WHAT RADICALS ARE DOING.

There is no assurance even now that any more success can be obtain- ed in an endeavor to secure anti- strike legislation in congress, but it cannot failvto be appreciated that there is nothing which turns thought in that direction and creates more advocates for just such action than the character of he strikes that are now causing distress and trouble throughout the country.
 The detefmination to disregard all authority, to consider a contract a scrap of paper, to show no respect for others who are depending upon the public utility they. serve and to dis play willingness that much greater numbers should be thrown out of en- ploynent and even suffer from the lack of food is what has been getting more and more support for the idea ei adopting legislation that would make it unlawful to strike.
 Regardless of the fact as to whether this is a movement - for "ene biz union" or contest between two fac. tions of the railroad employees of the country for supremacy, there is nc Justification for the steps that have been taken. Deception Appears tc have been one of the things resorted to by the radicals in getting men tc leave their jobs but throughout it al in whatever moves have been made there has been an utter disregard fol the effect that it would have upor others not directly connected with tn, | railroads, but greatly debenden 1 thereon. -
 This disposition to get by force ant hardships thrown upon others wha is unjustified and cannot be obtainet by an adjustment based upon fact will produce drastic legislation i anything will, and the growing men ace of the radical element in all direc tions Is bringing this to attention in way that cannot be overlooked. It i therefore plain what the better ele
 ment of labor needs to do for it's owi protection. 7

SAVING DAYLIGHT.

Right in accord with .what was to be expected is the announcement by The New Haven road to the effect that it will adopt advance time on its sys- tenn April % in conformity with the law which has been passed in the state of Massachusetts and in keep ing with the sentiment which has al- ready been expressed in the cities of this state.
 This provides a basis for action which will mean that practically all of the large communities in Connec- ticat will put daylight saving regula- tions into effect on that date. Those which adopted advance time and tenn porarily rescinded their action will find conditions in accord with their desires and those which have been de- laying action until it could be ascer- tained whether there was to be uni form action have no reason now for further delay. They can and doubt less will proceed to make their ar ranrements. The decision of the rail- road has apparently been reached as the result Of the Massachusetts law and the known sentiment in this state. while New York is already op- ernting under the advanced time.
 Even as the sentiment in this par or the country has been sufficient tC bring about state laws and as the re- cult of those laws a rearrangemen of railroad timetables, it seems i'm. probable that it will not have it's in. fiuenee upon the legislature of Rhodi Island, in which state sentiment il strong for daylight saving. but wher the measure threatens to be tied up il q senate committee. With the rail road running under advanced time i seems that no community can we'll ex pect to hang to standard time and ge along without serious confusion, whil

rhs Interchureh Movsment.

MT. Editor: J l is refreshing to see in your paper that Stafford man has the courage to express what is the truth about all this intefchurch push, which is being now made by peopae who, indeed, might be better employ
 ed.
 One would have expected that on the conclusion of a, terrible war, with the serious lessons it yielded, that the churches would have seen the neees- sity of more spiritual work in re- claiming the people from folly and sin, and the making more effective, 10 rthe purposes of the gospel of Christ, the several branches of His chureh-each ill it's particular sphere. Instead of this it appears now that a proposed tumble of different de- nominations formed with no clearly
 accentuated ultimate, represeatz l the future ideal of church work. There
 are always in every church those 1 who, rather than buckle down to 1 the work already on their hands, itch for new combinations and new at- 1 tempts in untried fields, on the pre-
 text of doing what they are pleased 1 to- term "A larger and a broader work" when the fact is that they | are failing to do the work they haVi l already pledged themselves to per. form, and are discreditilg the faith. fal work of their predecessors. Nor

 Some presidents owe their election to their friends. Perhaps as many more are indebted to their enemies.
 William Henry Harrison belongs in this latter category. By questioning and belittling his military victories, his critics succeeded only in magnify ing them. By sneering at him as man more iitted to adorn log cabin than the White House, they gave him a popular symbol for his candidacy and made him the representative of the primitive west.
 k The first popular resentment for the sights placed upon this frontier gen erai after the war of 1912 resulted in his election to congress from Ohio which state afterward sent him to the senate. But he cut a small figure ir either house. Although President Johr Quincy Adams made wry face at hin as "a political adventurer" of shallow mihd." whose thirst for lucrative of fee is absolutely rabid." he appointed him minister to Colombia, but the in coming Jackson administration promptly recalled him from his remot'

THE LABOR BOARD.

