This deed was followed by a bill of 4 sale from George A. Austin to the ' Conr cticut Valiey Tray Rock com- pany, Tnc., selling the tocls and all personal property connected with the plant. The Suffield-Berlin. Trap Rock com- pany, with plants in Beckley and in Suffield, the- largest in the latter town, has not been doing active busi- ness for the past two years. due to financial troubles. The firm filed a petition of bankruptcy some time ago. ¥rank Bacon.of Berlin was a former surerintendent and manager at the Reckley plant. As far as is known, Mr. Pacon was the only Ber- lin person interested «n the affair, al- though there were many New Britain and Suffield people connected with the firm in one way or another. Previous to the cessation of acti- vities at the plant, the trap rock company had besn in operation for a period of six vears. The plant was situated near a large quarry in Beck- dey. Tne plans of the new owners have not as vet béen announced and it is no>t expected that the place will be in tull operation until next spring. Auto Strikes Wagon. Ycals Margheslein of New York will be arraigned before Judge Gris- wold in the Berlin town court tonight on the charge of reckless driving. He was arrested by the local authorities tollowing an accident which occurred at about 9 o'clock this morning. As the story §s told, Mrs. Frank Angeleti was d-iving a milk wagon on Berlin street and was on the right side of the road. Margheslein came along at what was claimed to be an excessive rate of speed and his machine crash- ed with the woman's milk " wagon. Mrs. Angeleti was thrown out of the wagen. the milk was scattered about, the ghafts on the wagon were broken and the wheels were smashed. Mrs. Lewis was notified of the ac- cident which took place near the Jar- vis {arm on Berlin -street, and within for ths party primaries and caucuses. At the last session of the registrars, only one applicant was heard. The session today started at 12 o’clock and will continue until 9 o’clock to- night. The sentiment of a great many is that the men should be selected in both parties because of thejr busi- ness abilities rather than because of politics. There seems to be a strong sentiment about town that in making nominations this vear for the town offices, more attention will be paid to men than politics, but unless those who wish to have a voice in naming such candidates see to it that they are enrolled as a member of the party whose caucus they wish to attend, they will be unable to use their in- fluencs in making such a nomination. The caucus lists are usually made out every two years, but due to thé fact-that so many women were made voters i Berlin last year it has been found necessary to publish another list this year. Investigation Started. An investigation has been started by the committee of the Independent Political association into the affairs of Mrs. Mary Cassese who is confined to the town farm. She was recently placed there by the town authorities. Due to the fact that the committee did not take an Italian interpreter with them and Mrs. Cassese cannot speak English, no progress has been made. Luther League Entertained. Carl Youngblad of Kensington en- tertained a large number of friends from the Swedish Lutheran church in New Britain at his home last night. About 200 people were present from the Luther léague of that church. Games were enjoyed and refreshments served. Town Hall Completed.

East Northfleld, Mass., is becoming each year a most desirable place for (local people to spend their vacations as is seen by the increasing number who attend that place 4\ ing the summer months. Situateu ie the Junction of the states of Massachu- setts, Vermont and New Hampshire; it commands a beautiful view of the White and Green Mountains. The silvery Connecticut river is seen :to wind gracefully through the valley and the balmy fragrance of the pine trees makes it an ideal spot for.va- cationists to seek recreation. The meetings held at the Seminary campus grounds, are an inspiration.to all who attend. This seminary was founded in 1879 by Dwight L. Moody and has grown to be the annual meet- ing place of one of the largest and most widely known Christian confer- ences in the country. At these con- ferences, which are strictly undenomi- national, are some of the most noted speakers from all parts of. the world. The auditorium, which has a seating capacity of about 3,000, is usually filled when services are being con- ducted. 5 The music alone, at these meetings, is wonderful and with the accompani- ment of a magnificent pipe organ, the vast congregation, many of them trained and cultured singers, is an inspiration to hear. There are num- erous soloists besides the Lwtus quar- tette of Boston. Besides this interesting feature, there are many ways and opportuni- ties for persons to find pleasure, such as bathing in the Connecticut river, mountain climbing, tennis court, croquette and golf. The camp is an ideal one as pengons have the tent life with all the conveniences and service of the huge cafeteria and buildings close by. Rev. J. G.

This' method is followed ‘about-twice a year to see that the mail boxes and other things are in good shape. The rural terri- tory covers Mountain View, Scotts Swamp and part of Forestville. The sections were all in excellent condi- tion and there were no complaints entered. The Mountain View district is covered by Gordon Morse, rural mail earrier. When the postoffice was on Main street, this district was not covered by any carrier. Further improvements, ‘however, throughout that section .will be made in the fu- ture which will enable mail to be de- livered on all streets. At is now it, there are ‘‘dead ends” to all highways leading from the main one, and the government does not provide for a carrier tosdeliver where there 'are these, as it necessitates going down a street and back the same one again instead of being able to cross over to the next one and save time.

Communism’s grip upon popular favor in Italy was definitely broken when the government refused to take any drastic measures of repression against the seizure of factories by the work- men, his excellency Tomasso Tittoni, presdent of the Italian senate told the institute of politics, at Wiliiams col- lege today. Senator Tittoni spoke in part as fol- lows: “In the progressive movement towards the emancipation of ‘the Ital. ian workmen, five stages can be traced. From the period of mutual aid, which appeared with the rise of Italian unity and which had for meral and economic aims the betterment of’ the working classes economy and brotherhood between workers—we pass to the time when .class struggle began to develop in the field of econ- omics, for the improvement of wages, shorter working hours and. the pro- tection of labor. “The fifth phase was marked by the invasion ef the factories by the work- men——an action which created a great impression abroad and which led to the belief that Italy was on the verge of a revolution.” “There arose a grave controversy in Italy as to whether this invasion should have been prevented or re- pressed. There is no doybt that if lsu::h ‘had been the case, industry would @gve been so0 hard hit by the hold- 12— f production and the consequent loss of foreign markets, which. con- tinrued during the long perisd of un- rest which followed .the invasion. = On the other hand it should be re- membered that from the. day the workers occupied the factories, they found themselves confrented by real- ity and were obliged to realize the im- possibility of their taking over thair entire administrative control. From| that time, communism, as the recent elections have proved, lost ground daily among the great mass of the people to the extent of being practical- ly exterminated in three great centers where it had taken firmest hold, Bo- logna, Ferrera and. Turin. “But a new problem arose—namely the inspecton .of the factories by the || Workmen which gave rise to'a heated controversy.and is now before the Italian parliament. Itily is by no.means the only couns try which had. grave labor. agita- tions. They have been exparienced everywhere. The movement which at the present time is peculiar to Italy is that of the peasantry and the agrarian socialism, unknown in. other great countries, which.has obtained an ex- tensive fopting.in.many parts of the peninsula. The occupation of the factories was a flash in the pan; °t lasted .but a few days, but.the occupa- tion of lands has been a phenomenodn of lomger duration, though of this too We.can-say that the movement has now lost its intensity and is on the decline. z “The Italian parliament is p: ing to tackle the grave problem og re lations between capital and labor, both in the factories and in the fields, now that-the most disorderly and vio- lent phase of the agitation of work- men and- peasants has subsided. In the words of an American writer who also, carefully followed these -move- ments, ‘Italy has survived the worst, and will hold steadfastly to a peaceful solution of her troubles.’ PO REMODEL BUILDING. A bullding. permit to remodel the store at 96 West Main ~street was granted the New Britain Dry Clean- ing cérporation this morning. The permit calls for a. fire-proof brick structure and will cost about $3,100. | Carlson and Torrell are the contrac- tors.
