MITCHELL OF TAFFY FAME NOW
CONTROLS RESORT AT LIGHTHOUSE
Change Name to Mitchell's Lighthouse Beach and Will Begin His
Famous Block Island Clambakes on Monday Canadian Wild
Geese Captured There Fresh Lobsters and Camouflaged
Bathing Suits at Momauguin Tabard Inn.
Some men are born famous, others
achieve fame and still others when
operating a summer amusement resort
will have a nice pair of wild Canadian
geese become exhausted on their prop
erty so they can be easily captured and
thus supply another good feature to
entertain the young and old. And some
say there is no such thing as luck. But
it isn't all luck for if Noel A. Mitchell
had not had the good judgment to se
cure the greater part of what was call
ed Lighthouse Point, make countless
improvements, which will be described
lat;r, and name the place after himself,
the geese might not have Hawkered
there.
As this is a true story, the thrilling
details might as well be set down here
Mr. Mitchell made salt water tafy abou:
' 27 years ago and since then he has
catered to the sweet-toothed and the
lover of the clambake in Block Island
and St. Petersburg, Fla. He is now
developing Lighthouse Point, which he
has renamed Mitchell's Lighthouse
Beach, A reporter for The Connccticu
Labor Press was present at the renam
ing ceremony this week and everything
went off with much eclat. He had
planned a great many standard and
novel features for the resort ana men
the pair of wild geese, which hopped
off somewhere in Canada, became ex
hausted as soon as they reached the
Connecticut playground and some of
Mr. Mitchell's employees captured them.
They are now in captivity and can be
seen by all. Mr. Mitchell says they
make fine eating but as he is to put out
a genuine Block Island clambake he will
not kill the geese for the table but will
save them for exhibition. They are said
to be more toothsome than a mongrel
goose and many know how good this is
about Christmas time with a few raisins
- . i i i j
in me ureau ui casing.
It would be interesting to say that the
, geese were caught by Chief Yellow
Hand but the Oklahoma Indian is at the
Beach for another kind of performance
of which the details will be told some
other time. When seen by the reporter,
the chief was not making war medicine
but had a fishing rod and was about to
try his luck in the vicinity.
When an expert hotel keeper puts up
a new hotel he always provides plenty
of space for ,a roomy and attractive
lobby, even at the expense of stores, to
be rented. Most of the successful hotel
keepers maintain tha.t this is good judg
ment. This was first explained to us
by the father of Walter & Garde. In
line with this idea, , Mr. Mitchell has
cleared his water front of bathing
machines, rest boxes, coops for gim
cracks and all kinds of rubbish so that
there is nothing along the beach now
but clean sancL There is a wide stretch
cf sand that makes an ideal place for
recreation and it fills the eye with its
' beauty. The sand is not as white as
that in Florida where it is mixed with
coquina-shells but it is the. only kind
available and it is natural. The point
that Mr; Mitchell, makes is that the
place is absolutely safe for women ind
children. In speaking about, his prop -
erty, he often returns to this phase and
he thinks it worth while to see that
safety is guaranteed. He has a pretty
- little girl of his own, too.
' In the roundhouse, where the flyinpr
horses were wont to fly, Mr. Mitchell
will establish a moving picture theater
with an up to date program of the mute
drama.' He is "also planning a number
of Mimrner shows and amusements that
will be novel to patrons in thi section
of the 'country. Additional information
about these .features will be supplied
later in this paper.
.' Beginnig on' Monday, June 16, Mr.
Mitchell will serve his famous Block
Island clambake in the old dancing
pavilion. The tables will be arranged
aldngp the sides of this room and the
dancing will be confined to the center
