NEW. BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY, MAY 12 1916. P e ey -LABOR LEADER RAPS | SEN. KLETT'S REGORD Stremlau Flays Local Legislator for Attitude Toward Labor Admonishing his auditors against | forgetting the record of Senator G. W. Klett in the recent session of the legis- lature, State President Julius Stremlau Connecticut Federation of of the » Labor, delivered an address that was | full of enthusiasm from a labor union standpoint, also containing some tart criticism for the local legislator, who was alluded to as no friend of union labor, at the open meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union last evening in Ma- chinists’ hall. The hall was taxed to its capacity when the meeting was called to order. Well versed in the various transac- tions that pertained to any movement | in regard to labor, President Stremlau | took up the actions of Senator Klett, riddling them full of holes until, at the close of his address, the record of | Mr. Klett resembled a sieve. The principal matters that pertained to beneficial results for union labor were the establishment of a factory inspec- tor, and the bureau of statistics, which, through the efforts of Klett and Senator Peaseley of Waterbury were later placed under a labor com- mission, at the head of which was a Manchester lawyer, giving the manufacturing interests more power over them, Mr. Stremlau said. Always turning a deaf ear to the re- quests of labor men, Senator Klétt was a man who the labor interests should look after if he attempts to come before the public at any election later on. "At no time, the speaker said, has Senator Klett showed any interest or inclination to be of assistance in | the cause of union labor, during his | tenure of office as senator from this district. This is the second time within a few months that the record of Senator Klett in the legislature has been crit- icised. Sol Sontheimer, at a meeting of the Bakers’ union, severely cen- sured the local legislator for his at- titude toward labor interests. Judges Get Bumped. Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport, first vice president of the Connecticut Fed- eration of Labor, spoke at length on the manner of enforcing the compen- sation law in this state and Massachu- setts, In the latter state, occupational sickness is recognized as cause for im- mediate compensation, but in Con- necticut, where it was intended to car- ry out the provisions of the law along the same Hnes, influential judges have interpreted the law in a manner more beneficial to the manufacturers, Mr. | McLevy said. The speaker rapped the | method of appointing judges, stating | that it should be left to the wisdom of the people. Hot Shot for Others. One of the best addresses of the evening was delivered by General Or- ganizer Wickham of the Machinists’ Union. . Mr. Wickham. said on arriv- ing in this city several weeks ago he aw pasted throughout the city signs “Help the Boy.” If the manufacturers would pay a more reasonable wage to the father, the boy would be able to continue in school longer and receive a better physical and mental training, and there would be no need of looking for charity, he said. The speaker said it has been oftentimes remarked that workmen were the cause of many of the gigan- tic strifes and troubles that occur. Citing an incident in New Haven, Mr. ‘Wickham spoke of alleged efforts to create dissension there by Mr. Whit- ney and Mr. Kelly of the Hartford County Manufacturers’ association and their talks were of a nature to draw down a severe rebuke from the Elm’ City manufacturers, who as- sured them that things were progres ing peacefully and there was no need of their interference. In Springfield the interfering manufacturers were nccorded the same treatment. He re- | ferred to the efforts such as the Boys’ club campaign as a sop to ease the conscience of the troubled manufac- | turers who after feeling the pangs of | remorse for the poor wages paid their employes, take this medium of relie ing themselves of some of their wor- ries. Good positions are found in cha Jle institutions, the speaker said, $18,000,000 being received for this work in'this country during the past year, of which but $3,000,000 was used for that purpose, the remainder being paid out for official salaries. Thomas Crosby, Sr., spoke on the benefits derived by the Typographical Union through its eight hour day, the pension fund, the home for aged printers and the $400 mortuary ben- efit. Mayor Quigley also spoke. The entertainment consisted of golos by “Bob” Andrews and “Jack” Hilton, recitations by J. J. Bonn and piano selections by Profes Thompson. STRIKERS QUIT BERLIN. Brick Wor s Leave Town After Re- ceiving Wages Due. True to their word, many of the striking brick workers in Berlin left the town today. They said they would consider themselves automat- ically discharged, unless the owners complied