lSneciaI to The RnIletinN

New London. July 1.-THE local
jitneymen who own and operate their
own Jits have formed a Jitney drivers
union and propose to affiliate with the
Connecticut Council of Jitney Drivers
and with the State Federation Of Labor.
Their purpose is to combat city and
state legislation that is Objectionable
to them from their business stand
point, to create public opinion in their
favor as against the trolley manage
ment, by their power in politics to in
hucnce those who make city ordinances
and state laws that are considered dis
ADVANTAGEOUS to the litneymen. This
union is different from almost every
other union as, under present cOndl-
items, there Will never be demand for
an eight hour day, an increase in
wages, with half holiday, and so on to
the end of the chapter. They viii ap-
preciate the public sympathy they are
seeking by a reduction Of rates, al
though they may demand that the
court of common council change tine
ordinances regulating the iitney bus
mess as to observance of the traffic
rules, and also in regard to the rates
charged passengers, as a matter OF
that kind perhaps ought to be left en-
tiTCly with the operator Of the pubic
vehicle and the passenger should have
no more protection in that line of bus
mess than is given by the butcher
the baker and the Candic$tCE maker
1t is understood that in due time effort
will be made by the jitneymen to have
the ordinance SO changed that they
may resume their former stand along
State street from Main to Bank and
block passengers in automobiles from
shopping in the stores along that prin-
cipal street; and also be permitted to
line UP along the cuTb.ng themselves
and talk the language peculiar to many
of them and without regard to the
finer senses If npdpStT-i1DG who &c

of his weekly newspaper. even though
by special request he had removed the
name of Woodrow Wilson from the
masthead. But after the election and
inauguration constant readers thought
they perceived a slight note of bitter
ness when they read on the editorial
page joke to this effect: One man
asks another: Ibid you ever read
Pudd'nhead Wilson," To which the
other replies: Read Puddle 'nhead Will

that there was little doubt that the
iron had entered Col. Harvey's soul.
Col. Harvey is man of distinguished
ability. perhaps the keenest of con-
temporary satirists. If he occasionally
infuses little vitrol, good humor for
the most part prevades his writings,
though no one is more adept at impal-
ing wriggling victim on the point of a
pen. The genuineness of his grievances
against the present occupant of the
White House, one who would never
have been there except for the efforts
of Col. Harvey, is well known. If he
cares to tell all, the editor of the North
American Review should be able to
make some exceedingly piquant con-
tributions to the literature of the cam
paign.

TWO FREIGHT WRECKS
Aside From Delay OF Traffic Little
Damage Was Done Tuesday.

On Tuesday afternoon an eastbound
freight train was wrecked and both
tracks more or less damaged when a
loaded coal car left the rails at a point
just west of the Washington Spring
crossing, the car leaving the rails being
the only one involved, but the tracks
were badly twisted and many ties were
torn out and cut to pieces. A wrecking
crew from Piedmont arriven on the
scene an hour after the occurrence and
succeeded in clearing the track and
trains moved after an hours Interrupt
ton.
About ten o'clock Tuesday night and
at the same point a second wreck oc-
Cured, when two cars Of an eastbound
train were derailed and the tracks
blocked, which delayed traffic upwards
of two hours.

THE BLAME RESTS AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

President Wilson would not have
been forced to the necessity of ap-
pealing to Congress to prevent strike
had he not made a vital blunder when
the railroad controversy was first put
up to him. Had he put the full weight
of his position behind the demand that
all the issues between the men and the
railroads be arbitrated. it is now per-
fectly apparent that he would have had
popular backing go strong, so de-
termined, that the employees would not
have dared go counter to it.
There would have been then a
clear illustration whether the coun-
try needs compulsory arbitration;
whether the great body of the people,
given the facts in disputes of this
kind, could not merely by weight 70
informed and enlightened public
opinion compel both sides to such
quarrel to submit their differences

The MUSTN'T TALK lseA.

The promsters and defenders of the
Democratic cause were profuse in
criticisms of Mr.. Hughes during the
period extended from the time of his
nomination to the day of his speech, of
acceptance. They didn't like his silence;
they found fault with him because he
would not talk. Now that he is talk
ing with a clearness of statement and
logical analysis that leaves nothing to
the guessing, the other fellows-th the
party of the defense-are more dis
satisfied than ever.
The New York Times in arguing
for the suggestion that Hughes
should have stayed at Bridgehamp-
ton and have inundated himself in
silence until after election agrees that
his silence would have mystifed and
angered many voters, but, in the
opinion of the Times, the Hughes of
the popular imagination would not
have been destroyed" But the
Hughes of the popular Imagination
has not been destroyed. That is a
theory which Democratic newspapers
have invented and which they are
laboriously striving to put over
The Times says that if Hughes had
stayed at home and kept silent even
those who assailed him would have
had an uncomfortable feeling that
there was something menacing and
terrible in this silence. But those who
are assailing him know perfectly well
that there is something far more ter
rible and menacing to Democratic pros
poets in the Hughes who is discussing
the issues involved in this campaign.
He is but following the example of
Wilson in 1912 and of other presidential
candidates since the time of Mckinley.
The time has gone by when a presiden-
tial candidate can pose as sphinx The
people want to know what a presiden-
tial candidate stands for. Hughes is
telling them what he stands for.

