probably not a single one
where Karo is not served in some
manner-for breakfast, for dinner
or for supper.
During these days of high prices, Karo has
become another word for economy. Thou
sands of thoughtful housewives have learned
that Blue Label Karo is not only a delicious
spread for pancakes, but answers every pur-
pose where a sweet'is needed.
Instead of paying the present high prices
for jams, jellies and preserves-serve Blue
Label Karo on sliced bread, toast, pancakes
or waffes.

The Political Prisoners in Dannemora, N Y.

Reports of discrimination against Larkin,
Gitlow, Winitsky and Alonen, the political prison.
ers confined at Dannemora were of such nature
that the National Defense Committee sent its
attorney to investigate. The attorneys statement
corroborates in every detail what was charged
against the prison authorities, who according to
their own word, are acting on instructions from
the State.
Larkin is man Of tremendous vital energy. His
cell is in the old of the pris
on. He works in the cotton shop-the worst in the
whole prison. where he winds spoos of thread He
must breathe the air laden with cottondust. Men
are sent to that shop as punishment. 1t takes
only two years for man to contract tuberculosis.
The officials are endeavorng to get Larkin to.
say or do something for which they may punish
him. He has been expressly told that if he does
not work to the satisfaction of certain officials,
he will NOT LEAVE THE PRISON ALIVE! He
merely replied 81 am not in prison for pleasures
sake" 81
Larkin Looks Years Older
Gitlow is taking his term in prison very phil
osophicaly, never relaxing in his ideals. LarRnS
sense of social injustice is so intense that the
treatment of prison life causes him more suffer
ing than all the insults OF bad physical conditions
He continually finds things to provoke outbursts
of Indignation, as for instance, the dnner-tabe,
which is nicely painted on the side that visitors
to the prison see, but actually stinks on the side
on which the prisoners eat. The milder treatment
of degenerate professional criminals in compari-
son with that accorded men of respectable cha
racter; the graft, pull and politics are such as to
outrage his sense of justice. Larkn's hair has
turned white, and he looks several years older
than when he went to prison, less than three and
a half months ago..
1t is the obvious intention of the government
to crush these men.-Now, what did the do?
They fought and worked for new social
ideal They investigated. They questioned. They
found wealth and the control of all the means of
producing wealth. such as factories, mines, rail

ways etc., in the hands of few people. They
found the great mass of the workers unable to
provide for their families, so that their wives and
children had to assist in earning living They saw
a body of idlers on the one hand, who never earn
ed and never would earn penny, yet had money
in plenty to spend They saw children of to 13
years forced to labor; women, even married wo-
men forced to prostitute themseves-to provide
enough to live on. They saw that the great labor
class received job only if the boss gave it to
them-and he gave it to them, only if he could
make profit out of them.
Why They Became Agitators
They lived through the great war and saw
fortunes piled up on the colpses of millions Of
men, forced to prostitute themseves-to provide
go up faster so that the workers, in spite of the
so-called prosperity, were worse off than be-
fore They saw that workers we're forced to strike
for laws could not and would not be passed to i'm
prove the position of the working class. They saw
that strikes do not help the workers. since the
cost of living advances above what they gain.
This was because the bosses, the capitalists, con-
troll the means of production
They saw that the municipal, State and Fed
era governments interfered in strikes by legisla-
tion injunctions by the use of the press, school
and the pulpit and finally by the use of troops
So these four men decided that THE WHOLE
THING WAS WRONG AND HAD TO BE
CHANGED.
They agitated for change, to put-the cor
troll of the workers lives and livlhood their cosl-
fort and wel-being in the hands of the workers,
They argued that a worker, manual and mental IS
entitled to living. They demanded that every
human being render social service and that no
one live on the work of others.
They challenged the present order of things.
They challenged the whole capitalist system
They challenged the government which, as the
workers have learned only too well, is in the hands
Of the capitalists.

