RURAL CARRIERS
 HOLD OUTING AT
 BRANFORD POINT

MT. James H. Smith, State Organizer was the principal speaker at the outing of the Connecticut Federation of Rural Carriers held at Branford Point, last Sunday. MT. Smith was introduced by State President, J. Keefe, of Middle town, and Tn his talk showed a keen appreciation of the working conditions affecting the rural carriers.
 That the carriers were obliged 10 pur- chase their own conveyances, pay for their upkeep and cover districts where the roads were almost impossible were indisputable facts and the meagre sal ary paid for such work left the carrier in rather drastic straits, 10 supply his family with the ordinary comforts of life.
 In reply to a question propounded by MT. Smith most of those present ad- mitted that they were either earning money on the outside, or were receiving assistance from other sources. He em- phasized the necessity of organization and athl1at1on with the A. F. of L. and pointed to the wonderful campaign that had been carried on the the affiliated bo- dies and the A. F. of L. in behalf of salary legislation. He also commended the Federation of Rural Letter Car rIers to place every congressman and senator on record as to their stand on the vetoed salary measure when con- gress convenes in December.
 A letter from Congressman P. B. O'Sullivan was read urging the men to continue their fight for a salary in crease and assuring them of his un- qualified support in behalf of same
 Carriers and their families were pre- sent from all over the state and 1t looks as though the future will find the pos tai employees an organized unit, with in the ranks of the American Fedora ton of Labor.

Hunt Wins Nomination

Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. L.-Despite strong opposition by copper barons and other reactionary forces Governor Hunt has been renominated in the primaries of his party.
 Governor Hunt came into the public eye in 1915 when he refused to admit gunmen and strikebreakers into the state. Copper miners in the Metcalf- Morenci district suspended work be- cause union men were discharged. The employers refused to arbitrate and attempted to oust the governor by the recall method. This was re- jected by the people of Arizona and strike settlement was reached.

CLARENDON, Va, March 11.-A

Arlington county was started yester-
day, when the board Of supervisors,

courthouse, authorized Capt. John 7.
Tallman, superintendent of roads,
who, at the time, was also named by
the board as county sanitary en-
gineer without any additional COM

information as to types of construc-
tion and cost of such a project.
There has been "a long-left need for
new Jail in the country. The pres
ent building was condemned as a
penal Institution three years ago, and
the ease with which several prisoners
recently made their escape further
indicated the :nadequacy Of the struc-
ture.
Its inadequacy was accentuated yes
terday when the attention of the
board was called to the fact that its
capacity is overtaxcd with prisoners.

said, is divided into three comra rt-
