WOULD SELL OUT TRUSTS
Senator Bailey Would Then Divide
 Proceeds Among the Stockholders.

Washington, July 27.-Senator Bai- ley, in the course of the debate on the Excise Tax bill, unfolded to the Sem ate his plan for dealing with trusts. He would neither regulate nor reform corporations convicted of violating the antitrust laws, but destroy such cor porations by selling their property and distributing the proceeds among the stockholders.
 This discussion arose out of an amendment to the Excise bill, which was offered by Senator Hitchcock, who wanted to tax heavily the cigarette output of a concern in excess of a specified number, in order to break up monopoly by making it possible for numerous small concerns to com pete with the large factories.
 Senator Bailey deplored this char acter of antitrust legislation. He said that he would reach the trusts through simple amendment to the antitrust law, which would authorize the court to appoint a receiver for the property of the convicted corpora ton, sell it at public auction, and then distribute the proceeds, among the stockholders. That, he said, would deter men from carrying on commer- cial oppression and extortion through monopoly But for nation to say before the world, he contended, that it was unable to pass a law to reach the trusts, without doing violence to the theory of government, was the tragedy of the century.

WOULD SHIFT BURDEN
Effort By TroIleymen To Put Running Board Responsibility on
 Company.

New Haven, July 27.-That strong effort will be made to place the re- sponsibility of the running boards of trolley cars directly on the officials of the Connecticut company, and not on the trolley employe was learned last night when Attorney Arthur B. O'Keefe, counsel for the local division of the Trolleymen's union, announced that he will file a petition with the Public Utilities commission, asking that this body modify it's recent or- der. The petition will ask that the commission shall direct an order, and specific one, to the company. to keep the running boards clear. The of a supposed joker" in the recent decision of the commission, which di- rected the company to issue an or der to have the trolley running boards kept clear"
 Attorney O'Keefe believes that the recent order contained joker that visibly materialized when the case of a West Haven town official was tried this week, after his arrest for refus- ing to leave the running board of the car he had boarded.
 The purpose of the petition is to remove the responsibility from the trolley employees, and to make the company liable to the fine of $1,0OO attached to the recent order issued. which also specifics that double dam ages shall be claimed in case of in juries for any violation of the order. The petition will be filed next week by Attorney O'Keefe in Hartford and the action of the commission on this new development will be watched with interest.

TO FORM ONE
 STRONG UNION
MACHINISTs' ORGANIZATION AT WORK TO UNITE MILLIONS IN
 SINGLE BODY.

New Haven, July. 27-An agitation with view towards organizing the machiniSts and metal trades workers of the country into one large and powerful union has been started and is taking root in this city in the form of open air addresses to shop workers during the noon lunch hour in front of the factories of the city. The prime movers in the sWaying of the sentiment of the workers towards the organizing in New Haven is at pres ent the Brotherhood of Machinists.
 Open air meetings have been held in front of Winchester's factory ftr several moons, with a view of impress ing the employees of the largest fac tory, of fire arms and ammunition in the world with the value of taking the step. Walter Eggeman, the organ- izer of the Brotherhood of MachiniSts has been the chief speaker at the meetings held at Winchester'S, but the interest has been so great that Robert M Lackay, the grand secre taFy of tbe Brotherhood of Machinists,. came to this city from the headquarters in New York and addressed 1,200 of the employees of Winchester's factory at noon yeste 'day.
 In his address to the men he ap-e pealed to them along the lines of or ganlzlng the workers of the country into one union. He argued that by reducing the hours of labor more men would be employed, and that as a re- suit of these short working hours the wages of the men would automatical- ly adjust themselves
 At the conclusion of his speech, B. GOO pieces of literature on the matter of the organization were distributed to the audience. Applications for membership into the proposed organi- zation were also distributed and in n to fill them out and forward the blanks to 34 Park Row, New York city, the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Machinists, if they desired member ship in the organization. The object of this move is to recruit into the number of members so that in case of any contingency which may arise the members will be protected by the folds of a powerful organization.
 During the course of the addresses, the general working conditions in the various other factories and shops were compared with the local plant, and many interesting facts in the compar- ison of conditions in the relative shops were cited.
 It is the intention of the Brother hood of Machinists to continue the agitation already started by the open air meetings, and thus preserve the interest in the new movement. Ass soon as the movement Is formally launched in this city, a house to house canvass will be started by the broth erhood to sound the general senti- ment of the great body off workers towards the organizing, of the new union. It is suggested that the or ganization will be run along indus trial lines, and include all of the em ployes of the machinists and metal in- dustries affiliated with the Interna tional Metal Workers Federation, an organization embracing more than B., 00Q,00O members in Continental Europe and America.

POLI'S

One of the greatest summer shows that has ever been presented will be offered next week by the Poli Players. Nothing to think about, nothing 10 worry the tired business man. Noth- ing but amusement. A play without an intricate plot. Just fun, fun, fun, from tue rise of the curtain to the finish of the show. And all on ac- count of four false teeth. When Sid ney Drew was in vaudeville he had a playlet called "Billies TombstoneS which was such tremendous success that he was induced to have it elab- orated into the play Billy It is this super-laughable farce comedy which will hold the boards at Polls next week.
 Billy Hargrave. the hero of his col lege, captain of the football team and an all around good fellow, is the cen tral figure of the veritable gale or fun of which Billy is, made up. In a college championship football game Billy saves the game for his Alma Mater but in so doing gets a terrific kick In the jaw which knocks out four of his front teeth. For some time he refuses to go out on the street for fear people will see him diSfigured and finally is induced to have set of false teeth made to replace those he lost. In order to become accus- toned to them he decides to take trip to Havana He is accompanied by his sister and after the boat has started on it's journey he learns through a peculiar coincidence that the lady Of his heart. Miss Lloan, and also his rival in love, Sam EustaGe, are passengers on the boat. He Is greately embarrassed, for Miss Sloan is the one person above all others that he wished most to avoid.
 On seeing his rival paying particu- lar attention to his sweetheart he cannot restrain himself and watching his opportunity he succeeds in getting the gig, alone. He immediately pro ceeds 4O make love to her in whirl- wind fashion and is about to 'spop the question when, by accident, he loses his false teeth. Panic stricken lest his predicament be seen by his adored one he makes foolish chatter and rushes away. hoping to recover the teeth later and renew his suit. But alasi~ the teeth are nowhere to be found although he brings his sister into the hunt. At last in despera- tion he purloins set of molars be- longing to his prospective mother-in- law and of course many complications arise. The girl cannot understand the '.installment plan" proposal and as usual in complicated cases the mother refuses to understand anything The rival is greatly pleased with the whole affair and begins to rush his suit along.
 The missing molars are found by the boatsvain and are put up for auc- ton for the benefit of indigent sea- men, The rival bids high, thinking them to be those of his prospective nlother-in-law and it is not until the bids have reached many hundreds of dollars that the teeth are sold. Ev- es-ything seems to be in an inextricable condition which causes a veritable gale of laughter from the audience and still more embarrassment for Billy. But eventually everything turns out las it should for all concerned.
