NO OVERTIME FOR
LETTER CARRIERS
Failure Of Congress to Make Ap-
preparation Has Effect Here

The afternoon delivery of mail in
New Britain is the only one in this
city which will be curtailed by orders
received at the postoffice from John
III. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster
general, that all mail carriers be en-
ployed only for eight hour periods
each day and that no overtime be con-
tracted.
+ Edward j. NTunson, assistant post
master, said this morning that the de-
livery service will not be curtailed I'M
less the weather is stormy or during
some unusual rush period and about
the first of each month when the
mails are heavier due to the number
of bills places or business send out.
The regular morning delivery will
be made on all routes, Mr.. Munson
stated, and the carriers will deliver
as far as possible on their routes in
the afternoon but if they have not
completed their territory when their
eight hours are up they will return to
the office and not complete the trip.
During the month of January the
carriers at the New Britain office put
in $50 hours of overtime. This was
necessary, it was stated, because of
the weather. For the first few weeks
in February the hours of overtime
were somewhat heavy but the men
will no longer be allowed to put in
any overtime.
The order from Washington came,
it was said, after congress had failed
to make appropriations requested by
the postoffice department for paying
letter carriers and substitutes engag-
ed in extra work. Thus postmasters
were obliged to make deliveries
through their regular staffs.
Although the order does not affect
the clerks in the postoffice, an effort
is being made to reduce the number
of hours of overtime in this depart
ment also.

Sees JAPANESE AS
MENACE in Hawaii
Senate Committee Fears Yellow
Race May Get Control

Washington, March 2.-Urging en-
to permit restricted immigration OF
otherwise inadvisable aliens into Ha-
wall to relieve the labor shortage
there, the senate immigration COM
mittee, in a report presented here
declared that American control OF
Hawaii and of the center of the Pa
cific ocean was endangered by the
japanese.
The situation with respect to the
preponderant Japanese population of
the Hawaiian Islands was discussed
In the report which said that the Dil-
iingham resolution should be adopted
as an emergency measure and con-
ditions more completely remedied by.
permanent legislation. Senate lead
ers, however, are of the opinion thai
there is slight chance of getting the
resolution through before adjourn
ment.
Calling attention to the 1921 strike
of Japanese plantation workers as H.
Illustrating the need of removing the
Japanese monopoly of the unsliilled
supply, the report asserted tina,
strikes had been marked by unusual
animosity on the part of the Japa-
nese language press and by many
un-American demonstrations of vio-
lence."
The shortage of labor, the report
said, was the result of the restlessness
of the field laborers, who received, in
addition to their regular pay in 1920,
total of sec, 100000 in bonuses ana
also .'in larger part by the particular
racial solidarity of the japanese who
constitute 43 per cent of the popula-
ton of the islands,"
American industrial and political
control" the report added, is SER
iously threatened by the preponder-
ance of the Japanese among those
who normally perform the field labor
of the territory and by an actual
shortage of such labor.
ION account of their close adhe-
siveness and characteristic collective
manner of action, the japanese have
1t in their power to control the indus
tries of the territory by being able.

labor without which those industries

Cause Undetermined
Naval authorities had been unable

advaneed--the first that when a fire
man, going on duty, attempted TO

fire TO the paint The other possible
explanation is that there was fare

Hartford, March 2. "A charter
for Bridgeport introduced
by the republican delegation from that
city yesterday and Immediately passed
in both branches of the general as
sembly under suspension of the rules
was signed in the original cover by
Governor Templeton late in the aft

as emergency legislation and was to
forestall the democratic administration
from abolishing certain offices which
have republican incumberance.
The charter is now as it was in
l917, in which year John r. King OBJ
tanned an amendment through which
the then republican administration
could remove, if it saw fit, certain
office holders and also abolish certain
departments. The present democratic
administration purposed to do what
the previous administration had OPP
portunity to do, in the game Of NUM-
