WHIGVILLE WATER
 IS NOT PURIFIED

In answer to query. as to why the water running into Shuttle Meadow reservoir from the Whigville dam, had not been chlorinated as was or dered by the state deputy commits sioner, Dr. T. Eben Reeks, Chairman w. B. RosSberg of the board of Wal ttr commissioners, admitted this morning that the only reason was the difficulty in getting the members of the board together for a meeting. He admitted, as did Superintendent Stockwell of the local board of health, that while the matter was be- ing delayed through this cause, the health of 65,0O0 residents of New Britain was being jeopardized daily
 pr. Rocks Criticizcs Board
 The matter Of the chlorination of the water came up last night at a meeting of the health commission and when informed by Superintend- cnt StoclweH that he had received no answer to his communication sent the water board on November l. Dr. Reeks berated that commission ac- cusinG it of laNity in it's work. The chlOrinatiOn process is made neces- sary by the fact that the water after leaving Whigville, which is the property of this city, and in which the water tested shows good stand- l ards, runs through farm land not l owned by the city and over which New Britain has no control. There l is a grave possibility that in passing 1 through this pasture land and tracts used for other purposes, the superin- tendent explains, that the water may become contaminated, making it un- I To make the water really fit for use, it should stand in a large reservoir to have the sun and bacteria act uron | it, but as the conditions now are, the water is in the city pipes for con- sumption within A hours after it passes through the farms.
 | Machinery Stands Idlc.
 Superintendent Stockwen called upon Chairman Rossberg this morning | to carry out the order of his commits I sion. He explained that the danger i of an epidemic of typhoid make it 1 imperative that this matter be attend i ed to as soon as possible. The ap- 1 paratus for this process has been standing idle near the reservoir. The water board seems to be divided upon the proposition of chlorination, two of the members being openly opposed 10 that method of purifying the water. i Dr. Reeks in the course of his re- marks yesterday said
 Dr. Reeks' Statement
 Just because two members of the
 water board do not favor chlorina-
 tion of water is no reason why the
 entire city should be exposed to ty-
 phoid and I, as citizen, do not want
 10 drink the water If others knew , of the conditions and were familiar
 with the danger they would be justi-
 fled in criticizing us and I think we
 are bound to protect the health o1 ] the community and should go at this 1 thing at Once.''

REVOLT ONLY WAY
 TO CUT OFF FUEL
Nothing But Such Chaotic Conditions Will Prevent People Receiving Their Supply, He Adds.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Spea king with the authority of President Will sons cabinet Fuel Administration Garfield told representatives of the bituminous coal operators and miners here today that l''the people of the United States need. must have, and will have coal" and as long as the government stands they will not be prevented from getting it by 'any- thing the operators or miners may do'
 Dr Garfield explained that his pur- pose was to furnish the conference with the data which he would use in determining what wage advances, if any, agreed to by the operators and miners could be borne properly by the public. Represents the People
 T represent the people of the United States in different sense from the secretary of la bor,'' Dr. Garfield said. Tt is part of Mr. Wilson's function to effect concitia-. tion. It is nay function to exercise those powers conferred on the fuel administration; to see that an ade- quate supply of coal is furnished the people of the United States and to see that in times of stress such as we still are unhappily in the midst of, the prices asked and received for coal are not excessive
 we all realize now that in the great coal industry the public is a partner At one time the operators and mine workers, like farmers, con- sidered themselves peculiarly inde- pendent. But the public. has a para mount interest.
 No Excessive Prices.
 ''The people of the United States will not consent to pay. an excessive price for coal. We are all, agreed to that, but the question now is what is an excessive price?' Nor will the pub lie agree to go without this commod- ity. "The people of the United States need, must have, and will have coal, and they will not be prevented by any thing the operators and miners may do unless the government is dissolved into a chaotic condition.
 "The people of the United States are willing to pay sufficient to main- tain American standards but what are American standards |? The people want the operators to have a just return but what is a just re- turn? ?" ~.>
 = Dr. Garfield said he was not yet pre- pared to say what changes could req sonably be made in the price of coal, as all the necessary data was not in hand. One of the items not vet de- termined, he said, was that of the fed , eraI income taxes for 1918, which the operators have claimed should be in = cluded in the cost of operation. The government has disputed this.
 scales Committees Meet.
 Scale committees of bituminOus miners and operators in the centra competitive field went into executive session today to negotiate a wage con tract after Federal Fuel Administrator .

