 Democratic interests are reported Go be scouting about the city in an effort to bring forth the strongest possible mayoralty candidate to pit against the choice of the republican primary next spring.
 The democratic town committee an- nounced several weeks ago that an early start was planned this spring. The Jeffersonians are encouraged by the turnovers from the republican to the democrat parties in several of the larger Connecticut cities, and are hopeful that a similar turnover can be brought about here.
 Since the city has been recognized as republican stronghold with few democrat victories recorded, the town committee realizes that this will re- quire considerable effort. To that end strong ward organizations are being planned. Lawyer David l.. Dunn, chairman of the town committee, is planning to call a meeting shortly for that purpose.
 Among the more prominently men, tioned democrat possibilities, the name of Alderman Angelo NJ. Paonessa is being mentioned persistently The alderman is considering candidacy, but as yet has come out with no for nal statement. Last year he was in a receptive mood, also, although he did not come out as a candidate.
 He is senior alderman and has been q member of the common council for about 0 years. He is chairman of the license committee and heads the common council transportation com mittee.

STRIKE. IS SAID
Work in Fields Will Cease in
Ninety Days, Engineer Be-
lieves; Real Struggle to
Come Then

NEW YORK.-The real facts of the
coal strike are not understood clearly
by the public, coal mining engineers
insist. according to a view gathered
from them by the American Engineer
ing Council and made public last week.
The engineers declare that nationalist.
tion OF mines would be dangerous and
socialistic and that victory for the mi.
ners would prove their own undoing.
The nations coal bill includes too
much unemployment and too little pro-
ductlve work" George Otis Smith, di.
rector Of the United States Geological
Survey said, "and there is a shameful
waste of human energy instead OF an
exhibit OF Industrial thrift"
Edwin Ludlow. a prominent engineer,
asserted that in 80 days. unless some.
thing happened before then, there will
become complete cessation OF work
in the coal fields, "and then the real
battle will begin"