DELIGHTED WITH
MARYLAND HIGHWAYS
West Virginia Official Praises the
Model Thoroughfares of This State.

Wheeling, Aug. when it comes
to good roads we will have to hand it
to the state of Maryland. said Charles
o. Ephlin. member of the board of
county commissioners, last night upon
his return from tristate tour with
other members Of the board and the
road engineer. The commissioners have
been out of the city for the past four
days touring the roads of Maryland
Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Ta1via roads seem to be IN the
majority, according to Mr.. Ephlin. He
said that they were lucky enough to
see the roads in the point of construc-
ton and also their way of maintenance.
This latter part, said he, impressed him
the most. Upon the tarvia roads man
is assigned to five miles to care for as
his section. This man has his small por-
table kettle, and wherever aIut shows
he fills it with crushed stone and tar and
with metallic plunger batters it into
the hole, making acopplete patch. Mr..
EphIin said that one could travel for
miles and never see a break in the road,
and the cost of such maintenance is
amazingly small.
All IN all, the commissioners covered
more than five hundred miles, going
from here to Uniontown, Pa, then to
Cumberland, then to Hagerstown, then
to Sharpsburg, then to Harpers Ferry,
then to Charles Town, then to Win
chester, Va, then to Martinsburg, then
to Hancock, and back home over the
Old National road.

to an impartial tribunal for adjust
ment. Far from taking action that
would have settled the threatened
strike IN this way, the President in
his first statement of what ought to
be done committed another egregious
blunder. He misstated the root of the
trouble between the roads and the men
in most unfortunate way. He gave
the impression that the real trouble
concerned the eight day rather
than. as is actually the fact, the
amount of wages the men shall re-
ceive for the hours they work, whether
six, eight, ten or twelve.
In other words, the President, with
out investigation, took the side of the
men and by that course strengthened
their stand, giving them the very back
ing they needed to go to the mat if
necessary and with the support of the
White House for their unyielding atti-
tude.
This is not fight between labor and
capital. 1t is fight to prevent labor
and capital combining to load the public
with higher freight rates before it has
been demonstrated that the mass of the
people ought to be asked to shoulde,
the burden. 1t is fight to preserve
the principle of arbitration. without
which the public can see no end to the
vicious circle of constantly increasing
demands by railroad employees. con.
slant yielding to threats by railroad
managers and constant recouping out

INDIVIDUAL CUP
ORDER SWEEPING
1ay Be Extended to Hotels, Res
taurants and Cafes.

Extension of the individual drinking
cup. order of the State Health Board to
hotels, restaurants and saloons is en-
gaging the attention of the state health
authorities. Aimed directly at the drug
stores and other places selling soft
drinks to children, the new regulation is
so sweeping that the other drink
emporiums may be included.
The question has already been rails
ed by interested managers and propri-
etors, and while no stringent prohibition
was given, the advice was rendered for
the use of the individual cups. 1t is
stated that the matter will be discussed
officially by the board at its next meet
ing.
Because they believe the order dis
crimlnatory, several druggists regis
tered protest with the state health
officials this morning. They intimated
that if the prohibition were confined to
the drug stores they would make a
legal issue of the order. The explana-
ton was given that the order would
apply to all places selling soft drinks.
The question was then raised as to the
Interpretation of a soft drink and
whether it included milk and water.
The inquiry was too great a problem
for the individual officials. and while
they advised all purveyors of soft
drinks, including milk and water, to use
the individual cup, they were not able
to make strict application of the ad-
vertised order to hotels. restaurants and
saloons.
The order contemplates the use of
paper cups, which are already in use in
several of the drug stores. One of the
druggists who has just ordered 10000
of these cups made the statement to
one of the state officials that the health
order could not be enforced on Septem-
Der for the reason that the necessary
supply of the paper containers could not
be filled within three months.
hDOlISI CIIllClSiu ulTeCleu against
one of the other orders of the State
Board of Health concerns the prohib-
ton of children from Maryland under l6
years of age from entering any of the
states where infantile paralysis is pre-
valent. At the same time children from
these infested sections are permitted to
enter this state under health certif-
cate. subject to two-week surveillance
The point is raised that the state is
really quarantining itself and that the
order will create a hardship upon
children attending schools in other
states.
The answer of the health authorities
is that the community at times requires
stringent measures TO protect its own
health. While it is admitted that the
question of entering an infected district
might be a matter of individual DESIRE
yet the claim is made that the general
community is concerned that the public
health must be subseryed. The clause
in the order permitting the deputy
health officers to pass upon all applca-
ton is claimed to be saying feature of
this situation.
