INSPECT ROUTE OF
 PROPOSED HIGHWAY
Legislative Committee Goes Over
 Cat Hole Road

Whether a new state highway IS constructed between this city and MerIdon via Cat Hole pass, which 1 masses through the western part or kenslngton, may depend on obserNa" lions made yesterday during a trip ,f inspection by members Of the roads, rivers and bridges committee of the legislature. Tho purpose Of the trip was 10 gain first hand in- formation as 10 conditions and to de- ,ermine whether 1t was desirable Tor he state 10 undertake the construc- ion Of the road,
 Lieutenant Governor Brainerd md Highway Commissioner Mac lonald accompanied the party which dined at the Burritt hotel in his city as guests of the New Britain Chamber Of Commerce and officials ,f the town of Berlin. The Cham ,cr of Commerce waS represented by President Joseph R. Andrews, Char es E. Parsons, Carlisle Baldwin and Nalter H. Hart The town of 5erlin was represented by First Se- Oectman George R, Carter and Rep -esentative Francis pemlng. Judge George w. klett, who represented the town of Berlin, was present and explained to the legislators the de- sirabiity Of constructing the road. Senator Edward r, Hall and Repre- sentative Fred Q. Rackliffe also at tended.
 No decision was reached by mem bers Of the legislative committee but it ia said they were favorably im- pressed by the argument that the road would relieve 10 great extent the traffic between this city and Meriden which now uses the turn pike through Berlin. The commit ice will meet next week and will de- eide then whether to recommend the construction of the road or the abandonment of the project. It is said that Commissioner Macdonald is ukewarm toward the proposal.
 The party went from the South church corner in this city 10 Archer's corner in Meriden. opposite the Robin Hood Inn. The distance by way of Cat Hole road was meas ured as II 7-10 miles. The return trip was made by way of the turn pike and the distance over that route is said to be slightly more than fl miles.
 It was explained 10 members of the committee that 8 good road through Cat Hole pass would not only save time between this city and Archer's corner but would relieve traffic on the turnpike which has reached a point where 1t constitutes q menace. It would also open up 3. route which, for scenic delight, is unsurpassed in this section of the state. Cat Hole hoad runs along the base of the chain of hills of which West Peak in Meriden is g unit. It Is rich in scenic grandeur one Of the most interesting points being the face of Washington formed by Q projecting ledge in the heart oi Cat Hole Pass It is also territory rich in historical tradition, having been used by early settlers as road between the towns of Meriden and New Britain.
 On the return trip, the party stopped at the railroad bridge al Kcnsington and inspected the under. pass which quickly fills with water during every heavy summer rain Commissioner Macdonald expressed the opinion that this condition car be relieves If a proper drain to { nearby brook is installed.

at me. Midnight passed. One o'clock

1t was after in the morning when
the chief of the secret service himself
came rushing into the room.
He held his hand toward me and

to deliver to Martens all things ad'
dressed to him personally but all mat
tiers intended for the party in gem
eral should come to them. But had
won without going into this because
it was the sense of the meeting that L
had cleared myself.
Sylvia Pankhurst then arose and
raised the question of her own right
to be there. She said that she had
been sent by her own group and not
by the Communist party of Great
Britain. She added that her group
was as large as the entire Communist
party, however. She told Of the va
rious charges against her and said that
she was sure her record as q worker
for the social revolution spoke for it.
self. Then she lodged complaint
against Rothstein.
PANKHURST ON DEFENSIVE.
She spoke of the letter from Roth
stein to Rutgers, and asked Rutgers
to tell the comrades all about it. She
demanded vote of the International,
if necessary.
Rutgers was very curt in his an.
swer. He was not willing to have the
letter discussed. He said if there was
any question about Miss Pankhurst
she should be judged only on her
past and present record as Com
munist. / induced Fri9na to demand
a vote Immediately on whether to seat
her or not. This was carried and she
was seated.
The first thing taken up was the
condition of labor throughout the
world. Every delegate reported on

as he talked.
He told cutie enthusiastically of the
great progress of the Communist
movement in America, and said that
labor was being won over to such va
extent that he was certain Of some
kind Of revolution in the United
States within eight or ten years.
URGES STRIKE.
He said that the only thing stand
ing between Communism and labor in
the United States was the control ex-
crcised by what he characterized as
corrupt labor leaders. such as Samuel
Gompers. He was bitter against Amer
lean labor leaders. He explained that
to drive these so-called corrupt lea,i-
ers out the Communist party was
planting" men in the small labor
groups to organize opposition to the
leaders so the Communists eventually
could quietly get control from the
bottom and work up. Of course. there
was n lot of truth in what he said,
but he painted it too wildly.
