VALUE OF COOPERATION
 SHOWN IN GREENWICH

For the 10th year in succession the building contractors and the building tradesmen of Greenwich, Conn, have through their joint arbitration board reached an agreement as to working conditions and the scale of pay for the coming year, the new agreement terminating May I, 1924.
 Last year the men received a slight decrease in their pay but the new agreement signed this week for the coming year sets forth the following scale: Carpenters and joiners, $o per day; masons, bricklayers, plasterers and stone cutters, $Io per day; cleo trical workers, So per day; fathers, So per day; bod carriers, $o.5o per day and common laborers, S5 per day.
 Greenwich holds an unique position as far as industrial matters are con- cerned as it is one of the very few cities in the state and in the country for that matter where strikes are something of an unknown quantity By an agreement entered into many years ago between the employing con- tractors and the members of the building trades a joint board of ar bitration was created for the purpose of settling all differences which might arise between the two.
 How we'll it has functioned can be seen in the fact that on only one or

When No Laws Are Available To Permit Him To Continue His
 Prosecutions, He Demands The
 Passing Of Laws By Legislature
SENATOR TONE
 DESCRIBES TRIP
 OF STATE SOLONS

Two special cars, the Naugatuck and the New Britain, were placed at the disposal of the railroad committee, of the state legislature last Friday for the purpose of making an investiga- ton into the actual conditions exist ing on the New Haven road at the present time. At least that is sup posed to be the reason flor the trip to obtain some insight into conditions in order to determine the truth of the statements made by the New Haven road an Representative of the strik- ing shopmen at the recent railroad hearings in Hartford.
 The party consisted of Governor and Mrs. Templeton, Lieut.. Gov. Bingham, members of the public util- ifles commission, State Highway Commissioner Bennett, State Treas urer Gilpatric, Representative and Mrs. Pierpont of Rdgefeld, Mrs. Dunham, wife of / House Chairman Dunham, and Se&tor Samuel C. Doty Of Hartford, and even though very little was learned ab>ut the con d1ions of the road "a good time was had by all"
 The train made up at New Haven with Harry Grant at the throttle and proceeded to Hartford where the state solons got aboard and were taken first to the Cedar Hill yards From this point we will turn the party over to Senator Joseph Tone also an invited guest aboard the train who will tell about the trip.
 "A man would need to have been endowed with super-abundance of super-knowledge concerning rail roads in order to have made any sort of inspection of conditions on the New Haven system during the trip Friday by rail officials and members of the railroad committee of the state senate" declared Senator Joseph M. Tone this morning. Senator Tone was one of the party that left Hart ford yesterday morning aboard the "Naugatuck," one of the roads pri- vate cars, to make an inspection of the conditions of the road in connec tion with the senate inquiry into the strike situation.
 At the best, it was a nice excur- sion, and 1 am sure that every one greatly enjoyed the lesson ip geo. graphy that was unfolded from the countryside to those seated comfort ably in the car.
 The first stop was at the Cedar Hill hump where all that could be seen was cars awaiting power to move them. Next small section of the machine shop at the roundhouse was hurriedly gone over. Men were

reverse themselves and dismiss him from the department with it's attend ant disgrace.
 And one does not have to be a sev- enth son of seventh son to eluci- date the problem. By his actions the states attorney has demonstrated that he is out to get McNulty and he has left no stone unturned to ac- cornplish this purpose.
 The chairman of the Board of Po- lice Commis is an investiga- tor in the state attorneys office and presto the police commissioners re- verse themselves Evidently some thing had slipped before The states attorney had neglected to issue his ofders. .---...-.-. ........ ...
 Chief Smith came in for some criti- CiSm in connection with the case, but the public knows that New Haven is enjoying the services of a man at the head of the department who is recog- nized asa most capable official by the police departments of the entire toIn- try, made clear by his election Nas president of the national organization.
 Annually, under his personal super vision, the police department handles traffic jams without accident and with a limit of delay that have proved a marvel of dexterity and what has been accomplished by Chief Smith in haTdling traffic is but an index of his police abilities in other lines
 To sum the whole matter up the only apparent way to satisfy the ab- normal appetite of the states attor- ney to vent his spite on his chosen victims is to let him run wild and do as he pleases, And he is making famous progress.
 When he did not "desire the shop men to enjoy the use of the Com mercial High School auditorium he succeeded in having the Board of Education recall the permission and at the last moment.
 When he was dissatisfied with the action of the police commissioners, the commissioners promptly reversed themselves.
 When man is arrested and it is discovered That his offense is not a violation of law, a movement is start ed to have the General Assembly en- act law to make it unlawful.
 So why have a police commission, a board of education, a General As sembly, or city mayor? Why not turn the conduct of public affairs over to the present incumbent of the office of states attorney with power to do just as he pleases so long as he pleaSeS?

