He is the most conspicuous and active
 open shop advocate i'll the country. r John E. Edgerton chairman of the Board ot Directors, Is both personally
 and as president of the National Asso-
 citation of Manufacturers, a determined
 open shop advocate.
 F. F. Porter, vice president, was for years an ernploye of the National Asso-
 ciation of Manufacturers and was its
 "collector Of campaign and labor funds. :"
 On the companys board of directors
 are the presidents of seven manufactur-
 ing companies, three clergymen, one
 economist, one lawyer and three profes-
 slonal motion picture men. The list in cludes no conspicuous advocate of trade
 unioniSm.
 Although. the National Founders Association and the National Associa-
 tion of Manufacturers are not connected
 with the company, according to MT. Barr, their members have been circu- lar1zed in an appeal for cooperation and most of the company's outstanding stock has been bought by manufacturers. Mir. Barr explained that his connection
 with the company and that of MT. Edgerton was entirely personal. It was merely coincidence, he said, that both happened to be open-shop campaigners
 and that both happened to be heads of na- tional organizations which favored the open shop.
 If the formation of the company were part of an open shop campaign, MT. Barr continued, the method would be suicidal
 in its crudeness. The pictures would bear the unmistakable mark of propa-
 ganda and for this reason could not be 1 forced upon a public which insists that
 its educational films also be entertain
 ing.
 Stressing the religious and educa- tional features, he pointed out that Bishop Charles H. Brent, the Rev. Paul ! Smith, who achieved notoriety III cam , paign against San Francisco's Barbary Coast, the Rt. Rev. James Cannon, IT,, t, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and Prof. Jeremiah w. Jenks were directors. Prof. Jenks founded the Alexander Hamilton h. stitute, said to be controlled by what Is commonly called 'big money
 All of the company's literature goes in heavily for the alleged Red Menace" in this country. Its prospectus is given the title Safeguarding the Republic" In the foreword to this Mr. Barr says 42, GOO active Reds and un-American pro
 pagandists are at work in this country.
 Aided by "a veritable reservoir of Soviet gold" these "destructionists are honey combing our industries and our people i; with gospels of .discontent.
 To fight this menace" vthe company offers educational movies for use in schools, churches, community centers,
 factories, etc. Regarding the size of its market, it points out to prospective buy CTS of stock, which it claims will pay 8 per cent, and earn more, that there are 100000 industrial plants in the country, 233,000 churches, ,208OO0 schools, 1s,O0O club houses and 1000 agricultural halls
 It adds there are 4,0OO projecting ma

State Civil Service Bulletin Raps Political
 Spells System
(Continued from Page One.)

The report, signed by Henry w. Farnam, president, finds, relative to the retirement of Charles J. Bennett, highway commissioner, that there is every reason to believe that his retirement is indirectly the result of spells politics, though in form voluntary. In other words, the state could have retained his services If 1t had been so committed to the merit system that his tenure of office would not be thrown in doubt every four years"
 Nor does the association cheerfully accept the passing over of Burton Mans field by Governor Templeton. It says he lis generally considered the best insurance commissioner that the state has had, and, although originally ap- pointed by Governor Baldwin, he has been reappointed by successive Repub1i- can governors. There has been no com plaint of his administration of the office, and no intimidation that he would not accept a reappointnent. He has, how ever, been superseded, and Col. Howard P. Durham, a Republican, member of the governors staff, and a prominent member of the present legislature, has been appointed in his place"
 Of the commissioner of labor the comment is: 'The term of the present commissioner expires July. of this year. MT. Hyde was avowedly a political ap- pointee, and the same is apparently true of his successor, Harry E. Mckenzie. No one has claimed, as far as known, that he is any more or any less qualified than his precedessor by experience or study for the handling of statistical and economical problems. The work of prohibition director for the state, which he leaves to take up the other office, involves very different kind of work. MT. Hyde was quite frank in taking account of political considerations in making his appointments, and Mr. Mckenzie will have a good opportunity Ii he desires of improving upon these methods"
 Thereport is sympathetic with E. Kent Hubbard, styling as "a peculiar bill the measure that provided that no person should serve on the board of finance and at the same time on the board of directors of one of the state institutions '' It notes that MT. Hubbard is a public spirited citizen, but Is a Democrat.
 The impropriety of passing, under the guise of general bill, measure which was intended to remove particular per son from office was so obvious that the governor vetoed the bill, but it was pass ed over his veto''
 The report admits "a strong case may be made out of the general principle that a man should not fill two positions in one of which he may be able to con- tro1 or favor himself in the second posi- tion," and cannot reconcile the Hubbard custer with the fact that when Frederick M. Salmon was elected comptroller of the state he did not feel it incumbent upon him to resign as a member of the board of directors of the state prison in Wethersfield In politics it is evident that sauce for the goose IS not always

