has been sought by others, whose names and plans have not been given out by the former owner. Other places in the immediate locality nav ing railroad frontage have also been looked over and prices sought. 1t is believed that some manufacturing concern is desirous of locating in this section and the owners appear 10 be dealing cautiously, anticipating good offer for their places.
 In selling to the Meriden concern MT. Carter showed public spirit as usual and rather than see the town lose the business he made the sale as a low figure, making little, if any, profit on the deal.
 Employees Get Back Pay.
 Employes of the Trumbull Electric company may do their Christmas shopping this week with gladdened hearts, fattened pay envelopes dis tributed to them Saturday making it possible for them to purchase many things which they might have to go without had it not been for the action of the directors in advancing their wages and giving them back pax from October 1st on the new wage schedule.
 Fulfilling the promise made a few months ago when the employees pre- sented a petition for better wages md shorter working hours, the company has changed it's schedule of salaries and the men are now getting approx imately ten per cent. more than they were receiving under the old plar.
 The petition presented by the men was not in the nature of an ultima tum and the company's suggestion that owing to unsettled conditions it would be advisable to defer until later any change was accepted without complaint. The men now have cause to feel satisfied that their judgment in not forcing the issue at the time was sound as they secured substan- tial advances in pay without engen- dering any bitterness or losing money because of strikes.
 President Trumbull told them that as soon as the better-Wage agitation, which at the time was felt through out the country, developed to an eN- tent that would give the local concern some idea as to what other manufac- turers, their competitors particularly would do,, they would change the schedule and would make it effective from October 1st, the date named for an answer to the petition.
 The big boost in the payroll on Sat urday proved that the heads of the concern were sincere in their prom ises. While the factory is to be operated on a ten-hour schedule as in the past the increase in pay is said to be entirely satisfactory to the men.
 The action of the directors serves to bring closer together than they are at present, the employers and en- ployes and there is probably no fac tory in the state where the relations between the manufacturers and the help are so pleasant.
 Fund For Belgians.
 Plainville's contribution for the fund which Connecticut is raising for the relief of war stricken Belgium now totals $121, nearly $10O having been raised through collections in the various churches Sunday. Se- lectman Johnson reported today that he has forwarded a check to the state comm mittee in charge of the re- lief work and he expects that the town will rank well with other places

ENGLAND WANTS MEN 10 MAKE MUNITIONS
Lloyd George Appeals to Organ
 iZed Labor to Help Country

London, Dec. 21.-David Lloyd George, minister of munitions, gave an account of his stewardship in the House of Commons last night. Begln- ming with the oft-repeated story of the insufficiency of munitions Tn the early days of the war and the history Of the establishment of the depart ment to remedy this situation. the minister gradually warmed to his subject and reached the climax with the declaration that the success of the allies in the war depends on the attitude of organized labor-whether it will allow the government to re- cruit a sufficient number of skilled men for the factories which the mu- nitions department has brought into being.
 We want S0,00O skilled men and from 100000 to 3OO,0O0 unskilled men for these new factories" he said. We must reduce the proportion of our orders which go abroad, and develop our home resources. Upon the supply of labor depends I think, our success in this war.
 Organized Labor and Help.
 Upon this depends whether we Cdn reduce the cost or Cu0 war Dy scores of millions of pounds. Upon this depends whether we can supply our troops with the right sort of guns and enable them to make next years 8 success.
 Here only organized labor can help us. We have done our best to get skilled labor by the system of muni- lions volunteers. It is no use my going into the question of why we got only five or six thousand men, although that story may have to be told later.
 '"The whole question depends on organized labor. Unless it allows us to put unskilled workers on the work which hitherto has been the mono poly of skilled labor we cannot per- form this task. There can be only one appeal, to patriotism. Vic- tory depends on this. Hundreds of thousands of previous lives depend on labors answer
 Shortage in Munitions.
 Earlier in his speech, MT. Lloyd George admitted that there was bad shortage in the British munitions supply in the first year of the war, but declared that the present situa- ton was quite different matter. Last May the were turning out only 2,5O0 high explosive shells daily against the Germans quarter of million.
 Here is the situation now,'' he said: "The quantity of shells fired in the recent September operations was enormous. The battle lasted day., even weeks; yet there was no short age of shells. This was the result or four months careful husbanding. Yet we replaced the whole amount in month and hope soon to be in a pu~ sition to replace a like quantity in d week."
 Output of Guns.
 Without giving definite figures, the minister forecast the output of many guns Of the largest size and later declared that the output of machirc guns had increased five-fold since June, and the output of hand grenades forty-fold, while more trench mortars were produced every fortnight than in the entire first year of the war.
 Speaking for the Labor party, J. H. Thomas declared that organized labor would be found willing to follow wherever the minister of munitions led if their rights were properly guar anteed, and he suggested the passa ge of bill to this end

