Grace. = New Haven Mails There is a mail for New Haven leaving here at 12:45 p. m., after that time there is no way of getting mall to that city until the train leaving New RBritain at 6:15 p. m. This causes much inconvenience, inasmuch as it means that letters are not delivered in New Haven until the next day. Saturdays and days before holidays the letters remain in the New Haven postoffice until the first weekday. New Haven has a late business de- livery and if mail could he sent out on the 3:32 p, m,, train, it would he delivered in that city the same eve- ning. This would make considerable difference in people doing business with Yale college. Messers. Delaney and Grace guar- anteed that the New RBritain post of- fice could get the mall to this train on time, if it were possible to have it| stopped. There are no facilities for grabbing mail pouches on the fly at Berlin and this method, according to the postal official, is not satisfactory. It was reported that there is a train made up at Springfield, which goes through Rerlin close to the time the 3:32 p. m. goes by. The 3:32 p. m. starts from Boston, and stopped at Berlin one time, but became unpopu- lar with travelers from this city be- cause pullman seats always were sold out by the time it got here and it was necessary to make resérvations sev- House in Which Ten People Were Sleeping. Central Talls, R, I, April 12.—~Pa- trolman Collett reported today having frustrated an apparent attempt to fire u house on Sprague avenue in which ten persons were sleeping, He put the fire out, hé said, adding that he thought some person had broken a window and thrust in a stick to which was attached a quantity of Lugs soaked with gasoline, A hottle that had contained gasoline was found nearby, Those in the house included operatives at works in mills affected by the textile strike, MMAHON ATTACKS SPINNING COMPANY Blames Jenckes Mill Anthorities As Responsible for Strike Pawtucket, April 12.—The Jenckes Spinning Co., one of the few cotton plants in Rhode Island that has heen able to survive the strike against low- er wages and increased hours, was the subject of a statement today hy Proesi- dent Thomas F. McMahon of the united textile workers of America. He said the concern had trebled in value in the past five years: “This strike in Pawtucket has tak- en its toll of human life," the state- ment said, “Ha the Jenckes Spin- ning Co. been willing to negotiate with the textile workers here on the basis of fair treatment for the com- pany and fair treatment for the work- ers there would have been no blood spilled in the Pawtucket strike; there might even have been no Pawtucket strike. ‘What Causes Refusal? “Is the refusal of the Jenckes Co. to negotiate with workers, or to ar- bitrate the differences due to the pressing needs of the Dbusiness? Hardly. “In the five years between July 1, 1016, and July 1, 1921, the Jenckes Spinning Co. made total profits well over $10,000,000.

The opinion was expressed that the railroad company would agree to stop one train but not both, and that travelers from New Britain would in- sist upon stopping the train ' which gavé them pullman service. Mr, De- laney asked if it would not bLe pos- sible to stop the other train simply for mail, calling attention to the train which stops about 2 a. m. for mail only. Mr. Delanéy also called attention to considerable trouble the postal department has with careléssly di- rected letters. On motion the matter of stopping train No. 53 fér mail, was placed in the hands of F. J. Russel, | “During these five years, the pro- fits have averaged 22 pér cent a year on the full value of the businéss ca- pital stock and surplus. combined.

There was considerahle discussion | of lack of service on the dinky be- tween here and Berlin, following a communication received from P. § Case, of the Fafnir Bearing company. Mr. Case sai® in his communication, | “Train 65, which leaves Springfield in the morning has always, for years | past at least, connected at Berlin with | the dinky for New Britain, and train No. 79, leaving Springfield at 9:03 a. m, has also made connections at Berlin. However, at the present time a person cannot take a train from Springfield and make a direct connec- tion for New Britain, either at Hart- ford or Berlin. Mr. Case stated in his talk to the members of the traffic bureau that the dinky which is scheduled t6 léave Berlin at $:46 a. m. cannot possibly | geét away at that time, because of de- lay in handling baggage, etc., from | thé north bound train, and that the south bound train coming in from Springfield gets there in time to see | bulous profits."” MAYOR-ELECT GETS (Continued From First Page) may be able to give the service in of- fice that I aspire to render.” Many Telegrams.
