NO HOPE FOR CUTS IN POWER CHARGES (Continued From First Page) in New Britain, quite generally, the impression that electric service rates in Hartford are very much low than those which prevail in Ne Britain. This feeling together w the recently announced reduction ‘n Hartford — widely reported as amougting to 25 per cent—m haps, supply the answer to th tion. 0y Average Bill Here Lower to the first point, it may be said that the rates in effect in the two cities are very similar in struc- | ture and character but that the talls of their application are ciently different as to make their direct comparison impractical. Tn any event, a comparison of the re- sults of their actual lication to the customers presents the clearest possible picture. In the last calendar yvear available, namely 19 , the average monthly bill in Hartford is veported to have been $2.64. that in New Dritain was $2.57. seven cents less. It is evident ther fore that the New Britain bill oc- cupled a tather less position in the household budget than was the c ) Hartford. “Tt is true that the ford customer used some: service, namely, about e waft hours per month, true that, so far as we have able to determine, the New customers used the servic as they desired, and, sinc Britain is the home of one country's largest electric applian: manufacturers, it may be presun that its inhabitants are thoroug alive to the ad of service.

If it had t at that price, then the average in New Britain would have been $2.82 per month. or 15 cents per month—equivalent to 6.8 per cent— higher than would have been in Hartford. In our judgment this differential of 6.8 per cent is in- herent and can easily be justified: The comparison which made is, howev rcomplete out a comparison of the rats which the customers can additional service if, there he any that so de tes In both cities are v le in this respect and in practica iy the same degrec “As regards the widely woull ity to at an r kilo- plied bill en su has cent, the facts are as follows: There are In effect in Hartford three res dence rates, one of which only reduced, namely, that on which most of the customers take service. The change {hat was made was in the energy charge, or meter rate, only—the area charge remaining unchanged, and constituted the in- troduction of per kilowatt n » for all consumption in excess of two kilowatt hours per month per 100 square feet of area hereas under the superseded rate all the consumption was billed at 4c per kilowatt hour. T myself reside in Hartford and take service under 1his rate. the last twelve months. the reduc- tion would have amounted to or 5.8 per cent. than this and some would be but the illustration serves out the fallacy of the report that it amounted to per cent “It is/ possible that the more, to point feeling exists in New Britain that rates have | not been reduced The fact is that the kilowatt hour has been progres ly downward from year to year 1918 the average was 10.1c per Kil- owatt hour; for the year 1929, and for the year 1930 we estimate that it will be 6.5c. Hence it will he secn that the average rate has fall- en in the twelve-year period 32 per cent.” COOLIDGES OBSERVE for many years.

Y New York, Oct. 4 (UP)—Officials of the Amtorg Trading Corporation, who often have been - pictured as super-sples of the Soviet, depicted themselves yesterday as a group of alert business men who have adopted imany American traditions in-their business projects in this country. They occupy sunny offices on three aptire floors of a mid-town .skyscraper and while there are busts of Lenin here and there, a diligent search failed to disflose sliding panels, trap doors or any other of the traditional mechanismis of melo- drama. “Of course we know,” they said, “that there have been attempts to picture us as villains and spies, but we feel Americans are coming to a better understanding of what Am- torg is trying to do in the United States.” Then they proceeded to explain ithat they wer& so occupied in pro- !moting business relations between the United States and Russia that they did not even have time to con- sider such vital political issues as whether this government should rec- | ognize the Soviet. They are the pio- neers of a new governmental exper- liment. They have emigrated to the | United States just as employes of the Hudson Bay company penetrat- ed the wilderness of the North American continent in search of business for their employers. Yets Contracts Specifically, the Amtorg Trading Corporation is charged with the task |of letting contracts in this country ifor work in Russia and for helping | Russia sell its goods here. 1t acts as a commission house. “It is our job to let contracts to such firms as the Ford Motor Co., the Seiberling Rubber Co., the Tim- ken-Detroit Axle Co., and some 50 others for work in Russia,” one of: ficial explained. “That means these firms send technicians to the Soviet states and we in tdrn bring experts over here to confer on big construc- tion projects. We feel this inter- change of expert labor is beneficial to both countries."” Amtorg on this basis has only a few articles for sale, and that is why its officials claim to be amused at such things as former Police Commissioner Grover Whalen's at- tempt to prove they had in custody a sheaf of Soviet documents which were purported {o be instrumental in the spread of Soviet propaganda. The documents subsequently were proven to be forgeries, So far as Russian trading on the Chicago wheat market concerned, Amtorg officials hold that is g le- gitimate operation which is ?oun- tenanced by business men every- where. The Amtorg men contend such trading is merely an adoption of American methods. Chemist Is Fead At the head of Amtorg is Peter A. Bogdanov, a slight, soft-spoken man who has not mastered English thoroughly. In Russia he is reputed to be a shrewd business man and an expert in chemistry and mining en- gineering. Before assuming the chairmanship of the board of Am- torg, Bobdanov was head of the So- viet supreme economic council and had supervision of the Grozny oll fields and the anthracite mines in the Donetz basin. Through an interpreter Bogdanov talks glibly of international finance and the Soviet's problems, “The credit situation seems to me to be in a peculiar condition at pres- ent,” he said. ‘Despite that, howd ever, the Soviet fiscal year which just closed, produced a record vol- ume of trade between the U. S. S. R, and America. Once International credit is restored to a sound basis, I think our trade will show even more increases. Russia is not fac- ing a famine; there is an ample do- mestic grain supply. There may be a shortage of meat in some sections but that is a prpblem of distribution rather than of ‘supply.” He courteously led the way to the elevator, and a nalve reporter who had expected to see samovars, fur boots and Volga boatmen, left with the impression that he had been talking to a group of American business men who were on.the verge of a big deal. RED ACCUSES COPS ¢s Corner Gathering Here L R. 8. Kling, communist candidate for governor of Connecticut, &poke to nearly 150 adults and about 100 children not ‘yet in their teens last night at Winter and Starr streets, and sold several copies of a com- munist leaflet. : The speaker berated the owners of the Stanley Works, saying that through over production of goods made by the labor of thousands of workers the factory could not sell the surplus and the workers who made “the product were discharged instead of sharing in the profits of |the company and thereby having money in the banks to guard against a lean time. President Hoover was severely criticized for his speeches in which he “fooled the workers by telling them that the peak of the unemployment is over. Says Cops Want Not At one point during the speech two young men slightly under the influence of liquor attempted to start trouble with another man. but Mo- torcycle Officer Louis E. stepped between them and the two young men walked away. The speaker saw the incident and, pausing in his talk, pointed dra- matically toward the officer and said, ‘Those stool pigeons for the capi- talists (meaning Officer Harper and OF INCITING RIOT {Candidate for Governor Address- | Harper | Amtorg Trading Corporation Has Ordinary Place Of Business, Reporter Discovers two other officers who, wero stand- ing nearby) “are tryidg to start a riot, but we will not let them, Everyone Reep cool.

