Chief Executive Points Out That This

Nomination.
Mayor Angelo NJ. Paonessa, who IL
a member OF the democratic con-
gressional committee, has communi-
Gated with Chairman Henry J. Calnen
Of Hartford, in an effort to have the
convention held In this city this year.
Mr.. Calnen In his answer to the
mayors request has assured him that
the proposal will be brought before
the committee for consideration. The
chairman expresses himself as in
favor OF so honoring the Hardware
is generally expected that favorable
action will be taken on the request
First In 80 Years
Mayor Paonessa has pointed out
that this city has been given little
consideration in recent years both in
respect to nominations for congress
and congressional conventions. Only
once in the last 80 years has a local
democrat sought the nomination. he
being the late Robert J. Vance, who
was elected to congress at that time.
When Mr.. Vance was a candidate,
Litchfeld Co. was included in the first
congressional district. Since that time
the entire state has been redistrict.

Hartford, New Britain and Bristol
all have candidates for the nomina-
ton.
In Hartford Fred Holt OF the City
Bank and Trust company has ex-
pressed himself as willing to run IL
he is given the nomination, but 1t
is not expected that he will make an
active canvass. Ex-Mayor JOS. Dut-
ton of Bristol, who ran two years ago
is making a more or less active cam
paign to secure the nomination. Ex-
Mayor Joseph M. Halloran of this city
is the most active of the trio. He has
canvassed the cities and towns Of
practically the entire district and re-
ports considerable sentiment in favor
of recognizing New Britain's request

Looks Like This City
At the Hull dinner in New Haven
several weeks ago it was generally
conceded that it would be good prac-
tical politics to allow New Britainss
candidate to have the honor of run
ming for congress. Hartford, 1t now
appears. will be recognized with the
nomination for the United States
senator, Thomas J. Spellacy's candf-
dacy having met little opposition.
With one of the two major nominal
tions already given to that city, it is
believed that the congressional nomin-
alton should go elsewhere, democrat
leaders explain. and to assure a heavy
vote in New Britain, the Hardware
city is being very seriously consider
ed.
1t is probable that meeting Of
the congressional committee will be
held shortly for the purpose of draft
ing a recommendation for the state
central committee, whose meeting will
be in July. The convention will take
place in August with elections coming

New York. June 2.-Elbert H. Gary,
chairman Of the United States Steel

legislative committee today thwarted
efforts of Samuel Untermyer commit

sions that ]. P. Morgan dominated
the corporation.
1T 1t not a fact that ]. P. Morgan

Mr.. Untermyer demanded.
Certainly not" retorted Mr.. Gary.
who does name them?"
'The stockholders"
Then They Smiled.
Mr.. Untermyer smiled and Mr..
Gary smiled back at him.
Who really names them? Mr.. I'm
termyer persisted.
''I'll have to admit and claim said
Mr.. Gary, that / do more of that
than anyone else, and always have"
Mr. Untermyer then tried to get Mr.
Gary to admit that he and Mr.. Nor
gan together controlled the corpora
ton and that the other five members
of its finance committee which he
had testified selected the directors
were mere rubber stamps"
That is not fact said Mr.. Gary.
''The other members aid in their Sc
lection"
He then recounted how, last year,
he and President Farrell had selected
three directors who were elected
against Mr.. Morgan's judgment but
not against his wishes"
Prices Are Cheaper.
Mr.. Gary testified that his corpora
ton was able to deliver its products
at SO ton less than it's independent
competitors.
He did not think the differential
ever ran as high as IS ton, as
stated yesterday by John A. Topping
chairman of the Republic Iron and
Steel Co. Mr.. Topping had testified
that the great difference In costs made
1t practically impossible for the inde-
pendents to compete with U. s. Steel.
Mr.. Gary conceded the difference In
costs was largely accounted for by the
fact that U. S. Seel owned more than
1900 miles of railroad connecting it's
plants with ore centers.
Insisting upon the corporations
justification in owning and operating
it's own lines. Mr.. Gary was asked by
Samuel Utermyer, counsel for the
committee how he reconciled such
joint ownership with the court ruling
in the Reading case where it was held
that joint ownership of railroads and
coal mines was illegal.
Il am not very familiar with that
case" he replied.
Would Keep Rails.
"Then you are not keeping pace
with the law" Mr.. Untermyer said
smiling.
Mr.. Gary said U. S. Steel would
object strongly to being divorced from
its, railroads asserting he did not be-
lieve ownership of the lines gave the
an unfair advantage over
it's competitors.

