A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re
plenishes her supply OF Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy, 1t is almost certain to
be needed before the winter is over

satisfactory when it IS kept at hand
and given as soon as the first indica-
ton OF a cold appears and before it
has become settled in the system.
There IS no danger in giving it to chill

ASSEMBLY REJECTS
 BILL TO ESTABLISH MOUNTED COSSACKS
Will Reorganize State Police and Include Motor Inspectors to
 Protect Farmers.

The bill to establish a mounted state COnstabulary or mounted troops. similar to the bands of mounted cossacks used ln other state, principally to put down strikes, IS dead issue so far as Connec- tlcut and the present legislature is con- cerned. In it's stead the powers and per haps the number of the present state po- lice will be considerably increased and the automobile road forces given power of general arrest, to the end that any "crime wave" as feared by the sponsors of the constabulary bill, may be adequate ly coped with
 The death of the constabulary bill was announced in the legislature yesterday by Senator Rudd, chairman of the military affairs committee. which had 1t under consideration. He explained the bill re- organizing the state police and declared It provided adequate protection for the farming districts which were supposed to be the ones needing the protection of the~ state Censt.iE'laTy. By merging ,ile stat police and motor vehicle inspectors, mounted on motor cycles, sufficient pro- lection would be afforded, he declared The bill IS a complete substitute for the Mounted .COnstabulary and effeCtually disposes of that issue
 Action on the substitute bill was post poned because of absence of some sena- tors interested. It was temporarily tabled and will probably be taken up Tuesday.

New York Herald, Capitalist Paper, Finds Actual Destitu-

Not by the farthest stretch of the imagi- nation could the New York Herald, own ed by Frank Munsey, be classed as a newspaper even in accord with the pri1- Ciples of Organized Labor and therefore when The Herald comes outhat- footedly and declares that employers in Connecti- cut have succeeded in making the work CTS "eat out of their hands" and have brought thousands of people to a state of actual destitutiOn,' which statements are made after careful consideration and in vestigation. then they must be believed despite what the daily press in Connecti- cut, subsidized or otherwise controlled by the financial interests may say.
 The New York Herald has been in vestigating conditions in manufacturing districts contiguous to the metropolis and rcctes breaking story of abject privation and want. It finds in Stam- ford, where 5000 workers have been idle since last fa1l "a condition of poverty among her populace without parallel in the industrial history of New England" :" Women and children are starving, and emergency charity organizations have been formed to give relief before many Ot them SuCCumb.

Solve Mystery of
 The Missing Meat
Australian Mutton Sent Here Year Ago Now Goes to
 England

What became of the shiploads of Aus traian mutton rushed here year ago when meat prices were sly-high, but which shiploads promptly disappeared as soon as they reached New York and other ports, has now come to light At least 5000 carcasses were stored in and about New Haven for the entire year and were this week shipped to England according to a report in The Register last night, which, of course, must be believed
 The meat came here a year ago from New Zealand, The Register reports, and was placed in storage. Meat prices here dropped so now that the meat can be re- leased, but instead of dumping 1t on the local markets and forcing further reduc- tions, the meat is shipped to England, where undoubtedly as good a price can be secured. The shipment represents 240,0O0 pounds of meat and the local sealer of weight, E. J. Maroney, was busy days and nights attesting the weights be- fore shipment
 From New Zealand, to New Haven and then to England, to the final consumer makes long journey and of course, adds nothing to the price.

BUILDING TRADES
 STILL TIED UP BY
 WAGE REDUCTIONS
Luring "Advs" for Carpenters at 80 Gents an Hour Gets
 Little Results