At $ 5 A Ton
 Reasonable Is Ruling

William F. Whitmore, federal fair price commissioner for Connecticut, as a result of an inquiry to determine whether $15 a ton for anthracite coal is justified and may be consid- cred reasonable under the Lever Act, has concluded that at the present time a charge of $15 a ton for an thracite coal in domestic sizes, de- livered in bags at consumers houses is not unreasonable. The commis- sioner recently asked several of the prominent coal dealers to submit figures showing the cost to them of the coal and it's distribution. It is on the result of this informal inquiry that the commissioner bases his con .clusion.
 The hearings by Commissioner Whitmore were held in the office of United States Attorney Edward l.. Smith, and Thomas W. Russell, mem Der of the fair price -cnmmi ttee. and formerly fuel administrators for tf1is

/ CEN RATE NO
 HELP
With the Jitney Com petitors Bridgeporters Do Not See How the Company's Proposal Will Solve the Traffic Problem in This City.

The seven cent flat rate which the Connecticut company has requested will be of doubtful value in solving the traffic problem in this city if the Connecticut company carries out it's threat to stop trolley service on the streets of Bridgeport next Monday according to the discussion of the proposition throughout the city.
 Most of the persons interviewed failed to see where the patronage of the. trolleys would incr ease when pa irons would have to pay seven cents for ride on the trolley cars when they can obtain the same service on the jitney busses for five cents.
 According to the common interpre- tation of the wording of the proposi- tion the Connecticut company pro- poses to carry passengers to any place within the city limits that is not more than three miles from the cen ter of the city for seven cents.
 In outlying towns like Milford it is figured that the new system would mean an additional increase. Origi- nally the fare to Milford was ten cents, then 1t was raised to 12 cents, when the original zone syst l was inaugurated the fare was boosted to 24 cents and under the ruling of the Public Utilities Commission the rates now in force call for B cents on a cash basis and 22 cents by the zone ticket Under the latest proposition of the Connecticut it is figured that the fare will be 2S cents cash, as ii will be four zones.

ST TANLEY IN ANOTHER
 DENIAL
Says He Believes Suckley Referred to the Whole Board - Reiterates That He Had No Thought of Getting Cronan.

President John c. Stanley of the Board of Police Commissioners em-
 phatically denied this morning that he ever instructed former Assistant
 Superintende of Police Charles H.
 Suck1ey to 'get'' ex-Captain Edward
 o. Cronan of the detective bureau, as
 was intinrated by the former officer
 when he recently told nlmission CTS
 Primrose, Murphy and Anderson that
 he did not mean them when he an
 nounced that he was instructed by
 someone to .'get'' the detective chief.
 Whether Suck1ey said commission
 CTS" or commissioner in his fare
 well address to officers of the police department, on July 15, now seems to
 be the bone of contention on which the entire matter is resting. At any rate, Suckley cleared Anderson, Mur- phy and Primrose at the meeting which was held Wednesday afternoon at the E.il1s' club, and Stanley has put forth his own defense in the following g statement which he issued today. MT. Stanley said:
 "It was not my privilege to be pres ent at the meeting July 18th, so that I cannot, of my own knowledge, say just what was said by MT. Sucllley; l but, from the statements of some ot the men present, and the account ot what he sad, as IL appeared Tn the press, which was taken by men train ed by long experience to report ac- curately what speakers say on such occasions, and three gentlemen of the press, all from different papers, re- ! ported the same words and printed same as t'Police Commissioners and 'the board"
 'It does not seem possible thai they all could be mistaken in quot | ing what was said, and I naturally as- | sumed they were correct. If they were not correct, as is now claimed 1 it is squarely up to the press of this | city to make a retraction of the pre- 1 vious staten ents.''|

FEDERAL AGENTS
 SAW NO HEARSE

The New York and other papers published a story this morning of federal agents in Seymour raiding a hearse which was solemnly proceed ing through Seymour streets and find ing several quarts of whiskey in the hearse. Now the hearse, according to the story, was not part of a fun eral. It was just a plain detached hearse and with the driver on the seat was a man dressed as a clergy man with a prayer book in his hands. And. the story said, the whiskey was confiscated and the driver and his companion were arrested.
 Twas a good story-a fine story but-the revenue agents and the sur prised official of Seymour say it was a lie. But it was a good story.
