LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Five Questions for Candidates.

Mr. Editor: While not actively inter- ested in Norwich politics, only in so far as it affects the state, I was quite inter ested in reading the article in Thursday Bulletin, Are Republicans Of Norwich
 on the Fenee?" While I have always
 been in favor of equal suffrage, yet have made the statement many times
 that Connecticut women as . whole,
 were not ready for suffrage when It came, but two years have passed, and women have been studying, and they
 have remembered who was who on the suffrage questions. in the house and sen- ate, and also they have come to realize just what the ballot is, and what it can do. The effect of women votes in Con- necticut will be felt this year, and the wise politicians will do we'll to con-
 sider them, not as ''lilies of the field"
 but as active voters with strong incli- nation toward independent voting, and
 not as their respective husbands and
 other male relatives point out where to
 make the cross (you may point sout where to make the cross or push the lever, but you haven't any assurance that she will do it). Not for one mo- ment would I suggest women going it alone, by all means join the party you believe in, and work for your party, but in voting use your judgment in try ing to elect the men or women who stand for the things you know are best

sEN1oRITY ANp PENsIoNs.

By a statement issued by the Penn sylvania railroad light is thrown on the question of railroad pensions and senior ity. of which the latter is the sticking point in reaching a settlement of the shopmen's strike. In the absence of clear information on the subject, the misapprehensions in trying to judge in- telligently of the relations between railroad employers and employees.
 In the case of the Pennsylvania and most, If not all, of the other railroads. seniority rights and pension privileges have no direct relation to each other. The seniority of an employe depends up- on the position of his name in the off, cial records of his craft. He may leave the service and return, but when he re- turns his name goes to the bottom of the records as that of a new employe. One of the advantages of seniority is that 1t gives to an employe choice among day or night shifts. It confers upon him certain opportunities in filing claim to a better job Also, when there is occasion to reduce the force of em- ployes. a railroad will give preference to senior employees. holding them and discharging their juniors. The more continuous employment is in each indi- vidual case, the more valuable are sen iority rights.
 The pension system on the Pennsyl vania, as on other roads is based upor the total period of service, whether i be continuous or not. The Pennsylvani; requires that none of it's employees, n' matter what their rank or grade, shal serve beyond the age of 70. man wh' becomes physically or mentally incapaei tated may be put upon the pension lis at 65 if he has been an employe of tn system for 30 years. Pensions are paic on the basis of 1 per cent of an em ploye's average monthly earnings durint l the last 10 years Of labor. multiplied b! the total number of his years in ser vice. It makes no difference whether h has left the system once, or more thal once. in his lifetime. so long as the az gregate of his service amounts to 3
 years. Therefore it is plain that strik | ing shopman would not sacrifice his pen sion privileges if he returned to work even though he sacrificed his seniority

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

John G. shedd, of Chicago, who has just celebrated the hftieth anniversary of his connection with one of the worlds largest and most important establish nnents, is a native of New Hampshire, coming from one of it's small towns, AL stead. His first knowledge of the retail business was gained in typical country stores in New Hampshire and Vermont. In 1872 he pioneered westward, and liking Chicago, he settled there and be- came a subordinate worker in the store of Field, Letter & Co. He rose steadily In value to the firm and to the business world, and was taken in to the business as partner, and later became the head of the firm. As his wealth and coIninar- cial status have increased he has been drawn into advisory and official rela- tions with banks, public utility com panies, and manufacturing concerns, so that his range of experience as a cap italist, and his area of influence as a citizen, are today extensive.

Stories That Recall Others
Converted.

Bud, age twelve and his dog are in- separable. The dog, little white and tan mongrel, is too small to be a fighter and too much of pet to be vicious but Bud innagines that he can lick any dog in the town, and is never as happy as when he is working up fight with the dogs of the neighborhood. The other day, Buds mother sent him to the groc- cry for loaf of bread. As usual, the dog accompanied him, and when Bud reached the store. with a great show of bravado, he opened the door and called to the groceryman: Have you got a cat
 in there? If you have, get it out or my dog will kill it."
 Having given the warning. he let the dog in. It happened that there was a big black cat in the store. and as soon as the dog appeared the cat arched its back and stfffened its tail, and. jump ing at the dog. scratched it unmereifully
 until the canine howled with pain When the dog began to howl. Bud begar to yell and, opening the door, he let the dog out. and both went racing down ths street, Bud without his bread. A few days later, Bud again appeared at the store and, opening the door, called

