called by the union. AS soon as LneSe
ten workers were fired, a committee
representing each department of the
shop went down to the boss, telling
him that the workers of this shop de-
mand the reinstatement of the fired
workers, and after the boss refused to
do so, the union called this shop out
in a strike. The boss of the Franklin
Sweater Mills is doing his best to
break this strike. The first day of the
strike, there were already police and
detectives in front of the building,
trying to provoke the workers on the
picket, line. The strikers understood
the trick of the lackeys of the bosses
and did not pay any attention to the
provocations.
On the second day Of the strike,
when the strikers we're carrying signs
telling the workers Of that shop that
a strike was going on, and requesting
them not to scab, the police arrested
three strikers for carrying these ban
ners. The strikers are well organized
and will demand their rights to carry
the signs. The spirit of the workers
is running high.
A meeting of the union was held
where the strikers were addressed by
the speakers from the Federated Tex
, tile Unions, Carpet Weavers', and Ma
chinists' unions. The first speaker
Brother Baker, a member Of the Ma
chinists Union, in his speech to the

Workers Want Union.

Daily workers of nonunion shops
come into the Office and ask the union
to unionize their shops as the condi-
lions in their shops are unbearable.
Workers are fired without cause.
Prices are cut and in most instances
the workers de not know their price
until they receive the pay envelopes,
and the amount contained is so small
that there is an adopted proverb in
the nonunion dress shops on pay day
that, To-day we get our token"
In some shops the workers are I'M
der worse conditions than under slav-
cry. The spy system is highly in op-
GRAFTON. No worker can speak to an
other without fear of being detected
by some spy employed by the boss
When the new worker starts to work
he must give his entire life's history
and must not by any means indicate
sympathy towards organized labor
and if, god forbid, anyone is detected
kicking against the low prices they
have received, they Immediately lose
their job and are blacklisted thruout
the city, and left without chance tC
sell their labor power even for the
miserable prices they pay in nonunior
shops.
This of course is not one-tenth Of
the prevalent conditions in the dress
industry and the union is now deter
mined to stop it just as they are doing
in the city of New York right now. II
I; that city they have in the last month
and a half unionized more than one
half of the non-union shops, and WI
expect to do the job here just as fas
if not faster, than it has been dom

ASK COOLIDGE: AID
IN FALL PRIMARIES
Senators, Moved by Defeat
of Mckinley on Court,
Fear Outcome.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Defeat of William Mckinley for the
Republican nomination to succeed
himself as Senator from Illinois is
going to mean more to President
Coolidge than the mere loss of the
services of regular and loyal sup
porter of the administration in the
upper house of Congress.
In political circles here the feeling
is expressed that the President must
assume some responsibility for the
defeat last week in the Illinois pri-
mar:es because of Senator Mckinley S
support of the Presidents World
Court policy. Aside from this, it is
Contended, the President also must
feel more than ordinarily appre-
hensiVe about the political fortunes
of several other Republican Senator's
who supported the World Court and
who must now go before the people
of their respective States TO be re-
turned to the Senate.
Although some political intimates Of
the President attribute Senator Nc
Kinley's defeat to local troubles and to
a fight among Illinois Republicans
for control of the State machine, and
not to his support of the World Court
protocol, there are those in the Presl'
dents confidence who think diff
ferently. Among these are some OF
those Republican senators who must
run the gauntlet of a primary this
Summer and an election next Novem-
ber, and it is known that these sena-
tors are considerably worried since
the outcome in the Illinois primaries.
Feel Coolidge's Power.
These Senators, very naturally, are
hoping that the President will do
something to assist them materially
in their forthcoming battles. They
argue that the President is more
popular than ever before with the
public. and because of this and other
powerful influences at his command
he could easily be helpful to them. 1t
goes without saying that more than
one Of them feels shaky and gloomy
since the adverse response the Re
publican voters of Illinois made to
Senator McKinley's appeal for another
term.
1t is known that the President has
received a hint from some of his Off
cial confidants of this feeling of un-
easinesS among these Republican
Senators, and of their hope that he
will give them some form of support
1t is understood, however, that the
President has made no promises. On
the contrary, he is represented as
being inclined to keep his hands off.
On more than one occasion the Presl
dent has stated that it would be high
ly improper and urethical for him
to interfere in a primary, and as for
any personal activity on his part in
the elections. well, he has a very
strong reminder before him in the
form of the political blunder made in
1918 by President Wilson when he
appealed to the electorate in the In
terests of the Democratic candidates
for the Senate and House.
Call Him Responsible.
However, this reported stand or
the part of President Coolidge is by
no means to the liking OF the group
of World Court Republican Senators
who are now facing difficulties. Foi
the present they are saying little, al
least not within earshot of the Elk
ecutive, but there is an impression
being gained that they intend t.
make themselves plain later on. Ac

