HOMER CUMMINGS TOD CONSERVATIVE ‘Had Opposition from Democrats in West and South (Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, June 17.—Opposition among members of the democratic na- | tional committee to Homer S, Cum- mings of Connecticut for chairmanship of the committee is reported here to have a good deal of weight with the president and his advisers in selecting Vance D. McCormick of Harrisburg, Pa., to succeed Willlam F. McCombs - as chairman. It is said that Cuminings too conservative and too reserved to suit some of the western and southern members of the national committee. Mr. Cummings, as vice chairman of the committee, was' considered by some to be in line for the chairman- ship. He 1s understood to stand high with the president, but the latter is guided by a desire for harmony. The attitude .of certain members of the committee made it inadvisable to press the claims of Mr. Cummings. It is sald that some of Mr. Cummings’ business connections did not fit in with certain progressive campaign plans of the democratic managers. Whether Mr. Cummings was anxious for the chairmanship may be doubted, “but at any rate his candidacy has ceased now that the president has spoken the word in the matter of the selection of his campaign manager. AMr. Cummings is expected to vote with othsr members of the committee for McCormick for chairman, as the na- tional committee has for years recog- nized the paramount right of the can- didate for president to pick his mana- cger. is Rural Mail Service. It is learned at the postoffice de- partment that the reorganization of the rural mail service in Hartford county which has recommended some weeks ago, will go into effect : July 1. This decisicn has been reached after a reexamination of the sittfltion was made by Postal Inspector Bushea as the result of protests lodged with «he department by | Representative Oakey and others. The reorganiza- tion involves the elimination of five rural delivery routes in the county. No report has yet been received at the department upon a reinvestiga- tion of the rural mail service in Litch- fleld county with a view to reorganiz- ing it. That reinvestigation was or- dered after complaint was made to the department by Representative Glynn. The interstate commerce commis- sion has decided the complaint of the Monroe Grocer Co., of Monroe, La., against the New Haven railroad and other railroads. The case involved al- leged unreasonable charges on load- ed shells and metallic cartridges from .Bridgeport, Conn., to Monroe. The rate paid was eighty cents per 100 pounds. The rate claimed was sixty- five cents. The commission found the latter to be proper and awarded $45.60 reparation to the complainant. New regulations issued by the agri- cultural department under the Mec- Lean migratory bird law provide for a closed season on waterfowl in Con- “necticut from January 16 to Septem- ber 30, on rails between December 1 and August 31 next following, on shore birds from December 1 to Au- gust 15; on snipe between December 16 and September 15; on woodcock between December 1 and September 30 next following. : Local C. of C. Opposed. Except on one point the vote of Connecticut commercial organizations that are members of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States was in favor of a number of propositions looking toward im- proving the national defense. That one exception was the New Britain Chamber of Commerce, which cast three votes against the recommenda- tion of the national chamber that there should be a council of national defense created. On other propositions, seven in number, recommended by the cham- TERRIBLE ITCHING PIMPLES ON FACE Large, Red and Hard, Burned So Large Spots Appeared.

The other Connecticut member organiza- tions voted solidly, they being the Connecticut chamber of commerce, Hartford chamber, Meriden chamber, New Haven chamber of commerce and Connecticut lumber dealers &as- sociation New London, Norwich and South Manchester chambers of com- merce, Norwich board of trade, and ‘Willimantic board of trade and husi- ness association, incorporated, The propositions they voted for in- cluded the increase of military forces and industrial respurces, a staff of In- dustrial mobilization, restoration to the second ranking naval power of ihe world, a navy general staff, increase of the regular army, universal mili- tary training, education of private in- dustries in the manufacture of mnuni- tions, a large officers reserve corps, ete. The Shelton chamber of commerce's ballot came too late to be counted, but it indicated that it favored all the national defense proposals exrept universal military training. ‘The ‘Waterbury chamber did not vote, but stated that it favored preparedness and all proper measures for national defense. Vocational Education. Connecticut organization members of the United States chamber of com- merce are practically a unit in a raf- erendum vote that was taken apon several propositions relative to rfed- eral aid for vocational education. The only exception among the organiza- tions voting was the South Manch ter chamber, which voted against the suggestion that a federal board to supervise should appoint advisory committees representing industry, commerce, vocational education, but favored liberal federal appropriations, allotment of federal funds on a uni- form basis among the states, etc. All the committee’s recommendations were supported by the votes of other Connecticut members of the national chamber.