The appointment by the president of the railway labor board made up of, three representatives each for the employees, the employers and the pub lie completes the machinery created under the new railroad legislation for adjusting the disputes that arise over. wages.
 Unfortunately there has been delay In the naming of the board for there was business of the character it must handle waiting to be disposed of when the roads were turned back to the owners by the government the first of March. Immediately thereafter there were efforts made through meetings of the representatives of the men and the roads but it was impos- kibie to reach a decision since the roads felt the matter of too great importance for a direct agreement without having the matter carried to the labor board on which the public has representation. Delay in getting the matter before the board has been increased because there was no board but now that it has been named it is to be supposed that there will be speedy attention given to the demand for in=aased wages.
 The e1sekion that has prevailed for the past several weeks has beer such as to give the promoters of th' outlaw strike very fertile ground or which to SOW their seeds of dissensior tor quick fruition. But with tht brotherhoods standing by their agree nents and urging their men to bt governed by reason and common sense the naming of the board shoult have it's influence in not only pre- venting others from entering the out law organization but of bringing bacl many of those who are already out It gives them an opportunity to ge under cover and particularly thos who have been encouraged into hast action by those who are misrepresent Ing the brotherhoods through fals credentials.
 The labor board will have plenty C 2 business even as the interstate com merce commission but it's usefulnes in handing out a square deal is goin z to be put to the test right from tn start.

CABINET SESSIONS REsumEo.

The resunaption of cabinet meetings at the cali of President wilson it is to be hoped means that his condition is steadily improving. It is new many months since the cabinet has been in session at the call of, the president It is the first tfTie that the cabinet has met as at present con- stituted and it is pfebab.u that it would not now have Seen eaflet t6- gether but for the strike situssioi and the possibility of federal action De- ing required to meet it. Whether it is therefore just the emergency that has made the step necessary or q really improved condition which will permit it and others to be held will erobably have to be determined by develop ments. s,
 But it cannot fail to be appreciated nevertheless that it is time that the administration heads got to yether for the formation of policy, or the con- '. .sideration of plans, for dealing witt the strike situation. In view of what has gone before there are reasons fol believing that had the president no been able to sit in the cabinet meet. ing, as was the case. during the latte part of last year, there would hay, been none called for in view Of tn, way in which MT. Lansing was busted none would have dared to conside the national need before the will o the chief executive.
 Yet there were situations whicl were quite as threatening during tn time MT. Lansing was having infor nal cabinet meetings as is the pres ent one. That there is need for

Many Taxpayers Are Livins On Same
 or Less Than Teachers Get,

1T Less nan teaCH0FS 0SIs
 Mr. Editor: Many of the Norwich teachers claim they can not live on twenty-five dollars a week. Many of the taxpayers Of Norwich are living on that sum, and even less, and are supporting a family Oh it. Of course, a teacher can't live on it when she wants to drive to school in her own auto, wear the costliest. of silks Afur coats, and the like, and keep np all the ice cream pariors in the city. To my thinking, most of the teachers of Norwich look very. well fed and cet- 1 tainiy well dressed on their present salaries.
 I understand that some of the old CT teachers of Norwich, who have not joined the new league, but who have served Norwich faithfully and well in years gone by, who have given up many extra hours to school work, are being ostracized by, the newer ele- | ment in the league, many of whose leading lights have taught just tWt or three years Is this the spirit oi | fairness and justice that is being in- culcated in the minds of the pupils in their classrQoms? If so, let then resign and go into the factories.
 Several years ago, when certain munitions factory was booming, dur. i Ing summer vacation a number 0. teachers entered to "do their bit" Hov long did they last? I don't recall on,
 teacher who preferred a stay in tn, factory when school opened in tn fall .
 The same members of the ieagu want to go to school with the children
 and leave them. Ask them to put fl
 an extra hour a day for special work
 and hear the cry of protest that vii go up! Besides, a teacher choose
 her profession Git isn't forced on her1 I and if she does not like the salar
 she is at liberty to change and 2
 elsewhere or do something else. Hoy
 many have done that lately here i I Norwich?
 They are willing to accept tn
 backing of the American Federatie
 of Labor. but it wasn't so long az
 that some teachers looked down on