ish government has presented 1000
pairs CT skis to the public schools
of Sweden, for the use of children
too poor to buy their own skis. The

provided at the public schools, Civ
ing from 80 to 40 hours Of instruc-
ton and exercise during the ski
Eng season.
IT is customary for the school
children to go skiing by classes,
With gailv colored caps and scarfs
they go shooting down the spruce
covered slopes of snow. The ski
courses are sometimes miles in
length, but, except for the up
grades, they are run with almost
no exertion. The sport is not only
valuable in itself, but has salu-
tarv effect on the pupils studies.
The skis are six or seven feet in
length, made of birch, and cost
about $500 pair.
The total cost of educating chill
dren in the public schools of Stock
holm, according to the latest re-
port, is 447 kronor,, or about $780,
90, year per child. State and
city share in this cost.

RUSSIA SOVIET
OPPOSE CLAIM
FOR SEIZURE

London. Feb. 15.-The Britisi
trawler Magnetic, out of the HUI.
went fishing over a year ago in com
pany with other vessels off the MUIR.
man coast, 600 miles north of Petfo-
grad in the Arctic ocean. She cav.
! ried crew of IL men. Early on the
| morning of December 81, 1922, whe.
/ nine miles off shore, she was arrest
ed by Russian patrol vessel 70,
| fishing within territorial waters. The
patrol took on board two Of the Mag
neta's crew as hostages, and sen,
two OF her own zen on board the
trawler to act as an armed guard
The Magneta was compelled to head
TO" the port of Murmansk, but vio-
lent storm arose and the fisherman
was wrecked on the beach and all OF
bO"rd were lost.
There upon the British government
protested to the Soviet authorities
1t advanced the argument that th.
loss of the Magnetic was due to her
arrest, as other vessels near her,
keeping to the open sea, rode out the
storm successfully. The British pro-
tests have been IN vain, and the
Soviet government has refused any
guarantee that the incident would
not be repeated, or to assume re-
sponsibility for it. The claim pre-
sented to Russia amounts to $685..
600. The unfortunate widows anc
families Of the English fishermen
who were drowned are reduced t,
charity. ts
Russia replies that only Russian
vessels may fish within 12 miles of
the coast. This claim is contrary t.
the general usage of the seas, and
England refuses to recognize it. The
Soviet governments argument in
wolves the closing Of some thrt.
thousand miles of fishing grounds
which are rarely fshed by Russian
vessels, and used only by Norwegian
and English vessels.
Now the British government has
sent an armed ship to the Murmah
coast to protect British trawlers. To
reach this part Of the Arctic Ocean
the route is roughly l.4OO miles
north from England, then around tn.
North Cape to the eastward, and 800
miles down to the fishing grounds.

CARRIERS TO
TELL WHY THEY
OPPOSE RATES

Kan as City, Mo-. Feb. ID Rail
road rate experts viii take the wiz
rCss stand at the rcopening of ill.,.
western freight rate hearing before
The Interstate Con mcrce Commission
here, to explain why the carriers OF
pose the cut in rates on grain, graf.
products and hay demanded by the
railroad commissions and public serv
ice commissions of nine states.
The first phase of this case was
heard by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Washington Dcccn-
Der II when witnesses representing
the agricultural interests, the fea
cral reserve banks of Kansas City,
Chicago, Minneapolis and rate cx-
ports for the state involved were
heard. At the conclusion of the first
hearing the railroad asked for an adj
journment to enable them to pre-
pane their evidence.
The original complaint was filed
by the Kansas State Public UtiliticH
Commission before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in September,
1922. The railroad and public serv-
ice commissions Of Minnesota, Iow.,
Ncbra ka, Missouri, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, North Dakota and Louisiana

the complaint filed by the Kansas
commission. 1t is u companion case
TO that fled by the Kansas commits
sion in 1927 when freight rates on
grain grain products and hay in the
western di stl let were reduced to the
extent Of one-half of the 35 per cen
increase allowed the railroads in
1920. The decrease sought involves
an aggregate cut of approximately
$32 00o, eco, according to Clyde NJ.
