New Britain is at last alive to the : mecessity of preparatioftfor the strike, although it is hoped confidently that the strike is but another of the “Worst of the evils that never happen.” Last night, therefore, a company of men met and it was resolved what must be done to prepare, in a general way. The mefns of protecting the large and the small merchant and therehy the people, was shown. Certain necessary duties were as- signed. * The purpose of the meeting was to assure the city a certain amount of food and milk. There may be no greater need of anything than these articles, and as this city has always responded, it is believed the city will respond now, not for the gake of any cause far removed from us, but for’ our own sakes. It must be remembered by all when this movement is broached, that there is in it much that is selfish. Tt has ‘been predicted that these great United States will find a way of ending the strikd before it has taken very serious possession of the land, but much havoc and saffering may be caused in a day and coming in one of thcse days -especially. The general details have been given out. Now for details more specific— men who will not only undertake the things to do but will accomplish re- sults, New Britath has many of them. They are busy men, but they must take some of the lesser burdens which re- quire an aggravating amount of time to what seems small purpose that the _great purpose of avoiding suffering should be achieved. ‘Again “Preparedness’” has come ‘o be the watch word, and each. commun- ity, town and city must do for itself. The Government of the Nation may find itself unable to reach you, on your doorstep. RAILROAD: MATTERS. 'X"h.lnion 1éaders seem about as un- certain as to their duties and powers a¥ does the Labor Board. Five ques- tions were asked of the leaders of the railroad men, the answer to all of which was to the effect that they ‘would have no power to stop a strike if the Railway Labor Board decided against them—that the executive com- mittee, now in Chicago, was clothed with such power if a “satisfactory set- tlement” could be reached. ‘The head of the switchmen said “nothing transpired at the day’s meet- ing to change the situation as far as & settlement was concerned.” ‘They “passed the buck.’ « It would ‘seem ‘that a ‘conference; with the all powerful executive com- mittee, upon which the men seem to Bang. would hasten matters. Meanwhile .District Attorney Cline will be at the conferences to repre- sent the Department of Justice at the conference of Western attorneys to discuss the government’s plan of ac- tion in the event of a stfike. He will bring up a precedent that has been forgotten by most nen. Back in 1894 when Debs and 49 others were restrained ypon a suit brought by the Government from ob- structlon of opétation of interstate trains into and out of the City of Chi- ¢ago. An injunction, it is said, was granted and remained in force until 1898, when it was dismissed on motion of the Government. The Supreme Court, at the time of {ssuance of the injunction, officizls say, seems to have established the right of the government to secure an injunc- tion against interference with inter- state commerce and the passage of the mails, independently of any statute especially authorizing such transac- tion. - It such a decision was really made by the Court, and is not merely dicta included in its actual decision, it would have a decided bearing upon the case at issue. In a few words the matter resolves now to the question of the conflicting power of the Railway Labor Board over the unions. PICTURE PATRONS. People who rise, cause some com- motion, and leave a motion picture before “The End” has” been shown upon the screen, unless they have a very good reason for haste, are the pictire pests.

At times the clouds o' my pipe goes whirlin’ high; At times they swirl down near the earth—the sand gets in your eye. It's times ruminatin’ much; It's times like these you know you are and ought to be “In Dutch.” “Acknowledgment' comes first thing, what may you do To start again with mind to shake the from you? Jest take your habits, one each day, an’ see if they're all right— You ought to cover dozens in the sleeplessness o’ night. An’ then, next day. keep on at work, an’ you'll soon learn to know The things you do all right an’ then the things that jest “don't go.” 1t will not take you long to see, if honest is your wish, Why you are called amongst ur friends not “Man” but one poor fish.” ol there on like these when clouds amount to that then an’ clearer “Dutch” -— gTry _:l‘his On Your Wise Friend One plus a certain figure plus three-fourths of the certain figure equals 15, while one plug the same figures upside dofvn equals 18. What are the figures that, added ) %(o one, equal 15? Answer to yesterday’'s: beggar was a woman. The e\ s excse for those who do this day after day. They rise, and with the most pleas- ant “pardon me” do something that may not be pardoned and they know it. The usual reason for their ac- tion is that they want to get out into the air ahead of the other specta- tors—they want to' “have something on them.” This is a habit of people every- where in thls country. The small boy thinks more of having a fine seat on the ledge of some building, from which he will be able to see the pa- rade ‘which is to pass, than he does of the parade. Usually the woman who gets a “bargain” for whichs her sisters wer: just a bit too late’ glories in her achievement. The fellow who “gets his girl out first” is q ite apt to boast of the feat to her and to their friends who have gone to the show, enoyed it, and be- haved in an orderly manner. Today the motion picture play is a series of fine scenes. The actors sometimes make the action over and over again before the camera that the best may be given to the spec- tators. It may be in one of these very acts that have caused the most trouble to the actors, which will be spoiled on the screen for those who appreciate it, by their rising, dis- turbing many people, perhaps, and by walking out. The finale of the picture is usually the masterpiece picture. The director wants his climax perfect. He studies over it; discusses it with the author and takes every pains with it. When this climax is shown—the summing up of the play—this seems to be the especialimoment for hun- dreds of people to choose to spoil. May we all think of others a bit and wait till the most artistic of all the tiny bits of film we have seen —wait for the best of the picture if {you have any manners or any appre: ciation of what is good. COLORED PEOPLE. It took a good man—a man good at harmonizing different groups—to put the great question in such a way that the elightened of the colored race, and those of the white race, will be satisfied. President Harding has committed himself to nothing. He has drawn a line that may be, on occasion, bent or broken. He does not exactly answer the question whether or not Roose- velt acted properly when he invited Booker Washington to sit at a table with him, but he has made it pretty clear that there is a distinct line for colored people to travel in the uplift of their race, and that line s not a social one. “I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man voting when he is un- fit to vote,” and he said also, quite worthy of repetition: “Uniformity in ideals, absolute equality in the paths of knowledge and culture, equa!\ opportunity for those who strive, equal admiration for those who achieve; in matters social and racial a separate path, each pur- suing his own inherited traditions, pre- uervin;g his ‘own race purity and race pride; equality in things spiritual; agreed divargence in the physical and material.” President Harding believes that there mu.: be recognition of abso- lute divergence in .things social and raclal. This must be so no matter how the issue is dodged. The sooner the colored race recog- nizes this fact, the more rapid will be growth. “Education Lags in This State, Says FACTS AND FANCIES — BY ROBERT QUILLEN Slogan of infant republic: Business will hang fire until the na- tions hang together.

The majority, ac- cording to these figures, must be children of foreign born white. Of The only collar that galls the free American is the one the laundry has tried to convert into a saw.

AT THE LYCEUM ENTIR E WEEK OF OCT. 30th. This is a Studebaker Year For the first eight months of 1921, our sales of Stude- baker Cars were 41% greater than for the same period of 1920, and 101% greater than for the same period of 1919. For the same period our sales of Repair farts were 13% less than in 1920, and 3% less than in 1919. : On September ist, 1921, there were approximately 116,000 more Studebaker Cars in operation than two years ago, and yet our parts business is 37 less than it was in 1919. This proves conclusively that— Studebaker Cars are standing up in service and staying out of repair shops, to a degree unexcelled, we believe, by any cars of what- ever price.
