President Elliott Makes Statement Re. garding the Strike Situation. President Elliott of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company came from Washington and said: “The issue is not one of hours but of wages. The men do not say they will work 8 hours 2nd no more. Some now work less than esgat hours and some more than eight hours. “They demand that what they now receive for ten hours of less be paid for work of eight hours or less and for overtime 50 per cent. more per hour. On this basis 6,967 men in the engine, train and yard service of the New Haven steam roads would received in 1915 $10,180,855 instead of $8,221,106, or an increase of $1, 549, or nearly twenty-four per cenf., with no change in the number of hours worked or service performed. “The president of the United States suggested that the eight hour wage day be adopted and that overtime be at the hourly rate for the eight hour: an increase of twenty-five per cent. in overtime. On this basis the increase would have been §1,179,932, or nearly fifteen per cent. Whatever the in- crease may be it decreases the ability of the company to adG to the trans- portation facilities of New England. “I have from the time this ques- tion began to be discussed seriously felt that it ought not to be settled without giving the public, the real party in interest, time to understand it, an opportunity to express its opinion before the congress—or an im- partial tribunal created by the presi- dent or by congress. “It would seem to be easy for rail- road owners and managers to increase wages if every time they did so the freight and passenger rates could be increased and the burden transferred to the public who pay the bills—but the public ought to have a voice in the adoption of such = polley “There is also the question of the emount of transportation to be pro- duced. There is not enough being furnished for the Ty nt and future needs of the country. and in my judg- ment the plan suggesvec, will reduce the ability of the railroads to furnish that transportation needed by the American people, and the public'are necessarily and vitally interested. “I have therefore felt that I owed a duty to the people of New England as well as to the owners of the prop- erty and to all of the employes—to use such influence as I supposed to have the subject settled only by arbitration and after the public unaerstood it and had registered its will. “I recognize that organized labor i: one of the great forces of modern in- dustrial life. But just as organized capital has had to subordinate its conduct to the will of the people so must organized labor recognize the rights of 100,000,000 people in this country. The present issue seems to have gone for beyond the questions in a pute between a part of the railway employes and the railroads. “The issues are: “l. Shall organized labor without any check or restraint by law have the right to force its decisions upon the public regardless of the welfare of the public? 2. Shall organized labor settle dis- putes, in which it is interested, by force or use the peaceful methods of courts and arbitration tribunals in use in all other disputes in this coun- try? “These two great questions should be settled, not by the leaders of the labor organizations, not by the presidents of the raflroads, but calmly and without excitement by the whole people through congress or through some instrumen- tality created by congress. “As president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford - Railroad com- pany. I have tried to look at this mat- ter as seemed to me for the ultimate best interests of the property, of all the employes, of the owners and of the public to be served not only today but for years tocome, and I have there- fore stood for arbitration. “As a citizen of New England, I have tried t oact as my conscience dic- tated and after guggestion and con- sultation with all classes of people, employes, shippers, owners of the securities, and members of congress. “A strike is a terrible thing to con- template and I hope it will not oc- cur and that congress representing all the people, will in its wisdom fina some solution just to a1l In the City Court.

