RIGID LAWS NEEDED, There is no doubt in the minds of sincere Americans that the Federal the peace and dignity of the United States, and also that these laws should be more clearly defined. The great European war had scarcely been out this country all sorts of machina- tlons against the good will of the nation. Bridges were blown up, muni- tion factories destroyed, even the capi- tol itself was in danger. neutrality were where. in evidence every- There was not a state in the union where some plot was not hatched that had for its object the aiding and abetting of one of the belligerent nations. Attorney General Gregory believes the Federal laws should be so amended that they will not conflict with state laws. In some cases after the government investiga- tors had run down their quarry they were prevented from making prosecu- tions because state laws interfered and did not recognize as crimes the same deeds so branded by the federal laws, In some cases the plotters had violated state and yot federal laws, and then the government men were blocked in their endeavors. There is need for a general overhauling of the laws on the federal statute books. Ag the attor- ney general remarks: ‘‘Mere plotting alane is not criminal. Planning or preparation in this country of a mili- tary expedition designed to start from a point outside this country seemgs not to be forbidden by law. Hence many activities which produce constant fric- tion cannot be reached.” At least it is a disagreeable task to run dawn plotters of any nature. Once having them within hand it is more than dis- couraging to learn that the law does not apply in their cases. The Federal Government must, for the peace and honor of the country, see that there is a change made,—otherwise the United States will be constantly embarrassed during the course af future European wars. The new ordinances for protecting New Britain consumers against eased meat are in successful opera- tion. In November about 260 head of cattle were slaughtered under the su- pervision of the Health Department. No one thought there would be many; but there they are, and it now plain that the municipal abattoir will be nearly if not quite self sup- porting.

LO, THE MUNITION WORKER. An Economist Attributes to Him the Prime Cause of the High Cost of Idving. New Britain, Dec. 11, 1916 To the Editor of the Herald: The wealth of any nation is deter- mined according to production. With an enormous production and an equally enormous demand the people of that nation need have no fear of being fed and enjoying everything in plenty. The same condition applies to the United States, but insteéad of having plenty, we have little, the prices of different commodities are abnormal. Why is this you ask? Times are pros- perous. Of course they are prosper- ous. We never had so much business. Then why this high cost? Listen! Everybody realizes that we have speculators who are making large profits. Of course they are, they al- ways have, and there is no more use for the people ta accuse them than if it had been a hundred years ago. Look ta yourself and around you and you will find the reasons for ex- orbitant prices. The munition work- ers are almost wholly responsible for conditions as they are. The market of this country was fine until they started to make munitions, We had all the steel, copper, iron, ete.,\ that we could use but now you can hardly find any of it. > Where has it | gone? Well, there is one thing clear and that is th It has not gone to our benefit, as it should, for did we not produce it. Na, it has been used to tear down society in Eurcpe, and so to kill many a man. That is why we should call a mu- nition worker a parasite, because in- stead of using his energy to supply the needs of society, he takes the production of this cauntry and uses it to destroy it. Now, do you realize why the prices are so high? vYes, but you say it is no regson why the price of food is so high. Now, then, according to what has been shown you above, the mu- nition worker is not a producer, but he is an enemy to society, and for being that he draws a wage much larger than what his fellow warkers all over the world are getting, they who are the real producers, What does he do with his wage? Why he goes out and buys from the market anything he needs. Think of the irony of it. Goes out and buys something that someane else has pro- duced. The result is that he is a constant huyer on the market and all of the producers have to feed and clothe him. You can't satisfy hfi, there are too many like him. The upshot of it all is that we are working full time and enjoying prosperity as it were: we are filling the markets | but just as fast as we fill them, they | are bousht out, not alone by ourselves, | we who do the producing, but by those at all to us creators of high prices, their demands on society | ance, not anly in clothin | but also in all commodities relative to the manufacturing of munitions, Instead of receiving value for their | wark of destruction, they should dig | down into their own pockets and pay | us far the right to work. Fut the day is coming when all such because of for susten- | manufacturing shall end, then will the | parasites be thrown upon their own | resources and come besging from society.

