WILL HOLD SWAY
 ON JITNEYS

Hartford.-Public service motor vehicles will be put under the juris- diction of the public utilities com mission like street railway companies if a substitute bill which is expected to be reported in the House of Repre- sentatives today by the judiciary com mittee, becomes a law.
 This would require jftney owners, whether individuals or corporations, to secure a certificate from the pub lie utilities commission as well as a license from the motor vehicle de- partment before being allowed to op- crate in any part of the state. Such certificates would correspond in a de- gree to the franchises which street railway companies are obliged to have and the jitneys would be con fined to routes approved by the Utih- ties commission.
 Opportunity to oppose or present arguments in favor of the granting of such certificates would be extended to the public by a provision that public hearings be held on applications of jitney owners, who would have the same right as trolley companies to appeal to the superior court from the rulings of the commission Before getting a certificate, they would have to show that the proposed Jftney line was needed.
 The adoption of the bill would take Itney problems out of the hands Of municipal authorities.

BUILDERS SAY UNION
 BROKE THEIR PACT

(Continued from Page One.) ties of the first part shall remain at work until said dispute or difference is arbitrated or settled. It is agreed that both parties must within twenty four (24) hours submit said question to arbitration"
 Another paragraph, number ten, in the agreement asserts that nothing in the agreement is in conflict with the bylaws of the Union.
 "On February 5th,'' continued MT. Smith, '.I wrote the Carpenters Union about the incident of the day before, referred to section three of the agree ment and said Under the conditions set forth it is plainly the duty of the present writer to declare the agree ment null and void and this letter is to be regarded as an official notice of such action
 'The Builders held a meeting on the Sth at which I reported the affair and the action which I had taken: was sustained and instructed to de- mand that the job be put in good standing and men placed thereon to proceed with the work. On the fol- lowing day I did this by registered mail. Since then I have had no communication from the union either official or unofficial nor have the men been put back to work.
 'tThe following week, as the wage twenty per cent, making the wages eighty cents per hour, was put into effect by practically all the builders in the city and all the union men quit work Other men have been employed, however, and at present there are no builders in the city who have not enough men to carry on all the carpenter work which is lmme- diate1y necessary. In h1rlng these men at the new rate there has been no discrimination, either for or against the union, and there are about an equal number of union and non- union men represented.
 'fWhen troubles of this kind occur it is customary for the National or ganization of the carpenters to send a nofficial inside of forty-eight hours to investigate. It was done in this case and I understand the official is still here but I have not been ap- preached, either directly or indirect iy, by him nor has any member of the Builders Exchange to my knowl- edge.
 '"There is an impression abroad that the reduction of the carpenters wages means just so much more profit for the builders This is not so. The builders percentage of profit will re- main the same and the benefit of the Iessened cost passed on to the public As a matter of fact there has been sufficient drop in the cost of ma terials to make it possible with the reduction in carpenters wages to build house this spring for twenty per cent. less tha nthe same house could have been built for last spring and when the wages in some of the other trades have been similarly re- duced it will mean a drop of twenty five pc rcent. in the cost of building as compared with last spring prices."

What Do You Know about
an Automobile !?

VOO may know more than most people about
an automobile, but life is too short to learn
everything about 1t unless you intend to be an
automobile engineer
So after all, the safe way to buy car is the
same way you buy your typewriter for instance,
consider the intent and reputation of the makers
The standard Steel Car Company of Pittsburgh
entered INTO the manufacture Of Standard Eight
business which would be based on an ever-growine
Publlc confidence. This fact is the big feature Of
Standard Eight Cars.
Other features are power, easy gear-shifting,
double ignition, lightning pickup, efortless hill
chm0lng, extremely low speed possible in high
and other points that make motoring pleasure.
All cars have some of these features; the differ
ence is IN degree-and that can only be expressed
by trial.
