JUDGE MAYER RESIGNS;
 BROKE CAR MEMS STRIKE

New York, July 26.-Federa1 Cir cult Court Judge Mayer has resigned and will enter the private practice of law He broke a strike on the Brook 1yn Rapid Transit lines four years ago when that corporation was in the hands of receiver. He refused to treat with or recognize the Amalga- mated Association of Street and E1ec- tric Railway Employees. The Rapid Transit had formed a company "union," '" and the court said one union" is enough. This permitted the company union" to function as the corporation intended.
 Last winter Judge Mayer secured nationwide notoriety by sentencing Comptroller Craig to jail for GO days because of a criticism of the court Ill connection with the handling of transit receiverships. President Coolidge re- mitted the sentence before the comp troller was confined in jail

KHAN BOOSTS COOLIDGE AND DAWES TO FURTHER PLOT TO ELIMINATE ALL
 SECTARIAN SCHOOLS IN COUNTRY
Kleagle of New Haven Branch of Masked Horde Declares Educational Plank in Republican Platform Is Klan Work and Will Be Carried Out as Soon as Ticket Is Elected-To Shut Im- migration Gates Tight, He Adds.

The Ku K1ux K1an is going to elect the next president of the United States and that president will be Cool idge and immediately after the Klan will proceed to put into force it's fed era1 education bill which will eliminate all sectarian schools in the country, and the educational plank in the Republi- can platform Is absolutely the Klan proposal and aim, according to the en- phatic statement of former K1eag1e of the Klan in New Haven made this week during the course of a political argument The Klan also intends to go farther on the immigration laws and shut out from the United States all persons of such nationality as the Klan does not approve even if all immigra- tion has to cease for. several years to bring this about, the same Klan officer continued.
 The Klansman was recently shown up by the Waterbury Herald when an application and membership card he had endorsed was lost by the recipient and given to the Herald by the finder When discovered the officer, who is employed by the New Haven Gas com pany as salesman boldly admitted his membership and has since been spread ing his propaganda right and left at every opportunity.
 During the present week he sought a chance to do little K1an missionary work to the advantage of the Repub- lican national ticket Those he ap- preached, and there happened to be one or two among them whose religi- ous views bar them from the K1an, listened to him in amazement but he insistedi that he knew what he was talking about and offered documentary evidence to prove 1t.
 The Democratic party in the first place is made up mainly of those per sons whose religious views or racial extraction make them taboo to the self-styled 100 per cent Americans Therefore the Democratic ticket should be considered as practically outlaw, as if elected little hope of the K1an ac- complishing it's aims would be had. he asserted. The Kaln is assured of sup port in the election of Coolidge and Dawes and the K1an will therefore Coolidge.

GOVERNOR SMITHS PLAN BRINGS PEACE
 IN GARMENT TRADE
General Strike Is Averted as Commis sion Adjusts Grievances of
 5000 Employees.

New York, July 26.-Ful1 resumption of work in the ladies' garmen tindus try, involving 5O,00O employees, came last week as a result of an agreement l effected by commission appointed by Governor Smith to conciliate differ ences between workers and employers that almost eventuated in a strike a week previous. Under terms of the agreement the International Ladies' Garment Work ers' Union, of which Morris Sigrnan is president, gained practically all of it's demands.
 Principal recommendations of the governors commission which have been agreed to by the manufacturers and the union are: Reduction of the number of shops in the industry from 5000 to approxi- mately 1,5O0 through process of con- solidation, to eliminate sub-contractors, many of whom have proven irrespon- sible
 All garments to be produced in union shops. This will prevent an unfair form of competition and wage-cutting and insure sanitation.
 An appropriate label, agreed upon by union and employers, to show that gar ments are made under good sanitary conditions.
 Unemployment insurance fund, equal to per cent of weekly pay roll, of which employees are to contribute per cent.

Then will come the great smash at parochial schools, Jewish schools, Ger man Catholic schools and the like and a general cleanup of all sectarian in struction in the country made. This will be brought about, he pointed out, through the educational plank in the Republican platform, which, he said, was written and presented by K1ans- men and promptly adopted by the Re publican convention. He added that the K1an controlled that convention and to prove it pointed out how the klan was powerful enough ot prevent all mention of itself in the resolutions committee report and was SO over whelmingly in the majority at the con- vention, that unlike the Democrats, no one dared bring the subject on the tit pr at Cleveland.
 Then on the immigration question the former k1eagle went While he admitted that the present law shuts out most of the Catholic races of southern Europe, it doesn't go far enough As an instance under the present law, the majority of those eligible for admission come from Ire land and Germany, where, especially in Ireland, Catholicity is in hte major ity. There are also thousands of other British subjects eligible who are Catholics also while the English Jews and Jews of other northern European nations can also come in in large num- bers. This should be stopped and as soon as the Republican K1an controlled administration gets working, declared the kleagle, the immigration bill will be tackled and the gates shut to all those banned by the K1an, no matter if it is clearly indicated that they will make first class citizens of this free country if admitted.
 The k1eagle got hot under the col lar when some of his hearers doubted him and promptly produced documen- tary evidence to prove what he was saying. Instead of helping his cause, he stirred up a hornets nest even among those who would be acceptable of K1an membership but who are too true Americans to subscribe to any such plot

