It is well known that Mr. Al- corn, whether he is right Wrong, has his opinion of the condition of the city of New Britain and somne, at least of its institutions, an opinion which he has voiced on several occasions. He has a perfect right te his opin- ions, but he has done his duty when he has prosecuted the violators of the law and when he has informed local péople of the status of some of its police officers. It is beyond his prov- ince, in our humble opinion, to choose our officials. He has not, according to the Courant, attempted to do this State local or ... he has simply endorsed an individual e But, with that endorsement there ap- pears, from the Courant story, to be an attempt to take part in a purely local move.

Or what chance is there of having a man shake hands with vou cardu‘l‘ly if members of are constantly abusing members ot his family? viduals have not expressed your senti- ments at all in their criticisms of his people.

INFORMING LABOR 1t is patural to insist that the only reason President Pearson of the N. Y N. H. & H. R. R. wrote and had dis- tributed to employes of the road a ircular letter explaining the financial situation with reference to the recent cuts in wages, was his desire to avert a strike on the part of those employes, It that President Pearson by this desire.

A great step in this direction would be taken were employers to take the trouble to explain their points of view, and the reasons why they feel cuts must bhe made, for instance, The employers' reasons may not be good reasons, and the employes may be able to show the fallacy of them. Adjustments might result or might not sult. In the end there would be more chance of mutual satisfaction there would be were the employe to be utterly ignored by the employer, as in the dark ages of labor.
