The Coming Tire

When a tire suddenly jumps
to the topmost place, after
years of comparison, it means
that its claims are proved.
When a tire trebles its sales
in a single year, after 100000

that men want that tire.

Fire Destroys
 Big Ice House In New Haven
StOrehouSe of the Elm City Ice Co. Burned to Ground
 Work of Incend.ary

New Haven. Jan. 1s-The great ice house of the Elm City Ice Company in Westville was destroyed by fire which was discovered at 1:30 this morning. The fire started at that end of the ice house opposite the engine room and that fact gives rise to the belief that it was of incendiary origin. Between 5000 and 1000 tons of ice were stored in the ice house. The loss will be between $15.00O and $2o.0O0
 Benjamin F. Milner, secretary and treasurer of the Elm City Ice com pany, said this morning that he had expected to complete his harvest of the present crop of ice today. The capacity of the house destroyed is i,- 900 tons and there was almost that amount inside this morning when the fire was discovered The building "was fully insured but there was no i'm surance on the ice.
 An alarm was turned into the West vile fire department by the watch man at the ice house but the fire spread quickly and the building was a mass of flames when the apparatus arrived at the scene.
 This year and last year Manager Nilner has been the first Of the season 70 harvest his crop. The fire this morning has practically laid at waste the efforts of the past week.
 At 2:30 the fire had practically burned itself out and the only thing left was the engine room. The rest of the building and all of the ice had been destroyed.

PROF. FISHERS CRITICISM OF GOVERNOR BALDWIN

Tn the dramatically bitter denun- eIa4ion of Governor Simeon P. Bald win which Mayor Willard c.

 The duplicate of this position, al- most to the very language of the war -ring. statesmsn. is found in the rela- taons between President Taft and Senator LAFoIlette.
 AS F19aer says that Baldwin Is a rsactionary and a hundred years be- hind the times, so LaFollette says that Taft ts antiquated and Q century be- hind the political thought of today.

THE FEDERAL EMPLOYERS LIBAnlTY LAW

The action of the Supreme court in sustaining the employers liability law, adopted by Congress in 1908. puts the Federal court in line with the more progressive state courts, which have affirmed the constitutionality of simi- lar laws within state Jurisdiction.
 The federal law was formerly like that prevailing in Connecticut. An empIoye entering any industry took all the risks of the business, all the riak of being injured by the act of q fellow servant, and could have no re- covery, even where the employer was negligent, if he contributed to his in jury by negligence of his own
 The Federal statute applies only to employes in interstate commerce.

 The court may consider the neg Ngence of the employe, if there was any. but only in mitigation of dam ages. The theory of the statute is that if the injury was partly the fault ages. or damages in the degree that his own carelessness is deemed to have contributed to bring about his hurt.
 A number of cases were brought, under the Federal statute. in State Courts. The state courts, including the Supreme court of this state. re- fused to take Jurisdiction, asserting that state laws should prevail.
 The Federal Supreme Court sets aside this doctrine, and finds that the law is as binding upon the courts of the several states as if made by the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-01-18

, legislatures of those states.
 The benefit to industry and to the workers cannot but be large. The barbarous and antiquated state laws governing the relations of master and servant cannot exist side by side with a modern, humane statute like the Federal law.
 No state will long tolerate the spec tacle of relief for employees in inter state commerce in the same court which denies relief to workers whose occupa ton keeps them within a state.
 The further result of this decision modern and just acts for workmen's s compensation, great insurance schemes, under which the injured worker, or his dependents if he is killed, will be compensated swiftly and certainly, not upon the legal theory that an employer has destroy ed a life for which he shoulder can-pay. but upon the theory that modern industry involves certain special risks to individuals, and that the we'll being of the state requires the care of wounded workers, or of their dependents to be a charge against the industry.
 The system of workmens' com pensation has been adopted by most civilized countries. It is probable that no country as yet has a measure that is entirely just to the workers, but a moderately good compensation law is better for workers and masters than a system of legal gambling in which the worker seeks to get damages and the employers to avoid paying them, while both pay the heavy expenses of litigation.

BRISTOL'S VOTE

Tn the special election held yester- day, the voters of Connecticut's baby city, Bristol. determined by an over whelming majority to own their own waterworks, which means, in this case, that Bristol must purchase the plant of the private company.
 The resolution for purchase was car ried by a majority of AIS on a total Of se2
 - this decision Bristol determines to join it's sister cities. Hartford, Wa terbury, Meriden, New Britain, Mid dletown, Norwich, Danbury and New London, all of which own their own water supplies, Bridgeport and New Haven being the only cities of import ance in Connecticut whose water is in private hands.
 That the people of Bristol did their own thinking is shown by the circum- stance that the Bristol Press, one of the strongest and best edited news papers in it's section of the State, op- posed municipal ownership with much subtlety and ability.
 The question of municipal ownership had reached an acute stage in Bristol much as 1t has in Bridgeport. The voters have for a long time desired to engage in municipal ownership ol their water supply. but by one method and another reactionary politicians prevented.
 The result, in close analogy to Bridgeport again, was a rebellion of the voters displayed there in large vote for George M. Hull. a Socialist candidate for Mayor.
 The result in Bristol was hastened by the Torrington typhoid epidemic The voters of Bristol believed that their water would be safer in their own hands than in the possession of private persons, whose first desire would be to make profits for them selves, rather than safeguard the health of the people.

Statement Made Known to Connecti-

Hartford, Jan. 1S.-That the era of the $1,OO0 COW has arrived was made known at the annual convention here of the Connecticut Dairymen's as- sociatton- President Warren G. Da- wis, of Norwich, in his address, said that the past year had been disas- trous one for successful dairying in this state, owing to the drought. Tell ing of a 2OO-mile trip through this state, President Davis said he saw on- ly five clover patches in his tour. He advocated the growing of clover and alfalfa. He was in favor of a dairy counsellor and dairy testing associa- tions.
 Professor SeeIey, of Amherst. he said had talked of the $1,O00 COW a few years ago, now the dairymen are talking of the $1,OOO COW and in the opinion of the president ''she is going to be worth it."
