BRAND INJUNCTION AS DECIDEDLY BAD
Union Speakers Condemn It.
 Outbreaks Continue

Chicago, Sept. With the gov- ernment's railroad strike injunction universally condemned by union lead CTS in Labor day messages yesterday, pending court action in cases grow ing out of arrests for alleged viola tions of the writ occupied the fore ground of the picture of the nations industrial situation today.
 The annual holiday brought a Hull in railroad strike developments.
 Speakers Condemn Order.
 While some Labor day orators were cautious in their reference to the in- junction, other union leaders appear ing as speakers followed Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor in attacking the restraining order. Speaking at Phil adelphia, MT. Gompers reiterated his charge that the injunction was vio lation of the constitution and the laws of the land.
 Members of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor were gathering at Atlantic City today.
 At this conference Mr. Gompers said he would place before the com mittee requests from various labor organizations for a general strike call.
 Violence Is Scored.
 While union leaders were berating the Daugherty injunction, other speakers dealt with the industrial situation in another light. Notable examples of these were the speeches of Secretary of Labor Davis at Moose heart, H., and Edward J. Brundage, attorney general of Illinois at al gathering of Chicago republicans.
 Secretary Davis declared mo gib- bet can be built too high for those who execute such dastardly deeds as the deliberate wrecking of a train at Gary" adding that the slaughter of workingmen at Herrin was . re-

Money from Oregon. Chicago, Canada, Kansas and Illinois is reported to have been re- ceived, How much solicitation, If any, was required to bring such aid does not appear, but 1t is well for New Brit nh people 10 note the facts in re- gard to this institution of which we are all proud. and to remember the influence Of Rev. John F. Klingberg which inspires such donations. Apro- pos Of this it was interesting to note that those associated with him many years ago, when the time came that they found themselves possessed of funds for distribution to worthy causes, remembered him and his work and sent large sum to the home.

POLICE RECORDS

Hearty approval will follow the sug- gestion of the police commissioners that especial attention be given to de- partment records. In a general way most people realize the importance of such records, but few know the great CT possibilities for protection against crime and apprehension of criminals that follows complete full-and pri- vate-recording of details that come to the knowledge Of the police de-
 partment.
 Perhaps there is no necessity for | maintaining the intricate records in this city which are kept in the New York department, for instance. This city is not the mecca of all criminals, and is not the meeting place where those who are contemplating crime or hiding from the law congregate. New Britain is too small to afford a refuge where a man may sink his identity completely as he may do in some cases in New York--and as many more would be able to do were it not for the system of surveillance and record ing of data which obtains there,
 Many of the records of the depart ment are quite properly secret. Next to the duty of keeping outward order comes that of keeping those records orderly and complete. Matters of of- ficial record, which must be open to the public at all times, should be plain and distinct. Having a clerk whose duty it is to see that this is their condition will aid people whose work or affairs make 1t necessary to consult them, It would be good to feel assured also, that there was someone who saw to it that this other data, this in formation which will help in identify ing and capturing criminals and which may suggest possible perpetrators of crime, was carefully kept and avail able always to the heads of the police department.

SWEDISH STRENGTH

It is interesting and satisfactory to note the rapid recovery of Sweden from the effects of the war. Natives of that country, coming to the United States, have assumed positions here and have gained the reputation for industry and thrift which makes the good news from that land no more than was to be expected. Their energy and thrift, as seen in America, is uni versally recognized. In the export trade Sweden nearly approaches pre- war standards in some lines and in others surpasses them. It is interest ing to note especially that America is indebted to Sweden for much of it's newsprint, the export figure from that country showing that it exported to us 72 per cent more, during June of this year, than it did in the same month in 1913
 Sweden is importing raw material in great quantity and at the present rate, especially in copper will soon be furnishing as large a market as she was in the year before the war.
 In congratulating that country on her increasing strength and her re- turn to stability the native born American may feel that he is congrat- ulating the land of people many of whom have become respected and powerful citizens of his own land.

