CAUSE OF VIOLENCE

In 999 cases out of every 1000
where violence in trade disputes is in
dulged in it is started by gunner,
thugs and hirelings in the employ of
the firm or corporation with which the
dispute is taking place.
Eliminate the professional strike
breaker, gunner and thug and nine
tenths of all resorts to violence will
be swept aside.
Whenever a professional strike
breaker slugs or shoots a striking
union man the militia follows just as
naturally as day follows night.
Corporations know this and intro
duce professional strikebreaking gun
men as one Of the surest and quick
est means of getting the militia to act
as pickets and bodyguards for strike
breakers.

Town Meeting Out
 of Favor in Milford

In the belief that the town cannot longer be efficiently managed under the present form of government-the old town meeting, Milford taxpayers are carefully considering the revision of the present system. The question of changing the town government has been agitated during the two years but definite acton which would bring the matter to a head is expected to be taken before the next town cleo ton.
 The Chamber of Commerce has sug- gested a city form of government for Milford, and this suggestion has been approved by other Organizations in tho town.
 Exponents of the city form of man agemert state that the town meeting type of government becomes unwieldy in a large community. Another point which the advocates of the suggested d form advance is that when under the present system one section desires some improvement or privilege, that section sends its entire population to the meeting, thus dominating the gathering and outvoting representa- t1VeS of larger districts

IN PARLIAMENT A
 LONG TIME BUT
 MAKES NO SPEECHES
John Hope, g Years iii House of Commons, Serves Without "Gift of Gab.''
By DAVID M. CHURCH, (1nternational News Service Staff
 Correspondent

London, July 24-Attention, mem bers of the Congress of the United Statesi
 This is the tale of a man from whose book many members of the Congress of the United States might take a leaf and bring joy to the American public.
 John Hope has been a member ot the British House of Commons for tweEty-two years and has rot yet made his maiden speech.
 Hope is a regular attendant at the House of Commons and has the rare record of having won out in seven contested elections, in which he has fought every political party.
 Why don't I speak in the House ?'' echoed Hope when he was questioned Well, I have found that can do more by not talking
 When I entered the House first of all I had no idea of never speak ing a speech.
 But time went on, and the maid en speech was still undelivered-al- though I have been tempted to do it more than once, and friends have urged me to break the record-and now I'm afraid it will never be de livered"
 Hopes reluctance to speak is not because of any inability to do so. not shy. When he wants anything he goes directly to the responsible Minister of the Cabinet and gener- ally gets what he wants, because he is one man who has never attempted to browbeat the Cabineteers across the chambers of the House of Com mons.
 Hope bids fair to keep his word and De the one speeches. member of the House of Commons, and if he does So he will take away the record created by William Gerard Hamilton, who in the eighteenth century gained for himself the name of Single Sneech Hamilton" because he is supposed to have never made but one speech in Commons In the dim, distant past 1t is reported there was a member or Commons who never opened his lips in the House except on one oc- casion, and then it was to ask that a window be closed
 This habit of ioratorical self-re- traint on the part of Hope is looked upon as most mendable, particu- Iarly from the House Press Gallery Undoubtedly there are many in Amer lea who would welcome a similar self restraint in some of the amending orators of the Congress of the United States.
