 STOCK MARKET
 

New York, April 17-Opening- Important stocks were under further pressure at the opening of today's market, declines ranging from mater ial fractions to a point in coppers, Mexican Petroleum, Central Leather, American Locomotive, Industrial AL cohol and Studebaker. Railroads were irregular with the exception of Read ing and Union Pacific, which gained a point each. Shippings were steady to firm on short covering. Marine preferred made an extreme advance of 38 points, with a point for At lantic, Gulf and West Indies.
 Noon-The forenoon resolved itself into contest between an aggressive short interest and purchasers on the long account, the latter buying freely at lower levels. Shippings were again the center of attack, Marine preferred losing 2A points with 13s for the common and 31a for Atlantic. Gulf & West Indies. United States Steel lost almost point with reversals of one to three points for less active indus trials Railroads were dull and yeild- ed on small offerings, but strengthened before midday when urgent short cov ering wiped out the more important losses. Bonds were heavy.

Workers Pay Huge Sums
 For Industrial Insurance

Hartford, April 17.-'Last year working men and women in Connec- ticut alone paid to three insurance companies operated for profit, ap- proximately $4,000,000 for industrial insurance. These companies paid back to policyholders only slightly more than $1,400,000,"
 This statement was made by Sem ator John H. Barnes to-day, in de- scribing conditions in Connecticut.
 Under health insurance, as pro- posed in the bill now before the 1egis- lature," he declared, "these working people would have received, without any greater expense to them, not only burial insurance, but also. medical, nursing, and hospital care and medi- cines and appliances, and in addition to all that, two-thirds of wages during sickness, up to a maximum of 26 weeks in each year."
 This desirable result, according to Senator Barnes can be secured only by the economy of the universal sys- tenn with contributions by the employ CTS and the states, without maintain ing an expensive force of agents, and without permitting the insurance com panies to profit in the sickness of the workers.

necticut towns and cities The plar

necticut towns and cities. The plans of the governors committee on food supply will in no way interfere with the factors which are already work ing for the same purpose. The ef- fort will be to coordinate all work along these lines, to encourage the eff forts of individuals and groups, and to help any man or any organization which has a plan for increasing Con necticut's food production.
 The office of the food committee is on the second floor of the Connecticut Mutual Building in Hartford. Suffi- cient space has been leased for the committees offices and rooms for gatherings of small groups of interest ed persons. The telephone number is Charter 9520, Hartford, and the members of the committee can be reached at the offices at any hour.
 isWe want the sco-operation of ev- cry man, woman and child in Con- necticut' said a statement issued by the committee to-day. We want suggestions, we want help. We need the cordial support of the entire state to put through this great undertaking which means so much to Connections In the past the state has produced not more than one-fifth of the food it has consumed, and we have had to rely upon the surplus of other states This year that surplus will be small. Our only hope is to utilize the land of our own state to the utmost. We must use every means possible to in crease the states production of food stuffs. Every person who can do anything toward that end~should do it, and may be assured of the cordial cooperation of the Committee.
