INTIMIDATION BILL
(Continued from First Page.)

and representatives of the Consumers League appeared in favor the measure and urged it on grounds of public health and morals. It provides living wage of a minimum in keeping with the costs of living be provided for women and their hours in low paid industry so ar ranged as to protect their health.
 As usual MT. Goodhart was eloquent but went little out of his line in op- position and took under his wing, thousands of girls who would be un- able to qualify for the minimum wage and pleaded in their behalf. The meas ure, he declared to be another one of those insidious bills which if they be- came law would allow man to work for whom he pleases and when he pleases, " and he begged the committee not to all low any such gross liberties as that. He denied that the higher wage would increase the standard of morality, and Consumers League was the only or ganization which was backing this meas ure throughout the country.
 Immortality" he said, lis more preva- lent among those who have too much money, rather than among those who have too little money. And 1t Is so ev- V
 The measure for beers and light wines came in for some publicity during the week when Representative Palomba of Waterbury came out strongly Ill its fa- vor and declared ex-service men, farmers, and thousands of other lay men about the state were demanding some such stirnulant and refreshment. Petitions in favor of such a measure are pouring in from all parts of the state and are making such noise that the prohibition firm of Hohenthal- Spooner ct als Is kept scurrying about in frenzy to head it off. The bill sim ply asks that Congress be memorialized to allow light wines and beers, but the drys even object to that and are seek ing to have the state ratify the l8h amendment and pass an enforcement act similar but more drastic than the Vol stead act.
 The senate on Thursday passed law provided that T. O. U.'s", checks and gambling debts and held by banks were legal and could be collected, when the banks received them in ignorance of gambling debts. The House had all ready passed the bill so it became law with Governor Lakes signature.
 The jitney regulation bill struck snag in the Senate Thursday when on motion of Senator Delaney it was tabled temporarily. It put jitney service under control of the Public Utilities Commission and had been reported fav orably by MT. DeLaney's committee (the judiciary) and passed by the House. He offered no explanation of his mo- tion to table but it is generally under stood that the activity of the trolley company at hearing early in the week on bill giving it right to enter the jit- ney service, had something to do with it. The trolley-jitney service bill was favorably reported and it is possible that MT. Delaney and the committee may want to further extend the regulation law now that the trolley company evi- dently intends to enter in.

SAFETY TALKS To Be Given to Employes at Proc ter & Gamble Factory

The Procter & Gamble Company is starting the new year with the deter mlnation to make their accident record for 1921 even lower than the unusually low record which they attained in 1920.
 One of the important events scheduled for the coming months is a series of talks by MT. Victor T. Noonan, the well-known speaker who has been con- nected with the safety movement from its very beginning i'll this country
 Moonbeams, the Procter & Gamble paper which the employees publish twice month, IS also carrying some inter- esting articles on the subject of safety. The following, taken from an article in the January 14th issue, contains some good common sense thoughts on the subject that should be of interest and benefit to all workers throughout the country:
 What is the value of safety? That's a mighty difficult problem for the care full man to solve, but the careless man solves 1t, Tn a contrastive way. The careless man solves it by realizing, after an accident has befallen him, the cost of carelessness and in this manner he is able to appreciate the value of safety.
 One rarely realizes how fine it is to be well and healthy until he becomes sick and then he swears by all of the stars above that just as soon as he gets on his feet he is going to take care of himself and always be we'll.
 But he gets we'll again and soon he becomes careless, and then comes the time when he will have the opportunity to renew his VOW.
 If one will just carry out the rule of Safety First in his everyday life then he need not worry about being i'll or being forced to lay off because of an accident"

The An1un Theatrea
THE HYPERION.

