SOME LESSONS FROM
 TROLLEY SITUATION

Any one who takes a trip to the eastern end of Connecticut finds de- pressing evidence of postwar condi- tions in the miles and miles of carless tracks which stretch as far as the eye can see. As we understand it, not a trolley car is moving in that end of the state or in the large part of Rhode Island, including Providence. The entire Shore Line from Branford to New London and we suppose, from Groton to Providence. is denuded of it's cars. Already the tracks look de- serted, the sand is piling over the rails, they are getting rusty and grass is growing between the rails.
 Whatever may be the outcome or de- merits of the situation the basic fact is that the trolley companies are not making money enough to meet the demands for higher wages When there is no money with which to pay wages business necessarily has to stop How can trolley companies get the money with which to pay wages? Two or three methods have been sug- gested. One is to relieve the trolley companies of taxation; another is to empower them to raise their fares; third is to permit them to run only lines which are profitable. But so antagonistiG was the last legislature in Connecticut to any one of those suggestions that nothing was done to relieve the situation and the people of this state are put to enormous incon- veniences and in many cases, to a considerabl loss because of this fool ish attitude son the part of the legis- lature.
 The trolley situation Is just an i1- 1ustration of what other kinds of business may come to if the present vicious process of raising Wages and then raising prices continues. Many forms of business cannot raise prices so that they cannot secure the extra money needed to pay extra wages. Consequently they must ultima ately come to a stop. And no one can see the end so long as there is no check upon present imitation. How soon the federal reserve bank system can take action which will check imitation no prophet seems willing to predict.- Waterbury American

If any have lost insurance through fauure ito pay premiums, they should write to the bureau at once applying for reinstatement, and send with letter check money or der for back premiums. Any portion of insurance may be reinstated from $1,000- up, in multiples of $500. Adj dress all communication to the InSur- Insurance, Washington, D. C.

Mayor E. Frank Morgan of New London took another step Wednesday in an attempt to effect a settlement of the Shore Line trolley strike. now entering it's second week He ar ranged for a conference in New Lon don with the executors of the estate of Morton F. Plant. but no agreement was reached which both sides would accede to.
 As the Plant estate is the owner of the road. Mayor Morgan invited the executors to a conference with the street railway committee of the New London common council, President Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line, and the joint, committee of the trolley
 men. Theodore Bodenwein of New London, who was on the mediation committee which tried to bring about an arbitration agreement last Monday was also invited to the conference.
 Those attending included the New London mayor and committee of three, George A. Slnearc- Frank deCc. Sulli- van and Henry Plant. who are 1T Plant eXecutUis.- W illiam G. Stebbins c. B. Whittlesey, attorney for the Shore Line. F. J. Rooney, Harry F. McGlone and other members of the trolleymen's committee.
 The ultimate proposition which the company said they would agree to- 1t was stated after the conference. was to agree to arbitration, without any reservations if the third member of the IDllIdLIOH DodTu were ndt1led DS Governor Holcomb of this state. They would leave to such a board all ques- tions and would allow the board to decide whether wage award should be retroa ctive and just when it should apply.
 Chairman Harry F. McGIone of the joint committee said last night that an appointment by Governor Holcomb b was not acceptable to the trolleymen and they would not accept such a proposition for naming the third member of the arbitration board. He claimed that the Shore Line was will ing to withdraw all it's provisos only in case the third arbitrator was ap- pointed by the governor. but insisted upon putting in a proviso about when

WEST SIDE SUBSTATION
 GIVEN NEW LOCATION

The postal sub station which was formerly conducted by George M. Rathbone in his drug store on Thames square has been removed to the store of John Jordan at 3S West Main street. He will issue money or ders, register letters, and conduct the station as it was before. This will accommodate the patrons of the old station, and will be handy for the merchants in that section. It is sug- gested that persons buying stamps or envelopes do not conf1ne themselves to one stamp at time. but buy stamps in quantities as they will find 1t more convenient to have a stamp on hand when it is wanted.
 No parcel post matter will be ac- cepted, as all that class of mail has to be deposited in the main office, and should not be dropped in street letter boxes as the mail is delayed there hV-

The amount of water in the oil water mixture generally increases as the well grows older. until finally the yield of oil may be too small to make the well pay and it is then said to be drowned out" The drowning of many wells is a result or the natur- al movement of oil and water in the rocks-a movement consequent upon the removal of large quantities of oil and gas through Wells--but drowning is often the result of leakage of water from a water bearing stratum into the oii-bearig stratum through non producing wells which have been drilled through both strata and from which the casing has been removed.