COURT AFFIRMS
 RIGHT TO PICKET IN SHOE WORKERS CASE

The right to picket was affirmed by the superior court of Massachusetts
 this week in disposing of the 16o strike cases arising out of last summers strike of the Brockton Shoe Workers union. All the cases were cleaned up by a settlement reached i'll a conference be- tween District Attorney Williams Of Brockton and representative of the union by which a number of the strikers agreed to pay fine for lolter- ig and the rest plead nolo.
 The outstanding feature of the case was the fact that Judge Albert l.. Avery made a clear cut-distinction be- tween those defendants who were pick eting and those who were lettering or were guilty of disorderly conduct. This who looked upon the proceedings as conspiracy to destroy the right of peaceful picketng which is likely to spread to other states If not checked. "The fight of the Brockton Shoe Workers to retain their legal and mo- ral right to picket was backed by the American Civil Liberties union, which this week issued the following sum- mary of the situation:
 "One hundred and seventy members of the Brockton Shoe Workers union were arrested during last summers shoe workers strike as a result of the ruling by the city solicitor of Brock ton that picketing by the strikers was illegal None of the 170 men how ever, faced the charges based on the ruling, but were convicted before Judge William J. Rowe on charges of loiter- ing, intimidation and assault and bat tery. The cases were appealed in the superior court last March and one of the defendants was found not guilty. The remaining 16o cases came up this month, twenty of them being tried by jury. Many were found guilty. Ali ter conferences with the district at torney, 1t was agreed that the others would plead guilty of lettering and other minor charges and pay fines rang ing from five to fifteen dollars, pro- vided the court would recognize the right to picket, which the union con- sidered was the chief thing at stake. The court upheld the right to picket and the Shoe Workers union is thus assured of an important victory

OF CONGRESS UNAVOIDABLE TO
 LAWS FOR LABOR

New York, July 26.-That the record of Congress on measures for the pro- lection of labor failed to meet the pledges of 1920, is the statement made in a summary of national legislation made public today by the American As sociation for Labor Legislation.
 Industrial cripp1es in the various states who are being helped back to self-sustaining occupations through fe- deral-state rehabilitation have been hard hit because the bill to continue federal cooperation was delayed until, when it did pass, 1t was too late for the passage of the necessary appropria- tions called for in the bill," the asso- ciation says
 "The report of the late U. s. coal commission, which ended its work last September, was not authorized to be printed until two days before Congress adjourned, too late to be of any as sistance in legislative action. Despite wide demand for the facts assembled at a cost to the public of about three quarters of a million dollars, the coal report was held in committee on the ground that the cost of printing, only $1700O, was to great burden. In addition to facts bearing upon relief for coal consumers the commission had gathere a great deal of valuable in formation on safety in mines which is not available elsewhere Delay in the publication of the findings ham pered efforts to bring about the adop- ton of urgently needed safety meas ures. Meanwhile coal mine disasters in which hundreds of miners lives were needlessly lost have been increas- ing to an appalling extent.

Then again another situation that IS causing both democrats and republicans a great deal of ire is the fact that the registrars on both sides have already started their deputies to enrolling the formal voting lists to be used this year althrough 1t IS yet nearly four months to election day. The state laws pro- vide that a voter shall live for at least 30 days in the district III which he will vote. With the constantly shifting pop ulation of New Haven 1t is pointed out that list made up now will neces- sarily be filled with errors through re- moval and cause no end of confusion and annoyance to the voters who hap pen to locate in some other district be- tween now and election day. The rank and file claim that the enrolment of voters should not be made before the first of October at the earliest to save the taxpayers confusion and consider able money. The registrars however, have again adopted their high handed tactics and give the voters just what they please to give them and there IS nothing to be done about it this year, the registrars being chosen at the city elections which will not come for a year hence.
 The enrolment of democrats on the republican lists is likely to have a big effect on the democratic maj jority here this fall. Thmere is no question but a 1o of Il, the failure of their attempts to enroll on their own lists and will vent their disgust by voting the republican ticket in November as well as taking part in the republican caucuses probably in September The Roraback forces, though now in control of the republi- can machine have a big fight on their hands to keep that control. They grasp ed 1t by surreptitous work while Col I. M. Ullman was abroad, and his bro- ther Louis Ulman in poor health but both Ullmans are now right on the job and have been making big strides to- ward a return to power. The Rora- back element Is reported to have al ready several democrats, disappointed because of their failure to secure off ces in the city government, working among other dissatisfied democrats and signing them up for enrolment as re- publicans.
 This action on the part of the dem ocrats may prove a boomerang because while 1t will surely affect the demo- cratic vote here this fall will not serve to get at the men they seek to be re- venged upon. Naturally the republicans care little about that but will encour- age it to ensure carrying the state for Coolidge and Dawes, with a republican state ticket throughout. The Democrats claim to have splendid chance of carrying the state this fall if those of natural democratic tendencies stick These chances will be blasted if the re- publican schme prevails so the demo- cratic real leaders are doing all to in their power to offset this condition.

