STABLE OF LOBBYISTS
 KEPT TO BEAT WATER
 BILL SAYS LYNN WILSON
House Responds to His Appeal to Free Bridge port from The Shameful Bondage of
 The Lobby

of a. prophet, but when the gentleman from Fairfield got himself upon the committee on Cities and Boroughs, and when the city of Bridgeport was left what sort of a report would be brought in by him upon this bill.
 And when, Mr. Speaker, there ap- peared in this building an assorted lot of lobbyists, of all sizes, ages and col ors, except that they were all of the male sex, and when I found the views of the gentleman from Fairfield were in such exact accord with the views of all these men of the lobby, knew, and other men here knew. what would happen to the Bridgeport water bill.
 For seven years Bridgeport has been seeking this legislation. It has been asking to take this company by right of eminent domain. It has been asking to use the same power against the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company which it uses so freely against the property of any citizen when 1t wants that property.
 For seven years the legisla ton has been denied to Bridgeport. And now the chief proponent of that company, who Is in railroads, trolleys, gas and water, has attempted to make himself the city government of Bridgeport. He keeps a stable of lobbyists. He sends the whole stable full up here, and they hang about in the corridors. They occupy the best seats. They poster the members of committees. They wine and dine those who will eat and drink with them. They whis- per a fa1sehood into this members ear. They pour poison into that member'sl mind. They are reckless, dangerous, and injurious to the State. They fight against their own city. They islander the citizens of their own com munity. There is no health in them. What other methods they use do not know. But you members of this House know what other methods mem bers of the lobby do use. The gen. tleman from Fairfield knows, also
 Representative Wilson then asked the House to free Bridgeport from the shameful bondage of the lobby, and from the remarkable and unexp1ain- able activities of the gentleman from Fairfield.
 Fearing, apparently, the effects of further discussion, Representative Evarts of Milford moved the previous question, which had the effect of shut ting off debate
 The House responded to Representa- tive wiEson's invitation by voting 1O6 to 96 to reject: the report of the com rafftee and to accept the bill.
 Idr. 9FIea1y, of Windsor Locks moved that the. bill be tabled for calendar and printing. It was so ordered by vive voce vote. MT. Wilson doubted the vote. Speaker Webster said: 'sThe l doubt comes boo late, the vote has been dec1ared.'' .@. MT. wilson asked: 'swhen shall a vote be doubted. If not after it fs de-| o1ared How can a. vote be doubted before it is declared?.
 The Speaker receded from his posi- | ton.
 In view of the fact that 1t would require two-fhirds vote to pass the bill without the preliminary process of

 ulate hours> of labor, days of labor places of labor, and compensation to injured employees, or to those who came after them, or, instead, shall we look to the national legislature for proper national Legislation on these subjects?

 The great railways, steamship lines. and manufacturing and distributing corporations all do interstate busi- ness. Millions of men and women are engaged with the railways. the steam ship lines, the steel companies, the wholesale stores, and the great nnariJ- featuring industries Of the country. Many of these employees work twelve hours day, and seven days a week, while many other worthy citizens find it difficult to get any work at all, so uneven1y is work distributed. Wonn- en and children work hopelessly long days, and too many of them, while other women or children are unable to get any work, because of this un- equal distribution. Tn many places the working conditions are unsafe and unsanftary, while in others they are good T
 Is it not plain that all these employ CTS and these laborers should have some more uniform and just rule of law to govern their relations to- each other and to their work? Should it not be possible to- take all the model laws and from them frame a national act that will cover the permissible hours and days of labor for men, wom- en and children, the permissible sani- tary conditions for them, the per1nis- s1b1e conditions for them as to safety, and that will prescribe what compan- sat1on shall be received by them in case of injury, or by those who come after them in case Of their death?

