COMPENSATION COMMISSION
 MET IN NEW HAVEN
Blanket Certificates of soIvency and Financial Ability to Cover State, Counties, Cities. Towns, School Dis tricts.


 Dr. P. J. Donohue of this city met with the other members of the Work mems Compensation committee at the office of Commissioner Talcott H. Rus sell in New Haven on Saturday after noon, Messrs. Williams of Waterbury, Buckingham of Bridgeport and Chand- Ter of Hartford all being in attend ance.
 The board decided Saturday, in view of the fact that there could be no doubt of the ability of the state and it's va rious governmental agencies to re- spond direct to the demands of the compensation law, and that they could take judicial notice of such financial condition and consider information which had come to them from various sources as well, to issue through tho several commissioners, blanket certi- ficates of solvency and financial abil- ity. These certificates will cover the following public bodies. The state of Connecticut all counties, cities. bOr- oughs, towns. school districts, and other municipal corporations within the state, and all institutions support ed entirely by the state or by any county or municipal corporation and created and maintained to serve pub lie purposes.
 The commission. in statement, says: This action is taken to save the rights of any public bodies which may prefer to leave the matter in this shape or which may, through inadvertence or misunderstanding on the part of the officials fail to establish their financial condition in the manner prescribed in section of part B of the act. That section provides that employers who do not file a bond or insure shall fur nish to the commissioners sarisractory proof of his solvency and financial ab1l- ity to pay directly to injured em- ployes or other beHefciaries the com pensation provided by this act
 The commissioners do not wish in any way to discourage literal compli ance with this section and will of course receive proofs in the manner prescribed in the act from any public official who feels safer to comply lit orally with the section or who for any other reason prefers to do so The responsibility in this matter must lie with the employer affected
 Beseqed with Questions.
 The commissioners are finding them selves being questioned on the new law by streams of people coming to their offices ani by many others on the streets and in a large number of these cases the commissioners con- sider that the individuals should con- suit their own attorneys.
 The commissioners try to advise in the direction of caution and to get positions that will protect in any emer gency that may arise. In presenting questions the commissioners believe, that Of each specific question a care full study on the part of people ven- turing opinions, and that there should be a consideration of particular cir cumstances, a study of our own law, and reading of precedents in the light of various acts under which precedents have been established There Is lit tie use in raising a multiple of ques- tions unless the opportunity is given to run them down and get the true answers"

WATCH THE. NEWSPAPERS
 MIR. DEALER

Watch the newspapers for ad- Vertising of national products.
 And when you see some article being intelligently explained to the public through a live daily newspaper like The Bulletin make up your mind there is go- ing to be a demand.
 The market is ripe. It is the time for action. Make your own counters suggestive. Make your windows talk.
 Cooperate with the manufac- turer who is making customers for you by letting the public know you can show the goods.
 You will be surprised the way your sales will jump.
 But better even than building sales. yoa will be building repu- tation.
 You will be hammering home the fact that yours is a store where people can get what they like and will like what they get.

This is exactly what free trade
will do. 1t cannot operate 9TH
erwise. Then we cannot see how
our laboring classes of white or
colored are to be helped by a tar
iff law that takes away from
them employment, so that they
cannot bay the imported prod
ucts even if they are cheaper
In the same proportion that their
employment is decreased, in the
same proportion their means to
buy what they need for their
families will be diminished, So
for the life of us we cannot See
how Tree trade is to help this
country. 1t will help the coun-
tries that can send their products
to our country duty free, but it
will inevitably hurt our country
by destroying American manu-
factures and turning American
labor out of employment. Free
trade is not a Republican policy.
1t destroys the home market and
builds up the foreign market. Ii
turns home labor out of work
and gives work to foreign labor.
A protective tariff protects the
home manufacturers and the
home markets for home labor,
and a free-trade tariff protects

Will Continue to Fix
Prices.

Free trade England has enor
nous trusts. The new tariff law
will not disturb trust corpora
tions and combinations. 1t will
strengthen them at the expense
of the Independents. The big
and powerful organization can
weather a gale that would wreck
the little fellow. Meat will still
be in the hands of the meat COM
hination, sugar in the hands of
the Sugar Trust. They will con-
tinue to fix prices. And as for
clothing made out of wool in
what particular is the purchaser
to benefit by the greatly reduced
prices? Something over three
yards Of cloth goes into the suit
of the average business man.
Even if the purchaser got the
full benefit of the reduction, how
much would he save? Not over
so cents on a $40 to $50 suit, ex
