ALL-HARTFORDS PLAY WILLIAMS
 s~ HERE SUNDAY

The All Hartford team will be the attraction at Weiss Park on Sunday afternoon and the local Williams are preparing warm reception for the Capitol City eleven which is consid- cred the strongest team in the state at the present time ....
 The Williams management had just about given up hope of being able to get the All-Hartford team to play in New Haven and were making ar engagements to bring the crack Ro- chester, N. Y., team with their great array of college talent when the All Hartford team sent word that the financial Inducements offered by the local management was acceptable.
 The locals are now playing very fast game and it will take a mighty strong team to slip a win over on them this season at least. The addi- ton of Herman, the Yale brilliant, and Nagle, who is considered the best end ever to play that position around here, have filled up the only weak spots on the team The brand of football dis played in the game against Bridgeport last Sunday when they slipped over two touchdowns while holding the Park City outfit scoreless put them back in the running once more for the state championship.
 The All-aHrtfords will be minus the services of one of their aces as Mickey Landers will be unable to play owing to an operation which he had performed recently The loss of Landers, of course, is a severe blow to the chances of the Capitol City outfit but they are confident they can beat the Williams without the services of the brilliant Mickey"
 The game will start at 2:3o o'clock sharp and capable officials will be in charge of the game.

PUT NO TRUST IN COERCION BY THE
 BIG INDUSTRIES
(From an Address by U. S. Senator
 George Wharton Pepper0

It is easy to make a catalogue of reasons in favor of strong-arm methods. It eases the mind of a man who wants coal in his cellar to decalre vehemently in favor of compelling people to work, or, what is the same thing, of fore ing them to accept specified terms and conditions of em- emotional relief to picture the courts as the tribunals for ending industrial wars.
 Urgency of that sort overlooks some fundamentals. The first is that in a free country we can not by governmental action compel people to work. The second is that when a strike is on, the strikers are enough in earnest to wish their strike to be effective and that means that it becomes their interest to create conditions under which their places will not be'effectively filled by others. The third fact IS that while under all conditions government must pro- tect life and property, yet if we insist upon interpreting the courts u uldSSSS Ol SlllZtllS dS IlCI OD- stacles to industrial justice we shall not only be undermining popular respect for our most i'm portant institution but we shall be straining government to the breaking point
 Those are some of the consid- erations which you must bear in mind in deciding whether it is longer worth while to talk about compulsory arbitration or govern mental coercion either through courts or specially constituted tribunals.
 Let us at least, however, be honest enough to recognize that we are foundering and let us not make frantic appeals to govern ment and force to work the mir acles which we do not deserve. Let us put no strust in industrial coercion. Let us make no appeal to the courts beyond the barest limits of protection to life and property, and let us never make an appeal, even in those cases, a covert method of imposing upon the courts an impossible jurisdic- ton over all industrial happiness and welfare

A very interesting point has been raised over play which occurred in the Harvard-Princeton game which is generally discussed among football fans throughout the city. The play referred to came as a result of a liar ward tumble and with three or four Princeton players in mad. scramble for the ball it was kicked by one of the Princeton players. The referee pena1ized Princeton five yards but the rule book says something different about the penalty which should be in fiicted
 Under Rule XIX, Sectoin 2, of the Official Football Guide we find that "A loose ball i'll possession of neither side, may not be kicked or kicked at" after that we find the penalty for such an ocense reads, "Loss of ball to opponents at spot where the foul occurred"
 The Princeton touchdown came when Gehrke standing on his own 25 yard line was tackled by Gray, the ball finally landing near the 2o-yard mark The referee detected the Princeton man kicking the ball and gave the five yard penalty. The Tigers made their touchd own few plays after the recovered tumble which was enough to win the game without the additional kick wrich was scored later in the game.
 Nearly all the papers have carried stories in which the team from the jungles is likened to the one which Sam White made famous some years back. It has been called a team of opportunists, but 1t also might be compared to Sammy Whites great team for the luck it had and be re- ferred to as Princeton, the lucky" In both cases the breaks" were in favor of Princeton as a great many people questioned the legality of the touchdown made by the great Sam my" the same as they do now on the play which indir ectly led to the touchdown against Harvard.
 Another play which has also been receiving considerable discussion bob bed up in a game in which one of the local teams played leading part. The Lenox travelled to Stamford Sun day and were beaten by the score of 9 to 2. At one stage Of the game the Lenox had the ball on the Stamford two-yard mark when a tumble oc- cured which sent the ball over the goal line into the arms of one of the Stamford players. The player made an attempt to rush the ball out but was tackled and thrown behind his own goal line The referee ruled the play safety while. the members of the Lenox claim touchdown should have been given by the referee if he knew the game What do you think about 1t?

COAL ROBBERY OF MILLIONS
 ADMITTED BY RETAILERS WHO
 ROB NATION BY WEIGHT CHEAT
By International Labor News Service.


