NEW BRITAIN GIVES SEWER TRENCH MEN
 RAISE IN WAGES
First Act of New Administration Is
 to Rearrange Pay.

New Britain, May I2.-The first thing the newly appointed board Of public works did after organizing by electing Thomas w. Grove chairman and deciding on the time of meetings, was to vote on increase of five cents per hour in the pay of laborers in the sewer department. Not all the labor CTS III the department are benefited by this increase, however, as the com missioners considered it inadvisable to increase the pay of those who work on top of the trenches, the feel ing being that the men who labor 20, 30 and 40 feet under ground should be compensated more gener ously than those who work on the surface.
 Mayor Paonessa, shortly after his inauguration, said 1t was unfair to the laborers in the sewer trenches to pay those on the surface on an equal basis with the former, and he an- nounced his intention of having action taken for their benefit Gen eral Superintendent C. E. Caldwell told the commissioners that there is a scarcity of labor and he thinks there will be a decided shortage in the fall Many of the sewer depart ment men have already gone to work i'll the brick yards for more money than they were paid by the ctiy and as business in the factories is picking up, more men will be lost to the city. He agreed, he said, that the men who go down in the trenches and work should be paid more than those on top.
 Laborers in the sewer department are paid 30 cents per hour at pres ent, with the exception of one pipe layer and one "bracer" in each gang, who receives 40 cents. A few others are paid 50 cents. The catch basin cleaners are paid $35 per week i'll the sewer department
 There are at present one hundred laborers employed in the sewer de partment, about 75 of whom work in the trenches. Those who work on top are old men who could not work under ground, and in some instances young men who have taken the work temporarily and do not want to go into the trenches.

WHAT A GERMAN WORKER SAW IN
 SOVIET RUSSIA

Karl Folmerhaus, member ot the Famine Relief Delegation sent to Russia by the International Fedora ton of Trade Unions, has published in the Socialist Messenger for March 3I, 1922, the following:
 At the present moment economic conditions are so bad that in my opinion Russian people are threat ened with complete extermination. It seems that even Communists them selves realize the forthcoming dis astcr They have changed their economic policy, but SO far, l must say, the change has borne no fruit whatever.
 Wages paid by the Soviet govern ment to the workers are far below the necessary level of existence. The trade unions, which, according to- the European point of view, are still in a state of infancy, are engaged in pre- pairing the world revolution instead of pursuing their practical tasks. Trade unions in their present state are quite useless for Russian workers.
 Russian transport Is on the eve of an utter collapse. Engines and wagons cannot run; track is al most entirely destroyed; the manage ment IS carried on in a most bureau cratic way. A European worker can not understand why every train must be guarded by military detachment or why ticket controller, during his rounds, has to be accompanied by a suite of three soldiers.
 According to my observations, political conditions prevailing nova days i'll Russia are not better than they used to be in Czarist times. Socialists and Anarchists are being persecuted by the Soviet Government in the same manner as under Tsars. Not only citizens in general but all the workers in factories and shops are subject to an elaborate espoinage system.
 At the present moment the 'Che-ka,' which I consider a most abominable institution ever used by any government, is subordinated to the Commissariat of Home Affairs. However, 1 do not think that Russian Socialists will gain anything by the reform for safeguarding their po- litical rights. 1 am convinced that as long as the present system of perse- cution is applied towards Russian Socialists, any understanding and contact between Russian Communists and the Western proletariat is quite impossible"

 REAL FACTS IN WAR CRAFT SCANDAL

the United States, to pave the way for indefensible contracts.
 Following his efforts to prevent the making of the harness contract, I Major Watts was discharged from the army. Congressman Graham and his subcommittee on war expendi- lures took up Major Watts charges and on evidence supplied by him and discovered largely through him they condemned the harness contract and recommended cancellation. This ac- ton was followed some time after by an effort from the attorney generals office to have the war department canoe lthe contract. Major Watts had meantime entered the service of the Department of Justice.
 Finally, under pressure from Presi- dent Harding himself, the harness contract was cancelcdby Secretary Weeks. The company protested, and the Department of Justice seemed unable to force decisive action against it. The case still hangs.
 Major Watts was doubtelss an em- barrassing person to have around a government department He offered absolute proof that the army, which can do no wrong, had been at fault, and he persisted in piling up evidence which the Department of Justice could use forcivil or criminal prosecu- tions. The Department of Justice did not like him.

Republican Leaders
 Attacking Gonpers

The Republican national committed c has taken upon itself rather thank less job.
 One of the big thorns in the flesh of the present administration has been organized labor, which has cx- posed almost every move made by the congressional representatives of big business.
 The committee is sending weekly canned" articles to the press, and in these are articles bitterly attacking Sam Gompers and other laboring men who will not pay homage to the pres ent congress.

NOW HE KNOWS THAT
 PROHIBITION IS ON

Of course this could happen anywhere but most delightfully."- in New York where titled for eigners when asked what they thought of prohibition have in variably asked when does it be- gin. Their query was appar- ently justified, according to the following excerpt from a raid story published in New York paper this week:
 John Belmer, owner of cafe at Broadway and Han cock street, Brooklyn, not far away from Mayor Hylan's home in the Bushwick section, declared he didn't know pro- hibition was in effect when ar rested twice on Sunday. Bel mer was held in $I, 1000 bail"

WHOLE COMMUNITY
 ORDERED ARRESTED
 TO AID PROHIBITION

Did you say this was free country?
 Did you say we had govern ment by law and not govern ment by judges?
 Circuit Judge Hiram J. John son of Manchester, Ky, has ordered that every person over 12 years of age in Millcreek neighborhood be arrested be- cause prohibition agents can't locate bootleggers.
 Every person over 12 years of age is to be deprived of lib- erty because some fool judge has a crazy idea he has abso- lute control over the bodies of all other citizens.
 Just where is this country headed for?

BEARCATS EVEN
UP SERIES WITH
ALBANY T0SSERS

The Willamette baseball nine
evened up the count with the AL
bany college tossers by defeating
them yesterday by the close score
of 4 to 2. A rally in the last Of
the eighth brought Willamette 3
runs and the victory.
The game started off well with
both pitchers receiving excellent
backing. The first score of the
afternoon came when Isham,
Bearcat third baseman, hit home
run in the last of the fifth. There
was no one on bases at the time.
In the first of the seventh the AL
bany boys came back and eyened
up the count when Polling reached
first on a hit, was advanced to
third by hit by Mcdonald, and
scored on a bad throw to third by
Ashby. This was the only costly
error made by the Bearcat team.
The visitors repeated the stunt
in the first OF the eighth, giving
them lead of one run, when Will
kenson reached first on an error
and was scored by two-base hit
by Blackwell. Then in the last of
The eighth the fireworks were
started by Willamette. Ashby was
afe on hit, Towner drew a walk
advancing Ashby, and Sheppard
was safe on an infielder's choice
which failed to catch Ashby at