Wanted - carpenters - 80 cents an hour" reads advertisements inserted in the daily press by the local builders ex- change, and according to Clerk Mckay, resulting in the exchange members se- curing all the help they require. with rows of carpenters still in the exchange offices daily seeking places at the new rate. It may be true that the bosses are securing all the men they require," Busi- ness Agent George F. Mordeai of the carpenters admits, but they are not secur- ing all they could use to advantage and have all told secured only about 20 car penters at the most, including all the non- union and Superannuated union men they could get hold of.
 Practically no change i'll the strike and lockout situation about the state Oc- cured this week except in Norwich where arbitration resulted in the workers in building lines taking reduction of 10 per cent. In New Haven, Bridgeport, Stam- ford, and elsewhere where the lockouts were brought on, the men are still out although hundreds of them have secured individual jobs and many hundreds of others are at work for contractors, not members of the state exchange, who have agreed to continue on at the old wage until the trouble Is adjusted by ar b1trat1On or agreement.
 Independent builders in New Haven alone have so far employed about 25O car penters at the old rate and under agree ment that, should any general reduction ensue, they would become beneficiary to it. Several other trades have also many of their men at work under similar con- ditiOnS, the general result being that they will be able to carry on the trouble as long as the bosses desire to have 1t car ried on.
 Among the big jobs thus going on is the new Knights of Columbus home here, the Fuller Construction Company of New York and Boston which has the contract, making a mutual agreement with the car pcnters and 1aborers so work will go on there H. A. Leonard of this city, head of the State Builders kX- change on Monday made strenuous et- forts to induce the local superintendent, w. H. Eubank, to join the exchange and cut rates He failed Mr. Eunank stand ing pat with the men.
 At the call of Mayor FitzGerald last week, representatives of the employers and workers got together in city hall and presented their sides with a view to ar irving at some understanding. Nothing definite has so far resulted but may at the meeting of the executive board of the builders Exchange on here this after noon. The position of the workers IS still that they are willing to submit the entire matter to outside arbitration and settlement

PRINTERS GAIN AS
 PRESSMEN GO OUT
Tie-up Here Now Complete in the Shops Denying 44-Hour
 Agreement.

With the added strike of the job printing pressmen this week in con junction with the printers, stercotyp- CTS, and bookbinders, the movement to enforce the agreement for the A hour week in the printing trades moved considerably forward Prac- ticallv every plant in the city which did not live up to the agreement made two years ago is practically crippled following the walkout of the press men, what little work they were able to do while the prcssmcn were in TOW being tied up. The delay in the press men going out was due solely to the fact that until after May I, their strike vote had not been COmrlctcd As soon as it was they joined the o:h CT printing crafts and the ti>-u2 IS now complete.
 The strike is meeting with better success all over the country than even the printers executives expect ed. The reports from subordinate unions are most encouraging" re ports the executive council of the In ternatiOnal Typographical union in it's first bulletin on the 44-hOur move mcnt of the printing trades, issued this week.
 Not near as many members aic on strike as was expected. l age numbers of offices in various juriS- dictons went on 44-hOur week basis on May ?. All indications point 70 a settlement in most of the juriIdiC- tiOns in a short time"
 The bulletin states that the mem bcrship of the l. T. |. agreed 10 assess themselves by a large vote.

RUSH THRU' BILL ON CITY MANAGER
 FOR NEW HAVEN
But General Assembly Then Promptly Tables s imil ar One for Bridgeport.

New Haven will vote on city man ager plan of government on June II, according 10 a decision of the Lcgis- lature made this wek, after one of the swiftest and most adroit railr0ading of bill through the Assembly ever seen. The proposed change i'll gov ernment, although pending in q blan- ket resolution presented early in the sesion, just so as to get It Ill, was up for hearing only last week, oCcu- pied one afternoon before the com mittee, and was reported in tavorably after an e1apse of but one legislative day. Immediately on it's appearance in the House 1t was passed on q sus- to the Senate and there again rushed through on a suspension of rules, and sent to the governor for his approval.
 Copies of the proposed bill had been available but a day or two be- fore the hearing and consequently little or no opportunity for a study of the matter by those who might be opposed to such a change, was had. Nevertheless considerable opposition arose and much opposition has de veloped since the bill was rushed the Legislature. Meantime the volunteers who have been father ing the project, met and organized in Center Church House on Monday night and appointed Donald A, Adams to manage the campaign for it's adoptance. The opposition will meet tonight in the City Hall annex and it is expected an organiza- ton will be affected that will strcnu- ously carry on that side.
 Bridgeport proponents of the city manager plan were not as fortunate as their New Haven colleagues in get ing a similar bill through the lcgisla- turc perhaps because they didn't have a Col Ullman backing them up. The bill affecting Bridgeport was report ed in Wednesday, the day following the New Haven measure and was promptly sidetracked by being re- ferred to the General Assembly of 1923, SO that ends Bridgeport chances for the next two years.