The situation here in Connecticut was further complicated this week by the decision of the Communists to en- ter ticket in the fields in this state. At a meeting in New Haven this week, addressed by William z. Foster the third ticket headed by La Toilette was denounced, the communists urged to work among their socialist friends who have endorsed LaFollette and exhort them to vote against the ticket or not vote at all, so there goes whatever sup port LaFollette might have hoped to gain among the radical element in Con- necticut.
 Further the LaFollette sentiment, es- pecially among the railroad crafts whose principles are largely adopted in his platform, is sort of waning. They are beginning to realize, as The La Dor News pointed out that LaFollette cannot hope to carry this state and that their votes will be thrown away if cas, for him. The running mate selected for him, Senator Wheeler of Montana, didn't make a great hit hereabouts e. ther, it being apparent that Wheeler was sore by not being recognized as vice presidential possibility by the dem ocratic convention and had promptly jumped over the traces into the third party ranks. Reports even from the far west where Wheeler was popular, also indicate that his flop over hasn't done any good out-there either but has in fact lessened LaFollette's chances in some of the western states.
 The stand taken by The Labor News last week, in advocating support of the Democratic nominees as the best mears of realizing Labor's ambitions caused quite a furore about the state. The Waterbury Herald in its issue of Sum- day last under three column head on the first page carried the Labor News article complete with the question whe- ther or not Organized Labor here was to desert its best friend LaFollette. Ths thanks of those Labor men who ar. keen enough to see their best interests, IS due the Herald for such broadcast
 
 gotten before thousands of persons aII over Connecticut who could not he reached by the Labor Jews The Her. aid, while Independent" has had de- cidedly Republican leanings in the re cent past and there is no indication that it has turned from this viewpoint to the support of LaFollette
 In answer to its quiery as to whether Labor here was to desert the fighting westerner, 1t must be said that no such action officially has yet been taken nor can 1t be taken until September when the state Federation convention meets in Hartford There are among the most prominent Labor leaders in the state however, strong sentiments against en- dorsing the LaFollette candidacy even though many blanks Tn his platform are decidedly of Labor benefit. The assur- rances given by Nominee Davis that Labor would be fairly dealt with, and the calibre of the men he has selected to assist him in his campaign, lead to the belief that their hopes lie best with the democrats. There are 1t Is also . true some who are openly out for an endorsement of LaFollette to show the major parties that Labor is no longer to be tempered with, a huge protest vote being likely to start politicians thinking and make them more amenable to Labor's desires therefore.

8 PASSENGERS HURT
IN BAD STORM AT SEA
Thuringia Passes Through One Of
Worst Hurricanes in Years..
Captain Says,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 14--Nine
arst-class passengers-hve men and
four women-were injured when a
hurricane struck the Hamburg
American liner Thuringia in mid
Atlantic at 2 O'Clock last Sunday aft
ernoon. it became known when the
ship docked two days behind her
schedule.
None of the nine was seriously
hurt. all of the injuries being to their
heads and faces. CtUing up the bay
tonight they walked the decks with
their heads swathed in handages and
court plaster and dressing hiding
their features. The hurricane struck
after a short calm tossing the liner
about in mountainous waves. Pas
sengers on deck were sent rolling and
those in the lounge were knocked
about with pieces Of heavy furniture
loosened from their fastenings.
The gale continued twenty-four
hours, and in it's wake after a short
lull came what Capt. H. Wiehr de-
ecribed as the worst succession of
storms in his memory.
The Thuringia left Hamburg De-
cember % in a storm of ice, sleet and
snow, with the temperature a 80 be-
low zero. She brought 15S cabin and
221 third class passengers.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With

II you want to keep children's
hair in good condition. be careful
what you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsi-
fled cocoanut Oil shampoo
(Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use
for shampooirg, as this cannot
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. Two or
: three teaspoonfuls will make
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanse the hair and
scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright. fluffy, wavy, and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo at any drug
store. 1t is Inexpensive, and
few ounces will last for
months.-Advertisement.
