MANUFACTU URERS OPPOSE CHANCE
 IN LABOR LAWS
Bridgeport Concern Repre- sented At Hearing La bor Interests Favor
 Changes.
Special to The Farmer.9

Hartford, March 25--Dec1aring that the time was tnoppoTtune for any changes in business conditions, mer- chants and manufacturers from many parts of the State appeared before the labor committee yesterday to oppose the bill affecting the working hours of women and children. Miss Mary c. We1les of Newington spoke for the bill as did Julius Stremlau, representing the Stated Federation of Labor
 Among those who opposed the meas ure were James A. Marr, representing A. Henkels & Co. of Bridgeport. He said to change the working hours now would mean an increase in the cost of living. This is an inopportune time for a change, he said.
 George E. Crawford of Bridgeport president of the State Laundrymen' s association, also opposed the bill, as did former Senator William Brown of Bridgeport. The latter said women preferred to work nights and that no minors were employed by the, Union Metallic Cartridge Co, in whose inter- ests hes appeared.
 James G. Lud1un, representing the International Silver Co.'S Bridgeport factory. and E. l.. Graves, a eonfee- tioner of Bridgeport, also spoke in op- position The latter said that two of his employees had volunteered to ap- pear in opposition to the bill. Dwight Graves also opposed the bill.

should be inspired; the affections should be developed and guarded, and the environment be changed with in teresting and humane influences.
 Instead of that, the sanitarians are instilling into the minds of children that they are surrounded by billions of invisible. malignant germs;. that they Turk in the air they breathe; in the food they eat; in the water they drink Fear is one oe the most pow erfu1, depressing emotions of the hu- man mind. It's effects upon the body are more rapid and deadly, than any known poison.
 By lectures, circulars, pamphlets, school inspection and newspaper ad- tisements,, political doctors are spread ing fear-peace-destroying. health shattering fear-broadcast over the land. The shallow sanitarians have an unwholesorne, fantastica1 dread Of mi crobes but as the microbes Of fear have not been discovered, they ignore its real, sdemonstrable effects.
 "A penalty will come from this per nicious teaching as surely as the ris- ortic weak-nerved, hypochondriac, in sane people will come oft in this gen. eration, and especially in the next gen eration. Medical inspection of the chi1- drenl is based, no doubt, partly in sell fish desires and partly in a mistaken
 
 contrary to public policy, subverriye Of American principles, derogatory tc the best interests of the children and dangerous to the liberties of the peo- ple.''
 It is evident that the passage of leg is1ation which permits such evils tt occur should be vigorously opposed Centra1izing power and dictatoria1 au. thority in state boards, controlled b1 adherents of one school of medicine i. advocated by only a small body of DO litica1 doctors to exploit the opinion. and theories of the one school of med icaT practice.
 The public is not asking for this leg is1ation and parents may well talk, positive stands against it. The Com Inittee on Public Health and Safet, hold a public hearing on House BiI ST next Tuesday, March 30th, at 1:S p. m-

 Dog and Liquor Agent John Brown. of the Police department, who has ditions here since the outbreak of rabies in Bridgeport and nearby towns, said this afternoon he had been throughout the city today and had yet to find a single dog without a muzz1e-
 There are eight stray dogs inn pounded by Dog Warden George Hall But as these dogs have not a collar and license tag, it is impossible to check up their ownership, and to prosecute for failure to have them muzzled.
