ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION
On Freight Rates for Coal Favor
inq Mr.. Clement.

surprise was sprung on the people
of Bristol at the Republican rally held
here Wednesday evening All users of
coal realized before that the price of
coal here was sufficiently high to war
rant feeling that it was out of pro-
portion with the prices of other arti-
Giles. After stating the facts in the
case of the Waterbury asylum inves-
tigation relating to the coal used there,
Attorney Fits stated that P.
w. Clement has a special rate on coal
from Rutland to New Haven Junction
of 20 cents a ton, while others had to
pay 1926 per ton for the same service.
He held that the Bristol railroad pro.
fitted by this rate. AS p. w. Clement is
the practical owner of the Bristol rail-
road, the inference is plain. Mr. Fits
held that the people of Bristol were
either paying $1.05 too much for their
coal, or the Rutland road was carrying
coal too cheap. The charge was new
to the people there, hence it came as a
surprise and has caused large amount
of discussion. Even Clement workers
admit that it will be difficult for their
candidate to render a satisfactory ex.
PLANTATION. P. w. Clement, as owner OF
the Bristol railroad, controls the pas
senger traffic, mail carrying, freight
handling, express business, and coal
trade Of the town. The impression pre-
walls that the rates on passenger,
freight and express traffic are higher
than they should be,Ibut this enormous
rate on coal caps the climax. 1t is like
taking money out of the pockets of the
poor people who are obliged to depend
on their coal supply from this source.

Barn Burned.

During the electrical storm on Sat.

barn on the John Shedrick farm near
Beldens which was burned together with
about 40 tons of hay and 200 bushel, of
oats. Adjoining sheds and stables were
also consumed. The house was threat.

it. Partially insured.
