DEMANDS THAT PACKERS
GIVE PROOF OF CHARGES
W. P. Colver, in New York Speech,
Answers Attack on Trade
Commission.

NEW YORK. October 30-Challeng-
ing the big five" meat packers to
bring proof of charges that the Fed
eral Trade Commission has been
guilty of conspiracy and acts amount
ing to treason. William =. Colver. a
member of the commission, told rep
| resentatives of the National Associa
ton of Ice Industries here last night
that the packers had spent millions
of dollars in advertising and that
the sums of money so spent have been
so great as to cause editorial astig-
matiSm.
ated with every means at their COM
mand to the commissions campaign
against these business methods, Mr..
Colver said similar charges of social :
ISM anarchy and destruction OF
American export trade were directed
against President Roosevelt in 1906
when he was urging the passage of a
meat inspection law.
Declaring the excess profits tax to
be zone of the chief contributing
Mr.. Colver placed himself on record
as favoring the repeal of the meas
ure. He declared the tax to be both
a burden and a temptation to busi.
ness and said that this tax. as all
other taxes, eventually was paid by
the public. resulting in Il demand for
higher wages and thus proceeding
in a circle and starting again the
endless spiral upward
Admitting injusticeS to legitimate

to apply to business were of neces-

concern about to embark upon any
course of business conduct might re-
fer the entire matter in advance to
the government for action.

20 MINERS ENTOMbED;
GIVEN UP AS DEAD
Rescue Workers at Amsterdam,
Ohio, Forced to Quit for Fear
of Explosion.

STEUBENVILLE. Ohio, October 30
After battling their way to within

been imprisoned since yesterday
morning. rescue workers We're or
dered out of the Y. and .. mine. No. 2,
at Amsterdam, Ohio. at O'Clock this
morning by mine officials and state
mine inspectors, who feared an eX-
plosion might occur. according to
word received here. Hope has been
abandoned that the miners are alive.
The miners were entombed yeSter-
day when an electric generator eX-
plOded and set fire TO the main in
terror.
or the men entombed but one has
made his way to the surface. He
emerged last night, saying he had
been pulled to the shaft by his mule
while he lay on the floor of mine
car. He was badly burned.
Rescue parties worked all night in
the gas-filled mine; At 2 o'clock this
morning they had reached point
$50 feet distant from entry No. Is
west. in which the twenty miners
were supposed to be held prisoners.
Fire broke out then behind the rescue
party and its members were forced to
fight their way through flames and
smoke. many narrowly escaping suf-
location.
Subsequently attempts to rescue the
entombed men failing. the officials at
daybreak ordered the men to leave
the mine. Coal was afire throughout
the entire workings and the mine was
filed with gas. After a final tour OF
inspection shortly before o'clock
the inspectors pronounced it extreme
iy dangerous TO continue the rescue
work. The state mine rescue car ar
rived at 10 o'clock last night. but was
unable to operate.
State mine inspectors and mine Off
Gals are now in consultation and on
their decision will rest whether any
further attempt will be made to get
the bodies of the men.

WE WANT GOOD TEACHERS

There should be no differonce or
 npinion concerning the bill od,,oo+o,,
 to present to the General As H'sembly asking for an appropriation sso ensure the employment of compc- gent teachers. A public discussion of Ifhe moisture will be held tbis c,onin., |at Grammar school hall and every |inother and father whose children at |aend the public schools should be present.
 t--SeW Britain, in common with many |other Connecticut cities, is threatened swlth shortage of efficient teachers lDecause of the larger salaries offered H1n other states. Under the present wage schedule we cannot hopc to re- R R1aln the best instructors and unless Temedlal legislation is enacted Con- 1nectlcut cities must fall below their apresent standard. The bill which will be discussed tonight asks the Legs- siature to grant to each town, in addi- #f1on to regular appropriations, "a Ssum equal to four dollars for each Schlld in average attendance, as deter mlned by the attcsted registers of the sschools" during the present year ito 1be expended only in payment of tho iva ges of teachers"
 An effort has been made to ascYibc sa political maneuver to the meeting. &There is no politics in the question awhich will come before the house. On Fits ratification depends whether Con- Rnccticut will continue to give It's chil- 2dren the best instructors or be satis- Flied to sec these instructors go to Hothcr fields where the remuneration Bis more attractive.

