The endorsement matter was opened by introduction of resolution from
 Elm Lodge of Machinists calling for the endorsement of La Toilette and Wheeler and when those supporting 1t saw that because of the hot night they
 were in complete control they lost no
 time in rushing 1t to the front Imme-
 diately on its being read Delegate
 Fitzgerald moved it's adoption and at
 tempted to shut off any delegate by a
 gag" motion, which, however, was
 ruled out of order by President Smith
 because several delegates were on their feet demanding to be heard. Right then and there the c1amor started,
 Fitzgerald insisting the shut-off motion be put. He lost out, however, and a substitute resolution was offered by former President I. M. Ornburn to de-
 fer action on the subject until the local
 unions had opportunity to take 1t up
 and inform their delegates as to their wishes. This the clique promptly voted down by vote of 17 to 10.
 Ralph A1fano, representative of the Barbers' union, then rose to protest against the endorsement resolution, de- claring that while he might personally be in favor of 1t, he was not sent to the Council to air his personal views but was sent to represent his union and demanded that his union be given an opportunity to discuss the matter before he was compelled to vote either for or against any such endorsement. He was warmly seconded by several other delegates amid a tumult of shouts from the clique backing the endorse ment plan which became Bedlam when MT. Ornburn blunt1y asked If those be- hind the move were afraid to permit the local unions to talk the matter over beforehand.
 Delegate Fitzgerald time after time interrupted the speakers with points of order and insistence on the railroad ing of the resolution. He became per sonal in his remarks at times and had to be called to order by the chair on several occasions especially when some of these remarks were directed plainly at the president When order was finally restored somewhat John w. Murphy, delegate of the Cigarmakers, managed to get hearing and objected to the resolution going through as be- ing rushed and denounced the tactics of those behind 1t. He was hooted by that side of the house and, having an- other meeting to attend to finished by his vote against it and then left the hall. During the remainder of
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-08-09

the session speakers behind the en-
 dorsement slammed Murphy and his
 remarks right and left and got away
 with 1t because Murphy had gone
 Fitzgerald finally .calmed down
 enough to take the floor himself in order and began denunciation of the
 which, as ward chairman he Is an in tegra1 part. He referred to remarks by previous speakers that through friends
 among the democrats in state and city
 councils Labor had been able to make
 advances attacking Mayor FitzGerald
 and the administration by declaring that no matter what might be the case elsewhere there hasn't been a munich pal job in New Haven done by any thing but "scab" labor and that so far las Labor is concerned here 1t might just as we'll throw its votes away again
 by voting for La Toilette as the
 democrats NJ. J. Lowden of the Iron
 Workers and John Strachan of Carpen- ters 7o, supp orted him in this argu- ment. Fitzgerald neglected to mention that he and his organization received the benefit of what is perhaps the most beneficial piece of Labor legislation ever enacted in New Haven from the present administration, that being a law requiring the examination and licensing of stationary engineers of all kinds, the placing of his own selection granting of power of such board to call in the powers of the police to enforce their rulings, all of which has to the great advantage of the engineers union.
 Delegates Driesen and Pede of the the former a republican deputy registrar, supported the resolu- ton for endorsement and joined in the general denunciation of those opposing it. Senator Tone, elected as a demo- crat two years ago, threw his party affiliations to the winds and in a lengthy speech, which included the reading of the program of principles adopted by the Cleveland gathering, declared himself out and out for 1t. He, however, naive1y intimated that Labor's friends who might be nomin- ated by the democrats could be sup ported on the third ticket by securing their nomination also by that faction It is understood that Tone is out for the congressional nomination and had been gunning for the democratic desig- ation. Recently it developed that he had very little chance of getting that,

By International Labor News Service.
 Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 9.-Great foundations, including the Carnegie Foundation, are bitterly assailed Ill a report made today by the Librarians Union to the American Federation of Labor. The report was referred to the standing committee on education com posed of George w. Perkins, Matthew Wol1, John P. Frey and Charles Baine. This committee was instructed to in vestigate the charges found in the re- port and to bring in set of findings for final action.
 The charges are, briefly:
 1-The Carnegie libraries are not controlled by the municipalities in which they exist and to which they have been given.
 2-That such libraries are controlled by boards of trustees in no sense re- sponsible to the people, but appointed generally by the Foundations them selves, or with their approval.
 3-Such control, under the terms of the Carnegie contracts, is perpetual.
 4HPublic moneys, appropriated by cities and states, pass out of control of the givers immediately upon their donation and are administered by the Foundations or their trustees.
 5-That there is rapidly coming into being a system under which only books approved in a certain manner may be placed on Foundation library shelves and that amounts to a censorhsip and is so intended.
 6-That an unjust certihcation of librarians is coming into practice and is being urged generally as law of the future; this system exists by law now in three states.
 The librarians presented their report after long study of the situation and

The complete text of the "conc1u- sIons and recommendations" for the endorsement of the candidates and platform of Senators La Toilette and Wheeler, as adopted by the executive council of the American Feoeration of Labor and made public follows:
 "The executive committee of the American Federation of Labor na= tional non-partisan political campaign committee presented 1abor's proposals to the Republican convention
 "The Republican convention gave labor's representatives brief and curt hearing. The Republican platform ignores entirely the injunction issue. It fails to deal with labor's right to organize or the right of the workers even in self defense, collectively to cease work. That platform sustains the railroad labor board, with all that 1t means i'll the direction of govern mental coercion of wage earners. It fails to recommend the ratification by the states Of the child labor constitu- tional amendment.
 The Republican convention nomi- mated candidates unacceptable to labor
 Its candidate for vice-ptesident is one of the most outspoken enemies of labor and is the founder of an organ ization dedicated to the task of writing into all political platforms blanks call @ha cIO ganization which also encouraged and supported the Daugherty injunction against the railroad shopmen.
 "Iabor's representatives submitted to the Democratic convention identical proposals to those submitted to the Republican convention. At the con- vention an extended hearing was granted The Democratic platform pledges that party to legislation to regulate hours and conditions of all la bor, a proposal against which the American Federation of Labor has struggled throughout its whole history. It is silent as to the injunction. It does not meet the railroad labor board issue. On that point 1t is so equivo- cal that the enemies of labor may well feel that their desires will be met. It, too, fails to recommend the ratihca- ton by the states of the child labor constitutional amendment.

Thus, says an exchange, the chimney
swift. which before houses with chin
neys were built, lived and built its
nests In hollow trees, now usually finds
chimneys more satisfactory and inf
nitely safer.
The barn swallow, which formerly
built it's nest on a ledge on the side
Of some cliff or cave, a situation still
sometimes utilized In the wilder parts
Of the country, now generally makes
use of the rafters of barns as Offer
Ing better protection both from the
elements and his enemies.
The natural nesting place Of the
phoebe is narrow ledge on the face
Of some cliff, but the greater majority
now find that bridges. outhouses and
other man-made structures offer more
advantageous situations. and pair is
rarely found occupying the former
site. The martins and wrens, which
once nestled In hollow trees exclusive

kindly human beings when they can
