New London. May 2S-There has been no increase in the number ot long, haired long-bearded, or unshaven men in New London since the barbers went on strike for more weekly pay to share profits with the master bar bers. to form a one-side partnership, to share the gross profits and bear none of the expenses. The master bar bers are at work at the old stands and are making expenses, if not much profit, and have not raised the sched- ule of prices. which is another de- mand of the striking shavers. In some shops the master Darbers have as- sistants satisfied with the prevalent wages and shop conditions, but un- fortunately these assistants are said not to be up to the high standard at tained by barbers who are part of organized labor; no. not even if they hold state license as being fully qual- flied, and work in shops that have all the required sanitary accessories, ana more.
 The laborer, surely is worthy of his hire, but the employe ought to be given just a litale bit of consideration, and be entitled to as much emolument as any of the employees plus that what is invested in business and what IS required to properly conduct the business, with just a little bit of pro- fit added. Employees are going long distance when specification is made as to the prices the master barbers are to charge for the work done in their own shops.
 The striking barbers state, however, that the advance in prices will go a long way towards paying the in creases demanded. That is, these union barbers demand from their af- ffliated union members, and others, fifty cents for a hair cut and twenty five cents for a shave. If they do not come across cheerfully the barbers may claim the fellow unionists are not true to union principles. It Is said that the strikers contemplate opening true union shops and charge the rates that are now demanded of the

Some 92 per cent of the total produc- tion is grown in 4.le northern island (Hokkaide9 ,ailich has an average yearly rainfall of abouts38 inches and mean summer and winter temperat- ures of about 70 deg. F. and P deg. lf., respectively. The remaining per cent is grown on the main island | (Okayama and Hiroshima), where the rainfall is 42.5a inches and the aysf- age temperatures 75 deg. F. and 9S tdeg. F.
 The mint according to United
 States commercial report, requires a i light, drained soil. The roots
 are planted Gin Hiroshima and Oka- l yama) at the end of November and i the beginning of December. The plant attains its full growth during i the summer months, and is cut in the latter part of July during August and in the early part of September three cuttings being made during the 1 season.

 plants f.5n Japan into the Unitet i States, but so far unsuecessfully, a!
 they cannot stand the voyage. Meas I ures are now being taken to obtain

 And this century of commercial de- velopment" added the lecturer, lis only the beginning of great things in international trade. The steamship has grown from carrying capacity of 300 tons by the Savannah in 1919 to more than 30,0o0 tons by the large steamships of today and some of the big vessels have. recently transported our soldiers from Europe carried more than 12,00O persons on single voyage. The length of world railway lines has grown from 200 miles in 1880 to 725,000 miles at the present time and the carrying power of the freight car from about 5 tons per car l in the early days of railroad operation to 30 tons per car at the present time. The telegraph lines have grown from 5000 miles of wire and the cables from 1,500 miles in 1860 to 355,000 miles at the present time. The tele- graph lines have grown from 500o miles in 1S40 to 100000 miles of line
 and 6,000,0Oo miles of wire and the
 cables from 1,500 miles in 1860 tc
 S55,000 miles at~the present time The
 number of telephones in use in the i United States alone has advanced from about oo,000 in 1880 to 12,000, ,000 al
 the present time and approximately
 20000000 the world over. and the
 length of the telephone wires is fai
 greater than that of the telegraph. the l United States alone having over 20. l 000,000 miles and~the whole world ap- tproximately 40,o00,00O miles"

of New York That message, What hath God wrought which was trans. mitted between Washington and Bal itmore in 1S44 on the inauguration of another American device, the telegraph by it's American inventor, Samuel Finley Morse, has been applicable to mnay wonderful devices in aid of commerce in the century between the first, transatlantic steamship and the first trans oceanic f1iers, both of them American"
 "The Savannah continued the lecturers, constructed by an American ship builder in New York city, with engines built in New Jersey and com manded by an American navigator, left Savannah on May 26, 1919, ar irving in Liverpool June 20 while just
 one century later-almost to the day an American aeroplane invented by an American, constructed in our work shops and operated by Americans
 made the first trans Atlantic flight
 Morse's device, the telegraph, was the second of the great American inven- tions in behalf of transportation, fol i the telegraph is as much transport l CT ina its way as is the steamship ol 1 the flying machine and has contribut- 7. ment of commerce during the century through the facility which it gives fol I instantaneous communication between seller and buyer the world over Quick l ly following this came another Ameri can triumph, in the ocean cable, ii which it became practii ble in 1858 tt send messages across the Atlantic anC | later under the oceans of the entire world. By 1876 still another American Alexander Graham Bell, had beei granted a patent for the telephone an(
 this was soon put into practical us' l for business and personal inter- com
 munication between individuals il leities and later between cities, thel
 across the American continent ant 1 finally across the ocean,"
 While railway transportation whicl
 has developed in the same century having been put in practical use i little later than the voyage of tn
 Savannah cannot be claimed as dis tinctly an American device, the con
 struetion of railways in the Unitet ! States began only three years late 1 than the Stockton and Darlington
 Railway in England. which is looked
 upon as the beginning of the stean
 railway system of the world. As t

 port that there was a bug light on his
 beat that failed to illuminate and he
 did not report the fact to his superior
 officers, and there are many of these
 in the police department as at present
 constituted. The commissioners pre- ferred the charges. gave the accused what they termed a fair and impar-
 tial hearing and, perhaps in order to facilitate, sat in judgment upon their own charges. Counsel for the COD eb- | jected to that sort of hearing and !, claimed that they were not within | their jurisdiction and that the hearing should be before the court of common | council.

 gramme, Corporal Counsel Hankey
 was present to aid in, the prosecution, ! and he called to his assistance another | attorney, and no doubt at the expense | of the city. Perhaps the committee may report it's findings to the court of l common council, feeling confident that | their findings and recommendations will be accepted by that body of rep resentative citizens.
 It would seem, especially to the un- | initiated, that if there is ever to be a betterment in the police force. it is | about time that there was a general widening of action, and not have the committee, the captain. lieutenant, and | some selected cops continually en- gagged in an endeayor to get some thing on a cop who has given positive evidence of being one of the most competent members of the force, but who apparently does not stand in and the powers that be are deyotins all their energy to depose. or make it so unpleasant as to force him to resign Interested citizens hope that the time is near when mature men should abandon their childish idea. and do just little something, as city off cials, to advance the best interests of the city
