Fire Dept Members
Severely Criticized
Patronize Out Of Town and
Non-Union Labor
Unions Charge Ingratitude

Two members of the Hartford Fire
Department have a strange sense of
responsibility to the city from which
they draw their pay, and still
stranger sense of appreciation toward
union labor, which has done so much,
in season and out, for the welfare of
the Departments personnel, according
to report made to the Structural
Building Trades Alliance of Hartford
and Vicinity at it's meeting of March
6. The men involved are Edward K.
Anderson and Thomas A. Mulhall and
their business dealings became known
through action of Hartford's building
inspector in condemning a shipment
of lumber which they intended to use
in houses to be built for them on
Victoria Road.
Out of Town and Non-Union.
The two firemen ordered materials
for mail order houses from a Chicago
firm. Not content with side-tracking
local industry to this extent, they
contracted with New Britain build
ing firm, Vaccario & Chic, for the
erection; the plumbing and heating
work went to another New Britain
firm. Both the general contractor
and the plumbing contractor are nom
union, following the Open Shop
practlce OF paying their workers
lower than union rates of pay. This
policy contrasts sharply with the Fire
Department mems insistence that
their own pay be left unslashed, a
policy that has had the whole-hearted
support of Organized Labor in Hart
ford and elsewhere.
Edward J. Cody Also Offends.
Another case has come to the at

AIR PILOTS PICKET
AIRPORT BY PLANE
Pay Cut Causes a Fly-0ut

Chicago, Protesting a 40 per
cent. wage cut, twenty-five air pilots,
members of the Air Line Pilots Asso-
citation and affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, walked out
on the Century Air Lines, which are
controlled by E. L. Cord, the manu-
facturer Of Cord and Austin automo-
biles. Complaints are that Cord has
come into the air transportation bust
ness after the pioneering has been
done and is now taking, advantage of
lighted anyways, beacons, radio and
other developments of other lines to
reduce fares to cut-throat proportions.
The striking pilots are flying a plane
over the Chicago terminal of the lines
to advise travellers that strike is on.
1t is the first air picket on record, as
we'll as the first air strike in history

Speaker Says Business
Thinks Some Doles @. K.

Cincinnati, O.-Speaking to the
local Machine Tool Manufacturers
Association, Sam S. Wyer, Pittsburgh
economist and fuel research expert,
declared that business men think
nothing of doles-when they get them,
instead of labor, and that no business
man thinks it communistic to dip into
the taxpayers pockets for Especial
subsidies"
He warned that such policies, if
long pursued under existing condi-
tions, will undo all the work of
leaders Of democracy or the past 100
years.
DR.. John R. Commons, professor
of economics, University of Wiscon-
sin, addressing a business mems
group on "The Workers Outlook"
said that labor's status is now in the
hands of bankers and that the latter
occupy the unique position of being
able to "make or break" the present
social order by unwise moves.
"Bankers lent themselves to enor-
nous Invitations and subsequent defla-
tons of Values" said DR.. Commons.
FThe deflation deprive the producers
Of their property and throw them
from the ranks of employed into the
ranks Of charity seekers"

Portland Bakery Renews
Agreement with Unions

Portland, Ore-The Wonder Bread
Bakery, one of Portland's largest
bakeries, which has for some time
past operated as a strictly union shop,
has renewed the agreement with or
gained labor, with neither a pay re-
duction nor change in hours or work
ing conditions.
The agreement assures steady en-
plcyment under good working condi-
lions for about rs employees who are
members of the Bakery and Confec-
tionery Workers and the Bakery
Salesmen's unions.
"Our company believes in paying
fair wages and that the baking in
dustry should observe the shorter
work day." said J. S. Goldie, vice
president of the bakery. cit has been
my observation covering many years
in the bakery business that where
conditions of the workers are de-
mcralized by low wages, and long
hours, the employers find their bust
ness in the same condition. We be-
lieve in dealing with organized labor
as is evidenced by the fact that we
have for long time operated the
Wonder Bread Bakery with a union
crew and that we have just renewed
the agreement"

USE 1HEPEN,
URGES ECAN
Secretary Asks Unionists To
Rouse Congress To Needs
Wants Building Activity

