Mr. Dutton was well re- ceived and many favorable comments werc made by the men present for his' stand on the issues that closely and intimately concern the people at bome. He again commented on the searcity of coal and spoke for proper legislation to prevent a repetition of existing conditions. “Present perpendiv coal would not be n ficial Jegislation we enacted t congre contended Mr. 1 speaker reiterated his stand on prompt | recognition for the ex-servies He thought these men should put in the positiop of havi for something that should ed as a matter of rizht and tHe pledged himself to work proper and prompt relief for service men. Mayor Dutton was warmly applaud- ed when he urged relief from the high rents charged by certain individuals. He realized that property owners are cntitled to reasonable and fair profits from their investments in real | tate. but that rbitant prices exact- | ed in some cases were unfair and that proper steps to reduce high cost of living would also work 1o adjust rental fees. Speaking of the transportation prob- lem, which Mayor Dutton thought was the basis for many of the existing troubles, he said in part: “Transpor- tation is another phase of industr its very heart in fact. Many of our t{roubles and a great deal of the high cost of living is directly due to in- adequate railroad and water trans- portation. There is a great deal to be done. Tt is a big problem. The | precedent for government action in coal and transportation has already been established. We do not nced to go to radical lensths, but we do need those things fhat will insure the prosperity of Connecticut manufac- turers and give them relief from the heart-breaking uncertainty they are now compelled to labor under, an un- certainty that directly affects all our workers and busin interest. At the end of the speech. Mayor Dutton, who had been introduced by J. Kiniry of the democratic town committee, received many personal as- surances of support. Mr. Dutton will give one more noon-day talk in New Britain later the campaign. YALE-HARVARD TICKETS Tomorrow at 7 a. m. he will leave carrying him to Rochester and at Jackson, O.
