DISSATISFACTION

There was dissatisfaction In the To- cal republican ranks following the last election. There is trouble in the democratic ranks at present, Ii is in- tercsting to note that directly opposed causes led to the trouble In the two cases,
 The republican dissatisfaction, which prompted former Mayor Quig ley to contemplate new organization, was the result of an evident falling off of republican strength here, In former days it was rare indeed that a democratic mayor could be elected, and that coincidentally the repuhli- can strength in the common council could be diminished. So republican weakness caused the dissatisfaction with the town committee,
 Evident democratic strength is dissatisfaction. Local democrats feel it is believed, that they have too good chance for success to be thrown way. They feel keenly that any un-
 ortunate action by the democratic mayor, if eountenanced, will take away from the local party some Of he strength they believe it has gained. Possibly they feel, too, that the party should be given a chance 70 show it's full strength here.
 The city will suffer, to say nothing 1f the local democratic party. ii here comes situation bringing a listinct split of the party into admin 'stration and anti-ad -ninistration fac lions. ..

SEES TRADE RESUMPTION
Leonid Krassin of Soviet Government Thinks His Country and America Will Get Together Soon.

Moscow, June 19, (By Associated Press) Krassin, addressing a conference of the Russian foreign trade department of which he is the head, voiced the belief that resump- tion of official relations between Rus sla and the United States was not far off. Considerably the newspaper Pravda advocates dealing with Am erica to build up the Russian oil in- dustry.
 Serious business relationship for us are possible now only with Am erica,' says the Pravda. "We can give her oil of which she has great need, and receive from her technical equipment for industry and agricul- ture. This must be done avoiding the commissioners of the bankrupt Euro pean bourgeoisie."
 Declaring that Russian wells now produce only ten millions tons an- nually, the newspaper declares that within three or four years with the assistance of American oil experts the output could be increased to 54,- 900, GOO tons, two-thirds of which would be available for export to Am erica.

PLANS FOR JULY FOURTH

The state board of education and department of Americanization have approved letters now being sent to mayors and first selectmen of cities and towns of the state, regarding the observance of Independence day. A copy of this letter was published in The Herald of Friday, June Is, on page 13 It is worthy of attention.
 It is customary to say many ob- vious things concerning the Fourth of July and to allow it to pass, year after year, without the accomplish ment of anything that will make it a red letter day in the lives of people.
 This year there have been appeals from foreign born citizns that more attention be given to the illustrating of the significance of the day. They want to know, to see represented in tableaux or pictures or spectacles, the important epochs of American history
 
 something to them.
 Be it said that if the day is made one which will bring new understand ing to those who have made such re- quest, it will bring new appreciation of it's significance to native born Americans, young and old. This re- result is decidedly worth while. That letter referred to gives suggestions for observance of Independence day. The feature of spectacles, or parades pr pageants is noted. The request of Inc foreign born should be needed md plans should be made now to make this Independence day more han . time for publication which

 ATTACKING SHIP Such Is Belief Expressed Today
 at Hong Kong

London, June 19.-Sun Vat Sen, former head of the Chinese govern ment, who fled from Canton upon the occupation of the city by the forces of Chen Chung Min was on one of the warships which shelled Canton Saturday. says Hong Kong dispatch to the Times.
 The warships continued their bonn bardment for half an hour at mid day, using six pound and three pound shot, and firing was renewed at 4 o'clock The gunners were apparent ly reckless of the lives of civilians.
 After the firing ceased, Chen's troops robbed the people in the streets on the pretext of searching for arms and ammunition. The streets shortly became practically deserted, whereupon the soldiers footed the shops.
 A great exodus from Canton was taking place when the dispatch was filed. Train service between kowon and Canton has been suspended but the river boats ply their routes.

 AT A. F. l. MEETING
Morrison and Tobin Both Have
 Opposition at Convention

Cincinnati. June 19 GBy the Asso- ciated Press) )-Prospects of a second contest in the election of the eXecu- tive council of the American Federa- tlon of Labor here loomed today as 2 movement got under way for Will
 jam Clarke Of Toledo. president of the American flint glass workers union, to contest the reelection of Frank Marrison as secretary. The
 other contest for the council is prom lsed by Joseph A. Franklin of Kansas City, president of the boiermakers union who has announced he will con- test the reelection of Daniel T. Tobn Of Indianapolis, head of the teamsters' union, as treasurer.
 No contest for nine places on the council which is headed by President Samuel Gompers, was in sight today A fight was on for election of two delegates to the British trade union congress.
 Mir. Morrison has been secretary for 25 years. Mir. Clarke has been an officer of the glass workers for 16 years, and in last years convention seconded the nomination of Mir. Com pers in the latter's fight with John l.. Lewis, the miners leader. for presi- dent.

CHEAP GAS SPOILED PUBLIC.
So Refhers' Lawyer Says, and Re
 suit Is oil Men Arc Desperate.

