RAILROADS MAY
 BE ALLOWED TO RAISE THEIR RATES

Washington, Dec. 19-High author ity makes for the positive statement that the railroads are to be allowed to increase their freight rates 5 per cent.
 This is true of the Eastern lines between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic coast and north of the Ohio river.
 A majority of the Interstate Com merce Commission is convinced of the necessity of doing something for the roads. The president has also taken up the question and personally analysed the reports of railroad earn ings and expenses.
 One of the railroad experts of the government went to the White House this week with statistics. He found President Wilson had worked out the figures for himself and knew more about them than the expert.
 The President was deeply concerned over the widespread report of poor business in many industries. He re- marked that railroads cannot order requisite rails, steel cars and improve ments unless they can earn the money to pay for them. With credit impair ed, they cannot borrow.
 The decision as to rates rests with the Interstate Commerce Cornrnissi ions. They are not unanimous, but it has been decided to hasten the hearings and the decision, and this in itself in drcates that the commissi toners are
 going to let up the railroads a lfttle'' for the sake. of general pros perity, as one of them expressed it.

CYCLECAR NOVELTY OF NY. AUTO SHOW

One of the most interesting exhibits that will be shown at the National Autorno bile Show. under the auspices of the Autonobi1e Chamber of Com merce, which will open in Grand Cen tral Palace, New York, Jan. and continue until Jan. 10, will be cycle cars.
 The cyc1ecars are miniature auto mobiles reduced to simple form. They weigh about 700 pounds and are fitted with light motors. In appearance and construction they are similar to auto mobiles.
 A movement is on foot among cycle car makers to form an organization to develope the industry. If plans are carried out, there will be a meeting of manufacturers in that city during the week of the show.
 As yet, the cyc1ecar industry is in swadd1ing clothes. The coming ex- hibition will be the first of its kind ever held in this country. Not only will complete cars and their practica- bility for travel be shown, but there will be a. display of the parts, motors and accessories for this type of veni- cle.
 In all, there will be forty eight ex- hibitors at the automobile show, and of this number three will present com plete cyclecar exhibits.
 -Cyclecar manufacture is to be one of Bridgeports industries as announe- ed recently in these columns.

 Amount of State Aid.

The local community furnishes the building and one-ha,lf- the cost of equipment and maintenance, while the State pays the other half of the cost, the amount not to exceed $1O,00O in any given year for any one school The school must be officially approved by the State Board of Education be- fore it can receive any money. The sum of $8O.0O0 has been auth orized by lawSfor the year. Tn brief says MT. Carris, summing up the plan, "the State will give money for the equip ment and maintenance of approved vocational schools on a dollar-for-dol- lar basis, in proportion to the amount spent by the local community out of funds raised by local taxation to the amount of $1OsOOO annually
 The New Jersey authorities are particularly insistent that vocational schools shall be established only after a community has given careful con- sideration to it's vocational needs. 4: list of questions is suggested. by means of which the local community can find out, first, whether the industrial needs of the neighborhood- demand better vocational facilities; and second, just what type of schoo1s-day, evening. or part-time-may be necessary to meet local requirements.

BEAR THIS IN MIND

True wives are faithful to their husbands. True Bridge porters are faithful to Bridgeport. Be faithful to your home town. Spend your money where you make it. Help along the place where you live. That's the way to improve it. That's the way to make it a better place to
 lice. The better the place,
 the more contented you will
 be; and contentment is a
 pearl of great price.
 Contentment does not
 mean stagnation. Only apathy causes slime on Ehe
 pond of life. Bridgeport
 wants no apathy It wants the live, healthy interest of
 everyone who resides within its borders. That interest should include the mer- chants who are among the most active ''boosters" for Bridgeport. You can help them to help you by FAITH FULNESS TO THE BRIDGE PORT STORES.

STATE MONEY FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS
 IN NEW JERSEY.

Definite State aid for vocational schools is a part of New Jerseys new provision for industrial education, as enacted by the, 1913 legislature and outlined in a bulletin issued by the New Jersey Board Of Education. Off, fcia1s of the United States Bureau of Education who have examined the plan say it represents one of the best beginnings yet made toward adequate vocational training by the State. The New Jersey work is under the direc- ton of l.. H. Carris, whom Commits sioner Kendall designated as deputy commissioner in charge of vocational education. t
 A Practical Arrangement.
 The New Jersey plan provides that any school district, whether city, town township, or borough, as well as any county, may start vocational schools Separate schools may be organized, or departments established in existing schools, according to local convent ence. The thorough practicalness of the plan may be seen from the recom- nendations for efficient members of advisory boards for the vocational schools: If the training is for the in dustries. then two of the mem bers are to be an mp1oyer and an errploye re- spective1y, representing distinct trades or occupations. Where the school is one that trains for home duties, it is suggested that the nemb bers shall be persons tswho have had actual experi- ence in the occupations carried on in the household, as mistress of a home, houSe-daughter, or housekeeper'' Similarly, an advisory board for an agricultural vocational school is ex- pected to have as members at least three successful farmers of the

