LABOR'S PROTEST.

The Central Body Takes Action In
 Regard to Sweat shop CIothIng-An
 Endorsement of the DemOcrat's PrIn-
 ciples.
 At a meeting of the Central Labor union last night. the committee that was ap- pointed recently to wait on the clothiers of Waterbury with a view of having fair made clothing handled by our merchants, report ed that they have waited on several of the clothiers and have arranged to have fair made clothing handled iu Waterbury, in stead of sweat shop and tenement house diseased clothing.
 The Central Labor union in view of the fairness on the part of the merchants of Waterbury most respectfully asks the members of orgAniz d labor and the public not to be influenced by hurrah methods to buy unfair. sweat shop clothing. when they can buy from the local merchants clean and fair mads clothing.
 The vote of the Central Labor union Is an enforcement uf the stand take n by the DEMOCRAT in regard to the alleged fire and bankrupt sales of clothing. If the dealers who come here for few days are really | trying to disp,se of clothing saved from fire, or bankrupt stocks. they are doing a perfectly legitimate business, although the | DEMOCRAT takes the stand that the trade rightfully belongs to the home merchants. But when. as is in nearly every instance the case, these traders come here and by misrepresentation and falsehood strive to unload lot of cheap stuff upon a gullible public they should be driven out by the force of public opinion.

REDUCING MILITARY COSTS
Radical Measures Proposed by th'
 Revision Committee.

The New Haven Leader says:
 The special com Hittee appointed by the general assembly to change the military law of 1923 consisting of Generals Franklin. Barber and Graham. the latter being an ,N-oficio member, it is stated. will recom- mend some radical changes The law now in force states that the governor shall order the brigade into camp each year. The law in this respect As recommended by the committee that prepared it provided that 1t should be optional with the governor whether one or more regiments should be sent to Mantle.
 The recommendations of the new con- mittee it Is believed by prominent officers | of the Second regiment will be with view of opductinG our militia more economic | ally The fact that our militia cost the state about $l75 GOO last ear makes 1t ap- l pear necessary that something should be l d rne to cut down the expense, According | to the present methods the expense of maintaining the governors guards is l charged up to the state militia. This eI- pense last yeAt aggregated about SlU.OOo or nearly One-fourth the cost of maintain tug the entire state force ,Or to put Int differently the expense of maintaining the governors guards ut.tca consists of only four companies, was
 
 porting the 40 CT more organizations of the National Guard The brigade stsff. which cost thR state at least S5, 900. had tuslr expenses charged up to the National Ciuard rlso. With these two items de ducted it will be seen that the National Guard expenses for last year were but $l3u. GOO. and this includes the cost of ] number of permanent Improvements. sucE as the new state rlne range at the Mantle military rendezvous.
 It + believed that the committee vii recoun4. ud that the Governors Guard bc entirely separated from the Nationa Guard so far the regular militia appro prlAtion k concerned. It is also belIevst that Ire committee will recommend tha the Governors Guard be brought nor, ,loStl ly und r the direction of the adjutan general
 The military rendezvous at Mantle il we'll known to be too small to enable tn, whole brigade to go into camp at once anC mAneuVer according to new military reGu lation. therefore the law of 1893 is con sidered at fault, and the committee, in th opInion of prominent officers. will recon mend that it will be changed so that tn governor may order one or more regi ments into camp or none. as he may Sc | fit.
 IL is believed also that the committe { will recommend that the brigade stan b : materially cut down.
