In addition, he said, a municipal research department, established under proper condi- tions, has the power to obtain the facts of city operations in spite of possible opposition. FFe added that his department had not found it necessary to use this power. MT Posey also pointed out that munic- ipal officials welcome the oppor- tunity to consult the research department over their problems ''The recommendations made by a research department are submitted to the various departments for study and action. Since those recommendations are official, they cannot be neglected or ignored. An officials research department brings action" the speaker declar- ed. He emphasized the importance. of trained, non-partisan personnel, both in the research department and throughout the administration of municipal governments, as the only means of securing real .effi- iciency in operations.
 Since the establishment of Hart ford's municipal research depart- ment on April g, 1884, with an appropri tion of $10,000, it has drawn up a new coal contract for the city, more equitable to both city and dealers than the old. has secured data which enabled the city to obtain an increased share of federal relief funds, and has surveyed the street. health. and police departments, making rec- ommendations for each, MT Posey said. Recommendations already reported would, if put into effect, bring about savings estimated at $340,000 year, plus $15,000 in general tax relief. he declared. Al- though some have not been adopt ed. and others are awaiting final action. enough have been accepted to realize "a clear saving to the city of $37,000 a year." and met tax savings realized already would pay the cost of the research de- partment many times over" Not ore of these recommendation cripples service nor hides away costs to be met in future years" re declared.

ing as the white sails tore into the wind. Rainbow hit the starting mark 25 seconds after the signal went down and Endeavour was 45 second behind her.
 Five minutes after the start Vanderbilt had worked Rainbow into a lead of at least five boat lenghts. The defender was footing over the broken water like a scared rabbit, a beautiful sight as her sails careened into the rising wind.
 Rainbow worked so. rapidly to weather that at 11:55 a. m., she held what appeared to be lead of approximately 300 yards.
 The boats were heeling far ovei as they raced through the rolling seas with no apparent change ir positions. Waters were breaking fiercely over the. bows, the long blue nose of the Britisher cutting into the waves. Rainbow, with a less pointed prov, rode slightly higher.
 They were scooting over the wave at a fast clip, l;ainbow beat ing ahead to windwarG and Sop with nosing after her.
 At 12:10 Endeavour began to pick up slightly. She appeared to be footing faster and pointing higher into the wind. Rainbow was no longer drawing away from the Britisher. Both slOops were sailing beautifully.
 The Yacht Norsaga, running with the contenders, was hitting about 12 knots and barely able to keep up with the racing boats. Both boats were heeled over so far their rails were awash. Endeavour still to leeward but driving up rapidly. It was a stirring battle.
 Endcayour swung over on star board hitch at 12:12 p. m., and Rainbow followed almost imme- diately. The Vanderbilt boat was still ahead but further to wind- ward, which delayed her man. euver.

On WindshieIds

Attention Of motorists is again
called by Frank Oswalt. captain Of
the highway patrol TO the state
law which prohibits the pasting of
stickers on windshields Of automo-
biles. This law, according to OsWalt,
states that sticKers are allowed on
ly on the lower right hand corner
Of the windshield in order that
they might not prove an obstacle
to clear vision for the drivers.
He stated further that these
stickers are not allowed to be plac-
ed on any other window of the car
and no place on the front pane eX-
cepting in the prescribed corner.
Even there, he said, stickers OF TOO
great size are not permitted.
In this respect Oswalt asks the
cooperation Of all motorists as this
law is not intended TO cause them
trouble but for their own protection.
The traffic captain stated furth-
er that a strict check will be made
by members Of the patrol on de-
fectiye tail lights on motor vehicles
and all motorists are asked to be
sure that the lights on their cars
are in good condition before at

LONGSHORENIENS DISPUTE ENDED
BY DECISION OF ARBITRATORS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13. UH
Hailed by union labor as a "great
victory a decision of the Nation
al Longshoremen S board, arbitra-
ting last summer IS maritime strike,
today awarded Pacific coast long
Shoremen wage increases, a 30-hour
week, and joint control of hiring
halls.
The board appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the strike
which paralyzed west coast ship
ping, caused 10 deaths and led to
the San Francisco general strike,
returning the following recon-
mendationS, which both workers
and employers are pledged to ac-
cept:
l. Workers and employers to OPP
crate hiring halls jointly, with In
ternational LongShoremen' aSSo-
citation dispatchers to be used.
2. Workers TO receive an increase
from IS to 95 cents per hour
straight time and from $1.25 to 81 40
an hour for overtime. Increase re-
troactive to July 81, 1884.
4. A joint board of workers and
employers to be established to con-
troll the hiring halls and select ar
bitrators in case of disputes. The
arbitration board suggests that
the control board be composed of
three meklbers from each side, but
cti he
changed if desired.
On the board which made the
decision were Archbishop Edward
McGrady, assistant secretary of
labor, and o. K. Cushing, San
Francisco attorney.
Cushing did not agree with his
colleagues on the 10-cent hourly
increase for straight time and the
l5-cent increase for overtime He
refused to sign this particular Sec
tion Of the finding but gave his
approval to all others.
The sections covering employ
ment of the longshoremen at the
west coast ports were the most
closely studied when the decision
was distributed. Under the plan
advanced by the board, employers
at ports where hiring halls now are
operated have 20 days within
which to decide whether to contin-
ue the present halls. These ports
are Los Angeles, Portland and Sc
attic. When new halls are to be
opened, they must be ready within
80 days.
Employers and the International
Longshoremen S union will share
the expenses of the halls. There is
to be no discrimination against
non-union men, who will pay a pro
rata share of the expense of MAIN
tanning the hiring places. Employ
