Day at Gales A happy crowd, plenty of good wholesome sport, a perfect day as to weather,*and for location one of, the most charming and beautiful spoty on the Thames river—this is a brief de- ription of the second annual excur- ston held on Saturday by the Sunday schools, of St. Andrew’s Episcopal,Nor- wich Town Methodist, Greeneville Congregational, Swedish Lutheran and Third Baptist churches. A special train of ten cars filled with a merry throng left Greeneville station about 9 o'clock for the beautiful spot below Gales Ferry known as Brown's place, where the host, Charles Brown, extended in his hospitable way the freedom of his property. The generat committee took charge of affairs at once. Paul Zahn had set up a tempo- rary ice cream parlor, and with his as- ants—John A. Scott, Charles Er- win, Sr., and Smith Barnes—was kept busy dispensing cooling drinks, ice cream and candy. The game commit- tee had a programme to interest old and young. Following were the con- tests and successful competitors: Ball throwing, Howard Rydholm, baseball bat; shoe scramble, Richard elson, catching glove; 50 yard dash, a Ringland, leather jewel case; 100 yard dash, Joseph Frasier, fishing rod; egg and spoon race, Mrs, Richard Ber- koff, mirror; egg and spoon race, Miss Carrie Bowker, fountain pen; egg and spoon race, Amelia Erwin, gold beauty pins; ball throwing, Sarah Chesney, box chocolates; potato race, Raymond Harris, watch; throwing wind bag, Fred Fleming, clock; 50 yard walk, Miss Agnes Dawson, silver hatpin; 50 vard dash, Alex Finlayson, gold scarf- pin; three leg race, winners competing singly, George Ferguson, pocket flash light; 50 yard dash, Clarence Bates- man, pocket knife; hurdle race, Jay Ricketts, pocket knife; 100 yard race, Arthud Rydholm, pocket knife; needle race, Mrs. Anton Nelson,cloisonne pin; standing jump, Howard Rydholm, set of tools; hop, akip and jump, Jay Ricketts, silved drinking cup; 50 yard dash, Sadle Grant, doll; 50 yard dash, William Knowles, mechanical toy au- tomobile; 10 yard scissor dash, Mrs, Charles Burton,scissors in case; catch- ing pig, Miss Florence Thatcher, ther- mos bottle. ’ The pig catching contest was per- haps the chief attraction of the day, the pig being cleverly captured by Miss Florence Thatcher of Norwich Town, who was awarded the thermos bottle, Other attractions on the grounds were croquet contests, hitting the doll, prize package game, rope skipping, swings, quoit throwing and a ball game, the captains of the rival teams being Stanley Mulkins and Kirk Rick- etts The return trip was made at 5 o'clock and everyone was unanimous in say- ing the picnic was a decided success, which was partly due to the efficient work of the general committee, com- posed of George Stevens (chairman), Oscar Carpenter, Arichibald MacDou- r. French and Robert Pack- ham, assisted by the game committee, composed of Mrs. Louis O. Potter, Miss Annie Pearson, Miss Mabel Christen- son, Messrs. Howard Bent, Kirk Rlck- etts, Stanley Mulkins.

Short-Handed and Help Only 50 Per Cent. Efficient—Wages Are High, But There is a Social Stignia —Greeks and Italians Taking Over the Jobs. Seldom or never have the cotton mills of this country suffered from a more serfous shortage of labor than at present; and this condition is going to get worse Instead of better, in spite of the fact that wages are now at their highest level. Such are the as- sertions made by the agent of two of the big Connecticut factories which have their headquarters in Norwich. “Just now we ar running 25 per cent. short handed,” he said, “and every mill of which I have knowledge is in the same flxor a worse one. Moreover, this statement {8 far from representing our total labor troubles, for much of the help we have is only about fifty per cent. efficient. Every- where mills are simply fighting to get good workpeople. The scareity of com- petent hands is one reason why it ac- tually pays many factories to run at a loss, for if they ever shut down their force will be at once absorbed by com- petitors and will never return. Thus when good times are with us again these mills upon reopening would be unable to obtain their full share of the prosperity for the reason that their personnel would be inadequate and unseasoned. Labor Question Most Important. “The labor question is possibly the most important problem before the cotton textile industry today. If we are so hard put to it for help now, when times are satisfactory only by comparison with what they have been, how are we going to make out when