There will be a hearing on the Jit- ney-trolle, matter in this city Thurs- day next, September 29, Strango and remarkable things have been heard of this commission ently. A man whose word is to be belioved has sald that he finds on good authority that each member wants to do the thing that is right, but that : ey want to be very sure they are doing the right thing. Most people in New Britain know what is ri_ht. Surely the working- man, and those who have to be down town earl;, but who have no auto- moblles recognize the need of the Jitney or a more frequent, cheaper trolley service. It is belleved the manufacturing in- teor. are recognizing this necessity. It is believed they want to help their workers. They ought to get up and say so! At the last jitney hearing, when @ifferent men were applying for cer- tificates t. be allowed to run over their old routes, there were present & good number, on the first day, of men to whom the jitney was a ne- cessity. The spirit in them was in- tense—anA their hope that the cer- tificates would be granted. The jit- neymen were there. The mayor was there and spoke. As a matter of fact there was a good representa- tion of the men who needed the Jit- neys and needed them badly. But where were the manufacturers, whose employes are the ones to be considered? Where were the clvic socleti The Chamber of Com- merce? The extra nickel pald out of the workers' pockets or a failure of trans- portation affect these manufacturers directly. ‘" hey should take an inter- est in this as they are doing in othet ' matters affesting thelr workers' wel- fare. They should consider the dif ference between twenty and forty conts a day to those who work for them. The Rotary club, Chamber of Commerce should be heard. In an account of the jitney hear- ing in Bridgeport yesterday it was sald: “The mayor was one of a dozen speakers, Including several represen- tatives of civic bodles, which pleaded for the lssuing of further permits to the jitneys in this city and suburbs.” It civic bodies here have the inter- est of the people of New Britain at heart; if manufacturers have the in- terest of the'r workers and their own interests at heart, all should send rep- resentatives to that hearing in order that they might show for what they stand—or for what they should stand ~~the weliare of the workers of this eity—of all the people in the city. The men who work in New Brit- ain are gocd workers. But they work, yather than talk. Sometimes they fail to present thefr cases well. They sometimes become confused an- swering questions put by the Com- mission. May the workers be fully ented at the coming hearing. But Blso let the manufacturers and wel- "'tare associations and civic societies have someone there to speak on the question. Here Is a splendid chance for the eivic bodies which declare they have the welfare of the city so much at heart to display their wares and re- celve the everlasting thanks of the people of the city. the in repre- THE TWO-PLATOON, It would be a shame If, now that the | has again voted for em, this added as Common Counc the two-platoon surance to the firemen and to the city ftself should prove to be but another “serap of paper.

What Chief Noble meant was that the adoption of any two-platoon sys- tem other than the one requiring 42 men would mean a less efficient twa- platoon system. No question has ever arisen casting doubt on the fact that this two-pla- toon system would make our fire de- partment more efficient. In view of these facts it is quite possible that there would never again be nine votes against the adoption of the system Assurances of this fact to the mayor would do much in alding him in ta ing the action or refraining from tak- ing action. The mayor's direct words are that he wants to let it become a law or to stop it by veto in accordance with the wishes of the people. The only means of knowing the wish of the people is as it was expressed by the last old city meeting. He should judge by that and allow it to become a law. He knows the feeling of the Common Council, representing the people. In some sections ot the city the peo- ple are crying for police protection. Now that better fire protection has recelved the sanction of the old city meeting and the more recent meeting of the Common Council, the mayor would find himself 1n an unpleasant position should serious results follow from any action of his In refusing to follow the Common Council, and the last official expression of the people. It is believed he will not veto the plan; he should not. GUARD THE CHILDREN. This morning a little struck an! run over by an bile at South Main and She was killed.

One or two paragraphs from these letters are especially worthy of repetition. “To produce a new situation, the vast energy that now spends itself in maintaining armies and navies must find a new outlet. Something new must be found for them to do, some great, unselfish task that they can do together. “May there not come such a chance in Mexico—to clean out bandits, yel- low fever, malaria, hookworm? What we did in Cuba might thus be made the beginning of a new epoch in his- tory. May not the existing military power of Europe conceivably be di- verted to this use?" Other important and interesting niatters, such as the reason for Col. House's failure in his mission to Ber- lin, appear in these letters.