ROBERTS. | JAIL THE AUTO SPEEDERS. | To the Editor of The Herald: There are hundreds of people this town, those who have to hanks Mare,” as a means of pro- | pulsion, who heartily agree with | | Chief of Police Rawlings’ idea, as ex- pressed by him in your Saturday's is- sue, regarding the disposition of the highway automobile hog—that of a good stiff jail sentence in place of a light fine, for violations of the speed laws and their utter criminal disre- gard of any rights the ordinary pedes- trian may have. It is marvelous how quickly a man becomes a hog the instant he gets behind a steering wheel. That some drastic measures must be adopted, immedlately, to teach these dare- devil drlvers a wholesome lesson, that { will protect the walking public from | accident, bodily mutilation and death, | other than a slight money fine, is be- | coming more apparent and demanded | each day. The only way to reform outrages, and punish violators of the | law, is to reform and punish, To obtain a thorough idea of way the speed laws are violated on our public streets and main thor- oughfares take a walk up West Main or Arch streets, either a few minutes after twelve o'clock, noon, and at six in the evening, hours when the streets are full of people returning from factories, when accidents are so much more lable to occur. The in- stant these auto drivers have passed the traffic officers, brakes are released and the *“juice given to her.” A forty mile clip is only a crawling pace to some of them in their mad determina- tion to pass that other fellow just ahead. “The public be dammed,"” what right have they on the streets when we want to race. Another very criminal piece of vio- lation is the omission of many driv- ers to give any alarm, or slacken speed when emerging from cross streets into -the main thoroughfares. If you happen to be crossing one of these streets, you have either to wait till the driver rushes around the corner, or take your chances of be- ing knocked down and run over. The auto is not expected to stop. Watch the corner of Washington and West Main street during rush hours. I suggest to Chief Rawlings that he keep his eye on the man next door to him, on Commercial street, who Is attired in Kai-ki and drives a motor- cycle. T do not know what this man'’s duties’are but he is a violator of the speed law. Monday evening, Dec. 4th, (vou see I have the date) a few minutes after six, when the walks were densely crowded with the oper- atives from Landers, Frary & Clark’s, this man came rushing from North in | use the | | Main street around the left-hand curb, his body and machine at an angle of almost forty-five degrees, without giv- ing any alarm or attempt to slacken his speed, the men and women, (the writer being one of them) having to run and jump to escape a contact. Again on the following evening, (Tuesday) he crossed the sidewalk from the road, to enter the engine house, with a rush, without giving any signal or without dismounting, the again having to sprins ahead or jump back to avoid being struck. This man should be immediately ex- amined in the ‘rules of first aid to safet: With the great increase of the auto- mobile and business truck, the danger of accidents is dally growing, and there is but one way to avoid serious accidents and deaths, which must oc- cur, unless some restraint is placed on speed and violators severely pun- ished. I would suggest, Mr., Hditor, that an officer, in private dress, or some one clothed with official author- ity, be assigned to tirese streets, dur- ing rush hours, or on regular duty, to give information and evidence to Chief Rawlings, against these speed violators, then have them brought be- fore the court and given a rest in Seyms street, or Wethersfield. One acation wWould in all probability be sufficient. There should be no dis- tinction or partiality between the early bread wagon, the noonday merchant or manufacturer, or the half-drunken midnight reveler——show neither fear nor favor. Let The Herald take up this cru- sade against this reckless disregard of human rights, and the public back up the chief and Judge Meskill, in the enforcement of this much needed reform. It is up to the public. A PEDESTRIAN. GERMANY'S TERMS FOR MAKING PEACE (Continued From First nied reports that some peace propos- | als was about to be made by President Wilson, there was no open indication that the Central Powers themselves were about to make one, One prevailing opinion was that the | Germanic allies had brought out their peace offer at this time with the ex- pectation of making terms which might be acceptable to the Allies if | England and, in effect, might possibly cause the British government to yield | the pressure of the nations fighting with her. In this connection the re- cent crisis in Russia in which the Du- | ma interfered to prevent the negotia- tions of a separate peace with Ger- | many was recalled as an indication of what the German foreign office might be looking forward to in peace nego- tiations. Despatches to the German embassy telling of the chancellor’'s action in calling in the neutral diplomats and transmitting the peace proposals of the Central powers, arrived soon after the news dispatches. The terms for the restoration of Belgium' and por tions of France gave no indication, so | ar as is known, of stipulations such as generally have been expected by the allies, although they did not ab- Page). Among the useful gifts that au;m.