yards have been brought into the At lantie for coastwise or other service.
 The demand for ships has resulted in many cargo carriers being taken from that section for both scoastwise and transatlantic service, and these have included those of wood as well as steel. The. help which has been ob- tained by drawing upon that source has not been negligible. The fact that the canal through which they must pass does not contain locks long enough to accommodate some 4of the largest lake steamers has not prevent ed their utilization for it has been re- peatedly demonstrated that they can be cut in two and rejoined with suc- cess, which is clearly shown by the many which have gone through that change.
 But what the lakes have contributed in the way of ships in the past does not mean that the shipyards in that region have done all that is possible. This has been demonstrated by the recent letting of contracts. for the con struction of many more ships for the United States shipping board in the yards on the lakes. This is a move which means taking advantage of available facilities wherever they exist and action that should produce re- suits.

MORE COAL PRoMlsEs.

For about a --~~~ New England has been working living under a greatly reduced cual supply which in- cludes both anthracite and bituminous. Early this spring an appeal was made to the people to get in their supply for next winter early and there has been displayed a generous disposition on the part of the people to abide by the advice Tn spite of their willing ness it has been found that 1t was impossible to get the coal and even though this is the season. of the year when it should be moving in the greatest quantities New England has been receiving far below what it ought to be getting.
 Such a situation called for the pro- mitigation of 6 different policy by the fuel administration. The problem of producing and delivering more coal being in the hands of the government improved conditions were to be ex- pected. Promises have been made that there would be a change for the better, but little improvement has been shown. Now a new plan is to be put into operation and under d new ruling New England is scheduled to receive ten and third million tons of anthracite or about 25 per cent more than it received during the year 1916-17. To get this supply the supply for the west and south is be- ing eliminated and that to the north vest and Canada curtailed There stil remains the matter of transpor- Jation and New England awaits with interest the outcome of the new move

ness of the relations between the two at a hearing given representatives of the American Association of Corset Manufacturers arranged by Congress man Tilson of Connecticut and which Senator Brandegee and Congressman Glynn attended.
 The purpose of the hearing was to ascertain whether or not the manu
 facture of corsets is one of the less essential industries to which the ap- plication of certain regulations in the use of steel would apply. The asso- ciation was represented by I. M. Ul- man of the Strous, Adler company of New Haven, Luther Warner of the
 Warner company. of Bridgeport and by the representatives of New York com- panies. They stated that steel was an essential to corset manufacture and that corsets were essential to the con- fort and usefulness of women workers.
 They called attention to the fact that while doing yearly business of more than forty million dollars, corset man. ufacturers use only 15,000 tons of steel.
 Moreover, that a very large per cent. of workers in corset factories are
 women, so the man power of the coun- try is not drawn upon to any cons1d : erable extent The corset men stated
 to the council that England has found the industry so important and the
 demands of women workers so insist ent that it permits the importation Of
 corsets and the necessary materials | in spite of the great lack of tonnage i from which that country is suffering. The council of national defense | thereupon took the matter of corset manufacture under consideration and will announce it's decision later.

HoARDTNG.

Caught with the goods just abo1t
 s the case of Medical Director Nash cf the United States navy and his wife who have just been indicted at Washington on a charge Of .hoardins. In spite of all the efforts which have been put forth by the government to reduce consumption in order'that there may be enough for all, including those et home as well as those in the army and navy abroad. it is disclosed that a naval officer has set out to do just what the food administrator has been warning the people against doing and what a law has been passed to pre- vent carrying with it a penalty of two years imprisonment i fine of s$5 ,e80, CT both. -
 With his home stocked with over a ton of sugar. many barrels of flour, many boxes of soap. great stores of groceries and well filed wine cellar it is perfectly evident that the action was deliberate and that it was intend ed to overcome whatever restrictions might be placed upon any commodity for household use. In England the stiffest kind of penalties al : exacted for such conduct and in this country there have been instances where hoarders have been made to feel the teeth of the law. There certainly can be seen no reasons for leniency in this instance. It can be readily understoo5 what the effect would be if a large number should follow that policy and it is all the more fragrant that a na- val officer should be engaged in any such violation. Such an official should have set just the opposite example.

 Norwich is a large corporation in which a great many are interested and interested in many ways. It is necessary that the interests of the many should be properly looked after that the affairs of the city should be conducted in an efficient manner and upon a business basis. and to secure such it is the duty of each and every one who has the right of suffrage to exercise 1t in the coming election.
 - The republics ms :n the selection of their ticket for the city election next Monday have chosen men who are en- titled to the confidence of their fel. low citizens regardless of party af- fliation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
High Cost of Living is Often Caused
 by Hiqh Livina,


 Mir. Editor: The laboring men as a rule, and more particularly the me- chanlcS, 1 think, are the spenders. They have what their money will pur- chase. and if they have steady work at good wages buy much that they could not only get along without but which is really injurious to health and causes pain and suffering in later years. Besides, what were once lux uries are more and more being con- sidered as necessities until the strug- gle to make both ends meet becomes harder as time goes on. People groan under the burden of the high cost of living when, in a great many cases, it is really the cost of high living. Pads take a prominent part; they might as we'll be out of the world as out of fashion. These conditions have been handed down from one generation to another since the great increase in wages soon after the close of the Civil war, until now the knowledge of practical economy might be consider ed as one of the lost arts. This brings us to what we are up against now People of today as a rule don't know how to economize because they have not been brought up to it. We are urged to adopt meatless days, wheat less days, and days when we should deny ourselves the use of various other articles of food, etc, but the study and exercise of practical, sys- tenatic economy. goes much farther and therefore is more effectual. The housewife of today is up against a pretty stiff proposition and is obliged to exercise her faculties to the limit to keep her table supplied with pala- table food and at the same time to see thats none is wasted In doing these things she is helping more in fhis great struggle for the rights of humanity than she can in. any other way and if she has daughters growing up she is doing double duty. She is surely doing her bit

RAILROAD MI
ATTITUDE.

In connection with the threats of many railroad men to strike because Of their dissatisfaction with the in creases in pay which have been granted to them by the director gen eral of the railroads in accordance with the recommendations of the wage commission, there can be no question but what Director General McAdoo has taken the proper stand in warn ing them against such action and tell ing them that they are now in the employ of the government and that it will not stand any threats or intimi- dations
 There is no wonder that he terms the situation as incredible when he points out that 1t is the first time in the history of the country that a strike has been attempted against the government, and the surprise is all the greater because of the war condi- tions which are existing today. To these railroad men self appears to be greater than country. It is a mighty poor display of patriotism and a dem onstration of a determination to em- harrass unless they can have their own way and get everything that they demand.
 The director general took occasion to point out that it was recognized that inequalities might appear in the commissions recommendations but even if that is so and there are in- equalities 1t does not call for a strike but for an adjustment according to the facts. Arrangements have been made for such adjustment as the men well know and it reflects great dis credit upon them to threaten to secure tHeir demands by force. They are al- ways calling for justice but they are the first to depart from such pol Irv
