OUR "Bt SIEST CITY"

Arthur L. Brown, secretary of the Hartford county manufacturers as- sociation, did not say that New Brit ain was the busiest city in the coun- try, but he did say that fl is the husi- est city in the territory covered by the association Of which he is secretary and that is something. If hard enough pressed it is possible that not only he. but others well advised on conditions would hazard guess that New Brit ain stands pretty well up among the busy cities of tho country.
 We all know there have been lay offs at the factories. but we have felt tho situation 10 he quite as the seere- tary Of this association asserts it is. Inskfllcd labor has not been in such great demand at the plants. and some men from other communities have been laid of. Moreover many Of those who have been mo longer needed are "hoaters" who never become skilled workmen because they never stick to job long enough. even when they have the chancr.
 The aspect of the situation which satisfies is tho assurance that one good judge Of such matters believes there will he no hardship among our factory workers this winter. The men who have worked regularly and who have earned fine reputations thereby. will he kept on the payrolls as far as any one can see, and only the rolling stone' will be cold because he has gathered DO moss to keep him warm if the simiie may bc allowed This note of conservative optimism cheers. Another. not q man of New Britain. 1 hss shown why this city is a pretty good place to stick to.

SUBWAY COMMITTEE.

As previously stated by The Herald
 the matter Of allowing the telephone
 company to construct a new subway
 is one which should be treated seri-
 ously as apparently involving a
 change in city policy from that of
 owning its own subways to that Of al
 lowing them to be built. on occasions, by private corporations Of the nature
 of public utilities On this point if now develops that the city would re- tain the right to purchase the subway and all rights thereto attached when the city is in a position or desires to do so. This clause would seem to eliminate the great objection that, by authorizing the construction of this particular subway, the city would be establishing a precedent to be fol- lowed by general abandonment of its policy of the past, namely that of owning it's own subWays,
 But referring again to the matter of seriously examining into the ad visibility Of allowing this subway 10 be constructed, the mayor is 10 be congratulated upon the men he has appointed on a committee to consid- CT the case. The board of finance and +,.,.ieu ,.;t,1l,- ,aooarna5 iS ablN represented on the committee. The legal side of the question will be cared for; the engineering aspect and the viewpoint of New Britain in- dustry will be disclosed in the delib- erations of the committee, The past history of the city in connection with subways will be presented 10 the other members Of the committee by one who is fully informed on that subject. With'such a committee it is believed that q wise decision is as- sured, provided the common council gives to the report of that commit tee the weight il deserves,
 This newspaper, realizing that no decision should be made without a thorough investigation Of the facts, and d safeguarding of the interests of the city. has taken no stand fav- bring the authorization of this sub way But now that such commit lee has been named and will work 10 .he end suggested, it would seem that DO harm would come to the city pro- ,ided the city retains the right 10 purchase the subway if it so desires. oy granting this right 10 construct a subway which would place under ground now the wires Of the tele- phone company since the time will come eventually when all wires will De required to be placed underground.

such criticism and his charges were uufounded. President Coolidge is re- ported to hr seeking the adNcie of the Attorney General on the matter.
 Whatever anyone may think of iu- posing jail sentence upon high otii- cial of city for criticizing the judge. two things should be remembered. This official had q course opened 10 to him to have tho merits Of the mat ter reviewed. He did not take the regular course. whether because of his own desire for haste or for other req sons, or because hc was badly advised. If he had been wronged he had q remedy. And the other point is that no one concerned, in all probability will feel that too great leniency has been shown if Mir. Craig is pardoned in this case.

COMMITTEE DUTIES

It would seem almost needless to emphasize the fact that it is neces- sary for the various committees of the common council to keep on doing their work, no matter what more or less debatahle questions arise as to the powers and rights of those com mittees. The work of the city is done mainly in committee, as in the case of the affairs of state. The moment these committees cease to function, a monkey wrench is thrown into the machinery that may not work smooth ly al the best of times
 It is not necessary to discuss the ac- ton of the police commissioners nor the powers of the charity board. nor any other department of the city, when this matter of committee duties is discussed. No committee has a right to reason by analogy as to the effect upon il a decision regarding another committees or commissions powers may have.
 The way to show the falsity Of a po- sition is to reduce it to an extreme case and indicate what would happen were all committees to take the same attitude as that taken by the ordi- nance committee, That body through its chairman. announces that il con sders it waste of time to discuss fire ordinances until the council has received from the corporation counsel an opinion as to the right Of the police board 10 make ifs own rules for ap- pointment Of patrolmen. That is a matter with which the ordinance committee has nothing to do. It would seem on the surface that the fire de- partmcnt stands in the same position regarding tho common council as does the police department. But the ordi- nance committee is an ordinance com mittee and not n body of lawyers ofi- cially designated to assert this as fact The ordinance committee was appointed to formulate ordinances and to pass upon recommendations of the departments. It has before 1t rec concentrations of the fire de- partment. Certainly il should pass upon those recommendation thus facilitating the work Of the city as far as 1t is able. The ordinance committee has no official notice that it's rulings will be disapproved by the council on the ground that the coun- cil and not the fire department has the power to make rules "concerning the establishment and maintenance cf | a police and a fire department" The recommendations Of the fire depart | ment in regard to tho ordinances it l desires may or may not have any | thing to do with the establishment | and maintenance" of it. That is a | question with which the ordinance | committee has nothing to do.
 If all the committees Of the com mon council refused to function the ! moment any legal question of rights, powers and duties arose, the city would he in bad way. The ordinance committee should do Its work.