Wilson of Bridgeport, one of the candidates for the nomination of governor before the republican state convention, to be held next week, has mailed the fol- ilowing letter to delegates elected" to the convention: that | T understand the delegates from Fairfield county will present my name at the coming republican state convention. =="your consideration, for the nomination of governor. The republican "party in the city of Bridgeport and the state of Connec- ticut has honored me much beyond | my expectations, and I state to you | freely and - sincerely, that whatever the outcome of the coming state con- vention, I shall always be deeply ap- preciative of the confidence extended fo me by the republicans of Connec- ticut. It seems to me that the policy of the incoming governor should be to carry to completion the program of fiscal reform started by the last gen- eral assembly. Any stident of the fin- ces of the state of Connecticut, aft- er a report of the fiscal report dur. ing Governor Baldwin’s incumbency, must conclude that the time has ar- rived when a settled flscal system must be devised; establishing a line of demarcation in the financing of per- manent improvements on the one hand, and the current expenses of the state on the other. To solve this first problem, the preliminary steps should be taken in the establishment of a budget svstem, so thar we shall know accurately, and in _ detail, our sourc- es of revenue in advance of.the mak- ing appropriations. To continue the policy of first appropriating and after- wards arranging your revenue is un- sound and - will be disastrous to the state. The republican party in the last seneral assembly was confronted with the pressing need of raising addition- al revenue for the state. The condi- tion was caused by the mistaken fin- ancial judgement of Governor Bald- win's administration. As a result of the revenue legislation of the last general assembly there is reposing in the state treasury today the largest amount of money in the nistory of the state. Core and caution must be used in the appropriations of the coming gen- eral assembly, so that the enorr bank balance ‘shall not be an tion to extravagance in_ expenditures, and T am inclined to belleve that the party should, in the coming state con- vention, commit itself to the payment of some of the debt contracted during the last six vears. I believe we will be justified in continuing the development system of z00d roads throughout the state and the establishment and further devel- opment of institutions which are re- quired fo care for those who have been unfortunate in life. At the same time, we should be particularly car ful to guard against extravagan construction of institutions, partic-u larly of armories. mention this spe- cifically, because in certain directions T think there has been an abuse. I~ summarizing 1 would say that the vital interests of the state of Connecticut are: First—The establishment of a bud- et system, so that there will be the cchstitency of arranging revenue be- fore appropriating. Second — The ~establishment of a definite fiscal policy for the state, so that in the future the practice of meeting current expenses out of the proceeds of bonds should not be re- eated. P“Thira — Consolidations of _different departments, for the purpose of low- cring cverheard expenses—although in this connection I think Connecticut leads any of our eastern states. Fourth—An adult of the accounts of the state institutions for the pur- pose of unifving and standardizing the bookkeeping, so that all auditing can be done from one central point— the state capitol at Hartford. As a result of this auditing, it would seem to me that the state could arrange a more systematic and economic pur- chasing of their supplies by making contracts on the basls of minimum and maximum amounts. ifth—The establishing of an equit- lable system of taxation throughout { the state. Sixth—The fnauguration of an ab- solutely bona fide civil service. These are some of my views on the questions affecting the state of Con- necticut, and I have the committee on resolutions, independent of my candi- dacy, will consider these guggestions. 17 'tho delegates to the republican state convention, deem me worthy of the honor of the gubernattorial nomin- ation, I shall do my utmost to serve, and shall constitute myself occupying the governor's chair as a representa- tive to carry out to completion the republican party's policies, and not for the purpose of exploiting my self- ish ambition.

After his annual vacation Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., returned to his pul- pit at the Central Baptist church on Sunday morning and was welcomed back by a large number of his par- ishioners who were present at _the service. Rev. Dr. Slocum chose Roads as his topic and his text was taken from John 14: 5, I Am the Way. In _part Rev. Dr. Slocum said: Country roads have a fascination all their own. This is especially the case when you go over them for the first time. They are interesting because of their diversity. There are peaceful roads that rush along the valleys and there are rugged roads that climb the hills. There are woodsy road that wind through the shady forests and there are roads that lead across the open spaces under the blazing sun. There are winding roads that follow the curve of the rivers and there are zig- zag roads that lift themselves across the very mountains. There are mamy good _roads there are also some bad roads. Roads are interesting because they g0 _somewhere. Traveling through an unfamiliar country, one finds himself speculating as to where this road goes and where that one goes. These new roads are interesting because they are new and we find ourselves picturtng what farms and homesteads may He along their course, what brooks and rivers they may span. And then it is also true that old roads have their charm. We love them be- cause we have traveled them so many times. Longfellow in his poem, My Lost Youth, writing of his native city, Portland, Maine, says, in the opening stanza: and Often T think of the beautiful town That is seated by the sea; Often in thought o up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town, And my youth comes back to me. O the pleasant streets of memory— the highwa: and byways of experi- ence! The short cut across the fields to a neighbor’s, or to the village store, or to the village church.

