EDUCATION WILL BE HIT UPON AS
 LATEST REFORM

London, Nov. 20.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) The Labor Party in tends to make educational reforms one of the problems to which it's leg islators will direct attention during the forthcoming session of Parlia- nent. %N
 Some provisions of the Education Act of 1918 have reused opposition from labor representatives in the House of Commons. Chief among these is authority given local officials to recognize works schools organ ized by private firms and conducted on the firms premises which are ap- proved in the act as offering .'suitable and efficient part-time instruction" '" These schools are designed for boys and girls between fourteen and six teen years of age.
 Labor Party representatives object that they may mean that instruction there Twill be biased by the com mercial interests of the firm conduct ing them" 4 demand is also made that instruction, as far as possible, shall be in the morning hours, 1t be- ing contended that cit is useless to compel boys and girls to attend school when they are tired out by a days york;
 their party's stand on this subject prominent among their campaign ar- guments.

MORE DISTRICTS PLACED ON WAR
 TIME RATIONS

Chicago, Nov. 20-Regiona1 direc- tors of railroads today had a free hand in dealing with curtailment of non-essential industrial and unneces- sary passenger traffic and extraordin- ary efforts to conserve and distribute the nations steadily diminishing coal supply were being made. Under that authority, granted by Walker T.. Hines, Federal Director General of Railroads, after a two day conference with the seven regional directors, the entire south, east of the Mississippi. and south of the Ohio rivers, except for a small area in the Pocahontas region, today had been placed on a war time ration basis and annullment of trains in addition to the 146 al-. ready taken off was under considera- ton.
 Other drastic action looking toward reserying the available supply for es- sential industries, public utilities and dom mestic consumers included stopping deliveries to all non essential indus tries in Cleveland and deliveries in Omaha, Neb., only on written appli- cation approved by the local coal committee
 Except in West Virginia fields, upon which it was announced the
 
 absolutely necessary requirements, there was little hope today for in creased production. The majority of the 425,0 bituminous miners who went on strike nearly three weeks ago maintained their disposition to disregard the strike recall order issued by their acting president under direc- ton of the federal court and to await developments from the miners-opera- tors conference at Washington
 ''The United States court at Fargo, North Dakota, had issued a decree that apparently would lead to restor- ation of the mines to their private owners. No state court has yet acted to change the situation brought about by the governors action in seizing the Ignite mines and ordering them op- erated by the state. Application for an injunction in the state courts to restrain the governor is scheduled to be heard at Bismarck, N. D., today. The federal court order to show cause is returnable November 24.''
 The first troop movement into a coal field since the first days of the strike was reported from Wyoming. Thirty soldiers were sent to Winton, Wyo., where a, small group of alleged alien miners armed with rifles stopped American and naturaized workers from returning to the pits.

PUBLIC UTILITIES IN CONNECTICUT
 IN GOOD SHAPE
Statement By Higgins Be- fore State Commerce
 Chamber.

New Haven, Nov. 20.---Manufactur-
 CTS of Connecticut have nothing to fear from competitors in other locali-
 ties in the opinion oe Professor W. F.
 Robb, of Rennselaer Polytechnic In
 stitute, who addressed the Connecti- cut Chamber of Commerce today. He
 based his opinion from the viewpoint
 of power ample in quantity, highly
 reliable and produced at minimum
 cost. He said, however. that it was
 essential that power producers and
 power consumers keep up with the
 rapid advancement that is being made
 almost daily in power production,
 transmission, distribution and utiliza-
 tion, and to take full advantage of
 the states location on the Sound and
 a great naviga!ble river.
 Richard T. Higgins, chairman of the
 Public Utilities Commission, speaking g
 at a group meeting, said that public utilities in Connecticut, except trans
 portation companies, are in good con-
 Gition and making honest efforts to
 serve the public. He discussed the
 condition of transportation compan- ies, giving statistics as well. He said that federal trustees of the Con necticut Co. receive more than twice
 as much compensation for supervising that corporation than does the Utili- ties Commission for supervising III service corporations in the state. He said that when railroads are return ed to private ownership a system should be made which would eIirnin- ate conflict of supervisory authority between the federal and state com missions.
 He said it was futile to dfstntegrate trolley lines and place parts of them | under municipal control. They can | not now be divided without injury | to the whole. No attempt to supply i service in cities by other means than I tro1leys was absurd, in his opinion l because it would mean greater con- l gestion of traffic, more inconvenience
 and more grumbling As to labor 1 MT. Higgins believed it should not | be lawful for railroad or railway em- | ployes to interrupt service because | they are, from officers down, public servants. Of the factors of capital l labor and the public, MT. Higgins said that capital alone is receiving nc return.
 l If dispute arises a legal tribuna 1 should have opportunity to investi- i gate and adjust the grievances. A 1 penal sentence, he believed should be l possible to punish any one would l jeopardize the rights of the public tc I transportation.
 ] Of the taxing system in Connecti- l cut, MT. Higgins said it was unjust 1 and continued it would tax public | service corporations into the hands l of receivers. Supervision of rates by | the government, if just, makes it also | just that the governing powers should 1 set the wage rate. MT. Highs criti cized public service corporations ir | not attending to minor complaints The public be damned" policy of the l past still fingers in the minds of the | public and, MT. Higgins declared 1 must be eradicated by honest effor 1 now if companies are to survive.
