The attitude is that of batting the company. How persistent that at itude would be if there was not a municipal election pending must De left to conjecture. There is one thing certain and 1t is that the sentiment of the business people of the city and of those who pay the taxes and who have substantial interests at stake in the community are not in accord with the attitude of the board of aldermen
 One of the most unreasonable de- mands made on the company is the creation of Hartford into a distinct zone and the separation of it from the general system of the Connecticut company for the purpose of determin- ing the rate of fares in Hartford The reason of that demand is that the Hartford lines pay and pay we'll. and that the Hartford patrons of the company should not be compelled to make up the deficit in the operation of lines mother places The absur- dity of this demand will be appreciat- ed when 1t is remembered that when the Hartford system was bought by the company from the old Hartford Street Railroad company it became an integral part of the entire system sharing in the benefits of the general development of the system. and in it's obligations. The money paid for the Hartford system came out of the pockets of stockholders of the Conn eetieut company as a whole and not as part. The logic of the eity's proposition Is that the business of the company should be broken up into units throughout the state and that the fare in each unit should be predi- cated on it's business. There would then be as many rates of fares as there would be units The company would then be justified in diseon- tinuing the operation of trolley lines in units which did not pay. This would have a serious effect on the business of the merchants of Hartford in impairing the system of transpor- tation to Hartford and thereby redue- ing the number of people who came to this city to do their trading. Hart ford is the shopping center of popu- lation of about l75.0 outside the i50, GOO residents of the city. An appreeiable falling off in the retail business of Hartford would result from an impairment of the trolley ser vice between this city and outside communities But fortunately for Hartford the aldermen have not the last word in determining matters re- lating to the trolley service. The public utilities commission exercises superior authority to which even the board of aldermen of the city of Hartford must bow In harrassing the Connecticut company the alder men are rendering the city a disser- vice. The attitude of the aldermen is quite popular in circles where cor poration batting is favored

Hartford. Feb. 2s. 1924.


 The action taken by the friends of Judge Gustav B. Carlson. of Middle town, to secure for him the Republi- can nomination for congress in the second district has attracted attention. It was the first reliable intimation which the voters of the four eastern counties, making up the district, had that Judge Carlson had congressional aspirations. Some years ago he had the backing of Middiesex county for appointment to a judgeship of the superior court. Judge Haines was appointed by Governor Weeks to the judgeship. It is presumed that the friends of Judge Carlson, in what they are doing to secure for him the Re publican nomination for congress in the district. have the eountenanee, fl not the positive approval of the judge. At any rate he has not taken any steps to disclaim responsibility for their course. It is not clear that the eandi- daey of Judge Carlson for congress has the endorsement of the Repuhli- can organization of the district. In fact the indications make it evident that the organization Is neutral.
 There are now two candidates from Middlesex county in the field for the nomination. One is General M w. Potter of Deep River, and the other is Judge Carlson. General Potter was a candidate two years ago but with drew in difference to the desire of the Republicans of the district that Con gressman Freeman should have an- other term in congress. The entrance of Judge Carlson into the field for the nomination does not affect the candi- dacy of General Potter nor abate the Generals confidence in the likelihood of his success at the district conven- ton at which the candidate will be chosen. One of the most prominent Republican leaders of Middletown. perhaps the most prominent. said the other day. and with impressive em- phaSis too, that General Potter was the choice of Middlesex county for the nomination and that il was not likely the district convention would turn down a candidate who has the backing of his county for one Who has not.
 There does not seem to be any doubt that Congressman Freeman, if he is a candidate for another term in congress, will fail of renomination. It is not believed that his candidacy would have the unanimous support of New London county in which he lives There continues to he more or less talk to the effect that Mr. Freeman will in due time announce that he is not a candidate for renomination. l. is recalled that the position of United States district attorney has not yet been filled and that there are some eople who continue to think that Con gressman Freeman will be appointed to it when he ret:res from Congress. notwithstanding the fact that chair man Rorabaek favors the appoint ment of Judge George W. Klett ,of New Britain.

Factory Inspection

The reported intention of Labor Commissioner Harry F. Mackenzie to ask the legislature at the session of 1925 for an increase in the number of male factory inspectors and for two additional women inspectors is a matter of considerable interest to owners of factories and their em- ployees. Mir Mackenzie, who has put new life into the activities of the labor department, may be depended on to make the best possible use of the increase in his force. But it is too soon to decide definitely that the increase is necessary or that the ad- ditional help would make the work of factory inspection more efficient. |. is true that the reported intention of Commissioner Mackenzie has the backing of the Consumers League. The league is an organization of benevolently minded people and its recommendations always receive the careful consideration which they de- serve. Its endorsement of the inten- tions of the labor commissioner will have due weight with the legisleaure as it should have. The subject will be given thorough airing before the NbHlfliAttf Nb WHICH lt VIII De FhiHfftu for consideration Within the past twenty years the general assembly has done a great deal for the improve ment of the conditions under which people are employed in the factories of the state.
 The manufacturers have not been opposed to measures for the benefit of their help. Their opposition has been only to those radical bills which, in their operation, would harrass em- ployers without eonferring benefits on their employees. There has been a sympathetic cooperation between the manufacturers and the reasonable representatives of labor on the matter of improving labor conditions in fac tories. There have been at time acute differences of opinion but none which showed that the manufacturers were insensible to the needs of those whom they employed, nor which indicated that the labor organizations desired to annoy the employers of labor. The result of the fair minded attitude of both sides to the others claims has been the enactment of laws which have vastly improved the conditions in factories. Those who work at ma chimes are better safe guarded against tile dangers incidental to mechanical work. There is less exposure to ac- cident than there used to be and the sanitary conditions are very much im- proved from what they were a quar- ter of century ago. Commissioner Mackenzie may be expected te be in sympathy with the policy of the legis- lature for retrenchment, where ever possible. and of rigid economy in pro viding for expenses. The time has come to call a halt to increasing bud- gets and to expanding expenses. The pay roll of the state is already ex- eesive and 1t is well known that the service is overmanned. It is hard to see the necessity of increasing the number of factory inspectors. The present force is large enough for the work that is required of it. Mir. Mac Kenzie may be depended on not to make 8 record for extravaganza in administration.
