He addressed the strikers and appealed to them to conduct the | sigike like gentlemen. “You will .g“d the officials of the concerns gen- men, and treat them accordingly,” advised the men. He also spoke jgainst the formation of crowds at freet cornewe and disturbances of y sort. ’I‘he strikers voted that no report- j@Fes should be omitted to their meet- iggs and the business will be given ofit. by Frank E. Cook, Henry Stead- yjan and Charles Carlson, a press committee. The strikers were in session up to fipon and it is reported that the com- caped his notice. Another foreman informed the reporter that the strike had been discussed for some time by the men, but so cleverly did they caver up their tracks, that nothing definite could be learned until they marched out last Friday. e spoke of the fine manner that the company had trecated the men, and said that sev- eral of those who received incre s in their pay two and three times since last January. He termed the action of the men as ungrateful. He also sajd that he believed that many af the men now out would repent of their action and would gladly return to work if it were not for the treatment that they fear from their associates. 600 Out, Says Larkin. press committee claims 600 men are out at the plant of the machine company. Mr. Larkin said a committee of eight was appointed at the mass meeting to present the demands of the strikers to the com- pany officials at 2 o'clock this after- noon.

Statement From Officials. New Britain Machine company of- ficials gave out the following state- ment this afternoon: A committee of seven representing the employes who left The New Brit~ ain Machine company waited on the officers of the concern this afternoon and presented a petition for an eight hour day with ten hours pay and other less important requests. They were informed that the officers regretted the business of the company was not of such a nature as would allow the granting of their petition. Soclalist Leader Talks. Before a gathering of several hun- dred employes of the P. & F, Corbin company this noon, S. E. Beardsley, state secretary of the socialist party, delivered an address on labor or- ganization which whs listened to in- tently by the gathering. At its com- pletion there was a cheer sent up for the speaker. Mr, Beardsley gave an interpreta- tion of conditions that existed in Bridgeport and Waterbury prior to the strikes in those cities, and told how well the workmen have fared vecognized quit- for since they banded together to go out| and fight for their rights. He touched on local conditions and in a manner he complimented the strikers for the stand that they have taken for shorter hours and increase in wages. Organization was the object that the speaker dealt most extensively on, and he assured his listeners that if they organized their efforts would be crowned with succes: ‘Now is the time men to better yourself, and if vou let this opportunity get by, you may never have a similar chance sgain,” he said. He said that the factory owners have so perfected themselves by or- ganizations and machinery that they are securing from twenty to thirty per cent. more out of labor than ever before. He predicted success for the workmen in Bridgeport and Water- bury who have organized and are re- ceiving an eight hour a day working scale, and predicted similar results ir New Haven, where he said, a per- fect organization would soon be formed. “In New Haven the employes of a paper box concern struck recently ttee appointed to meet the officials of the Machine company will present he following demands: Eight hours y and fifty-five hours a week Dpgy. iiwas the intention of the commit- td@ to have the demands perfected afterpgen,, A Herald reporter visited the fac- this morning and looked over the ftuation.

Strength In Union. “The workman always looks at his pay envelope and does not consider what advantages he might derive if he sought them. He is satisfied with it, and does not consider the tre- mendous profits that the ‘master fel- low’ is making daily. If I were Mr. Corbin or one of the men in charge of this concern and you came to me individually and asked for an in- crease, I would tell you that the scale under which you were paid was all that I could afford to pay, and if you were not satisfied I would then tell vou to get out. That is how I would treat you if you came alone, but if you men came collectively, then the sit- uation would be different and I would e placed in a position where I wotld have to listen to your demands, and I would have to pay them. The ‘mas- ter fellows’ are a collective body, so why do you men not get together and fight for your rights? I would not pay vou a dollar increase if you did not fight for it, and this concern will not either if you do not look for it.” During his remarks Mr. Beardsle; took occasion to criticize the press and the government officials, who, he said, are under orders from the “master fellows.” In a talk with a Herald man at the close of the speech, Mr. Beardsley said walked out have | that the action of the men in this city in walking out without having an organization or presenting their de- mands was similar to the action of workmen at the beginning of the strike in that city. He styled it a stampede and was not in favor of such action_ Y. W. C. A. BUILDING IS NOW DEDICATED Formal Exercises Held Sunday With Eloquent Speakers The week's dedication exXercigses of the new gymnasium of the local Y. W. C. A. were opened yesterday af- ternoon in an auspicious manner. A large number of members and friends of the association were present to assist on the memorable occasion.

Rev. HillI's Address, Mrs. Wetmore introduced Rev. George W, C. Hill, who delivered the dedicatory address. Dr. Hill con- gratulated the Y. W. C. A. on its fine work and on its successful efforts in obtaining a new building. He said that from the help it had received from the townspeople of New Britain it was shown that a spirit of Christ- ianity still pervaded the world even though there was so much strife and turmoil in some parts. He claimed thai it showed a defin- ite God who ruled and watched over His children. The speaker said this is a materialistic age and one of de- struction, but he was glad to see that Christain feeling still permeates through the world. Mrs. Brooks Presents Keys. Mrs. W. F. Brooks, chairman of the building committec, told of the work done in connection with the building of the gymnasium. She said the keys were passed around in a ring from architects to the building comittee to the president. She spoke on the need of a boarding house and prophesied that one would be built in the near future. “The building has every utility and convenience and is modern in every respect,” said Mrs, Brooks. She then said that In giving the keys to Mrs. Wetmore, she was simply returning “her own,” to her- More Effective Work. Mrs. Wetmore pledged all officers to do more earnest and efficient work.

Pandemonium reigns, strtke fol- lows strike with the rapidity of ma- chine gun fire, capital trembles in its boots, labor with fever in its blood- shot eyes strikes, demands and strikes anew. The climax of the whirlwind of recent events came today when the soda dispensers at the Dickinson Drug company fountain laid down the tools of tneir trade and walked fram the scene of their labor with not a word of explanation of an expressed wish. .~ The words soda dispensers are used advisedly—there were two. At Riker-Hegeman's Clark & Brain- erd’s and Crowell’s the proprietars sit wearily within the sacred precincts dividing the bloated plutocoats from their hired hoipolloi and regard ask- ance the least movement of the white coated clerks behind the advance trenches of prohibition. There has been no strikes as yet in any place, but Dickinson's but well it would be if every citizen should conscientiously save his interior from the soothing concoctions dispensed from the white marble counters with all the shiny things in back in anticipation of a lack of such delicacies in the days to come. They are still serving drinks at Dickinson's of course, but it is well to be prepared. It was impossible to locate either of the striking dispensers today. They jhave probably gone fishing or swim- ming. Therefore the paper is not in a position to state whether the forma- tion of a union is contemplated or not. The proprietors state, however, that it is their intention to fill the places of the strikers as soon as pos- sible, probably tomorrow.
