Dutton, of Bristol, democratic candidate for Congress in this district, came to New Britain un- expectedly today and addressed a noon Ay meeting at the Landers Frary and Clark factory. Mavor Dutton stated that he < willing to be judged on his record as a public official and frankly asked the support of the voters in his aspirations to go to Congress. Talks on Local Issues Mr. Dutton said in part: “There are certain issues that closely concern us all, issues that are receiving sur- prisingly little consideration. Take for example the matter of coal, of fuel, a question that comes directly and in- timately into every houschold, every manufacturing establishment, ever, mercantile house and public buildinz. Coal is ihe very life blood of business, commerce and comfort. It is to indus- try and domestic life what money is to finance and trade. The Republicans have been in control of Congress since March, 1919, a period ot I8 months und have done absolutely nothing to curb profiteering in the necessities of lite—food and fuel.

They compel us 10 pay tribute to greed. Congre# can give us relisf without interfering with ‘any honest and lezitimate phase of the mining and distribution of coal. If elected I shall make it my business to give this problem my special attention.’ Transportation Problems Mayor Dutton also spoke briefly on the necessity of transport n, which he termed ‘the very heart of industry.’ He thought that most of the present troubles and high cost of living was due to inadequate railroad and water transportation.
