Such at least is more or less the
state of mind that is responsible for
a good deal of the present unrest, ac-
cording to those in a position to know.
There are of course other causes.
There are bound to be cases of legiti-
mate grievance on both sides. There
are cases where one side or the other
both being human-will even play
the present situation to its own advan-
tage. Labor knows that its efforts
are more essential than ever, and its
position correspondingly strong. Cap
ital tells labor that this is no time for
patriotic body of men to tie up an
important industry on account of
some local grievance. But 1t is graf
flying to know that there has been
little use of such tactics by either side.
The expert analysis of the situa-
ton shows that what restlessness ex-
lists is due to no very diSQuieting
causes. 1t seems to be largely the re-
action from high tension and forced
draught, coupled with labor scarcity
with its continual temptation to move.
and the high cost of living All these
problems are serious. but they open
up no such grave vista as would be

FARM WORK cLAsSED-
 WITH MILITARY SERVICE.
Yale University Committee on Admis-
 sion Makes Wise Decision.

The Yale university committee on admission has put farm work on the same basis as military and naval ser vice so far as it relates to exemptions frors final examinations for students who enter Yale.
 The Connecticut committee of food supply has received from Robert Nell son Corwin, chairman of the commit tee on admission, copy of vote passed by the university emergency council. This vote is as follows:
 Voted: That the provisions of the vote of the university committee on admission exempting from final ex- anfnations men presenting satisfac- tory school records who are called of- hcially into any branch of the federal military or naval service before June (1sf7), examinations of the college en- trance examination board be extend ed, as recommended by the chairman or the committee on admission, so as to include students who enter ap- proved agricultural or industrial work or other form of national service sat- lsfactory to their principal or head master, and who are able to present to the committee on admission 'ade- quate credentials regarding their work at the close oftheir period of service {"
 Commenting upon this Professor Corwin says in his letter to the food supply committee: q may add that inasmuch as the food supply may be the chief determining factor in decid- ing this war, it seems to me that your committee has undertaken a most i'm portant work and can assure you that we here at Yale desire to CO., operate in every possible way"

WILL HOLD DEMONSTRATIONS
 AT SToaRs COLLEGE
Expected to Result in Great Home Canning Movement Throughout the State.

If there is any women in Connecti- cut who does not know how to do canning this summer and fall, it will not be the fault of the Connecticut Agricultural college or the Connectf- cut committee of food supply. Plans have been completed by H. J. Baker. director of the state college extension service, and members of the food sup ply committee for canning schools to be held at the Connecticut AgricuI- tural college at Storrs during the month of June and the further use of those who will gain their knowledge at these schools as leaders in their own communities. The whole propo- s1tlon IS intended to result in a great nome canning move throughout Con- nectfcut this year and forms an i'm portant part of the food conservas sion work of the state committee
 There will be a paid school at Storrs the hrst week in June for all paid leaders who work under the direction or the state agricultural college. After this there will be three schools of one week each for volunteers, when per sons representing all towns in the state may go to Storrs and acquire a. complete Knowledge of canning work. The whole college, class rooms. dormi- tories and all, will be devoted to this purpose. Those who receive instruc- tlons during these three weeks will be equipped with knowledge of the work which will enable them to re- turn to their home towns and, in turn instruct others in the science of can hing.

REFUSED PERMISSION TO BRING SUIT
Judge Futile Dismsses Petition of Charles E. Whitaker File Action Against Receiver Moran Order Dissolvng Fenton Building Company is Approved.