Tomorrow afternoon and evening will see the last presentations of the splen- did comedy drama, That Girl Patsy" at the Hyperion, play which can be credited with furnishing real pleasure, just brimming with comedy, with a bit of pathos here and there and some mighty amusing scenes and situations coming with surprising rapidity throughout the play.
 For the coming week Mr. Poli will accede. to hundreds of requests made throughout the season and will stage a most elaborate revival of the great American melodrama, "The Third De- gree" written by the late Charles Klein, and really his masterpiece. "The Third Degret," as its name implies, deals largely with the method of questioning suspected criminal and at the time the play was written there was miles of newspaper controversy as between the police officials of New York, the press and the author. The police claimed that the inference of inquisition, the brow beating of suspected criminals and so on was all visionary while on the other hand scores of suspected criminals made affidavit that they were made to confess crimes which they never were really guilty of because they were tortured into confession. Whichever side was right the fact remains that since the play was first produced on Broadway the methods of investigation were toned down, but the play, 'The Third Degree" still shows i'll a thrilling manner how the famous third degree" was worked. This scene showing the investigation by the police inspector is one of the most thrilling ever staged and as a matter of fact the suspense starts right in the first act and is kept up until the final curtain.
 Ninita Bristow will have a role deci- dedly at variance with her role this week as Patsy for it is role that calls for exceptional dramatic and technical ability. Malcolm Fassett, Rhea Dively, Sumner Garde, Robert Laurence and Shirley Booth have big and exciting roles and to produce the play on par with the original calls for exceptional mastery of detail on the part of Arthur Holman, the director, something which he will take advantage of to the full.
 Seats for all presentations are now on sale at the box office.

NEW HAVEN TO AID FIGHT AGAINST
 ANTI-STRIKE BILL
Trades Council Appoints Commit tee to Appear Before Legis-
 lature in Protest.

The New Haven Trades Council will be represented at Hartford on Tues day in opposition to the anti-strike bill up for hearing that day and will join other organized bodies of the state in knocking out the bill intended to enslave the workers of the state. A committee of two consisting of John H. Casey and F. A. Fitzgerald was appointed last night to represent the council i'll addi- ton to President Ornburn and the other officers who will be present at the hearing officially. The bill, which is printed in another column, is an espe- cially vicious one and IS part of the drive against the unions.
 At the meeting last night the resigna- ton of Michael O'Donnell of the Trol- leymen from the board of trustees was received and accepted and George Strlby committee reported much progress and benefit from the visits to the local unions and already greater interest III the Trades Council and its purposes IS being shown as a result of their efforts. To enhance the work four additional members were added. They are James Cobey, Dennis Fitzgerald, John J. Eagan and R. F. Ives.
 The question of the Van Dyck Print ing company taking the printers label of Poli advertising matter without orders or request from the Poli interests was brought up and committee of three appointed to wait on the Poli management and inquire into it. The Poli manage ment has already told a committee of the Typographical union that the label was removed against its wishes and would be restored. So far Van Dyck has failed to restore it, however.
 The meeting was addressed by Mrs. R. L. .Hazlett in the interests, of the resolution asking for the release of Debs and other political prisoners. As the council had already passed resolu- tions to the effect no action was needed. The roll call showed a number of chronic absentees and President Orn- burn instructed that the constitutional provision relating to attendance be en- forced and the unions the absentees are supposed to represent be instructed to remove them and elect men who will attend the meetings in their stead.

 PUBLIC WILL BITE AGAIN ON HOOKS OF COAL BARONS

New York, March 18.-The
 New York World predicts that
 next winter coal owners will
 stage the same old excuses for
 high prices and the public will
 "bite" again.
 The editor calls attention to
 claims that strikes, etc., were re-
 sponsible for high prices.
 Spring is upon us after mild
 winter; coal bins both at home
 and in the dealers yards are well
 stocked; miles of coal cars stand
 waiting to be unloaded; the rail
 roads have disentangled sufficient ly so that coal can be shipped on short notice; and we learn, after all, that 1920 was banner year ill coal production" says the , World.
 Prices, nevertheless, are at the same level, or little reduced. The dealers predict that unless the de mand increases prices cannot go down.
 The truth is that neither last fall nor at the present time could , good excuse be found for the market quotations on anthracite. . "On the whole, it has been a . most expensive and unsatisfactory drama, and one that we shall . probably stage all over again next . winter"
