There is no _better time, says the chief, to banish this fire hazard than during the approaching house-clean- ing season, 2 3 “I venture to say,” declared Chief Stanton, “that in countless homes in this community, attics and cellars are chok- ed with mountainous stacks of newspa- pers, dilapidated furniture, cast-off cloth- ing, old toys, rags and a misceilaneous assortment of worthless odds and ends that never will be used. and that can be characterized by no other term than ‘junk.’ Spaces under porches and other out-of-the-way places also will usually yi€ld their share of rubbish “People are continually apolgizing for the existence of trash piles. They are always on the point of removing them, and never quite getting to it, at least in a thorough way. But with spring ap- proaching; there is no better time to set about a complete elimination of *these dangerous accumulations. which await the chance spark: that usually arrives. “Upwards of thrée-quarters of a mil- lion dollars in American property is an- nually destroyed by fires due to ‘rubbish and litter.” -ancording to figures carefully compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

There is no excuse for the rubbish pile; it easily, cheaply and gquickly r°mov- ed—nc expensive fire-fizhting equipment is needed; only a little time and effort. “Then there is another side of the matter which cannot be overemphasized.” the chief went on, “I am not referring to the question of health, for the fact that rubbish piles breed disease is too well recognized to need any further com- anxious to have his children learn habits of neatness that the home should set.

John A, Ryan. of the Catholie U ersity, Wash! D. C.. in vointing out the need for co-op- eration between capital and labor. said in “The problem of co-operalion hetwee: the two classes is not a probiem of re- moiing all antagonisms and all diver- gent interests. That uriext is eimply un- attainable. Rather is the problem that of reducing the elements of conflict 10 their Jowest dimensions. and increasing. so far as vracticable. the elements of common interest. At present. thc em- vhasls vlaced by both -parties upon their mutual antagonisms. V s need- ed and what 4 L some of this emphasis to interes which empiover ‘and have -in common. It is absoluieiy necessary that they should concentrate more attention jupon obicets and nolicies which would benefit both, and Jeseen the attention which they givedo their separatc and op- posing interests. “The firet act in a prozram of recon~ iliation' is to remove cortain powerful obstacle: These are not confined to one r some of them labor is respon- for others the blame lies upon On the side o lahor, the princi is the employe Sibl capital. pal hindrances to a co-operative. polil are certain reeirictive practices of the umions: namely, restriction of output, limitation of apprenices. and disputes | concerning certain kinds of work which are claimed by more -than one craft or trade. In his testimony bafore the Lock- wood investigating committee in New York, a few days ago, Samuel Gompers fadmitted that such practices are real and costly evils, and expressed the hope that an end would be put to.such abuses by - the unions themseives. All friends of labor and of the unions will will - indulge the further hope that the correctiqn, which is long overdue, will b2 carried out in the near future. “On the side of capital, the principal obstacle to reconciliation is organized and widespread opposition to labor union- tsm, and its necessary methods and poli- cies. The ‘open shop’ movement was and is a hypoeritical attempt to cripple the tinfons under the guise of promoting free- dom of contract in industrial relations. Until capital changes its attitude on this point, no progress towards genuine co- operation between it and labor is possi- ble. - “There are two outstanding methods of co-operation which are immediately feas- ible, and which would lead to other ways and means of promoting this most de- sirable object. The first is really im- plied In the removal of the obstacle con- sideréd in the ‘last-paragraph.. If those industrial combinations, concerns, and individuais that have been attempting to cripple the unions through the ‘open shop’ movement were to abanfon this policy, they would naturally and easily be willing to adopt the practice of ade- quate collective bargaining. That is to say, they would deal.with their organ- ized employes through freely chosen by the employes them- national officers of the unions, or selec- tion of persons employed-in the plant or industry which is concerned in the nego- tiations.” The essential thing is that the employer should .not restrict or interfere h the free choice by the workers of men to Tepresent- them in making the la-| bor contract. Nothing less than this is adequate collective bargaining, or will ac- complish anything towards better rela- tions fbétwéen the two' classes.’ " *The other immediate requisite - is frank dnd general recognition’ by capital of the right of labor to a living wage. It [ cepted, at'least in its necessary -impli- fraction of our great industrial corpora- tions, Within, the last year, it has been either explicitly ‘or Implicitly rejected by the mreat meat-packing’ industries. the railroads, and several powerful comncerre in the textile industry.

After his marriage at Sutton in 1849 to Elizabeth Howard of that place, they Tesided.there for a time and then moved out to Minnesota where they lived for nine years. Upon their return they lived in Worcester for a short time and then came to Norwich.

He also leaves three great grandchildren, Harold Woodman- see, Robert Cross and Jean D. Cross. Mr, Dudley was an agreeable, ac- domodating neighbor and while a resi- dent .of the West Side was noted for his activity and industry, working on his carefully tilled garden even while well advanced in vears. He was wide- ly known among the older residents of the city, who have regretted to hear of his long illness, and will miss him as a familiar figure in the West Side section of the town.

Tn a letter last week to h mother. Mrs. Annie B. Newton of th ity, he wrote that he is largely regaining the use of his leg, has been able to drive an automchile on extended trips and has regained h original weight of 170 pounds. which had dropped to 120 pounds as a result of his burns. The accident which brought such seri- oys results to Mr. Newton happened through the thoughtless joke of a man who turnéd a stream of gasoline on him while they were filling the tank of a mo- tor truck. When the tank had filled the man who was holding the hose from the pump tunrned this towards Mr. Newton and soaked his clothing with what came from the hose. Just then a epark from back-fire in the engine set the gasoline on fire and Mr. Newton becanie 2 living torch and was fearfully burned before| the fire could be put out.
