NEW TRADE SCHOOL

Along the line OF an editorial re-
Gently published In these columns re-
ferring 10 New Britain as a "city OF
Opportunity" attention is called 10
the news story OF last Friday giving
details OF the new trade school just
completed. II is considered by one
who should know the most complete
OF any OF the nine In the state, con-
sidering the size OF the city. The Idea
of the institution Is TO combine the
school and the factory. the facts and
the real Job. II is more than place
where young man may learn the
practical parts OF his trade although
these, OF course. are the things en-
phasized. It is school which COM
bines high school training with
practical shop work, designed to meet
the needs of young men of high
school age who want an education but
who do not want to enter one of the
professions.
The financial status OF the institu-
ton seems eminently fair. The city
stands the expense of the building,
heat, light and janitor service and the
state pays for the equipment, operat-
ing expenses and salaries of instruc-
tors. There is about 100000 worth
of this equipment for the school. The
recommended course is one for gradu-
ates of Junior High school or ninth
grade, which includes at the trade
school, 1880 hours of successful pro-
gress in trade and related work and |
an additional 600 hours of mathe-
mates, science and English, giving a
student state apprenticeship GER
tificate and High school diploma.
Various trades are taught-machine,
tool and die making, electrical work,
drafting. designing. printing, building
and automobile work--these, with all
their branches
Such are the facts about the new
trade school. 1t will accommodate
about 500, and if those whom it does
accommodate do not succeed 1t would
seem that the fault would be their
own.
But the point to be emphasized in
regard to this school is the fact that
in 1t is recognized the need of the
need of this city for
that matter--of men thoroughly
founded not only In the practical
branches of their trades and the prac-
tical application of the principles of /
It, but also having an education t
which will enable them to make {
such practical application and to un- 7
lerstand the why" and the how of {
they do. Without con- v
workers such as the gradu- a
ates of this chool have a chance of Y
slower progress in manu- Il
acturing would be made, few new
Methods discovered. Such inventions u
would be the result Of an unusually Il
lctive mind--a gcnius-who over c
anne the handicap of a lack of the il
'retical training because of his own il
Individual ingenuity. Under the plans ii
S now completed there should be Il
urned out from this school many "
oung men who will be in a position 'i
o add to the worlds wealth by i'm a
movements over the old even though Il
hey be not geniuses themselves, be- a.
ng, rather, practical men who have y,
zen taught the theory of their trade Sc
s well as the mechanics of il. CT

GOVERNORS PET
CONYICTS STIR
ROW IN CANADA
TRUSTEES Termed Criminal
Aliens at Large; Bunk
Says Executive.

Ottawa, Can. Aug. Am inquiry
into the bringing into Canada by
Governor, Donahey of Ohio of Earl
Jennings and c. Ziprani, convicted
murderers, as servants of his fishing
party, will be begun today by W. r.
Little, commissioner of immigration.
Mr.. Little said the two men, who
are TRUSTEES in the Ohio penitentiary,
should have been held up at the
border. Legally, he added. the pris-
oners are no longer ,amenable to the
discipline of the American peniten-
tiary and have the status of I'M
desirable criminal aliens at large.
Governor Donahey. at his fishing
camp in Coboconk. Northern Ontario,
has characterized the prominence given
the news that two of bis servants
were convicts as political bunk" He
said he had in his desk in Columbus
signed pardon for Jennings.
These boys" he added, ''are not
real murderers. They are convicted
of second degree, not first. They
started TO fight in a pool room and,
in both cases, their opponents were
accidentally killed. am personally
responsible for these men and / know

the pains to inquire Of the organiza-
ton whether there was any foundation
in fact for his assertions. As a mat
ter of fact there is no foundation for
them, and his statement is not only
gratuitous insult but without anything
tangible on which to base it. The Of
ficers and directors OF the Chamber of
Commerce welcome criticism or con-
structive character, and are always
glad to give hearing to any person
who has n grievance or suggestions,
fancied or real. The place 10 air
such grievances is before the consti-
tuted authorities of the chamber. and
not before other organizations which
have no knowledge of the facts. If
this man cares TO join the San An
tonic Chamber of Commerce, and offers
such constructive criticism as in his
judgment will be of benefit in solving
the problems of this city, and in ad-
vancing its welfare, he is welcome.
The salesman was present during the
time President Birkhead's statement
was made. In rejoinder he asserted
that he had been told by numerous
people that his assertions had some
foundation in fact.

