REPORT OF The CONDITION OF THE

comes a hero and all the other boys
tell him how brave he is.
Alas and alack, that the good old
days have gone!
1t is bad enough to receive cor
poral punishment, without receiving
it under such circumstances of priv
acy as takes away both the joy of
getting sympathy and the glory of
being of so staunch a disposition and
noble and heroic temperament that
teacher couldn't makes us shed a
tear-not even a little one.
It is evident that teacher has profit
ed by her course in psychology, and
to discipline the bad boy, who was
formerly her dread, has become mere
" the way she passes her time in
her moments of leisure and relaxa-
ton.
The interesting report is silent up
on one important point. We know
where we used to get licked. But
where is corporal punishment admin
istered?

CHILD LABOR AND
EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN

An Investigation of the conditions
surrounding the labor of women and
minors, if honestly made. cannot but
be profitable. The Labor Committee
of the General Assembly has reported
in favor of such an inquiry. The
entire field Of employment should be
covered and the facts as they are
should be fearlessly exposed to pub
lie view. The agitation to prevent
child labor has not escaped the at
tention Of the average thoughtful
person. but few realize that. the in
dustrial employment Of very young
persons has had a rapid growth in
this state In recent years. From 1900
to 1905 the number of girls and boys
under 1e years of age in industrial
employment increased about 25 per
cent There is reason to suppose that
this unfortunate state of things will
show an aggravation in the figures for
1910, which will soon be Forthcoming
from the Census Bureau.

HITS RUMOR OF
DIVIDEND CUT
President Mellen Says no Basis
For Report That Action
is Pending

In denial of a rumor brought out
by the recent decline in the New Ha-
ven road stock that there was like
lihood of cutting the dividend on the
stock, President Mellen said yester-
day:
There is absolutely no basis for the
rumor that any reduction in our divi-
dend is pending. The decline in the
stock is not easily explained, but it
may be the result of the generally
unsatisfactory business conditions and
the urgency on the part of some small
holders to liquidate on a narrow Sc
curity market There is not the
slightest evidence of any institutional
selling. In view Of the steadily in
creasing burdens which are being
heaped upon us and the obstructive
legislation which is harassing the de-
velopment of railroad properties, it is
not surprising that holders of rail-
road shares in general should be
tempted in sheer disgust to liquidate
such investments in favor Of securi-
ties which are not subjected to all
sorts of hostile and restrictive legis-
lation.
"Our earnings are not as satisfac-
tory as we should like to see them,
but our nine months statement shows
that, even including the winter
months, which contribute but little
towards our dividend, we nave earned
our full proportion of the per cent.
dividend. In other words, we have
in this nine months earned per cent.
on our stock with the months of
April, May, and June yet to be heard
from. These months are always mod
erately good earners, and there has
been a very significant improvement
thus far in April which leads me to
believe that the month will show a
gross increase Of at least 1925, 900.
ct can say emphatically that, for
the twelve months to end June 30
next, the revenues of the New Haven
system will show within a very small
fraction of per cent. on our stock
it may be a small fraction under or a
small fraction over this figure. Ali
rumors that any reduction in the New
Haven dividend rate is even a posi-
bility are but the vaporings of a dis
ordered mind
From a source close to the con-
trolling interests in the Boston &
Maine comes the statement that, while
the directors have desired to maintain
the per cent dividend on the con-
mon stock, despite the necessity of
drawing upon the company's surplus
assets to do so, the roads current
earnings are so "deplorably bad" and
the outlook for material Improvement
so uncertain that the July dividend
probably will be reduced to I IA per
cent, or a basis of 5 per cent an
nually. In the first nine months of
the current scale year the surplus
available for the common stock was
not over per cent.

