Manufacturers
 Are Protesting
 Commerce Cut

Protests on. the present action of Congressional committees in slicing s5OO,000 from the s1,0O0,00O appro- priation asked by the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce will be made by the Manufacturers Associa- ton of Bridgeport, it was learned to- day. The measure is regarded as impractical and an obstacle to for eign trade progress if enforced at this time, and, in spite of it's economical value, would seriously injure interna- tional trade.
 Under tn edirection of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce trade secretaries and representatives are attached to embassies and con- suiates in foreign countries, and mainly in Europe where they are of inestimable value to American mer- chants. Business conditions, prices demand and, supply situations are kept before the attention of mer- chants in this country by the foreign representatives who form an import ant connection between domestic selling agents and European buyers and vice versa.
 The reduction in the annual ap- propriation for the Bureau from si :. 000.00 to s506O0O will seriously handicap their work in foreign lands and reflect directly upon efforts of local manufacturers to negotiate for eign business.
 l. The nature of the action bv the Bridgeport Manufacturers Association would not be disclosed today all though it was admitted that a defin- ite step will be taken within a week.

Would Put All Probate Judges
 On Wage Scale

Hartford.-Compens of pro- bate judges in the larger districts of the state on a salary instead of a fee bas1s IS contemplated in a bill pre- pared by Representative Howard P Durham of WetherSfield in the Leg islature today.
 The bill fixes a. salary of s7,5oo for the Hartford and New Haven dis trictS, S4,5o0 for the Bridgeport dis trict and s4,000 for the New London district, to be paid by the state, ant provides that all fees collected in such probate districts be transmitted to the state treasurer monthly. Nee essary office expenses, clerks salaries and cost of supplies would be al- lowed bT the state.
 As a member of the appropriations doubtedly be referred, Representa- tive Durham will exert every en- deavor to bring about this wide de- parture from the present system. according to a statement made by him yesterday.
 who would be affected by such a change to salary basis are l.. P. Waldo Marvin, Hartford District: John l.. Gilson, New Haven District; Paul L. Miller,- Bridgeport District: and Arthur B. Calkins, New London District.
 Representative Dunham estimated that, in some of the districts, the judges receive over s15.000 annual compensation under the fee system and pointed out that the acceptance of fees by the probate judges. as pro- V1ded by existing statutes, Is incom- Datible with the dignity of the office Judges of the superior court receive salaries of s9,000 a year and the chief justice of the supreme court, ss,500, including an increase granted by the last regular session of the Legislature.
 Representative Durham said that he had conferred with Judge Marvin of Hartford about the proposed bill and that the judge had suggested that the law be amended to provide e for the election of probate judges for longer terms. It has also been pro- posed to Mir. Durham that the pro- bate judges of the larger districts of the state be put on a circuit much like that of the superior court

Williamson, w. V. - The state scored in the first legal skiYmish with the defense in the Matewan gun fight trial when Judge Robert D. Bailey sustained the motion of the prosecu- ton to the plea of the defense to quash the indictments charging 24 men with murder.
 Immediately after his ruling the court addressed 23 of the defendants, telling them they were charged with the murder of Albert C. Felts-the first case taken up by the state. To Judge Bailey's question of guilt or innocence. the g men answered in a chorus mot guilty
 The only one of the two dozen men not involved in the Albert Felts charge is Ezra Fry.
 Following the disarmament or der issued yesterday a distinct note of tranquility came over the court room. Every man who "toted'' a gun had to deliver it up N
 ''The spectacle of men accused of murder sitting on the defendants s bench with revolverS visible in either hip pockets must not be repeated the judge ordered. The only men who bore weapons in thee ourt room today were High Sheriff Pinson and his deputies. and a few army officers at- tached to the Federal troops in this region.