 Immediately after converting, tn operators and miners decided to con tinue their negotiations through a sub {, committee of from each side. Dr. Garfield expressed regret tha the operators and miners had not es

General Freight Embargo Is Not Necessary, Hines Says-Activitics of Reds in Curtailing Production to Be Stopped by Force.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The growing menace of the coal situation was the subject today of further discussion by Walker D. Hines, federal director general of railroads, and seven re- gional directors. Possible action talked about included a further re- duction in passenger train service and shutting off coal from non-essential industries.
 Coal Supply Vanishing.
 Meanwhile, reports from virtually all sources were of a vanishing sup ply of soft coal, as the approximately 100000 miners remained firm in their disposition to await announcement of an agreement by the -1r<rsluy dead locked miners-opsaA anference at Washington. sN 4~ xz-asat union mines, only West Virginia reported an appreciable amount of fuel brought out, it being said 75 per cent. of the mines in that state were being operated.
 War Upon Radicals.
 An immediate prospect of 8 declar- ation of military control in the mining g districts of Iowa, with state operation of mines; a strike of returned miners in Wyoming said to have been due mainly to activities of radicals, and withdrawal of federal troops from West Virginia marked main develop ments in the mining districts, during the past 24 hours. Use of state sol dlers in Wyoming was threatened b. the governor unless efforts of radicals to intimidate miners who desired t0 work ceased.
 The regional directors generally in- formed MT. Hines that the railroads had sufficient fuel for several days the statement of the Central We ;t director being an exception. No Freight aEmbargo. 3

ALL DEPARTMENTS
OF THE GOVERNMENT
HELPS BUILD NOW

Since the day when the armistice
was signed, all government depart
ments have been doing all in their
power to speed up construction work,
realizing that the need for buildings
and the variety of industries reached
made this the greatest field for stab
iizing the country.
Before he retired, Secretary Nc
Adoo stated that he regards the re-
vival of the construction industry as
essential to the country's welfare in
its transition from war to peace
basis.
The department of labor has or
ganized the information and educa-
ton service department to do con-
structive work in stimulating build
ing activity and effect resumption
of pre-war activity in the shortest
possible time.
At the same time, the government
has announced that the large stocks
of materials which it holds will not
be dumped on the market, realizing
that such a course would probably
break prices and result in chaos. AS
a result, the materials market is
steady and investors can proceed
with knowledge that the government
aims to protect industry labor and
those who put their money to work
establishing the country.

APPEALS TO ADVERTISING
TO SPUR BUILDING WORK
BY PRIVATE PARTIES

/ Builders who are waiting for con-
| tracts for public works and relying
! upon such contracts to put industry
| back on its feet are making a griev-
Gus error in the estimation of Sena-
| tor William A. Calder of New York,
who spoke recently before the Ma
| .tional Federation of Construction In
dustries.
Government construction" he
said, "can only help as a transition
| measure while private enterprise is
slowly recovering its confidence and
reabsorbing materials and labor. The
remedy is the encouragement of pri-
vate building which shall steadily
! and increasingly replace public con-
struction and as rapidly as possible
take over surplus labor and materiel
and establish the industry on a sound
economic basis.
THE immediate problem, there
fore, which confronts the building
industry is to find a means of en-
couraging private construction. Two
methods suggest themselves. First,
the cooperation of the government
should be secured, not only for the
development of large public work but
more fundamentally in the encour-
agement of private investment. Now
that the Objects or the war are
achieved and the time has come to
build up industry again, the govern
ment should counteract the depress-
ing effect of war measures upon cap
ital through publicity
Senator Calders' suggestion that the
government should utilize publicity to
recreate confidence in construction as
a most profitable line of investment
is already being followed and the
department of labor has organized a
division of public works and con-
struction development. Posters have
been prepared, publicity sent out, and
this newspaper is part answer to the
plea that it should be made easy for
builders and contractors to help re-
mold public opinion.
The entire burden cannot be thrust
upon the government-loca business
men who realize that the prosperity
and future of our city depend upon
the speed with which housing condi-
tons can be re-established, that i'm
mediate resumption of building OPP
erations will put money in the pock-
cts of everyone through the creation
of local prosperity, will gladly CO.
operate in this advertising plan.