 And so watching eagerly the returns from the great games. or witnessing them when they are played on the home grounds, or participating in them in many cases, are young men who, in order to gain a college edu- cation, are working hard "on the side" and thus paying their expenses. Some of the greatest of the athletes are do- ing this. One man, some years ago, worked his way through Yale. par italy at least, and today has salary in the ncighborhood of s100.0O0 a year.
 Is it not possible that the spirit shown in football. in baseball, in all other college activities, is the addi- tional magnet that draws from ambi- | tious boys the determination to do anything at all, if it he honest. in or der to become one of those who may profit by the splendid advantages of- fered by these great institutions?

THE CASE OF CRAIG

The Controller Of the City of New York has been sentenced 10 serve sixty days in jail for contempt of court" His offcnse was writing let ter, which he may or may not have expected would be made public. criti- eizing the decision Of a judge by mak- ing certain charges against him. Mir Craig. the Controller. admitted al his trial that two of the charges he made against the judge were unfounded: the other tso charges were held to have been anjustifod when they were passed upon in Ir. CraiE's trial for contempt The judge who sentenced him pointed out that it was Mr. Craigs duty then. to file a retraction Of the charges he had made. two Of which he had admitted to be unjust: the other two having been held uA- founded.
 Mr. Craig did not do this He did not retrsct Nor did he take the sort Of appeal from the decision against him which would permit the appellate court to review the facts on the merits. He tried to take a short cut" and the decision Of the higasr court was against him on a technical ground having nothing to do with the merits of the case.

HousE-cAT FUR IN DEMAND

The increasing use of furs, due al
most wholly to the dictates Of fashion,
threatens to cause the determination
of the most important fur-bearing
animals throughout the world. Furs
are no longer worn mainly for COM
fort and protection in winter; the
whims of style encourages their being
used during the entire year
Few people have any conception of
the number of mammals that are des-
troyed every year for the fur market
numerous are the places where they
are bought and sold that only part
of the pelts reach the main fur cen
tiers, and hence it is impossible to
ascertain the total number that are
killed annually.
st. Louis, Mo-, has ranked for many
years as the largest fur center in the
world, and at the auction held there
in 1919, lasting one week, the astound-
ing number of 5,086,303 dressed and
undressed fur skins, as well as $4,000
pounds of New Zealand and Austral-
ian rabbit pelts were offered for sale.
If the number of skins sold at one
place is so large, what must it be for
the entire world?
The more valuable fur-bearing ami
mails have already greatly decreased
in number, and therefore, other spec
les of the mammals are killed to
meet demand stimulated by fashion
AS an example, at this st. Louis auc-
ton over 10000 house cats were sold ;
firm in Chicago stated that they
themselves handled over $4,000 cat
skins in 1922. While this may be
pleasing news to the lovers of bird
life, it will hardly be conductive tc
the fur wearer's peace of mind, for
of course, no "tabby' skins are retailed
under their true name. Over 100000
muskrat pelts were listed as Hudson
Seal"

Locals Handed Marion
ShutOut Here Sunday
FIRST GAME ON HOME GROUNDS
RESULTED IN SCORE OF
ONE TO NOTHING

Eagle River nosed out winner by
the score of to last Sunday when
it defeated the Marion team in the
first game here on the home diamond
Both teams played a good brand of
baseball all the way through but it
took several innings before the crowd
got warmed up to the game. From the
start it was easily seen that the two
teams were evenly matched. Try as
they would neither one could score
although both succeeded in getting the
bases full several times.
Marion looked like the winner in
the sixth inning when two men cross
ed the plate on a hit over third base,
but when the excitement had died
down the umpire made himself heard
and called the hit foul which put an
end to the visitors one chance to win.
Eagle got its lone tally in the last
of the eighth when Bowker raped out
single with two men on bases. Paul
and ~Ewald for the locals, and LaZere
and Wulk for Marion were the batter
les. The pitchers were nicked about
evenly for hits, something like eight
or nine each.
Next Sunday the locals go to Wau-
sau for one of their hardest games of
the season.
