Census Bureau Report Shows S17,112,0O0 for Year 1919 as Against S7,310,0O0 in 1909.

A comparative summary of indus tries in the bureau of census reports of 1920 show that bread and other bakery products in this state more than doubled in the value Of output in the ten years from 1909 10 1919. The value of these products was s7.310.000 in 1909 and in 1919 the value had been increased to $l1ll2,- Uo0.
 In 1919 there were 431,O0O Con necticut establishments handling bread and bakery products while this number had increased to 494,000 by 1919. There were l.S69.000 wage earners connected with this industry in 1909 while in 1919 there were 100000 wage earners which is an increase of over 100000 persons. A corresponding increase in wages IS also noted during this decade, The estimated payroll for the industry in 1909 was Sl,222,0o while in 1919 it was s2.651 900.
 Along with the value of the prod ucts, the cost of materials showed enormous increases during the ten years. Materials used by bakers of the state in 1909 cost s4,463, 900 while the materials used in 1919 cost Sl0,- 93S,000. Allowance must be made for the greatly increased amount of materials used in 1919 when compar- ing these figures. The great scarcity of wheat during the war and directly after is also in large measure re- sponsble for the huge cost figure for materials used by bakers in l3l9.

Canadian Postal Strike
Held Mistaken POLICY

Employees of the Canadian post office
went out on strike, demanding increased
wages. Mails in the Dominion have
been tied up; business is Ilampered the
public suffers In the United States
postal employees, lamentably underpaid,
are continuing loyalty at their tasks
while urging that their inadequate
wages be readjusted. The contrast be-
tween methods Of the Canadian and
United States postal workers reflects
happily to the disadvantage Of the latter
In all human probability the Canadian
strike will fail Already the controversy
has reached the point where the govern
ment has refused to dismiss new work
ers taken on during the strike in order
that all old employees may be taken back.
And after the strike fails the Canadian
postal men will be far worse or than
before, because they will have lost the
sympathy and support Of the public. In
the United States post ofiice workers by
holding to a sound and sensible, though
less spectacular, method are by contrast
on stronger grounds than ever.
United States citizens in general will
applaud the loyalty and devotion of their
post office forces when compared with
the Canadian. But we can't applaud
standards which prescribe strike of
workers in an essential government In
dustry unless we are willing to do them
justice voluntarily and not wait for a

not win their strike, but United States

Swollen Delegations.

Will the experience of the Demo:
cratic party in the recent convention
in New York lead to a curtailment of
the delegations from the states? AS
suredly there was no advantage in the
enlarged delegations, where individuals
held half votes each or quarter votes.
Compliment had been paid to many
more persons than under the old rule
of sing1e-unit delegations. But the
compliment proved to be a costly one
as the convention dragged its expen-
sive way along for many days.
It has been: contended by some OBJ
servers of the proceedings at New
York that the blockade was in some
measure due to. the fact that certain
Of the delegations were hearty twice
as large as necessary, with the result
of q wide scattering Of votes. Surely
there was no great compliment for a
person to receive! a half vote from a
great state like Illinois, for example.
Half vote out: Of 1908 could not
count ~ 2 particular honor.
= On one occasion under the peculiar
conditions votes were cast In ffths,
which, to effect . uniformity of count
for the whole ballot. had to be ex-
pressed in hundredths. The effect was
ridiculous. In the polling Of delega-
tions where the initial votes were chal-
lenged, again and again the proceed
fngs were greatly slowed by the need
to read lists Of thirty names to get the
equivalent Of sixteen or eighteen full
votes. Toward the latter part of the
convention, when delegates had de-
parted for less costly regions. the
pollings were especially slow.

wasted by reason OF these swollen dele

While Maryland and Virginia IRE
quentiy engaged in disputes ais to
whether the boundary between the
two colonies, and later the two states,
was a line drawn, in midstream of
the Potomac or at low tide or at high

ginia over Alexander Island was ever
questioned. At the time Of the Mary.

passed back to the jurisdiction Of

Busy Breezes.

Busy Breezes.
Gentle Breeze from far away,
Once you lightly seemed to stray
Gathering perfume from the f1ow'rs
AS you soothed the weary hours.
Gentle Breeze, it's now made known
You have burdens OF your own.
We're surprised to contemplate
Such q vast amount Of freight;
Songs you carry from afar;
Saxophone and steel guitar,
Grand piano and trombone
Laden you with mystic tone:
Lectures on important themes
Passports to the land of dreams,
Sermons seeking for the best,
Bits of epigram or jest,
Market prices, weather news,
Anything that taste may choose
We discover in the air
AS we listen in with care.
Gentle Breeze. it frets the brain
AS we think what you contain.

Nobody will ever know the money cost
Of the process of "complimenting" ex-
cess numbers of partisans from the
states. 1t cost the fraction-voting
delegates themselves and 1t cost the
national and local committees in the

end 1t did not lead to any more surely
wise choice.
Both Of the major parties would do
well to return to the old practice of
sending to their conventions only the

equal number of alternates to stand by
as possible substitutes. Reading clerks.

Estimates for the Conduit.

