MAT HARM . E. Tncrease in Freight Coarges Wil Rverage 1043 Por Ceat The Eastern class rates which will come up for a hearing before the interstate commegce commisaion in Washington within a few days will mean a raise in freight rates on New .England roads of from 1 to 47 mer cemt, or an average of 10:45 per cent, according to reports made at a meeting of the traffic bureau the Chamber of Com- merce today. 8o seriously does this proposed increase threaten New England industries that it was stated that many industries in this vicinity will be forced to build fac- tories in the west or lose a large portion of their western trade, if the increases are adopted. Two rallroad presidents, several vice presidents and acores of gen- eral agents, trafiic managers, pur- chasing agents and other officials will be in New Britain Friday, June 7, when the trafic bureau observes Pennsylvania day at the Shuttle Meadow club. General Atwater. president of the Pennsylvania rail- road; Vice President Lee, three other vice presidents and many other officials of that concern will be here as guests of the local or- ganization. President Pelley of the New Haven railroad with his vice presidents, General Manager Regan, Superintendent O'Hanley and other New Haven officlals will be here on the same day. The pro| will last all day and will include a dinner at noon at the club. - Golt, automobile tours of the city and visits to local tactories will be included in the program. . Express Rates On a discussien of express rates out of New Britain it was said that 1t costs less money to ship a package by express to Meriden by way of Berlin than it does to ship to Ber- lin, A package can be shipped to Meriden for 90 cents which would cost 95, it it stopped at Berlin. The same kage would cost $1.00 to Hartford, but it shipped to New Ha- ven by way of Hartford and Berlin would go to that city for 95 cents. The local agent was asked to call this to the attention of the general agent. A. P. Marsh, secretary of the Connecticut Motor T'ruck association discuased senate blll No. 618, provid- ing for uniform traffic control. Mr. Marsh said the bill is all right as far as it goes, but that it does not go far enough. He sad it provides that & board of selectmen may not erect overhead traffic lights without the approval of the state police. Any city can use a right turn on red if it provides proper signs and may aiso inaugurate boulevard streets if prop- erly marked. No one is permitted to move except on green, éxcept in the case of making a turn where the turn is permitted on red. ‘There are many drivers, Mr, Marsh explained, who do not seem to realize that if a pedestrian starts to cross a street at an intersection en & green or go signal, that pedes- trian has a right to finish his jour- ney and has the right of way over all other vehicles regardless of lights or signals until he reaches the epposite sid2 or a zone of safety. Hé characterized the bill as just an entering wedge toward better traffic control. YETERAN OF WORLD WAR IS CLAIMED BY DEATH James E.
