the topic was "The Value of Organized Effort in the Development of the Com munity.'' : The Industrial Relations group, with J. E. Otterson, of this city, as chair man, held its discussion behind closed doors. It is understood that the com
 nittee asked for continued support of the open shop principle and expressed disapproval of bringing in a third party to settle a dispute. ,
 N Among committee reports was that of the finance committee with Guy P. Mill CT as chairman, which commended the condition of the states finances and urg- ed that no alter1-.pn be made in the tax system by the next legislature. The
 industrial relations committee through Mr. otterson spoke of the open shop system and the need on continued de- yelopment of industrial good will between employer and employe.
 The traffic committee. through R. L. French. urged that funds be appropriat- ed and a commission be appointed to |study the competitive situation between
 motor truck. and the railroad system to the end that these agencies may be brought into cooperation. E. O. Goss of Waterbury spoke of the Great Lakes tidewater problem. The members had
 opportunity to study charts on the stated financial conditions prepared by Prof
 Fairchifd of Yale, who said that unless the states expenditures are boosted
 there should be no reason for increased
 taxation. ''
