Altre is here without a congregation and until he came the Spanish residents of New Britain“had no spiritual advisor. He SPANIARDS DENY PAYING FOR JOBS| Rev. Vincent Alire Gives His View on Municipal Labor Friction between Italian and Span- ish laborers, violation of Mayor Curtis’ orders not to hire any workmen ex- cept through the city labor bureau and that no Spaniards should be hirad and dissatisfaction with many of the Italian workmen by formen of the street and sewer jobs, are reasons given by the Rev. Vincent Altre, the local Spanish priest for the charges being made that city foremen were selling jobs to Spaniards. “There is not a foreman in the city taking any money from Spanish eo- ple and there is not an “Espanola” in the city paying a foreman a cent for has taken a keen interest in his peo- ple and has doné everything he could to make them happy and alleviate the sufferings of poverty. He was still un- able to understand the discrimination against Spaniards in giving out jobs at the city labor bureau . Mayor Stood Firm When the mayor’'s edict first went into effect that no more jobs were to be given to Spaniards, the priest went to the labor bureau and made numer- ous calls upon Mayor Curtis in an ef- fort to have this order rescinded. The | mayor felt that he was justified in giving such orders, inasmuch as there were few Spanish in the city long enough to become citizens and these were being taken care of. He did not want newcomers in the city to be given work and the older citizens and taxpayers crowded out. But the priest felt that his people were wronged and accordingly he set out to do what he could for thém in whatever maner he could. He began sending men to the different foremen with notes, telling them of the cir- cumstances of the bearers and asking said foreman to do what they could to hire the men. He claims that the men he sent were better workmen than the Italians. The Spaniards were engaged he says and Italians discharged. Thus, he claims, jealousy arose. Then anoth- er circumstance cropped - up. The priest, having no parish or congrega- tion, had no source of income. He worked for some time in a local fac- tory but that did not last, so in order to do what he could for his people and at the same time keep the wolf from his own door, he constituted himself sort of an employment agent for the Spanish people, for which he is said to have been given a fee by those who registered on the book of vacancies, according- to the statement of one of his parishionérs. But none of this money, he alleges, ever got to the foremen. In fact, he said, he would not permit any of his people ‘to atéempt to bribe foremen tor work. A significant gesture of the hand across the throat left the inter- viewer to imagine how he would like to see those punished who would be gull:y of such bribery. “Everywhere I went,” said the priest, “I saw Italians and Poles working on the street, but no Span- iards. " I felt bad for my people. Sometimes I gave them notes to the foremen and sometimes I went with them. Now where there are 100 Italians there are 10 Spaniards. The Spaniards are goed men and their foremen like them. The Italians are Jealous.” It is impossible to trace the hir- ing of men off the street through the city hall payroll. If a man is hired at the labor bureau he is given a card to the foreman. The foreman takes the card and gives him a brass check with a number on it. He is known thereafter by number alone and not by name. His time is kept according to his number and he ;s paid by number. If a man is hired by the foreman, there is no record of that man’s name anywhere and his nationality cannot be traced. UN] ‘AL OFFICERS.

Claiming that the unemployed in Fastern United States seems to be flocking to the New England states, particularly Connecticut, Massachu- selts and Rhode Island, A. F. Eggle- ston, representing the Lane Construc- tion company, came here looking for 20 laborers to go onto road construc- tion work in New York state. Mr. Eggleston was directed to the Spanish colony on Chestnut street, where the chief of the colony,Fernan- do Siroso, agreed to find him 20 men. Failing to procure more than 13 men from the colony, Mr. Eggleston was directed to the city labor bureau, where he asked for seven more men. Inasmuch as it meafis leaving their families here,many married men were reluctant to go, and at last accounts only three additional men had been procured. In charge of Vincento Martins, of the Spanish colony, the sixteen labor- ers left this afternoon for Springfield, from which city they will proceed to Utica, New York, where they will work for the Lane Construction com- pany on state highway work.
