There has been a conferenca at Washington recommending the very things we have done. We had been employing men for some time Now comes thé possibility of great railroad strike. Precautions are being taken all over the ccuntry. But no action hai been taken here. It is said that a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce i1 to be held this week at which the possible im- pending crisis will be discussed as a step to take care of the local interests, it necessary. And also the secretary of the cham- ber has appealed to all truck drivers and owners to report at the Chamber with the trucks they will have avail- able. There has been slight response to the call. There has been doubt about the call- ing of the strike. All hope that it will . not be called, and that it wil: ind New “Britain as prepared as possible, ifi it should come. But we will not be prepared it all is left ‘to the truckmen themselves. Here is a splendid chance for the Chamber of Commerce to do some- thing which really counts. May they have something tangible to teport at the meeting this week. Here i3 a“fine opportunity to accom- plish something within reasonable time of the taking of action in other cities: It has assumed the task, quite propedly. Let it carry it through as the people are looking for it to do. a STRIKE MORE DOUBTFUL It does not se:m possible but on the authority of statistics of the Rajlroad - Labor Board, the pay of railroad em- ployes today averages $4.54 as com- h pared with $2.87 in 1917. This "ncludes the wage cut of about 12 1-2 per cent ¥ authorized July 1. From these figures which we may [consider at showinz the situation some of the tat seem to consider that the on since the war, has been finished, and that increasing salaries should go on just as though there had been no war. They, this one quarter, seem to think that they aloae |. do not have to make sacrifices When eyeryone is dofg so. There is great hope in the fact that 350,000 men decided yesterday, not to consider the “walk git” at present. Warren S. Stone, president of th Brotherhood of locomotive engineers, afte z that they were not looking or desirious of a strike, had been forced into this step because of the failure of the railroads to be guided by other decision of the Railroad Labor Board in regard to living condition and other matters. He said also. “We are not now, nor have we ever been, desirous of being party to pre- cipitating .a strike, but when it is quite apparent that the railroads pro- pose to not ouly reduce wages but to take from those employes practical- 1y all the conditions of service that have been maintained for many years aad the Raliroad Labor Board is una- ble or fails'to give us any assurance that the interests of the employes will be protected from such onslaughts by the Interests that control the transpor- _ tation lines of our country, nothing is | left for the employes but to stand on "their constitutional rights to . retire "from the service of the carriers.” But the strike situation is better. The optimists have their day today. assertin for CHILDREN HANDICAPPED. It is a pretty bad condition of af- fairs when, in the ordinarily ruled city, we have not room enough for all our children to go to school on “full time.” As It was said at the city meeting, such lost time may never ba made up to them. It iz gone.

The success or failure of traffic regulations is a matter of obedience to the traffic officers, according to New . Britain traffic officers and ac- cording to Inspector May of Cleve- land, who has just\completed a tour of European cities, and according to inquiry here, perament, according to the The English, for instance, obedient race, belief. are an As Englishmen all do things much more deliberately, and “according to Hoyle,” than will the Frenchman. The latter is much more apt to act impulsively and hurry on his way, than is the Englishman—hence the better movement in traffic Eng- land than in France. In England the “Bobbie’s” word is law. The American, driving through what they call “the city,” namely the part of the city in which are located the offices, is apt to quite lose his temper. At certaln places, for a long distance, in the eastern section, for instance, on a gala day, one may scarce move, so slowly do the officers keep the procession going; here we have to travel faster, and the traffic officers realize this. The traffic policemen in this city, fi inclined to “tell you all about it,” say that drivers of motor vehicles are “pretty good scouts.” If they dis- obey the rules they are sorry and it is only because of mistake, Strangers passing through are the more apt to break the regulations; citizens of the city, being well in- formed of the rules—most of them— bring little trouble. in ~So, perhaps we may classify our- selves as quicker movers, almost as| careful as the Englishman, and far| ahead of the Frenchman, But there| |is always foom for improvement.

New York, Oct. 24.—Quest for in- formation to clear up the murder of the young woman, part of whose dis- membered body was found Saturday, in a pond at Long Island City, le detectives today to the Brooklyn navy yard where a detachment of United States-marines is stationed. Captain B. A. Moeller, U. §. M. C., iCentified the torso last night almost positively as that of a young woman who visited the navy yard recently in search of a marine corps lieuten- ant who, she declared, had wronged her. She left, he said, without see- ing the officer. Long Island City residents have told of seeing a man attired in what they took to be a chauffeur's or rail- road man's uniform, dragging a bundle toward the pond where the legless torso was found. Captain Moeller said he did not ob- tain the young woman's name but that she lived in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. Efforts were being made to establish her identity there today. i Increased Service New York to Savannah Three Sailings Weekly Taesdays, Thursdays, S: Saperior ‘frelght asd pasmeacr servie o pasme % nllpolnulnul{h d t. h pm 8 Sar trom s.v.::.n"“ Tt S First Class Passenger Fares, NewYork To Savannah To Jacksonville Wy $30:38 | O $36.54 %' $54.68 | %mmi$65.77 Inclading mesls and stateroom accommodat War Taa 8% additional Pier 38, North River, New York THURSDAY 2all only because they are heavier than Swing, Declares Vice-President,” TOM MIX in “TRAILIN: * based , '"PRAYER MEETINGS ARE WELL ATTENDED Preparations for Dr. Goodall Evan- gelistical Services Are Pro- ceeding Successfully.

Washington, Oct. 24.—The senate .aving voted to reduce the amount of taxes to be paid after 1922 by indi- viduals having net incomes ranging from $5,000 to $1,000,000 or more had before it today the question of cutting down the taxes on those whose net incomes are $5,000 or less. A reduction of 50 per cent for this class of taxpayers is sponsored by Senator Gerry, democrat, Rhode Island, with the approvals and sup- port of the other democrats on the senate finance committee. The pro- posed cut would be in addition to the slight reduction which would result from the committee recommendation that this class of tax pavers who are heads of families be granted an in- creased exemption of $500. Senator Gerry not only would re- lieve these tax payers but also would have further reductions made in the taxes to be paid by all individuals. Specifically his amendment to the pending revision bill would fix the normal income rates al two per cent on the first $5,000 of income, four SABLE DYED FRENCH CONEY FUR COATS with self collar, flare sleeves and fancy lined; 36 inches long ....
