THE DAILY STATEMENT.
Makes n Plea for Settlement and
 Reign of Good Feeling.

The strikers executive committee
 The strikers executive committee issued the following statement this af-
 Well, the heat of the excitement of the past few days has subsided some what, and to-day, the 178th of tho strike, finds us once more doing busi- ness at the same old stand and in the even manner which has existed since the start We are not of the opinion that every effort has yet been made to settle the strike We believe and are hopeful that there may something turn up within few days which, if it does not succeed in settling the diff f1culty, may bring the contesting par ties closer together. It seems to us that we are not very far apart at the present time. And we assure the pub lie we will keep good our promise to meet the company half way at all times
 While it is to be deplored that in a city of over 60,0o0 inhabitants, we have not at this glorious season of the year an outdoor place of recreation, we must feel that it is through no fault of ours. We think if the company had little consideration for the public, the local pleasure resorts could be opened up to such business as they never had before. This can be brought about only by a decent settlement of the strike. One Of the resorts which last year entertained 12O00 citizens, on July 4th this year, we are told, took in SIP at it's theater. On the other hand, it is estimated that 15,O0O citi- zens this year left Waterbury for out of town places of amusement. We are also reliably informed that the company recently tried to employ one of the local bands to play last Sunday and every Sunday during the summer at Boulder grove. The band sent back a reply stating that they couN not ac- cept the offer under existing circum- stances. Why the company is not willing. under these circumstances, to exert itself a trihe to bring about the eradication of such a situation, we cannot understand It certainly is showing no consideration for the pub lie which long ago stated that 1t would walk until settlement was effected, except that it is apparently and hope lessiy trying to force that public to ride. Waterbury people are built on determined principles, however, and the company ought to have caught onto that by this time. Why then not get together and let good feeling reign once more?"

STORAGE OF DYNAMITE
Aldermen Talked at Some Length on
 the Matter Last Night.


 The aldermen indulged in a spirited debate last night over the ordinance regulating the storage and sale of dynamite and other explosives of that character The remarks of MT Beach were significant. He said he thought Waterbury was a trifie neglectfui about these things, adding that but a short time ago children in the north end secured several sticks of dynamite where somebody had them stored and had them in cellars for hours trying to explode them. He also stated that the knowledge of large quantities of dyna- mite being stored in buildings that get on fire deterS hremen from doing as efficient work as they would if no such menace was at hand, and added that some cities will not allow a pound of 1t to be stored in thickly settled dis tricts. He believed that too much care could not be exercised by those who are allowed to handle it. MT Murray wanted to know why the committee didn't reconme end life sentence for violations of the ordinance instead of five years, but this didn't phase the alderman from the second, who acted as if he was of the opinion that a life sentence would be about right for a man who through his own careleSsness brought death and the troubles attend mt upon it into the homes of his neigh bors. MT BlakeSlee said he knew nothing about it and wasn't in the busi- ness, but that he thought it would be a hardship to deprive man who had gone to the expense of preparing a proper storage place for dynamite from keeping as much of it as he could store with safety. He cited the case of Will liam Chatfeld, who has a suitable place for explosives, fitted up at con siderable outlay, and asked if it would be right 10 confine him to the same amount as some one who had taken no effort to throw safeguards around it. He suggested that the matter be re ferred to City Engineer Cairns for an opinion as to the danger there was i'll storing dynamite in a proper place. MT Beach replied that the committee had relied upon Chief Engineer Snagg re- garding the danger of storing large quantities of dynamite in the second taxation district and recommended what they believed was right but if the board wanted to change the quantities he didn't think any member of the committee would find fault. He knew, he said. that contra ctors, if consulted, would say that dynamite was not dan gerous, but for his own part he should not care to take any chances with it. "Waterhury," continued the alderman. ''is not like big mining town where dynamite is used in very large quanh- ties. and for this reason it doesn't seem to me that it would hardship dealers or contractors not to keep big stock on hand and to store it where it would not be likely to harm anybody in case 1t should explode from any cause"

DURANT's INSULTING REMARKS
Criticized By a Correspondent Who
 Has No Axe to Grind.

Criticized By a Correspondent Who
 Has No Axe to Grind.
 To the Editor, Democrat:
 My Dear Sir--lt seems a trifie strange to me that no paper made any comment on the remark recently made by our prosecuting attorney, MT Du- rant, concerning an officer against whom he has brought charges. l can not but feel proud that we have an of- fcial possessing dignity and breeding enough to refer to a policeman as ''an everyday bulEhead." Such edifying sentences should be scrolled on our school blackboar1s for the edification of our sprouting citizens. Incident ally, it is a good thing for some ot- fcials that charges cannot be brought against them as readily as they seem to be against police officers. Out rageous neglect of duty and absence from office seems to pass unnohced ln some sources, and no criticism has ever been seen by me of our prosecut- ing attorney for appearing in the leg islature in favor of bill advocating prize fighting, or, to be more genteel, sparTing. I have no friend on the po- lice force that ann writing this to as- sist in any way. only wished to show that the life of the local police officers seems to be thorny.

Six-Hour Consideration Of the Anti
Trust Bill.


The Judiciary committee Of the House
yesterday afternoon adopted the antitrust
bin which was prepared by the subcommit-
tee of which Representative Littlefleld of
Maine is chairman. The bill was reported
to the full committee by the subcommittee
as a substitute for the Littlefeld publicity
bill. The committee authorized the bill to
be favorably reported to the House.
Six hours were given by the judiciary
committee to consideration of the bill be-
fore a final vote on its adoption was
reached There were differences between
members as to several features of the bill,
and much discussion was had. Votes were
taken on several sections, but none was
disturbed. A few changes In punctuation
and one verbal change were made. On the
question of favorably reporting the bill to
the House the vote was unanimous, the
democratic members and some of the re-
publican members reserving the right to
propose amendments when the bill is before
the House.
Representative Littlefeld. chairman of the
subcommittee which formulated the meas
ure, expects to make his report of the bill
to the House by Monday. the text of the
report to accompany the bill being prac-
tically complete.
The only changes made in the bill by the
full committee were the dropping out of an
of and the elimination of comma but no
change affecting the measure in any ma
terial respect was made. 1t is said that on
some of the votes affecting sections of the
bill republicans and democrats voted on the
same side.
