scalp in this campaign. A few days
ago they began TO charge Beveridge
with having been largely instrumental

bill, which proposed to give every civil
war veteran a pension Of dollar

OF the old soldiers published at Wash

porters Of the bill to do SO. that when
he had finished his speech the time al

expired and il could only be extended
by unanimous consent Of the Senators.
When the unanimous consent was
asked one senator raised q point Of
order and this settled the fate of tho

result was that the bill died, and the
old soldiers declare that Beveridge was
to blame for it.

strikes might take place, but if they did. they were ordered by the consid- cred action of each craft involved.
 The autonomous system had it friends and proved very influential in creating a strong union movement. Nevertheless the system has always had it's opponents in the labor move ment. who have asserted, that the au- tonomous plan was not adapted to the complete tieup of the particular in. dustry against which strike might be directed.
 The meeting which is to be held in- dicates, apparently, that the metal workers, and more especially the ma chinists, have become convert to the latter view, and believe that direct action" will be more effective when it combines the efforts of all the crafts in an industry.
 It is a revolutionary change. and one which tends to place the unions of America upon a plane of organize tion similar to the prevailing type in Europe.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-26

A meeting of workers in the metal trades has been caiied for this even- ing. The a9emblase will probably attract little attention among those not directly concerned in it. but it marks change important in the la bor movement in Bridgeport and the country. It is . departure from the form of organization which has been dominant In America since the dis ruption of the Knights of Labor, whose form of union was either ahead of the times. or not adapted to the use of workers in the United States. The American Federation was formed. loosely speaking. after the system suggested in the constitution of tho United States. Trade autonomy was the distinct feature of it's plan. The Federation held. and holds position of dominance over it's units. which nevertheless leaves the separate trades to . large extent the shaper of their owA fortunes.

POVERTY'S SAD RESULT

In q recent speech made before the Congress of Mothers at Middletown. Prof. W. B. Bailey of Yale Univer- sity. considered the evils growing out of bad housing and bad work rooms.
 His visws were expressed as fol. loWD:
 "Although the evils of bad housing and unsanitary workrooms are res- ponsible for many of the evils of Am- eriean society. I am convinced that one Of the greatest dangers which confront the young men and women of this country b to be found in the u,isuso of leisure. The hours which should be spent in relaxation and eane recreation ere too often given up to practices which leave tho body ana mind in worss condition than be- fore the snjoymeat of the so-called reeroation.

ities work experience in this city do not share the mayors views. They believe that the charities department has been disorg anized, instead of re- constructed, rightly perceiving that the so-called reconstruction is an in- suit to every private charities organ ization in Bridgeport.
 The administration desires to build up machine whose units will know none but it. Tis an excellent way to insure a continuance of the political dynasty which the mayor represents.
 The Charities department has been thoroughly reconstructed for po- litical purposes. but disorganized for the work which is laid upon it to do. Does the end warrant the means?

SOURCES OF ENERGY

What has become of the baneful prophecy. once so popular, of the ruined nations that would succeed an exhausted coal supply? The logic of events has overwhelmed such croak- ing prophets With an available water power of se.ooo.oo0 horse power at . minimum. and more. to be had if 1t Is really wanted. we know that coal Is useful, but not necessary. And account must be taken of the inter- nal combustion engine by use of which coal reaches may be nightly econo- mixed, and which may be run on al- cohol taken from any number of growing things. not to mention acety- lene gas. The sources of inter plan- etary power are yet Untouched, but

1t Is no more hazardous to assume that they will be tapped. than it would have been to predict a 3o,000 k. W. dy- namo. 50 years ago. A possibility as source of useful energy is tho atom, which physicists will some time disintegrate, releasing such mighty forces as have not yet been commanded by men. The radium investigations foreshadow such a dis. covery. We need not fear the ex. haustion of coal deposits. Long be- fore that time arrives coal will not be needed.
 Let us turn our attention to the best means of securing coal at a price which does not include usurious prof its for railroads and middlemen.

NICHOLS WILL DISPOSES
 OF BLACK ROCK ESTATE

An estate of much value Is disposed of in the will of Francis D. Nichols, which has been admitted to probate to-day by Judge Hallen. Robert F. Nichols, brother. was named as ex- ecutor. A codfcil is attached to the will changing the original bequests. John Church Frasier of Greenwich, d friend of the testator. Is left $1,0o0, as a token of my grateful esteem In the original will MT. Frasier was left a diamond ring and a stick pin. Pres colt Nichols, Q nephew, is left land and two houses located in Fairfield avenue and Robert P.

What t>ay want is a decent place In which to meet. If they cannot have . meeting place which is properly su- ,pervised they will meet where there Is no such supervision. am con- vinced that the greatest social need of this country at the present time is proper opportunity for the use of lei sure for those who do not enjoy the advantages of proper home surround ings. They have the same desire for love and laughter as those in better circumstances and it is a duty which this country owes to its young peo- pie to see that better provision is made for its satisfaction. Here is the opportunity for the settlemen, house and the church."
 Poverty is at the bottom of the conditions of which Prof. Bailey complains. The remedy, and the only one we fear, that will be in any large way remedial, must consist in creating social and economic condi- tions under which poverty will not exist. Church homes and settlement houses may alleviate, but cannot heal. Reformers must face the truth that our social and economic conditions make a home impossible to hundreds of thousands of families. Yet the people who occupy these places are Independent workers, who will seek and pay for their own amusements. and will not, for the most part, avail themselves of institutions to which the taint of charity attaches.
