RAILROAD PLANS
 YEAR OF SPEED'
New Haven Units PrO- gram of Swift Operation
 to Reach New Heights

For seven years. the railroad has been aiming at a high speed level which ten or fifteen years ago would have been scoffed at as inn possible. The coming year, how ever, will witness the attainment of a speed of operation in passenger service which will enable the New Haven to compete effectively with any other form of transportation, including the airplane.
 Whereas greatly increased speed in any form of transportation has in the past taken place only with a corresponding decrease in riding qualities, the new speed level of New Haven operation will actually bring with it additional comfort through the utilization of equip ment of ultra modern design, Un- like air travel, fast rail operation carries neither the discomforts nor the hazards. V
 The greater steps toward the goal of swift transportation over the rails were taken by the New Haven less than five years ago. One of the first<steps in the program was the replacement of 107-pound main line rail with heavier and sturdier steels of the 130-pound type. This process of replacement has continued year after year, making the road safe fo rswiftly speeding trains. The heavy rali likewise makes for smooth, com fortable traveling.
 Another important move was the purchase by the New Haven of huge passenger locomotives, bigger than any which had been previous Iy used. which werescapable of new high speed. These new demons of speed were introduced both in steam and electric operation.
 New roller-bearing-e equipped de- luxe coaches have also aided the speed of regular trains. this type of equipment reducing friction and increasing riding com fort. Other items which have en- tered the speed program are the third tracking of portions of the main line, enabling faster opera tion with much increased safety: further extension of automatic sig naling; strengthening of bridges; so that marked slackening of speed while traversing them is no longer

Yellow Tag Turkey
 Demand Is Greater
1884 Flock, Produced in Connecticut, Choice Birds;
 Orders Exceeding Thanksgiving Supply

Hartford, Nov. 26-The Yellow Tag Turkey flock for 1884 is ex- pected to be numerically greater than ever before. This is due to the constantly increasing demand by the people for this fine type turkey. It is only in the past five years that Yellow Tag Turkeys have been marketed. These are the choice birds that are produced in Connecticut and the actual number will not be known until the grading is completed. They must come up to stringent requirements imposed by the Connecticut Turkey Pro- ducers' association and enforced by the State Department of Agricul- ture.
 Each Yellow Tag Turkey is ex- amined carefully for plumpness. tenderness, quantity and quality of meat. They must be absolutely free of pin feathers and dressed in a special manner approved by the State Department of Agriculture.
 It is reported that orders for Yellow Tag Turkeys this year are exceeding the supply. Many tur- key producers have already stated that they are over-sold for the Thanksgiving season. Although it is probable that stores will be able to secure a sufficient quantity. 1t is also probable that the Connecticut Turkey Producers association will not be able to fill recorders or late orders for those turkeys carrying

 "Still, as Johns always saying suppose we just have to pay the extra as our part in workin' tor recovery. I'd do it more cheerful ly, though, if I was sure the extra dollar was really going into high CT pay for some shoe-worker, and not just into bigger profits"
 Aren't they going to change this MIRA law this winter ?" asked Ma. "I hear so many of the women at the Home and School League say that prices have gone way up over what higher wages would make them.
 MA SCENTS PROFITEERING
 "I feel sure a rot of these in- dustries have set higher minimum prices than they'd really have to taking advantage of the MIRA to profiteer."
 "Yes," replied Pa Jones. "It'll all have to get a good combing over in Congress this winter, for it all expires next June, anyway. you know, unless it's extended or something. It'll be a big job. I'd just as soon not be in congress trying to do 1t, myself"
 It will be tremendous job. President Roosevelt called the Ma tional Industrial Recovery Act "the most important and far-reaching legislation ever adopted by the American Congress"
 It is the greatest time movement ever made by a free country to get industry to write a set of rules for the game of busi- ness. In 100 per cent regulated countries, business is not a game it is a military maneuver carried on at orders from the higher politi- cal command.

petitive game, the productive ma chinery and the standard of living reached higher. point in this country than in any other.
 But the game got too rough. The players were wearing brass knuckles, allowing no time out for injuries, and allowing too many hidden-ball plays.
 The brass knuckles were knock ing out too many players. The game was too rough. It had to have a new set of rules.
 When MIRA was begun in the summer of 1893, representatives of all industries flocked to Washing ton to draw up new rules. They had always said they could make a fairer and better game of it themselves if everybody could be made to abide by the rules. CODE TASK TREMENDOUS
 So every code contained some rules for minimum pay, shorter hours, and no child labor. It had been impossible to adopt any such rules before, because the antitrust laws forbade competitors to get to- 'gether on such rules = it was thought that eliminated .competi- tion, fostered monopoly.
 So the antitrust laws were prac- tically suspended in the hope that the rules would clean up the game.
 Getting some 500 industries un- der codes in less than a year proved tremendous task, but Gen eral Hugh s. Johnson, administra- tor of the act, did it.
 The first code, cotton textiles. celebrated it's first anniversary by the biggest strike in 10 years. Many of them are barely getting under way.
 It is noble experiment, to give business a chance to wash it's own face.
 PAY OF MANY DROPS
 Since the codes went into effect, some two or three million men have gone back on industrial jobs. Some industries have nearly as

many as in 1929.
 Hourly rates of pay have gone up to 1929 levels in many cases.
 But with hours cut to take on more men, the weekly pay of many at work actually fell, while the cost of living rose. Men at work in many cases found themselves worse off than before the codes be- gan.
 Labor was, bitterly disappointed. Despite the acts guarantee of the right to organize, it found itself opposed by broad backfire of com pany unions.

in years followed, not for higher wages, generally, but "to enforce the MIRA" regarding organization and collective bargaining. FIND FLAWS IN SYSTEM
 Critics, like the Darrow board appointed to pick flaws in the MIRA, found many. Darrow charged and Senator Borah repeats, that codes were being administered by the manufacturers in such way as to drive the little fellow out of business.
 Consumers boards charged that prices were being fixed so that even those who could pay high wages and still sell at cheap prices weren't being allowed to do it, and that the consumer was paying more than the costs added to goods