The stirring words of President. Will sons inaugural, pointed out the ''hu- man cost of our industrial achieve ments and urged that:
 There can be no equality of oppor- tunity, the first essential of justice in the body polite, if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the con sequences of great industrial and so- ciaI processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with san itary laws, pure food laws, and laws determining conditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determine for themselves, are intimate parts of the very business of justice and legal efficiency
 Can the national government, through its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce, remedy the conditions the president describes The first great decision of the supreme court construfng that power broadly came in 1924 After hearing the argu- ment of Daniel Webster the court de- nied the authority of New York State on the Hudson River to stearnboa1s built under Fu1ton's patents.
 Then came long list of decisions holding that vessels, crews, bridges, railways, engines, cars, passengers, freight, rates, safety appliances, tela- graph lines, hours or laDOr ana enf- p1oyers' liability, are subject to na- tiona1 regulation where interstate com- merce is involved.
 Broad definition of 'tcommerce'' has been followed more recently by deci- sions that the power to regulate may cover the prohibition of evil. The law against interstate commerce and lottery tickets, by mail or otherwise, was upheld and now the Mann Act the importatfon of white slaves from one State to another has been declared constitutional.
 In upho1ding the employers, liability act the court quoted the significant language of Solicitor General Bowers that Congress may 1egislate about the agents and instruments of interstate commerce and the conditions under which they work, whenever such legis- lation bears upon the reliability, promptness, economy, security sor uti1- ity of the interstate commerce act.
 What application shall we make of these settled rules of law. in dealing with the conditions brought so forci- bly, to our attention by President Will

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

BY BLANCHE BEACON
The "Mother" of All the Facial Nerves

Tn my touring about the world I have heard many women tell their se- crets of 1ove1iness
 Every woman has one or two secrets of beauty you know and practical hints which can be adapted to the use Of each of us, no matter how busy or how strenuous our lives.
 It concerns the eighth nerve, which is about a quarter of an inch in front of and slightly beneath the ears It Is the largest and is the s'mother' of all the other facial nerves The countless others that radiate from tt are merely its children: it controls them all and they obey It. ''AIl OrIen- tai women know this.'' I was told and lazy, they do not trouble to massage the rest of the face.
 Why do so when it is not necessary? |? They place the tips of the second and third fingers upon the nerve and with rotary motion massage it two or three seconds They press the ftra- gers lightly upon the nerves and mas sage them in ever enlarging circles outward and downward away from the ears. If woman does nothing else for the preservation of her beauty, this is enough. She should do this several times a day. It will keep her muscles firm and her skin smooth, it is the key to beauty said the Oril enta1 woman who told me this. The muscles of the face are controlled in two ways; by electricity and by the great facial or eighth nerve. It would be, indeed, a most restful habit to lightly massage that nerve once, twice even five or six times a day and the woman who does this will never have an aged face.
 Stand before your mirror and seel that you massage this nerve properly, and to do So you will want some good skin rood. The one I am writing here Is the best one know.
 This skin food is used by nearly all beauty specialists and time and use has shown 1t is much the best oint- ment for preserving and softening the skin: White Wax ....... One-half ounce

 Hartford, May Zone of the most spectacular encounters of the session, was that of yesterday, when Repre- sentative C1ftus H. King of Fairfield, and Representa- Lynn w Wilson of Bridgeport, clashed over the report of the committee on Cities and Bor- oughs, on the Bridgeport Water bill. Representative King is chairman of this committee, although he does not represent a city. He was made chair man at the beginning of the session, through the mysterious intervention of persons unknown, and Bridgeport. the second city in the State, was left without representation.
 Behind the committee report was the House machine'., a strong conbina- ton, and one that is seldom beaten. heavy lobby, which had been main tained in Hartford since the beginning of the session especially to beat the Bridgeport water bill
 Three members of this lobby had taken front seats in the House, for the purpose of seeing their work slide on greased ways to the death of the ridgeport bill.
 In order to make the way easier the committee on Cities and Boroughs, under the placid direction of the ex- ce1lent MT. King, had arranged to re- 
 which the representatives from Bridge port were interested, all unfavorably.
 The first was bill reducing fares toS persons who are not provided with seats on trolley cars.
 The second was a bill introduced by Represents tive sAcMurray of Bridge port, giving the citizens a veto over the actions of their Common Cos1n- cil
 The third was the Bridgeport water bill.
 This was in the form of an amend ment to the general statute under which any city or town may acquire gas or electric light plants.
 Representative wilson's bill proposed to add water plants, so that the same procedure would suffice to take them
 Repr presentative King said that this legislation, to take water, ought to be special legislation. He said that all sorts of things would happen if water companies were to be condemned in the same way as gas and electric light companies. He said that the time was coming when somebody would have to divide the water of the State among the towns of the State This~ was the subs stance of his defense of the measure.
 Representative Wilson said: 'sMr. Speaker, the gentleman from Fair field, who by some mysterious process1 is chairman of the committee on Cit ies and Boroughs, to which no man from Bridgeport has been appointed, says that this proposition to acquire the water works in Bridgeport should be in the form of special legislation. [ say to you that there is pending before his committee, just such a spe- cfa1 bill After he gets this general bill put out of the way, he will oorne in with the special bill and he will say to you that the most dangerous l.