American Hardware. Proof of the ability of the Ameri- can manufacturer to compete with foreign manufacturers was presented in a graphic manner to the National Retail Hardware Dealers’ association at Boston in the course of an ad- dress by Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Sample Each Free by Malil With 32-p. Skin Book on request. Ade dress post-card **Cuticura, Dept. T, Bos« tom.” BSold throughout the world. Domestic Commerce, ment of Commerce. In order to show that the Ameri- can manufacturer has the advantage of his foreign competitor not only of the Depart- | 29 WEST MAIN STREET in quality of goods, not only in finish, but also in price, Dr. Pratt displayed side by side samples of hardware manufactured in Germany, France, England, Holland and the United States. Among the articles shown | were hammers, wrenches, curry | combs, rakes, razors, saws, axes, handles, shovels, locks, potato plant- ers, hay knives, etc. The speaker had with him® about twenty foreign-made samples of hardware which had been collected by commercial attaches in many countries. He had then obtained dup- licates or as near duplicates as pos- sible of American manufacture, tools | which were almost identical or which were designed to do exactly the same kind of work. He had the wholesale and retail prices of each article. The American manufacturer who is re- luctant to go into foreign trade he- cause he does not think he can com- | pete in price with the foreign man- ufacturer was told that in almost every case the advantage in price was in favor of the American manufac- turer. Dr. Pratt urged that this was of the very greatest importance to our foreign trade and that American manufacturers, and particularly man- ufacturers of hardware, m look forward to great opportunities in for- eign fields and ‘need not fear under- selling on the part of their foreign competitors when normal conditions are again restored. A typical comparison made by the Chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce was that of wrenches. He brought forward an English-made wrench and compared it with an American model designed to do exactly the same type of work. The wholesale price of the English wrench was 96 cents and the Amerl- can wrench, which was a much bet- ter made and more convenlently de- signed tool, wholesaled at 68 cents. The English wrench if imported into Brazil would have to pay 35 cents duty, the American wrench only 21 cents duty. The American wrench could, therefore, be placed in the hands of the Brazilian importer at 89 cents, while the English wrench would cost the same importer $1.31. Dr. Pratt also exhibited a French wrench which wholesaled at 75 cents and compared with it a much better "made American wrench for the same | class of work which wholesaled at 59 cents. Obviously one of the cheapest made articles which he exhibited w a bucksaw manufactured in Furope wholesaling at 42 cents. Many an American manufacturer would proh- ably throw up his hands and declare it was impossible to manufacture such an article to sell at a lower price. One American manufacturer has done it, however, and a bucksaw of better quality, of stronger material, and of | better design, sells wholesale at only | 35 cents. Three hay knives were also exhibit- | ed—one of German manufacture, one | of English manufacture, and one of | American manufacture. The English- made knife vseighed 8 1-2 pounds, wul REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE Open Monday and Saturday Evening of very crude design and sold whole- sale L the German-made knife v cumbersome, weigh- ing 10 pounds, wholesaled at $1.5 the American-made knife, which was not onlf better constructed but . a more efficient tool, weighed only + pounds and sold at wholesale for $7.50 per dozen. “I hope that I have definite idea that the government is endeavoring to assist the manufac- turer-who wishes to export,” said Dr. Pratt when he had finished his de- monstration. “I hope that I have shown you that the government's de- sire in this matter has taken a prac- tical turn and that the things we are doing to promote foreign trade are such as will produce definite and sat- isfactory results. Above everything | else, the bureau of foreign and do- mestic commerce is trying to make itself useful, and it can make itself useful to the community only if the | community makes known what it wants.
