 A letter on arbitration from Judge George Gray of Delaware was one of the interesting features of to-nights session.
 President T. l., Lewis said that ar- bitration has done more than strikes to promote the welfare of the miners and to give stability to industry. Ar bitration requiring the selection Of d third person does not permanently settle an industrial dispute; neither does it give satisfaction to the par ties directly interested" he said, "The real merit of the question at issue ia not considered for the reason that the umpire is usually selected because of his impartial mind, and the desire that he shall deal with the questions in dispute from general rather than a technical standpoint"

INSURANCE REFORM
Professor Hartman, of Yale, Calls Tax
 alton Method Unjust.

New York, Dee, i,-Speaking bcroro the Life Insurance Taxation conference here today on Necessity of Reform of Life Insurance Taxation" Prof, Lester w, Hartman of Yale university main tained that present methods of taxing insurance are unjust and dscrmnat- ing between policyholders of different states, between different classes of pol lcyholders in the same state, and be- tween policyholdcrs and non-polcy- holders, He held that the best remedy would be for the states to abolish the general property tax, or at least to amend It in such way. as to lnelude only tangible wealth as subject to tax atlon; that if the general property tax cannot be abolished there be substl- tuted for the indirect tax upon the policy holders a direct tax upon them, making the reserve values of policies subject to taxation, not to the com pany, but to the policyholderS directly and that if no other reform eau be se- cured, uniform rates of taxation be se- cured generally by reduction in the rates of the high tax states.

Moriden, Dec. 1.-The convention Of the Connecticut Association Of School Boards the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendcnts and the Educational Commission appointed by the last general assembly opened in this city this afternoon. There was an informal discussion of matters which will be brought before the gen eral assembly at the coming session There will be at least two very im- portant bills. One will be for a law which will increase the number of skill ed schol superntendcnts in the state There are 100 towns which have no competent school supervision, and there are sixty trained superintendents em- ployed in the state, The other bill will have to do with the question Of raising the standard of qualifications for teaching in the public schools of the state At the present time about 800 new teachers are hired every year. The normal schools turn out about 25O trained teachers year, but this does not supply the need by any means The object of the bin will be 10 supply the deficiency in some manner.
