SHIRT WAIST
PLANT CLOSED
frechtsi Brothers Have
Gone to anhattan.

FrechteI Brothers. OF Manhattan
who leased the former police station
building in Broadway, Tottenyille,
about the first of the year as q fac
tory for the manufacture of shirt
waists and ladies' garments, have
already closed the plant down and
returned to Manhattan again.
The plant began operation on
January 6 and on February IA, after
going for q little over a month, the
dozen or more girls who were en-
p1oyed there were laid off indefinite
ly. Just what the cause Of the plant
ceasing to run could not be learned
but it is said that a settlement with
the unions In Manhattan at the
plant in Manhattan is the cause of
this place being closed down SO sud
denly. Frechtel Brothers had q
large factory in Manhattan before
coming down here. The continual
strikes among the garment makers
in that borough drove them from
that place. They came down here,
expecting to get rid OF the unions
but 1t IL understood they were con-
tinually bothering them In n way
or another so that they were forced
to give up the local plant. Some of
the machinery has been shipped to
Manhattan. but the most of 1t is
still in the building.
Anderson Fisher and his sister,
Mrs. G. Bedell, OF the build
ing, have the Frechtel Brothers sig
nature to a years lease on the
building. During the time the fac
tory was in operation here there

CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
UP BlFORE COMMITTEE

Hartford, Feb. 17.-Members of the
state board of education, their agents.
public and parochial school principals,
Miss Julia Corcoran, deputy factory
inspector, a representative from the
Consumers League, and a representa-
tive from a New Britain mercantile
stablishment-all these elements
were present at the hearing before
the committee on education yesterday
afternoon. These various elements
seemed to be at cross purposes sever
al times during the afternoon, but
they were really all there for the
common purpose of Strengthening out
the laws regarding the employment
of child labor. Bills before the
committee were one granting certifi-
cate to children, who We're unable to
make the educational requirements
and whom 1t would seem mex ,edient
to keep in school. Another bill pro-
vided that when the secretary or
agents Of the state board of education
shall discover a child over IA or un-
der 16 years of age. who has rot the
educational attainment required by
law, the parents or guardian must
keep this child in school until it
has received a leaving certificate from

failure to comply with. this provision
is a fine not to exceed $40. Anoth-
er bill provided that a manufacturer.

tificate from the state board of educa-

ton, and keep these certificates on
file, ready to be shown to inspectors
upon request and so long as the chill
dren under consideration are in the
employ of said employers, penalty
for violation of this provision not to
exceed 500. Another bill before
the committee was regarding the ap-
pointment Of two supervisors by the
State board to do the duties prescrib-
ed and to receive the salary determln-
ed by that board.
Toward the end of the hearing,
when the air was rather heavy IN the
room, and heads were nodding. Ev-
erett S. Geer of Hartford electrified
everybody present, much the same
as that double fortissimo chord In
Hayden's Surprise symphony awak-
ems an audience which has been doz-
ing over long and heavy program Of
classical music. He vigorously pro-
tested against the issuance Of certif-
Gates being taken out of the hands
of school principals and town clerks
and being put entirely into the hands
of the board of education. He said
that this board was four or Ave years
behind already on its work, and that
if under the present system there
were b few entanglements with re-
gard to children's certificates, there
would be hundreds Of such entangle-
ments if the matter were entrusted
solely to the state board.

the manufacturers plan. their part of
the burden would also be shifted upon
the consumers.
Views upon employers liability
measures are also conflicting If such
measure be enacted. workingmen
insist that the principles of t'fellow
servant. assumption of risk" and
"contributory negligence" be struck
out. These have long been the sue
cessful defences made by employers in
suits for damages. Employers object
to the excelsior of these principles.
With them struck out. the defence in
Injuries were sustained as 20 the
degree of injuries, and as to the proper
amount of damages
Manufacturers would probably pre-
fer their compensation plan over an
employers liability act with their reg
ular defences struck out. But there
remains grave doubt whether their
compensation plan can be made oblig-
a,ory upon employees. There is lit
tie, if any. doubt that the working
mems plan of compensa ton can be
made obligatory upon employers.
Should either of these plans be
adopted. the question as to employees
liability acts remains. 1t does not
appear that the adoption of a COM
pensation act can deprive an injure1
workman from seeking damages in
the courts.
1t is a very tangled problem which
is before the Judiciary and Labor
committees of the General Assembly
for solution.

SECRETARY SHAW

is to be found in the address deliv-
cred by Secretary Shaw as presiding
officer of the Sound Money Conference
at Indianapolis. After making his
are all familiar with the picture of
the frontiersman as he opens his farm
on the prairie. He erects a shanty for
himself and his team. He marries
and children bless his home. He
builds. from necessity. an addition to
his house. He erects an upright. then
an ell. then lean-to and he sets them
on wooden pins or boulders gathered
from the creek. His stable is of posts
and poles and straw. By and by q

his prosperity justihes 1t. and he con-

illustration of our financial system.
Our fathers builded better than they
knew, but in some ways less wisely
than they thought. We are here to-
day as the architects"
This indicates the simple, homely
method of Shaw in his oratory which
has led many to note that in many
ways it is like that of Lincoln. The

could reply and why his opponents in

USE s.sfusT' INSTEAD

It is to be regretted that the May
ors' Association decided against Mayor
BuckinEham's original resolution that
the direct State tax upon the towns
is UNNECESSARY, unfair and unjust,
and amended it into q remonstrance
against such tax unless absolutely
necessary" The principal argument
in support Of this tax is that it brings
the advisability OF economy IN state
expenditures directly to the attention
Of legislators and inclines them to
scan more closely all proposed appro-
pr1ations. It is a quite plausible
argument. but the record gives 1t the
knock out". II the General Assem-
bly, has evinced. during the imposition
Of this tax. any tendency to economy,
the fact has escaped attention. Econ
omy has not been any more apparent
than during the years when this tax
was not levied. On the contrary,
expenditures have increased. and the
tendency Of legislatures Is always to
expend all available funds. The way.
and the only way. to enforce economy
is to cut down the revenue. When
there is no loose money. there will
be no loose expenditures. Cut off
tax. ana the appropriations will adapt
themselves to the reduced revenue!
Impose a new tax. and expenditures
VIII at once adapt themselves--as 1t
were. automatically-to the increased
revenue.
Imposition Of new. or the retention
Of present. taxes Is not the best way
of securing economy. 1t attacks the
problem at the wrong end. 1t says
please" to the Legislature, when the
word should be must. And the
word must will be placed in effec-
tive use when the direct tax on the
towns Is abandoned-and never until
then.