course the court had no knowledge of It ih approving the sale
 The language used in the offer to purchase was that of Sweeney and he only mentioned "the sale of unused staging, etc, on the Storrs College Armory grounds including sta1l, con crete mixer, tools and every ything on the ground belonging to the company If this tile was worth anything like what the petitioner now claims it to the receiver would have Intentionally included 1t in the sale for the price named or that the court would have approved such proposed sale, even upon the receivers recommendation. Sweeney was chargeab1e with notice courts order It is significant, too, that it was urged as condition of the additional twenty five dollars that Sweeney desired ''to get this material on or before Monday, March 8, 1915" And yet this material was permitted to remain upon the grounds for a year and half.
 [ cannot find that the petitioner. has proven that this tile was upon the armory grounds or that 1t was in- tended to be included in the terms of the sale even by Sweeney at the time. It follows. therefore. that title to the property in question never passed to Sweeney and therefore. of course, never passed to F'enton Brothers and Company. The petition is dismissed and the order of February 23, which was revoked on March 90, may be re- dated and filed; this order being that approving the receivers final account and dissolving the corporation

In a decision filed on Wednesday with the clerk of the superior court Judge Futile dismisses the petition of mission to sue Receiver John A. Mo ran of the FTenton Building company or for other. adjudication of his claim.
 In his memorandum Judge Futile says:
 This petition is preferred By one not a party to the action above entitled tJarnes F. Fenton, ct al., vs- The Fen ton Building Company or otherwise interested therein than in the manner set forth in. the petition. He claims that the receiver has converted his property and asks permission to sue or that his claim be otherwise adtu- dicated by the court.
 It was agreed at the hearing that instead of granting petitioner per- mission to sue his claim should be at this time upon the allegations of the present uetition and upon the evf- dence offered in support thereof. s
 This agreement casts upon the pe- titioner- the burden of proving that the hollow tile in question was +in- ceiver to Patrick F. Sweeney on March s, 1915. This is the whole ultimate question of fact involved, all others being subordinate to this one ques- tion.
 On March s, 1915, the receiver had never heard. of this tide and did not know of it's existence Sweeney, who resulted in the sale did know of it. Yet he did not include it in his writ ten offer, Exhibit I. It was not in- cluded in the inventory on file and of

DRYs WILL CARRY
 FIGHT TO FINISH
Over One IraH of Towns in State Are
 in No license Column.


 Instead of being satisfied with their victory in the house last week in se- curing the passage of the bill for constAuusona1 amendment providingt for statewide prohibition and allow ing things to run along as they are ufftf1 the matter again comes before the legislature two years hence, the leaders of the prohibition forces who succeeded in putting the measure through, are starting right away to carry the battle through again, says the New Haven Register. According to H. H. Spooner and Emil Hohenthal, two of the prominent figures in the fight for prohibition, not only will uous1y to see that the right kind of men" are sent to the next legislature but they intend to wage strenuous campaign for votes on license question in towns having elections this fall, hoping thereby to materially increase their influence and supporters in the next legislature.
 At present there are 91 out of the 165 tokns of the state registered in the
 ITO 1fcense'' column, which is con- siderablY more than one-half the towns, but not two-thirds. 1t will re- quire a two-thirds vote of both the next senate and house to put the blil before the people for final vote. In the house there are 25s members and as some of the mo Iicense' towns have two representatives and every town mas one. the prOn1DlLlOn IeH0eTB PFO- fess to have no fear about their being able to pass it again there.
 It is doubtful what would have hap pened to the bill in the senate this year had that body been called to vote on it. Some of the senators arc open ly in favor Of prohibition, while oth- CTS are just as openly opposed to it. The prohibition leaders, however, as- sert that they could have secuEsd enough votes to carry it through there also.
 There is no doubt in the minds of either faction to the contest, but that the wave of prohibition that has been sweeping the country has struck Con
 necticut. The liquor interests, espec- ially the saloon keepers, who will be put out of business if the law is fin ally passed, are frankly worried. What chance the saloon keepers had of sell | ing out at a fair price and letting the other fellow take the leavings when prohibition comes, is now gone. they say, and their only hope is therefore to defeat the bill. While nothing defi- rite has yet been done about arrang- ing for it, there will be strong and determined lobby against the bill at the next session. This, according to the prohibitionists, will not avail to defeat the bill.
