OUR SILVER CUEEE%CY

r the silver dollar is really worth q dollar 1t would surprise US. The price of silver in the United States has declined 70 s6 cents fine ounce, a record low. Only last Ho- samber It averaged 5o cents. and vas 2I.ol in 1920.
 The world IS s.utted with silver. Silver IS almost entirely 3 by product of copper, lead and zinc. So long as the production Of these metals continues the production Of silver will continue Naturally. how ever, losses on silver affect the profits on the production of these metals.
 One might well say that the low price Of silver makes no difference to anybody in land based on the gold standard. l. does. however: lt hurts business at least little. If the price of silver were higher it would enable China, which remains a silver country. 10 purchase more American goods. Exports 10 China have fallen off tremendously.
 r. is not the first time there has been trouble m the silver mark,t. By the Pittman act of 1918 the United States melted down silver

God. Mar, Pestilence


 Editor New Britain Herald:
 In last Thursdays Herald there appeared remarks of one Dr. Carglll 10 the effect that God sent war and pcstilence to keep population down. Now isn't this the most horrid Of beliefs?
 candidly believe that the great est disscrvice religion renders man. E.nd is the persuasion to accept a needless fate without examination of wider possibilities. They accept un- necessary pain as their inevitable lot. They are persuaded that what they are and what they become an alt-Wise Providence has decreed: and they count upon the joys of the ntAt world to compensate for their earthly sufforings. Now. our poverty. our restraints. our infections and in- diEestions, our quarrels and misun- derstandings, all are, as every man Of sense knows, things controllable and removable by concerted hu- man action lt is all a question of education really, whilst human his tCry becomes more and more race between acquiring knowledge and catastrophe. One way 10 kill war is 10 hanish the soldier from public functions and from our history books that have fulsome references 10 the warriors of the past, and Armistice day should be utilized 10 recall not merely the sacrifices Of the glorious dead but that they died because of Europe's barbarism.

ENOUGH OF MERGERS

A plan is on foot 10 modify tho antitrust laws Ina, would permit more mergers.

Married Women on City Payroll

 Great publicity has been given tc
 '"@ welfare work which is being
 ronducted in our city under the
 leadership Of Mayor George A.
 QWElcy, Tn an effort to provide the f poor and needy with necessities of Ife.
 \ large amount of money was appropriated recently for the pur-
 pose Of providing work in the Pub ! Ac Works Department for the un- employed many of whom are heads : Of large families. Efforts in this di- rection are highly commendable I and should be heartily approyedI Of
 by aIL French policeman. school { teachers and other city employees realizing the seriousness Of this un- { employment condition are gcncr- ously cooperating to the extent of contributing a portion of their 1 salary 10 create a fund so that q . happy Christmas might he enjoyed oy many in our city who might otherWis" awake on December 25Ih. and find it just another dark gloomy day Too much credit cannot be aiNcn th-se employees for their splendid aid.
 Now 10 Eet down 10 some cold tac.S. Has Mayor Qui-lvy any idea of the number Of men and women out Of employment in our city" Docs ho think for one minute that only those applying at his office for d. pick and shovel job or for aid from 1he Welfare Department con- stitute the total Of unemployed? On inc contrary We have hundreds of intelligent men and women job free and idle in the City Of New Britain today whose families are badly in need but owing 10 their pride are suffering stoicauy and silently. I ask Mayor Quigley what consideration is being given 10 this rlass ii his program of relief. In the employ Of the city We have many married women holding positions which might well bo given to those who are compelled to help support R family, some cf these married women on the cjty's payroll have hgsnands holding executive posi- tIons in New Britain with salaries which must unqucstionahly be sufi- rlcn' 10 provide for them. There are oascs N here school teachers lifelong residents Of the city are compelled 70 20 out Of town for employment while married women, financially "o." Q drive to school in their eX- r1~siTe automobiles. are favored with the local positions.
 Also, We have on the city'e pay roll persons who do not live in New Britain including school teachers and employees in municipal depart monts none Of whom can he con- . s.d'rcd indispensable Lets face this unemployment condition in an hon. ! est and intelligent manner l. IS only proper that local residents. who . contribute toward paying the taxes |. n"." in New Britain. should be ciy- 1. 1n inc preference over out of town ! people. and ' is bat fair that single . girls or mon with families should . replace these married women in l.
