BRISTOL MAN SEEKS
 BETTER RAILROAD
State Commerce Chamber to
 Study State Railway Facilities

Hartford, Sept. S.-A detailed and scientific study of the relative efficiency of railway and motor truck transporta- tion in Connecticut was decided on at a meeting of the directors of the Cham Der of Commerce Wednesday in New Haven and it was voted to have President Bullard of the chamber ap- point committee to investigate and report on the problem with recommen- dations suitable for presentation at the next session of the general assembly. The aim of the state chamber is 10 propose some method whereby legisla.- tion that will further the interests of the most efficient transportation method may be enacted. At present many of the directors feel there is an endless amount of duplication between the rail- ways and motor trucks.
 The plan for study of the trans portation situation is being forwarded by John T. Chidsey, president and treasurer of the C. J. Root Co. of Bris- tol, and the matter received much fav- orable comment at the meeting Wed nesday.
 ''The maintenance of two distinct systems of transportation plants, the railroads and the highways for motor truck transportation has become of acute interest on account of the ever increasing expense of both," says Mir Chidsey in a letter addressed to E. Kent Hubbard, president of the manufactur- CTS association of Hartford county and read at the chamber directors meeting in New Haven. "The public interest suggests the study by disinterested par ties as to what extent those two plants may duplicate or supplement each oth- CT so that. with proper facts establish ed, such legislative or other action may be taken as necessary to the proper de- velopment of all our transportation fa- cilities in harmonious relations to each other, if possible, for the economic benefit and practical convenience of our people, .~.'

AGENDA AT LEAGUE
 BEING WORKED 0N
Preliminary Steps Are Being
 Taken by Diplomats

London, Sept. S.-Preliminary work in drawing up the agenda for the con- ference of limitation of armaments to be held in Washington next November is showing considerable progress it is declared by the London Times. This work is so far advanced. the newspa- per says. that it is possible to begin informal conversations between the powers to be represented in the confer ence regarding the exact definition and limitation of the subjects to be discuss ed. The newspaper understands these will begin as soon as of the interested powers return 10 London. and hope is expressk ed that they may rapidly lead to fav- orable results so that the main features of the agenda may be decided upon by the time the Japanese mission leaves Tokio for Washington.
 In urging quick action, the Times says cditorially: Since the agenda will mean so much. it will be a relief to the world soon to know that it has been settled. It is satisfaction to be able to announce that rrehminary-conversa tions will begin soon and that in some quarters they have begun already"