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS AT END OF LONG SESSIONS (Continued From First Page) sembly requested the council to call this conference “as soon as possi- ble,” feeling that it would be dan- gerous to fix the date until full pre- paration has been made. In a searth for means to relieve the world’s economic crisis the as- sembly urged on all efforts at con- certed action and set up a world wide inquiry into the course, phases and causes of the prevailing depres- sion. CARDINALS PUT FAITH IN SPEED OFLEFT HANDER (Continued From First Page) they win now they would do somes thing no team has done before. | There is no record of a club win- ning in a seven ganle world series after losing the first two games. It has been done once !n a nine game series. To capture the important game today, Manager Charles Street nam- ed “Wild Bill" Hallahan, his sensa- sational young lefthander, to do the pitching for the Cardinals. Hallahan won 15 game for 8t. Louis during the regular season, in spite of streaks of wildness which gave him the unenviable distinction of leading the National League in bases on balls. To offset the bases on balls however, he was runner-up to Dazzy Vance, in strikeouts, just one behind the Brooklyn speed ball King. St. Louis players insist that Hal- lohan is as fast as Vance and fast- er than Robert Moses Grove, the Athletics lefthanded ace. and meeting between the two southpaws &as been hailed as a baseball *‘nat- ural.” There was a possibility that ir might materialize today, but men close to Connie Mack were inclined to think the veteran manager of the Athletics would give Grove another day of rest and send either Bill Shores, young righthander, or George Walberg, a big left hander, to the mourkd. Mack Keeps Silence Connle maintained his character- istic Mackian reticence with no sug- gestion that he would reveal his pitching choice until shortly before game tme. | A change in the starting lineup of the Cardinals was announced in the substitufion of Jimmy Wilson for Gus Mancuso behind the bat. Wil- son, hurt September 12, has caught only one game since, but his injured ankle was reported on the mend, so Manager Street decided to send him out as a veteran batfery mate for the vouthful Hallahan, Mancuso caught well enough at Philadelphia and cracked out a hit in each game, but Mancuso is even younger in vears and experience than Hallahan, Street evidently decided that the counsel of an elder was needed in the crisis, Manager Mack was not expected o make any change in his lineup on account of the lefthanded pitch- ing selection by St. Louls. He has three batsmen who hit from the left side of the plaie, Cochrane, Bishop and Haas. Manager Street at Phil- adelphia) sent in Blades, a right hand hilter to play right field, in place of the left hand hitting Wat- kins, and had only one left hander left in the game, “Sunny Jim" Bot- tomley. Street said today as his team pre- pared to do battle in the third con- test that neither he nor his players were downhearted. “The Athletica have won two in a row,” said Gabby, “and we have as good a ball club as they, so we can win two, or more, straight.” In the first two games the Car- dinals outhit the Athletics 15 to 12 but were outscored 11 to 3, chiefly because the winners specialized in | extra base hits and were able to co- ordinate their safeties more effect- ively. Game at 2:30, E. S. T. Game time, 1:30 o'clock, (Central Standard Time) was expected to find Sportsman’s park filled to its ca- pacity, slightly in excess of 40,000. All the reserved seats were sold well in advance and thousands lined up for a long walt for the privilege of purchasing the 5000 available bleacher seats. The umpires today were Harry Gelsel, (American league). at plate; J Reardon, (Nationals), at first; George Moriarity, (American); at second; Charles Rigler, (National), at third.
