POLICE AFFAIRS.

The splendid situation in the New Britain police department at this time deserves comment
 Chief Rawlings is leaving the de- partment with a record of which any man might be proud. In addition to the real respect members Of the force as well as the general public of New Britain have for him, there is a deeper feeling of regret at his depart ure that partakes of honest affection. Moreover he has made 1t plain that his keen interest in the department will continue. The city will have the benefit of his sympathetic advice. He will attend meetings of the commits sioners. It is quite likely that the new Chief will consult him frequently for a time. The situation is every thing that is to be desired.
 Chief Hart comes into office with a deserved reputation for energy and achievement He believes in disci pline His advocacy of a new mili- tary collar that will have a tendency to keep the policemans head in the air" is typical of him. His regime will be characterized by strict disci pline, attention to detail, and impar- tial enforcement of the law. Chief Hart will have the confidence of the people, the wholesome respect of members of the force,
 Detective Sergeant McCue. who will have charge of the detective bureau, has made his mark quickly in the department He and the new Chief will be in fine accord. There will be team work that will bring results.
 The police commissioners are dis playing real understanding of their work and eagerness to keep in perfect touch with police matters. New Britain people may feel well satisfied with the police situation here.

it possible for labor to win the strike. Deduct the time lost and the general harm that has come, and the scales balance only in favor of the leader
 If the rail strike Is settled what will labor have gained that would not have come through straightforward, direct appea to the Railroad Labor Board? On the other hand labor has lost much in the arousing of unfavor- able public opinion, If the seniority rights are restored. and the new em- poyes of the railroads treated un- fairly, or the loyalty of the old men not recognized, organized labor will be In still worse plight. If loyalty is rewarded. labor will have lost thos valuable seniority rights.
 Some Of the tar which covered that grafting, criminal building labor leader, is not far from tainting other labor leaders powerful today.
New Britain herald., 1922-07-31
GENERAL BUSINESS STRONG

Forget the perplexing strike situ- alton for the moment and consider Roger Babsons statement based on cold statistics, that general business stands at only Il percent below normal. This is an improvement of two percent. over the figures of last week It also marks the highest point since January, 1921. Thus there is foundation for the general feeling that the action of unions. powerful as they are, have not affected and will not be allowed to seriously affect the country's eco homie condition.
 Another striking statement in Mir Babson's weekly letter, is that he believes oil is due for break in price. This conviction is based on the fact that although there never was a time even during the pamiest Stand ard Oil days, when the price situation was so under the absolute control of few men, there is tremendous amount of oil in storage and statistic ally the oil situation is weak. This fact, 1t would seem, Is sufficient to inspire the predicted break in price.
 Mir Babson deduces, from the strike situation, that there will be temporary advance in prices when the strikes are settled. The more comfortable feeling that will come will stimulate buying both by wage workers and employers, to the end that there may be a shortage of some goods, but after this temporary" spurt there will come a lower general price level which will continue for some years
 A normal number of articles must be purchased for consumption. The less purchased at this dull time. the greater will be the demand when conditions settle down. Again Mir. Babson's summary is encoura eine. with sound reasons for the encourage ment given.

TEXTILE STRIKE IS
 0NITS I97H WEEK
Now Seems to Have Become a
 Test Of Endurance

Boston, July Si, (By Associated Press).-The textile strike In Law. renee in its 18th week today. appears 10 nave settled into grim test of endurance.
 Mill owners and operatives alike have announced that they would maintain their ground "untl the bit- ter end" and neither side appears to show signs of weakening.
 The number of workers idle in Lawrence because of the strike and because Of the closing down of the Arlington Mills is estimated at ls,- GOO.
 Cnlke their fellows In Rhode Island and New Hampshire where the strikes preceded that In Lawrence by several weeks the Lawrence mill workers have not been generally or ganizcd and those affiliated with unions are split up among three or ganizations-the United Textile Work CTS of America, the one big union, and the American Federation of Tex tile operatives.
 In several instances compromise of- fers have been made by mill heads to their former employees but all were turned down. The striking workers Of the Pacific Mills rejected plan whereby the operatives would accept a 20 per cent cut subject to gen. eral retroactive wage revision in Octo- Der by an impartial committee. The strikers declared they wanted the old wage DothiDr'
 The long period of idleness is hav- ing its effect on business. Stores are feeling the pinch and relief organi- zations find calls for assistance in- creasing. Public sentiment appears to be strongly with the strikers The city council has gone on record on several occasions as favoring their cause.

