In connection with the carnival now being held on Walnut Hill Park there is object for the city that may not be ignored in the dance floor up by local Its popularity is proof of the demand for some such an accommo- dation to the as a permanent There has an lesson being conducted there people. public institution. been a request for park published under a communicated also a public dancing pavilion on the heading in this paper, there is a surprising sentiment for one among many people who have not announced their feelings. Tite number of dancers enjoying themselves each evening on the municipal floor will aid the ject should a sufficient interest taken by those in authority to watch the dancers and notice there nightly, taking advantage of the opportunity to dance. It is said that there have been 93,- 000 paid admissions, at ten apiece, to the dance pavilion in Colt’s Park this season. New Britain could afford to puy a pavilion at this rate self in a short time, besides allowing the youth of the city to give vent to their want for dancing, perfect surroundings. It is claimed that pavilion, with sufficient covering and a good floor be built for about five thousand dollars. At this fifty thousand paid admissions pay for the erection of the pavilion. Music, of course, wiil add to the ex- pense but it is safe to say that the cost of the building will be covered in one season. After that it should earn the price of a band or orchestra as it goes along. There is every feason why the Com- mon Council should observe the de- mand, of which the Recreation Com- mission is fully cognizant, and allow the expenditure of the necessary amount before spring of next year. It will be thoroughly appreciated by the younger element of the public and will ultimately result in the bettered spirit of the entire city. pro- be how many are cents in Hartford and in a may rate will THE CAPITAL-LABOR CON¥ERENCE. President Wilson’s announcement of appointees on the board for the capital, labor and agricultural confer- ence to be held in Washington, October 6, appears as if had chosen his list with absolute fairness to all concerned. Labor and capital still have their own men to vhoose to make the role of arbiters complete. We find, among the names, those of prominent educators, farmers and men who had in control, Labor, dur- ing the war. All them are unbiased, as far as we know. The one or two exceptions, examples of men who might prove zealous advocates of a certain cause will find that there are others from the list who will take the opposite view. The other interests provide those who will prove anxious to pro- mote their own ideas. Labor will choose labor advocates, capital, fol- lowers of the employers of labor. If nothing else, we will b tréated to a tribunal of great importance, where many views will be aired and many sore spots, we hope, be ironed out. he s will Eric Swanson, who was discharged by the Rcrhn_(‘,om't after pleading that his hay fever was the cause of overindulgence in spirits and later ar- rest, has our extreme sympathy.

A strange state of affairs exists at Fiume, where the Italian poet-soldier, Gnbrielle D'Annunzio, with en irregu- lar force of soldlery variously esti- mated in number up to twelve thou- sand, has proclaimed the union of the city with Italy. Premier Nitti officially regrets the episode, but reports that the Italian troops sent to dislodge D'Annunzio have refused to do so. This shows better than words could do how strong the Italian feeling is regarding Fiume. If the Paris pecce conference finally decides to withhold the city from Italy, meking it indepondent or giving it to Jugozlavia, the way will be paved for moro trouble, When Mr, Wilson Interfared in the matter, ap- pealing to tho Itallan people over the heads of thelr government and got- | ting 2 prompt answer which muat hove discomfited him, he atirred up | = srave difficulty ndeed. with an attendance of 50 boys and six | CONGRESS GREETS * LEADER OF VICTORS | (Continued from I'irst Page) have also but seemed a for-sighted that tory, you restrained, may add, those of us who know vou it is re- freshing but not surprising to find that after all the supreme power, the | high station, the lordly associates and the unstinted compliments to which you have been accustomed, you nf\\"‘i developed neither arrogance nor aftec- tation but that ou have come back as you went away, modest, straight- forward, unspoiled.” Clark Presents The form resolution then presented to the general former Speaker Clark who |said: “General, you commanded more men than any other American soldier | ever commanded—more, we hope, | than any other American will ever command, for every sane and pa- triotic American most fervently hopes that our country, so favored by Heaven in all that makes for tfe manhood, and womanhood, will never be involved in another war. “Your singular fortune has given you command of troops on three con- tinents, America, Asia and Europe.

I the New members Bardo, general manager of Haven r “ has invited the | of the nufacturer as- sociation of Conneaicut, traffic man- gers and the traffic committee of the Manufacturer’s association to meet with him at New Haven next Monday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the proposed resumption of keeping passing records at trans- fers of less-than-carload freight. A number of Connecticut manufactur- ers through their state association have requested the New Haven rail- road to restore this service, because | of its importance in tracing shipments. | This matter of keeping transfer | records is one of national interest and | has been the subject of conferences.! at Washington between officials of the | U. S. Railroad ! representatives administration and of shippers through- out the country. The Manufacturer's association of Connecticut is cooperat- ing with other national organizations | who are working towards the com- mon end to get the restoration of record keeping at transfer points. The contention of the national or- ganizations is that the record keeping | | is of great assistance in tr g lost shipments by their shipper and is equally important to the railroads as it is a means of minimizing claims for goods lost in transit.