business really begins to hum and or- ders plle up? The workers are simply not in sight, and where they are com- ing from I don't know. “We pay good wages, and we'll hire almost any adult. When I became agent of these mills a weaver had to hurtle to make a dollar a day, and if he didn't prove competent there were lota of others to take his place. Now a weaver, working on the piece basis, which prevails in this industy, can make $15 te-$20 a week if he's com- petent, and if he's incompetent we keep him just the same. Bo long as he can't be replaced, it's better to get a little work out of his machine than no work at all. “Down south, I understand that things are just as bad. The agent of a large mill in that section told me that his plant alone could employ ev- ery hand in the state. Shortage Due to Social Causes. As I look at the cause of this labor shortage, it is due to social rather than to economic causes. For some reason a mill hand seems to think that there is a stigma attached to the work. It's not a question of wages fundamentally at all. There are mill workers' daugh- ters as'clerks in the stores of Norwich who could make much more money at the loom. But they believe, apparently, that they would impair their chances of marriage or at least lower their so- clal status, by laying aside their pret- ty dreeses and standing up to a ma- chine. Where Will Workers Come From? “The mill rarely retains any given nationality of employes for more than one generation. Americans, English and Swedes were succeeded by French Canadiane, and the children of these immigrants today willingly allow the Greeks and Itallans to take over the jobs their parents once held. Well, where will the next generation of mill workers come from? “I regard the labor question as much more serious than the tariff, Revision of the present cotton schedule may hurt the industry, but it will do so more in a sentimental than a material way, Our weavers can tend fifteen or twenty spindles at once, if the Nor- thrup loom is used, whereas the for- elgn weaver won't look after more than four or five. Therefore, while our wage scale 1s higher than the for- eigner’s, our ratio of labor cest Is smaller, And, iIf we don't need a tariff for the protection of labor in the cot- ton industry, we don't need much of any protectien at all, for raw material is frea of import tax. The cotton in- dustry in Ameria needs a good supply of competent workers more urgently than it needs high protection.” “ROUND THE WORLD” CAR VISITED NORWICH Famous Old Veteran That Won the New York to Paris Race Here Sun- day Afternoon. Rolling into Franklin square about half-past four Sunday afternoon, a big gray touring car, plastered over In every available space with hotel tags and initials, but with an American flag streaming jauntily over all, was for half an hour the center of a large group of observers. The travel- scarred veteran turned out to be the old Round the World Thomas car that won the New York to Paris race in 1908. In that long, grueling test of endurance the car stood up under the gring in a way that has led to its use in a fleld that the Thomas company is now a ploneer in developing. Neil Nohr and Eimer Miller were here with the car Sunday and these experts are carrying out the “techni- cal service” policy of his company. Their orders are to visit all owners of that car, inspect and make needed ad- justments on their cars, and co-oper- ate with local dealers in renewing this technical service to owners. They are now working east with the service car from Buffalo, and have thus far vis- ited two hundred owners. During the summer the New BEngland states will be thoroughly covereq and the car will then go back west through New York and Pennsylvania. Messrs. Nohr and Miller came here from Hartford to inspect the car of a Broadway owner. COTTON MANUFACTURERS CONVENE NEXT MONTH Grosvenor Ely and John Ecoles of This City on Committee of Meeting.

A red snake was killed Tuesday of this week near the sawmill camp in Lantern Hill district. The snake was first seen by George Merrick, who spoke to one of the workmen who was standing within a few feet of the reptile, saying, ‘“Bert, there's a snake in front of you Bert grabbed a club and made quick work of the vanomons creature. The copperhead measured three feet six inches, and the men are now looking fof the mate, It has been seen since, but not captured. The one that was killed was a large specimen of its kind and has been on exhibition at the camp. Gilbert Transportation Co.

