ties.
The approach of sine die adjournment
apparently made the delegates refrain
from debate. and finally they buried
the end by directing that unfinished
committee reports be Incorporated In
the convention proceedings. and II any
required action that such be taken by
the executive council. This was ra-
garded as tantamount to blanket in
doris sment of the committee reports. tho
only one Of importance that was not
presented being that of the special
policy committee on industrial court
laws. which was certain to condemn
such legislative enactments.
Aside from the political and the Rus
sian questions. the convention disposed
of a mass of miscellaneous business in a
hurried fashion. For the seventeenth
time. the claim Of jurisdiction OF the
glass workers over the making OF molds
for glass containers was affirmed by the
convention. the decision being against
the machinists.
A promise of financial aid to striking
textile workers and quarrymen was
held out by the executive council being

He must obtain the consent OF an in

What happened was the result of
the dominance of an organized minority.
And that dominance is the greatest
menace facing this country to-day"
What Is the remedy?" asked Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts,.
Backbone in public men," Senator
Myers answered. "and that is the only
remedy of which I know. The only effec-

Face to face talks between Adminis-
tration officers and the bituminous coal
operators and similar talks with repre-
sentatives of the striking union coal
miners may result soon from efforts Of
the Federal Government to end the bl-
luminous coal strike.
Members of the Cabinet are not en-
tirely in accord as to the extent or the
surety of beneficial effects from further
Government interference in the strike
situation, although Federal authorities
are watching closely all manifestations
of violence in the mining region.
Government efforts toward solution or
settlement rest largely in the hands Of
Secretary of Labor Davis. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, however, is a
principal and has conducted most Of the
negotiations or exchanges with coal
operators.
Secretary Davis believes the time
opportune for suggestion and guidance
from the Federal Government and his
plans. it has been made known. will
carry.
Both operators and miners have con-
ceded something by way of attitude and
position since the strike began eleven
weeks ago, and II is now proposed that
Federal officials talk to the respective
sides individually and ascertain just
how far each is willing to go TO end the
strike. 1t will be suggested to the
operators that they consider State, or
possibly four State. agreement in
stead of the district agreements for
which they have held out.

''The Illinois coal operators believe
that mine wages should be reduced to
an extent that would permit of the re-
duction in previous cost of coal by
approximately 81 ton. Even such
decrease in the rates of pay which
would permit such "a reduction in the
cost of coal at the mines would still
enable the miners to earn in their ad

more than is earned by worknien in

in 1918 was so extensive that he was
mentioned as a possible candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket by
an assemblage OF 1900 who attended a
sale of cattle at his breeding farm.
The hot water bottle treatment was
carried on by Charles Z. Cole, one of
Cabana's employees. II is charged. While
in Mr.. Cabana's employ Cole claimed
TO have made many unusually high and
remarkable records, some of which were
the best in the world.
One OF the cows was reported to have
given 50.67 pounds of butter in seven
days. and another COW from Coles farm.
which he established in Vermont after
leaving Mr.. Cabana in 1918, was re-
ported giving upwards of 81 pounds.
Later suspicious were aroused, and, 1t
is said, Pnkerton detectives caught Cole
perpetrating a fraud.
Admitted Fake Records.
The matter came before the associa-
tion at a meeting in Brattleboro in 1919,
according to their answer. and Cole ap-
peared to tell of the use of the hot water
bag.
The bag. it is said, was suspended
from his neck and cor cealed under his
clothing. A rubber tube with a cork
stopper attached to the lower end Of the
bag could be slipped through a rip in his
overalls. so that towards the end of the
milking. or when there was suitable op-
portunity he pulled the cork and dis
charged the contents of the hot water
bag into the milk pail. thereby increas-
ing the percentage Of butter fat con-
tanned therein"
Cole is said to have admitted using
this contrivance on the Cabana farm
and also to have remarked that there
was mot an honest record In excess Of
35 pounds. except one, and that he
helped cows in the records they made"
Before an investigating committee OF
the association could cancel Mr.. Cabana's
records 1t is said he started an injunc-
ton suit The Court of Appeals finally
ruled that on proper proof the associa-
tion had the power to cancel the records.
Justice Donnelly reserved decision IN
the Brady suit.

 The week of December 3-9 has been set aside as American Education

 New Britain has as fine a school system as there is in the country, and the children of this city are we'll taken care of. At present there are sev- eral children in the elementary grader attending only one session, but we hope to remedy this condition in the spring. With the existing laws rela- tive to education there is little danger of the future generations being in- terate; however, there are among our citizens many who can neither read nor write, and this condition is due In no small measure to the fact that foreign countries have not the same standard of education as we have.
 Tt is possible for any foreigner to learn the English language and be- come thoroughly familiar with Am erican history, laws and customs through the evening schools conduct ed by our board of education, and am taking this opportunity of urging them to avail themselves of this won derful chance to better their condi- tion in life and of becoming Ameri- can citizens. The city wants to help newcomers to our shores and fur nishes them with comfortable school rooms and competent teachers; ana it is the duty of every citizen of this city to cooperate with the school board and send to it's evening schools all recent arrivals from foreign shores so that they might be taught inn American ideals and when they do take the oath of allegiance to America they will thoroughly under stand and appreciate what it means to be an American citizen.
 During the week request the of children attending our schools to visit the class rooms and | zee for themselves efforts being made oy New Britain through it's school de- oartment to prepare their boys and girls for the great adventure of life."
