RUBBER IN NEW ENGLAND

Something is happening in the New England rubber industry and what is under way is not exactly likely to benefit New England.
 The L. S. Rubber Company will concentrate it's entire business in Detroit which includes the closing down of the Hartford factory of the concern at an early date. Even New York City will feel the result of the changes under consideration, as the entire executive, sales and office staffs will be moved from the me- tropolis to Detroit. That will not make much difference to New York, however.
 The effect upon Hartford will ge to add to the number of unskilled laborers in the city; and the market for unskilled yabor is already gIut- ted. But the company promises to deal with this problem in the same manner it dealt with a similar prob lem following the closing of it's foot plants at New Haven, Conn.,, and at Melrose, Mass, This policy was de- scrHbed as liberal" What this mneas will be awaited with interest in Hartford.
 it is gratifying that the state will continue to be an important field of operation for the company. Foot wear manufacture has been concen- trated at Naugatuck, where chemi- cal and rubber reclaimeing plants ot the company are also located, and rubber footwear was first manufac- tured in the United States. The company also has plants at Water bury and Sandy Hook.
 Almost simultaneously comes the information from Boston that the Goodrich Rubber Company of Ak. ron, O., is obtaining control of the Hood Rubber Company, which ha, an enormous plant in Watertown ] Mass. This plant, the largest rubber ] plant in New England, employs nor, than 10000 persons. A merger sucl as this is more likely to help Akron O., than it will help Watertown which is in the metropolitan distric of Boston.
 A great deal of effort is being ex ercIscd upon advancing the indus trial outlook in New England. Bu while the talk proceeds the merger continue, and it is a most remark able merger affecting New Eng land plant that really benefits Nev England. At the same time q larp, number of New England concern have been opening branch plants il the West and New England capita is heavily identified with the indus trial expansion in the South.
 Whats the matter, anyway? l New England actually played out o doesn't 1t matter?,

Public thanks ought to go to Buell. B. Bassette for rendering the most interesting account of how Arch street got it's name. The story is one well worth inclusion in the scrap books of such citizens who maintain them for purposes of retaining ac- counts of local history. And the hope is here expressed that if MT. Bas- sette can enlighten us on other pe- culiarities of local history he can be assured that his audience will be large and enthusiastic.

THE MOUNT CASE ENDS

SuPefnumerafy OfflCer Harry Mount had a fairly good case in the estimation of some citizens with whom we have spoken until he be- gan talking about not having been given police jobs. It was quickly and conclusiyely shown that inasmuch as the upernumerary worked ill factory he could not do street duty by day nor do all-night duty in the evening. Nobody would expect a fac tory man to be able to do other su- pernumerary police work than exact ly the kind that ex-Officer Mount performed.
 The entire business-this thing of giving such an incident eXtraordi- nary wide publcity-resulted from the tiff with the mayor. Regardless of the merits of the original conten- ton between the mayor and the of ficer the controversy could have been oiled up to a satisfactory con- clusion had there not been matter of individual principle involved, or what passed for principle.
 The controversy ends with Mn Mount having the sympathy of his friends and many people who never voted for the mayor anyway, while others who voted for the mayor and continue to like the able manner in which he looks after civic affairs agree that the mayor is no man 10 insult under any circumstances.
 If there is any satisfaction in it for Mr. Mount it must be that he has been the subject of more dis cussion than any officer on the force ever got before him. And there is something to regret that a man who has been identified with the ! police department for % years finds himself in a jam at this late day and is Invested of his position.
 The mayors letter to the board went more than half way toward the poHe3m9n and actually suggested 1 that if he be retained on the force the mayor would be satisfied in view of the publicity given the case and the consequent unlikelihood that a similar mistake would be made in the future The mayor, however, did pot presume 10 tell the board what action 10 take and the board felt the officer had been given every consid- oratiou and that discipline required that he he dropped from the force.
 Tho letter of the mayor clearly in dicates there has been no yjrdictive- l Eoss from the chief executive. As the mayor has always had a reputation Of being sympathetic to citizens who labor and are not numbered among the elite Of finance he evidently did not find it difficult 10 say a kind word for the officer in spite of the past.

The counterfeit five dollar bills which have popped up in this vicin- ity have been reported almost all over New England. They first were reported in Boston, The gang of counterfeiters seem to be taking staid New Englanders for easy marks. The person who gets hold of a counterfeit bill invariably can- not tell where he got it, or at least, cannot prove where it came from, and hence remains the loser. Just now a careful examination of in- coming money is well worth the time and effort,
