COMPANY STORE NOT LIKED
Federal Commissioner Davis Says
Workers Want It Changed Into
Cooperative Affair.

Transformation of the familiar
company store" operated in cennec-
ton with industrial plants into a CO.
operative institution in which workers
may share in the profits was declared
to be one Of the best stabilizers Of
labor by Hymel Davis, federal com
missioner Of Cancellation. appearing
before the United States senate com
mittee on reconstruction and produc-
ton in session in New York.
He asserted that the "antipathy OF
workers against company stores is
based on the belief that they are Civ
ing back the bosses part Of their earn
ings by way Of added profits"
With this idea eradicated. he said,
and an institution established where
by lahorers may expect dividends, the
migratory habits Of labor, especially
among the miners of the Vest will be
materially checked.
Discussion of the cooperative store
plan was in connection with the sen
ate committees investigation into the
postal savings system with a view to
its possible revision. Mr.. Davies told
the committee that his many years ex-
perieucc with miners showed the same
antipathy existing against company
banks and that the men would wei
come the opportunity to deposit thelr
savings with the government.

RAIL LOSSES
GROWN Great
Fifth Month of Private
Operation Makes
Bad Record

In a summary issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission it is
shown that the major railroads of
the country recorded a deficit of So
653 APO in operating for the month
of July, compared with an operating
income of s80,325,481 in July, 1919,
when the roads were under Govern
ment operation. This shows a diff
ference of $86,978,901 in favor Of
Government operation, notwithstand-
ing the gross revenues of the roads
for July, 1920, greatly exceeded the
previous year.
Operating revenues of the roads for
the month amounted to $528, 1872, 1886,
compared with $455,2so,142 in July,
1919. Operating expenses totaled
511, 733,30O, against $358,891,81 for
July Of last year. While estimated
wage accruals under the decision of
the Railroad Labor Board, included
in July expenses, is given as $780,
l41 1889, this does not account for the
big difference of expenses under pri-
vate management as compared with
Government operation.
Operating income of the roads of
the Western district for July amount
ed to $11,726,178, while in the Eastern
district there was a deficit of 49,
791 ,391, and in the Southern district
a deficit of $3,720,896.
Thus it is very evident that pri-
vate management is not making good,
even with the special privileges pro-
vided in the Cummins-Esch law.

 Lightning Creates Scare.
 The electrical storm of last evening while not severe generally, threw a scare into passengers at the East Der lin depot. During the course of the storm the lightning struck the cleo tric wires near the station. causing the electric light bulbs within the station to break, the glass falling to the station floor. No explanation could be assigned for the peculiar manner in which the lightning caused the bulbs to break. It is thought, however, that the brass casing about the glass was melted by the terrific heat generated, resulting in the breaking of the bulbs. The station was plunged into sudden darkness as the consequence.
 Library Campaign to Open.

POLICEMEN ON TRIAL
Chief Rawlings Will Prefer Charges Against Officers Souney, CabcIus and WalincziuS.

Chief William T. Rawlings of the police department said today that he would prefer charges of conduct un- becoming officers against William Souney, Anthony c. Waiinczius and Peter Cabelus and that the case of the three officers would be taken lfn at a meeting of the board of police commissioners. Chairman P F. King said today that this meeting will be held next Tuesday night. The pre- dicament that the officers are con- fronted with is the aftermath of the case of Frank Hahn. who was re- gently dropped from the department for conduct unbecoming an officer Hahn was found in a house on Flor ence street early one morning in May and was brought to the station in the patrol after a complaint had been made that burglars were in the eel lar of the house.
 At the police station he gave a story about being on police business having received information that a "stilr'' was being maintained in the place. The story was not accepted as being probable. There was testimony during the subsequent hearings in the officers case that tended to show that the three officers who are now facing a hearing knew more about the case than they told the commits sioners. At the conclusion of the last meeting of the board. Chairman King gave out the statement that these three officers all told the same stor~ as Hahn and which was en- tfrely different than that told by Off, ficer H. c. Lyon.
 Chief Rawlings today said that his filing of charges was based on mis- information that the three officers gave at tho hearings.

The question of erecting a Junior High school in Berlin to accommo- date about a hundred pupils who wish 10 extend their education beyond d grammar school training. will not be the only subject of discussion at the next school board meeting. It was learned this morning that several of the teachers in the four schools tn the town have announced their tn- tention of not returning to Berlin next season. This means that the school board has got to get busy and secure enough teachers for the com ing year and. with the great demand and high salaries offered teachers in other parts Of the state, the board has n hard problem to solve. Also the matter of relieving the present con- gestion in all of the primary schools will have to be brought up and given due consideration. None of the mem- bers of the school board have as yet made any statements as to what the board is to do regarding securing competent teaching staff. The mat ter of relieving the congestion in Ill nf the schools has been before the board for the past year and the only thing that can be done Is to build ad- ditions on to the present buildings.
 R. R. Showalter. superintendent of the schools of the town of Berlin, re- gently reported that the situation in Berlin Ia very bad and he has found it 6 hard proposition to accommods te all pupils who wished to enter the primary schools last year. From the present indications the number of pupils entering the schools next fall will be larger than last year and whore the children are to be put, he does not know. This matter must be taken up imm mediaHeiy and more room must be secured before September. The KensinEton Grammar school is crowded. The basement and recrea- ton rooms have been turned into school rooms and all availab bic space has boon taken. The only thing that remains is to have an addition made on the present building. If another story is added on the school Kensing- ton will be given four large rooms, which would Rccomm odnte tho in- crease for several years This same proposition may be applied to the East Berlin school where conditio IS are also bad.
