new EXCITEMENT
MAY KEEP TROOPS
AT STRIKE FRONT
Part of Company L Home; Lead
erS of Truck Strike Arrest
ed, Headquarters Taken

Increased activity on the truck
strike front in Minneapolis Wednes-
day lead friends and relatives here to
believe that it may be weeks, per-
haps months, before Company L
members are free to come home.
1t was even considered possible
Wednesday that members of the
company who were released and ar
rived home Saturday, would be call
ed back for service. An unconfrmed
rumor said some additional troops
had been called.
After being boldly defed by the
strike leaders late Tuesday, troops
surprised strike headquarters shortly
before 4 a. m. Wednesday, took over
the place and arrested several strike
leaders. Attempts to open another
headquarters led to further arrests.
The leaders were confined at a mill
tary stockade at the state fair
grounds where the troops are station
ed. They were charged with holding
a public meeting without a military
permit.
Among the leaders arrested was a
Henry Prank, believed by many here
to be in reality Henry frank, a Min
neapolis truck driver who once lived
here.
Eight hundred national guardsmen
took part in the surprise "attack"
which was carried out without vio-
lence.
Company L received it's first taste
of duty in Minneapolis Friday after
noon when members were called to
patrol city streets. Company L was
scheduled to go on duty at noon Fri
day when the first notice was received
but a later announcement said to be
ready at II a. m. They did not have
time to eat but were sent right out
on duty and those who did not have
money in their pockets went without
food from breakfast time, between a
and a. M, until about p. m.
Each man in the company was is
sued 80 rounds of ammunition, steel
helmets and other war paraphernalla.
All afternoon, by twos, they patrolled
main streets Of the city, preventing
cars from parking in the loop dis
trict. The afternoon passed without
excitement.
Members of Company L who are
still in Minneapolis are: Captain w.
H. Lamberton; First sergeant, Har-
old v. Starr; Sergeant William c.

SOAP PRODUCERS
 ON WAR PATH
Manufacturers OppOs e Farm Interests Relative
 10 Tariff on Oils

-,
 The soap manufacturers of the country, supported by the laundry men and other interests, during the past month turned loose upon con- gress a terrific barrage of propa- ganda against the proposal to place an excise tax upon cocoanut and sesame oil, as proposed by the spokesmen of organized agricul- ture. ..t,...,
 One member of the ways and means committee who voted in fa- vor of the proposed tax on im'- ported oils volunteered the infor- nation that he was receiving about a thousand telegrams an hour from the soap interests, abetted by Chinese laundrymen and others. The soap manufacturers tried to scare congress with the statement that 8 tax on imported oils and tory in the United States.
 For years, the soap manufactur- CTS have had their raw material on the free list, while the duty on soap in the present tariff act ranges between 15 and 30 per cent. Farm leaders assert that it will be un- availing to reduce domestic acre age and production if competing imports, such as cocoanut oil, are allowed to enter the country with out restriction mad free of duty.
 When the ginning season opened. the supply of cottonseed oil on hand was more than sufficient to last for all entire year. yet the inn portations of cocoanut oil during 1883 were greater than ever be- fore.
 Butter and dairy products have been selling at ruinously low prices but the sales of oleomargarine, composed largely of cocoanut oil. during 1893 were far above those of 1892.

Accountants Suggest
 Model Code Setups
National Associations Provision Bans Sales Below
 COst-ApprOval Given By Score of Directors

A standard provision banning sales below cost is in prospect for industrial codes in MIRA boards and business executives throughout the country decide to back up a model clause proposed by special com mittee of the National Association of Cost Accountants.
 The provision, in the porcess of preparation for several months by a group of four of the countrys outstanding cost experts, has been approved by the twenty-five direc- tors of the association. It is the first time, apparently, that any de- gree of accord has been reched by accountants, not in one industry, on the highly controversial subject of below cost sales. The provision is as follows:
 Ut shall be an unfair method of competition for any one coming under the provisions of this code to sell or exchange products or services at a price or upon such terms and conditions as will re- suit in the customer paying less than the fair and reasonable cost, as determined on the basis of q | system of cost accounting to be formulated by the code authority | Cost is defined for this purpose as the sum of materials or mer- chandise at current replacement cost, plus actual wages for direct and indirect labor, plus factory burden distributed on g. basis of utilization of plant facilities for the industry as recommended by the code authority. plus selling, adver- Using, administration, warehousinE transportation, collection and all other costs and expenses involved in sellingfi distributing and deliver ing the merchandise, including in burden or expense allowances for depreciation and or depletion and or obsolescence and or amortiza. tion, computed according to the rates and upon bases acceptable for federal income tax purposes.
 Provided. however, that sales be- low cost may be made to meet the prices of competitors who do not violate the code. Exceptions may be provided for particular indus. tries to govern seconds, dropped lines, etc.

