MAYOR ACTS ON
School AFFAIR
Trying 10 Make It Hot for
Chilly Rooms

Mayor Paonessa this morning took
hand in the school departments
affairs 10 the extent Of endeavoring
10 effect an early adjustment Of the
heat situation at the Stanley school
where no sessions have. been held
since last Friday because of the
failure Of the heating apparatus to
function. A similar situation exist
ing the Smalley school has been rec
titled and sessions were held today.
Heat far the Stanley school was
supposed to come from the State
Normal school heating plant on
Wells street, and work has been
going on for some time installing
mains between this plant and the
Nschool with the expectation that 1t
would be completed by the time 1t
became necessary to heat the
school. But last Friday when heat
was needed, there was none forth
coming.
Things were apparently at a
etandstill until this morning when
the mayor decided to take matters
into his own hands and see to 1t
that the children did not miss any
more sessions than was absolutely
necessary, He telephoned the state
commissioner of education, A. B.
Meredith at Hartford and was in
formed by the commissioner that
State Inspector Of Buildings Kellogg
had looked over the school and had
reported everything all right.
The commissioner told the mayor
that he would send Inspector KEEL
logg to New Britain as soon as pos
sible and have arrangements made
for the heating of the building a
once. Mayor Paonessa said that HI
would await Inspector Kellogg's ar
rival in his office today and that +
he did not come, he would seek hin
out by telephone tonight.

BAKERIES Merger
facing CONTEST
Violation Of Clayton Act Charged
by Trade Commission

Washington. Oct. P-Plans for
the huge baking merger which Is to
include the Continental Baking cor
porution have been brought TO COM
pletion, as Just announced in New
York in the face OF charges OF vio-
lation of the Clayton act filed against
that company by the federal trade
commission nearly six months ago.
Announcement Of the merger
plans has brought TO light that a
complaint charging violation of the
act was served by the commission on
the Continental corporation on
April 13' last and has emphasized
anew the split In the commission
over its new rule of secrecy In is
suing complaints. Acquisition of
control in a number of smaller con-
Germs was cited as the basis OF the
complaint.
A copy OF the complaint has been
made public by two members Of the
commission, Huston Thompson and
John +. Nugent, who opposed adop-
ton of the lie that complaints be
kept secret until the respondents
have filed answer and who onSe be-
fore have deliberately disregarded
its provisions.
The two commissioners said they
considered their action advisable In
view of the announcement of COM
pleted plans for the $40O,000,00O
merger of the Continental corpora
tion with the Ward and General
Baking companies
They maintained that the commits
sion had disregarded the spirit of the
Clayton act, under which authority
its complaints are issued, by not
making the complaint public when
it was served and had directly dis
regarded its requirements In not
calling for q reply within thirty
days
Had such A course been followed,
they said, the resulting publicity
would in all probability have had the
effect OF hating the combination of
the respondent with other great
baking corporations" until the legal
ity of such a merger could have
been determined by proper testi-
mony.
As it Is, they said. the Continental
