Bars Saccharine
from Soft Drinks
Bill in Legislature Makes Use of
It States Prison
Offense.

The use of saccharine in beverages
made or bottled in Connecticut is made
a prison offensc in substitute bill, which
was favorably reported by the commit
tee on public health and safety to the
legislature this week. The same bill
takes away from the state department
Of health and vests in the dairy and
food commissioner the right to issue
licenses for the business of bOttling
drinking water and authorizes the latter
also to license the manufacture and
bottling OF non-alcoholic beverages in
tended for sale.
The license fee for bottling water is
increased from $40 to 20 by the bill and
the new fee is made to apply also to the
manufacture and bottling of non-alco-
hOic beverages The dairy and food
commissioner is required to inspect at
least twice a year the places where such
businesses are carried on and to see that
bottles used for drinking water and bev-
erages are sterilized before being rcfilled.
The penalty OF a maximum fine of 800
or three months Imprisonment is made
applicable to those selling beverages con-
tanning sacCharinc of impure or injurious
ingredients as to those making them
The bill gives the commissioner the right
to revoke the license of any person or
company found to be using saccharine in
the manufacture of beverages.

TAKE OUT GAS METER
PAID FOR WHOLE YEAR
Gas Company in Eagerness for
Fee Oversteps Itself in
This Case.

Another example of the high handed
manner in which the Gas Co. carries on
its business in the city was called to the
attention of The Labor News this week
When the Gas O. Constituted its meter
charge stunt one of our citizens of Ita1-
ian extraction paid the whole year in
advance. Not because he believed in the
right of the company to assess these
charges but simply because he knew that
this was one of the big firms which get
what they want right or wrong.
AS the mother of this young man is
not an expert in the use of the English
language he thought he would be saving
her lot of trouble by having the meter
charges paid up for the entire year.
Imagine the surprise therefore when he
arrived home Saturday noon and learn
ed that the meter which he had paid
whole years rental for, had been re-
moved for non-payment of the charge.
Naturally he was indignant. When
the meter was brought to the office OF
the company the mistake was discovered
and the meter returned.
If some one breaks in to the house
and rObS your meter the only loser is the
persons who have been robbed, they have
to make good the loss to the company.
If there is a leak in the meter the firm
doesn't lose, that also comes out Of the
pocket of the consumer. SO on with
everything else.

GIGANTIC WATER POWER
PLANT ON CONNECTICUT

Important water power development
on the Connecticut river at Windsor
Locks, which may lead to a big improve
ment in navigation up the river as far
as Holyoke, Mass, is proposed in two
applications to the federal power COM
mission. 1t is practically certain that a
license tor one of these projects will be
granted. These applications are COM
petitlVe. Both have been referred by
q. &. Merrill, executive officer of the
federal power commission, to the chief
of engineers, Engineer Corps, y. S. A,
simultaneously, with a request that he
have the district engineer arrange for
public hearings at the same time on the
two proposals, SO that all interested par
ties may have an opportunity to present
their rights. The district engineer will
then review the testimony and transmit
all the testimony taken with his report
and recommendations to the federal pow
er commission for its findings.
FAVOR CONNECTICUT RIVER
COMPANY.
The officials of the federal power
commission appreciate that this will be
an important power develOpment-fOr
general public utility use-and the grant
ing of a license is already assured. The
probability now is that the permit will go
to the Connecticut River Company to
carry out plans drafted by the ]. G.
White Engineering Corporation Of New
York.
One of the applications was submitted
by A. T. COnnOr, an engineer and law
yer, in the Five Cent Savings Bank build
ing, Springfield, Mass. He outlined two
projects. The first would consist of
81
navigation locks and power house on the
east side of the island and a spillway
located on the west side of the island.
According to his estimates that would
back the water up to the Massachusetts,
line
WOULD BUILD HUGE DAM.
Mr.. Connor in his application said
that later, if he could get the co-opera-
ton of the federal engineers, and could
and the national government to work
with him on the ground that it would
improve navigation he proposed to raise
the dam still higher, up to about 20 feet,
if necessary, dyking the river for a GER
tain distance to prevent hoWage damages.
This second scheme, according to Mr..
Connor, would back the water up to
Holyoke, about 10 miles from the state
border. Mr.. COnnor stated that he would
develop $4,000 to 10000 horsepower. The
federal power commission is admittedly
s1eptical about the second and larger
scheme of Mr.. Connor.
The other application is made by the
Connecticut River Company 80 State
street, Hartford, which already has a
much smaller project, the Enfield dam,
which would be drowned out by the pro-
ject for which federal license is now
asked. This proposes the construction
of a dam at Kings Island just above
Windsor Locks. They have presented
two plans. One is drawn by the J. G.
White Engineering Co. and the other by
Westinghouse, Church, Kerr & Co.
The ]. G. White plans were made in
1909, and engineers connected with the
federal power commission admit that
they are in conformity with the most
modern hydraulic engineering practice.

