 Wild west performances. attributed to town cutups, have turned Moosup into more or less of an armed camp. Rob bery of a store, an attempt to steal an automobile and raid on chicken coop all affairs of the present Week-have stirred peaceful citizens of Moosup to a point where they are not hesttating to take a pot shot at anybody or anything that looks snspicious about their prem lsts after nightfsIl, and with right good reason
 Following, quickly upon the heels of The robbery at the Champagne store, there came an attempt to steal car from a garage in the rear of 8 home where it is usually kept-an exchange pf shots between the owner of the car, who was sHslseped by the noisp about his premises, and an attempt to rob 2 poultry yard, with more shooting upon he part-of the owner of thts property.
 These events have stirred up Moogup to the point where anyone is apt to en- counter a man with gun-and, perhaps, This is as it should be. for too many are kakfng advantage of the 'non-employ- nent" claim to- get living by their wits rather than by working for an honest living.
 State police who have been giving time 70 investigation of the Moosup incidents have become convinced that the parties who robbed the Champagne store, though they afterwards lost the loot by being frightened off juH about at the cleanup moment, are the same as tried to steal the car to which reference has been made. An automatic revolver a pair of scissors identified as belonging to the Champagne store, and tool dropped in flight by the man who had backed. the car out of the garage from which it was being stolen establishes quite conclusive ly the connection between the Champagne store thieves and the would-be car thieves who seem to be having difficulty n getting away clesnly with the stunts their minds conceive.
 There are circumstances that have come to the attention of the state police hat indicate that Moosup's burglarious gang are home town boys. This has been busy week for them. They have risked much and gained little, tbt chances they have taken including get ting killed themselves as well as theil apparent willingness to kill anyone whC happens to interfere with their plan ts live by thievery.

 Those who shivered in Fridays wintry blasts from the northwest were inclined to disagree with the prophets who have been predicting mild winter. The cold CT weather was welcomed, however, espe- cialiy. by business men, who have noticed sfackness in trade chiefly attributable to unseasohable weather conditions.

official report that there were no ob- scene or immoral pictures shown in these places. And that is the truth now. Wherefore then is all this zeal for cen sorship over these places?
 The truth Is that the good, moral people who go to these moving picture shows, and very often bring their chil- dren with them, would not tolerate the exhibition of obscene or immoral pic lures there. A place in which such pie lures were exhibited would soon be without sufficient patrons to support it. At all events, the criminal law is ample to prevent the exhibition of such pie lures. I have asked these people who are crying out against the moving pie ture shows to give me an instance of an obscene or immoral picture being shown in them, so that the exhibitor may be prosecuted, but they have been unable to do so. What they insist on is to have the pictures examined in advance, and allowed or prohibited. That is what they are still doing in Russia with pictures and with reading matter gen. orally. Dc they really want us to re- cur to that system?

DENY SCHEME TO CENTRALIZE STATE
 EDUCATION WORK
Judge Shows State Laws Stipu- late for Separate School
 Districts.

Hartford, March 4-Replying to a statement of Secretary Meredith made at a hearing of the legislative com mittee on education, III which Secretary Meredith quoted a decision of former Chief Justice Baldwin i'll support of a claim that school districts are agents of the state, Judge Albert C. Bill, lawyer for the Hartford school district chair men quoted to show that it has been the policy of the state to trust school district affairs to district committees and that the state heretofore has not delegated matters concerning school dis trIcts entirely to the state board of ed uCatlOn,
 Judge Bill pointed out that Section 920 of the General Statutes 'gives the districts power to make agreements and regulations for establishing and con- ducting schools not inconsistent with the regulations of the towns having jurisdiction of the schools in such dis tricts." He said that it has been held that the district committee must obey the vote of the district as to rooms and teachers" and added that ''the com mittee's authority Is contingent on the district failing to act.'
 Reference was made by Judge Bill to the case of Hassett against Carroll, III which the supreme court ruled as fol- lows: By statute, the committee (school committee) are made agents of the school district. As such they were public agents and officials performing governmental duties. Our statutes have made school districts bodies corporate for a certain prescribed purpose and has employed them to lay taxes and borrow money for the accomplishment of these objects"

A. F. OF l.. IN CAMPAIGN
 FOR 5,OOO,OOO MEMBERS

Washington, March IA nation wide campaign to boost its membership to more than 5,OOOOOO workers now is being engineered by the American Fed eration of Labor, whose chiefs were in session here this week.
 President Samuel Gompers and other leaders believe this to be one way of meeting the challenge of the open shop war now being waged by the United States Steel Corporation and other big interests against labor.
 Gompers and other leaders who are expected to continue their conferences in the executive council here next week are receiving reports on recruiting from heads of the international unions.
 If the campaign succeeds as we'll as the leaders now claim 1t will there will be brought under the banner of organ ized labor approximately one-half of all the industrial workers of the United States.

