MANY HALLOWEEN S0CIALS

1t is possible that some sort of a celebration may be held in May of next year when the town df Berlin will be 137 years old.
 Berlin was incorporated in May, 1785, and was taken from Pennington, Wethersfield and Middletown. Until May of 1850, New Britain was a part of Berlin, but in that year it with drew from the Berlin township and started a town by itself.
 The area of Berlin is I5,403 acres, according to the statistics of the town kept by the town clerk. It has three voting districts and in 1920 had a population of 429S The number of children between the ages of 4 and 6 in the town at the first of September, 1920, was 1,405. The grand list of the town is $4,189,154, while the indebted ness is $70,0
 Fhe town of Berlin is generally known throughout the state as the home of the brick industry inasmuch as many of the brickyards of Connecti- cut are located in Berlin. Along with the brick industries other trades are agriculture and the manufacturing of jewels in East Berlin, paper, maca- roni and iron manufacturing in Ken sington, with agriculture in the Worth fngton Ridge section. The town also has four postofffces, one each at Ken sington, East Berlin and Beckley
 Despite the fact that Berlin is sit uated on the main line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, it has not grown to be a large city. due chiefly to the fact, it is said that the old time residents did not care to have any modern changes made. It was recalled this morning that when the trolley line was first proposed from New Britain to Berlin. residents on Berlin street objected and presented a petition asking that the line not be established in that section of the town. They later withdrew the petition but asked that cars not be al- lowed to operate on Sunday.
 Engagement Announced.
 At party given by Mrs. Robert Deming at her home in Berlin, the engagement of Miss Alberta Elton of Worthington Ridge to William Smed- burg of Southington, was announced Miss Elton is employed in the office of the American Paper Goods com . pany in Kensington. No date for the wedding has been set.
 Halloween SOciaIs. The people of Berlin are promised a grand array of Halloween socials to : attend in order to celebrate the well ! known day. The first will be held this evening at the Berlin Congregations . church when the Sunday school de partment of that church will hold g party in the chapel. An interesting

STEEL COMPANY
WINS AGAINST
IT'S EMPLOYEES
War Department Holds 1t IsN
Not Required to Give
Back Pay.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-CIaims of
former employees of the Bethlehem Steel
Company for more than one and one-haif
millions of dollars In back pay are re-
jected under a decision just reached by
Acting Secretary of War Wainwright, 1t
was learned today.
The case, which has been pending for
nearly three years. involves some 3S,0OU
men. The decision also is Of interest
as bearing upon a somewhat similar
group Of claims on the part of employees
Of, a Minneapolis machinery concern.
The Bethlehem Steel Company en-
ployes' claims grew out of a decision of
the War Labor Board awarding wage in
creaess to machinists and electricians
when such increases appeared to be neces-
sary to keep shops working at capacity
on important war orders.
An appeal to Secretary of War Weeks
from the decision Of the acting Secretary
Of War. is being made by the work
mems representatives, and it is under
stood the matter will be carried to the
White House if necessary.
A letter written by former Assistant
Secretary of War Benedict Croweu in
September 1918, to President Grace OF
the Bethlehem Company played an imz
portant part in the decision of Secretary
Wainwright. This letter stated in
effect that If the Bethlehem Company
would pay the Increases ordered by the
War Labor Board and thus keep the
plants functioning on important big gun
orders demanded by General Pershfngs
the War Department would see that the
company was compensated.
Under the opinion rendered by Sec-e
rotary Wainwright. this letter does nos
constitute just grounds for a claim
against the War Department, inasmuch
as the Bethlehem company never cons
piled with the terms Of the award of the
labor board Regardless Of whateVer
moral obligation may have been incurred
by the War Department, the opinion
holds, there Is no legal obligation and
the War Department therefore has no
right TO pay the claims.

Aug. "a

Last week one Of the leading CONNER
cial Journals made an elaborate tnvesti-
CATION into the state of trade In this
country and its conclusion was that the
outlook was encouraging and noting a
more cheerful sentiment among the busi-
ness men of the Nation is mighty big
factor at this time.
II business is to improve, the stock
market will, as usual, begin the discount
ing process in advance and there Is a
likelihood that the improvement noted In
the past few days may be the start In
this direction, though there is nothing
certain as to this at the moment since
much of the buying that has occurred
has been credited to shorts and what we
want is a revival Of confidence among
permanent investors.
We need the elias of buying who takes
stocks out OF the market and reduces the
floating supply This class Of buying
has been noticed In the rails, several
issues being in demand by brokers who
have in the past represented the most
important interests in the country.
In the industrials. the tone is much
better. There is noticeable reduction In
the volume that has been daily offered
for sale and, IL the market should be-
able to maintain the present degree OF
stability for a few weeks, il will go far
to convince the public that all is well
and thus materially increase the demand.

Wheat-Receipts Of wheat in the South
west have not shown any particular de-
crease and the movement of spring wheat
In the Northwest is decreasing. Despite
this, the visible supply have made very
substantial decrease, because of the con-
slant flow to foreign countries. Export
business in the East expect the clearances
during August to be of record proportion,
estimating them at 45,0OO,000 bushels.
Galveston alone is clea ring more than
half a million bushels daily in new ex-
port business. Today has been rather
dull. We are unable at the moment TO
detect anything in the market itself to
suggest any weakness in the undertOne.
We anticipate a slow and irregular ad-
vance In prices In response to foreign
demand.
Coarse Grains-Receipts of corn were
very large and at the same time the mar
ket has ruled firm. The demand is un-
doubleday for export business as the do
nestle trade is slow. The movement out
Of Chicago to eastern points continues
liberal Extreme temperatures continue
in the Southwest but It IS not believed
that any important damage is being done.
Oats gathered their Grmness from other
grains, there being a slow domestic
trade. Accommodations at terminals show
another increase, the total visible supply
being SO, 000 GOO bushels This load must
be Hghtened before the market viii have
any individual strength
ProvisiUns-The contemplated move
meut from other markets OF cash ribs
has eased the market here for that
commodity, but lard was 81 demand from
cash handlers and packers. We anticipate
a maintenance Of strength.

SWINE ARE SO TO
60 CENTS HIGHER
Less Than 200 Fresh Cattle
on Market-Calves Strong.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

With only $500 fresh swine on the mar
ket and a keen demand by shippers, who
seem to have more orders than they
could fill, swine prices were 90 to 90
cents higher on the short session Of the
hog market of the local live stock ex-
change today.
Although local packers were in need
of hogs, shippers were in the market
and had bought all the swine before the
packers realized the condition of the
market.
Light swine generally sold at $40,
while there were several sales at SOLO,
with a top of $10.15 Light mixed hogs
brought S975610 and mixed 1918.
Heavies sold at $3.50 and pigs were in
good demand at 1915 and down. Roughs
brought $3.50 and down.
The bulk of the sales ranged to 500
010.
There were less than 200 fresh cattle on
the market, although there was still
some stale stuff in the pens Packers
seemed TO be wanting some cattle, but
the grade of the stuff on the market held
prices to steady levels regardless Of the
small run.
Due to light and a good demand by
both shippers and local concerns, veal
prices were strong, with a top of S13.50
There were two sales Of this grade at
SIS, but the calves were of a grade all
to themselves and those prices could not
be- considered as within the regular
market.
Sheep and lambs values were again
steady, with receipts about 200
