An Omen Letter to H. $. Hart


 The following has been submitted to the Herald in the form of an open letter answering H. $. Harts recent salary cut letter to his constituents:
 Ever since the present mayor has held office the policy has been cut, cut. cut, until New Britain has be- come the joke and laughing stock of Connecticut The condition of its streets, its deplorabe lack of lights at night, it's dire need of some place of protection when waiting for cars (and the waits are long and many, no matter what the elements are doing) in fact anything and everything that goes to make city attractive and a desirable place to live in New Britain has been cut out of. When the fac tory hands were getting their in- creases the city employees were liN- ing on the same old wage, and it was not until a couple of years after prices of food and rent and clothes had scared heavenward, that they received their extra pay. You speak or the tax rate being owercd-when the tax rate was raised our rent was raised more than four times the extra amount that the owner had to pay in taxes, he lived in the house; one would naturally think he would as- sume half of the increase. He not only did not do that but he made money on us and his excuse was "our tax rates have gone up." And he owned many houses. Instead of the landlords bewailihg the higher tax rate they ought to welcome it. It is a fallacy that lower taxes mean lower rents.
 The library appropriation has been cut so, there are very few new books to be had and the people are fiocking to the stores and paying their two cents a day for the new books; the employees there are getting less than the women who go out and work by the day, and yet they have to be educated, we'll dressed people. The firemen are on duty all the time; they are like Child's restaurants never closed", perhaps they are not in danger very often, but when they are the danger is great and of the most terrible kind; they are called upon to sacrifice their lives for others and they do it grandly, and yet you want to cut them; the police are the same. O~ar 75 per cent of the popu- lation of the city is foreign, and the only possible way to make them de- sirable citizens is by education and yet you would cut that appropriation. 1t is a good thing the churches do not come under the citys jurisdiction or on its payroll, or they would be cut too.
 What New Britain needs is con- structive government, not destructive. Instead of it's policy of cut, cut, cut, it ought to be build, improve, grow, pay good wages to good employees, good work and get it, and in turn New Britain will be a place to go to, not to get out of, as it is at present.
 Signed.

was an informal session, to discuss the action of the board of finance in cuttins the request for a $6,O00 ap- propriation out of the budget. It was decided that the fact that 96 per cent of the children in the first five grades in school are in need of dental attention, 10 per cent of them already having developed cavi- ties in their permanent molars, would have some influence on the meeting of council.
 Wrong Time to Stop.
 There was quite a discussion con- cerning the relation of the lack of health instruction in the schools, in- cluding dental hygiene with the ''hu'' and tuberculosis.
 With over 100 cases of sfu," son1t of them decidedly serious. and ap- proximately 5000 cases of tubercuIo- sis. the committee feels that this is no time to drop whatever prevent i've work might be on foot. The funds on hand are sufficient to carry the work through until the first of April and it is felt that some solu- tIoIl lU tHS PI oDlCil Nlli idVC pSCh reached by that time.
 Wipe Out "TB." in 10 Years.
 In speaking of the need Of such instruction in the schools at this time, and it's connection with the tu- berculosis conditions, Dr. Frank Zwick, chairman of the health board and chairman Of the dental clinic committee, stated after the meeting: rTuberculoss could be stamped out entirely in 40 years if everybody ac cepted' and practiced the present scientific Knowledge concerning the disease"
 "In New York city," continued pr. ZWicl, "the percentage of cases of tuberculosis has been reduced con- siderably, due to preventive meas ures, one of which is dental hygiene instruction in the schools In order to bring about the stamping out of tu berculosis this scientific knowledge possessed by experts must be i'm parted to the public, and there is no better way of doing it than to- instill it into the mind of the child of the coming generation.
 "Penny Wise" Etc..
 'Tuberculosis can be checked lust as well as smallpox or typhoid fever, but instead of. doing it by anti-toxin or vaccination it is done by educa- ton. But if we want to give this scientific knowledge to our younger generation we must expect to pay for it. It would be serious mistake to drop the work now The penny wise and pound foolish theory holds good today as when it first was originated.

