WOULD RAISE BAR ON
 VISITING TRADESMEN
Building Commission Will Be Asked to Honor Electricians Licenses
 Issued Elsewhere.

The building commission will be asked next Monday to adopt policy of honoring electricians licenses is- sued in other cities and towns in the issuance of permits here.
 Several Hartford firms have had occasional contracts here and they have found it necessary to delay op- erations until a workman can be eX- amined. These tradesmen. they argue, have demonstrated their abil- ity before the examining committee Of another city where qualifications are equally as rigid as in New Brit ain. Such a policy as the proposed would also be beneficial to New Britain tradesmen going elsewhere to work, they point out.
 The present ordinances prescribe license fee of $15 and a renewal fec each year of the same amount. Other cities place the renewal at a lower figure and the commissioners will be asked to consider such a change here.

General Tendency Of Market
 Is Upward

New York, Nov. 24 Pl-The main market continued upward despite the usual pre-holiday profit taking and a selling attack on issues with large Mexican property holdings. based on the dispute over Mexican land laws. With money in plentiful supply and excellent prospects for record breaking holiday business in several lines. operators for the rise continued to mark up stocks in sev- eral sections of the list.
 The weekly steel trade reviews reported little change in the rate of operations, but stressed the heavy buying of rails and other railroad equipment. Baldwin, which was under pressure during the morning, rallied about five points from its low to 151. the highest price in several years. U. s. Steel common and General Motors also pointed upward after an early interval of heaviness. Accumulation of other motors was in anticipation of the introduction of new models, the de- velopment expense of which is be- lieved to have been charged off in the second and third quarters of the year.
 Rails gathered strength on the continuation of heavy freight traf- 1ic and the publication of addition al favorable October earnings state ments. Anthracite coal carriers led the advance in that group. Local fractions advanced under the leader ship of Brooklyn Manhattan Tran sit, which crossed 70 to 6 new 1928 peak. Baking. shipping. motion picture, equipment, oil and farm implement shares also presented several points of strength. Commercial solvents which scared II points yesterday fell from 2S5 to PA and Cuyamel Fruit broke five points to new low.

National Chamber Of
Commerce Approves More
Salary For u. S. Judges

A plea for increased salaries for
federal judges is made by the Cham
Der of Commerce Of the United
States in communication to local
Chamber of Commerce and Mines
calling attention to a bill providing
for increased salaries which has been
reported to the house of representa-
tives, the chamber says:
This bill proposes 1t salary SEIZED
ule that would materially increase
the pay of the Justices of the SUI
preme court Of the United States,
United states circuit judges, United
States district Judges the United
States court of customs appeals, the
court of appeals of the District of
Columbia, the United States court Of
claims, the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the board of
general appraisers, a similar bill
is pending before the senate COM
mittee on judiciary.
mo factor in the preservation of
the integrity of our government is
more important than the judiciary.
The prestige and the effectiveness
of the courts are determined largely
by the character of the men who
serve. 1t is an admirable COM
mentary upon the prestige of our
federal courts that sjurists of high
character have been willing to serve
for compensation much below their
worth as members Of their profess
sion. This is sacrifice that many
men cannot make and inadequate
salaries provided have led many emil
nent men to decline appointments or
to relinqush their offices.
Low salaries constitute menace
to the administration of justice. In
filling judgeships the field of choce
is often limited by the salaries Of
fered In the profession of law the
rewards for competent men are high
and, therefore, it becomes necessary
to offer liberal calaries in most cases
in order to attract the type Of men
who ought to serve the courts Of
the United States. 1T seems a danger
Gus and short-sighted policy to jeo-
pardize our judicial structure by adj
herring to salary standards that de-
ter highly qualified men from ac-
cepting appointments in the judiciary.
''The problem is not merely ques-
tion of retaining present Judicial
personnel Looking to the future we
should build a tradition for the
judiciary that will induce the best
men in the profession to plan defi-
nitely for careers as judges Such
inducements must include assurance
of salaries that will adequately care
for the economic needs of judges
and their families, and will provide
educational and social opportunities
that will constitute a full and salts
flying life such as these men would
expect to enjoy as lawyers privately
practicing their professions.
'This subject has received the at
tention of many organizations rep
resenting the best thought in Amer
lea. BY fixing the compensation OF
our judges at an adequate figure
great deal will be accomplished
toward the establishment of the in
dependence of our courts which will
mean a further safeguarding of Re
rights of citizens and of American
institutions"