BIRKHEAD DENIES THE
CHAMBER FUNCTIONS
FOR BENEFIT OF FEW
Says Statement Made by
Salesman Is Not Based
on Facts.

Incident to the meeting of the pub
licity bureau of the Chamber Of Com
merce Wednesday afternoon, President
Claude v. Birkhead took occasion to
ss5ute the assertions made by local
salesman who assailed the chamber
at meeting of the real estate board
on July "a, in which as reported in
a recent news story he asserted: The
Chamber of Commerce on several C.
casions las iunctioned in The interests
of few of the larger business con-
Germs to the exclusion of the interests
of the less influential members. / can
name several instances and have the
proof thereof, where the chamber has
failed to give square deal. They
plead for cooperation, and when we
offer it they refuse us hearing"
Colonel Birkhead stated that the ut
terances were not only without foun-
dation but were a reflection upon the
integrity Of SO representative men who
compose the board of directors of the
chamber.
This man is not a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, nor had he at

NEW LULING WELL IN
Gulf Royalty and Production Com
pany's No. I Rios 1900 Barrels.

Luling, Tex, Aug. at was re-
ported here Wednesday night that the
No. Rios of the Gulf Royalty and
Production Company had blown itself
in during the day for a production
estimated at 1900 barrels of oil daily.
Visitors 10 the well late Wednesday
evening said they saw the well max
ing a large amount of oil, many of
them estimating the total production
at above 1000 barrels of oil daily.
This we'll is located in the producing
area of the field and near the Merri-
| wethers and numerous other Rios
wells. The United North and South
Oil Company is preparing TO drill in
its No. Lee Byrd. Thursday.
Although no official of the Gulf
Royalty and Production Company has
made an announcement as yet as TO
the No. / Rios making 1900 barrels
of oil, reports from reliable sources
were on the streets here Wednesday
night that the we'll was making at
least that.
The No. 9 Lee Byrd OF the United
North and South Oil Company is re-
ported drilling in Thursday at 2OS7
feet. This we'll is offsetting the
United North and South Oil Com
pany's No. 1 Lee Byrd which came
in recently making about 1000 bar
rels of oil daily.
The Grayburg Oil Company is re-
ported to have in its producing wells
in the field Wednesday for lack of
unloading facilities at the refinery.
The situation is said TO have been re.
lieved considerably by Thursday morn
ing and the wells are being turned
loose again. This company has just
completed a 5j,000-barrel storage tank
here.
The NJ. X. Towns Production Com
pany is reported shipping oil through
the National PetEoleum Company's
field line here. This company is pre-
pairing to spud in two wells on the
southwest portion of the Merriwether
tract at once.
The Grayburg Oil Company is also
preparing 10 spud in its first well on
the Lee Byrd tract. This tract al
ready has a number OF producers and
drilling wells and is considered in the
producing area.

Failure TO act now would mean, the
commission says, that there would be
grave danger that eventually the pow
erful steel corporation and other en-
trenehed concerns, through owner
ship and leasing Of cars. would be
able to absolutely control the coal
supply and drive smaller competitors
to the wall
During the car shortage Of 1922, the
opinion says, the commission received
requests from these corporations for
permission to assign privately owned
locomotives and privately employed
train crews for the transportation of
fuel
Had this request been granted, the
insiders would have controlled all
coal shipments and the small produc-
ers would have been forced to close
shop.
''If the practice is continued" the
commission continues. 1T is not too
much to expect that in future periods

commission declares, that they existed

public.

not thus favored received much low

distribution of cars.
Favored Mines Got Cars.
"The Pennsylvania" continues the
opinion, apparently permits the own

Restore Federal Control.
Regulations which were in effect
during the period of federal control
of the railroads, and which prevented

adopted by the commission. In brief,
they provide:
/. After September 1 all coal cars

carriers in the same manner and to
