COMMUNICATED
THE FIFTH WARD

| Aprll Is, l32; Editor New Britain Herald,
 Dear Sir:
 Permit me to insert few lines ir regards to statement in these col umns made by the alderman" oi the fifth ward.
 l The ex-alderman certainly was "ur in the air over the endorsement ot the present alderman, Pajewski b. the democrats of the fifth. Is 1t moi true that the ex-alderman wore out a pair of shoes in trying to get the nomination for the adermanship of the fifth? But due to the good judg- ment of the democrats of the fifth, who. by endorsing the present incum- bent of the alderman's chair. cut short his mushroom like pre- election career,-hence all the grief and the statement presumably written by the "ex-alderman."
 By endorsing the present alderman, the democrats made good political stroke. and time will tell, and in the future the "ex-alderman" should write communications himself with his own hand and use his own head not someone else's, and sign his name to them only. And one thing more "ex- alderman"--I will say that what you wrote few days az, was much ado over nothing"
 VOTER OF THE FIFTH.

'TE,JI US, COURANT.

The "esteemed" Hartford Courant takes us to task editorially for suggest | ing in an ironical vein, that propon- ents of the ridiculous antidaylight saving bill which would have made it a iail offense to wilfully and publicly display a timepiece showing any other than standard time, use tallow dips
 for light. It quotes a portion of an editorial in this newspaper which mentioned, in the same ironical way, the fool notions" of city people.
 We are constrained to make our re- ply directly to that newspaper in the form of an humble plea that it tell us. and others who, having no literature ct hand, pick up the Courant in de- spair what it thinks of said bill. Thus we say no, gentle teacher. revered and erudite Courant--you who teach so clearly how to avoid discussion of a bill upon which you cannot comment favorably, but which you wish not to oppose, this newspa per does not be- lieve they use tallow tips on the farms any more than this newspaper be- lieTes ali the notions of city people are fool notions. So great is our opinion of your learning and wit that we blush to call to your attention the obvious irony of the comment which you honored with the place of promi- nence in your columns.
 This newspaper is tempted, even, to quote the delightful legislative repar- tee to which we arc indebted to you for reproduction, based upon remarks of statesmen that, if the city people would not let the farmers cram any thing down their throats, Heaven help the city people" referring, of course, to the crying need Of city people for the food raised by the farmer
 But. for the sake of waiting pub- lie and which hangs upon your words and which might hang were it to rely upon the correctness of those words always, we make the humble plea that

SAVING EXPENSES

When an administration has "econ-
 omy" for its watchword. fighting ar-
 dently to cut down the cost of schools, and then gets busy planning swim | ming pool to which at least there is some opposition, one pauHcs to won der. This situation was commented upon previously in these columns. The plan originally was to spend $50, ,o00 for this pool, making it quite up-t date by having concrete bot tom.
 It Is noted now, with some satis- faction, that the plans have been changed. There is to be no concrete bottom and sand will probably be used cutting the expense in half. Thus, you see, the administration will "save" the city some $25,0o0. Isn't that sim pie? All of which reminds of the chap who wanted to impress his best girl with his courage, so he gave a friend thirty cents to insult the girl and allow him, the plotter. to whip the friend right in front of the girl. Some people might think, however, that the friend of the girl would have treated her more fairly if he had not bribed his acquaintance to insult her.
 Similarly there would be no need of saving" the city $25,oo0 if the swim ming pool were not to be built. The refraining from building it would save the taxpayers all of it's costs, of course. Nothing was ever accom- plished by putting up man of straw just to knock it down again.
 It is with the greatest difficulty that one persuades himself to oppose anything that will make the hot days of the summer more comfortable for the children of the city who have not all the advantages. The sight of the | little ones in the shallow water at the pool at the top of Walnut Hill park | of a hot day brings enthusiasm that | there is a place where they may be happy in the coolness of the water. It is worth a special trip up there for anyone, just to see them splashing in the water and to realize how much a little comfort and pleasure like this means to them. But it is possible to doubt whether or not the proposed nool in the North End will bring pleasure and comfort to the tiny ones who need it. Will it not be usurped by the older ones whose general vel fare would be more decidedly bene- flied bv q saving of expense to the city, even though they are not yet taxpayers?

ADVERTISING CONNECTICUT

The unpleasant advertising of this state resulting from the action of the house in passing the ridiculous anti daylight saving bill which is defeated now by the senate, continues. The significance Of it is emphasized here as it is emphasized in the New York World, which says editorially: But the attitude of the House and of the farmer constituency which demanded an orthodox time, with jail for the dissenters, is quite unchanged and goes q long way toward explaining why there is less social and political freedom in the United States than a series of eminent visitors to our shores had been led to exepect 4.

I THINK OF APRIL (Contributed)

Whene'er Y think of April, A vision comes to me, fG Of green grass in the meadow And new leaves on the tree.
 bless the thought,
 That April's brought, Of grassy hill and lea. 5 I see the budding flowers, Forget-me-nots pale blue, And modest purple violets, That hidden lie from view.
 Whose fragrant scents
 The winds dispense And near their petals strew. I SC the golden sunshine, ' see the silver rain, I hear the bird folk trilling, Their sweet, inspired refrain.
 And April bless
 With fervidness. Beloved of hill and plain.

100000 PACKING WORKERS
 GET BACK CUTS IN WAGES
Alternative To Industrial Unionism Restores Rate-Payroll Increased
 s2,50O,O0O Yearly

Chicago, April 14.--"Industrial democracies" in the "big five" pack ing plants of the country have restor- ed directly to S0,000 workcrs--and in- directly to 120.000 more--the ten per cent of their wages which the same plant legislators took away in Mo- vember 1921.
 Announcement last night that the plant assemblies had voted the pay increase marks the second big step by these organizations instituted by the packers as an alternative for in- dustrial unionism.
 The action of the packing house councils followed negotiations so quietly conducted that the first pub lie intimation of an upward reAdjuet- ment of wages was the announcement that 1t had been voted.
 The five companies directly af- fected-Armour. with the Morris & Co. plants it recently purchased; Swift, Wilson and Cudahy-employ S0.000 workers. Independent com panies and subsidiaries which are ex- pected to follow suit as the big five set the wage standard will bring in
 
 In addition to the average increase of ten per cent in wages the plant as- semblies also agreed on vacations with full pay, or extra pay at the usual rate if the worker chooses to remain at work during his vacation period.
 The wage scale is based on 54 hour week with overtime after ten hours in any one day to be paid for at the rate of time and half. The 40 hour week guarantee is continued and double pay promised for Sundays and holidays.
 The increases will add more than S2,500,o00 yearly to the payroll of Ar niour and Co.,, with it's 35,o00 workers, Swift and Co. announced 5000, em- ployes here and 25,o00 in other parts of the country will benefit.

The police commission is to be com mended for its decision to introduce the merit system in the department. By the adoption of this system po- licemen who perform their duties conscienciously will have high stand- ing and the public will be informed of their achievement. Others who are not as efficient in the discharge of their duties will have something to work for. goal to attain, and as it is expected that all the men will make an effort to maintain high grade, the entire department should always be on it's mettle.
 The Observer would go further than the mere introduction of the system. Annual awards should be made to policemen who finish the year with averages above a certain percentage, the ceremony taking place in public. The awards need not be expensive and the idea covld be car ried out simply by the presentation of certificate signed by the chair man of the police commission and the chief of the department stating that the recipient has had certain aver age for the year. -
 In determining policeman's aver age, his superior officers could give thought to his punctuality in report
