This i an attempt to fully unionize 'he Courant’s” composing room, but the policy of the management has| | been to employ competent men with- | out attempting to interfere with their | | personal relations. The paper has | | Protestants, Catholics and Jews in its service, it has Masons and presumably anti-Masons. Union Troubles s ago a number of mem- bers of the typographical union, working in this office, waited on the men who had left the union and de- manded that they rejoin, This was positively refused. They had had all they wanted. Yesterday morning an organizer of the union waited on the managers of “The Courant” and urged that the men be compelled to go back so as to restore peace. Incidentally he mentioned that so far “The Cour-| ant” had been ‘“allowed to run an| open shop’ but this privilege could | not be extended to meet the present situation. This was.the first time “The Courant” management had heard the paper was being run by any outside permission. Union Attacked “The typographical union is making a strenuous effort to secure full con- trol of the newspapers in this city. It withdrew its members from this paper yesterday at the shortest possi- ble notice, if any notick at all, beyond the regret expressed by the organize that such a step would be nec If the union men had been chucked out of doors so summarily by “The Courant” there would naturally have been a great outery against such a cold hlooded and unjustifiable pro- | ceeding. “Nobody working for “The Cour-- ant” has a word to say against his treatment by the concern. It pays full wages. 'hnu: and time again it has helped (‘mp]oy when in distress. Tt pays for their life insurance (and the families of two have very recently re- ceived $1,000 each, for which the de-| ceased had paid nothing,) and it has| tried to make the getting out of the| paper a matter of common interest to the.whole “Courant” family. This sudden rupture of relations, supposed to be more than ordinarily friendly and mutual, is a sorry outcome of the constant efforts to improve conditions and remove the so-called labor ques- tion from under this roof.” The Other Side In a statement giving the Hartford Typographical Union’s side of the case, Thomas Croshy, president of the union, said today that in 1914, Charles Hopkins Clark, publisher of | the Courant, agreed with Joseph Dal- las, an international typographical | union officer, that the scale of wages and working rmy]l(mm, existing at| that time should remain in force for| two years and ten months and that| the scale to includcd a verbal agree- | | ment that none but union printers| should be employed in the Courant's composing room. Because of the war emergency no new scale was negotiated except in the case of wages which were in- creaged at various times up to Jan- nary 1, 1919, when a new scale was agreed upon. At various times from | 1914 to the present, the foreman of | {he Courant composing room has stip- ulated a union card as a condition of | |employment, Mr. Crosby said, except | | during the war period when the union not always able to procune| union men to satisfy the publishers. But jn every case, Mr. Crosby said, non-union men employed to meet the war emergency joined the Hartford Typographical wunion im- mediately. Agreements Recalled In the fall of 19 the printers asked for an increa in wages and in a counter proposal, agreed to by H. H. Conland of the Courant and | C. P. Chamberlain of the Times, it| was stipulated, Mr. Crosby said, that the publishers should “employ in its| composing room members of Typo- graphical Union, Number 127, pro-| | vided said union furnishes enough | competent men to enable the party | of the first part to issue its publication | promptly and regularly. The party of the second part (the union) agrees to use its utmost efforts to furnish | such men.” This clause, Mr. Crosby said, oc- curs in the scale which existed up to| 1920 and which was submitted as a | | whole as a counter proposal to the | | demands of the union, | Statement Misleading | Mr, Crosby said that the Courant's| | statement that the printers had re- fused to work beside men with whom they had “worked for years" was| misleading, as untll about elght months ago these men had been reg- Typographical Unlon, Their attempts to enjoy the | fruits of the unlon's efforts without hearing a propes share of the union's | | burdens and the Courant's faflure to | |insist upon membership fn the union \H‘r« the reasons Tor the strike, Mr, | | Croshy said, GERMAN “DRYS” CRUSHED i Hartford, Statement Several dé was enough Kills Bl For Study Prohibition, | Bertin, April §,—Herr Sollmann, a soclalist hailing from Cologne, who in- troduced @ measure In the Relchstag |signed by seventy others, proposing | | that Germany study the efiect of pro- | | hibitton jn America with a view to |adopting n similar law in Germany | met a erushing defeat today, Herr | Sollwmann fouud little enthusiasm 7 nl’ | ‘ Relchstag IDLE MINERS ARE |the suspension—the | to be equally interested in producing NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, for the bill a of the Rhine lives, and ever There were bill, The politie in ( nong the representatives in which Relchstag, for the wine e in the only twenty votes 1 parti rniny consider probi w stillborn issue, but Herr 8 wann sald he would e tinue undaunted to present further bills, contident of ultimate victory, PAID OFF TODAY $30,000,000 Represemed in Com- hined Pay RoHs Indianapolis, miners of the country, day, and continuing next week, re- ceived fheir last pay, estimated at $30,000,000 by union officlals, and re- garded by them as strike fund, The big wage distribution, an im- portant factor in the miners' ability to continue the general suspension of work that began a week ago on the order of the United Mine Workers of America is for the final k March—in all, 15 working days.

It was announced that they would re- sume gessions "Tuesd; The basis tipon which operators will | conduct their fight for wage reduc- tions was outlined today by 8. D. Warriner, president of the Iehigh Coal and Navigation C'o. He asserted however that the opcrators had not yet decided what percentage of reduc- tioh they will seek to incorporate in the new anthracite confract. “The price of coal has reached a point where the markct is threatened by the competition of such as coke gas, certain grades coal. wood and electricity which now be burned more cheaply than,an- thracite coal,” said Mr, Warriner, “What we must have is a wage structure by which we can produce anthracite and deliver it to the public at a reasonable price. Unless people buy our coal the mines will be {dle part of the time. A good market will mean mines in operation the year round. We believe the miner ought coal at a reasonable price and in keeping the mines operating, for then he ¢s assured full time wages and a higher standard of living.” ABYS COLDS are soon ‘“nipped in the bud” without “dosing” use of~ 1ICR YAPCF.UR 17 Mill:- + Yars U:-+d “early Seaman Falls Into Trap Sct By Po- lice Department Boston, April §~—Raymond A Hawkes, a seaman on a tanker ply ing between Hamburg and New York learned tb his sorrow yesterday that 35 Pemberton.square was police head- quarters, Inspector Robert Caverly of the narcotic squad, suspecting that Hawkes was involved in a smuggling ring, sent to him a registered letter declaring his readiness to take all the drugs Hawkes could offer.
