CANNOT HELP
 JAIL ESCAPES
County Commissioner Walter / Says There isNothing to do-
 More Guards Too Costly

New Haven, Aug. 22.-That the Board of County Commissioners is not seeking very lstrenuously to solve the difficulty in holding prisoners at the Jail caused by the destruction of the jail workshop is evidenced by the statement of Chairman Jacob D. Wal ter. of the board. when asked about the situation. In the first place Chair man Walter stated that he had not been aware of the escapes until he read of them in the papers and then he remarked that the commission could not help it if some of the men did escape when it was necessary for them to work outside and there was no other place for them, to work at the present time. E,
 When the idea of increasing the number of guards to watch the men was suggested. Commissioner Walter admitted that it was possible to have more guards. but that would increase the expense of conducting the jail.
 Sheriff Hugo and his son. the jailer, in explaining the escape Of three men held as prisoners. called attention to the point that the prisoners are under the supervision of the representatives Of the Chair company while at work and on account of the burning of the workshop it is necessary to allow pris- oners to go across the street and in the yard to work and that there were not enough guards to be able to keep con- trol over all the prisoners who were under the charge of the Chair com pany'S representative.

HOW A SETTLEMENT
 SETTLED A STRIKE

Rochester can boast of unique set clement activities. In 1907 Florence Ledyard Cross started a small house. keeping centre in the Italian quarter. A bureau of information and protec- ton for foreigners was afterwards added which has just taken a promf- nent part in settling a strike of Ital- ian labOrerS.
 On January the union notified the contractors that laborers on street and sewer jobs would not work after May 1 for less than 25 cents an hour. a strike was called. The strike and the part the bureau took are well described by Richard Kitchelt in The Survey.
 "At first people who had been crit icising the Italians for their low standard of living criticised them now for trying to better their con command. Groups of strikers were attacked by the police. Some men were shot and others arrested. The cases of these latter were twice post poned in spite of their desire for a speedy trial and they were finally discharged for lack of evidence. Ar bitration through Italian lawyers was tried but with no success
 ''In this extremity some of the strikers executive board turned to the bureau for help. Miss Cross called together a committee of prominent citizens and laid before them, through the testimony of the workmen themselves, the importance of a speedy and just termination of the strike. It was shown that the wages of the laborers averaged $6.50 a week., an amount inadequate to maintain a family in health and strength; that the city was being in- jured by a continually lowering stan dard of living; that the injection in- to the community of irresponsible strike-breakers was a menace to the public peace and welfare.
 ''The newspapers were induced to print the truth about the strikers. Public sentiment gradually changed in favor of the workmen. Petitions from residents and shopkeepers along torn-up streets were laid before the mayor At last after the strike had continued four weeks the contractors consented to a conference which re- suited in an immediate increase of one cent an hour and an agreement to arbitrate the wage scale before the nert seasons contracts were entered into."
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-08-22

Even at this early date in the cam paign of 1912, Insurgency has three important States to it's credit-Iowa, Kansas and. California-beside scatter ing districts elsewhere. Indeed, there is more than suspicion that it per meates the entire country and is much stronger than surface symptoms indicate. The people have come to know that Aldrich, Cannon and Bal finger represented, in their acts, the general policy of their party as we'll as "the interests"
 The logic of events is rapidly fore ing Ex-President Roosevelt into the leadership of Insurgency. It is diff ficult to see how he can escape that position, if he so desires which is inn probable. In fact, it is far from improbable that should he openly as- su1ne the Insurgent leadership, he will be able despite the regular Federal and State machines, to con- trol the National convention of 1912 and shape it's ticket and platform.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-08-22
SHOULD NOT HILL UNCOVER?

In the contest over the office of Sheriff, there is now no doubt that Sheriff Hawley will be the Republican nominee; indeed. there hasn't been any aexibt since it became known that he desired a life tenure of the position. The Sheriff has behind him the most perfectly organized machine in the State and in addition he has the fla vor of the Bulkeley- Lake forces. It was. and still fs, impossible for any slernent to defeat his candidacy for renonfnat1on.
 Possibly, the delegates from the southsves4eu towns will be be Anti Hawiey, but whether openly and ac- lively is not yet known. If they should oppose his candidacy in the county convention, the surface unani- mify, which is 50 dear to the hearts of tRapublioan cffioeseea<ers and which Is orten secured by secret pre-conven- tion scaucuses, held for the purpose of smotfAering opposition to machine plans through the compelling force of party discipline, will for once be a missing quantity. But perhaps such a caucus will be held; if so. it may be a lively session.
 The question which is, or should be, troubling Sheriff Hawley, is, Where does Congressman Hill stand" All "smoking-out" efforts have failed. Not even the harmony dinner" given by Secretary Rogers. at which both MT. HYlI and MT. Hawley were present, brought about any indication of the former'si intentions, with regard to the latter's candidacy. MT. Paige made a forceful plea for unity, evidently directed at the Hilf-Hawley feud, but it failed of visible or audible effect.
 The Springfield Republican recently made a strong appeal to Col. Roose- welt to uncover his position as to President Taft. "A straight question, it said, should be put'-''President Taft has a right to Know very soon whether MT. Roosevelt is for him or against him."
 The same might be said as to Messrs. Hdll and Hawley. Justice to the latter demands loudly that the former should uncover. Perhaps Sherfff Hawley would withdraw if made positively aware that the strong Hill influence would be exercised against him and thus assure his de- feat at the polls But it is also pos- sible that MT. Hill desires the Sher- iffs nomination, and then his defeat, as an earned penalty for having af- frorsted the majority sentiment of the county in the HfA-Brandegee contest.
