DELAY OF

 House. Attitude of Judiciary Com mlttee Impugned in Strong Statement.

Are Weapons Used to
 Tire Out Friends of Pub
 lie Utilities Bill-Concen-
 trated Hearing Planned
 by State Business Men $
 Association May Be Pre-
 vented.
 A gentleman prominent in the affairs of the Bridgeport Business Mems As sociation issued a statement today which by indirection is a severe criti- cism of the attitude of the chairman of the Judiciary committee and of the committee in postponing the hearing upon the Public Utilities Bill, The statement follows:
 Right after repeated announce ments that the hearing on the public utilities bill before the Judiciary com mittee at Hartford, would be held Tuesday afternoon, Mar. 2, at 2 o'clock comes the news that the judiciary committee has posted bulletin to the effect that the hearing has been inde- ffnitely postponed. II -t4 r"ts ''4f
 Inquiry from the chairman of the committee elicits the explanation that the committee has received so many requests for a postponemert and is so busy With other matters, that it con- cluded to defer the matter for awhile.
 'He was told by representative of the Business Mems Association who are interested in seeing the measure become a law, that they were ready fn, o 1no oy.i,o 6 I : ments for attending the meeting on Tuesday as ar.nounced. They told him if there was anyone not ready or anyone seeking postponement, such re- quest did not come from friends from the bill. The chairman did not deny this.'' 'f@'A ,.>~ = ''
 @"The impression at Hartford seems siring to openly combat bill which has for it's object the interests of both public and public service corpor- ations on an equitable basis, they hope to tire out the friends of the bill with postponenent and delay. Their efforts, it is said will be directed toward preventing any concentrated is plannend by the business mems as sociation of the state. ' '' -....The Judiciary Committee has evil dently succumbed to this influence but efforts will be made to have the mat : tre taken up soon and the public will be aroused and acquainted with the methods employed by the third house to prevent any legislation of this na- ture., -T''J '''l t'''' ''i A'''s 1tFi
 Tomorrow afternoon at meeting of the Bridgeport Business Mems as- socfatfon at the Stratfield, special committees from the Manufa cturers, association and the Board Uf Trade will confer with a similar committee from the Business Mems association on this important subject. '' i'f .'@' |'sf' .-'--