of the floor. A mechanical bandolin is
placed in this room. Mr. Mitchell has
served the Block Island clambake in
Florida for 25 years. This is somewhal
different from the Rhode Island bake,
the Babcock bake of Narragansett, the
sheepbake of Compounce or the "pot
latsch of the old Connecticut Indians.
He also served this bake in its native
habitat, Block Island, and to, bring this
famous bake and other features; here
he passed up an opportunity to man
age the Ocean View House at Block
r Island, which to that island is about the
'same as the Winthrop is to Meriden.1
Those who go to the seashore in this
part of the country plan to see certain
amusements and devote a certain amount
of time to bathing or fishing but no
matter what the program is about every
one relishes a good clambake or shore
dinner. In order to supply the wants
of the great majority, Mr. Mitchell be
lieves that the Block Island clambake
fills the bill.
The Block Island clambake consists
of the f ollowing : .
' ' Baked Clams
Clam Chowder
Swordfish
Baked Bluefish
Boiled Lobster
Mackerel
' Green Corn on Cob
Potatoes Cucumbers String Beans
Watermelon Pie
Ice Cream
Coffee Tea
This dinner is served in three styles
at. 90 cents, $1.40 and $225. Mr.
Mitchell says he has had great experi
ence in clambakes and shore dinners
and he has found that the Block Island
variety gives the greatest satisfaction.
After reading the above menu we have
on reason to dispute him. In addition
to the big dining-room, Mr. Mitchell
now has four lunch rooms at the Beach.
One of the new ones has .some brilliant
lighting effects and makes a handsome
appearance at night.
In the large building where the fly
ing horses are stationed, Mr. Mitchell
has installed the machinery for making
salt water taffy and there are refresh
ment booths and a kiosk for Lighthouse
fouven.irs Mr. Mitchell was making
and selling candy at Atlantic City a
good many years ago and the supply o:
water in the plant gave out. He went
down to the seashore and brought back
some salt water. This was used in malt
ing the candy and some of his custom
ers told him that the taffy had a differ
ent taste but not an inferior ore. This
is the way the salt water taffy was be
gun. It is now a flourishing industry
and there is a demand for it in all
parts of the. world. When the Queen
of England sent a bar of chocolate to
every British soldier in one division it
is said some complaint was made be
cause salt water taffy was not sent in
stead, of chocolate.
l neoaorp r, o 1 1 l, iuin.iui -well-known
Momauguin resort at Cosey
Beach, East Haven, is now in his eighth
season at this place. Momauguin is
famous for its bathjng, its dancing, its
shore dinners, planked steaks, broiled
live lobsters, etc. One lobsterman at
Short Beach has a standing order from
Mr. Swift to give him every crustacean
he lands in his lobster pots. This as
sures fresh lobsters daily This lobster
mail must make" a good living out of it
for all he does in the winter is stay on
the place and wait for. the lobster sea
son to come around again. The chef de
cuisine at Momauguin is also noted for
his soups and s'auces like a true Cordon
bleu. Our readers may recall Vatel, the
chef of one of the French monarchs
who committed suicide because the fish
was not delivered for a state banquet.
Mr. Swift's chef would not commit
suicide but the lobsterman who failed
to deliver the supply would hear some
thing to his disadvantage if there was
such a misfortune. The dancing at
M6mauguin is from 8 to 12 o'clock.
Meals a la carte are furnished at all
times. The camouflaged bathing suits
are to be seen at Momauguin.
For shore dinners and banquets the
Tabard Inn, A. G. McDonald, proprie
tor, is retaining all of its popularity
This place has a distinguished cliente
who know in advance that anything
ordered at the Tabard Inn will be sat
isfactory. An excellent trolley service is main
tained to all of theee resorts on the
East shore.