Acting Blood.
New York Herald.

It has been said by obscrvant and truthful philosophers that family traits do not perpetuate themselves in Am mcrica as in old countries. Large ly speaking. tho descendants of our most distinguished citizens arc @ sorry crew when compared with their illustrious forcbears. This is especial ly true of our plutocracy. Those who have created great wealth usually fail to leave behind them children wise and thrifty enough to retain pos session of it.
 The theatrical profession, however, has produced families in which the acting blood ran strong through moro than one generation. The Booths, Jeffersons and DaEenports were not able examples of inherited talent, and still moro distinguished, in tho eyes of tho present generation of play gocrs, arc tho Drcws, now conspicu ously in tho public eye. The founder of the family was John Drew. one of tho best Irish comedians our stage has known. who nourished during the fifties and whose wife, Louisa l4anc. was 2, famous Mrs. Malaprop. An tho descendants of this remark able couple Grc born actors. The younger John Drew was playing 'Ieads' in -Augustin Daly's splendid company when hC was still in his tWcntiG3, and is today the most fin- ished light comedian on the American stage. His sister was Georgie Drew, tho wife of Maurice Barrymore and an actress of such originality and charm that, to quote the words of a moro famous player. "she has never been replaced and never will be- It is from her. rather than from their father, that her children inherit their mimetic gifts. Ethel Rarrymore's rise in the profession was of m eteoric SWiftness. John was for time an ar list but he abandoned the pencil for the career to which hC was born. He and his brother Lionel. also 8, play CT by inheritance, are now playing to- gethcr With great success in New York theatcr. John DrcW's daughter, whose mother also was of acting blood, also is an inhcritor of tho family gifts
 Good theatrical blood is sadly need- cd on our stage. The older countries can boast of families of actors who have entertained the public for many generations and whose talents have not vet run out We have too many actors who have taken to the foot lights after failing in other occupa- tions instead of learning the rudl- mentS of the magic art in childhood as do the offspring of a long line or players.

Price of Coffee Will Not Be Lowered
 For a While,

Cleveland, O., April 15.-Thc price of coffee is not going to be cheaper for d while, according to q statement by Carl W. Brand of Cleveland, presi- dent of the National Coffee Roastcrs' association, who presided at a section al meeting here today of 75 coffee ro2sters from Ohio, Pennsylvania, In diana and Michigan. On account of d severe frost in Brazil that will result in decreased crops for a long time. Mir. Brand said he would not be sur priScd to sec good coffee retail at 50 cents pound and probably higher in the future.
 He added that owing to. roasters having supplies of low cost coffee on hand, which they have averaged with later high priced purchased, ad- Nances to retail dealers and consum- CTS have not yet reached prices that will cause coffee to be higher.

THE TENEMENT SCARCITY.

Official records in the Bureau Of Labor Statistics at Hartford bring the spotlight on the tenement situation in New Britain. For the two years end ing November 30, 1918, tho building business in New Britain fell off to an alarming rate, only S7 tenements be- ing added in that period. These fig ures do not include one and two fam ily houses. It is true that conditions all over the state were along the same line, this being due to the order of tho government forbidding the erection of structures that were not to be used to speed the production of munitions and other necessary war material,
 In the news columns yesterday, The Herald reported the information that New Britain manufa cturcrs were studying an arran cement for the erGc- ton of moro homes for factory en- ploycs. It jS to be hoped that they ar rive at a favorable decision quickly because until a wholesale building program is launched those who are not fortunate enough to own thcir homes must submit to persecution by grasping landlords.
 If certain landlords persist in r2a- ing their rents to prOhibitiVc prices a method must bo found for getting at their ill-gained wealth. It might bc desirable to amend tho taxing rc%u- lations SO that tho assessors might property and assess it accordingly.

LETTING JONES DO TT.

If tho telephone operators wish to strike because of working conditions or because they believe their wages should be increased they have the privilege of doing so. It would be the part of wisdom, however, to assign sufficient operators to branch stations for elnergcncy duty. Cities in which strikes occur should not be deprived of communication with police and fire headquarters. Wire service to hos pitals and with physicians should also be maintained. It is essential that property be protected from destruction by fire, that life be protected against law breakers and that the sick have modern facilities for keeping in touch with physicians.
