Still Shadow Fighting" War Pro6teers

Washington, Sept. 2o.-The house has granted another request by At torney General Daugherty, who again assures congress that ''I will now get after the war prohteers."
 The history of the attorney gen ,ral's prosecution of war prohteers is told by Congressman Wingo:
 You remember in the last cam paign, two years ago at this time, gentlemen upon the republican side went upon the stump and led the voters to believe: If you put us in power and give us charge of the de partment of justice, we will have these war-fraud criminals in federal tails so thick that their feet will be hanging out of the windows Time has passed on, and where are they Name the men that they have put in prison.
 Finally, republicans on the other side, patriotic men, got after their own department of justice some months ago and threatened inpeach- ment and then the attorney general got busy and he said: Oh, yes; just give me an extraordinarily big fund. Let me employ a whole lot of lawyers and I will get busy The house said, All right; we will let you do that So he stuck upon the pay rolls a bunch of high-priced

POPULAR STAMFORD ATTORNEY OUT FOR
 JUDGE OF PROBATE
Floyd B. Bartram, Who Made Great Run in City Election, Likely
 Nominee

. Stamford, Sept. 2o.-From labor CT in the wire mills to judge of pro bate will probably be the next step in the career of Attorney Floyd B. Bar tram who was the democratic nom inee for mayor two years ago and who Is now candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for judge of pro bate There is, hardly a doubt but that Attorney Bartram through his great popularity and ability as a vote getter will receive the nomination and there is almost as little doubt, about his election according to his friends. Although he didn't succeed in win ming as mayor the remarkable run he made against Mayor Treat IS yet the talk of the city he polling 900 votes ahead of the rest of his ticket and being defeated by less than 400 votes in one of the largest polls ever cast in a city election.
 MT. Bartram was born in New Canaan on Sept 5, 1882, and when B years of age went to work in the wire mills at Talmadge Hill, New laborer all his life, however, and worked long and hard to gain an edu- cation returning to the wire mills on the night shift and during the vaca- ton periods to earn his way through college and among his hrmest friends and supporters today are many of those with whom he toiled in the mills. k He attended the New Canaan schools, and later the Moody school at Mt Herman, Mass. He is a gradu- ate of Colgate University and the New York Law School, being ad- mitted to the bar in 1909.
 He proctised law in the office of Martin Gray for about a year and,

STRIKES BETWEEN UNIONS ARE NOW
 BARRED BY A. F. l..

Jur1sdictional strikes in the building trades were condemned in resolutions adopted by the execu- tive committee of the American Federation of Labor at it's recent session in Atlantic City, N. J.
 Strikes of union workmen against other union workmen are intolerable and must be discon- tinued," the resolutions declare.
 Tn fighting each other, the fed eration claims, the unions are vast ing strength that should be exert ed against unfair employers.
 I've are against one union strik- ing against another,' said Frank Morrison, secretary, discussing the action of the executive council Such policy is not in accordance with sound practices. This leads te disintegration when we need cooperation. The public incon- venience caused by such strikes should also be avoided. The coun- Gil has taken a strong stand in this matter"
 The council also decided to call a national conference of building trades unions in Washington or Indianapolis as soon as possible in an effort to adjust the jurisdiction al disputes between the sheet metal workers and the carpenters union.

HILL TOPS TO PLAY
 FIRST GAME SUNDAY

The Hill Tops who went througf
 the season last year without a defeat ! until they met a cropper at the hands of the Boys Club in the final game for the city championship are getting | away to an early start this year and are determined to bring the cham pionship of the city back to the "EIill' once more.
 The boys from the "Hill' made 9 great many friends by their great showing last year meeting teams that outweighed them considerably and more than holding their own with them
 The most notable achievement of the team. was it's tie score game with the Mohawks who in turn held the champion Nutmeg team of New Brit ain to no score game only the week previous The Hill Tops met and defeated such teams as the Lenox and West Ends of New Haven, the Pion- eers and Academy teams of Ansonia, played tie games with the Mohawks of Meriden and the Nutmegs of New Haven, the latter game being one of the first on the Hill Tops schedule and was played before theteam work had been developed.
 The only defeat charged against the team came at the end of the sea- son at the hands of the Boys Club In this game the Hill Tops outplayed the down town boys for the major part of the contest but poor playing at"a critical period of the contest re- suited in a score for the Boys Club which proved to be enough to win the game although both teams later in the contest scored a touchdown
 Frank Bergin, the old time Prince ton star, has promised to look after the boys this year and with such an able mentor to teach them the game the Hill Tops are very confident that who ever wins the championship this year will first have to eliminate their team.

