The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-28

At Cleveland where Matthew Woll ard Frank Morrison presented La bor's requests, they were given but five minutes to present and explain them a practical shutting of the doors i'll Labor's face. Here, however, plenty of time was given but the Labor men, with their program complete, worked with speed and took up little more of the committees time than was neces- sary to emphasize the various matters desired treated outspokenly.
 Because of the refusal of the Re pub1icans to include plank conceding the absolute right of labor to organize and their standing silent on the in- junction issue, plus, the demands of the National Association of Manufactur- CTS that labor unions be made legally responsible, most emphasis upon these two points was laid.
 Renewed resort to the injunction and growing tendency for employers to demand and the courts to grant, more sweeping injunctions in labor cases, brought the injunction issue to the front. While the discussion was on, 1t was pointed out, the striking iron workers were fighting the issuance of an injunction which would deprive them of the right to consult counsel, and hold the organization, its mem- bers and its allies liable to damages of $5,000,0OO
 In the discussion the blanks favor ing repeal of the labor sections of the Esch-Cummins law, amendment of the VoBtead act, and the needs of caring for postal employees were dwelt upon.
 Labor is strenuously opposed to the klan and supporte dthe move to de nounce that organization in the plat form. It insisted on endorsement of the anti-child labor amendment now to be put before the people and at the conclusion was given assurance by members of the platform committee that its desires would be carefully con- sidered and given support in SO far as possible to do so. From the reports coming out from the committee on the draft of the platform, it, appears as If J the Democrats are to keep to their promise in the platform at least.
 Labor naturally had deep interest in the nominations and at the hearing given told the committee that unless progressive candidates were nomin- ated for both president and vice-pres- ident it need not be expected that Labor will retain faith in the party of Jefferson any more, than 1t now has faith in the misnamed party of Lin- coin. It was not an ultimatum but warning that on the conventions ac- tions depended largely what Labor would do at the conference at Cleve- land July 4 of the Progressive Po1iti- cal Conference where the question of third party would be decided.
 Among the railroad crafts interested in the convention McAdoo had much | support but Governor Al Smith has good backing among many of the other crafts. Labor Is absolutely op- posed to John w. Davis because of his corporation connections and the back ing of the non- union mining interests of West Virginia.
 Officers of the State Federations of New York, New Jersey and Connec- ticut Tuesday entertained the labor delegates to the convention with trip to Coney Island and a dinner at the

While the tro11eymen asked for 75 cents an hour originally there was little hope of their getting 1t. The price was made so high, however, as to allow dickering and the company tried its hand at the same game also by proposing a reduction of three cents an hour from the 5 cents maxi mum prevailing. Then the company, when the men rejected any such pro posal proposed the existing scale stand but again the men rejected the proposition at referendum vote. The company then made a tentative offer of a one cent increase which was also promptly rejected and it looked as if arbitration would be the result.
 Neither side was keen for this method, 1t having proved too costly and long drawn out in the two recent arbitrations. The trolleymen were not so much averse to going to board with their claim, especially after the decision on the Springfield and Wor- cester roads where a rate of 6S cents an hour was granted with an eight hour day and other conditions desired by the working carmen.
 Further conferences were held by the executive committee of the con- ference board with Manager John K. Punderford and proposal of 60 cents an hour was suggested and put up to the men in a referendum. This was taken all over the state on Tuesday, the result boiled on Wednesday and communicated to the company the same day and the scale signed by both sides Only a few more than 300 of the 2,100 tro1leymen of the state voted against the 60 cents proposed.
 The outcome is complete victory for the tro1leymen, accomplishing as 1t for for four years, the restoration of the rate paid them in 1920. During the war while everyone was receiving high wages except trolleymen and postal employees, the trolleymen were advanced only so meagrely that they were barely able to live under the pre- vailing high prices. Just as the war was over the men succeeded In getting a scale of 60 cents an hour. The men enjoyed it for only brief period for the next year the company reduced 1t to 54 cents and the year following it was cut to g cents an hour maximum.
 A year ago the state conference board made a determined stand for the restoration of the 60 cent wage and succeeded finally in getting an increase of five cents an hour making the rate 57 cents. The company early this year raised fares claiming the increase granted the trolleymen was the main cause for so doing. The men disputed this and then went out for the game as we'll as the name and this week were successful.
 The working conditions proposed by both sides were accepted at the refer endum on June 13 so now everything is set on the Connecticut lines until next June at least.

That Richland Center
Race
(By A. H. Rotzoll)

(By A. HI. RotzolD
On Labor Day, you've heard them
say,
A race will be pulled off
At that small town, we'll do it
But some there are who scott.
It's this way, see? A car tharell be
That's built for Speed and Power
And II. H. Grub, in his old tub
Wishing for a showers
In my White Steed, fashioned for
speed,
You'll see me swiftly start,
Whihe down the track, behind my
back,
Golden Flyers lost a part.
Hes far, far back, beside the
track"
You'll hear the people shout.
At that SHARP curve" he lost, his
nerve
And stopped to look about.
Perhaps a rose at that spot grows
He's seeing many blows,
Maybe it's true. they're a purple
niue,
Adjoining the end of a nose.
Beside the wreck, eating dust by
the peck,
Sits someone with feelings sore.
oh, yes, 1 guess, it's his recess"
The race is surely DER.
"A big White Car, on ahead far,
OF a long streak of dust
Leaves far behind, in, that dusty
grind,
The Golden Flyer, gone bust.
