Will It Come To Pass

On June 7 the Waterbury Democrat editorially mentioned the fact that recent activities of Colonel John c. Tilson in this state made him possible candidate for . the gubernatorial nomination on the re- publican ticket. We ventured this sur mise in view of the fact that of recent days he has been speaking before diverse g.o.p clubs and always on the same topic .-the republican party. There is nothing . strange in that to be sure. Colonel Til son is a republican and always has been one, so far as we know.
 But there is something to be said about
 his appearance in the state when he most bmphatically declared following his re- hrement from osfice a few years back
 that he wanted to settle down to a steady law practice in Washington. He seemed

A Book a Day
How a Trough Guy" Touched the Stars

"Round Trip" by Don Tracy. Is one of those novels that are, In the strict sense of the word, mod ern--noveis, that is to say, of . type which was never even at- tempted, in this country, before the present era.
 Such books arc hard-boiled al. most to the point of brutality. They arc outsp0kcn in a way that would have aroused all the Comstocks q decade ago.
 They deal with the> inarticulate folk who never even got into novels In the old days, and, for all their hardnesss they are, at bottom, very tender with them.
 And In my humble opinion they are the most valuable kind of novel that we are producing to-day Round Trip" tells about Bal. timore newspaper photographer a tough kid from tough home. who gets drunk, scorns the ntceties of life, and becomes one of those countless city youngsters who drift along with the tide on the edge of rowdyism, nimless sensualtsts with out e goal and almost without 6 code. ~
 Well, this tough shutter-expert falls in love with q girl who works on his paper, and he marries her. And life becomes an utterly differ- ent proposition for him. He steps from one world into ain- other-from a place close to the gutter to g place close to the stars.
 But it doesn't last. He has a couple of years of 1t; then an auto accident takes away his wife and their youngster. and leaves him on the bottom again. And this simple and unpreten- tious story, telling about this man and his dreams and struggles and disappointments is uncommonly honest and affecting.

Duffy, bishop of Syracuse, Sunday criticized regi- mentation of the youth of the nation. They will become instruments of danger to the future of the nation, he warned.

RN Inited Presa

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The
national labor relations board to-
Gay struck at the heart of the strike
crisis by granting majority employees
the exclusive right to bargain col
lectively with employers.
The decision was an interpreta-
ton of section IA of the recovery
act and came as the most important
affecting the rights of labor since
passage of the act itself. 1t affects
literally hundreds of disputed cases
and clarifies one of the bitterest
points of conflict in the whole new
deal labor scheme.
The board wrote its decision in
the case of the Houde Engineering
Corporation of Buffalo, N. Y, but
will apply it to all future collective
bargaining disputes.
I'VE have concluded" said the
board, that the only Interpretation
of section IA which can give effect
to its purposes is that the repre-
sentatives of the majority shall con-
stitute the exclusive agency for COL
lective bargaining with the en-
ployer."
The ruling reverses the decree of
President Roosevelt, in the automo-
bile strike, that IF there be more
than one group, each bargaining
committee shall have total member

Silk Strikers Only Losers

Majority rule decision of the old
NRA labor board kept the company
union in power in the Indianapolis
Real Silk Hosiery Company case.
1t was held on appeal here that
since the Employees Mutual Benefit
Association at the plant had polled
greater vote than the Amalga-
mated Full Fashioned Hosiery Work
ers Union, the E. M. B. A. was the
only organization empowered off,
cially to represent the workers in
matters of collective bargaining
under Section IA of the NRA code.
In most cases where the old board
stuck by the majority rule, the
A. F. of L. unions won the cleo
tons. The Indianapolis case was
the lone exception and organized
labor continued to fight for the
majority rule when the new national
labor relations board was formed.

HOPE SLIM FOR
GAS CO. BIDS
City'S Prospects Are Dim,
Times Learns From
Banking Houses.

Prospects of the city acquiring the
Citizens Gas Company plant and
property in the near future today
appeared slim.
Although Tuesday is the last day
for submitting propositions for the
purchase of revenue bonds on the
gas company's plant, no definite
proposals as yet have been received
by the city, The Times learned to-
day.
In a statement published July 30,
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan pointed
out that it would be necessary for
the city to raise approximately
81 100000 to enable it to take over
the Citizens Gas Company property,
and said that financial houses would
be invited to submit proposals on
revenue bonds for this purpose.
In lieu of sending out a circular
or prospectus describing the pro-
posed bond issue, copies of the
mayors statement. as clipped from
an indianapolis newspaper, were
mailed to bond houses in other
cities.
1t is understood they were sent
chiefly to financial concerns that
had shown some interest in the
matter three years ago. after the
1881 legislature passed a law author
izing the city utilities district board
TO issue revenue bonds to acquire
the gas property.
Although there have been several
inquiries since Mayor Sullivan issued
his statement. no very promising
ones have been made, and no
definite proposals have been re-
ceived, it was admitted today at
the mayors office.
Earlier. a Times reporter inter-
viewed the presidents of five of the
city's leading banks and the heads
OF seven Indianapolis investment
houses regarding probability of pur-
chasing the bonds.
He received very definite replies.
Investment houses. at least in In
dianapoliS. are not interested in
purchasing revenue bonds on the
Citizens Gas Company as it now is
operated. After paying all operat-
ing expenses and fixed charges, it
showed loss of S87,211 in 1888. and
a loss of SlS,i64 in 1892, according
TO annual reports of the company
filed with the public service COM
missioner.
One securities dealer put the mat
ter quite bluntly.
Unless by some magic way the
city can show that the gas plant ac-
tually will earn money, 1 doubt if
there is single proposal or bid in
the mayors Office by Sept. T." he
said.