Organized Labor of Connecticut,
which has been a consistent fighter for
the preservation of personal liberty and
the defeat of prohibition without refer

at the monster Anti-Prohibition dem

(Saturday) in a manner which will
leave no doubt as to how the workers
of this state stand on the issuef
Practically all the larger cities are
sending good sized delegations. New

Haven is expected to have at least 50
delegates present while Martford will
?end 20 and Bridgeport as many more.
Waterbury -"s also sending a delegation
and the smaller cities will range in rep
resentation from two to a dozen.
The state organizations of Labor will
also be represented as such by delegates,
the Connecticut Federation having
elected Frank P. Ganey of Meriden, a
member of the Bartenders Union of
that city and chairman of the conven

(Special to Connecticut Labor Press.)
Atlantic City, June 13. Out on the
far end of the great steel pier 547 dele
gates sit in deliberation on the problems
of the working people of America, striv
ing to reach conclusions that will re
sult in progress, avoiding both the
chaos of Bolshevism and the reaction of
the Bourbons.
Underneath them the waves of the
Atlantic lap ceaselessly at the piers and
tumble carelessly toward the sand.
Along the boardwalk a block' away the
promenade of the lame and the halt
and the luxuriating idlers goes on early
and late in "the mirth place of the na
tion. Between the A. F. of L. conven
tion Hall and the boardwalk there is a
great medical exhibit, staged by the
American Medical Association which is
in convention here. Plain clothes men
amble through the crowds on the alert
for bomb plotters, much to the dis
gust of the labor men who see no sense
in such proceedings. But the Mayor
has ordered the sleuths to pussyfoot and
so they pussyfoot ceaselessly.
There are some 14 colored delegates
in this convention. Four or five years
ago there were "" none. Finally one
straggled in and the number has m
creased rapidly. They represent Pacific
Coast oil field labor mostly. Their par
ticular fight is for an anti-lynching reso
lution. They nock together and make
themselves as unobtrusive as possible.
Matthew Woll has been re-elected
president of the International Labor
Press association. The convention of
the association was a lively one, with
some 50 or more labor editors present.
They recorded a general progress for
labor papers
When James Duncan reported for the
last labor mission to Europe he said that
after the Americans had conferred with
the French Confederation of Labor the
Frenchmen asked the Americans not to
divulge what had taker, place as it would
injure the Frenchmen whose position
had not accorded with the American
position. What was the American as
tonishment to find next morning in La
Battaile, organ of the French Confed
eration, a complete report of the pro
ceedings. European labor diplomacy
was a devious proposition.
President Gomners has not regained
all his old time vigor and he protects
himself from over-exertion, but he is
rapidly gaining strength and the con
vention will suffer not a bit from the
effects of his recent accident. Mrs.
Gompers occupies one of the visitors'
chairs, as in former conventions, a
kindly little lady who speaks softly and
gently despite misfortune s harshness.
J. Mahlon Barnes is here. "What are
you going to start?" he was asked. He
smiled and was non-committal. Barnes
has led many a fight on President Cam
pers, but he hasn't made any serious
dent yet. He has fewer supporters this
year than usual, it appears.
? : '
mm;
in Huge Gathering at Washington
Ira M. Ornburn, president of the New
Haven Trades Council and secretary of
the Connecticut Federation of Labor, is
the delegate from the New Haven
body.
There will be numerous other men of
prominence in the Labor movement of
Connecticut among the delegates and
many other organizations than those
directly engaged in the liquor business
will be represented.
That the demonstration will be one
of the most stupendous ever staged in
Washington is already assured. Thous
ands of representatives of Organized
Labor from all over the country will
assemble in the capital in order to im
press upon Congress the fact that the
millions of workers whom they repre
sent .want the prohibition laws repealed.
A notable feature will be the presence

the delegates will stage a big demon
stration on the capitol steps and then
send its committee with the resolution
adopted on Wednesday to the Congress
with the demand that the lawmakers
act on the protest at once.
This resolution, passed 26,475 to
4,005, urges the immediate repeal of the
war time prohibition measure and the
exemptibn of beer from the amendment
Adoption of the resolution came after
two hours of debate, in which Samuel
Gompers, president, as well as the Res
olutions Committe, spoke :n its favor.
Fortv newspapermen report the con
vention proceedings. At least 10 of
them are Bolsheviks and some of the
Bolsheviks do not represent Bolshevik
papers. Basil Manly, former joint
chairman of the War Labor Board, is
at the press table. So is Carl Sand
burg who has just tied for first prize
for the best book of poetry published
by an American during the year.
Andrew Furuseth is the most pessi
mistic delegate. He doesn't want to be
interviewed, but he did say to one re
porter that he couldn't see the "dawn
of a new day" visioned by so many. On
the contrary he sees the "sun setting on
human liberties.
Funny. .Questions are asked by the new
members of the newspaper contingent,
Here are some:
"Who's leading the opposition?''
"What will the fights be about?"
"Who is going to run against Gom
pers?" Old timers catch their breath and just
say repeatedly, "Nobody," or "Nothing.
When the International Labor Press
association adopted that section of the
president's report approving the work
of the American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy and urging support for it
the labor editors voted their yeas
with pep. It was unanimous and en
thusiastic. Margaret Bondfield, one of the Brit
ish fraternal delegates, finds congenial
friends among the more radical dele
gates. She is going from here to Chi
cago to attend a convention called for
the purpose of protesting against in
vasion of civil rights to which a great
many known pacifists are going. She
is a smiling little body who seems to