The thing that will aid the tagging
building industry in Connecticut more
than any other single practicable eff
fort, according to word received this
week from the office of the Secretary
of the Connecticut Federation of
Labor, is an avalanche of letters from
interested mechanics and their friends
to members of Congress in Washing
ton. eff every unemployed building
trades mechanic in the state would
write letter to his Representative
and Senators in Washington to speed
up projected work on federal building
projects in Connecticut, the effect
would be important and immediate"
said Secretary John J. Egan in this
connection.
49,, Urges Immediate. Action
While complete list of all federal
building projects in the state is not
available, every unemployed mechanic
knows those that are within his own
area and it would not be difficult
for him to mention them by name
when writing to the Congressman,
the Federation's statement asserts.
The statement also reminds unionists
that this is election year and that
appeals sent in such years have been
known to have a stimulating effect
on those within whose hands the
power to get action lies. There is
scarcely town in the state that is
not in line for a considerable amount
Of work for it's unemployed from fed
eral projects. The time for this re-
lief to do it's most effective work is
now, not six months or a year from
now, when families may have been
separated and irreparable harm done.
The statement from Federation head
quarters ends with the injunction,
write to your Congressmen-and do
it NOW"

WRITER PREDICTS UNION LABOR
WILL FINISH POST OFFICE JOB
Former Treasury Department Official Advises Central Labor
Union Coath & Goss Can't Risk Big Loss

In letter from a former officer
of the United States Treasury De-
partment to the Hartford Central
Labor Union, assurance was ex-
pressed that at least the one big con-
struction job now tied up by the walk
out of local union craftsmen in protest
against a proposed $3.50 wage slash
will soon proceed under union labor.
This job is the million-dollar United
States Post Office, and the reason
given for the assurance is that the
Supervising Architect of the Treasury
Department, under whose eye the con-
struction must proceed, is a stickler
for quality work. The writer of the
letter, prefers to remain unknown for
the present, but he states in his mis-
sive that the Open Shop in Hartford
is unable to muster craftsmen of suf
ficient experience on that type of
work to satisfy the requirements Of
the Supervising Architect.

no fear that those boys in the Super

Lonergan Charges Racket
in PIPE Trades Licenses
Alliance Head Hits at Dishonesty in Permit Practices
and Starts Move for Stricter Inspections

Attacking what he termed Hthe
license racket"a President John A.
Lonergan of the Structural Building
Trades Alliance of Hartford and
Vicinity, called upon his organization
at it's first March meeting in the La
Dor Temple to strike out boldly at the
evil so as to destroy it before it de-
stroys those who are at present the
victims of it. He named the general
public as perhaps the chief loser in
the underhand racket that has grown
up around the municipal ordinances
which were enacted for its protection
and said that next to the general pub
lie the self-respecting craftsmen af-
fected by the ordinances are hurt the

"'Harvest of Dishonest Profits
Armed with a full set of the city
ordinances applying to the licensing
of plumbers and electricians and en-
bracing steamfitters as well, Presi-
dent Lonergan went at his attack
Systematically and with a complete
backing of facts and figures. He
showed by records taken from the
Municipal Building that coterie of
licensed plumbers in the city, both
union and non-union, were reaping
harvest of dishonest profits in Sc
curing permits for plumbing and
heating work to be done by others not
eligible for permits because of defi-
cheney in ability or reputation. This,
the Alliance President stated in en-
phatic terms, constitutes gambling
with the public health and safety and
should be punished under the laws so
flagrantly violated. He declared that
he was ready to furnish the proper
authorities with the proof that the
racket had assumed proportions so
large that they threaten a public
scandal unless checked without delay.

