 LABOR MARKET
Difference of Opinion Over Action of Department
 of Education
TWO SIDES TO QUESTION

There is no doubt about there being two sides to the question dis cussed by the board of education yesterday. According to some who have been heard on the matter there is just as much competition among organists, music teachers, stngers in church and other things not prohibited in the school rules, ias there is among carpenters, plumbers and even ordinary labor CTS.
 The person who makes a living teaching music feels that he loses many patrons because a school teacher takes in pupils, and the same is true with reference to or- ganists, singers, and musicians at public and private entertainments. But the board did not look at it that way. All they did was to pro- hibit teachers from being in com petition with people as clerks in stores, insurance agents, carpent- CTS, plumbers, painters and other general occupations to which peo- pie look to for livelihood and in which it was charged that em- ployes of the school department secured positions during vacation. and some were said to have jobs on the side the year round which lnterferred seriously with young men and women not in the employ of the schools or other department of the city government.
 No matter what way you look at 1t the question has it's two sides,

POLICE HOLD TWO IN RAZOR BATTLE
|CROWDnVC IN THE s PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Not Possible to Give Gen. eral Satisfaction Under s
 Existing Conditions ,.
WANT CHANGES

The discussion at the board of education yesterday had to do largely not with crowding in the grammar schools, but rather with giving teachers more pupils than they handle successfully while there Is ample accommodation both with seats and teachers in other. buildings within a reasonable distance from their homes. When you give a teacher more. pupils than one can attend to, it stands to reason that some and in gen. eral way all are bound to suffer more or less because the teacher cannot give the results expected of her. It is the same in any other line of endeavor; give one too much work and you handicap him to such an extent that a competent willing workman cannot make good, and is frequently made to appear as failure, while as a mat ter of fact the blame rests with those who created the condition.
 Now as in the past, parents have a preference for certain schools and they feel abused when their children are changed to other build ings. It is not possible to regulate this and give general satisfaction. It results in giving some teachers more children than they can han dle while other teachers in nearby schools could tSke care of more than they have.
 The trouble in Waterbury is not due to lack of school accommo- dation. It came about on account of the shifting of population and the large number of children at- tending the private schools. The superintendent of schools and the members of the board are making an effort to meet the condition that confronts them in the best manner possible, but regardless of this there is certain amount of dis satisfaction which is not humanly possible to avoid. There is merit in some cases brought to the board asking that child be allowed to attend certain school, not in the district where the pupils lives, but when favorable action is taken on one petition 1t gives rise to the charge of favoritism and there you are.

.Goss Explains
 Bonus Stand

Congressman E. W. Goss, speak,
 ing last night before the members of the Mems league of Bunker Hill, declared that he backed any
 fair measure in congress designed
 to aid veterans actually injured by
 overseas service or during the war. r The congressman spoke before
 capacity gathering at the Bunker Hill Congregational church. He attacked the methods of present veterans legislation, however, and criticized the actions of certain off,
 cials in favoring the bonus bills to
 get more votes. He praised the that he voted against the bonus twice because he felt that the pay ment of the amount involved to each veteran would not aid their cause. The congressman attacked sec tionalism and bureaucracy in con- gress. "The 72nd Congress of the United States was the title of his talk. At the same meeting officers of the league for the coming year were installed by Fentoh Niver. They include: President, Albert
 Loeffler; vice president, Ralph A. Webb; treasurer, John MacLean;
 assistant secretary, Burger P. Mis-

The two officers after removing covering of sand exfri cated the three tires, two of which are brand new. The tires and the youths were returned to police headquarters to await the formal trial and presentation of evidence.
 According to the police the tires were stripped off a car, which had been left parked on a street in the Washington Hill section of the city. The two suspects were found prowling around the Pearl Lake section Saturday. An hour or two previous to their apprehension they were reported seen toting the tires. They denied having them in their possession, but yesterday changed their minds and led the police to their "hide-away."

