NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 19186. 1Y HAVE TEA PARTY “Salety First—Public Second” New Slogan of Chairman Babcock Can't three men get together and talk about the flshing, or the weather, without the whole town wanting to know Chairman E. G. about it?” whined Babcock of the board of public safety when questioned about the star of the above board held last evening in the City hall. | “That's all I've got to say,” was his answer ventured chamber session when the reporter that the attitude of chairman and of Howard Steele, conducive to suggest the honorable one his honorable in the board, had supposition past hardly been that the weather convenient subject of conversation between the two. “We along all together,” sald “In fact I was talking witn over the this morning.” The chairman, refused to say whether the was still under discussion. Here's how the meeting ran, accord- ing to the impression one and all on the board would like to convey. ‘“Mr. Steele, Howard if I ma would you like a little more of this lemon with bur orange pekoe, or will it prove too strong for you? Really I find that this habit of mine is becoming most excessive. Actually I consume two cups of the hateful liquid in a day.” That from Babcock; this from Howard, “My dear fellow, really you should curb that pernicious instinct for the brew. I find that my mental- ity is far below its usual par when even one cup has been absorbed by my system. This evening is one for which I have long hoped. We are gathered in peace and quiet, with no scribe to write upon the page of his- tory our doings, with no one to blazon upon the skies the glory of our deeds. Let us to gentle mental stimulus then, let us talk about the weather, surely not too absorbing a toplc for such an evening. We must not fag our pro- clous brains with heavy matters un- less there are others to overhear us. It is wasted effort indeed.” What really transpired is a matter of conjecture pure and simple. One man, who is to stand before the voters in the fall as a candldate for repre- sentative, and stand upon his record, another who is using the office sup- plied by the people and receiving pay from the people for doing the business of the people, and still another, who is probably the minority representa- tive of the board, met to discuss what was undoubtedly city business and re- fused to allow the pre which is working for the people, to know whas as going on. The board, at one with administration, has promised to light to be shed upon its every that promise That is all. If they really did talk about the weather the reporter would not have stayed, as a matter of choice. He had work to do. If tea was served it would hardly have appealed to the report But if Mr. Steele and Mr. Babcock were having it out on any matter whatsoever he would have wel- comed the opportunity to let the pub- to the would form a get right Babeocl, him phone however, weather the allow action and has broken lic know of the settlement, or the be- ginning of he feud. No one knew that better than those two. And even the clerk of the board was excluded. Finally, if Mr. Steele and Mr. 3ab- cock had been talking about fishing, the reporter, knowing them as he does now, would hardly have listened as fish tales are plentiful these day Tt Is reported that the meeting was held to discipline Callman Hills of the fire department, who is alleged to have been reported by Captain Souney for being in an intoxicated condition. The hoard members are said to be rather reticent about allow- ing the demerits of their underlings to hecome apparent, hence the quiet meeting.

EDDIE AND HOWARD | Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter (Special to the Herald.) New York, August 26.—The rail- road dispute, it is to be hoped, Is close upon adjustment. The president has undertaken to settle the dispute ac- cording to his best judgment, al- though it would have been better, in the opinion aof many disinterested persons, had the question been first submitted to arbitration, thus avoiding prejudgment without evidence and facilitating the creation of a public opinion based upon knowledge of facts. In this controversy there aro many important interests involved other than those of the men who ini- tiated the movement. Many thousands of railroad employees would be ad- versely affected by a strike: the public would be sorely inconvenienced; many industries would be paralyzed, and thousands of innocent investors ser- iously injured. In effect, a general strike would be a natfonal hold-up, and the verdict of the people would certainly be ‘never again”. Even railroads have some rights. At rresent they are enjoying large gains in both gross and net earnings, but traffic is abnormal and cannot con- tinue permanently at present volume, Costs of operation are increasing in &1l directions. Necessary Improve- | ments have often been deferred; and | in spite of present prosperity the rail- | rcads have serious prablems ahead especially certain of the weaker tems, which under any material cr pensation would fall into