A vacation oi three months without pay every year $ a little more than most of us could af- ford. But this is what the miners are up against.
 When the mine owners refused to pay the men who risk their life to bring the coal up out of the earth decent wage 1t was the duty of our government off, cials to step in and do what the owners refused to do. It is a crime to allow little group of men to rob and plunder the people as the mine owners are do- ing. Government ownership is the only way out

for your town and state. There is only one way to test a politician; ask him direct, if he unhesitatingly answers you, know where he stands, no matter which side of the question he favors (admire him even if you can't vote for hirn) and when he does not care to state where he stands. just put him or her down for rubber stamp. and look further.
 The men or women who represent the one hundred and sixty-eight towns in Connecticut in 1923 should be able to answer at least five questions: Where they stand on the daylight vs standard timeforever question; on the right for anyone to work 54 hours week if they wish that agricultural interests be given equal consideration with other state repair fund. and do they favor governing board of part women in all other towns where there are almshouses, or in all towns where the poor of the town are cared for in the town? There are many other questions that may be of prime importance to some particular town, but these are of interest to every town in the state.

On the Coal Strike.


 MT. Editor According to all reports the consumer of coal will find himself in sad predicament this coming win ter. The Connecticut coal distribution commission is of the opinion that an- thracite coal will be out of the question for domestic consumption and that bi- luminous coal will be largely used for household purposes" That anthracite coal will be out of the question" may be partly loose talk. AS for bituminous coal being used for household purposes, anyone who burns soft coal all winter in his kitchen range will need a new stove in the spring. That is, if he sur wives the deadly gas emitted by this kind of coal.
 Should the coal strike be settled, say within thirty days. do not see why ii would not be possible to get hard coal as well as soft coal before severe wea- ther sets in. Consequently I am not very strongly impressed by statements issued by the coal distribution commis- sion To the man on the street it looks as if the coal operators want to unload cough soft coal on the public at higt price to offset profits lost during the strike
 Why such deplorable situation a. a coal strike? Coal is a vital necessity to all of us. Any interference in tn, production and distribution of coal af | fects the lives of every man, woman and child in the country. The mininl of coal is one of the most dangerous O industries. It should be one of the mos | highly paid but it is one os the loves paid industries. The mine operators wh during the war made as high as 300 per cent profit in some cases, refuse t pay the miners a living wage and delib erately broke signed agreement wit the United Mine Workers. Hence tn l coal strike.

SEPARATE ANTHRACITE SETTLE
 WENT.

Nov that the bituminous coal strike Eeems In a fair way of settlement, the public is looking for some earnest at .empt to be made at once to effect a set usment in the anthracite field where a deadlock has been reached between oper- ators and miners. If. as has been indl- cated by repeated statements of Presi- dent Lewis of the Mine Workers, the an- .hrac.te workers have been holding back from making a settlement, partly with the view of helping their fellow 1nion men in the soft coal industry, it time they abandoned this attitude.
 According 10 Samuel D. Warriner. president of the anthracite operators as- iociation. whose officials have urged up- ,n President Harding a separate settle nent, resumption of work in the an- hracite industry is being prevented ioisly because Of failure to agree on wage scales. The wage question has been . more important issue In the hard coal han in the soft coal situation. The op- rators have proposed a reduction of contract rates by IS per cent below the rates established by the federal coal commission in 1920 and a reduction of s1-20 per day or per shift below the commissions scale. On the other hand lhe miners have demanded an increase Of 20 per cent. for contract work and of s1 a day for day workers. This de- hand has been based upon the fact that anthracite wages were not increased two years ago.
 When the Roosevelt board of conci1ia. lion settled the great anthracite strike of 1902 it instituted a permanent joint committee of operators and miners tc nandls such situations as the present but it isn't working and it isn't produe' Ing any coal.

MAKING SPEECH VISIBLE

A wonderful new invention called the Lioretgraph enables one to make accurate tracings upon permanent rec ords of the actual vibrations of sound in articulated speech. The instrument is worked by motor power.
 When a vowel sound is uttered the room becomes full of vibrations. and each different sound gives vibrations of different shape. In the presence of the Lioretgraph a person saying "Ah,' would record upon Nper a wobbly, symmetrical line. The prin- ciple involved is similar to that of the phonograph but by means of deli
