Labor Man Says That State Board Should Try to Settle Labor Troubles. New Haven, Nov. 18.—Allegations are made by Patrick F. O'Mears, president of the New Haven Trades council, in a letter sent to Gov. Hol- comb today that the state board of arbitration and mediation has been neglectful in his duties in not mak- ing ‘‘some reasonable effort” to set- tle the various labor disputes which have been in progress for months in the state. O’Meara points out that the law provides that the state board shall investigate causes of labor disputes and make an effort to adjust them; that members of the board must have many disputes for months, and that in ignoring them the members— Lucius E. Whiton of New London, Edward H. Broder of Hartford and Hugh Shalvoy of Danbury—have been neglectful. Mr. O'Meara asks the governor to grant an early hearing on the charges so that, in case the con- tentions have been upheld, a new board may be appointed. A special city meeting will be held at the City hall next Tuesday evening to levy a special tax of half a miil to meet the state tax, which is due. |ing to Showing Up to Date BROKE PAROLE One of Interned German Ofticers of Prinz Eitel Friedrich Who Left U- S.
