CHANCE IS GIVEN I
FOR The MANNED
TO MAKE LIVING

The June report of the Charity Or
ganization Society, issued today,
brings to light many interesting
changes. that the war is producing.
Noticeable among these is the new
opportunity provided for the halt the
manned and the blind to make their
own living Before the war, several
handicapped families, many Of whom
had large families, were dependent, to
a great extent, on the organized char
tiles. The charities found it difficult
to adjust them to suitable jobs, ow-
ing to their particular physical dis
abilities and the general attitude OF
employers in refusing to risk the pos
sibilities of further accidents.
The experience of the Charity Or
ganization Society today shows that
all this has changed The crippled
and handicapped are today given a
chance and not charity. The short
age of men now gives them a new
value. Even the mental detectives,
| for whose care their relatives were
wont, formerly, to apply to the State,
are now able to secure Jobs at I'M
skilled labor and the surprise is that,
under proper supervision, they are do
ing very well
The report goes on to state that al
though, in this respect, the burden OF
the Charity Organization Society is
lightened, in other directions, owing
to the increased cost Of living, search
ty of rents, and overcrowded condi-
lions, the work of the society is in
lcreasing monthly.

ALL HONOR TO
SATURDAY NIGHT!

Stringent fuel regulations are soon
to be put into effect and they will
not only affect street lighting but will
reach into the homes as well. This
will include gas reduction for heat
ing and cooking and it is said that
Saturday night will regain its high
standing as bath night for the Fuel
Board is to set one day a week on
which hot baths may be taken. In
that case what could be more fitting
than to restore to Saturday night its
former glory and honor?
Similarly days will be appointed
for washing and ironing and in order
to insure that the new ruling will be
carried out gas light and electric light
producers will be given a minimum
quantity of coal from which to gen

ocratic party. IS endeavoring tosascer-
tain the needs of America, it will pro-
coed to grasp any new suggestion
which may be righteous suggestion,

The women of Connecticut feel that
this unanimous endorsement from the
Democratic party, and the telegram
sent by the Resolutions Committee to
the Chairman of the Suffrage Com
mittee in the United States Senate will
help to turn the scale for favorable
vote on the Suffrage. Federal Amend
ment.
In the platform of the Republican
party of Connecticut adopted at the
State Convention, the suffrage plank
was SO cleverly linked with the pro-
hibition question that it is difficult to
draw a definite conclusion from the
action taken. No opportunity was
given for straight suffrage vote on
the floor of the convention.
Rumors Immediately prior to the
opening of the meeting as to the atti-
tude of the delegates on the suffrage
question were far from favorable. In
view Of this a most encouraging
strength developed, especially from
the Fairfield County delegation.
The vote on the elimination of the
plank relating to suffrage and pro-
hibition, however, revealed pretty
fair test of the sentiment of the con-
vention toward suffrage. The plank
in question read:
1.-THE question of prohibition and the

elimination.
, There was a strong protest on the
floor of the convention against inter
weaving the suffrage and the prohibi
ton questions. A roll call was de
manded on the elimination of the
plank as originally written, but wa
: denied When the motion to strik,

sat for several hours at the first of
the hearings by the Taft Walsh board
in the Court House yesterday after
noon on the controversy between the
machinists and the manufacturers.
The grievance of the machinists is to
the effect that the manufacturers are
alleged to have evaded the govern
ment awards as regards wages. At
the hearing yesterday afternoon Fred
Hewitt, editor of the Machinists
Journal, read documentary evidence
that had a bearing on the case.
Three hearings are to be granted
by the Labor Board to the Machin-
lists and at each a protest will be
voiced concerning the question at is
sue. Mr.. Hewitt went extensively in
to the history of the labor difficulties
in this city. Judging from the mass
of evidence to be presented these
hearings are apt to last fully two
weeks. First will be the formal
statements of the cases for both par
ties, then testimonial evidence will
be introduced.
The manufacturers desire that the
Labor Board shall consider not only
the case of the machinists and tool
makers but all factory employees in
the city. They say that practically
only ten pc recent are represented in
the present controversy and state
their position in brief as follows:
p THE present controversy for
which the Taft-Walsh board was

the reconciliation and Epstein fingered
so that he might catch another glimpse
of the girl he dearly loved. He desired
to speak to her and tell her martyr-like,
that he had forgiven her and bore no
malice towards her.
Mr.. Schloss was seated in the dining
room engaged in conversation with Dr.
Husch and Epstein when Mrs. Schloss
ran in to announce that Minnie and the
Singletons had arrived.
"Let her come in" said Mr.. Schloss
with vibrating voice.
DR.. Husch and Sidney Epstein turned
to the door expectantly and after few
moments, Minnie entered followed by
Mrs. Schloss, Arthur, Singleton and Bern
ard. Mr.. Schloss rose with effort from
his seat and just as he stretched his arms
to receive his daughter, he shuddered
from head to foot and with a stified cry,
fell back into the chair with his right
hand pressed against his heart

at his side.

"True," answered the other, "but when
you look deeply into the question you
will find that her sin against you was in
part, as you we'll know, your own fault,
having brought her up in a non-Jewish
atmosphere"
81 am of the same opinion" put in Mr..
Epstein. "You ought to forgive her, Mr..
Schloss, I have long forgiven her, al
though her marriage was a severe blow,
the most severe that I have ever expert
enced in life, for I loved her sincerely
and profoundly"
Eyes, Mr.. Schloss," continued DR..
Husch "you must forgive her. Forgive
ness is an attribute of God. All religion
is founded upon love and forgiveness. Do
you remember the fable in the Talmud
of the stranger who came to Rabbi Hillel
and asked to be taught the Jewish relig-
ion while he remained standing on one
foot and Rabbi Hillel remarked to him:
Love thy neighbor as myself Without
love this world would be destitute of life;
without love this world would be bar
rem desert; without love man would be
reduced to BEAST"
Heaven knows that I love my daugh-
ter" replied Mr.. Schloss. "She was
part of me-a part of my life-but her
conduct. ;"
"But it seems to me-" broke in Rabbi
Husch, that there is some personal ami
mostly in your attitude towards your
10 hxyt
that she has disobeyed you, that she has
caused you pain and sorrow. These are
the things that have set your heart
against her. But you must not bear any
ill-will towards her. You must forget
and forgive. Before Cod you stand an
innocent man, for you have done all in
your power to prevent the marriage. 1t
is therefore high time for you to stop
brooding. Do you remember the story of
David when his child was stricken with
fatal disease? Do you remember how
he sat on the floor and prayed fervently
to God that his child be saved? And no
sooner his child died. what did he do?
He accepted the mandate of God un-
grudgingly and got up and Toasted. What
is, is inevitable. I say in all sincerity
that it is your duty to your family, to
yourself to forgive her, for believe that
you bring more misery upon those you
love by keeping her out of your home.
By trying to be true to your religion, you
are severe unto your fellow-men, and I
have already told you that in our religion
the conduct between man and man stands
higher than the conduct between man
and God. I beg of you, take your daugh-