bankruptey, The question of meeting growing casts of operation is a serious one, unless the companies are allowed to reconp themselves, as any other business | concern may do, by an increase of pay for services rendered. Thus far little has been heard from the hundreds of thousands, nay, millions, of people interested in railroads as sharcholders or bondholders. Such a list goes far beyond the numbers of direct Invest- | ors, and includes every financial in- stitution, their customers, their stock- holders, every savings bank depositor, every life and fire insurance policy- holder, as well as the numberless In- stitutions devated to financial, com- | mercial, educational, humanitarian and other public purposes. The great majority of people ignorantly suppose that the railroads are owned by a few rich individuals, and very few people appreclate either their wide distribu- | tion of ownership through indirect channels, or the disastrous consequen- ces that would fall upon the public by injuring the railroads. There is no class of investments so widely and so vitally wrought into our innumer- able nattonal activitles and Institu- tions as railroad securities. I must confess that ta advance wages 20 per cent. at one stroke is pretty steep for the railroads to stand; for that is what it means to reduce the working day to elght hours. If it came about by gradual instalments covering a varying period, it would be less difficult for the railroads to meet, Tt occurs to me that the situation calls for a corresponding advance In rafl- rond rates by the Interstate Com- nierce Commission Changes on hoth sides ought to be automatic, the rail- roads agreeing, as fast as the Com- mission advances the rates, to lower the working hours in the same ratio until an elght hour day is reached. After that, should it become necessary to lessen the railroad rates, the hours for labor should be increased accord- ingly. It appears to me this would be 2 just way of meeting the present lubor vs. railroad situation. T throw this out merely as a suggestion to cquitably adjust the matter between the rallroads and the unions. At any rate, let it be tried until a better plan | can be substituted. For a long period there has been a strang speculative disposition in the stock market based upon trade activi- ty, easy money and war inflation. Thus far this tendency has not had free play owing to the policy of re- straint imposed by conservative bank- ing interests; alsc to the steady pres- sure of forelgn liquidation which has shown itself at every rally. Moreover, there is a feeling that present ab- normal profits are purely temporary, and that any undue speculation based upon the assumption of their con- | tinuance might lead ta dfsastrous | consequences. This week, however, | there were notable exceptions,—tho | outhreak of speculative activity in United States Steel, Tnternatlonal in- se of expenditures without com- ! tional Marine and some of the motor | position and stimulate fresh buying. plants are being started all aver the world; all of which means a tremend- ous demand for steel, so that the United States, much the largest pro- | ducer In the world, will be called upon to fill a considerable portion of this void. Prices may not continue as high as now, but with such de- mands in view, no great decline will | be possible. Whether in war or| peace, the next two or three years are almost sure to be periods of great activity In the American steel in¢ustry and the volume of business will be large, through the ratio of profits may decline, While this is the period of summer quiet, the trade outlook is regarded as satisfactory, and this in spite of a harvest which promises to be below the ten-year average. Corn improved somewhat in condition last week, but cotton deteriorated further, and prices again touched the high level. Our wheat harvest is now in full progress and prices of this staple are very high. There is little doubt but that he profits of agriculture for the current yvear will be exceedingly satisfactory. The better outlook, hawever, is based more upon our industrial activity than crops. It must not be forgotten that the whole country, especially the sectlan FEas of the Mississippi, is pawerful affected by war inflation, casy money, the enormous addition to our gold supplies, the new Federal Reserve law and the great expansion ot credit facilities, plus continued foreign purchases of munitions. These are factors upon whch our present sctivity based, and they promiso to carry us forward until their force is exhausted; a contingency not yet in sight and one likely to be checked only by weakened buying capacit which is probably many months away At the same time, the stock ma \rl\ot through excessive purchases on the long side, had fallen into a somewhat akened technical positian. The lorge profits made in Steel, Interna- shares naturally induced an active realizing movement. It is also to'hc- remembered that foreign liquidatian on British account seems to be invited hy every sharp rise, especially in the railroad shares. The success of the recent British loan, while it will partially relieve the pressure of for- eign liquidation, is not likely to cause its supension. The general market is in sound condition, and a maderate re- action would undoubtedly imprave its HENRY CLEWS. SON-IN-LAW SUES FOR ALIENATION (Claims Wile’s Parents Robbed Him of Daughter’s Love Aug. 26.