INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT OPPOSED BY LABOR MEN
Mass. Branch of A. F. of l.. Today Adopts Resolutions-Bill For
 Legislature.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. LPl-A state branch, American Federation of Labor, in its convention session today went on record as opposing the individual contracts which the com mittee on resolutions declared is "a contract which is intended to con- pei men to surrender their rights as American citizens as the price of keeping their families from suffering and want"
 The convention without opposition instructed its executive council to present bill to the next Massachu- setts legislature providing that such contracts, wherein workers under take not to join labor organizations, shall be declared void as against public policy.
 The convention went on record as strongly opposing any change in the veterans permanent law and while not approving incompetency in any veteran would give him first recog- milton in civil service. Speakers launched an attack against the Massachusetts Civil League which 1t declared was causing misrepresen- tation to be made that organized la Dor was against veterans of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars. Speakers were allowed to take the floor to reaffirm labors stand in fa- vor of the national child labor law amendment and continuance was urged of the fight to prevent the en- poyment of children in industry in the state.

WOMEN IMMODEST, SAYS VISITING CLERGYMAN
Philadelphia Minister, Speaking At Stony Brook, Assails Hand
 Purse WardrObes'

Stony Brook, L. l.. Aug. 5.-The honesty of young people and the immodesty of womens attire were attacked by the Rev. Roy J. Brum- baugh, Presbyterian minister, of Philadelphia, speaking before the conference on evangelical faith in session here.
 Tt has been proven that 64 per cent of the young people of America today are dishonest" the Rev. Mir. | 3rumburgh said. "These facts were gained through tests made by clerks in different stores. Young people of the present day demand super. excitement and then try vainly for something that will give them a still greater thrill.
 Young women in most cases are | immodest and are able to carry their wardrobe around in their hand
 purses. It is 6 well known fact that i immodesty leads to immortality. All of the young boys with whom I have
 come in contact are profane in their speech. Of course, temptations have
 multiplied a great deal in the last
 20 years, although we find that those who survive are the highest
 type of young people ever devel-
 oped."
 Mir Brumbaugh also assailed the i Y. M. c. A. schools, declaring that
 they are absolutely not evangelical
 and that they are ruining the faith
 of all their students.

INVITES VISITOR TO
 LEAVE CITY AT ONCE
Chamber of Commerce Secretary Ac- cords Scant Welcome to J. M. Waite, Who Doesn't Wait.

When John Mansfield Waite, ad- dress "En Route" called at Cham
 Der of Commerce this morning and Iapplied for the position as mem
 bership secretary" he was invited
 by Secretary Ralph L. Gould to take the first train out of the city, and as Ia matter of advice. to continue un- til he was out of New England. The reason for Mir. Gould's treat
 ment to his visitor is the fact that the New England Association of Commercial Secretaries has notified
 Mir. Gould that a man named John
 Mansfield Waite and characterized in a broadcast as Clever but crook cd" and who is said to admit that he obtains money under false pre- lenses, was headed this way.
 According to the information re- ceived by the local Chamber of Com merce, Waite was arrested four times in New York and has a charge now pending in Port Chester, ac- cused of obtaining money under false pretcnses.
 His game is to become attached to a Chamber of Commerce as a membership secretary on commits
 sion, or failing in this, to represent himself to merchants as being with ! the Chamber. and on the strength
 of rather pleasing personality get some merchant to vouch for him at a bank, where he cashes a check which comes back later marked, No funds" He is alleged to have admitted to MT. Gould that these charges were true.
 | Waite is described as man weighing about 14O pounds, iron
 grey hair, short mustache, grey eyes, shoulders slightly stopped, with an
 English appearance and slight ac- icent.
 | The Chamber has also been warn , ed against a man named P. A. Ryan who is said to be coming this way,
 who is alleged to represent himself
 as being of the Dupont Ryan Paint l Co. The F. I. DuPont De Nemours
 Co.,. has issued a statement that he is not as represented.

ARSON CONNECTS
 GET NO NEW TRIAL
Casper and Fienberg Must Serve
 Prison Sentences

Bridgeport, Aug. 5 P)-Moe Cas- per and Harris Fienberg Of New York, whe last September were each sentenced to the state prison for from two to five years after jury returned verdict in superior court convicting them of having set fire to their F. and c. Cloak and Suit company store here, are not en- titled to a new trial as requested and must go to prison in accordance with an opinion of the supreme court or errors made known today Casper and Fienberg are now at lib- erty in bonds of s7,500 each.
 A ruling of importance referring to the rights of accused persons who take the witness stand is pro- pounded by the supreme court in the Casper-Fienberg case.
 Pleas of guilty were entered when the store proprietors were arraigned on charges of having set fire with intent to defraud insurance com panies. Both took the witness stand but their testimony was narrowed within such limits that they actualy were only character witnesses for themselves and gave no testimony directly concerning the fire.
 When they were cross examined by States Attorney William H. Con- ley there was a contest when the states attorney asked questions re- ferring to the claimed incendiary blaze, which defense counsel oppos- ed on the ground that they were outside the scope of the cross exam ination and tended to prejudice the jury by emphasizing that the accus- ed were not testifying as to the facts Of the fire.
 Then, in his arguments to the fury, the states attorney commented upon the failure of Casper and Fienberg to testify as to the facts materitl to the fire. A new trial was asked on the claim that Judge George E. Hinman erred in allowing States Attorney Comley to make such comment.
