CONSUMERS LEAGUES WORK.
Plan For AmeIioratien of Labor Con, ditions For Wase-Earnins Womer and Children in State.

The Consumers League of Conneeti- cut has issued leafiet setting forth a plan toward ameliorating the condi . uons of labor for wage earning women and children in this state. The pamphlet states that as late as 1909 women and children used to work up to o'clock at night in factories of the state during rush seasons. There are no complaints of this now.
 The league undertook to promote interest throughout the state in part time schools of housekeeping and salesmanship for working girls from October, 1913, to May, 1914. The pro gress of such interest is evident in a part time school for factory girls in Hartford, established January, 1914, a time school for sales-girls in Wa terbury, established September, 1914; a domestic science school in Putnam, established September, 1914 Educa- tonal conventions have been called, in New Haven, in 1910; in Waterbury in 1913, the programme attracting the attention of men from the Russell Sage Foundataion and Pratt Institute who attended, the grammar schools clos ing that teachers might attend and the evening school closing that men and boys might attend; one to be call ed in 1915.

FOR TOWN AND CITY CONSOLIDATION
Meeting of Heads of City Departments be Called by En- gneer Pitcher Go Over Charters of Other Cities Pre- paratory to Presenting Bill in Legislature Business Men Have Subscribed Money and Interest and Support is Shown

consolidation. Several business men of the city have subscribed enough money to pay for a considerable part of the expense of preparing and print ing the new charter. and MT. Pitcher says that he is willing to give his time to looking up statistics. The consoii- dation is favored by people both out side and inside the city limits, but the majority seem to be outside How ever, there are several concerns out side the city who are against the plan and 1t was stated that one of them since the advertising of the petition has sent an agent to see the repre- sentatives in an effort to head off the matter. The chief difficulty here, City Engineer Pitcher says, is that the con- cern does not understand the proposi- uon, for as far as the rate of taxation is concerned it will be decreased in stead of being increased.
 The question of consolidation has been before Norwich for the last 20 years and it has always been turned down because the people haven't un- derstood the difference between con- solidation and annexation, the city en- giaeer said. In annexation, as in the case of Sunnyside, the annexed dis trict comes into the city and pays the same tax regardless of privileges. but in consolidation the taxes are accord ing to the privileges received. Some cities have two rtaes, others three rates, and it might be feasible in Nor wfch to have as many as five rates of taxation to eqializa the payment for what is received. 1t will not be diff cult to fix the zones or dividing lines between the taxation districts.

A meeting of the heads of depart ments of the city will be called in a short time by City Engineer George E. Pitcher. who returned on Sunday from Chicago, to renew the matter of con solidating the city and town of Nor wich. The meeting may possibly be held this week, or on account of the holidays not until next week. and at 1t the officials will perlse the several charters Of various cities already con solidated in this state, among the dozen or more being Bridgeport New will endeavor to frame a charter that may be fitted to the needs of Norwich. The petition to the legislature has been advertised, and following the usual course of events it will be re- ferred to the committee on cities and boroughs for a hearing that may come in February and at any rate in March. Before that date, there will be ample time to adopt or frame a charter that shall meet the requirements and be approved by the citizens.
 Two years ago, when a similar plan was on foot for consolidation, and put in the form of an amendment to the city charter, 1t was found that too lit- tie publicity was given. for the petition should have been published three weeks prior to the meeting of the general assembly. This year ample leeway has been provided by advertis- ing as early as the last week in No- Yember.
 City Engineer Pitcher said Monday that he is surprised at the people who have expressed themselves in favor of

Civil service reform is rolling on- ward and even though hypocrites are behind it they are paying the same kind of compliment hyprocisy is said to pay to virtue declared William H.

TELEPHONE LiNEMEN BACK

For I've Weeks Going From This End of State Has Been Putting Things
 Go Rights.

Southern New England lfnenden from New Lcrdou and this city are back home again this week from the areas where the storm of several weeks ago proved particularly disastrous to tel tphog1e and telegraph wires. Since the shop two weeks ago Tuesday they had been putting up at formhouses and have slept or tried to sleep in all sorts of beds, from those crowned with feathers to the kind made of corn huslSs. None had time to pack suit cases when they went away and all wore growths of beard which made them hardly recognizable and testi- fled to their existing in a barberless section of the country.
 The New London county gang start ed in Colchester and worked through that town and Lebanon until it met the New Britain gang. When it start- ed working the New Londoner5 fol- lowed the trail of a sleet storm which old HaeIaen said, was the worst they had ever experienced. The fee was So heavy on the poles that the climbers would not penetrate 1t enough to give the spurs a hold in the wood. The lineI1ten had to chop ice from poles in order to climb up to put back the wires, which had been blown from the cross trees.
 After leaving Norwich on the Col chester turnpike two weeks ago the gang encountered for it's first task q row of 19 poles in succession laid low by the clements. The pole gang had not been gotten out and the Iinemen could not reset the poles so they acted on orders and strung wires along the tops of trees and bushes for the pole gang to lift up after the broken poles have been replaced.
 Wires that remained suspended were coated with ice so thick in places that ono lineman took up a steel tape to measure the ice. The coating of ice around the wire where he measured was five inches in cir conference
 Working toward East Hampton the New London Hnemen came to the New York and Boston trunk line which was blown down two weeks ago. On this line for the distance of mile SO wires and every pole had been ttlrnbled over into the road. Not a single wire was left that Monday night to connect Boston and New York.
 The care of these lines is up to the American Telephone and Telegraph Co, and it's men are now at work in the field, although the Southern New England men replaced the wires.