—John Findlay Wallace, President of Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co., of 37 Wall street, and the first American chief engineer of the Panama Canal, and his wife, Mrs. Sadie W. ‘Wallace, have been made defendants in a suit for $100,- 000, brought against them by Pierre Joseph Le May, their son-in-law, who is an actor and resides at 22 East Sixty-sixth street. In the complaint filed in the Coun- ty Clerk’s office by Abraham Peck of New York, 261 Broadway, Le May charged that Mr. and Mrs. Wallace had conspired to separate their daughter, Berdina Wallace Orr, from the plaintiff, nf((‘r1 having opposed her marriage to him. Le May said that, though he had lived harmoniously with his wife, her par- ents had exercised control over her mind and person and—this upon in- formation and belief—*“by acts, prom- ises, and the payment of money, and Dby representing to her that the plain- | tiff was not fit to be her husband, aF | her mind and affection from | fenated him.” Le M: met Mrs. Orr in 1908, when, he sald, she was the divorced wife of Thomas Orr of Chicago. He was in- troduced to her at the Iroquois hotel in this city by Mrs. Robert Drouet, a Mercantile Marine and Reading affect- | ing tQe entire market. On Tuesday | this activity assumed aggressive pro- | portions. These securities reachec the highest prices an this movement Steel making a new record, and the | day’'s total sales ran over 1,300,000 shares; the three shares just men tioned constituting about one-third | of the day's transactions. The activity in Steel was based upon the phenomenal earnings of the com- pany, which surpassed all possible mmagination and fnevitably placed the company in an exceedingly strong position for meeting future emergen- cles. These profits naturally created a belief that the campany cannot in- definitely refuse stockholders a| larger share in present prosperity. As for the future of the steel trade, it is 10cognized that war orders cannot last much longer, and it is peace, not war, which in future must determine the basis of progress. Reconstruction demands after the war will, as is al- ready known, be enormous. Neither Great Britain nor Germany will be ablo for some time to come to meet tho demands upon them from this source. The devastation of Europe will cause an enormous demand for steel to r store railroad plant, equipment, fa tories, machinery, etc.; demands which will not be satisfled without our help. It is also estimated that five or six million tons of shipping have been lost, displaced or worn out by the war. Great Britain has already suffered to the extent of 4,000,000 tans through. submarines, depreclation and extra wear. Hor thipyards will face a shipbuilding boom after the war.

They were married in Hoboken on March , 1911, and went to live at 578 West nd Avenue. He said last night that his father, Joseph Le May of this city, fist ob- | jected to his friendship with Mrs. Orr hecause of the difference in their ag Mr. Wallace, he said, also objected, and the result was that Mrs. Orr was sent to Boulder, Col,, where she mained for six months. Marriage Kept Secret. On her return to w York, Le May said, he met her by chance on a Fifth avenue bus. They ‘“talked things over,” he added, and the next day went to Hoboken, where they were married, but it was not until a month later, he said, that the Wal- laces learned of the marriage. The lease of the apartment in West | End Avenue, Le May said, was in the | name of his wife's mother. Just how | this occurred he could not remember. He said he and his bride lived hap- pily until June 10, 1911, when they had what he described as a “squab- ble,” which, he sald, grew out of the fact that his wife did not like his pro- fession, and thought that it threw him too often in the society of other wom- en. In a rather resigned voic told how after the “squabbl come home to find the empty. His wife, he said, had de- parted with her mother, who, he said, had left orders that no one was to be admitted to the apartment. For five days, he said, he remained Uone in the apartment waiting for his | wife to return. He also described the various efforts he had made since then to induce her to return to him.

Ho walted, he said, but Mrs. Le Mas did not meet him. Another time he telephoned to her mother’s apartment, and all the information he could get was that his wife was out of town and he could write to her, addressing the letter to her parents’ home. “I have waited and tried to meet her,” he said, “and now I have de- termined to sue.” Le May said he was now in the movies. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace live at the Apthorp, Seventy-ninth street and Broadway. It was id thero last night that they were not at home.
