 Mayor A. w. Simonson of Pep per Pike, to whom the youthful law student related the story of the shooting, was at a loss to ex- plain Metling's conduct in ap- preaching the couples car. The farmer had no official status in the suburban village, the mayor said, and was without authority to ques- tion motorists. He lived about three miles from the scene of the shooting.

Children under IA years of age will not be employed in the tobacco fields of this state and Massachu- setts when the weed is harvested this fall because of voluntary agreement entered into by 95 per cent of the growers.
 Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone gets the credit for this long desired health and humane im- provement in labor conditions in the tobacco fields.
 Hearing on a bil introduced by Representative Michael W. Hulli- van of Enfield will be held in Hart ford this week, but whether or not 1t passes the voluntary agreement will protect children in the tobacco fields.
 For many years social workers and social minded citizens have deplored conditions in the local tobacco fields. Children worked long hours gathering the weed, were herded in trucks which car- ried them to and from the fields and the pay they received for the ack-breaking work was small.
 Tobacco men while they did not enjoy the role of slave drivers of young children reasoned that be- cause of economic conditions they could not afford to hire adult labor for this work.
 If one or several growers were to discard the evil custom of em- ploying children and put adults to work at higher pay, they would have been at an economic disad- vantage with others who continued to use children.
 The one way out of the dilemma was to have all local tobacco grow CTS agree to ban the labor of boys and girls in the fields. But how to accomplish this desired end?
 Recently Commissioner Tone and Labor Commissioner Edwin Smith of Massachusetts,, newspaper man, formerly employed by the Hartford "Times," made a trip of investigation of tobacco fields in this state and Massachusetts. Tobacco growers were interviewed and the ground work for future action laid.
 This trip was followed by a meet ing in Hartford of representatives of both labor departments and the tobacco growers. At this meeting were the following:
 Tone and Smith, Walter J. Couper and William Fitzgerald, deputies in the state labor office. Jeanette Studley of the Consumers league. Helen Wood, investigator for Tone and Margaret Weisman of Boston; also B. T. Sanford of Tariffville, representing the Amer ican Sumatra Tobacco Corp; Harry L. Hale, Portland, of c. K. & H. T. Hale. Inc; D. Kaffenburgh, 801 Windsor street Hartford, of the Kershel-Kaffenburgh Tobacco Go; John W. Gallant, Southwick. Mass, of Hathaway Steane, Inc; Willard

It is al- legged that the defendants's truck came too close to the side walk.
 H. c. Stills brings suit for $5O00 damages against the Standard Oil Co. alleging ,breach of contract.

 Perkins, it was announced, as- sumes his new duties immediately. {, Today's session in the great gray granite temple in Wall street that houses the National City Bank was swift and dramatic. With the ses- sion scheduled for a. m., it was less than ten minutes after when the announcement came from the board room.
 Brilliant sunshine of the morn ing touched the peaks of the sky scrapers but had not yet infiltrated the street level of the dark canyon where clerks, brokers and bank employees, pouring from the subway entrances, were still hurrying to work. Outwardly there was no sign that, behind the grey pillared facade of the National City, the greatest banking drama of the de- cade was being enacted.
 Names ofs those present at the meeting were not immediately an- nounced, but directors who had been expected to act on Mitchell's letter of resignation included Floyd Carlisle, chairman of the Consoli- dated Gas Company, Edward A.. Deeds, chairman of the National Cash Register Company, Sosthenes Behn, chairman of the Information al Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, Hugh B. Mitchell, also presi- dent of the National City Company Curtis ,E. Calder, president of the American and Foreign Power Company, Cleveland B. Dodge. vice-president of Phelps Dodge, Gayer c.