MINISTER MAKES PLEA IN
BEHALF OF IMMIGRANTS

An ardent plea for the foreigner
who comes to this country was made
last night by the Rev. Warren Patten
Coon, pastor of the Union Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, when he
spoke on 1.-The Man at the Gate, the
Immigrant" The minister urged that
the newcomer be given the advan-
tages of freedom and education which
were not possible in the country which
he left. To those who would put a
stop to immigration, he declared 1t
was necessary to show their sincerity
by taking care of the foreigners now
in our land.
The clergyman detailed the difficult
ties met with by the immigrant, who
is the prey of thieves from the mo-
ment he books his passage until he
reaches his friends. He also told how
families are separated at Ellis Island
when some members are sent back to
their native country and not allowed
to land here He decried the practise
of calling foreigners such names as
"Wap," Guinea" ''Dago," "Sheeney'
and "Chink.' particularly when some
of the greatest statesmen. musicians,
artists and other noted men are fur
nished from these races which are
ridiculed

NEEDN'T RESIGN
TO Be CANDIDATE
Lawyers Declare Governor
Fielder Can Retain Office and
Be Party Nominee.

Legal opinions on the question of
whether or not Governor Fielder
should resign his seat in the event of
receiving the Democratic gubernato-
rial nomination. which was raised by
the Governor himself, were sought to-
day from a dozen local lawyers The
majority of the attorneys were reti-
cent about the subject when asked to
speak for publication, but all agreed
that it was not necessary for Fielder
to resign in order to make the cam
paign for Governor.
Frederick L. Johnson, of the firm OF
Lehlbach G. johnson, declared that, in
his opinion, the Governor was not
obliged to resign, as he is in reality
only acting Governor to fill the unex-
PRED term of President Wilson. Mr..
Johnson declared there was q prece-
dent for this question in the action of
former Governor Foster NJ. Voorhees,,
who completed the unexpired term of
Governor John w. Griggs, when the
latter resigned to become United
States encouragement.
William M. Brown, of Brown &
Beecher, was also of the opinion that
Governor Fielder could be a candi-
date without violating the constitu-
ton, because the Governor does not
occupy mis- office by virtue of popular
vote. Other lawyers took the same
view, but refused to be quoted on the
subject. Not one of the legal lights
interviewed took the position that it
was necessary for Governor Fielder
to resign should he become the Demo-
cratic candidate for chief executive
of the State.

FOWLER'S PRESS AGENT
MAKES HIMSELF BUSY

Former Congressman Charles N.
Fowler, who is a candidate for Gov
ernor, made reply today to those who
wondered what transpired at the
meeting of the Republican County
Chairmen's Association in Trenton
last Thursday, SO far as he was con-
cerned.
He explained that he opposed any
attempt on the part of the associa-
ton to indorse candidate, as he be-
neved such action was meant to pc
eliminated with the advent of the prl-
mary law.
Mr.. Fowler claims as unwarranted
a statement published in q Trenton
newspaper, which said: 1.-The meeting
was called for the purpose of getting
the sentiment as to the candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination from
the various sections of the State. The
county chairman who compose the or
ganization made reports setting forth
the sentiment in their localities.
Later in the day it is likely that
statement will be issued. Former
Governor Edward c. Stokes will likely
be the informal choice for the guber-

Musse is now "a, and when he is
thirty he will come into possession

position he occupies when he learns
that he is heir to my fortune" the
will reads. Hence, he must continue

the Senatorial nomination in 1908,
why is it not a good thing for you
to appear upon the same platform,
before the same audiences, with the
man with whom you are eontesting
the gubernatorial nomination in 1913?
Are not things equal to the same
things equal to each other?"
I feel that you must be convinced
from what I have said, that 1t would
be to the advantage of the Progress
siye cause and for both candidates
to appear together, addressing the
same meetings throughout the State,
as 1 have proposed, and l repeat
my proposition that we campaign
jointly dividing the time and adj
dress meetings jointly In ell coun-
ties of the State. This plan will
have a decided advantage in reduc-
ing expenses to both of us, and will
save considerable money that will
lbe badly needed in the fall cam
ipaign against the old parties.
I hope to receive your acceptance
of my proposal at an early date.
Sincerely yours,

ONLY HOPE FOR BARRIERS
NOW LIES IN ARBITRATION

The BARRIERS strike in this city now
appears to be practically lost, and
with the majority of the barber
shops in the city open yesterday the
journeymen are now looking toward
arbitration as their only hope. A
meeting of the union has been called
for tomorrow night at New Union
Hall. at which the bosses will also
be present.
Although several of the shops were
picketed yesterday the picketing did
not afford any tangible results in the
way of bringing the employers to
terms, and arbitration is now being
anxiously sought by the officers Of
the union, among whom it is said all
is not in perfect harmony regarding
the management of the strike.
A report is expected at tomorrow
nights meeting from the arbitration
committee appointed at last Fridays
meeting of the Trades Council to see
what agreement could be made with
the bosses.