R. R. RATE
HEARING ON MAY IS
|. c. C. to Hear Protests Against
Railways and Express Com
panies Here.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
today set s-ay 10 as the date for formal
hearing Of the complaint of the Wash
ington Chamber Of Commerce, the Re-
tail Merchants Association, and 40 cor
porations. firms, partnerships, and in
dividuals in business in Washington
against the Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio. and all other railroads en-
tcring Washington, and their conncc-
tions.
The same date has been set for hear
ing OF the complaint of Golden & Co.
against the Adams Express Company.
Wells Fargo Express Company. South
ern Express Company. American Ex-
press Company, and all other express
companies serving Washington.
Both hearings will be held before Ex-
aminer Pugh. Washington merchants
and manufacturers. in their complaint
allege that the failure OF these roads
to establish commodity rates OH all
commodities to Washington. has sub
jected them to unjust and unreasonable
rates and to financial damage and in
Jury.
The merchants ask the commission
to establish and put into effect reason
able commodity yates and to allow rep
aration for LOSSES sustained, 1t is al
legged, because Of the absence Of such
rates for the last two years.
Golden & Co. In it's complaint alleges
that the rates on cream from all points
in nearby states within a 50O-mile
radius OF Washington, over all eX-
press lines. are unreasonable.
1t was suggested by the commission
that It could not go behind the uni
form rates recently prescribed for eX-
press companies over the entire United
States without specific inquiry and a
finding of fact with respect to condi,
uons of these particular shipments

US. SYSTEM OF RATE
MAKING IS ON TRIAL
eHaring Before Interstate Com
merce Commission May
End in Congressional Action.

The whole scheme of railroad rate
making now In use in America is on
trial before the Interstate Commerce
Commission today, in what may prove
to be the most important hearing every
held by that organization.
Its net result may be a declaration
by Congress for a straight mileage
bases of freight charges throughout the
whole country: complete abandon
inent OF the theory of water competi-
ton. and substitution OF the fact of
such competition wherever it exists
Spokane, Wash. made famous in the
original long -and-shor haul clause iignt,
is again the seminal center Of trouble,
but the difficulty Is greater than the
affairs of any one city OF territory. 1t
resolves itself into the question or
whether the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is able to satisfy the country
with its efforts at rate adjustment on
the present basis any moro than the
railroads were able before the Job was
taken off their hands.

DENVER, April 12-"IIold thy
tongue" That is the secret of political
success, according to Helen Ring Rob-
inson, who ended her career as n State
senator last night. She was the only
woman Senator in the country.
1T took me nearly two years to learn
how to keep STILL" said she today. In
my first session liked to make speeches,
but l didn't talk much in the session
just closed. Experience had taught me
when and how to hold my tongue"
Although in the minority during the
last session, Senator Robinson ac-
complished more than during her first
term. She obtained the passage Of
the red light nuisance abatement bill
and the new minimum wage measure.
II have greatly appreciated my men