Home Rule Is Hope
 For India Today

Tremantle. Australia, July 3l - Home rule for India. with Dominion status, is the objective of the Indian people, according to Mrs. Annie Bes- ant, the well-known Theosophist lead CT, who arrived here recently.
 In the course of an interview Mrs Besant said everything would be we'll in India, she thought. If Britain only would grant the country home rule.
 The people, sincs Gandhi's impris- onment, were beginning to appreciate that he was not the divine being, able to work miracles, which they had be- lieved him to be. She anticipated that agitation along constitutional lines would replace revolutionary tac- tics and would bring peace to India within a reasonable time.

BUSY GERMANY.

The wisdom of keeping fairly good track of Germany and her economic condition, as bearing upon what may be expected of her in other directions. has been here emphasized. The re- marks of the head of the geology department of the University of Mich igan, who has just returned from a trip around the world furnish further testimony to the fact that there is some misconception of that country's condition.
 Tn Germany" he says, "the cap- italist, shop worker and farmer are prosperous" He declares the reports about Germany facing bankruptcy are unfounded, and he asserts that work goes on there at a phenominal pace, her plants working day and night and yet unable to keep pace with the contracts and with industry and

A REMINDER.

The reminder of the building scan dal in New York some time ago. is timely. As told by Joseph Sheridan, special investigator of the joint legis- lative committee on housing for the state of New York in an interview with a representative of The Herald, would threaten building contractor with trouble unless he "came across" On payment of a large sum to the man who had the power to call a strike, the contractor would avoid labor trouble. IT he did not make such payment he would be practically unable to complete the building.
 Thus 1t is seen that the Tabor leader" and no one else profted The workmen gained nothing. The con tractor was taxed, in money or in trouble, and the general housing situation in New York suffered through a lack of new building.
 There are Tabor leaders" today who gain because of their power. Possibly they do not resort to flnan- cial backmai as in the case of this man in New York. Their dividends come in salaries and employment and power through notoriety. Were it not for their ability to order strikes they would lose those dividends. Their salaries are kept up because they hold this power and exert it every now and then for the sake of strengthening 1t. When matters quiet down and the men are at work again often no one is the gainer except the labor leader Nothing has been gained by labor which would not have come through other means, arbitration. reason, appeal to author ity. The public has been made to suffer; the men have lost time at work-and the labor leader has gained in prestige through his ability to persAude labor that he has made

LONDON SLUMS CLEANED
Iwenty-Two of Worst Areas Are t, Be Wiped Out By County Council Tn Next Few Years.

London, July 29.-Twenty-two of the worst slum areas in London are to be wiped out by the London Coun- ty council. The work is to be spread over the next ten or 12 years and the government will assist in 1t.
 When the scheme, which involves nothing less than the clearance of az the slum areas in London, is com pleted," says Colonel Levita, chairman Of the housing committee, it will have .entailed the displacement of some 45,ooo people, and an expendi- ture of many millions Of pounds. The main idea is to make London . slum- less city.

THE LAST STRAW.

There are lifelong Republicans who realized that Warren Harding, Senator was not noted for initiative Still, when he became President, they had hope of development of some characteristic Of leadership, Few believed that his propensity for adjustment" to meet the cxigencies Of the occasion would impel him to acquiesce in, much less suggest any practice. The full measure of the difficulty of the position in which he now finds himself is realized. He desires ardently to advise a settle ment Of the railroad strike because such settlement will benefit the vast majority of the people,
 There are two sides, the railroad executives and the unions. The rail- roads. seeking to continue operation, made promises to men who remained
 loyal, and to men who would come 10 work for them. The unions refuse to let their men go back to work unless the strikers are given back their seniority rights Railroad otf1- cials say it will be practical impos- sibilty to do this without discharging some of the men who came to take the strikers places, relying on the promises of the railroads which were back up in effect by the government, the administration
 Through the veil Of secrecy which envelopes the proposed plan of the President for settlement. comes the conviction that the suggestion is to break the promises to the new men to discharge them from the positions which, they had been promised, would be permanent if the men proved com petent The proposal to recognize the continued loyalty of the "old men does not cover the case of the new employees.
 It is said the railroads are asked by the government Ito make this con- cession" A concession" involves sacrificing something Of value to the maker of the concession. Keeping the new men in the positions which had been given them would not ben eft the railroads. The old men would, probably, be more efficient, would know their work better. It is difficult to see what the incentive of the railroad is for standing by the new men other than their desire to keep their word, and their realiza- ton of what would come in the | future, in case of strikes if that word | were to be broken now in this case. 1 Would men ever take strikers places | aeain-efficient men-if they knew | they were to be discharged the | moment the strikers made up their | minds to return to work? What | would the promise of railroad be | worth?
 The secrecy, at this writing, sur the Presidents plan pre- vents certain knowledge that he con- templates such a proposal. But if | this is its tenor, and his plan involves | the breaking of the pledges made to | men who went to work in good faith, | the action will be the last straw for | those still anxious to see in President | Harding the ideal of justice expected | in the President of the United States. |