THE "SETTLEAIENT"

Five months ago coal operators
 thought miners wages should be re
 duced; labor though high wages
 should be continued and an agree. ment made to that effect to eXtent over a year So labor struck. Todd! the strike has been settled that is high wages are to be extended for 8 year from this time-and labor has lost the wages of five months In other words high wages will be paid for twelve months after no wages at all have been paid for five. Shortly after the strike started labor might have gone to work again assured of high wages for four months-almost the duration of the strike Labor wanted to be sure ofsthose high wages for a year, so labor waited, without pay for five months, and now have that as- surance-after deducting the five months in which no wages were paid.
 There are some things that are cer- tain, now that the smoke is beginning to clear away. Capital did not get what it was after and what 1t still believes 1t should have-the right to pay lower wages. Labor is little bet ter off than capital, probably; as re- suit of the strike, and yet labor has suffered five months of wageless days. Finally the people. the people who make it possible for operators and miners to make money because the people furnish the market for coal, are the real sufferers.
 And settlement of coal troubles is as far distant as 1t was five months ago. Perhaps, about the time people have recovered from the blow that has been inflicted upon industry and comfort and "normalcy," there will come a new demand on the part of labor or a threat of reduction in wages by cap ital. The whole matter will have to be gone over again, unless-unless the thorough investigation of a fact find- ing commission, with power to make recommendations, if nothing more, throws light on the whole situation | which, in view of the lesson learned l from the present strike, will be utiliz- ed And unless, too, there begins to l seep into the heads of capital and | labor alike realization of the fact that the great, long, heretofore sleeping worm has begun to turn, and when ! 1t does turn, look out for 1t. The | worm that is turning, incidentally is the great body of the people, made up neither of labor, as class, nor capital, as a class, but of men and | women who pay both capital and la Der and which both capital and labor must serve.

AIDING CHILDREN's HOME

It has been more or less as source of wonder to many people in New Britain, who did not know the facts, that the Childrens Home went along its splendid way without oft recurring "drives' and campaigns to raise money. All knew that it took money to run 1t and all knew that money given to it would be spent worthily
 But as long as the money seemed to come from somewhere, no one wor- ried much about it, being very we'll satisfied indeed that there was such a place here where the smallest chil- dren might be taken and where they sometimes remained until after they hAd reached their teens" under the

son means that the public awakening which all recognize will bring a change from old times in the direction of progress as well as change from the blatant radicalism which offends plain common sense. we'll may we hope that he Is right.
 Psychologically Mir. Babson Is right when he asserts that socialism as a partyt movement Is almost dead and that the busy worker will have no time to come down from his ladder and listen to wild radical talk Social ism, as represented by fiery orators, finds a more willing ear in the man who is inclined to come down from that ladder whether or not there is anything 10 come down for other than a rest. While loafing, or resting, he is quite willing to listen to anything Babson asserts that organized labor has rid itself of socialism and that af- ter election the farmers will be dis appointed to find how little good their leaning In that direction has done them. Thus, in the middle f-the-road course, there is encouragement for the progressive thinker who does things while he Is thinking If the country had been taking this middle course, needing progressive suggestion with all due regard to safe procedure, radicalism would not have assumed the proportions 1t has, and conserva- tism would not have been frightened into fighting for its life.
 The fact that general business stands at only eight per cent below normal, at this time, indicating no falling off, is in itself encoura ging.

"NEWBERRYISNi"

Out in Michigan the voters are go
 Ing to have a chance to cay whether
 they want to stand pat with Senator
 Townsend who admits, it is said, that
 In the Newberry case 'too much
 money was spent but not that any
 money was illegally spent" and who indicates that support of Newberry'
 position In the Senate was proper, or with one of the trio of Baker, Kelley or Emery who are denouncing New
 berryism." The republican nomination
 for United States Senator, to be set
 tied September 12, Is said to over
 shadow all other contests, and 1t is in this fight that the question of the propriety of spending large sums of
 money, of which Newberry was ad- mitted guilty although, it is claimed, none was spent illegally, will be pass ed upon.
 There would seem to be no ques- tion but that the people would regis ter their protest against the great use of money to secure office. No matter if Senator Newberry was entirely in- nocent of technical wrong, certainly his action in countenancing such vast expenditures, if he did countenance them, should receive the peoples re- proof. Certainly advocacy of a sup porter of Newberry would hinder the proper fight against this means of ob- taining office. And 1t would seem to be more important at the moment, to record disapproval of such course, than to split hairs as to the compara- tive wisdom of the various candidates for the office of United States Sena- tor. Difference of opinion may well exist on the latter queHtion; there would seem to be no possibility of a difference of opinion as to the proprie- i .y of expending fortunes to obtain a position as representative of the peo- pie.
