THLEPHON. siness Ofmce . ovial Rooms men were accused of dipping, haled into court and they lawyer who succeeded in their discharge. b The lunchmen claimed that ac- cording to the ordinance the only legal way to serve milk in a restaurant is to bring in the cow. According to their ideas the dipping ordinance is the most complete effort towards pure food that has thus far been attempt- ed, but that it is impossible to bring in the cow every time milk is needed in a restaurant. In the small towns of the state cows are milked only twice a day, morning and night, but the New Haven ordinance would have this interesting work performed every fifteen minutes, and it is feared that the supply would not hold out. were hired a obtaining PLAINVILLE BUSINESS DINE. Jor several years the Plainville Business and Improvement associa- tion has held an annual banquet; each time an effort has been made to outdo all former efforts, and last night's gathering marks one of the most plearan[ meetings the association has ever had. The speeches were of the best, the sentiment expressed was just what counts among business men; those who gathered about the festive board liked it and when the people of our neighboring town read the re- port in their Herald this evening they, toe, will appreciate the encouraging remarks made. Plainville is a busy place; consid- erable manufacturing is carried on there, the factories are running well and the hands are remuneratively em- ployed. The town is located on two railroads. In this respect it has an advantage over many other towns of greater pretensions and its increas- ing prosperity is attracting attention throughout the state. Its business men are active, have good ideas and their progressiveness is yearly adding to the importance of the community. ‘The annual banquet brings the vari- ous business interests of the town together and the exchange of ideas, ithe speeches and evidence of good iwill are doing a great deal towards Luniting the place in a bond of good fellowship that makes for a larger degree of business.. This association i8 bound to increase in importance, the fleld it represents to grow and prosper and the old town itself to take its proper place among the thriv- ing communities of Connecticut. RAILROAD OCASE. The only reasonable conclusion that can be reached from reading the tes- timony now being given before the interstate commerce commission con- 'cerfiing the New York, New Haven and ' Hartford railroad is to wonder how the old corporation ever stood up so long under the drain to which) it had been subjected and further- more how those who were engaged in its). management could ever have ‘thought that anything else but ruin could possibly come from the reck- less course which it followed. There is hardly any doubt but that a large portion of the money of the corpora- tion went to placate certain interests in order that the plans of the man- agement might be carried out. It ‘would be interesting to know who received all this money, but the books containing records of many transac- tions hawe been destroved, those who have had cHarge of these deals are unable tosrecall the transactions and although there are many questions asked as to why something cannot | be done to refresh their memory, the queries still remain unanswered. The rallroad is a great piece of property and it is generally regretted | that it should have been permitted to drop into its present financial con- 'dition. It needs fostering now and 'the efforts to rehabilitate it shouid be encouraged, There is reason to believe that it is now in friendly ‘hands and that when it reaches that condition where it will confine itself to the line of business which it was organized to carry on it will again be & paving institution. In the mean- time tHe investigation at Washington ' needs to be thorough and if possible 4t should be determined where all the _money went to and who got it. A ;ge sum has evidently gone in the ong direction. . NEW HAVEN'S IDEA OF HOW TO SERVE MILK. New Haven has an ordinance which 'seeks to provide pure, unadulterated _milk for patrons of lunchrooms. It has not the same object for regular ‘.eu:tomers, but that is because of some ' misufiderstanding that will be cleared up when the authorities are feeling ‘right. Thers were twelve lunchmen b fore the court yesterday for violat- ing the anti-dipping ordinance which gays that it shall be unlawful for any person to remove milk from a can by dipping another canior dipper into . The only lawful method 18 ‘can up on the shoulder ANNOYING ROCKEFELLER. It'is a good thing that all people do not think alike because if they did it would be a peculiar country. It is this difference in thought that leads many people to do peculiar things and give expression to strange ideas. There is a strike in Colorado in a mine owned largely by the’ son of John D. Rockefeller who says that there is nothing to arbitrate and as a result the trouble continues, many people have been killed and the pres- ident of the United States has sent troops there to quell the disturbance. Mr. Rockefeller has a residence in New York and Upton Sinclair and two women have been parading up and down in front of the house each wearing a badge containing the words, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” So long as they kept marching they vio- lated no law but when they stopped and began to exchange ideas they were arrested, fined and in default of payment were sent to jail where, it is announced, they will engage in a hunger strike. When they come out, it is stated that Mr. Sinclair will ob- tain a heéarse, will station it in front of Mr. Rockefeller's home and when he comes out to go to his office, the- ater or anywhere else Sinclair will follow with the hearse. The object of this plan is to force Mr. Rockefel- ler to arbitrate the Colorado troubles. Another mourners’ march was started in front of the Rockefeller home yesterday and to add to curiosity a womah appeared and de- manded of a crowd that they follow her to Mr. -Rockefeller's office, saying that if he did not take action in Colorado she would do so herself. The crowd ran after her and fearing the police she dodged into the Standard Oil building, jumped into the eleva- tor, telling the operator if he did not get busy she would put him out and run it herself. She pounced on the negro doorman at the entrance of Mr. Rockefeller's office, demanded an interview with him and almost scared the wits out of the poor colored man who yelled from the corner of a door that Mr. Rockefeller wasn't in. That is a sample of the methods employed by some men and women in New York to bring about a settlement’ of the Colorado industrial trouble. It cannot be possible that these peo- ple are in their right mind or that they are proper persons to be at large. They have no intérest in the Colorado affair and their actions show conclusively that they do not understand its nature, the rights of the American people or the duties of American citizens. This is a free country but some people do not un- derstand what that means, either. They also have a distorted idea of the meaning of free speech and the soon- er they are cured of it the better it will be for the country and those who fail to grasp the true meaning of lib- erty. LOW AWNINGS. A Holyoke girl was awarded $2,- 900 damages in a Massachusetts court yesterday for injuries received by striking the iron bar of an awning which was not suspended high enough above the walk to permit people to pass under it in safety. It was rain- ing at the time of the accident and the girl seeking protection from the storm ran under the awning and was struck with the bar. / People are liable to meet with such accidents in other places besides Hol- yoke, and here in New Britain there are many such awnings with all the attendant dangers. When E. N. Humphrey was a member of the common council he repeatedly urged action against low awnings and some reform followed this agitation, but the cause was not all removed. Awnings that are too low can be found on many of the side streets and in wet weather they are a nuisance as well as a danger and that they have not caused accidents and resultant law suits i{s surprising. The New Britain ordinances provide that all awnings extending out over the sidewalks shall be at least seven feet at the lowest point above the \walk. Some of these awnings aro | not. six fett above the walk and it is impossible to pass under them in wet weather ’Mfim,t striking the droop- e the | NEW' BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1914.