FREE FOOD PRODUCTS

1t is assumed that the Canadlar
reciprocity treaty will do something
toward breaking the prices of food
stuffs, upon this theory the Demo
Gratis in Congress have voted in favor
of the treaty, almost to a man.
But this is not all that the Demo
cratic house proposes to do to lower
the cost of living, so far as that re-
suit can be effected through reduc-
tions in the tariff.
In the so-called farmers free
list bill the following items are emu
merated:
Beef, veal, mutton, lamb, pork and
meats of all kinds, fresh and sailed,
picked, dried smoked, dressed or un-
manner; bacon. ham, shoulders. lard,
lard compounds and lard substitutes;
and sausage and sausage meats.
The duty on live animals remains
Thus the farmer is protected, except
so far as Canada is concerned, while
the beef trust must reduce. its prices
on prepared meats, if the bill be-
SOiuCo q low, W AiCOt tiiC SO1A1PStillOii
of such countries as Argentina and
New Zealand, the one in South Am
erica, the other at the antipodes.
Argentina is a great agricultural
country and last year exported $780,
100000 pounds of fresh beef, which
had a value of $12,O00,OO0. New Zea-
land exported frozen meats worth
SIS, 100000.
Since the farmer almost universal
ly sells his animals and buys his pre-
pared food products he will be bene-
fitted by this arrangement, which in
the last analysis will compel the food
monopoly to meet competition from
abroad, until such time, at least, as
it is able to control the foreign mar
ket as well as the home market.

FRENCH WANT MOROCCO ALONE

London, April 29.-Just how a
Franco-Spanish clash over Morocco
was averted recently has been good
deal of a puzzle hitherto. The ex-
PLANTATION is that Spain was success
full in it's appeal to the other great
European powers to prevent France
from virtually grabbing the country.
There is no question that France
had made all plans to intervene in
Morocco alone, to the tune of crowd
ing Spain entirely out of the latter's
sphere Of influence" Spain protest
ed vainly 1t took some steps tow
ard military preparations, too, but it
was obvious that the match was too
UNEQUAL for it to enter upon seriously.
But with it's appeal to the other
signatories of the Algeciras agree
ment, the Madrid government had
better luck. England, which though
friendly with France, also keeps a
watchful eye on Spain's interests,
brought tactful but neverth eless eff
fective pressure at Paris to safe
guard the Spanish. Germany, always
Jealous of Frances doings in Africa,
is understood to have brought pres
sure which was not quite SO tactfu1.
The result is that France and
Spain are acting together, though not
very tremendously, SO far as Moroc-
can affairs are concerned.

HOW TEACHER WINS

Give your reasons for or against

question sent out by the Bureau of
Educational Information, of the Fair
field County Teachers Association.
How times have changed. When
we were a boy there was no such
thing as corporal punishment Teach
er just licked us if we were bad, and
some teachers even licked us because
it was expected that we might be
bad, or just to. warn us not to be
bad And sometimes we have been
licked just because teacher felt bad,
1t least we thought so at the time.
And those lickings weren't corporal

We used to get it right before the
whole school, sometimes before we

trousers and the rest of us, where
the ruler used to hurt the most, you

Now it seems that the old oppor-

the question report that they do not

more than it does Johnnie, which
was. in the good old days, quite the

1t seems that the public applica-

DEMURRAGE RULE
IN new ENGLAND
Commerce Commission Says
48 Free Hours for I'm
loading Freight Should
Apply Here
New Haven Railroad Ship
pers Asked - Hours to
Unload Some Months Ago