Washington. June 19.-When gaso- line was selling at 20 and 2c cents a gallon last winter the producer re- ceived less than the cost of produce tion, congressional investigators of present prices will be told by John D. Reynolds. secretary and counsel for the Western Petroleum Refners' as- sociation.
 MT. Reynolds declares the inde- pendents "Are fighting for their lives'' and "just staggering to their feet" If the operations of these renners arc stifled, he says, a gasoline shortage will result.
 Mir. Reynolds complains that last year the public became accustomed to payinA too low price for gaso- line, and adds:
 The real question now is whether the public is willing to pay prices which will enable the independent re- fining industry to survive"

POLICE BOARD ACTION

The men most interested to have crime and vice. are the police com
 missioners. Even If the higest mo self interest and the desire to prove efficient would prompt them to take steps to give to the city the best pro tection possible. Moreover, the police commissioners are in a position to know what will bring the best results
 The commissioners have decided tc abolish the so-caled squad. The only motive prompting this action is the belief that the best results will be obtained by placing the respon- sibility for all crime detection and vice prevention primarily on the shoulders of every member of the force, instead of setting apart one class of wrong doing prevention of which will be within the province of . small body of men only.
 States Attorney Alcorn is said to have desired an increased vice squad here. It may be said that the strength of those who will do the actual work formerly performed by the vice-squad will, under the new arrangement be intensified. Every member of the force will be all instigator for the men who, by specia assignment will subsequently, com plete investigations of matters re- ported by the officers in uniform There will be no branch of police work which will be beyond the jur- isdiction of regular members of the force There should result no wasted effort on the part of men assigned to do special vice squad work duty, Every move made in this line will be smade direct. With no intention tc take from the former vice squad any of the deserved credit due its mem bers for keeping clean the city, fl may be said that now that work is done there will be, under the new plan, no scouting around" hap hazard looking for vice or a special sort of law breaking which might have been discovered and reported upon by members of the uniformed force had it been within their prov ince.
 It is possible, too that the new ar rangement will make for increased unity of action on the force DeteCtlol of crime and its prevention, in any form, will be the duty of all. There can be no passing the buck" The police com lnissloners desire to keep this city clean and law abiding. Any hint of the reverse will be the signal i for prompt action by the commission. The decision has been made. With | the proper spirit in evidence on the | force, with the team work that is possible under the new arrangement | and with full realization by every member of the force of the new re- responsibilities placed upon them and | the confidence reposed in them there | is no reason why New Britain should | not prove a better, more orderly city l than before.

TROLLEY FARES

This week remains in which prep
 lration may be made for the meet
 ing of the mayors of various nearby
 cities with President Storrs of the
 Connecticut Company. Better service
 md lower fares will be the subjects
 # discussions, The meeting will be held in this city Monday, June 26.
 Only the mayors of Connecticut cities and Mir. Storrs will be present, It might seem to the people that
 here is nothing for the public to do They are wrong. There is much that people here may do-and every pa lily interested. Every such patron should make it his or her business to id Mayor Paonessa. There is a way
 70 give this aid.
 It has been stated that the best way to bring lower fares-the only way-is to convince President Storrs hat q lower fare would bring in 2reased patronage, increased revenue to the company. Many people hon. 'stly believe this result would come
 Trolley conductors have said lower fares would bring increased patron lge. Trolley conductors know what hey are talking about. Long letters have been written to the press, and many arguments advanced why it would not be just to lower fares lust to the trolley company. All of these arguments are based on the one, believed to be fallacious, that the Company should be allowed to obtain | greater revenue through continued high fares, in order to render a fair return on it's investment
 Granted that the company should give fair return on it's investment But it is by no means granted that such fair return may be gained continued high fares. The reverse, it is honestly believed, is true The lower fares would bring this in creased revenue.
 It would be worth while-decidedlv worth while--for every person in this city to investigate this week, and to write to Mayor Paonessa a letter tell ing his or her belief that lower fares would bring increased patronage, and the reasons for that belief.
 A large number of letters to Mayor Paonessa, who would show them to President Storrs at the meeting of Saturday accentuatng this point would accomplish much. President Storrs believes it is possible, it is thought that lower fares might eventually bring increased returns, but he doubts if lower fares would accomplish this now. Convince him that such result would come. and a great step would have been taken. | Letters crying out against the in- l justice of the trolley company would do no good. Letters vehemently de- l elaring the rights of the people" would accomplish nothing they might even hurt the cause
 But calm, dispassionate letters to Mayor Paonessa, to be shown to President Storrs, setting forth the i writer's and others belief that better service and lower fares would bring l returns to the trolley com pany, would bring results if anything i would. Those who believe lower fares would bring greater returns should take the trouble to write | Mayor Paonessa to this effect and | stating their reasons for such belief. ]
