Painters Dispute at Condo Mast Plan, Won By Contractor
 Too Late.

Another aftermath of the printers strike at Condo Mast publishing house in Greenwich, developed this week when Judge Thomas i'll the U. S. Court, before sailing for Europe handed down decision refusing to re- yoke temporary injunction granted a painting contractor who had preyed out the writ restraining the Green Wich painters union from interfering with his contract. The contractor is $10 a day for eight hours and in sisted on paying his union men the Greenwich scale of $o for eight hours The union men protested and Green wich men who were offered places also insisted on the Jersey scale and when refused a strike was declared.
 The contractor was the J. L. Hass Co.,, Inc, and immediately sought an injunction which was granted. The union asked the injunction he dis missed and a hearing was held in Nor walk several weeks ago. Hass claimed the union insisted On the Jersey scale while he was willing to pay the Green wich scale and then he used the usual plea that his work was interfered with by threats of expulsion of men who worked at that rate and the job in terfered with.

CONNORS' AGENCY TO
 AID SERVICE MEN
Will Make Required Finger Prints on
 Bonus Papers Free of All Charges.

Organized Labor throughout Con- necticut furnished many men in the World War who are now entitled to a bonus under the recently passed law. The law however contains a require ment few of the men are familiar with, that being that on their applications they must file their finger prints and also the finger prints of their benefic- iaries in case fo death, this being to ensure the proper persons receiving the award.
 Through an offer of the Connors Detective Agency, located in the Lib erty building on Temple street, New Haven, made to the Veterans Bureau and gratefully accepted, the finger prints of all ex-service men and their benehciaries will be made on the ap plcation without an iota of cost to either. The Connors agency is the only licensed finger print expert in the state outside of the regular police de- partments. As the latter could not possibly attend to the thousands of ex service men, the free offer of the Con- norS Agency affords ready means of complying with the requirements and Organized Labor veterans should promptly avail themselves of 1t.

PLOTKIN WANTS TO
 CALL OFF LOCKOUT
But Cigarmaker Must First Prove His Sincerity Before Union Will Agree.

Beaten by the lockout he declared against his union cigar shippers and makers when the girl shippers de manded sanitary conditions in his New Haven cigar factory, B. Plotkin, manu- facturer of the Bar Harbor and I'm perial Green cigars, is now making overtures to get his union help back and call things off. The union help however, Is not anxious to make an agreement but insists that Mr. Plotkin post a cash security bond to guaran- tee his actions in the future and the safety of the agreement.
 After declaring the lockout Plotkin went to Westfeld, Mass, and had his cigars made by nen-union workers. He now has about a quarter million piled up that he has been unable to dispose of because they are without the label and therefore he is now anxious to settle. The workers, however, look upon 1t as a means of disposing of these 250,OO0 non-union made cigars in conjunction with few thousands that might bear the label and be placed side by side with the others. When the non-union stock is disposed of the union may be ready to treat with P1otkin.

The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-19

The meeting Tuesday night was at tended by more than a score of those interested in the movement, despite the fact that 1t was a hot summer night and but little notice of the gathering had been given. Enthusiasm prevailed the success of the brief course of the spring session having pointed out the benefits to be derived and host of Labor men anxious to take 1t. The Limitations necessary then disappointed many and therefore the success of the college during the next year Is already assured.
 It was decided at the meeting to start off with course in English, particu- larly its proper use in writing and speaking especially among those of foreign birth. Another course will take in parliamentary law and public speak ing, the subjects being relative to each other, while the third course to be given at the start will be on economies The first term will start about October 10 and run to September 10; the sec ond skipping the holidays and running from January 10 to March 20, and the third to run from April to about June IS, closing the college for the summer season.
 Prof. E. $. Furness of Yale, who had charge of the course last spring, will again be invited to take charge of the economics during the coming year and his aid will be asked in securing other Yale professors to teach in the courses. In addition a committee consisting of Chairman John L. Richards, John Strachan, secretary, and E. C. Hotch- kiss was appointed to seek class rooms at Yale, the University having offered such accommodation and given use of Dwight Hall at the spring term. If Yale cannot give the accommodations necessary the committee will wait on the New Haven Board of Education and seek the use of class rooms in the schools so that there will be no inter ruption in the work.

 PROMOTE SALES OF
 UNION-MADE GOODS
Will Start With Sale of Collars While Two Local Firms" Are to Be
 Investigated.

Inability of Organized Labor men ir1 New Haven to secure union made and union labelled wearing apparel, oecu- pied the attention of the Trades Coun- Gil for more than an hour on Thursday night and resulted in a decision to take the matter in their own hands, and be- ginning with the sale of unin made collars, start an active campaign that may result in union goods only store such as IS had i'll many other cities. While some firms. in New Haven do carry union made goods it was complained that they could be se- cured only when the purchaser refused to take any other. Pagers and John sons were admitted about the only two places where union goods could be had and even there 1t was impossible to ge, all the men desired.
 Collars were especially difficult to obtain and to make a start it was de cided that the Council should procure from the Bell Collar company of Al bany, strictly union firm, samples of it's collars and Trustee John McNaI1y of the Council should have charge and be authorized to place orders for the same. With this for a starter the lines may speedily be extended to all other union made apparel 1t is new found difficult to get so that in the fu- ture there will be no excuse for not having and wearing union made cloth ing.

