Role of Union Is Explained By Feiinmark
New Haven Leader Sees Business Stabilization
 One of Chief Results

One of the most important de- velopments in the labor field the last few years is the fact that many business men, in their ca- pacity as employers, have come to realize that stable industrial relations are as important to their business as the stable quail ity of the product they are man. ufacturing or selling.
 This was the high point of an address given Tuesday evening by President Harold V. Fein- mark of the New Haven Central Labor Council, to Fidelity Lodge of the Knights of Pythias in this city.
 EFFICIENT DEVICE"
 Feinnlark, who is also vice-presi- dent of the Connecticut Federation oi Labor, stated that unions were not the result of someone's "idea."
 Labor organizations have come in to being because they are the most efficient device we have for adjusting the differences between employer anc employe.
 "When the United States was ex- banding at a fast rate, when there was work for everyone, the union move ment was weak. It is strong now because we have found that the de fense program notwithstanding, there are limitations on the amount of work available. Without unions there would be anarchy. As the situation now stands, employers know what their employment costs will be, ant are in a better position to compete for business. He knows that with a strong union in his plant, he can fig ure what his production will be, be- cause union men who are treated squarely are prepared to produce, and do produce.
 HELP SOCIETY
 ''FrOm the broader point of view, unions are also an efficient device to meet changes in our economic set-up. They help dis tribute income more evenly. By getting decent wages for their members, they create increased

 PUG. In Courts

The New Haven Central Labor Council and Mayor John W. Mur- phy hailed the decision of the State Public Utilities Commits sion revoking and resembling the rate increase granted to the New Haven Water Company in Au- gust, 1889.
 The revocation is effective as of January l, 1922.
 LONG FIGHT REWARDED
 The Central Labor Council feels its long fight has been rewarded, espe- cially by the Commissions decision to continue the probe to find out if the rate increase is warranted. A further hearing has been set for Wednesday, Nov. 12. The mayor declared the de- cision twill give the people confidence that the Public Utilities Commission as now constituted will safeguard the rights of the public as it was intended that Commission should when it was first established"
 Tt justified" he continued, "the wisdom of the course pursued by the administration"
 "A GREAT VICTORY"
 Joseph T. Rourke, vice-president oi the Council, who led the fight made by the New Haven Central Labor Council for the hearings, pointed out that revocation was based on the ques- tion of legality He was pleased witt the continuation of the investigation Further investigation may even prove that the 1882 increase was unwarrant- ed," he said. The State Senator fears the money involved, now over $125,- 900, may be tied up for years while the court hearings proceed.
 Nevertheless it is a great victory for the people. This is the first time the Commission has ruled against the Water Company" he said.
