Conn. Labor Again Rallies For SLRA

the following statement to the Com mittee:
 We are here first and foremost as citizens of Connecticut whose first concern is the welfare of our state and country. That which will help our state will help our working people, will help the state as a whole.
 Tt will not help Connecticut to have State Labor Relations Act which shackles workers in their just attempts to, form and join organiza- tions of their own choosing. This is what House Bills SAP, 843, and 844 would do. Senate Bill No. 1 and House Bill No. 24O, simply protects workers in intra-state commerce if they decide to form and join a union. Organization of workers is here to stay. In large part, the. bills being heard here today are intended to ham strihg organization. Trying to do that is like trying to turn the clock back-it can't be done.
 Tt is not necessary to take the committees time in speaking for House Bill No. 240, and Senate Bill No. l. Last weeks hearing took care of that.
 REPEAL UNTHINKABLE
 ''The intention of the bills be- ing heard here today, is, as I understand it, to be as fair to the employer, as to the employee. Again l say, gentlemen, it can't be done, and hope I won't be mis- understood. When we proposed wOrkmen's compensation, unem- plOyment compensation, OId-age insurance, and other forms of so- cial security, we were opposed on the ground that this was one-way legislation.
 These measures have become the law of the land, and have helped not only workers, but all people. I doubt | that any member of this honorable committee would vote for the repeal of any of this legislation.
 "With New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, our neighbors, and competitors, having State Labor Rel lations Laws, we are not experiment. ing. We simply say that clerks in stores, and thousands of others, should have the protection of the law when they organize.
 "I especially ask the Committee to remember that the workers who would be covered by this proposed legislation are in the lowest brackets in our state. The minimum wage for

Of commission house buying.
Stout shipping demand boosted
oats, while mill buying and reports
of continued export demand for
flour aided in firming wheat pric-

continued with the result that trad

Oats had an additional boost in
reports that Greece has purchased
700, 900 bushels in addition to 140,-

days shipping sales of the grain

PRICE OF COTTON
AGAIN ADVANCES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. - B :

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. Up -
Cotton prices made further advanc-
es this week as the market de-
mand continued strong.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that prices for mid
ding 1915 inch cotton in the ma
TONS 10 spot markets averaged a.
40 cents 4 pound on Thursday
against 24.12 cents a week earlier
and with 21.42 cents a year ago.
This price is well above both the
government purchase price of %. 46
cents a pound and the government
sales price 1852 cents.
Sales reported in the 10 markets
totaled 193.300 bales. They were
10000 In the preceding week and
1873, 200 In the corresponding 1914
week.
The department said farmers
continue to offer cotton freely in
the southeast and that mills are
buying moderately for future ship
m,ent.
Sales Of cotton registered under
the government export program
totaled 76O, 100 bales between Aug.
l and Nov. "a, the Department re-
ported. Registered sales for the
geek totaled 28,100.
The Department said premiums
on better grades than middling in
creased during November and that
discounts on the lower grades wild
ened.
OF interest to the cotton trade
was an Agriculture Department an
nouncement that a 1916 cotton
planting goal of 10000, 600 acres
was recommended. This compares
with 1856, 900 acres planted this
year and with a five-year Q937-4D
Of rs, 357, 1000 acres.
The Department said picking and
ginning continue to be hampered
by rain and cold weather, particu-
larly in the central and eastern Sec
tons Of the cotton belt.

TOBACCO STOCKS
SHOW GOOD GAIN

RALEIGH, Dec. 7. .-R-Stocks
of all types Of leaf tobacco owned
by dealers and manufa cturers in
the United States now total about
2, 512, 982, 600 pounds, or Isl, 100000
pounds above last year and the
highest holdings since 1912, the
State Department of Agriculture re-
ported today.
During the quarter from July to
October, an estimated 100000, 600
pounds entered stocks through sales
or deliveries, the department said.
Although these additions consisted
principally of hue-cured tobaccos,
they included some Maryland and
cigar-leaf. In comparison, the de-
partment said, only $40, 1000, 600
pounds entered stocks through sales
during the third quarter of last
year.
Total domestic cigarette leaf
stocks now are around 9.3 per cent
higher than a year ago, and marks
the first time since 1941 that these
stocks have not shown a decrease
from the previous year, the depart
ment's report continued.
It also said that Commodity Cred
it Corporation stocks now total ap-
proximately 138,000,000 pounds, of
which 49,, 100000 pounds are flue-
cured. However, a large portion OF
these stocks are earmarked for ex-
port and are not actually available
to local manufa cturers.
The department said although
stocks were at the highest peak in
three years, the rate of disappear
ance for most types of leaf is great
er than in 1914.

One of those spontaneous cash pools developed at Erskine's dock the other day among em- ployes of the McConaghy can nery, and all corners to the dock were generously invited to make thelr contributions and get a chance ou the winnings.