JEWELRY WORKERS HEAR JOHN ECAN
State Labor Secretary Ad= dresses Moose Hall
 Gathering

The alleged discrimination of off, ficials of the Waterbury Clock com- pany toward employees active in or ganizing an union identified with the American Federation of Labor was denounced last evening at a meeting of the local branch of the International Association of Jew elry Workers in Moose hall. State Secretary John J. Egan of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor made the principal address and informed employees of the clock company that the full resources of the national organization were pledged to their success.
 Some criticism was voiced of the failure of the company to reemploy men and women who had played a more or less prominent part in the organization of an association not approved by the company.
 A. J. Hinkleman, president of the union, also addressed the meeting, stating that the question of wages and working hours will be taken up shortly. The regional board of the NRA is expected to give serious consideration to local conditions very shortly.
 An entertainment and dance will be sponsored by the local Jewelry Workers union at Hamilton park on the evening of Febuarry 27th.

OLEDA SCHROTTKY
 HERE WEDNESDAY
Girl Scouts "Play Lady" to Speak at Mattatuck
 Auditorium

Miss Oleda Schrottky, who is popularly known as the "Play Lady" of the Girl Scouts, will be in Waterbury on Wednesday, at which time she will speak at the Matta- tuck Auditorium, 119 West Main street at 7:30 o'clock.
 Officially Miss Schrottky is the drama consultant of the Nation al Girl Scout Field division. While her work often involves the com position and production of plays and pageants in various parts of the country, she enjoys a wide lati- tude in interpreting the routine duties of her position. Miss Schrot- tky believes that almost every child has some natural dramatic talent and should be encouraged to ex- press itself in dramatic writing and action. She is therefore largely re- sponsible for evolving q method of helping children to create and de- velop plays out of the materials suggested by their daily environ ment.
 Miss Schrottky was at one time an instructor in the Dramatic De- partment of Mt Holyoke College. and was later a professional act ress in New York. She has been as- sociated with the Girl Scouts for a number of years, and many charm ing Girl Scout ceremonies are of her own arrangement or compost tion.

EXAM RULES AT

Regulations for Graduate Students Made Up By
 Dr K. J. Purcell

Washington, D. C., Feb. a. Regulations covering the compre- hensive examinations for graduate students in the department of his- tory at the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. C., have just been issued by Dr Richard J.. Purcell, professor co-head of the department.
 A student majoring in history for the masters degree will be ex- pected to evidence a reasonable knowledge of the broad outlines of Ancient, Mariaeval, Modern, Eng fish, American. and Latin Ameri- can History. This written examina- tion will be divided into two parts, each requiring two hours: Ques- tions of detailed nature includ- ing bibliography and methods in the general field indicated by the subject of the masters disserta- ton and questions of a general na- ture in the other fields of history. The examination will be held at three different times, the middle of May, toward the end of the sum- mer session, and if need be, on special occasions.
 "For the doctors degree where history is the major subject. an examination. of three hours will be given to cover the general period of history as indicated by the sub feet of the students doctoral dis sertation to include an intimate, detailed knowledge and actual fa- miliarity with the historical maga- zines, bibliographies, and literature of the particular field. A supple mentary examination of three hours will cover in a more general manner the other fields of history.

tion of cose produce less than the total delivered cost.
 2. The cost accounting ques- tions involving methods of dis tributing overhead, absorbing fixed charges, including interest on in- vestment, and other debatable points, should not be comprehend ed in the code but code should be worked out by the particular code authorities. The question of how to apply sales, administrative and all of the other expenses which are so difficult of apportionment can well be matter to be determined by the industry itself, with govern ment approval, and in all proba- bility, if done uniformly will sub stantially serve the purpose.
 8. The making of this recom- mendation does not imply any opinion as to the practicability or the impracticability of this clause to accomplish either minimum sell ing prices, or cost reduction.
 4. In making this recommen- dation, no consideration has been given either for or against the clause granting exceptions. It is included as Q practical considera- ton in obtaining agreement among all the members of industry rather than as Q justifiable principle 1T theory.
 Mir Knust, president of Hartford chapter, stated that it was not tho intent or desire of the National AS. sociation of Cost Accountants tc dictate a standard or model pro- vision to the MIRA authorities. The purpose of this suggestion is mere ly to propose q standard or model wording expressing the ideas of qualified authorities in the indus trial accounting field which may be used as the basis for the de- velopment of cost provisions for in- dividual industries.