STRIKE OF SILK WORKERS
 SETTLED BY COMPROMISE

Employees of the Cheney Brothers, silk manufacturers of Manchester, Conn, who have been on strike since last Monday morning, have settled their differences with the company and will resume work next Monday morning. The end of the strike came last night when a committee named at a meeting of the strikers earlier in the day presented their requests to the directors of. the Cheney company and a compromise was reached.
 The strike which originally was a protest against the credit rating sys- tenn in use by the company, started in the silk weaving department and spread to other parts of the factory until gradually the entire force of 2,ooo were out.
 Most of the results of the strikers have been granted but in some few cases the demands have been modi- fed Tn the matter of wages the committee first asked for a flat in crease of 20 per cent which was not granted, but the minimum rate was fixed at 10 per cent and in some cases the new grants will reach as high as 40 per cent.

OF WORKERS PRAISED
 BY PRES. GOMPERS

Washington, April 19-"We all look to our tonorrows, some with one dream, some with another; but we all look for something better, for something more adequate and satisfying" said President GOnlpers in a message to the annual con- vertion of the workers education bureau of America. The bureau Is indorsed by -hc A F. Gf l.. which has representation upon the bureaus executive board.
 President Gompers said he regarded the work of the bureau as of unusual and lasting Importance.
 Knowledge IS one of the most potent sources of power in all the world,' he said. Knowledge leads everywhere. Knowledge breaks down all obstacles. Those who know the facts of history and the facts of our time are the ones best fitted to cope with the great problems that confront us Those who do not know must either be taught to know or they must be carried along in the march of progress by those who do know, It Is only knowledge that leads us forward.
 Tt is not necessary to say anything derogatory to our established institu- tions of learning, either those conducted by the state or those privately endowed.
 "Conditiops, however, have made 1t impossible for thousands upon thousands of adult workers ito avail themselves of educational facilities. It is to them must reach those who were unable in their youth to acquire that education that they now need.

F PERSONAL FEELINGS ARE
 TO CONTROL AFFAIRS THEN
 < ELECTIONS ARE USELESS
The Case of "Jack" McNulty Is Brilliant Example of Way Some Officials Would Like to Conduct Public Affairs to Suit Personal
 Whims and Fancies.

There can be but little question that weather vane has its uses, but after all is said and done it is but an indication of what may possibly be expected. It shows which way the wind blows and from that one may make a guess as to what the weather following may be-,
 And from recent actions one Wuuld seem safe in considering the Board of Police Commissioners as weathef vane indicating the state of mind or mental activities of the states attor- ney in his onslaught on the personal liberties of certain citizens who have aroused his enmity or antagonism.
 For some reason, not yet explained, James ]. McNulty, local police off cer, has aroused the ire of the states attorney and as a consequence has been forced to suffer in numerous ways.
 Charged with aiding in an assault, on advice of counsel, he pleaded gull ty and was heavily fined, though he claims he was innocent and followed avoid further publicity
 At that time he offered to resign from the police department, but-was denied the privilege, but later, the police commissioners, after hearing the facts presented, found McNulty innocent and accepted his resigna- ton.
 Tn the meantime McNulty got in additional difficulty. A we'll known local bully, Malone by name, while under the influence of liquor. picked quarrel with McNulty and received a most beautiful beating The con census of public opinion seemed to be that McNulty had performed pub lie service in thrashing Malone, who is nearly twice his size, but it cost him a heavy fine to accomplish what officers of the law failed to do.
 During this time McNulty endeav- ored to earn living by appearing in boxing bouts in this state, line of activity he had previously followed, but he found his efforts in this line neatly blocked through the activities of the states attorney.
 Punished on an accusation of aid ing in an assault again for teaching bully a lesson, losing a suit for dam ages brought against him and refused permission to arn a living along lines of his former activities would seem to be pretty good sized white mans burden, but the end was not yet.