Since the bill was reported in favor ably several weeks ago, senators and rep- reSentat1ves, many of them lawyers, be- gan to study 1t. It vicious measures aga1nSt the worker at large, not only Or gan1zed but all workers, became appar- ent readily and following out their study many learned that It meant simply con- tnuouS industrial warfare here instead of the industrial peace its sponsOns claimed. he opposition then began to develop and when the bill appeared on the Senate call endar and objections began to arise, Sen ator Delaney asked its recom1nitrnent to the committee which was done
 That didn't stop House Leatler Buck ley, however, and when 1t appeared in regular course on the House calendar. he tried to torce 1t through despite the ac- ton ot the Senate. In this he failed first because the representatives were shown that he had personally added a clause providing penalty, which the committee had had nothing to do with, and also be- cause many House members didn't like his tactics.
 He continued the fight to force 1t through, however, this week until he saw the impossibility of his putting it over without a roll call. Then he asked for its tabllng. This the House agreed to after some pertinent discussion. Yester- day Representative Bell of Salisbury ask ed that action on bill be made the order ot the day for noon on Tuesday, together With the governors veto of the Sunday recreation bill. Mir. Buckley objected to that, declaring there was no need of haste as maj Jor1ty ot the members are not op- posed to the bill anyhow and 1t could be passed ln its regular course
 It IS not necessary that the strike bill be taken up Tuesday or that a time be specified for such action," he said, to which Mr. Bell replied that a definite time should be set. He added that he did not attribute an ulterior motive to MT. Buckley in holding up action as he has too high regard for him." but nevertheless he believed time should be set. While he didn't say 1t, 1t was inti- mated that if time was set those who didn't want to be recorded might take the occasion to be somewhere else at the hour.
 Buckley answered that he had no 'ul- terror motive or personal reasons for de- laying action and excused himself for ObJectlng to Tuesday being set because there would be so many interested that Nc III lllN ctNtlOII OH lIlC SONSIIlDI veto. He also said he desires a large attend ance on the strike bill, but didn't connect why he didn't want 1t taken up when large attendance was assured for Tues day. Mir. Bell said he was satisfied to It it stay where 1t was and withdrew his motion making 1t the order of the day for Tuesday. Unless Buckley calls 1t from the table again, 1t will probably lay there most of the representatives being with what they have already heard of 1t.
 House Leader Buclley's anirnus toward labor was promptly evidenced on Tues lay when the anti-strike bill came up on he calendar With Representative Fred. :.

of Some "Oc- cupatiOna1 Diseases" Also Made in Measure Passage of Which Is Almost Certain-Re- quests Started With Beginning of l. aw Finally Granted.

Organized Labor in Connecticut won a signal victory in the Legisla- ture yesterday when the committee on the judiciary reported in favorably bill to increase the rate of com pensation to injured employees, from 50 per cent. of the weekly wage to 65 per cent. With the passage of the bill, which is confidently expected, a contest sthat has lasted since the es- tablishment of the compensation law a dozen years ago will have ended. Through the Connecticut Federation of Labor, the workers have been con- sistently asking for the increase of rate to tWo-thirds, or 66 2-3 per cent, of the wage but until this year have failed of consideration. The recom- mendation of 65 per cent. virtually grants all asked and will be univer- sally satisfactory.
 When the bill was up for hearing two weeks ago, Attorney C. ]. Dana her, of Mcridcn, and Secretary Ira NJ. Ornburn of the State Federation, appeared in its favor. A usual Ralph Q. Wells, attorney for the Manufac- turers' Association, was present and opposed 1t onl the grounds of in creased costs. He was the only op- pOncnt, however, as even members of the compensation boards, when asked, approved of the increase
 Because of existing insurance con- tracts, the increased compensation part of the law will not become cffcc- tive until July I, 1922. This was agreed to by Attorney Danahcr and Mr. Ornburn at the hearing as being only fair to employers and insurance companies who had already made con- tracts covering this year and part of next.
 In addition to this changes in the law relating 10 OCcupational diseases were included in the committees recommendations and is a new de parturc in the laws of Connecticut and makes them equal to the laws of other states, if not indeed more ad- vanccd and better for all concerned Just what these changes are cannot