wounds in the legs. This wounded
man was brought here in a touring
car and is thought to have been plac-

police headquarters that the Charles
Rogers described by Cunningham does
not appear to be the same man who
this noon was being questioned in

said to correspond with the make of
a car which the Charles Rogers un-

London, Nov. lS.-Very serious trou-
bic is brewing in Palestine according
to The News Of the World, which states
that General Tudor and other officials
on the spot regard the future with
grave apprehension"
The Arabs on the border and in
Palestine itself. the paper says, may
at any time attack the Jewish immi-

rooted hostility" The governments
authority is being openly houted by
what is known as the "Moslem- Chris
tian association"
A manifesto has been issued, calling
upon the population to disobey the in
! structions issued for the taking OF the
census, and the association has decid-
ed to invoke the aid of kemal Pasha,
| the Turkish Nationalist leader.
Our position" continues The News

without any advantage to ourselves
and under q mandate from the league

at cost Of many millions a year for

thus mourning the hostility Of the

I'VE may shortly find ourselves faced
in Palestine with a situation similar
to that in Turkey. We shall either
have to fight or give way. The ques-
ton is what would I'VE be lighting for,
and what would we gain by fighting?'

the paper adds. Owing to the action

nothing has yet arisen calculated to
change this firm resolve of the
French people to protect themselves.
We have nowhere seen anything to
indicate that Borah is not perfectly
willing for the farmers to indulge in
vain imaginings and to throw on the
Harding administration the burden of
setting them right. He has not con-
suited the Administration, he does
not know what the President acting
within his rights as the chief eXecu-
tive has undertaken, subject to later
approval by Congress. Possibly he
does not care, or possibly he does and
takes this way of finding out, of
forcing the hand of the Administra-

with regard to our foreign relations,
concerning which our political fill

We Pay Strike Dues
public Ledger)

Last summer and since the farmer
paid the strike tax laid upon him by
the rail strike and the coal walkout.
He paid in fruit and perishable crops
rotting in the fields and in a con-
tinuing shortage of cars. He is not
done with paying.
In late summer and fall, home
builders. contractors and would be
home owners, with all who depended
upon them for wages, work and shell
ter, began paying. Lumber, mill
work, brick and cement shipments
stopped. Building checked and
slowed almost to a standstill.
Industry has been paying right
along and will continue paying for
months. There was little coal and
less material and the wheels slowed
down. Then millions Of workers be-
gan to pay.
Now the householder is paying in
cold homes, in sickness from ex-
posture and in that apprehension that
tomorrow there may be no coal for
his fires, no warmth for his family.
That is the heaviest tax of all.
Lost work, wasted days, hindered
industrial recovery. the menace of
the cold and the slow up-creep in
prices of fuel, these are the ways we
pay. The twin strikes laid upon us
all a universal tax. In one way or
another every American is paying for
the industrial war OF 1922.

A REMINDER

Louis Pasteur was born a hundred
wears ago. His eountrymen have de-
clared him to have been the greatest
benefactor of the French people,
those who so revere the memory OF
Napoleon, Pasteurs devotion to the
truth, his untiring efforts to seek it,
his zeal to accomplish for the good of
his fellow men rather than for his
own personal advantage left a pro-
found impression on his day. Recog-
milton of this centennial anniversary
emphasizes it, serves to keep it alive,
and surely the world has need that it
be kept alive and emphasized.
Great scientist that he was. his
mind sought such truth as he thought
might prove most useful to the
world, to the vine growers, the silk
cultursts, the raisers of sheep and
cattle and poultry by Kidding them of
the menace of diseases. He always
had the courage of the faith that was
in him and bravely and successfully
defended what he believed to be the
truth.
A world pcopled by such as Louis
Pasteur would hardly be at war ex-
cept in defense of it's rights; it
-t& ~k l.
tickering over concessions, it would
not be STOPPING to keep an ear on
the ground and attuned only to the
words of popular approval. Nor
would he be one of the multitude
shouting itself hoarse because of a
tiched fancy or raging because of
imagined injury. 1t may require all
kinds Of people to make a world, but
when the Louis Pasteurs largely pre-
dominate the world will be proper
tionally the better for it.
Something OF all this must have
been in the minds of the German
scientists who, the other day, took
occasion to pay tribute u his MEM
DRY. Germans hate the French,
they cultivate that hate, but in the
presence of that which Louis Pasteur
accomplished they uncover their
heads. Once those who posed as
learned men were often charlatans.
but the Louis Pasteurs have charged
all that. Once diplomacy was the
name given skill in deceiving the
other fellow. Now the world waits
for those who may interpret it as
skill in arriving at the truth with the
greatest possible advantage to all
concerned. The life of Louis Pasteur
IS reminder that human beings are
capable of being great, useful and
honest, salt of the earth"