10 TO 20 YEARS ASKED FOR PLACING
 SPIES IN UNIONS
Severe Penalty Proposed By Bill Offered in Massachusetts
 egisalturLe.

Ten to twenty years in prison will be the penalty for the placing of spies or agents provocateur inside of labor organizations, if a bill introduced in the Massachusetts legislature by Represen- tative George P. Webster of Roxford becomes law.
 Webster's action in filing the bill was largely impelled by an exclusive report on industrial espionage lately made by the social ethics department of Harvard university under the direction of Dr. Richard Cabot That report states that 200 detective agencies in the United age among working class organizations.
 There are 5000 typewriter pages in that report which lays bare countless instances of spying and the melting of direct action to wreck labor unions or to bring them into dis-epute. One out standing example of the wreckers' work Ill New England was the planting of dynamite by employers agents during the Lawrence strike of 1912.
 Various detective agencies of this kind represent themselves as industrial harmonizers,' says Representative Webster. That, of course, is camou- fage, since their actual purpose is to disrupt organized labor and to make fat fees for doing so."
 The industrial espionage bill will be backed, it is said, by the state organ ization of the American Federation of Labor and by the Boston Central Labor Union.
 Under this measure, any person 1i- censed as a private detective, or em- ployed to act as such, who advises or incites any person to commit violence or to inf1ict any unlawful injury upon persons or property, shall be punished by, prison sentence of not more than 2O nor less than 10 years and persons arrested and held for trail for such acts or indictment shall not be admitted to bail.
 Similar penalties would be provided for any person who authorizes or di- rects any employe to commit such acts and in addition would be liable for dou- b1e damages for all injuries to persons or property inflicted pursuant to such authorization or advice.
 When the bill comes up for hearing it is understood that Dr. Cabot will be summoned to testify concerning indus trial espionage agencies and employers who utilize them.

RAILWAY LABOR
 ASKS IMMEDIATE
 ACTION ON WAGE
Wants Federal Board to Compel Conference Between Roads
 and Workers.

Washington, D. C., March 4.-Rall- way labor, through it's general counsel, Frank P. Walsh, has petltloned the fed- eral Railroad Labor Board at Chicago for an immediate decision on labor's re- quest for the calling of a general con ference between railway executives and labor leaders tC. settle grievances and complaints as to rules and national agreements. A decision without delay was desirable, said Mir. Walsh, since it may be necessary for us to seek judicial determination as to certain tea lures of the Transportation Act and as to certain interpretations of the act Dy the carriers, by ourselves, and by your honorable body" He also pointed out that the decision would have great bearing on the scope and character of abor's reply on March 10 to the carriers attacks on the rules and working agree mentS.
 The board has been engaged for sev- eral months in hearing arguments on the agreements. Labor representatives want the entire controversy referred to con- ference for adjustment i'll accordance with the law but the railway executives have declined to meet with the national representatives of the workers.
 The text of Mr. Walsh's petition is as follows:
 "On February Y, 1921, in behalf of the organizations for which l have en- tered an appearance before your honor able body, formal request was sub mitted for a recommendation by the board that all grievances and complaints of the railway executives as to rules and national agreements be remanded to a general conference between the na- tional organization of the carriers and the national representatives of the rail way employees.
 We now ask that the board hand down at the earliest possible moment its ruling or decision on that request. 1t is essential that we know at as early a moment as possible the decision of the board in this important matter, as 1t necessarily will determine largely the scope and character of our preparation in the cause which the board has set for hearing March 10, 1921.
 Tt may be necessary for us to seek judicial determination as to certain fea- lures of the Transportation Act and as to interpretations of the act by, the carriers, by ourselves and by your hon. orable body, and for this additional reason we urge respectfully that the board hand down its decision as soon as possible.
 "This statement Is made to the board with no thought of influencing it's de- cision, for in that behalf we rest on our argument of February 17, but i'll frank explanation of our present d1tf1- culties and with the sincere desire to dispose of pending matters as expeditl- ous1v as is possible in the circum- stances"

Prevented Permit Juggling

From January 16 to July 1 last, Mo Carthy had charge of all New York state with the exception of New York city. He was relieved of the New York territory July 1, owing to the increase of reported violations in the New Eng land district. Within the past year he has seized liquor, automobiles carrying contraband liquor and obtained fines and taxes on breWeries totaling more than $3O,OOO,OOO.
 Regarding the offer of $5 gallon on liquor withdrawn from Massachusetts bonded warehouses under New York permits, Mccarthy said that he assigned two men to remain with all withdraw a1s from Boston to see that they were shipped to the original consignee. This, he said, prevented the transfer and juggling of the permits to liquor deal CTS who would turn over their permits for large sums of money and have the liquor diverted for beverage purposes. By this system of protecting the ware houses Mccarthy discovered leak in the forged permit withdrawals which resulted in every bonded warehouse in the country being closed.
 One of the most important raids made on counterfeit printing plants, where fake labels were printed, was made by Mccarthy and his agents re- gently in Boston when they raided the plant of a Hanover street printer and seized counterfeit labels, bottled in bond labels, doctors prescriptions and the plates for producing labels of a one time popular gin. Two men connected with the plant were arrested and held in $10,0O0 for the grand jury.