 Washington, D. C., Nov r7.-"E the country are robbed of hundreds through short weight" says resolr ors and the executive committee of Coal Merchants.
 The coal retailers ought to know what goes on in their own business. Examination into the facts by the International Labor News Service in dicates that actual conditions are even worse than the confessions of the retailers. The retail robbery is esti- mated at $25o,ooo,ooo annually and the number of householders who know that they are being robbed is negligible The national association explains why in this resolutions:
 Coal is cumbersome and bought seldom," reads the resolution. "It is impracticable for householders to have big scales at home and there fore crooked coal dealers take advant- age of shortage periods and under the pretense of serving the poor people at cut prices, these crooked dealers de liver I,5oo pounds, instead of a ton of 2,ooo pounds. If coal is $I6 ton the customer is robbed of $4."
 The outrageous prices charged those who buy coal by the basket has nothing to do with this story, which concerns those who buy by by crooked dealers in favor of wealthy customers When dealer is able to sell 6I tons out of carload of 48 tons there Is something wrong, something for investigation by the United States Coal Commission. It is believed that such an investigation will be made, and the retail coal deal CTS have named a committee of five to represent the national association in the Investigation. The association directs its criticism against those who cut prices, but the blame for short weight rests upon large number who do not pretend to cut prices.
 According to figures on the con sumption of coal in the United States prepared by the Geological Survey, in response to requests for such infor- nation, householders buy 57,ooo,ooo tons of bituminous coal annually and 5o,ooo,o ,ooo tons of anthracite coal, If So per cent of this IS sold at short weight for $8 and $I6 respectively, the public Is mulcted to the sum of $25o, o,ooo,o ,ooo.
 Large consumers of coal have long since ceased buying coal on faith. Hey HOl Ouly AdNC SCdICS lO ChCSh every ton of coal delivered but the larger industrial consumers test it and buy according to heat units. They have found through costly experience that anything that looked black would be sold as coal unless the consumer protected himself. The old maxim "Let the buyer beware" seems to be favorite in the coal trade and since the big buyers are all bewaring,- the little buyer, the householder is get ting trimmed.
 When the United States govern ment buys coal 1t specifies that the coal must be dry and practically free from slate, dirt, sulphur, and other foreign substances, subject to the usual inspection. and test and must weigh 2,24o pounds per ton.''
 The householder pays for 2,ooo pounds, but is lucky, according to the retailers own statement, if he gets 500 pounds delivered.

Cooperative associations of actors
have been common in the present
theatrical season. There are num-
ber OF them in London. Several have
tried their fortunes in New York.
Various causes have combined to en-
courage their formation. They are
chiefly to be attributed to the willing
ness OF the actors, when they unite,
to take their chances OF profit. In
proprietary production the manager
on the other hand, must assume re.
sponsibility whatever the material
conditions may be. The actors will
always hold him strictly accountable
He was not always willing to be en-.

tion of very important Federal law
Senator FRANCE may have been ut
terly unconscious of even the ex.
istence of the law forbidding su:h
acts by American officials or by
American private citizens. There are
very many things Senator FRANCE
does not know about his own Govern
ment, it's laws, which he helps to
make, its traditions and it's ideals.
But however ignorant Senator
FRANCE may have been about the
statutes designed to protect his coun-
try from the evils and dangers Of
foreign intermeddling with its af
fairs under incitement by American
marplpts or crackbrains, it is singu-
lar that in such matter he should
have shown neither the intelligence
nor the good taste Of even a Bolshe.

TcHrcHERIN. the Russian spokes-
man at Genoa, cleverly refused to do
what Senator FRANCE did not hesi-
tate to do blunderingly in the mat
ter of committing questionable act,
II not grave offense against the
United States Government.
Senator FRANCE, according to the
charges laid against him before the
Department of Justice, solicited
TcHITcHERIN, among other Genoa
delegates, to favor resolution at the
conference urging American partici-
patton in It's proceedings. But the

ness, not to mention delicacy, than
Senator FRANCE had shown, neatly
avoided the issue. replying by cable
that "the Russian delegation cannot
make any suggestions in this regard.

embraces more of the Socialist and
Bolshevist isms that seem to have
such a fascination for him he could

Our Newest Timber Nursery

II the area under cultivation in
any county decreases by $4,000 acres
in ten years it is apparent that one
of two things must be done. agri-
cultural methods must be changed
or the land must be put to use other
than raising food crops.
This was the situation found by the
State Conservation Commission in
Lewis county. AS the farming outlook
was not promising the commission
decided to establish there a great
reforestation plant in conjunction
with certain parts of Oswego, Oneida
and st. Lawrence counties. The re-
gion has been pronounced ideal for
the enterprise.
This reforestation plant will be used
as a central nursery to serve the ter
ritory within which thUtrees can be
delivered by truck, thus obviating
freight charges, which amount to
about 40 per cent. Of the cost of the
trees when they have to be sent a long
distance. Spring planting has been
so heavy this year that there are
only 100000 trees in the commits.
sion's nurseries which are unsold.
Up to April orders for 3,150,000
trees had been filed. This is 1918
600 in excess of the requirements Of
a year ago, and the commission in
anticipation of a still greater demand
next season is planning to produce
between 100000 and 100000 trees
annually. This will bring the output
of the State nurseries up to 15,00o,-
900 trees a year.
Communities everywhere these
days are planting trees and April %,
Arbor Day, bids fair to see excep-
tional activities in branch of civic
endeavor that will have lasting eco
nomic benefit. One undertaking
which is especially notable is the
project of the school children of Troy
to plant 10000 trees, both white pine
and spruce, around the Tomhannock
reservoir, from which the citys
water supply is secured.
Gradually the idle and waste lands
Of the country are being put to work
and rendered profitable by reforesta.
tion. II matters little that many of
those who plant the trees will not
live to share in the benefit Of the
movement. There are certain things
worth while doing for posterity, and
the growing Of trees is one Of them.