A little over a month ago, Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin caused to be sent to all of the directors and trustees of state institutions a letter containing excerpts from Attorney General John H. Light's opinion on the furnishing of suppHes to the various institutions, Judge Light took the position that it was a violation of the law for a direc- tor to allow a corporation or company with which he was connected to sup- ply any institution with materials of any kind. Since the letter went out, there has been considerable discussion among the directors and trustees, and two of the members of the board of trustees of the Conmnecticut hospital for the insane have seen t to take the letter as personal to themselves and have resigned. It is understood that not a few others have written to the govern- or, asking for an explanation of the letter, and just what its effect was concerning themselves. It is also said that a director of one of the board of trustees of the Connecticut agricul- tural college haq offered to resign, and that the governor had urged him to remain a dlirector, taking the posi- tion that a company or corporation, of trustes of a state Institution, could trustee of a state Institution, fould furnish supplies to the institution, pro- viding it was awarded the contract to do 80 on a competitive bid. A number of questions have been raised by the letter, especially as to its effect on members of school com- mittees, and Judge Light said that he had been asked by the governor, and had given, a supplementary opinion on this question, In this opinlon, Judge Light held that the law will not affect members of school committees, ALFRED H. CHAPPELL DIED SUDDENLY SUNDAY. Well Known New London Business Man Suffered Apoplectic Stroke— Had Distinguished Career. Alfred H. Chappell, one of New Lon- | don's best known citizens, passed most unexpectedly awey at his home on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock. On Sat- urday afternoon he had been at the Pequot Casino, had dined later at home with Mrs. Chappell, and passed the evening at his residence in his usual excellent health, His son, Alfred H. Chappell, Jr., had gone out as a dinner guest, and Mr. and Mrs, Chappell re- vmklinavl up to await his return. About 1230 Mr. Chappell went upstairs and lay down on the bed. A few minutes later Mrs. Chappell heard hm breath- ing heavily, and when she went to him he was unconscious. Mr. Chappell died before a physician could be summoned. The cause of his death was apoplexy. Only & short time before he had been told by a medical man that his physi- cal condition was excellent. Mr. Chappell was born In New Lon- don, May 12, 1849. After the public school he was graduated from the Bartlett High school, and then attend- ed the Berkeley Divinity school at Mid- rletown, with the intention of becom- ing an Episcopal minister, This de- cision he abandoned, however, and on 12 BEuropean trip he became a Roman | Catholic. As a member of that church ihe -had been ardent, Entering a business life, Mr, Chappell company of New London, when that company was started by his brothers, i Frank H_and William S. Chappell and his uncle Edward Chappell of Norwich, in 1865. In 1869 Edward Chappell re ‘tred, and the two brothers continued the business until 1875, when William S. Chappell retired. From 1875 to 1857 F. H. Chappell was the sole member of the firm, but in January, 1887, he took Alfred H. Chappell as his partner, and the firm has since been the F. M. & A. { H. Chappell company. But, besides the coal and lumber business, Mr. Chap- pell has been identified with many oth- er interests. At the time of his death he was a trustee and treasurer of the | Connecticut Collesge for Women, a di- rector of the National Bank of Com- merce, treasurer of the Thames Tow- boat company, trasurer of the Thames Ferry company, president of the Lyce- um Theater company, and he also was interested tn both the East Lyme and Groton and Stonington trolley roads. In the social life of New London Mr. Chappell was prominent - For a num- ber of years he was president of the Thames club, and he was a member of the Manhattan,” Whitehall and Cath - olic clubs of New York city. In pub- Ue life he had served with distinotion 4% a member of the board of educa- tlon, as% a member of various commit- tees and he had repressnted New lon- don In the legisiature, Fle was u past president of Nathan Hale chapter of the Sone of the Amerleal Revolution, and was a member of he New London Historical soclety, As wn orgmhist Mr. Chappsil waa was employed by the F. & W. Chappell | wld‘e.ljr known as a more than ordinari ly talented player, and music to him was always a charm. At one time he was organist at Christ Episcopal church in this oity, and to his organ playing he then added another pastime, that of walking, sona often he made the trip from New London to the church on foot. Mr. Chappell for & time conducted a music store on Main street in Norwich. He has been or- ist at Bt, James' church and at St. ry's Star of the Sea church in New London, and in the latter he played at the funeral of the late Orgenist Mur- nane, In New London he married Adelaide Shepard, and she survives with four sons, F. Valen Chappell of New London, George 8. Chappell of New York, Henry C. and Alfred H Chappell, Jr., of New London, and one aaughter, Mrs. W, Carl Sheffield of New London. His brothers, Frank H. and William 8. Chappell, also survive. As & public spirited citizen in the broadest sense af the term, he worth- ily lived up to the ideals of his distin- guished ancestry. His death has call- ed forth countless expressions of sor- row in New London and in this city, where he was well known and has rel- atives. Public expression of their sor- row has been made by Morton F. Plant and Mayor Bryan F. Mahan, who had been closely associated with him in the worlk for the Woman's college. FINAL REPORT IN _HIGGINS-JODOIN CASE. epresentative Ed- Offered by House win Committee. W. Higgins (Special to The Bulletin) ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—House com- mittee No, 3 through its chairman, Judge Goldfogle of New York, present- ed its final report late Saturday even- ing in the contested election case of Jodoin vs. Higgins. § The report goes into the case in great detail, quotes from the election laws of the state of Connecticut, and recom- mends the adoption by the house the following resolution: “Resolved, That Raymond J Jodoin was not elecied a representative in congress from the Third congressional district of Connecticut and is not en- titled to a seat therein, and that Ed- win W. Higgins was elected a repre- sentative in congress from the Third congressional district of Connecticut and is entitled to a seat therein.” GETTING AHEAD. Theme of Rev. C, H. Rioketts of Greenville, at First Church. At the First Congregational church Sunday morning the sermon was by Rev. C. H. Ricketts of Greenville Con- gregational church. The text was, But While I am Coming, Another Steppeth Down Before Me. This shows the relation. he said, in which one man stands to another. Some have more of the get-ahead spirit, exec: tion follow resolution more quickl Abraham Lincoln forged ahead any who served with him. portant that some forge ahead. ol It is im- The right or the wrong of getting ahead depends upon the motive. No man has any right to rise by trampling an- other man down. Until the kingdom of God comes with mightier power, thc sick, the poor, the incompetent are to be crowded out by seifishness, Men everywhere are rising into the divine, yet at the same time the rc- verse is true. There are some things in this life that are above market price. The offering of a mess of pot- tage in place of the birthright, by craft or brute force, is copied from Jacob. Pushing a man out of the line doesn’t end the matter. What is the effect 6n the one pushed out? Sometimes il spurs on a man to do his best, in other men it paralyzes the capacity What are the things that are push- ing men out? Poverty which keeps many from an education. Unjust in- dustrial competition; it is the dispo- sition of great corporations to push out the small tradesmen. Political deceits and trickery which spoil the dignity of this nation. Finally, per- sonal vices, such as drink, keep one from success. Not far from Norwich is the pooi which is touched by an angel. Men are about it who have been sick more than 38 years. Are we keeping others away? 1Is our life such that others will feel that the waters are useless® The Golden Rule is not yet enthroned in human hearts. BIG DAY FOR FORESTERS. Norwich and Nearby Courts Unite in Annual Outing at Poquetanuck. About 150 Foresters of Norwich, Baltic, Jewitt City and Voluntown took the 8.10 train Sunday morning for the Poquetanuck drawbridge, where Court Bachem No. 94, F. of A, held its annual outing, and all spen a delightful day in the pine grove. On the arrival of the company, sand- wiches were served and at noon one of A. D. Zabriskie's delicious chow- ders was enjoyed. At 4 o'clock steam- ed clams. brown break and water- melon were the principal attractions to the picnickers, Soda was on hand for the thirsty. The day was pleasantly passed in a social way, and swimming and boat- ing were enjoyed. A number went crabbing and good catches were re- ported. In the forenoon there was an exciting baseball game between the married and single men, in which the latter team, captalned by Arthur An- drews. defeated Henry Freeman's Benedicts 4 to 2. In the afternoon Captain George Windsor's Court Sa- chem nine defeated a picked team, led | by Henry Clement, 6§ to 3in fine in- nings. The tug of war between teams rep- resenting Court Sachem and Court Norwich, aroused considerable inter- est, and after each team had won a two minute pull it was agreed to call it quits. The return was on the train arriving at 7.10. The committee which arranged the pleasant affair was composed of Lewis A. Andrews, chairman; Fred Gartier, Henry Clement, George B. Fox and Del Mette. The committee was as- sisted by J. E, Portelance, Alexander Garberry, Dona Simino and John Pechie. Fugene Tourcotte assisted in the culinary department. PITTSBURG SOCIALIST HERE. John W. Slayton Decries Present Sys- | tem and Constructs an Ideal Com- | monwealth, ! A well attended meetong of the so- cialist party of Norwich was held Sat- urday night on the corner of Cliff and Main streets. John W. Slayton of Pittsburg, Pa, was the speaker. Mr. Slayton is one of the most logical thinkers in the socialist movement in the country. He has been candidate for governor of Pennsylvania on two different occasions. His fairness and his cool, analytcical manner in point- | ing out the évils and faults of the present system, and his plain, con- vincing way of showing how he would construct the social commonwealth | was a treat, and the eager listeners manifested their apreciation with spir- ited bursts of applauss, Mr. Slayton said that he had search- ed the history of the world and he ! falled to find any political movement had ever arisen and had been success- | ful unless existing conditions that had | arisen demanded its success, He fur- ther stated that no enthroned power | had ever rec wrongs that had lartsen pnder their regime. Hence the soclalist party had the only solution, and henoe would eventually lead Amer- ica out of Its present Industrial chaos to an Industrial and political democra- ev—that s, production for use instead i of profit.

Kyle came to- gether in a wrestling match and after a hard fight Referee A, Fontaine called a draw. In the hop, skip and jump contest F, Smith proved the best man, beating his opponents by* flve inches. After the sports the bake was open- ed under the direction of the Beno: Sullivan clambake club, and it proved appetizing to the hungry crowd. The committee in charge consisted of Mi- chael M. Murphy, Martin Waldron, Eugene Lavallee, Alex Davignon and Eugene Lambert. Personal Mention. Cornelfus Corcoran of New York is visiting his parents on Hunters ave- nue. Archibalg Kyle of S.
