill part:
 < There is now pending before the Estate legislatures an additional pro !posal for constitutional amendment, .:great levity and without any appar- :3ent conception of it's true signif-
 canoe and possibilities. There is no reason to believe that the miscalled
 Child Labor Amendment will, if rati-
 fled, improve the condition of one single child in any part of the United States. It may, on the contrary, well delay the day when child labor, which
 is now rapidly disappearing, will have totally disappeared among us.
 This would be due to the fact that the acendment will relieve the local
 and state governments Of their d1-
 rect responsibility, and transfer that responsibility to a distant, costly and certainly incompetent bureaucracy Op- , erating from the national capital Surely, no mother can favor the adoption of a Constitutional Amend ment which would empower the Con gress of the United States, at it's vii to invade the rights of parents and tC
 shape the family life to it's liking Surely, no true friend of childhood car wish to support measure which vii make possible the substitution of con
 gressional control of childhood anC youth for the natural relationship O. parent and guardian,