KHAN AGAIN WORKS AMONG TROLLEYMEN
 IS UNION CHARGE
Motorman Discharged After Row With Reputed Knight" Aided
 By Friendly Claim Agent.

The Ku Klux K1an is apparently again getting in its work among the employees of the Connecticut trolley company, according to developments this week which resulted in the sum- mary discharge of a motorman, not of Klan affiliation or availability, under circumstances which are believed to be without the knowledge of pany. They will be brought to the official attention, however, as the grievance committee of the New Ha- ven Local of trol1eymen has taken hte matter up and intends to push 1t to showdown. The company officials have always been firm in their stand against union officials believe they are unaware of the facts behind the case.
 The man discharged is motorman named Ferriter, who, as his name would indicate, is not eligible for Klan membership. About two weeks ago he and another motorman, named Ban4 croft, 1t is said, met at a crossover switch and disputed as to who had right of way to pass. Ferriter had and insisted upon 1t and a row ensued in which Ferriter got the best of 1t. Now Bancroft, among his fellow trolleymen

New Haven Shop To
 Vote On Ending Strike
Referendum to Be Taken Next Week on Two Year Old Struggle But Leaders Predict That Ballot Will Be Overwhelming for Continuance Because of BardO's Attitude.

So much has been said in the rail- road inspired daily press about the New Haven Road Shopmens strike be- ing such a failure that it had been practically called off and the men seek ing a return to work individually, that the general executive board of the System Federation No. which con- trols the organization on the New Haven road lines, Is to take a refer endum vote on the question next week unions involved settle the question for themselves and to the pub1ics better knowledge. The ballots are now in preparation and the vote will be taken as soon as they can be distributed which it is expected will be by Tues day and the vote canvassed as soon as it can be returned by the men who are now scattered in many various lines of endeavor and in many places.
 The strike is now more than two years in existence; the men, 6,000 of them, having quit on July 1 two years ago. Despite the roads claim that hundreds of them early sought their old jobs back and were in many cases reinstated, more than 90 per cent of the men are still sticking staunch1y to their action. Hundreds of the younger men have secured jobs with roads who signed up on the N Y. C. agreement which the New Haven through MT. Bardo absolutely refused to consider. Hundreds of others have gotten into other kind of shops with the result that very few are now out of work and these being principally among the old CT men who do not care to travel or have managed to get along with tenn porary jobs in other lines.
 Bardo's attitude since he succeeded i'll getting an injunction against the striking shopmen has been one of bulldog tenacity in ignoring the

During the campaign before the democratic national convention had made it's selection, Davis was scored by some Labor leaders because of his connections with Wall Street interests, among them the great House of Mor- gan and Labor pretty generally be- lieved him to be impossible" from a Labor standpoint But during the con- vention, even before 1t was believed Davis had a chance of winning the nomination and while 1t was being de- c1ared that his selection was being backed by Wall Street interests, the Labor leaders present waited on him and demanded a statement as to his position. As told in The Labor News of last week he declared himself as believer in the principles of Woodrow Wilson toward Labor and the leaders went away satisfied and immediately dropped all opposition to his selection. Davis was nominated and then his attitude toward Labor was even more forcibly brought out, this time by in terests controlled by Wall street and undoubtedly with the intent of queer ing" him with the financial interests that he might personally rally to his support. Over the wires of the press associations immediately were broad casted the fact that Davis, within a very few years had been counsel for n-1- also successfully represented Mother Jones and worse than all while Coun- sellor General of the Wilson admins tration, had successfully defended the Clayton Ate before the supreme court and won big victory for Labor on 1t. Then again he was pointed out as be- ing the successful counsel for the Window Glass Makers Union Tn their fight again the glass trust and seved the union thereby. The intent of all this was to blacken Davis with the so- called "conservative" which means "anti-Labor" interests, but 1t will only react to Davis support among the or ganized workers and the unorganized also who stop to consider that through every advance of Organized Labor do their chances advance also.
 Developments of the last few hours also indicate that instead of being an tagonistic towards Labor, MT. Davis is indeed friendly The selection of Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, un- questionably one of the staunchest ad- vocates of Organized Labor in the state as his campaign manager in the eastern district, IS an indication that MT. Davis is not only fair but friendly to Labor as whole As lawyer, MT. Davis was admittedly sought and paid highly by big financial interests to rep resent them. That was solely due 10 his ability and in letter written before ever he believed he would be the nom inee for president, he declared him. self to a friend, as standing on a per sona1 pedestal from where no interest however powerful could deprive him of the rights to his private opinion or ac- ton no matter what they paid him for his services as an attorney.

newick citizens. Representatives Of
number of other communities in this
part of the state are also attending.
The convention is intended to be
melting pot of the various ideas for
road building and road improvement
with the hope that out of it will come
some sort of road program that
will serve as guide to the Legislature
about to convene as well rs to the
state highway department.
The delegation from this valley and
Kennewick is particularly interested
in having the state include in its
program an all year around road
down the Columbia river from the
Canadian line to tide water. The state
has already completed road from
the Canadian border to Wenatchee
and all that is needed now is the
link between Wenatchee and the
Columbia River highway in Oregon.