ASKS AID OF WORKERS
Committee Appears Before Open
Meeting of Machinists and
Boosts City Manager Plan.
Especial to The Labor News.)

Especial to The Labor News)
New London, April Sat an open
meeting held in Central Labor Union
hall on Tuesday night under auspices
of Machinists Local IA, a delegation
from the Chamber of Commerce con-
sisting of Alton T. Miner and Theodore
B. BodenWein discussed the city man
ager plan on which that day the legisla-
ture had given permission for a referen-
dunn and asked the cooperation of the
workers in putting it across at the polls.
The chambers delegates expressed the
feeling of friendliness toward the or
ganized workers and hoped that it could
be even strengthened and both sides
work for the general good of the COM
munity
Secretary l. NJ. Ornburn of the Con-
neeticut Federation of Labor was also
present and spoke of the legislative
activities of Labor at the present ses-
sion and the SCant courtesy and harsh
treatment that was being accorded to
LabOr's bills. He pointed out that the
attitude of the several committees be-
fore which labor had appeared was such
that it presaged total failure of Labor
receiving any constructive legislation at
this session because as fast as Labor bills
were heard they were reported adversely
and rejected.
At another open meeting to be held a
week from next Tuesday, the spy in
labor circles will be discussed by one of
the foremost professors at Harvard who
has made deep study of the subject
and learned that to the paid spy of the
employer is most Of the trouble in indus

WORKERS WILLING
TO Do THEIR PART
ON WAGE MATTER
But Cannot Be Expected to Do
It All, Says State Federation
Secretary.

81 am afraid we are going to see
lot of trouble before this labor situa-
ton is adjusted" said Ira M. Ornburn,
secretary of the State Federation of La
Dor, in reply to question concerning
the progress made in bringing about an
adjustment of the differences between
the employees and the employers. He
was speaking particularly Of the build
ing trades, where the troubles seem to
be looming up in the largest proportions.
The employees at all times are dis
posed to do what they can to bring about
an adjustment of differences, but the en-
ployes cannot bear all these burdens.
Why, do you know there is lot of prof.
teering in building materials, Some of
the wholesalers have been making as
much as 800 per cent. Now there should
come a decided reduction in the costs
of building materials.
The working people of this state
cannot stand a reduction of ~ per cent.
in their Wagc-nOt with the present cost
of living. | am aware the cost Of living
has come down some, but not in proper
ton to wage cut of 20 per cent. The
workers of this state cannot stand such
a radical cut in their wages-not until
the costs of living have dropped more
than they have Already
What is the prospect of a compro-
mise? Couldn't the employees accept a
wage cut of 10 per cent. p
Il think a compromise could be ar
ranged, but | could not say what per
cent in wage reduction employees would
accept But | would say that the work
ers would be willing to consider some

PLUMBER DOES A
SURGERY JOB THAT
BAFFLED SURGEONS

London, April Sentiment surgeons
in a Charing Cross hospital stood over
patient in the operating room and were
completely baff1ed Then they called in
the plumber from the basement, rugged
him out in the professional white garb
of a surgeon, sterilized his hands and
told him to go to work. He did. The
life Of the patient was saved.
The case got too much for the sur
geOns when they saw that they did not
have tools that were strong enough
John Neal of Battersea, an engineer,
was pierced from the left shoulder to
the right knee by a steel rod half an
inch thick. The accident is considered
to be the most unique in the history of
medicine here as the bar had passed
right across the mans body under the
skim missing all the vital organs and
all bones and projecting through the
knee.
The surgeons found, however, that
they could not extract the bar, so they
sent for the plumber, Charles Venables,
and in consultation explained the diff
ficulty to him.
Like all good plumbers Mr.. Venables
had to return for his tools, so he went
to the basement and brought an engi-
necr's stock and die and after the neces-
sary preliminaries he screwed the stock
to the bar, got it in action and gradually
drew out the long bar while studetns
and nurses, with a big class of inter
ested students in the theater of the .op-
Grating room looked on. The patient
is progressing favorably.
Venables has been the hospital
plumber 10 years. He said he had per-
formed many operations, but this was
his first medical work. The task took
him five minutes, and was made more
delicate than an ordinary plumbing job,
due to the fact that the bar had turned
after entering the body. The patient
was under an anesthetic during the en-
tire operation. When he regained con-
sciousness and the case was explained
to him he had good laugh, called in
the plumber and said that he had
changed his mind about all plumbers.
The Connecticut labor news., 1921-04-08

made it clear, not mincing words in any
way, that unless the cut was accepted all
business in their lines would be suspend
ed until they do. The journeymen when
advised of the action and the attitude
of the bosses promptly in their turn de-
cided not to be beaten into taking such
a wage cut and will probably be locked
out on April IS when they report for
work.
The master carpenters here are also
preparing for a wage cut but are hold
ing off to watch the outcome of the
plumbers action The painters have al
ready been locked out SO it looks as if
all building would soon be at stand
still.

