vNOT TO ATTACK LABOR, UNIONS.
Leaders of the Natibual Civic F‘edv
oration movement see as one of the
"threat results of the national confer-
hence. on combinations and trusts,
which closed In Chicago yesterday. the
. . completion of a long step forward in
. their. plan for relations of amity with
. the chiefs of the American Federation
of Labor. As an aid to the Fedora:
: tion's aim for cluse relations with the
:big labor body headed by Samuel
Gompere it was decided at the opening‘
, ‘ of the conference in Chicago not to
“ " encourage nttscks in the convention
s”on" the “labor trust," with the result
_ that a number of, delegates who had
. planned speeches against the closed
. shop and the methods of organized
' labor materially modified the tenor of
, their remarks. ' ’
, When the conference was planned
it was deemed fitting to recognize lar
bor’s interest in the trust question by
thinking President 'Gompers vice-chair-
man of the governing committee. His
presence at the gathering led to the
appearance there of the presidents and
executive officers of the national un-
ion of machinists, miners, carpenters.
printers and longshoremen. besides the
‘ leaders of numerous smaller unions.
Labor’s representatives took an active
part in the discussions affecting the
railroads and the oil, steel, tobacco,
lumber, rubber and beef combinations.
During intelmisslons of the confer-
ence the labor leaders in attendance
held a number of meetings to consid-
er the industrial future and map out
a political course for their organizw
tion, Prosidetn Gompers being pres
eat at. most of the meetings.
The non-appearance at the confer.
ence of President August, Belmont of
the National Civic Federation has led
to a discussion of rumors that Mr. Bei-
mont is to retire frm the leadership
of the organization. It was authori-
tatively stated, however, that Presi-
dent Belmort was unable to leave New
York because of the financial situation
there. His associates express confi~
deuce that ho is not losing interest in

The finance Committee should audit
all bills of the Association. which
should have their approval before he

charge of all the finances and make
such recommendations to the Board as
may seem to them best.
The Committee on Membership is a
very important one. and there is much
work for them. Every business man
in the town, every taxpayer; in fact
every man interested in the welfare
of the towu should be a member oi

This» committee I; consider one of
the most important. . While Norwaik
has a well defined piece on the map.
and while its advantages are being
daily considered, yet it is quite pos-
sible that there may be some who have
not heard of us. or of all the attrac-
tions which We are able to offer to
,those seeking a home or a placebo do
usinees. i suggest to this committee

could the used by. the business men of

attention concerning municipal affairs.
and from this committee should enian.
uto such recommendations as In their
judgment seem best. At. the present
time there is much work for this coul-
mlttee to do.
Entertainment Committee.
The work of this committee is most
pleasant, as the principal work for
the is the arranging of our occasional
bun nets. They are ill] experienced in
this work. 'and I have no doubt as to
the future. 1 have. however, one sug-
gestion which I would offer for their
very careful consideration. it, has
long been the desire of your president
that. the Norwaik usiuess Men's Asso-
ciation should have a banquet where
we could invite the ladies of the town
to participate and, learn more of the
work of the Association. in offering
this suggestion it is with a decided
opinion that no giant work was over
yet completely successful without the
help of the ladies. The ladies of Nor-
wulk are so much interested in all
that benefits the town that it. seems
highly proper that we should invite
them to meet, with us. hear what it
said at our banquets. and ask for
their support in our fawn.
There are several questions which
will undoubtedly come before us dur-
ing the year. While i am extremely
anxious that we shall not neglect any
of them, I firmly believe that some
times we undertake too much. A better
Idea would be to well execute a few
plans than to attempt so many that all
fail. or are only partially successful
because of lack of time to carry all to
a state of perfection.
There are today, in my judgment,
two or three very important matters
that. demand our attention. Permit
me to call them to your attention in
the hope that they will meet your up-
proval and receive that consideration
of which you think them worthy.
First, let me mention the present
alarming dissatisfaction with the trol-
ley service and the giving of trans-
fers. The present method of compel
ling all passengers to change at the
corner of Wall and Main streets when
coming from Westport or Bridgeport
in place of at the postodice. the ex-
treme western point of business in the
city of Norwalk. is a hardship that tiu
patrons can .lustiy complaint of. This
together with the unsatisfactory sys
tem of giving transfers, should. we be
lisve, be called to the attention of tin
managecmnt. and if properly present,
ed will receive consideration iron

Company have assured us that It, If
their desire to well serve the poopli
of Norwalk, and they will be glad ol
suggestions from the Business Mcn’i
Association as to where they can bet
ter the trolley service. i rocomment
that this matter be referred to tht
Committee on Municipal improve
ments.
Another, and equally . imporlaui
question, is the need of nnincrcascc
supply of water for the City of Nor
wkalk. One of the first questions ask.
ed by the stranger coming to our town
is “Have you an adequate supply 0'
water for the future needs of tilt
city?" At present we are near thi
danger line. Our Association shoult
be active in bringing this question it
the attention of our Wafer Commie
sioncrs, and urge them to take sucl'
steps as are necessary to provide for
the future. We are fortunate in hav
ing on our membership two of thc
Water Commissioners, one of them r
member of this iiourtl. and much in
forested in everything that benefit:
Norwaiki would recommend that thli
matter should also be referred to flu
Committee on Municipal improve
monis.
For many years we have waited and
hoped that a suitable hotel would bi
erected in the City of Norwalk; one it
which We could rotor with pride. out
one in which we might in safety in
vito our friends to reside for a portlor
or all of the year. At one Hillt' or an
other we have all served on commit
