PRISONERS ON STRIKE
1O2 Conyicts at Weathersfield Refuses to Work Because of Food Given
 Them-Unjustified, Warden Claims.

Hartford, July 9.-One hundred and two prisoners in the state prison at Wethersfied spent the day in their cells without food today. because they refused to go to work in the shirt shop in the morning.
 Warden Charles C. McClaughry said he had no official knowledge Up to noon of why the prisoners decided to strike, but he had learned indirectly that they were not satisfied with the meals hey had been getting. The prison bill of fare, he said, was ample not only in quantity and quality but was also approved every week by the prison physicians.
 No excitement attended the strike. The entire number did not strike to- gether, but in small groups during the early morning hourse and as fast as they stopped work, they were re- turned to their cells, and put on a diet of water.
 There are 395 prisoners working in the shirt shop, and when they re- ported at their machines after break fast this morning, 15 of them refused to begin work. Warden McCauighry was notified. and he had them taken to the office. He did not ask their reasons for refusing, he simply asked each one if he intended to work to- day and each one replied in the nega- tive, said the warden.
 'There is absolutely no justification for their objection to their meals" |" They have been living higher than many men who are free on the work to buy what they please, and the boys in the trenches would think they had reached Utopia if they had the same fare day after day.
 The fare they are getting is sub stantially the same as 1t has been, ex- cept that have caused a more scien- tifc distribution made of 1t than was formerly the case.
 "They have meat nearly every day, and plenty of variety. After they go back to work we will get down to the bottom of the matter, and find out where 1t started Mass movements, whether in the German army or in any other party of the Bolsheviki are not desirable"

 NO MORE BIG JOBS
Will Specialize in Small Contracts Was Once Leading Building
 Contracting Firm.

The E. II. Hubbard Co., which was one of the largest contracting firms in the city, will discontinue taking contracts for big jobs for the present, but will continue to take smaller building contracts. The E. II. Hib- bard Co.,, was equipped with up-to- date machinery for handling big con- tracts and during the lifetime of the late Bennett H. Hubbard the company erected some of the largest factories in the city. The company at times specialized in doing big jobs in linn ited periods of time.
 Matthew Hayes, who was the as sistant treasurer of the company, has resigned his active connection with the company, but retains his office. The business hereafter will be in charge of Fred X. O'Brien the sec retarN.
 The special machinery of the com pany is being disposed of, because at this time attractive prices can be secured. The firm is not, however, going out of the general building business officials state.

WOULD STABILIZE PRICES
Robert Scovillc, Food Administrator, To Address Local GrocCrS and Mar kCt Men Tonight.

Tonight at o'clock Federal Food Administrator A Robert Scovillc Pro lessor Alfred F. Hall of the food ad ministratiOn and Local Food Admin istrator William J. Farley, will ad- dress q large gathering of New Brit ain grocers and market men in tho cham hcr of commerce rooms in an attempt to secure their cooperation to stabilize the prices of food stuffs in this city.
 It Is the plan of the food admins- tration to have the wholesale and re- tail dealers in food commodities have published weekly or semi-weekly In the local press the prevailing prices Of foods. Inasmuch as this is @ matter of great interest to all deal CTS, it is expected that there will be large representation tonight.
 The general plan of his proposed publication of prices is to protect the consumer from unfair charges and to protect the individual dealers from unfair competition. Not only will such a list provide against protiteer- ing and the charging of excessive prices, but it will also give the house. keeper an accurate idea of just what prices are prevailing and how much the various articles should cost.

Chaser Planes Arc Being Made Faster Than Pilots Can Be Trained Realized.

Paris, July 9.-Hopes founded on American material aid to the Allies soon will be realized, says Captain HerteauN, the famous French aviator, who has just returned from a visit to the United States in a statement to the Associated Press. Both Ameri- can pilots and American machines are coming overseas in large numbers The captains statement follows:
 We now have several thousand American pilots in France. They have arrived after adequate training so they have only to put the finishing touches to the already sound instruc- ton.
 We have not sufficient chaser planes to mount all these pilots, but the machines are being manufactured more quickly than the pilots can com- plete their training. It is certain that America alone within a. few months will be able to more than supply all it's aViatOrS with machines.
 America still has something to learn in the construction of chaser planes, but progress is being shown every day The Liberty motor is now ready, and machines fitted with it are being turned out rapidly. The Amer ican bombardment planes are of the finest quality. The day of errors in which we had our share is now over. The hopes which public opinion founded on American aviation soon will be realized.