Physical Training

before the Legislative committee on edu-
cation for such a measure. THE state

sources, its children" he said, adding
that physical instruction and exercise

bring about an adjustment between them
selves and the employers"
Secretary Ornburn went on to say
that all that was needed to start the
wheels of industry in this state is an
adjustment of wages and the cost of
building materials and of the costs of
living.
He said there is plenty of work just
waiting for these adjustments There
is a large amount of building waiting
and also Of general manufacturing in
this state. But he could see no prospect
of an immediate Improvement in con-
ditions, as much as he would like to see
it. He said he was afraid there was
likely to be considerable trouble in evil
dence before there was any real per-
manent adjustment of labor and indus
trial conditions in this state.

SOLONS ALL AT SEA
OVER TROLLEY LINES
Ask Attorney General to Settle
Question of Federal
Control Bill.

Hartford April S.-The Legislative
committee on railroads has appointed a
committee to confer with Attorney Gen
eral Healy on the advisabiity of taking
action on a recommendation of the pub
lie utilities commission that termination
of federal control of the Connecticut
Company be sought in the United States
court as a possible solution of the rail
way company's difficulty.
The committee is at odds over the mat
ter and house members voted last week
while Chairman Emo was out to lunch to
have a hearing on the matter next
Wednesday, but the vote was rescinded
Tuesday to await the report of the COM
nittee that is to wait on the attorney
general.
The Connecticut labor news., 1921-04-08

They call for dam 80 feet high and a
spillWay 200 feet long on the east side
OF the island. On the west side Of the
island at the lower end they propose to
construct the power house and naviga-
ton locks, with the power house in the
dam, the dam and power house being
900 feet long. These plans also call for
excavation for tail race a mile and a
half down stream to point below Wind
sor Locks. They expect to develop
81 600 horsepower.
An interesting feature of these plans
are an ice-bOom at the head of the island
to let the free water down the west side.
They propose the construction of a train
ing wall on the south end of the island
running down stream a mile and half
with the power house 900 yards south of
the island, just above the railroad bridge.
Apparently the idea in running the
tail race down the river past Windsor
Locks is to avoid piling up any sediment
against Windsor Locks.
ALTERNATE PROJECT.
The alternate proposal of the Connec-
ticut River Company, drawn by Westing-
house, Church, Kerr & Co., is for a
dam below Kings Island, almost at
Windsor Locks. This proposed dam
would run diagonally across the river
below the railroad bridge. These plans
do not take advantage of the island,
contrary to the plans drawn by the J. G.
White Engineering, Company which are
in accordance with the latest engineering
practice and take advantage of the is
land, splitting up the dam.
Great interest is being taken by the
federal power commission in the appli-
7
because they appreciate what an import
necticut river.
HARTFOR COMPANY OWNS
RIGHTS.
Speaking in reference to the Connec-
ticut River Companys project at Wind
sor Locks as it relates to the applica-
ton of A. P. Connor of Springfield for
similar privileges, power and navigation
development, Harrison B. Freeman, sec
rotary of the Connecticut River Co.. said
that so far as can be discovered ConnOr
is alone in his application and owns no
charter for howage rights in Connecti-
cut nor has he land or dam site. APP
parently his application to the federal
water power commission was only filed
last year and the commission has deter
mined to give both projects hearing at
the same time, Mr.. Freeman said.
The Connecticut River Company
possesses title to dam and fowage rights
dating back to 1881, when the Enfield
dam was built, together with the canal
and locks at Windsor Locks. The COM
pany controls rights on both sides of
the Connecticut river from Windsor
Locks to Holyoke, Mass. These rights,
originally granted by Connecticut and
Massachusetts when the Enfield dam was
built were renewed by the Connecticut
River Company in 1919, when plans for
the present development were filed with
the federal water power commission.
Construction of the new dam at Wind
sor Locks means wiping out the old dam
at Enfield, the company in reality plan
ming to relocate its dam at the foot of
the rapids instead of at the head, six
miles to the north.