P Suzuki, of Japan, is here after an
absence of twe years. He represents

as the cherry blossoms of his island
home. Labor organizations is his life
work and though he smiles like cherrv
blossoms there are few flowers in the
real life of a Japanese labor organizer.
NO MOONEY STRIKE.
Federation Believes Its Moral
Force More Potent.
Atlantic City, N. J., June 11. Pros
pects for a general strike for Mooney
July 4 seemed to go glimmering today
with the introduction of the Mooney
resolution in the convention of the
American FederatH5n of Labor.
The Mooney resolution contains three
provisions as- follows: t
-',7. : " - "'
I S. i, r." . .4
to Show Congress That America's
The vote was taken by roll call after
such an individual poll had been de
manded by both the opponents of the
resolution, who "wanted the country to
know what factions stood behind the
movement to wipe from the laws of thi
nation the safeguards for the home,"
and those in favor, who declared they
"desired to have the nation know just
what districts were ready to stand up
for their rights and liberty as patriotic
citizens of the U. S. A."
.-.:
:
OTTO J. SCHUETZ.
The resolution declared that both war
time prohibition and permanent prohibi
tion as provided under the eighteenth
amendment were "principally intended
to deprive the workingman of the means
legally to secure a glass of beer after
the day's work," and that all 'restric
tive and sumptuary legislation has ifie
effect of destroying a part of the Ameri
can labor movement and in seriously
crippling many international organiza
tions affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor."
The main section declares :
"Resolved, That the American Fed
eration of Labor in convention as
sembled expresses disapproval of war
time prohibition, and that a strong pro
test from the delegates of the conven
tion be forwarded to the Government
at Washington setting forth in a most
emphatic manne r the opinion of the
delegates of the convention thet the
present mild beers of 2 per cent, alco
hol in weight should be exempted from
the provisions of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, and
also from the provisions of the war time
prohibition measure ; and be it further
"Resolved, That the Executive Coun
cil of the American Federation ,of Labor
be and is hereby instructed to convey '
these expressions through a committee
to the President of the United States
and tc the Congress and to do every
thing possible in its power to preserve
to the people of the United States their
freedom, liberty and democracy."
1 That the convention declare its
absolute conviction that Mooney has
been rhe victim of a frame-up. . ,
2 That a committee be appointed to
proceed to Washington in a final effort
to secure federal relief opening vhe
way to a new trial for Mooney.
3 That these steps failipg, the Fed
eration forward to all internationals a
proposal for a referendum ballot on a
general strike of perhaps 24 hours'
duration.
Mooney's friends declined to say
what effect this resolution would have
on the. strike proposed for July 4, but
it was freely predicted that the new
proposal would take the steam out ot
the July 4 movement.
Rumored threats of a Pacific coast
secession movement in the event of
failure to endorse the strike idea by the
Federetion was laughed at today by
Mooney's representatives who said that
the strike vote had been lighter on the
Pacific coast than on the Atlantic
coast. It had been expected that an
effort to get the July 4 strike endorsed
here would be made and the milder
tone of the proposal now made may win
some support that would not have gone
tc the more drastic proposal. It is more
than doubtful, however, that the 24
hour strike provision will come any
where near winning and the fact seems
to be that its proponents do not really
expect it to win. The belief of most
delegates seems to be that the moral
force of the Federation will ' be the
strongest force it can wield for Mooney

