PATRICK r. O'NEARA

Patrick r. O'Meara, president of the Connecticut Federation of La bor, was an outstanding labor fig nre in New England. and of a type which merited the confidence of the public.
 It will be remembered that two years ago, when the annual federa- ton convention was held in New Britain, he made a sensational an- nouncement that attracted attention throughout the country. He said he had discovered two admitted Bol- sheVists or Reds had gained access 10 the convention but that he had quietly and effectively put them out without a hubbub, and had ordered them to quit fooling with the con- ventiou.
 Legislative lawmakers invariably consulted O'Meara regarding labor legislation. The last notable instance was during the last session when the compensation law was tinkcred with. What at first looked like q stalemate was amicably smoothed after a few conferences and both sides were s,atjSfjpI
 His passing will be universally re- gretted.

sustained in the regions affected has been tremendous. not only ill the coal industry directly, but by business in general. The eyictionS from homes have been inhuman, and only tolerated by a complacent society because it has resulted from the result of | strike. When people lose their homes following q flood, tornado or similar disaster. public sympathy is widespread and relief funds materialize quickly. When the same thing occurs as the result of strike the tendency is to say the strike should not have taken place and the women and children who have nothing to do with it in the first place are left to suffer.
 One of the Presidents notions is that he should have more presiden- tial authority to deal with such strikes. If the conference tomorrow fails he will have increased ammu- hilton with which to appeal to Con- gress on behalf of his desire for more strike power. And the chances are he will get it,
 If the interests involved know on which side their bread is buttered they will agree to end the strike by Christmas.

TRYING TO END \ COAL STRIKE.

Public opinion undeniably IS with the president in his effort 10 end the bitumnous coal strike in Ohio, Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. The conference of coal operators and union leaders called by Secretary of Labor James J. Da- wis, at the suggestion of President Coolidge, which will be held In Washington tomorrow. can, if both sides show tendency to be fair. result in a resumption Of coal min ing. If neither side shows any such intention the strike, Of course, will continue It is likely, however. that neither side can risk the good will of tho public, or the effects of pub lie opinion, although at least one operator was quoted immediately as being opposed to such a gathering.

SIDEWALKS ALONG ROADS STATES NEW METHOD

John A. Macd onald, state high way commissioner, evidently has taken note of frequent complaints that pedestrians have no place to walk in safety along many of the state roads
 Some would say there are no pc destrians along the highways. These are in error. Farmers and their folk are compelled to walk along the highways when they visit neighbor- ing farms on errands, children walk along them when going to a nearby school, hikers use them, and resi- dents of villages take frequent walk ing trips along the nearby roads when they tire of riding in automo- piles. Moreover, the public has a right to "pedestrianize" when 1t wishes.
 There is no law against walking
  on the highways. Pedestrians have as much legal right upon them as the automobiles; but this legal right does no one any good when a case is manufactured for a medical ex- aniner.
 The state-or the highway con- missioncr-is taking cognizance of these facts in the construction of a new turnpike between Devon and Seven Gables Inn. The Bridgeport turnpike will be 50 feet wide and have a gravel sidewalk five feet wide or each side.
 This is, to quote an old and ef- fective expressions, right and pro- per" It will please the autoists and also the pedestrians. It is a plan that should be developed along all state roads.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-12

A. Highways in the U. s. total approximately 3 million miles. The federal and state governments have improved about 7S3,000 miles leav- ing more than million miles unm- proved and only partially graded.
 Q. When was the first census in the world taken and when did the United States start taking the cen- sus?
 A. The first record of Q census is in the Bible in the book of Num- bers: Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of 1s- rael, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names every male by their polls; from twenty years old forth to war in Israel" The first census in the U. S. was in 179o. It filled 56 pages in a book 8 by inches, cost 44.S772S and gave the population at 3,S93,635 of which 694.2S0 were slaves. In 1920 the \tHohS icPoit llIltL IT NOiulIlts, Soii" taining 12,496 pages, 12 by inches, cost s2S, ,o00 and gave the popu- lation at 1O5.71o,62o.
 Q. What is duck billed platy- pus"?
 A. One of the most primitive mammals known to science and one of the strangest of Australia's queer animals. It is covered with fur like q beaver, has webbed feet and a flat bill like a duck, suckles it's young and lays eggs. Like the beaver the platypus is so wary that it is seldom seen in a wild state. It bur rows into stream banks from below the water line, then digs out apart ments in the dry ground higher up. In these burrows it hatches it's eggs
 Q. How many persons are em- ployed in the border patrol of the service?
 A. The authorized force for 1927 consisted of one supervisor. assis- tant superintendents, 30 chief patrol inspectors, ITO senior patrol inspec- tors, 537 patrol inspectors. 24 clerks, 1 motor mechanics and laborers; a total of 7S1.
 c. At the close of the World War did the United States owe a debt to any foreign nation?
 A, No.

CHILD WELFARE THROUGH SCHOOLS

The child who attends school is looked after and made happy and watched, examined, investigated, looked after and made happy and healthy if possible to an extent un- dreamed of a generation ago.
 The ancient idea that the schools existed merely to yield an education and that the personal habits, ap- pearance. health and general con- dition of those attending was no business of the state or city has long ago been exploded. We have found that impinging education upon an unhealthy body is quite useless; that 1t is the duty of the state or city to make it's influence for he good of the children felt in divers ways, and that the best kind of children 10 grow up into the best type of future citizens is the heal thy and properly cared for type.
 Thus We peep down their throats, examine their noStrls, look into their ears, test their eyesight, give them the medical once-o over in "vry conceivable fashion. Those who are unhealthy are discovered, and the amount of illness that is pre- vented from being communicated to other children is incalculabl3 be- cause impossible Of actual detcrmin- mion,
 The latest report made to ths board of education had 1t that there were 249 poorly nourishe1 children in the public schools, anI that l7 were forced to absent themselve be- cause of lack Of adequate clothing. The latter is a point regarding which all welfare institutions in the city should take cognizance. Pro- per clothing must be furnished, that the children can gain that which the city so adequately furnishes for their present and future well-bcing.

THE STATES QUEER GUEST LAW"

Suppose you have a guest at your house, You try to make things pleasant for him. But in closing a door between rooms you accidental ly slam it in his face, breaking his glasses and cutting his eye, injur- ing his eyesight.
 You did not intend 10 injure your guest but you exercised poor judge ment in not seeing that nobody was trying to pass through the door be- fore you closed it, Doctors bills cost. your guest, say, $500: and then there is the permanent injury 10 the eye. Guest or no guest. you probab- ly would be sued and the guest would have q good chance to re- cover damages.
 If, however, yoh have .. guest in your automobile in this state, you can slam tho automobile door with out first looking whether the guest has his hands where one or the other will not be crushed. You can maim him for life, and as long as you do not do it Intentionally you are free from being sued. At least, that is the meaning of the law passed by the last general assemb- ly, which specifics that no guest passenger in an automobile, in- jured during it's operation, shall have a cause for legal action un- less the accident was intentional"
 The law might be entirely uncon- stitutional; in the opinion of many lawyers, it will be found so if tested in the upper courts. Meanwhile, however. 1t stands. It is said the in- surance companies had hand in it's passag sage-something easy to believe, as the poor insurance companies doubtless have been suffering some- what from guest" lawsuits.