Down on Cape May where New Jersey juts down into Delaware Bay the whole country for scores of miles is as level as a floor and the main roads are well nigh perfect. It was an ideal sort of existence to skim along those vellow, dustless roads in our visits to beautiful g summer = resorts along the Atlantic shore. But one day in our own Connecticut near the end of the vacation season we spent a golden afternoon among the hills overlooking- the sea in an anclent town of eastern Connecticut.

O, Sheet Packing. i THE PORTEDUS & MITCHELL €0, § FLUMBING AND GAS FITTING relationships. The program of Jesus would settle all our labor troubles. Then Jesus is the way in the sense that He completes the journey. He is not only the road but He is the end of the journey. He is guide and goal. Jesus stepped aboard the little boat one night on storm-tossed Galilee and immediately they were at the land wither they went. He was pilot and harbor that night to the distracted disciples Going "across from New London to Fishers Island one dark, stormy night this summer the steamer used her search light all the way across and when we came into the little har- bor over at the island the light swept the channel and showed the man at the wheel just where to swing. Jesus is the light on life’s darkened way and at the same time He is the way itself. All our springs are in Him. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last. From Him we have our Iife; by Him we live it; for Him we_end it. Christina Rosetti matter in an exquisite poem, Up H Dr. Slocum quoted the poem as the Phone 581 !

BURNS Heating and PIumbingA put the whol for we had almost forgotten what it was to “jog along.” Our guide was well acquainted with that country and we visited some spots of historic in- terest. Saw among other things the old house where Whitfield, the great preacher, stood upon a balcony over the front door and preached to a great multitude; saw that same after- noon the site of the First Baptist meeting house ever erected in the state of Connecticut. _Returning home, we came to the cross-roads that are sometimes so confusing, and we took the road that led us about two miles in the wrong direction. That of course meant four miles wrong for we had to retrace our way. It is so easy to be mistaken, especially when someone just knows that this is the right way. There are so many cross roads; so many winding paths; so many sign boards that are twisted un- til they point in the opposite direc- tion from the way they were intended to point. One day the disciples, all confused from their efforts to get things straightened out so they could under- stand them, were expressing their ense of unrest and uncertainty, whereupon Jesus said: I am the way. I have chosen those words this morn- ing because therc are so many differ- ent paths in these days. It seems to me people used to be much more certain as to their relig- ious experience. People used to be more positive’ than they are row. There were not so many cross roads and roads that fork to the left and to the right. One night this summer I was fol- lowing an old path through the woods —a path that I had been perfectly familiar with in other years, The night was inky black but my feet fol- lowed safely in the old trail until by and by an obstacle threw me tem- porarily out of the path and it was several minutes before I could get back into the trail. Stepping out of the way, even for a moment, is a risky thing. Some years ago I spent half a day trying to get back into a familiar path from which I had care- lessly strayed, thinking I could easily return. There are a good many people who have temporarily -lost their way. Some have permanently lost it. Others have neyer found it. Jesus is the way because He is life’s true direction. He settles all ques fons and resolves all doubts. He is like the day after the storm when the | mists and the humid vapors have been dispelled by the winds that come out of the north and we breathe again with a sense of new life. Jesus is the way because He is the only true direction of life. He is the magnetic pole towards which every noble impulse swings. He is the sun in the spiritual system by which all the surrounding planets are sustain- ed. Take the sun out of our solar system and chaos would result. Take Jesus out of the Bible and out of our life and bewlldering chaos would fol- low. He is the way in the sense of our direction. Without Him we should never find our way into_the ngdom of God. Nay, without Him we should never reach the best things of our common daily tasks. Again Jesus is the way because He is life’s truest method. Just after the resurrection of Jesus the apostles called the Christian life the Way. Jesus is a method as well as a Man. He teaches us how as well as what. We never really begin to live until we live_in accordance with the program of Jesus.
