PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION
Mfdddetown SUM


The Bridgeport Telegram yesterday
had a very sensible editorial ON "The
Protection 3of Prosperity" The p11r-
port of it was that while Furnishing
wrong doors care should be exercised
that good and honorable men who con
duct business in a, legitimate manner
are not hurt 1t will be a delicate task
there is so much interIocl1ing of in
tereSts If, for instance there is a
coal trust, which controls both mines
and transportation, which owns coal
pockets and yards in large cities;
which stores vast amounts of coal for
the purpose of withholding it from the
market, which in short attempts to
regulate. prices to suit it's own sweet
will regardless of the output, the ac-
tua1 cost of mining coal, and the needs
of the people, it will be seen at once
that all who deal in coal and sell tsy
There may be honest coal dealers,
just as there are honest ice mdn
plumbers, and undertakers but the
public needs to be assured that in Civ
ing protection to them, those who are
forced to seek their wares are not also
made to suffer by reason of the rami-
ficationS of the trust or combine.
When the public is assured that the
tentacles of the octopus have been
cut, and trade and competition is free,
and there is no more cold storage, no
more corners. no more holding up
the market, then prosperity will need
little protection for it will be able to

who is honest, temperate and indus
triouS, is entitled to a slice of pros
yperity. The trouEbIe heretofore has
been that few have been protected
at the expense of the many.

SIX GOVERNORS TO CONFER
New Britain Herald.

Mr.. Mellon has been urging team
work on the part of the New England
states looking to the betterment OF
transportation conditions. He will get
his wish when the governors of the
six Yankee commemorative meet in
Boston Saturday to discuss the rail-
road situation. Whether the co-op-
Grafton will be of a kind which makes
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford the sole arbiter of New England s
transportation destiny, which seems to
be- Mr.. Mellen's idea of cooperation,
is doubtful
The governors conference is an un.,
usual procedure. But the present
railroad situation is critical and 5usti-
fies extraordinary action. The call.
ing together of governors for such
a conference had ITS precedent in
Roosevelt's summons of alI~the state
executives for concerted action on the
conservation question.
From this completely of issues there
may be outlined a plan of remedial
action that would not be possible by
each state working alone in its partie-
ular interest.
