 GATH ANNIVERSARY
Printers From All Over State With International Officers Help
 Local AZ Make Merry.

AOCdt NO. ~s ypOSfapEliC9I CnlOn of New Haven, celebrated its 64th
 anniversary last Sunday with a
 smoker and general good time at Red Mems hall that i'll all respects kept up the traditions of the New Haven print ers of being royal entertainers. Guests were present from Hartford, Bridge port, Springfield, New York, Meriden, Boston and other places and with sev- eral representatives of the executive board of the international, made up a gathering that packed the large halls.
 President John G. McGowan acted as chairman and Secretary E. R. Ot- larson as master of ceremonies, with George Sanders, Charles V. Symon and John P. Murphy attending to the commissary department in which there was plenty and of much variety that added much to the gaiety of the occas- ion.
 The program opened early in the afternoon with an address by former Senator Fred L. Neebe of Meriden, member of the New Haven local for many years. He was followed by John w. Murphy, president of the New Ha- agent of the Cigar1nakers' union, after which President P. F. O'Meara of the Connecticut Federation of Labor made short address.
 The international affairs of the typos were then gone into in spirited addresses by Second Vice President William R. Trotter of Canada, and James Mcbride, president of the Bos- ton union and member of the execu- tive board on one hand, and by pas, International President James M. Lynch of Syracuse on the other Vice President Trotter upheld the present administration of the international, un- der which he has been aenominated, while MT. Lynch took issue with its doinas and he being also nominated for the presidency again, the assem- bGed printers were given much en- hghtenment on present conditions within the organization.
 Following these short addresses of congratulations were made byl Presi- dent John J. O'Neil of the Bridgepor. local, President Rogers of Hartford, President Hammell of Springfield and Fred Cornell representing Big Six dele gation of New York. The latter gave some very pertinent statistics about the pending negotiations between the New York pub1i ishers and the printers which Vice President Trotter had said were on the verge of wa1kout next Monday. If that is so Mr. Cornell de- clared then the rank and file didn't know 1t and his trip to New Haven the information he had received. The negotiations are now being conducted by the general executive board the To- cal committee and publishers having deadlocked.
 During the afternoon and between the speeches an orchestra furnished. excellent music while quartets, duets and so1oists furnished other good en- tertainment. The quartet composed of Messrs. Moran, Rosaro, Hull and O'Connel1, accompanied by Joseph His1op, was especially fine, while duets by Messrs Rosaro and O'Connell and solos by Mr. DahImeyer. Mr. Moran, MT. Hull and MT. His1op also added to the enjoyment. An exhibition of club swinging by Edward Bennetto of Bridgeport and fencing contest be- tween Ernest Hintz and Fred Spittz1er of New Haven was a thriller.
 There were more than 300 present during the afternoon and the celebra- tion lasted far into the evening with impromptu choruses accompanied by Senator Neebe, making the welkin ring until a late hour. Luncheon was avail able at all times and all in all the celebration was one of which the local can well be proud.