Price Rise Seen

Continued Improvement in Sentiment and Stopping of Commodity Declines Looked Upon By Credit Men With Optimism

New York, Sept 13.-"Although there are as yet insufficient fun damental indicators to allow the assertion that business revival has definitely set in, it must be remem- bered that statistical indices do not>reflect on change until correc- tive forces have been in operation for several months" says Henry H.

 "A continued improvement in sentiment, definite indications that the drastic commodity declines have been arrested and in some instances reversed, greater activity in certain lines and return of profit figures in a few scattering in- dustries, may we'll be a foreboding of the slow upward trend" says the credit executive.

attention to the danger which may be wrought by a recurrence of the Po1lyanna type of unreasonable op- timism which was so widespread a few years ago and which persists in refusing to face difficulties. Real optimism is not promoted by blind ness to facts. It is born of a spirit of courage in facing difficulties and intelligent confidence that they can be overcome. It would appear that the end of the detour is in sight, and whether or not we can resume our journey on a paved highway without encountring fur ther detours depends somewhat on the speed at which we travel and upon certain corrective measures that need vet to be taken. Not the least of these is the matter of gov- ernmental expenditures"

Charge Brothers With Cutting Up
 Colored Friend
James and Grafton Boone Under SI ,OOO Bonds Pend- ing Outcome of Injuries AlegedIy Inflicted Upon Vernon Hoffman, Taken to Hospital for Treat- ment


 report shows that Holman is suf- fering from painful decorations, but none are expected to develop seri- ously.
 In police court today Boone and his brother, Grafton, A, were or- dered held under bonds of $1,000 each pending Hollman's recovery. The cases were put over until next Saturday morning.
 Boone was arrested early today by Patrolman Daniel Mecca. The razor used in the alleged assault was found on him. He admitted being in fight with Holman, but has yet to supply any convincing reason for the necessity of using such a dangerous weapon. Holl- man was nicked principally about the arms Boone showed marks of having been nicked on the hand and 1t is evident that he stopped a few blows about the face and head. His brother was cut and bruised. Considerable blood was shed in the fray and the police and doctors are surprised that someone was not seriously injured in the free -for-all.

It is likewise historically true that nor- mally a severe, deflation is followed by recovery that is more rapid than is usually expected.
 Our low inventory figures, our more helpful credit structure, the lesscning of wasteful methods in business, improved banking situa- tion, the abundance of latent buy ing power which still exists in the United States. an dmany other cur rent factors give reason for antici- pating a return to betetr business conditions.

AT MURDER TRIAL
Former Public Defender Not
Questioned on Issues Out
side Direct Testimony.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3O.-Legal
strategy shielded Frank J. Egan, former
public defender, from a soaring cross
examination when he took the stand to
defend himself against a charge of
numbering Mrs. Jessie Scott Hughes. his
friend and client, for monetary gain.
The former official, called to the wit
ness chair late yesterday in surprise
move by his attorney, testified briefly
about his movements last April % and
20, the days preceding the killing of
the 59-year-old widow, and stepped
down again after the prosecution had
been overruled in seeking to question
him about matters not mentioned in
his direct examination.
On trial with Albert Tinnin. former
convict, Egan contradicted statements
of Verne Doran key witness for the
State. Doran confessed he and Tinnin
killed Mrs. Hughes on Egan's orders.
l. M. Golden. prosecutor, sought to
question Egan about his alleged f1nan-
cial dealings with Mrs. Hughes, but de-
fense objection thwarted that.
AS his first rebuttal witness Golden
called William W. Haley of Hayward,
Calf, bank cashier in an effort to
show Egan had received more money
from Mrs. Hughes than he had paid out
in her behalf
Earlier in the day Judge Dunno dis
missed Mrs Myra Rand from the jury
after bailiffs and others testified she
was in high nervous condition. This
was done on motion of Golden, who
was criticized last Friday by Mrs. Rand.
who blamed him for what she termed
undue delay in the proceedings. An al
ternate took her place