with their demands for a wage increase by Wednesday. Yes- terday after receiving wages due, many left for this city and other towns nearby, to secure employment. This morning only a corporal’s guard gathered at the depot square and some of these were getting ready to leave. A small number returned to at several yards yesterday bui not enough to work industry. The own- ers still remain reticent on the ques tion of when they will start sgain, work “making’" | honors that has been a higher percentage of Irish, navian and German stock, and those LOCAL GIRL WINS HONOR AT TRINITY Miss Crowe Chosen Student Govern- ment Representative of Her Cl at College in Washington, D. C. Miss Leonie Elizabeth Crowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Crowe of Grove Hill, has received the greatest honor that can be conferred on a student at Trinity college, ‘Washington, D. C, through her election as student government rep- resentative from the coming soph- more class. In selecting Miss Crowe the cle | of 1919 at Trinity, which is consider ed one of the finest schools for younsg ladies in the United States, recognized in her abilities far beyond the aver- age. It also continued the chain of Miss Crowe's share since graduating from Gram- school. While she was a_mem- of the class of 1915, New Britain school, she was continually by her classmates and was secretary of her class during her sophomore and senior yvears. She was also chairman of the committee in charge of the re-union last year. POVERTY AND WHITE PLAGUE BROTHERS One-Sixth of Tuberculosis Cases Start in Cheap Lodging Houses nar ber High honored 12 close to a —The tuberculo: made ‘Washington, May relations of poverty is emphasized in public today by the public health service after an extensive investiga- tion in many cities. One-sixth of all tuberculosis cases, it declares, de- velop in cheap lodging houses, and one-fifth are tracable to occupational hazards and bad working conditions. “The great factor underlying the entire problem,” says the report, “is seemingly that of economic con- ditians. As examples statistics gathered in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are cited. In the former city’'s tenement dis- trict tuberculosis morbidity was found to be three times as great as in the better sections, and the aver- age monthly income of 197 families in which cases were found was com- puted $57. -The same condition was discovered in Pittsburgh, where nearly 20,000 factary workmen sub- mitted to physical examinations in the course of the investigation. The report also points out the varving effect of immigration on the increase of tuberculosis. Tt says: “Almost without exception cities with Scandi- report in which:the negro population is relatively large, have a correspond- ingly high mortality while those where the Ttalian and Jewish element is proportionately great have a low tuberculosis death rate. Such cities as Detroit and Cleveland, with hun- dreds of population increase, show a low tuberculosis mortality, while Cincinnati and Baltimore, with a relatively small population increase, have a high tuberculosis rate. Doubtless thetrue explanation of this discrepancy is that where the popu- lation increase is rapid new buildings are erected to take the place of old insanitary structures and better hous- ing conditions prevafl.” An Economic Problem, Washington, May 12.—Direct finan- cial economy of combatting tuber- culosis was illustrated today at final sessions of the National Association for the Study of Prevention of Tuber- culosis. Dr. Joseph H. Pratt of Boston ex- i that patients of a tubercu- cla maintained by Emanuel church, Boston, whose wage earning power was restored by proper treat- ment, earned $50,000 last vear. The 1 expense of the class far the past ten vears was about’ $15,000. Dr. Pratt recommended that churches and other organizations form classes of tubercular patients for instruction regarding outdoor treatment which they may give them- selves at home.

In order to escape further persecution, he escaped to Sweden in a woman's garl in August, 1914. According to Heliodorus, a repre- sentative of th eRussian minister the interior, Khvostoff, arrived in Christiania late in January of this vear with the proposal that Heliodor- us became party to a conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor mystic monk. Khvostoff's envoy is said have brought to the information that Rasputin was working for a separ- ate peace between Germany and Rus- sia, and, being “brought by wealthy Jews, had secured for the Jews great contracts on supplies for the arm It was also reported that Rasputin had opposed Khvostoff and that the latter as well as other members of the cabinet were like chessmen in the hands of the monk. Heliodorus, desiring to learn whole plot, posed as willing to enter the conspiracy and signed a con- tract to engage a band of murderers for 60,000 rubes.
