Local, No. 1908, United Textile Work
ers Of America, the striking textile
workers of Passaic and vicinity, who
have waged an heroic battle for the
past SO weeks against the robber tex
tile barons, became affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,

announced from the beginning of the
strike by the former leadership.
with the continued backing of the
American Federation of Labor, which,
now that the strikers have been adj
nitted into the y. T. w. viii be in-
tensified a thousand fold, the strikers

to speedy and victorious close
To Ask Congressional Probe
Henry T. Hunt, vice chairman IT
the Lauck committee, through which
the A. F. Of L. affiliation was nego-
tiated, said yesterday that the work
Of the committee was not yet ended,
as it had been asked by the u T. w.
to colIaborate in further negotiations
with the mill owners.
Mr.. Hunt also said that the work
Of organizing general committee OF
100 to promote q congressional inves-
tipation Of the textile industry with
special attention to tariffs and wage
scales, will be proceeded with. u
would advise the textile barons to put
their house in order before this inves-
tigation," Mr. Hunt added, Gas they
are in no position TO go before the
public now" He pointed out as an
absurdity the "a per cent protective
tariff imposed on the American con-
Gunner through the tax on imported
textile goods, which he said, combined
with the miserably low wages paid
their workers enables the American
textile manufacturers to make 100 per
cent profits.

cept the charter Of the U. T. w. in

TO FISH IN RAY STATE
Sportsmen Outside of Msssschusetts
 Have to Pay S15.25

Differences lu the connecticut and Massachusetts game laws relative to nshing neenses are causing concern to Connecticut fishermen, particularly those m border towns. this season Massachusetts Is not issuing separate nshing licenses which require hsher- men m this state to take out a com bination hunting and fishing license which costs St525, if they wish to follow their sport into the water oi Day State
 In Connecticut nonresident fish ing license costs but $3.25, an increase or $l over the most of residents. Con neetieut sportsmen regard this as un- Iar especially in view of the fact that the trout season in the Bay State opens two weeks later than in Connec. ticut. which means that Massachusetts spertsmen may fish m Connecticut water beginning April l. An appeal has been made to the Springfield Fish and Game Association to bring influ euee to obtain q change in Massachu. sctts regulations on this question.
