Hartman PLEADS
FOR RELIEF BILL
Public Backing Urged for
President by U. S. Chamber
of Commerce Head.
1y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 28.-Henry
I. Hartman. president of the Cham
ber OF Commerce of the United States,
last night called upon the country ito
let Congress know of its opposition to
the needless extravaganza of paying a
going wage for relief work"
In coming strongly to the support
Of the President in the controversy
over the $488O, 100000 work relief bill
Hartman, one of the most prominent
Of business spokesmen, emphatically
denounced the prevailing wage theory.
If work relief cannot be given in
the way which the President desires"
Hartman said, "it should not be given
at all, and resort should be had to the
dole"
Addresses Bronx Group.
The chamber president announced
his stand in an address before the
Bronx Board of Trade, in which he
cited many indications of business i'm
provement and said IF Government
and business are each patient with
the impatience of the other, there is
ground for real optimism"
THE administration" Hartman
said, has requested Congress to ap-
propriate $4,000,0O0 900 for relief pub
lie works for the fiscal year 1856.
In view of the large unexpended bal
ances Of previous appropriations. I am
In favor of a substantial reduction of
this amount.
The administration had planned to
pay a maximum of around $50 a
month to those taken from relief rolls
and put to work. The President said
the wage should not be high enough
to attract workers in private industry.
Work Policy Principles.
The speaker set out these principles
for a work-relief program: The States
are primarily responsible and the
Government should aid only when
absolutely necessary; relief works
should have recognized Govern
ment or social purpose; the works
should be planned on flexible basis
work should be carried out under con-
tract to maintain private organization.
Hartman did not state the amount
he believed was necessary for work
relief, but the chamber has pre-
viously recommended it be cut in
half, in view of the availability of
other Government funds.
1.-The President had earlier stated
be hoped to bring about balanced
budget in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1886" Hartman said. He now
forecasts a deficit for that year of
$4,000, 900, 900. As, however, I examine
the budget. am forced to the belief
that the President is playing safe
and that the actual deficit may we'll
be less than that estimated in the
budget"

YOUTH SENTENCED

Found Guilty of Holding Up Uniformed POliCe=
  man

One youth went to the Cheshire reformatory and another was given suspended reformatory sentence and placed on probation by Judge Frank P. McEvoy .n superior court late yesterday afternoon. Daniel O'Connor, IS, was found guilty of aggravated assault after trial by jury and was sentenced to the reformatory.
 Anthony Bachinski, 19, who was his situation upon being found Judge McEvoy last week, was placed on probation.
 O'Connor's trial started yester- day morning and was completed just before court adjournment last deliberation at 3 o'clock and came in with its guilty verdict 75 min utes later. He was convicted of having held up Patrolman John Denardo who was trying doors in the Boulevard secetion Dec. 18th, and of having taken the officers gun away.
 Judge McEvoy had Bachinski in court chambers for several min- utes yesterday, before the case was called in open court and sentence passed. No mention was made as to whether Bachinski had told the truth about the robbery of the l Tiknis safe at 89 Drayer avenue, < Dec. 3d, during which $6Q0 was stolen. Last week, Judge McEvoy I deferred sentence on Bachinski's case after finding him guilty and said he would give the youth, who comes from New Haven, several ! days to think 1t over and come in to tell the truth.

he refers to the Mexican situation. but I cannot agree with his asser- tion that history is taught in a maner that favors the country par ticularly." pr. Condon said.
 He said 1t was his opinion that the country's history, such as the story of Washington and the cherry tree, should not be deleted from history books in the elemen- tary schools.
 Although such accounts might be considered almost in the nature of fairy tales, they certainly have their part in the esta ablishment of wholesome ideals among the younger children" pr. Condon said.
 In connection with historical events in which the actions of the United States might be considered questionable. he pointed out that very few adult Americans were in any doubt as to the mistakes made by the government in its foreign policy in the past.

Motor Vehicle Owners
 Favor Fee Reduction
Bill Submitted By Representative Thoms Meets With
 Statewide Endorsement Owners Here

Nearly eight thousand Water bury motor vehicle owners will benefit if the bill now pending be- fore the legislature calling for a fifty per cent reduction in auto registration fees passes. The meas ure was introduced by Representa- tive John D. Thoms of this city. minority leader of, the house. Des- pite the fact that the bill is less than a week old it has already brought forth favorable opinions from persons throughout the state.
 Representatives Thoms stated to- day that~he is busy at the present time preparing charts and other data to show the reduction in registration fees would be bene- fit to the motor vehicle owners and, at the same time, no harm to the state.
 There are almost 5000 auto owners in Waterbury. About sew ently per cent of them operate pas- sengers cars. The remaining 30 per cent are owners of trucks. The Thoms bill calls for q reduction for both business and pleasure.
 State Fees High.
 Motor vehicle dealers are ex- pected to get behind the bill as ts passage will, 1t is believed, serve to stimulate sales. Connecticut's registration fees are very high compared with other states, it is claimed. Data from other states will be offered in support of the bill by Representative Thoms.
 / Between Mayor Frank Hayes and Representative Thoms the auto owners of Waterbury are being taken care of in fine fashion as far as proposed legislation is concern ed. Acting on the mayors request, Representative Thoms will also sponsor legislation calling for an investigation of the auto liability insurance rates in this city. The rates. according to Mayor Hayes, are too high as compared with other cities and towns of Connec- ticut.
 Of course the bill reducing reg istration fees will pertain to the state as whole. A date for fl hearing on the bill will be set soon. It Is expected that the hearing will be largely attended as interest in the Thoms bill is growing daily.

 Washington, D. C., Jan 23.--Act. ing upon the complaint of the Wa terbury Builders association, Sem ator Lonergan Is scheduled to for- ward to the president a protest of many builders against the pro- posed $4,0O0, ,O0o. 900 building and work relief program of the admin istration, it was announced at his office.
 Many letters and telegrams from various building organizations have come to Lonergan's attentina, in which the senders contend tha: the presidents program docs not call for contract basis on whici; the building generally is to be per- formed, 1t was said.
 The gist of their protests is that labor used under the former CWA. and under the present PWA. is day labor. and Is not as efficient as contracted labor. It is also less accurate and speedy, the or- ganized builders charge, 1t was said.
 Senator Lonergan, when asked what he was going to do about the matter, replied: "Fll take it right to headquarters, to the White House."
 Agitation about the matter is prevalent in many places, and many other senators are swamped with mail protesting against the proposed use of day labor In the $4,00O ,00O, 900 program of the ad- ministration.
 Local Interest
 Drafted by Thomas r. Moran, secretary of the Waterbury Build CTS Exchange, the petition protest ing against the governments four billion dollar public works pro- gram, was sent to Senator Loher- gan, and all other Connecticut rep resentatives in congress last Satur- day as the result of sentiment ex- pressed at a meeting held in the Chamber of Commerce building the previous night.
 Local builders are particula, ly interested in the rural rehabilita- tion program under which persons on relief in this vicinity with farm ing experience would be given homestt . Is on land on which the government has already taken op- tio as in the Naugatuck valley.
 Project Delayed
 The sum of. $100,0O0 has been ear.marked by the state for the initial venture, which it is believed would be in the immediate vicinity of this city, but failure of the gem eral assembly to pass required legislation on the establishment of a corporation to handle the funds has delayed the project.
 A published declaration by the state emergency relief commission thath the work would be done by workmen now on relief in order that costs might be kept as low as possible was directly responsible for the action taken by local builders. Under the proposed plan of the commission, .$2,500 will be spent on each house and outbuildings to be constructed.