RAISE SMOKE SCREEN
 SAVE COAL PROFITS

Washington, April 1q.-Coal own CTS are making hysterical efforts to detract the United States coal com mission and the public generally from the royal profits in this industry. The commission is. being flooded with stories of how the United Mine Workers of America are conspiring to monopolize this. industry, and cause anguish to the pure-minded, holy coal owners who live only to serve the people.
 The anthracite mine owners have employed Walter Gordon Merritt to sign their statements Mr. Merritt knows as much about the coal indus try as he does about the labot move ment.
 workers say, in part:
 able hold-up, it is the one that has been inflicted on consumers of anthra- cite in the last several months. It costs around $4 a ton to produce an- thracite at the mines, but the con- sumer is compelled to pay SIG to $I7 ton for that same coal. If the operators wish to put stop to a hold up, let then begin at home and re- lieve the consumer of a part of this imposition The miner receives but a very small share of the $Io or $I7. He is not responsible for the gouge of the consumers pocket.
 And when these operators raise the question of a monopoly they are again on thin ice. There is such in tricate interlocking of coal companies, anthracite railroads, sales companies, wholesalers and distributors, all con trolled and dominated by the same in terests, that the anthracite business is a gigantic, scientific monopoly, a fact well known for many years.
 If the anthracite companies are in earnest in their demand for correc- tion and regulation of the anthracite monopoly, the United Mine Workers will be happy to help them clean it up. Possibly if that were accomplish ed, this monopoly would be forced to reduce the outrageous price which the consumer now is required to pay for anthracite"

Frock and Jacket Without Belt
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

He who runs may read that the
fashion pendulum will eventually
swing back toward waistlines. But II
will probably be a long time in the
swinging.
1t is not only the woman who al
ways objects to the prevailing Sill
houette just on general principles
who has hankerings now and then
to accentuate the slenderness that
used to he known a waistlines-
Many other women have the same de-
sire.
1t will be with the placing OF the
girdle as it was with skirts.
They-the skirts-became 60 short
they couldn't get any shorter; so
willy nilly they had to get longer.
Our belts and girdles have been
anything but normal-they have gone
nearly to our knees and have taken
quiXotic jumps to the belt line that
we call Empire. They have sagged
at the back and dropped at the front.
About the only thing left for them
to cd now will be to go back to
But this change is by no means
imminent.
And you may be sure that so long
as the eccentric placing or the belt
remains il will be more and more
eccentric Fashions that have taken
strong hold on the Imagination
never fade out gradually. They go
out with Il flare!
And here is an interesting example
of just this sort of thing-a simple
straightlinc frock made with no sign
of girdle or belt-perfectly straight
from shoulder TO hem. The frock
sketched was of brown crepe de chine
and over it was worn a jacket quite
as guiltles" of belt or girdle. This
jacket: built on baggy. ulster-like
lines. is really a featherweight affair,
for it is made of beige silk crepe
bound with brown silk braid and EN-
broidered with brown.
Early in the spring. 1t was d per-
fectly sound bit of fashion philosophy
to advocate the coat. jacket or wrap
that fastened on one hip. And this
mode of fastening is still good. But
1t has just enough overpopularity to
incline some of the more exacting to
give it wide berth. So some of the
shops that make speciality of a
rather severe type of outdoor and
sport apparel are finding an unusual