HENRY C. NICHOLS. MUSICIANS UNION
 SECRETARY, DIES
We'll Known New Haven Leader
 Succunbs to Six Months Attack.

Henry c. Nichols, since the start of the New Haven Musical Union it's first and only secretary, died on Sun day following six months illness. His death was a distinct shock not only to music lovers in New Haven but all over Connecticut where he was well known and even outside the state. MT. Nichols was born in Eng land and was in his Goth year and had devoted his entire life to, music becoming a noted player and orches- tra leader. His heart and soul was in his union just as in his music and he worked eatly and late for the suc- cess of the organization and it's mem- ,bers. He was not married.
 The funeral was held from an un- dertaking establishment on Monday and was attended by a large number of musicians and fellow members in the British-American Club of which he was once president The Rev Behrend Mehrtens conducted the ser vices in the parlors and in the Ever green cemetery. A band composed of members of the Musicians Local played the Lost Chord" and For saken."

LENOX. EXPECT TO
 HAVE FAST TEAM

The Lenox team of Fair Haven are expecting to place a very strong team in the field this year and for the past few weeks have been holding some very strenuous practice sessoins in preparation for the opening game of the season which will probably be played this coming Sunday. though the final plans have not as yet been completed.
 All of the members of the team of last year have reported again and in addition to these players there are several others who have been blazing trail with other teams around the city trying out for places on the Orange and Black eleven.
 The Lenox Club occupies an unique position in the local sporting field. The men who make up. the teams rep resenting this popular Fair Haven or ganization are all bona hde members of the club and all money taken in at the games is turned into the club treasury. In view of this fact 1t IS surprising that the Lenox are able to turn out such good teams when they play for the love of the game while the rest of the teams are all out for money that they can get for their services.
 Last year the team did not measure up to the standard of previous Lenox teams and were eliminated very early in the year as contenders for the city championship. However in the game with their old rivals, the Naples, also of Fair Haven, they managed to get away with a tie game and as this is considered the most important game on the Lenox schedule the season was not altogether disappointing
 Twink" Scully,, who had such great success with the Hill Tops last year has been appointed coach of the Len OK team this year and the confidence that the club has in his ability to turn out a winner can already be seen in the organization of cheering sec ton who will lend vocal support to their favorites in all the games played
 The list of candidates who have al ready reported for practice Is as fol lows: Fleming, Swanson, Robinson, King, Blond1n, Gibbons, Sickle, w. Lynch, R. Lynch, Janeski, McNamara, Madigan, Lohsie, B. Enright, J. En- right, Schatzman, Brick, Dunn, Hall, Davin, Murphy, Klani, McCrohan, and Reilly.

TOBACCO COMBINE MAKES NECESSARY
 CIGAR MEMS UNION
By Price Control and Should Aid.

Big combinations and trusts in the cigar industry, through their unlimited resources control much of the tobaccb suitable for cigar purposes raised Tn this country. In some instances they directly or indirectly own consider able of the land upon which this to- bacco IS raised.
 The number of women employed in the cigar industry Is steadily increas- ing. The system of bhnch making and rolling in the manufacture of cigars is steadily increasing. The number of shops, especially small has been a steady ,bradual crystalliza- cigar industry. Millions of dollars are available for use in these com binations. These trusts maintain a chain of factories in all centers, and especially where woman labor is available and cheap. Many of this chain of factories are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohoi, Virginia, Porto Rico,' Tampa, and Key West. To maintain steady outlet for their product these com binations have established a system of chain stores which exist everywhere, and extend to the limits of the length and breadth of our country Their stores can be found upon all busy corners, in drug stores, hotels and restaurants, and in all other favorable places for the ready sale of cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco. If they can not rent good cigar corner store, occupied by an independent dealer, they buy the whole building, and thus accomplish the effacement of the in dependent dealer, and the establish ment of one of their stores in it's place.
 Organization is therefore the para mount issue with the cigar makers at this time To accelerate organization of cigar workers should be the con cern of all who desire the success of the organized labor movement. Every man can help by demanding cigars that bear the Blue Label of the Cigar Makers Union.
 Peter Schuyler, Blackstone, Noble, White Owl and Hyperion cigars are NON-UNION made.