[ tearing your hear and calling all sorts | solutely dispose of their possibility. It was indicated that while the German allies might not entirely expect that the proposals would actually cause a peace conference, they were not with- out hope that they would, and they were hopeful at least that they would be the means of getting. the bellig- erents together in some manner to discuss the situation, and this, it was expected, would lead to a basis for peace. In German quarters the crisis in the British cabinet, the coming of winter and the lull in the fighting are given as reasons for making the peace prop: Is at this time. BETTER FAGILITIES AT B. R. CROSSINGS (Continued From First Page). ton street crossing Saturday sent | Fireman Claughsey into eternity, ex- | plained that a switching train ob- | scured his view and he had no warn- | ing that the express was near. Had | there been a tower at that point, in- | stead of the ground-level shanty, it is | believed that the accident would not | have taken place. As a result of their ! investigation. officials, police and | others, says they are convinced that the railroad is largely responsible, in- stead of Jones, Those who have made a stndy of conditions point to the railroad as dis- couraging, through the wage-scale | and hours, applications from the bet- ter class of men, ordinarily, and thosc | competent to properly guard the live: and property of those who have to use the crossings many times daily. Com- pared with the $3 or $4 a day that is being paid common laborers for eight or ten hours’ work, the gatetenders receive about $1.65 for twelve hours' work. The city government and chamber of commerce will not, it is believed and intimated, take no action rela- tive to the wage scale or hour regu- lations but will insist that the cross- ings be made safe. I1f New Britain has got to have #he ever-dangerous grade crossings, it wili be insisted that all proper safety regulations be in- stalled and that they shall not con- tinue to be veritable death traps. In their petition to the New Haven road, asking that the provisions go in- to effect May 5 of this year, the gate- tenders asked, among other things that ten hours, instead of twelve, con- stitute a day’'s work and that the wage scale be §2.25 a day, instead of §1.65 a day, at a fraction of less than thirteen cents an hour. Through Judge John H. Kirkham. their coun- sel, they asked that all over ten hours be considered overtime and payable at a rate of twenty-five cents an hour. Two of the men, working at difficult and busy crossings, then working nine hours regularly per day at $1.65 per day asked that there be an increase to $2.25 per day of nine hours with -five cents overtime. y further asked that: ‘At cross ings where the view is obstructed by cars on sidings, the house provided for the watchman's use, be built high enough, so men in charge can have a clear view over the tops of such cars at all times, for any movement that may approach the crossing in either direction. ““At crossings where buildings struct the view, as well as other ob- Jects, a signal system of some kind be installed to warn the man in charge that the crossing 1s being approached. ‘This is also necessary because of fog and storm.” The men also asked that windows in crossing houses that are so placed as to partly prevent the view of the crossing be so changed to a position as to give clear view at all times. Relative to the petition Mavor Quig- ley wrote to Judge Kirkham at that time as follows: ob- April 20, 1916. “Mr. John H.

The health board authorities state that they have warned Falk on numerous occasions about keeping his dairy in a sanitary condition and about selling clean milk, but the warnings seem to have been unheeded. The hoard will recommend that Falk's license be revoked on the ground that he is an unfit person to hold one. Two other milk men brought ‘“on the carpet” for alleged violation of sanitary laws. As this is the first offense of each the board will not make public their names, but shauld they fail to heed the warning given they will lose their licenses »n the second offense. Superintendent T. . Reeks states that he is through giving offenders so many chances since he finds that they do not profit thereby and hereafter he will prompt action against them on second offense, At this afternoon’s meeting a recommendation will also be made to appoint a caretaker of the new muni- cipal slaughter house. This ap pointee’s duty would be to keep the place clean.

If the general assemBly grants this request and the company { does the work immediately, it means that before another year rolls around the Pleasant street trolley line will turn, at its present terminus at the corner of Pleasant and Falrview streets, into Fairview street, whence it will extend in a southerly direction to Kelsey street.
