TROLLEYMEN TO CUT BIG FIGURE
 IN CONVENTION
Connecticut Delegation to Oakland May Be Only Three But
 It's There"

New England and Connecticut is to be well represented at the, con vention of the trolleymen's union to open in Oakland, California, on Sep tember 10.
 State Chairman of the Conference Board Frank O'Meara- of Hartford and his wife will represent Hartford and the New Haven local will be rep resented by Leo J. O'Connor and
 Paul Reynolds, president and secre- tary. Other locals in Connecticut Twill not be represented, the trip being too far. In fact were 1t not due to the injection of the automobile into traffic affairs perhaps Connecticut might not have been represented at |all
 But New England IS alive. Boston lis sending 24 delegates to the cross country convention. New York and New Jersey, where strike has just been won, is doing likewise. There fore the northeast will be we'll taken care of when the convention meets. The Connecticut party, small as it is, will leave for Springfield on Satur-
 day next From there they will go the "Wolverine" express with ,all the eastern delegates on board and pro ceed to Oakland. It will be troll |1eymen's party from there on. Chairman O'Meara Is bringing the wife along, (according to his friends) for protection There is something in the works to elect a New Eng lander to one of the national offices
 and there's no telling but what MT IO'Meara fniglft be the man, despite Boston's big delegation Therefore might be the reason why Frank is taking along body guard-and it is we'll to mention here taking her along at his own expense. {
 The two New Haven delegates elected had their troubles getting of for the convention. It means three weeks and, good trolleymen as they are the company was loath to lose their services for the period Some of the pikers within the union were also kicking but the majority who really know what 1t Is about decided to stand by the vote to send the. dele
 gation so we all expect transfer from Frisco and way stations during the convention.
 If ever a delegation was needed al any convention the Connecticut troll leymen need 1t now. The auto bus is coming and the trolleymen must protect themselves, regardless of the temporary expense.

Coming Plan Illegal

Newark, N J., Aug 25.-The SUI preme court holds that the town of Nutley, this county, can not refuse to permit business in a residential dis trict The court says this is not a proper exercise of police power for the purpose of promoting public well fare, safety and health, and that 1t Is a violation of the rights of the prop erty owner. The case will be appealed to the New Jersey court of errors and appeals. It is in conflict with decis- ions by supreme courts of New York, Kansas, Louisiana, and other states that have upheld the principle of zon- ing in setting apart certain districts for residential purposes, others for bushes and others for industry.

A STORY ON
 PROHIBITION TOO GOOD TO WITHHOLD

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. B. Governor George L. Silzer, of New Jersey, whose boom for the demo- cratic presidential nomination was launched this week at New York, re- ceived first hand information as to
 how the Volstead law works in New Jersey when he addressed the an
 nual State Federation of Women's Clubs at Haddon Hall. Toward the close of a speech, in which he gave his approval to uni form marriage and divorce law, de claring that the act passed by the ground for divorce in this state, would tend to make a Reno of New Jersey, some one in the audience asked the governor to speak on prohibition The governor then proceeded to relate an experience he had recent ly, when he asked those in an audi Ience of 500 who had not violated the |Volstead law to stand. He said that II of the 500 stood.
 "It might be interesting to apply that test at this meeting" he re- marked, and he cautiously glanced over the audience of 900 women. Deep silence followed.
 How many in this audience," said the governor, haven't violated the Volstead law since the law went into effect?' asked the chief executive of the state, and for moment a pin could have been heard to fall. Then here and there among the audience women began to rise, until finally 40 per cent stood, while the remaining 60 per cent. clung to their seats, many with dismay written on thenr coun- | tenances.
 About 40 per cent. haven't vio- lated it, I should judge, remarked the governor.
 ord unanimously for strict enforce ment of the Volstead law and num- Der in the gathering had said that it's
 provisions were not drastic enough. The effect of this announcemen nt , stunned the audience for a few min utes.
 Then there was scattering of faint applause.
 "I believe that prohibition is one
 of the most difficult problems before us today" said Governor Silzer, in addressing the delegates. "I am in terested more personally in temper ance than in prohibition If prohibi; | ton will give us temperance, ani 1 for it; but it has done so in the last two years.
 Present methods certainly are pro l ducing an unfortunate condition of affairs. There is not woman in this froom who doesn't know there is a lot of drinking among young folks. There isn't any doubt young girls are drinking more than they did am sorry to see 1t.
 Tt IS weakness of human nature to do what you are forbidden to do. | The question now is how to obtain results. It is certain we haven't ob- | tained results.