The District Commissioners, in max
ing up their estimates for the fiscal
y year 192526.. may ask for an ,appro-
priation of sS,O00,0O0 for the conduit
: snow building between Great Falls and
l-the Georgetown reservoir. The. ques-
tions involved in this matter have been
E gone over many times, but with the
estimates and appropriations for d
new fiscal year it is likely that the
ground will be gone over again by the
Commissioners, the Bureau of the
Budget and the committees of Con-
!agress.
The second conduit was authorized
after many years delay because when
working at capacity the old conduit
could bring water to the city no faster
than the city needs it in Summer, and
not much faster than the city needs it
, in Winter. The reservoirs, hold only
about one days normal supply in Sum-
-.Iner. The danger of dependence by
nearly half million people on a single
water pipe line has been stressed. En-
.gineers have many times reported that
sections of the line are weak, and that
y repairs cannot be made without cut
ting off the water supply, and that
Washington would suffer water famine
before the water could be turned on.
A break may happen at any time along
any part of the line.
A few weeks ago the conduit broke
beyond Cabin John Bridge. Repair
work was begun at once, pressed every
hour of the twenty-four, and a f1ume
built along the break which brought a
half supply of water till the broken
section of the. conduit was rebuilt
The break happened in cool, rainy
weather, but economy in the use of
water was urged, and the reservoirs
were nearly empty when water was
. turned on. The new conduit should be
pushed to completion as fast as pos
sible. The engineers want to do this,
for, besides the danger of delay, there is
waste Of money in spreading the work
over a longer period than necessary.
When work was begun the engineers
calculated that with adequate appro-
.priations the conduit could be finished
in 1927. They computed that an an
nual appr ropriation of s2,500,00O would
do this. The budget bureau reduced the
estimate for the present fiscal year to
$500, 900. The matter was taken up
with President Coolidge by the Secre-
Etary of. War, aud Congress was asked
TO appropriate s2,500,O0O. The House
Of Representatives stood by the budget
allowance and appropriated 100000,
The Senate increased the appropria-
ton to the sum asked by the Commits
siopers and urged by the Secretary Of
War, but in the conference between
the two houses on the District bill the
sum of s1,5O0,00O was agreed to. The
people of the District believe that the
engineers estimates in the matter Of
the new conduit should be accepted by
Congress.

Tammsny Hunts a New Leader.

The death of Charles F. Murphy
some weeks ago left Tammany Hall,
New York's dominant political organi-
zation, in a serious quandary. There
was nobody available to take his place
as leader-that is to say, nobody inn
hediatefy; at hand recognized as" sue
cesSor to the chief. There were, many
braves willing to assume the leader
ship, and quite confident of ability to
carry out that leadership role. But
willingness, is not paramount quail
fication, and so a committee of leaders
hunted for new chief and selected
Surrogate Foley, Murphy's son-in-law.
He finally, after some hesitation, de-
clined, and then as the national con-
vention was about to be held the mat
ter was postponed, and Tammany was
put into trust, so to speak, tempo
rarily. Gov. Smith did not care to have
any distractions arising from leader
ship competition while his own for.
tunes were at stake in the presidential
contest.
Now that the convention is over
Tammany is to be fitted out to a new
leader. This afternoon the man and
woman members Of the executive COM
mittee of the county Democratic COM
mittee will meet in the hall on 14th
street to select Murphy's successor.
There are two factions in the fight.
One holds that nobody should be raised
to the leadership over all who has not
served an apprenticeship as a district
leader. These are the older Tammany-
ties. The younger ones believe that
the leader should be chosen without
reference to the old conservative pro.
cedure Of promotion from precinct
boss to ward boss, to district boss, to
boss over all.
One of the candidates urged for the
leadership is James ]. Hoey, who has
recently achieved some distinction by
managing the demonstrations for
Smith at Madison Square Garden.
There are some who aver that he over
managed them, that he made too much
noise; that the mechanical devices
which he caused to be slipped into the
hall made a farce Of the Smith en-
thusiasm and caused reaction against
the governor. However that may
be-. his friends are now contending
that he should not be punished for
his ardor.
During these proceedings there is
one face that is absent. one familiar
form that is missing. Mayor Hylan
has gone west with his friend Hearst
and nobody knows where he staAds
on local Or national political matters.
He left Immediately after the conven-
ton and from certain rather cryptic
:utterances deduction has been made
that he does not intend to stand strong
,ly for the national ticket. But it is
known that he is a candidate for a
third term as mayor. He and Tam
many have had some serious differ.
ences, and if he should offer for a
third term it is quite likely that Tam
many will, offer a candidate against
him and a lively three-cornered fight
may be had this fall. >-

July 1, the day set for the Japanese
migration. law, passed with nothing
more serious than the cutting down
of the American flag from the en-
bassy pole. Editors are inclined to
view the matter as merely an in
dividual slur and not a deed COM
mitted by Japan. An apology from
the Japanese government, editors
say. relieves any estrangement that
might have resulted between the two
governments.
The general sentiment in this coun-
try is aptly put ny the Chicago
Tribune, which says: Sensitive jap
anese need not be alarmed at the
American flag incident in Toxic. We
have our cranks ana jingoes as well
to a flag by one Of them Is not, an
insult by the country Of which he is
a citizen. There ara no hard feelings
in America over the affair. We have
had our own concern lest one of our
own cranks should attempt reprisal.
But Americans appreciate, neverthe-
less, the promptness with which the
Japanese government repudiated the
act and apprehended the guilty one.
We hope that he will not be treated
Japan to irritate her public needlessly
against this country" The Baltimore
Evening Sun believes that we should
suggest to japan that Okada and
his fellows be excused and freed with
an admonition that tearing down flags
is a silly way to right fancied ma
tional wrongs" In this connection,

sists that prevention Of outrages is
more to the point than the most dras-
tic punishment of the culprits after

sides must be held in restraint"

The matter should not be taken
with much seriousness, in the opinion
Of the Spokane Spokesman Review.
which holds that youth Is youth

declaration of the Toxic mass meeting
that our. exclusion law has hufniliAted

gress passed the law, and such hu-
initiation as the Japanese nation may
have suffered Is due to their own

script points out the danger In this
mass hostility and contends that
