HISTORY

Highways in the northwestern section were being laid out at this time, several in the Bucks Hill section. One that went to Bucks Hill began at the clay pits near Grove and Bishop streets, following along to Division street, rods wide at this point, then increased to 20 rods, and continuing this same width to Mrs Pearsalrs, and from there to the east end of Bucks Hill to Richard Welton's house; then it went north to Han COX Brook Meadow. Hancox Brook Meadow was between Mountobe (now Mount Tobe) and Taylor's meditation, which latter place was thought to be the hill around which the New England railroad curved before coming to Tolles station.
 Another road was marked from Obadiah Scott's house lot on the east side of Wigwam Swamp brook to Pine Hole Bars, 4 rods wide (Buck's Hill road to Waterville)" Pine Hole was another name for Waterville. A road beginning at the east end of Bucks Hill was also begun, which ran east, northeast to a great white oak tree that stood at the south end of Benja- min Warmers house lot, and east

Laurence Action.

Washington, Feb 16-The long smoldering fight over rail wages is stirring again.
 Both the big Brotherhoods and the carriers are preparing feverishly behind the scenes for a showdown some time this spring-perhaps as early as March 1. The fight was twice postponed last year under di- rect pressure of the president.
 The railroad moguls, or rather the big banking interests which really dominate the railways of the country, now seem deter minted to go through with their plan to put over a permanent wage cut. Rail workers, who have suffered terrific unemploy- ment and pay cuts the past four years, are preparing for a last ditch fight. A permanent wage slash, Brotherhood leaders say, will mean the beginning of the end for their organizations.
 As an initial offensive measure they have launched strike polls among the 32,OOO workers of six lines: the Delaware & Hudson, Kansas City Southern, Mobile & Ohio, Louisville & Arkansas, Louisiana, Arkansas & Texas, and the Chicago & Northwestern. Pending against these roads arc long lists of grievances, which the workers say the employers have refused to arbitrate.
 In addition to preparing for strike action, union leaders plan to make a direct plea to the

Money Still Handy

The wisdom of the officers of the Mu- tual Aid Unemployment Relief Fund In maintaining such a large balance in the treasury may be brought prominently to the fore, judging by present events. De- mobilization of the huge CWA army seems to be at hand, although funds to keep it going to May are supposed-to have been made available by Congress. There may be some reason for the order from Wash ington that the local CWA force be cut 10 per cent weekly. If so explanations will be forthcoming soon.
 However, in the event that the order goes through, it stands to reason that many of those released from CWA en- ployment will be without work. True, conditions are rapidly becoming better in the industrial field, but whether or not they have reached the point where 2,000 men and women working on relief proj ects can be absorbed is another question. Personally we don't think so, but we may be mistaken. And if they aren't then, they either become wards of the city or drift away from us.
 Undoubtedly Waterbury will not let so many men and women go without work long. The state can't provide the funds to give them employment, so we will natur- ally fall back on the agency that proved so helpful during the early days of the depression = the Mutual Aid. It is still officially in existence, although the volun- tary weekly donations have been discon- tinued. They can easily be renewed if necessity demands it. But at least we are safe in the knowledge that sufficient money is at hand to undertake relief work on as broad scale as was done be- fore federal relief was provided.

Play Ball!

We were glad to read in last nights Waterbury Democrat that the Grammar School Baseball League would be revived this spring. Ten teams will play for the trophy. Reading what Superintendent of Schools Thomas Condon had to say about the revival of this famous old league cer- tainly warmed this writer's heart. There was nothing that provided more school boy rivalry some twenty years ago than the league. And in those days the golf lots were mecca for old and young dur ing the afternoons of May and June when the citizens of today were competing for baseball honors.
 Superintendent Condon adopts differ ent attitude toward sports than good many of our modern educators. He claims that it is an incentive to provide such sports for the boy in grammar school. It makes him keep up in his lessons where stern lectures and paternal advice often fail. By strict enforcement of the rule that no youngster may play ball who is studies teachers and principles have been relieved of an arduous task.
 When the school league disbanded a few years ago we wondered how it could of- fer the excuse that lack of funds caused 1t. There wasn't much money needed 20 years ago to get the league started nor to keep the boys interested in their weekly games. As we remember those contests there were uniforms for all and the proper playing equipment. Certainly if it could be supplied in those days it could today. There are many ways at hand to raise money to finance a school baseball league. We feel sure that all weren't ex- hausted when the league disbanded. Waterbury has too enviable a sport record to have it said she couldn't afford to let her youngsters enjoy a legitimate means of letting off boyish energy.

William Travers Jerome

William Travers Jerome, whose death in New York city Tuesday occasioned nationwide regret, was one man who might aptly be described as the arch enemy of crime. There have been able prosecutors in the history of the United States. We could not begin to list them to speak of their ability to bring criminals to justice. But suffice it to say that in the last thirty years this nation has not known more vigilant nor active agent of the law than William Travers Jerome.
 He was notable for many things. Fore most, of course, was his continuous ex- pose of Tammany scandals in New York. Next to that might be ranked his famous personal raid of Dick Canfelds gambling house or his prosecution of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. But there are so many high lights in his life of action that it is almost foolish to place one above the other. And at that he only spent eight years as District At torney in New York, 1902 to 1910
 He lived to see Tammany really crushed and aided bit in it when he raised his voice last fall for the candidacy of Mayor Fiorella LeGuardia. But of re- cent years his had been retired life, so far as politics and civic affairs were con- cerned. Still Jerome was not inactive during this period He had been inter- ested for the past 20 years in tn edevelop- ment of colored motion pictures. Before the stock market crash it was reliably es- timated he had amassed fortune of

Pope Plus spoke wisely Tuesday night when he sounded a word of warning to priests of Rome gathered before him to receive their annual Lenten instructions. Among many things that he said were the following, Ut is not possible to overlook certain morbid, violent, insidious moves aimed at the -Christianizing of the world and driving it back to pagan ism. D Any man who has the welfare of the world at heart might have said the above. There are in our midst today forces that if given leeway would ruin all civilization and set us back the many cen- turies we have progressed. Surely en- frightened peoples are not going to sacri- flee precious heritage to the unbelievers, of their weird theories.

Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, gave out some pertinent advice in New York the other day. She said, "Now is the time for the shoemaker to stick to his last, for the manufacturer, merchant, and all employers of labor to devote themselves to the sound and careful development of their particular business and not be fooled by the delusion of easy money. Specula- tion in their stocks or others takes the mind off the art and science of manage ment and puts man out of the useful business leader class, who is needed and rewarded It is time when employers as we'll as workers who have been long trained to this science ought to give their best in the work they are doing, so that they and the people of the whole nation may be restored to balanced prosperity as soon as possible. =" Truer words were never uttered.

Madrid Letter
BY LESTER ZIFFREN United Press Staff COrrespondent)

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 Madrid, (UP)-The Rightist proposal of a dole for the 64O,O0O unemployed Spaniards, and refor- estration camps similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps of President Roosevelt seems doomed to partial realization in an unem- ployment relief bill sponsored by the Lerroux government or disap- pearance altogether.
 The government, following the submission of the Rights proposal to the Cortes, announced that Minister of Labor Jose Estadella was preparing an unemployment project which will replace all other similar bills.
 So far the governemnt plan has not been revealed but it was an- nounced that it will include the floating of a loan of 1,000,000,0O0 pesetas approximately $130, ,OOO,- O0O) destined for public works to provide employment for the job less.
 The Rights proposal was intro- duced by Jose Maria Gil Robles young leader of the Popular Ac- ton (Catholic) Party. He sug- gested a permanent system of un- employment insurance to which workers would contribute 1.5 per cent of their wages, employers 9 per cent, and the state 50 per cent of the amount paid jointly by workers and employers. To start off the fund loan of 100,000,000 pesetas Approximately $13,OOO,- O00) would be floated. The Rights estimated that with this sum 3,O00,000 persons could be insured.
 Persons eligible for emergency aid, according to the Rights bill would be all unemployed between the ages of 16 and 65 whose last wages were less than 6,0O0 pesetas Approximately $800) annually. This small amount is used be- cause, according to the Rights, it is felt that persons who had larger wages than the above could have ssaved money to tide them over until their next job.
 The normal dole would be 60 per cent of the salary. Married workers might have an increase to S0eper cent, for 8 maximum pefi-. cd of 30 weeks of unemployment.
 The bill would create "crisis fund" to supplement the insur- ance. The state would contribute 1O,000,000 pesetas ($1,300,000), the municipalities 1 per cent of their budgets, and the provinces 2 per cent of their budgets.
 Workers who are not eligible for insurance or who have not suc- ceeded in getting work on special public works would be eligible to joint "volunteer work teams" either in "open camps or inside buildings" If possible. workers living near the scene of the job would be permitted to sleep at home. All would receive food ac- commodations, and thero would be facilities for physical. intel lectual, and moral education"
 Gil Robles pointed out that the volunteer workers could be ems ployed in tfasless zones th0roby auRmentlng and conserving nat- ural resources, particularly for.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
A Farmer Fights The Factory Era

In the novel, Glass" Howard Stephenson goes back to the time when the middle west was begin ming to change from a purely agri- cultural community to a great workshop.
 This change, which began some- where after the Civil war period, caused nothing less than a revolu- tion in the social organization of that part of the country.
 It has been discussed in a good many novels, and it will be dis cused in a good many more. MT Stephenson's book is a worthy member of a long succession.
 His central character is a farm CT, George Rood, who tills his acres in a section of Ohio where vast pockets of natural gas just have been discovered. His neighbors are eager to cash in on the new wealth which underlies their farms.
 Wells are sunk in almost every pasture and wheat field. With the supply of natural gas as base, a ne windustry arises-the making of glass. Almost overnight, Rood's community switches from agricul- ture to. .industrialism.
 But Rood refuses to change. He fels that the attenuation has done more harm than good. Honest farmers have been ruined by sud. den wealth; a rich and lovely countryside has been disfigured by spraWling factory towns.
 He clings to the old ways, per- mits no wells to be sunk on his farm, insists on setting his face against the memorable tides of change.
 And then his son grows up. Despite the fathers wishes, the son is all eagerness to work in the glass factories. He leaves the farm, gets a factory job-and the old man is licked, in spite of himself, by rising industrialism.

Williams joins the list of colleges that have dropped Latin as a compulsory sub- ject. We are sorry to learn this. Still there is some consolation in the fact that the Williams requirements still include at least three years of preparatory Latin. There are still any number of large col leges and universities that remain loyal to the classics. We hope they always will, for we feel that this trend away from them is only short-lived.

Senator Lonergan seems to be enjoy ing his heyday with all eyes turned on him. The administration is noticing him and Postmaster General Farley is said to be in doubt as to how to handle him. Until the squabble in Washington is settled, the present silence which has spread over democratic activity may con tinue, and in the meantime, leaders whose interests are mutual are preparing for the next step. The result may be new division in the party with some former new guarders joining Lonergan and the old guard in the hope of forcing the gov ernor to come to terms with them or face a convention fight more serious than that of 1882. ."-Hartford Times.
