( The special meeting of the Pp- lish-American Political club held Thursday evening in their rooms on Beach avenue were largely at tended. President Stanley Ponata- tosixi was elected delegate to the state convention which will be held in Hartford, Sunday.
 Plans were discussed at the meeting in regard to the coming campaign. A committee of three, Beniamin Kolowasfi, John Goscin- ski and Waddie Czlaplicki were appointed to make canvass of the Polish residents of this town to get them to enroll as voters. The members of the committee have been supplied with application blanks ITO be Made" and x will make every effort to have every Polish resident that Is eligible en- rolled as a voter. ...
 This was the last meeting of the club to be held in the present rooms as it will move to the Mu- sante block on Main. street on next Wednesday. The organization has leased the entire first floor of the Main street block which will give them much larger quarters, than they now have. The regular month ly meeting will be held in their new rooms on next Thursday night at which time several important matters are to be discussed.
 To Hold Inquest
 An inquest into the death of Ar thur Johnson of New Britain who was fatally injured in a fall from an automobile on West Main street. Plymouth, early this month will be held at the town hall next Wednes- day morning at 10 o'clock coroner Samuel A. Herman of Winsted will conduct the inquest.
 Fair Entries
 Although the date of the Terry vile Fair is over four weeks away, September 24th entries have al- ready been received for a few Of the departments. The prospects of this years fair being larger and better than ever before are bright and from present appearances, Terryyille fair should live up to its record of being the largest one day fair to be held in the state.
 Requests for space along the midway continues to be made and it is expected that the midway will be far larger than in past years.
 There will be several free acts of vaudeville to be presented in ad- dition to a concert by the New Departure Band of Bristol and sev- eral special features which are now being arranged.
 Premium lists may be secured from any member of the fair or ganization.
 DisagreeabIe OdOr
 During the past week, many complaints have been heard in re- gards to the odor arising from Burnham Pond which is located at the lower end of Main street. Dur ing the early part of the week, the water was drawn from the pond and the odor arising from the mud hole which was left was unbear- able.

Washington-Amo the many inaccurate or wholly untrue state ments in the Republican National platform, the agricultural plank is glaring example. This plank reads:
 Due to the 1930 tariff act and the agricultural marketing act, 1t can truthfully be stated that the prices received by the American farmer for his wheat, corn, rye. barley, oats, flaxseed, cattle, but ter and many other products, cruel ly low though they are, are higher than the prices received by the farmers of any competing nation for the same products"
 To this plank the St Louis Post Dispatch takes exception and sets forth the facts for its disproof. Quoting the agricultural plank, the Post Dispatch says:
 "Yet, in a publication released only few weeks ago by the De- partment of Commerce, we read: Grain and grain products have for years been among the leading staple exports of the United States are wheat, rye, corn and barley. This at once arouses doubts as to the accuracy of the statement in the platform, for 1t Is a we'll known fact that products are not regularly exported unleAs prices in the importing countries are enough higher to pay transport costs and any tariff duties. On investiga- ton, we find that in almost all of the countries of western Europe prices of grains are higher than in the United States"
 But, in order to meet any pos- sible technicality in the language of the republican platform plank, the Post Dispatch adds:
 Perhaps the platform farmers meant by competing countries not the the countries to which we ex- port grains (although almost all of them are producers of the same grains), but only other exporting countries.
 "Even this dubious interpreta- ton of competing countries" the Post Dispatch continues, does not make the statement true." The paper points out that recent quotations show oats higher in | Winnipeg than in Chicago, corn and oats higher in Buenos Aires IuaH III S1iICdSO, anu WuVdC uiSH-
 CT in many parts of Argentina than at interior points in the Unit
 ed States.
 The Post Dispatch finds that the
 American duty is partially effective
 as to cattle and butter. That is"
 1t says, ''the duty on butter makes
 butter prices at least at some sea-
 sons and in some parts of the
 United States higher than in some
 other countries. But the fact
 that in the nine months ending March. 1892, we exported over a
 million pounds (only slightly less
 than our imports in the same
 period) would show there are
 some countries where the farmers
 get more for their butter than in
 the United States. The same Is true of beef products
 The only. exception noted is on
 fiax-seed, the only one of the eight
 products cited of which there are
 no exports from the United States.
 Considering the broader aspects

of the relations of the American
 farmer to the world market, the
 Post Dispatch declares it is for
 tunate that the statements in the
 republican platform are not true.
 The years of greatest prosperity for our farmers have generally been years when there was a good market abroad continuous ex- porting. means that prices here, must be regularly lower than a. broad, except as the Farm board may use public money to maintain prices artifically, and then dump the surplus abroad" In conclusion, the Post-Dispatch says: "When we recall that about 20 per cent of our wheat crop is ex- ported, that in some years rye ex- ports have run as high as 50 per cent of our crop, that we export about 4 per cent of our corn crop directly, and much more in the form of pork products, we realize the close ties that the American
 farmer has to the rest of the
 world"
 It is the policy of the democratic party to revive the farmers export
 markets.
 It is the policy of the republican party to retain the Smoot- Hawley Tariff act which destroyed the eX- port market.

PACKER FIGHTS
HOG STABILIzING
IN FARM BILL
Industry Would Be Taxed
$500, 900, 900 Yearly,
Probe Group Told.
ByUnitcd press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. 49, The
domestic allotment farm relief plan
would cost the hog packing industry
$500, 100000, Frank A. Hunter, East
st. Louis Gid. packer, told the
house agriculture committee today.
Assailing the relief program as
presented to the committee by or
gained agriculture, the president
of the Hunter Packing Company
said the hog sterilization features
alone would cost the packing in
dustry as much as it cost the gov
eminent to stabilize wheat"
The processing fee on pork prod
ucts to be returned to the producers
as outlined in the parity plan would
constitute IAN exorbitant tax on
food" he said curtailing consump-
ton and rejecting itself in losses
to the producer.
Hog prices must await general
recovery" he said.
Hunter said that as the consumer
has not the purchasing power to abb
sorb the proposed hog tax the pack
ers would be forced to pass the tax
back to the farmer by lowering the
price they would bid for hogs.
He insisted that agriculture can
be improved economically only
through a general business recovery.

PUSH PLAN TO
SHARE WORK
100000 Big Employers Are
Sent Appeals to Join
in Scheme.
BY MAX STERN
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The
share work" movement this
week took on a larger phase when
more than 100000 big employers of
labor received letters from two
Hoover secretaries, inclosing an ap-
peal to join the movement signed
by Chairman Walter c. Teagle of
the national share the-work COM
mittee.
Signing the letter the first of its
kind. are Secretaries Roy Chaplin
of the commerce department and
James Doak of labor.
A QUESTIONABLE, inclosed, asks
employers to tell the labor depart
ment how many workers each has
taken on as the result of this policy
Thus, the administration hopes to
learn the movements success dur
ing the last three months.
Millions Put to Work
The Teagle letter urges American
employers to relieve the present hu-
man suffering by dividing in fair
and reasonable way among more
workers whatever work you have in
each unit or department of your
business"
1t quotes President Herbert Hoo
yer and President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelt as indorsing the plan.
According to Teagle, some $780,
900 men have been put to work
Under the share-work plan, and
some $500 firms are operating it.
Forced to Share Wages
Briefly the plan calls for making
room on pay rolls for the jobless.
Men on the job are forced to share
their wage with the newcomers.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor in
dorses the move as an emergency
necessity, but some labor leaders
have criticised it as a means of
making labor take care of the I'M
employed.
The chief argument in its favor
is that it preserves the morale of
the worker to give him a job, even
a half-job, rather than force him
into the breadline.
