Thirty-six different models will be an exhibition at the automobile show which opens this evening in Jester's hall on Arch street and to which the public is invited. The show will be continued throughout next week. Ad- mission is free. Dealers who have combined to give New Britain people a show are well satisfied with their efforts. They be- lieve that they have succeeded in bringing together a representative display of machines which covers the price range well and which is suit-| able for use by men in easy or mod- erate circumstances. | This year's models are better in| many respects. Their lines are more attractive and mechanical improve- ments are numerous, the latter being 4n the direction of simplicity of op- eration and lessening the cost of up-| keep. Jester's hall has been especially decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being pink, with American flags to avoid monotony. A concert will be given every evening by Ahl- berg’s syncopated orchestra Buick “Second Choice” of Rolls-Royce Executives There are occasions when one can be proud to be “Second choice.” The officials of the Rolls-Royce plant, Springfield, Mass,, have made such an occasion possible. Significant of Buick mechanical ex- cellence is the fact that among Buick owners are 11 leading officials of Rolls-Royce of America, Ine, pro-| ducers of one of the finest and most | expensive motor vehicles in the world. Looking for a car of tested design, construction and moderate price, it is a compliment to the Buick that these men, associated with such a wonderful product themselves, have selected the| Buick. Their decisions were only natural when one realizes that for 20 years the Buick adaptation of stand- ard engineering principles has been held in high esteem by engineers and others schooled in things mechanical. All models of the Buick will be on e LYCEUM Mon.—Tues.—Wed. — The — COUNTRY FLAPPER exhibition at the auto show, space No. 2, Jester’s hall tonight and all next week. CAPITAL AND LABOR IN2 YEARY’ TRUCE As Result, Pending Legislation at Hartford Is Dropped Hartford, March 10.—Capital and labor agreed yesterday on a two years' truce which suddenly resulted in the withdrawal of propesed strike legis- lation threatening a bitter fight before the legislative judiciary committee next Wednesday. As a result of an agreement be- tween the Manufacturers’ association of Connecticut and the Open Shop conference on the one hand and the Connecticut Federation of Labor on the other, two bills making intimida- tion lawful in trade disputes and one bill prohibiting industrial warfare were dropped for the duration of the pres- ent session of the legislature. One of these measures, senate bill 247, proposed to make it lawful to urge others to abstain from working, and to urge others not to buy prod- ucts of an industry engaged in a trade dispute. It was intended to at- tach a drastic amendment to section | statutes which activities of €358 of the restricts the strikers. Senator Tone's other bill, , pro- posed substantially the same amend- ment in different phraseology. The interpretation put upon it by manu- facturers was that it would give strik- ers the right to attack so-called strike- breakers. Senator Frederick De Peyster, re- publican, of Portland, introduced the Manufacturers' association bill which proposed not only to prohibit indus- trial warfare, but to restrict persons from furnishing aid to carry it on, gave anyone injured in person or property as a result of a use of the courts to recover damages, Heavy penalties were provided in the bill for agitators of strikes. Labor men construed the bill the heart of trades unions. Capitol and labor are at issue con- cerning several other bills pending before the present session, but they are considered to be minor matters compared with those eliminated. general Jawful THREE INQUIRIES ON Bridgeport Trying To Find Canse of Jitney-Trolley Crash Bridgeport, March 10.—Three in- vestigations were launched today for the purpose of fixing the responsibil- ity for the collision between a trolley car and a jitney bus on State street last night, in which 13 persons were injured and the bus demolished. The traffic bureau of the police depart- ment started one investigation, the Connecticut company started a second investigation along similar iines, and the Public Utilities commission pre- pared to gather both the trolley com- pany’'s version and the jitney man's version of the accident. All the in- Jjured are reported out of danger to- day. strike the | s a blow at| Syncopated Orchestra WHAT PROHIBITION HAS DONE IN CONN Has Reduced Drunkenness, Crime and Poverty, Rep. Cramton Says BY GEORGE H, MANNING (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald). Washington, D. C, March 10— “Prohibition welcomes the test of ex- perience. It is puerile to measure dol- lars ‘against the lessening of crime, poverty and disease.” Representative Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, made this statement in re- |tative Gallivan of Massachusetts, that prohibition enforcement is not worth its cost. ! Backing up his reply, Mr. Cramton quoted figures and statements of nu- merous authorities to show the de- |crease in crime, and poverty, and disease, which he said to be due to | prohibition. In Connecticut, said the Michigan reformer, 14 cities show a decrease of 23 per cent in the number of arrests for drunkenness in 1922 compared with 1918, the last wet year. The number of persons confined in prisons in Connecticut fell from 2,494 in 1917 to 1,657 in 1922, a decrease of 837 or 33.6 per cent. | The amount of insurance in force lin Connecticut has increased 47 per cent since the last “wet” year. In the city of New Haven, the pro- portion of people brought to family welfare societies on account of al- cohol dropped from 13 per cent in 1919 to 0.3 per cent in 1921, “The public health has so increas- said Mr. Cramton, “that the census bureau report on the increased expectancy of human life showed an |increase from 50.23 years in 1910 to 53.98 years in 1920, for males; and from 53.62 to 56.33 years for females. Kansas, long dry, still holds the rec- | lord: 59.73 years for white males and 60.89 years for the white females. “We may expect to live longer than |our fathers because the plague spot |of the saloon no longer breeds conta- | |gion to the world.” | | Labor, Mr. Cramton asserted, is | now more productive and efficient on ply to the recent charges of Represen- | Mondays and Tuesdays as a result of prohibition, and the most fruitful | source of industrial accidents has been |eliminated; that movie receipts show 1:1” increase of $633,000,000 over the “wet" year, although doubly tax- | prohibition has been the boon bascball has ever en- |last |ed; [rreatest |Joyed The hootlegger we have had with “us always, he states, but where boot- leg liquor its hundreds, regular |tar whiskey, he claims, slew its many thousands. | On the whole, Mr. Cramton admits, lin his opinion the prohibitionists can report most encouraging and convinc- |ing progress. ]} THE HERALD The A-B-C Paper . with the A-B-C Want Ads D R T oo S N and New Britain’s Best Ahlberg’s Show Open Every Evening at 6:30 MEET US AT THE SHOW AT JESTER’S HALL, TONIGHT AND ALL NEXT WEEK == SPACE No. 2 == New Britain Buick Co. 225 ARCH ST.