Boston. April 29-Demurrage rules in
New England were considered in their
practical workings before Franklin K
Lane Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission who gave it as his per-
sonal feeling that the rule allowing
4S free hours for unloading freight
should apply in New England as well
as in the rest of the country Pend
ing the receipt of briefs from shippers
and from the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad, he took the ques-
ton under Amusement Some months
ago at the request of New England
shippers, the Interstate Commerce
Commission permitted an experimental
Y hour demurrage rule on lumber and
grain, and yesterdays hearing was
principally for a discussion of the
workings Of that plan. The shippers
were represented by Louis D. Bran
deis
Toward the close of the hearing
Ronald T. Lyman, chairman Of the
Arkwright Clubs committee on cot
ton shipments testified that the New
Haven road permitted the cotton man
ufacturers of New England SO hours
free On cotton shipments.
Commissioner Lane asked E. S. Rob-
bins, counsel for the New Haven
road, how that happened, and Mr..
Robbins replied that it was in the
tariff filed by the road with the COM
mission.
did not President Mel1en get a let
ter in regard to it from the commits
sion?" asked Mr.. Lane, and when Mr..
Robbins replied in the negative the
commissioner retorted: "Well, look
and see."
Mr.. Lyman continuing, explained
that SO hours were necessary for the
weighing and sampling Of cotton in
the wards.
In reply to question from John H.
Marble. counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Mr.. Robbins
said that the president of the Ark
wright Club is not a director or other
officer in the New Haven road.
81 have not yet heard any reason
why New England should be treated
any different from the rest of the
country in demurrage rates. said
Mr. Robbins suggested that the uni
form 4S hours rule go into effect on
all shipments June 1 as had been pro-
posed.
Mr.. Brandeis asked if he proposed
to make any changes in the free time
for cotton, and Mr.. Robbins said he
did not as the So hours were for the
benefit of the railroad and not espe-
cially for the cotton manufacturers.
Mr.. Brandeis replied that this was
discrimination against other ship
pers.
Commissioner Lane said the burden
was upon the road to show justffica-
ton for four days on cotton and only
two on other things. you have got
to satisfy the shippers of New Eng
land" said he, ''that 4S hours is suf-
fcient for them and that cotton de-
served SO hours -a
Mr. Robbins characterized the at
tack on the So hour rule as a 'dog
in the-manger' policy and expressed
surprise that such a stand should be
taken against one of the industries of
New England.

CHIEF MONEYS CRUSADE
FOR FIRE PROTECTION.

Every public spirited citizen of
Bridgeport will heartily commend
Fire Chief Edward Mooney for his
dissemination to clear the city Of fire
traps and to prevent Bridgeport and
its citizens from becoming exposed to
such q. catastrophe as the Triangle
Shirt Waist holocaust in New York.
It has long been understood that
the state laws concerning fire-traps
are not rigidly enforced, owing to the
fact that the responsibility for their
enforcement is divided among a num-
Der Of officials, and each is inclined
to shift his burdens to other should
ers.
In this instance we have the spec
tacle of the fire chief voluntarily as
stunning the task of clearing the city
of fire traps, and backing this duty
with an iron-clad purpose. The
chiefs determination to appeal to the
governor if necessary was in a COM
mendable spirit of public service AL
though the chief didn't find it neces-
sary to see the governor, his visit to
Hartford brought immediate results
Those who know Chief Mooney be-
1ieve that if he had appealed to the
governor and had not succeeded in
getting the laws enforced, he would
have carried the case to the Presi-
dent
Chief Mooney takes the duties of
his office seriously; he accepts great
responsibility for the protection of
life and property, and is apparently
determined that no effort of his shall
be spared in any direction, in down.
ing the FIRE demon. For his refusal
TO be blocked in the enforcement of
the fire laws he is deserving of the
thanks OF every citizen Of Bridgeport.

NO WELCOME FOR GEORGE.

London, April 29.-The Dublin cor
noraticn's refusal to present an ad-
dress of welcome to King George and
Queen Mary if they visit the city, as
coronation, may result in the COM
plete abandonment of the Irish trip.
The vote of the members OF the cor
noration-42 to 9-may be taken as
a fairly accurate index to Dublin pub
lie sentiment, and for this reason;
members of the royal household and
others close to the King, are said 10
have advised His Majesty that 1T Will
be better not to go near Ireland than
to risk a. demonstration of ill-will.
Members of the corporation say
they have no personal feeling Of bit
terness against the King but that
they cannot welcome him officially
until home rule has been granted to
their country.