Phrase of The Connecticut Labor Press Makes Big Hit at Famous
Amusement Resort-Success of Bewitching Waves Fireworks
Every Friday Night Salisbury's Racers The Wilcox
Enterprises and Other Notable Features.
After a ride or a race on Dr.
deWaltoff'6 "Bewitching Wave" at Savin
Rock, the new aquatic spectacle at the
White City, a girl with bobbed hair
asked a girl whose hair ws not bobbed
what she was going to wear if they had
a masquerade there. The girl whose
hair was not bobbed and who probably
does not know that the war is over for
there were traces of war paint on her
cheeks said that she was going to put a
big wave in her hair and represent the
Atlantic Ocean
The "Bewitching Waves" has proved
to be one of the most popular features
ever introduced at the famous resort
It was invented by Dr. deWaltoff and
it not only provides a ride in a real
boat but there is also the fascination of
competition as the boats race side by
side and the outcome is as problematical
as some of the Yale-Harvard regattas
at New London although to qualify to
race in one of these boats the training
does not bring out boils on the neck as
the training the Yale students get does.
The slogan adopted by The Connecti
cut Labor Press for Savin Rock, "Con
necticut's Recreation Spot for Work
ers," or "The Playground for the Work
ingman" made a big hit all over the
Rock and has been generally adopted
by the merchants and concessionairies.
One of Dr. deWaltoff's representatives
with copies of recent numbers of this
paper before him said: "Those were
very effective articles in The Connecti
cut Labor Press about Savin Rock as
to this place being the playground of the
workingman and his family and we
hope the articles are continued. Tell
the editor to keep it up and arouse pub
lic opinion to the necessity of keeping
these amusements going so that there
can be no backward step. While every
thing is fine now and the prospects are
excellent, just keep the good work up."
The Orpheum Theater in the White
City is doing a fine business and there
is a change of program at every per
formance, afternoon and evening. The
finest films in the celluloid drama are
shown here. There is to be a grand
display of fireworks every Friday night
in the White City. This should prove
to be a very attractive feature for the
program will include many novelties in
addition to the standard display of
rockets, bombs, aerial bouquets, floating
flowers, etc., closing with a grand feu
de joie, 'which in a fireworks display
is about the same as a demi-tasse and
finger bowls at a banquet.
The F. B. Dashiell Company chain
of restaurants is in full swing now and
the four places are running as smooth
as the oil put into the salad dressing.
Mr. Dashiell is a veteran caterer and
conducts the Beach and White City res
taurants and the Grove and White City
lunches. A visitor from Feeding Hills,
Mass., was at the Rock the other day
and when he heard of the chain of eat
ing places he wanted to know if Mr.
Dashiell collected them like some people
collect old china or rare postage stamps.

The Connecticut Labor Press said that
he was greatly surprised at the volume
of business done considering the bad
weather. The lowering clouds threat
ened a heavy rain about all day and it
was not expected that many amusement
seekers would visit the resort, but ac
cording to Mr. Terrell the Wilcox -es-taurant
did a big business. This com
pany operates a carrousel, skee-ball,
bridge ball, the Whip and the Frolic.
A ride on the Whip or the Frolic is
good for the digestion
The big Racer at Savin Rock, con
ducted by Mr. Salisbury, opened the
season la.rt Sunday and all the machin
ery ran like clockvork. This is me of
the big features at Savin Rock and the
majority of sightseers enjoy a few rides
on the big Racer before they think of a
meal. Some claim that this ride is a
good appetizer and takes the place of
an aperitif, which is what the return
ing soldiers call a cocktail. If you den't
believe it, the next time vou see Jimmie
Maroney ask him for an aperitif. Mr.
Salisbury also conducted the Racer at
Lighthouse Point, which winds in and
about the trees, making one of the most
attractive rides of this class in the
country. The trees were there before
the Racer was built but if the architect
had tried to wish something on the pro
ject he could not h3ve devised anything
more satisfactory than the way the trees
grow at that spot and the cars winding
in and about the foliage is like a trip up
and down a mountain
Yale D. Bishop does not have to
travel far to be on the ground at both
of his enterprises. Mr. Mitchell, for
instance, goes to St. Petersburg, Flor
ida, in the winter, and to Mitchell's
Lighthouse Beach, the new name for
Lighthouse Point, in the summer. Mr.
Bishop keeps the Hotel Bishop in New
Hayen open the year round and in the
summer concentrates some of his energy
on Bishop's Colonnade at Savin Rock.
The Feeding Hills visitor quoted above
had -a shore dinner at the Colonnade
one day this week and told1 a friend
afterwards that he would not be sur
prised if Yale University . had been
named after Yale D. Bishop. When
told that the chances were that it was
the other way around he said that the

The New Far - East Chinese and
American restaurant at Savin Rock
combines the charm of the Orient and
the magic of the seashore and the place
is a replica of the noted restaurant on
Church street in New Haven. The
Savin Rock branch is located at 492
Beach street and the fine, culinary skill
and excellent service for which the New
Haven place is known will be found
here.
