 Excellent crop prospects and the British industrial situation were among favorable factors. London cables offered ground for early set Cement of the coal strike. Inci- dentally, exchange on London was substantially higher, continental rates also showing marked improvement.
 A minor incident of the session was the passing of the dividend on Mid vale, a former war bride" Such action had been discounted. however, and exerted little influence.
 Oils, steels, equipments. motors, coppers and sundry specialties were among outstanding features, rails re- maining in the background.

CONNECTICUT AT KANSAS CITY

The American Legion of this state has every reason to be proud of the Con- necticut delegation to the National con- vention. Senator Clarence Seymour, the Connecticut commander, headed the the Legionaires from the Nutmeg" state, and it was he who upset the mo. ton, which, if passed, would severely criticize Ambassador Harvey. After the reading of the resolution the majority of the delegates in the hall were united in their desire to severely reprimand Harvey, ambassador to Great Britain. At this junction, Seymour jumped to his feet and pointed to the diplomatic phase of the vitriolic resolution. The effect on the delegates could be noticed, even the chair showed signs of interest. In short, Seymour pointed to the dis armament conference which is to be held at Washington and said that such of meeting which was called for the most lofty purpose possible, viz. pre- venting war. That resolution was de. feated, and by the defeat silly talk to the effect that the American Legion was a militaristic organization was Quelled. To Commander Seymour goes the honor for this exceptional piece of loyalty. The delegates and the Legion are proud of him-he has come up to the expectations of the state convention delegates who elected him. His speech has not gone unnoticed His ideas have been sent to Washington and they will be recorded as the policy of the Amer, can Legion on diplomatic matters.

CHEAPER THANKSGIVING
 DINNER

An example of what can be accom-. plished by cooperation is seen in the announcement that the price of turkeys will be materially reduced for Thanks giving. It will be recalled that the best quality birds sold at retail for as high as sixty cents a pound last year. Bread winners resented the assault on their bank accounts and consequently large producers found the season over with large supplies on their hands held in cold storage. The demand for turkey has been light since that time, which fact has expedited the descent of prices in big wholesale markets. It is said that good turkeys will be on sale this year at figures far below last years prices.
 Producers in other lines of business shou3 take the hint that one way to make their wares more attractive is to bring prices within reach of the con. suming public whose purchasing power has been substantially weakened

CApPER- -TINCHER
 LAW EXPLAINED
Grain Exchange to Be Regulated
 After Dec. 4

Chicago, Nov. '. - Regulation of grain exchanges as provided in the | Capper- Tincher law going into effect December 1, is attacked here in a suit set for argument befroe Judge k. M Landis today
 The bill questioning the constitu- toinaltyi of the future trading act was filed by John Hill, Jr., a member of the Chicago board of trade, on Oc- tober, 25, and it is the first suit to test the law.
 Tt is claimed that the act is in United States" said MT. Hill, and it will be taken to the U. s. supreme court with the least possible delay Reviewing the argument against the act, MT. Hill said it would fol- low these lines:
 That the future trading act de- prVes the members of the board of trade of their property without dne process of law, nj that the compul- sorry admission to membership on the board, of representatives of coopera- tive associations will impair the value of all memberships on the board.
 That it attempts to regulate com merce of purely interstate character between persons within the state of Illinois, whereas congress has no right to interfere with, or regulate business that is not interstate in it's character.
 That it interferes with the right of the State of Illinois to provide for and regulate the maintenance of a grain exchange within it's borders up on which is conducted the making of contracts which are merely inter- state transactions.
 That it gives to farmers coope- sentatives the right to share in and enjoy the use of real estate owned by the board Ca private corporation) without giving the board any com pensation therefor and that it at tempts to take the private property of the board for public use without giving any compensation therefor tC the owners.
 That the act imposes a tax not in tended either to pay the debts or pro vide for the common defense or gen. eral welfare of the United States, but for the purpose only of regulating grain exchanges and of benetlting the | producers of grain at the expense O, members of the grain exchanges; ir other words it is class legislation.
 "That the act authorizes unreason- able searches by the secretary of az riculture respecting books and paper; which do not relate to any property upon which a tax is imposed nor tC any transaction within the commerce power of congress-
 That it deprives members O grain exchanges of the right to con. tract for the purchase of grain fol | future delivery as fully as owners growers, or growers associations arC | permitted by the law to contract"

\ BOON FOR CONNECTICUT

An intelligent comprehensive survey If water power possibilities in New Eng. land and several states to the southward brings home forcclully tho tendency of a busy people occupied with the prob lems of production to overlook sources of help which are right at their elbow. The survey has been prepared by the Department of the Interior and pre-. Sentcd to President Harding.
 Because of vast reservoir of power contained in the waters of the Connecti- cut river, manufacturers of the Nutmeg State are intensely interested in the pro. icct, Connecticut, a hive of industry, is miles away from it's coal supply. In case of q protracted railroad strike it would be unable to obtain proper amount of fuel. A severe winter which would render service by rail and water undependabe would also be to the detri. ment of manufacturers and the thou. sands of men and women who depend on them for wages. Under abnormal conditions through which we have just passed, high freight rates forced tlh cost of fuel to levels never before reached. From the foregoing, it can be understood why every encouragement should be given to the development of any project that would free us from slavery to King Coal
 A usable fall of 42S feet occurs in the Connecticut river between Fifteen Mile Fall, New Hampshire, and Windsor Locks in this state. It is believed that this force could be utilized with proper expenditure of money.

All the Herald folks breathe easier, even f the carpenters are raising a din over our heads and the odor of charred tim. bers assails our nostrls.

Half the time we didn't know whether we were printing the New Britain Courant" or the Hartford Her. ald." Marathon stunts made Us rather bewildered. If you think it was easy try some day to stand with one foot on Church street, New Britain, and the other on State street, Hartford.
 To Herald readers who bore with us in our hour of trial we are deeply gratc. fuA We realize that many of them must have made wry face and had to use a little self-hypnotism before be. coming convinced that it was really the Herald they were reading But they all stood by us, readers and advertisers, which made our hearts stout to with stand the cares that had been thrust upon us so unexpectedly. We will try to repay all our friends by giving them . better Herald than they knew in the past.
 To the Hartford Courant and it's staff of splendid newspapermen we extend q grip of friendship that shall not be an ephemeral thing. Every courtesy has been extended to us in the office of our Hartford contemporary If we seenf overpleased at being back in Neu, Bit ain, we must plead that Us me human in us, because thyles no place like 'homS after all.