cording to the extent of this feeling
among Republican Senators, this is
not mere cloak room gossip The
contention is that the Presidents in
sistence caused more than one OF his
party to rally about his World Court
banner. despite warnings and threats
from the folks back home that the
World Court was not popular, and
that their vote for 1t would surely
injure their chances for reelection.
Furthermore these Senators will
make their appeal not only from n
sentimental viewpoint, nut from a
strictly political one. They will be
prepared in making their advances to
the Executive for support. to give him
figures and facts. First of all they
will remind him that of the 32 Sena-
tors who come up for reelection next
November, 26 are Republicans, and
under ordinary circumstances without
anything else figuring in the outcome,
it will he pointed out, it is a gigantic
task the party is facing to maintain
its control of the Senate. In this line
of argument they will be supported
by national and State leaders. who
it is known, are considerably alarmed
about the po"~ibe loss of the Senate
next November.
His Answer in Doubt.
In other worGs. the President is to
be told that he must help. 1t is point
ed out that President Coolidge's s
hold on the American people is tre-
mendous, and that this popularity.
should be used to some practical ad-
vantage next Fall. Republicans in
discussing the senatorial political stu.
alton, while predicting that this de-
mand is to be made upon the Presi-
dent. are not in a position now to
say who is going to lay the matter
before him, nor will they attempt
to make any prediction as to his
answer.
Already the President has been ad-
vised of the predicament in which
Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania finds
himself, as the campaign for the Re-
publican primaries in his State looms.
During the past week the President
was assured that Pepper, who stood
Loyalty behind dhe administrations
World Court banner, is facing pos
sible defeat at the primaries. 1t is
understood further that while being
advised of the Pennsylvania situation.
he was asked if it were not possible
for him to do something to enhance

Ienroot' Also Wondering.

Another Senator who is facing Seri.
Gus trouble, principally because of the
World Court issue, is Senator Lenroot
of Wisconsin. 1t was he who. despite
the opposition in his State to what
they refer to out there as foreign
entanglements, led the World Court
fight on the Senate floor for the
President. He was at the helm from
start to finish The President is
known to have been profuse in his
thanks and praise when the fight was
won. Friends of Lenroot now are
wondering if the Presidents S appre-
citation is going to end there.
Now that Senator Brookhart has
been unseated and has announced his
intention of opposing Senator Cum
Minis for the Republican nomination
for the Senate. Republicans in
Washington are also wondering If
the President will do anything to
assist Cummins. Brookhart is ex.
pected to include the World Court
among his ajor issues and the feel
ing here is that Senator Commins is
going to need all the help he can get
if he is to survive the Brooknact at
tack and maintain his seat.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, Repub-
lican leader of the Senate, voted for
the World Court protocol, hut the
word received here is that thi; IS not
geoing to affect seriously his chances
to come back.
There are others IN thai group OF
Republican Senators whose terms
expire next March who are laying
claim to help from the President
among them being Senator Butler of

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BASEBALL

Everything is psychological now adays-even baseball. Some of this psychology was evident in New Brit ain among the teeming throng which parked itself before the Herald's playograph.
 The crowd seems to like the win ner regardless. The same young sters who cheered vociferously dur ing previous games when the St. Louis team won it's pair were equal ly vociferous when Babe Ruth started to bat" and the New York Yankee. came to life with a vic- tory.
 For a time, In fact, 1t looked as 1, the preponderating sentiment in New Britain was with the St. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps this was natural and due to the sympathy which was showered upon them for the lusty winning of their first pennant since the present organization of major league baseball.
 But just as soon as that Babe Ruth thing started the psychology was all the other way. Yes, the world does like a slugger.

Ac- cording to newspaper reports, the accident in this city yesterday was due to a broken verandah railing, through which the child fell. A more likely cause of disaster can scarcely be imagined.

GENTLE ADVICE TO GOVERNOR GENERAL

The papers the other day car ried a short item regarding the arrival in Canada of a new gover- nor general, one Niscount Willing don. Since that time several thou sands of newspapers have com mented upon the fact. We hasten 10 be of this number, only our com ment is to be slightly different.
 It makes no difference 10 Canada whether she has a general or lacks this diplomatic connection with the British Empire. His duties are conspicuous by their compara- tive nothingncss. Canada is com pletely self governing and the of- flee of governor general merely pro- vides a soft job for member of the English aristocracy.
 Lord Byng, the former governor general, failed 10 watch his step and got tangled with Dominion politics. greatly to his chagrin and the ad- vantage of the Liberal party, which won the recent national election as a result.

 Now if Lord Willingdon is wise he will not follow in the footsteps of Lord Byng, but will strictly con- fine his activities to presiding at re- captions and pouring tea.
