NEW RUSSIAN LAWS 1% f}ms'r ENEMIES 2 ‘v il of Ministers Auun&-ized Coun t Close Stock Companies Operated ‘Within'thé Empire, (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.): Petrograd, May 31.—The new Rus- sian laws, «drected against ‘‘enemy corporations” operating in Russia, are thus officially summarized: ‘“The measures authorize the coun- cil of ministers to close stock compan- ies operating under statutes sanctioned within the empire, with the appoint- ment of a special board for the liquid- ation of the business in those casts where' the actual management is in the hands of subjgcts, companes or appear to be harmful or dangerous 1o the state. ' It is provided;, however, that the rights of creditors are not to be infringed,: ?nd that the interests of stock holders ‘are to Be observed -as far as possible. ““As an alternative, the council may appoint a special board of manage- ment for the business of such a lien companies, without closing them or taking them over. “The same regulations are to be ap- plied also to partnershps if any of the full partners are subjects of enemy countries, if it s found that the work of these partnerships is harmful or dangerous to 'the' intertsts of the state.” The codifying of these special meas- ures against *“enemy” companies and partnerships is presumably done in an effort to restrict illicit trade with Germany and Austria, which has been going on to a certain extent through Scandinavia since the beginning of the war. NEW ICE CONTRACTS, Rhoades Not to Be Allowed to Supply Public Drinking Fountains, The committee on supplies and printing of the common council in- tends to issue a call soon for new bids on furnishing ice to public drinking fountains. Mayor = Quigley disap- .proves of the awarding of tae contract to Bdgar Rhoades, whose contract for the purchase of the municipal ice crop has been abrogated owing to his financial difiiculties. Rhoades has been given the contract to supply the fountains, but as he owes the city money Mayor Quigley ddes not be- lieve it would be consistent to allow nim to keep it. There is no end of criticism of the decision to sell Rhoades the municipal ice crop, as it is said that if those who had the authority to sell the ice had investigated they would have seen quickly that Rhoades would be un- @ble to make money on the proposi- tion In that event, public opinion says, it would have been an Injustice to allow him to close the deal. Criti- cism is also heard because those {in authority did not publicly call for bids and give others an opportunity to buy the ice. Had this beéen done, it is believed that matters would have gone more smoothly. WOMEN CENSORS FAILURE. British War Office Discharges Several Female Employes. London, May 8lL-—Women have Dbeen found unsuitable for work as government censors in London. It is officially anouced by the war office, ‘that a number of women censors, c¢mployed, have been discharged “hav- ing been found either incompetent or unsuitable for the work.” Of the 581 censors now employed in inspecting mail from the continent, 53 ar& Belgians, 7 are Russians, and 4 are French. The cexnsors of British rationality number 480. Other na- tmnauues represented are: Danes, 12; Dutch, 8; Norwegians 6; Portu- gese, 8; Swedes, 3: Swiss, 2: Italians, 1; Spaniards, 1; Moroccans, 1. The Failure of the “War Zone.” (World's Work for June.) The German® decree became effec- tive on Febrdary 18. The Lusitania was sunk on May Tth. | In those 78 days, German mines destroyed & p]rtjs in that zone,’ German mines or jor- pedoes destroved 3 ships, 1 shipl¥. burned, and torpedoes from German submarines, destroyed 81 ships—or 90. ships in all. Of these vessels, were British, 5 were French 3 “ere Russian. The rest sailed under neu- tral” * ‘flags—American, Norwegiany Dutch,” Swedish, ‘Greek and Danish. It this record was Germany’s best answer to FEngland’s policy of star. vation, it was ‘a failure. Ninety ships destroyed in 78 days is at the rate of 1 1-6 ship a day. In 1912, ’Grea: Britain had 3,386 sailing ves- sels and 9,672 steam ;vessels engaged in coastwise and forelgn trade, or 13,- 058" vessels in all. To destroy these ships at the rate of 1.1-6 ships a day would reuire 11,257 days or 30 years. 10 months, and 7 days. (No allow- ance is made for new ships which Britain would bufld in that time.) In foreign trade alone, Great Britaln had 242 salling vessels and 4,128 steam vesséls (4,370 in all), and to destroy e all the same rate would require sl'flf&egg-. . nionthsand 27 days. |2 system is permitted .to lapse | zet along together, MINISTRY ' OF COMM Advocated by Assoélation of | Trade Protection Societies in .London, London," May 31.—At the annual meeting of the Association of Trade Protection societies _a resolution was passed urging the establishment of a | ministry of commerce and expressing | the belief that such a ministry uld | | have prevented many of the difficul- ties which have arisen during the re- cent months, The matter has been taken up hy several newspapers and although the question of cost is considerable it is argued that the work now being done partly by the foreign office, the bhoard ;nf trade and the Colonial office would, if co-ordinated and consolidated in a single branch, greatly assist in the extension of British trade and at the same tiine smooth the contraband dif- feulties Which traders in almost gvery branch of commerce are suffering from at the present time. 4 APPEAL FOR GLASSES, (Correspondcnce of the Assoclated Press.) { London, May 31.—While hundr(‘flsi of appeals for field glasses appear in | the personél columns of the London { papers’ in behalf of young officers at the front, the, followers of the races still have plenty of binoculars With which to view the horses. ‘A picture of the grounds at Newmarket, showing the crowad h glasses to eyes fol- lowing the race, appears in one of the London newspapers, while below ap- pears the appcal for these instruments made by Lady Roberts. Commissioned officers must largely furnish their own kit in the British army, and their pay is only nominal, Glasses aye nat- urally out of the reach of the non- : commissioned officers. One of the last acts of Lord Rqberts was an appeal to sportsmen for glasses for the front, .,and before leaving on his trip to France he wrote a second appeal, which was found after his death, A Good Plan Gone Wrong. (Waterbury Democrat.) :New . York manufacturers have served notice that the famous pro- tocol, written by Louis D. Brandeis, which five years ago established peace in the great garmept-making industry, is terminated. . Under that arrangement, ;until: Mtely, thes indus. try flourished as mnever before, with mutual advantage to employers and | employes. Working conditions were immensely improved, wages were raised, employment was more reg- ular, workers were more conscien- tious and dependable, and the whele industry ran more smoothly and ef- ficiently. Justice was done to bath sides. There was suitable machin- ery for represeentatives of employ- | ers ‘and employes getting' together | and talking things over, and adjust- ment was usually simple and easy. But finally distrust arose between the two sets of men charged with the duty. of carrying on the plan, and bitterness grew until it caused a ‘break. It will be a mournful omen for American industry if so’ excellent be_ cause individual representatives of the employers and the workers can't and national co- operation gives way to the old regime of chaos and vialence, . As a Trustee. (Hartford Times.) Significant in connection . with the war is the extent to which the for- eign anfbassadors of this couniry have been trusted with the responsibility of representing the financial and other business interests of those at war. »To these ‘representatives scarcely one of ibe nations at war has not, in one way ! or another, either at the beginning or | later in the war, failed to appeal ”l 4 friend and a go-between fn impor- | tant matters. Reference of this kind | comes as a high compliment to this country and to its dipiomats,' and there is mo indication that they ‘are failing in this most extraordinary re- sponsibility to acquit themseives with credit to themselves and to the United states. : BDage-Allen & HARTFORD Dining Room Furnitur A CHANCE FOR JUNE NEWLYWEDS AND OTHERS TO GET THE Ma...