ARRIC0NI OFFERED MOVIE MEN
PAY SLASH OF 90 PER CENT
81 Week for Second Operator in Booth New Low for
Starvation Wages Union Fights Extreme Cuts

Despite the efforts of interests op-
posed to union labor to draw her
ring across the trail in the form of
an arrest of a non-union New London
man for alleged attempt to stencil
bomb the Middlesex Theatre of Mid
dletown, the locked-out operators of
Local No. $50, of Stage Employees and
Moving Picture Machine Operators of
that city will carry on. After having
picketed the Middlesex Theatre,
owned and operated by Frank Arri-
goni, for more than six months, the
union forces show no sign of weaken
ing and the pickets are still on the
job.
Trouble Started Last September.
The trouble in Middletown began
last September when the Middlesex,
heretofore manned by union opera
tives, re-opened for the season with
imported non-union employees. AL
though the members of the local un-
ion had offered TO accept wage cut
of ten per cent. to assist the manage
ment in period of poor business, the
management turned down the offer
and insisted on practical demolition of
all semblance of union wages. The
best offer of Mr.. Arrigoni was $35
for the first operator and So for the
second operator. These suggestions
were so unreasonable that the union
negotiators were obliged to assume
that Mr.. Arrigoni's offer was not
made in good faith, but was made
with the intention of giving the inn
preston to the public that he was
trying to arrive at an understanding
with the men, while at the same time
having arranged to import cheap
workers from outside the city.
With the breakup of the negotia-
tions for peaceable settlement of the
labor difficulties, the union theatre
workers, organized under Local NO.
$50, placed pickets before the theatre
and have continued ever since to keep
the public advised of the trouble with
the management. From the begin
ming the public has been sympathetic
with the cause of the union men, the
most outspoken sympathy having
come from the largest group of form
er patrons of the theatre, the Students

OLD MEN.

In savage tribes where skulls are
thick
And primal passions rage
They have a system, sure and
quick,
To cure the blight of age.
For when a natives youth has fled
And years have Slapped his vim
They simply knock him on the head
And put an end to him.
But we, in this enlightened age,
Are built of nobler stuff,
And so we look with righteous rage
On deeds SO harsh and rough.
For when man grows old and
gray
And weak and short of breath
We simply take his job away
And let him starve to death. ,

CARMEN SEEK
BETTER TERMS
Want Pay and Hours Equal
to Those in Springfield


When delegates from Local No. 425
of the American Association of Street
Railway Employees go to attend the
State Board of the Association at
New Haven the latter part of March
they will carry instructions to call
upon the meeting to petition the
Connecticut Company for rates of
pay and working conditions equal to
those enjoyed by the street railway
workers in the neighboring city of
Springfield. At the present time the
workers in the up-river city hold a
distinct advantage over those en-
ployed in Connecticut, receiving 76
cents an hour for an eight-hour day
and six-day week.
Other Locals Favor Petition.
The dissimilarity of pay and hours
between the Connecticut workers and
those Of Springfield and, other Mesa
chusetts cities has been the subject of
discussion in the Hartford. local and
in many others throughout the state
for long time. 1t has been held
that the advantage that the Massa-
chusetts cities hold is due largely to
better public sentiment and legal
treatment there. It has been pointed
out that the work is exactly alike, so
that no inherent difference can be
ascribed for the discrepancy. Advices
received by local union officers is to
the effect that the Hartford local will
not be alone in it's request for better
pay and hours when the state meeting
gets under way, many other locals
having intimated that their delegates
will go to New Haven with instruc-
tons similar to those sent from
Hartford.

Danbury Halter
In Vicious Attack
Moffa Gets Sentence of Six
Months In Jail
Employed But Refused Dues

Six months in Jail was the sentence
meted out to Antonio Moffa, recall
citrant union halter of Danbury, when
he faced the Judge of the Danbury
City Court charged with murderous
assault upon President jeremiah D.
Scully of the Hat Makers Association
of that city and Edward A. Gordon,
secretary treasurer of the same union.
The assault took place in the office
of the Lemme Hat Company where
Moffa was employed and whittier the
union officials had gone in an effort
to collect union dues from Moffa.
Case Has Ramifications.
The case has many ramifications
and is said to be grounded in radical
effort to destroy the Hat Makers
organization from within by withhold
ing dues. It is known that the con-
victed Moffa has been attempting to
organize the makers in the Lemme
plant, employing union workers, into
a movement to refuse dues, and it
is for these activities particularly
that the officers of the Danbury union
got after him. It was pointed out by
Secretary John J. Egan of the state
Federation that if Moffa's intention
had not been the destruction of the