Allen Gets Advice.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 2o.-Governor Allen, when officially interviewed, de- clare that Labor day was quiet all over Kansas"
 The governor is asked by the Kan sas Trade Unionist, "What Is the necessity for the statement?"
 Labor days have passed beautifully for years and years, as they have been conducted in the interests of educa- tion for the masses by the labor unions. The answer to Henry IS that Labor days are quiet assemblages of the people and they will continue to be just as long as he will keep his beak out of the matter.
 "It is a we'll known fact that agi- tators outside of labor ranks cause more disturbance in a year than all of labor"

 Compensation Commissioner E. T. Buckingham has announced an award of $II.o3 week for a period of two weeks in-the case of George McClel- Ian, 7Io Ninth avenue, New York, who was injured while employed by the Indian Harbor Yacht Club of Greenwich.
 The finding of the commissioner states that the claimant, while lifting a can partially filled with ashes, suf- fered a strain in his left abdomen and was incapacitated until June 27, when he returned to work. After working three days, he again felt pain and, upon being sent to the physician of his employer, failed to follow the in structions, preferring to return to his home in New York and be treated by his own physician. Under the cir cumstances, the commissioner found that the respondents are not respon- sible for medical charges incurred by the claimant after leaving Greenwich. The claimant Is not at present inca pacitated as a result of the accident and returned to work about July 10, 1922 Mcclellan had already received one weeks compensation pT1or to the award of the compensation comn1fs- sioner

PASS PROFITEER BILL.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-The senate has passed the Cummins' anti-proh- teering bill which empowers the inter state commerce commission to deny cars to mines and dealers who seek to ship coal in interstate commerce for sale at unreasonable prices. The bill creates a federal fuel distribution agency which will inform the inter state commerce commission of such coal mine owners and dealers as 1t deems to be chargnig more than reasonable prices.

Oppose Cant
 Strike" Law

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 2o.-In it's state platform the democratic party favors the repeal of Governor Aliens "can't-strike" law and the passage of an act creating board of concilia- ton and mediation. The party's can didate for governor is making the re- peal of the Allen law one of his cam paign features.
 The candidate of the republican party favors the Allen law. This wide divergence of opinion among the two leading political parties indicates how near Governor Allen and his defend CTS are right when they say the hand cuff law is satisfactory to Kansas citizens.

Methods of Charging Storage
Batteries

Many radio enthusiasts having cleo
tricity in the house for lighting pur-
poses would prefer to charge their
storage battery themselves rather
than 90 the the trouble of removing
the battery to service station.
Lighting circuits are usually at
potential of about 10 volts while the
voltage for charging six volt stor-
age battery should be only slightly
greater than the voltage Of the bat
terry. 1t is therefore necessary to re-
duce the voltage from ITO volts to
a voltage of proper value to charge
the battery at the specified rate.
Lighting circuits are fed from
either direct current or alternating
current sources. Alternating current
which reverses its direction III the
wires in q way which would alterna-
tely charge and discharge the bat
terv cannot be employed without
rectifying the current in such way
as to cause it to flow in one direction
only. Rectification is accomplished
oy means of valves which allow the
current to flow in one direction but
not in the other direction. Two COM
mon types of rectifiers are employed
IN battery charging devices. One
makes use of a polarized relay which
closes during one half the cycle while
the alternating current is flowing in
one direction but opens when the
current attempts to flow in the other
direction. Another type Of rectifler
makes use of the valve action Of q
vacuum tube.
The voltage of alternating current
lighting circuits may be reduced to
a voltage suitable Tor charging stor-
age batteries by means Of a step
down transformer. The current is
then rectified in one Of the ways de-
scribed and then flows into the bat
terry.
The voltage Of direct current light
ing circuits may be reduced to a
voltage suitable for charging stor-
age batteries by inserting resistance
coils in the line or q number Of in
candescent lamps may be used in
place of the resistance coils. Charg