FeD. ID, Ig21, More About The Bargc Canal

Editor:
 l was very much interested in~that article in Mondays Herald about the old canal between New Haven and Northampton. My remembrance of it is confined to Pennington. My par cnts lived in Farmingtorh on street going from the main street towards the canal. From q west window we could see one of the basins where boats could lay over, or take on mer- chandse.
 When the captains blew their horns an older brother and sister and myself would run to the window to see the boats. The Vast boat that ! remember, was going toward New Haven and l think that was the last one before the water was let out of Athe canal.

CHINESE SLAIN
 BY THOUSANDS
Mutinous Troops Slaughter Women and Children; Fear
 Safety of Missionaries

SHANGHAI, June 22.-(By the As sociated Press)-Lives of missionaries in the Catholic LaZarist mission at Tai Ho are endangered by the mutin- ous troops of the Picking government in Kiang Si Province, according to a telegram received here today from the mission. The church school was burned and 600 Christian converts, who took refuge in the mission have appealed for assistance against the mutineers.
 The report from Tai Ho, which is 20 miles south of Kian Flu in Kiane Si province, says all the buildings at Kian Flu were razed and women and children slaughtered. Although re- ports to mission stations here tell of thousands of Chinese being slaught- cred, and great property damage be- ing wrought by the mutineers. no au- thentic report as yet of loss of life among foreigners has been received.
 Great anxiety is felt. however, for the Christians in the LaZSrist mission, as the telegram said the refugee con verts were besieged in the compound by the Chinese soldiers
 Three British and two American gunboats are speeding up the Kan river to the zone of terror, which ex- tends over a considerable area of cen tral Kiang Si. It is believed more than a hundred missionaries in this region are in peril.

British War Chief Slain by Assassins
Asks Investigation of Office of Alien Property Agent

WASHINGTON, June 22.- Demand for congressional investigation of the office of the alien property custo- dian was made in the house tonight by Representative Woodruff, Republi- can, Michigan, who charged that the aggregate value of the properties held by the custodian as shown by his lat est report, was nearly a quarter of a billion dollars less than we might req sonably expect to find there"
 Only an impartial investigation, the Michigan representative declared, would disclose how much "of this shrinkage is due to depreciation through administration, how much to sale of properties below their req sonable value, how much to practical gifts to officials, friends, and favorites of the custodian's office"
 Woodruff introduced a resolution or an investigation, declaring that charges of maladministration, discrim ination between alien enemies and American citizens whose property was seized, and payment of excessive fees to attorneys ''have been so frequent as to create a condition which cannot be ignored without grave injury to the good name of our country"

F FORECAST BIG
 MAJORITY WILL
 FAVOR STRIKE
Leaders Predict 98 Per Gent of Railway Shop Men Will
 Vote For Walk-Out

CHICAGO, June 22.-(By The As sociated Press s.)-Despite a lull in the flow of. strike ballots into the unions for two days, every mail to- day brought stacks of the colored slips, and tonight union officials pre- dicted that a canvass of the vote could be taken by Sunday, and that it would stand 9S per cent in favor of a walk-out.
 Ten general chairmen reached Chi cago today, preparatory to the gen eral chairmen's committee meeting on Saturday, and began tabulating the strike votes.
 Some delay in the receipt of ballots was ascribed by union headquarters to the fact that many of the ballots, which were shipped out by parcel post, were returned the same way after being marked and consequently were held up in the mails until first class postage was paid Thirty con- tract cases, scheduled for hearing before the railroad labor board June 26, cannot have any possible effect on the strike question over the con- tracting of shop work to outside firms, according to John Scott, sec retary of the railway employees de- partment of the American Federation of Labor.
 The board recently took jurisdiction of six roads, where the farming out process had aroused protect from the shop men, and will hear those cases along with the two dozen others next Monday. It is expected that the strike vote will have been compiled by that date, however, and possibly action taken on the vote by the gen. eral committee.
