 Never" said the speaker, "men- ton the word police to @ native of the Soviet Union, for there are no police in that country. This function of society is filled by the National Guard, body of men trained by the government to inaif1- tain peace and order. It is not the aim of the National Guard to make arrests" Mir. Taylor cited an example of Q worker, the worse for a few extra drinks of vodka re- turning late at night on the main street, singing loudly because he was happy. The National Guards man stopped him with, "Comrade you are disturbing the peace, there are other comrades who have to get up early to go to work" But the inebriate worker was furious. Said he, Here, leave me alone. This is my country. I can do as like. Leave 20 of mel" By this time crowd of people had gathered around, and the National Guards man, turned to the crowd and said, Comrades what will we do with him. He won't go home, and stop disturbing the peace?" The workers told the N. c. to take the bois- terous one to the N. G. headquar- ters, and there, as he would not give his name, he was locked up for the night, put in 0 clean bed, and given q bath the next morning and fined three roubles for the &C., commodation.

An audience composed mainly of toilers from the factories of Water bury of both sexes filled Russian Hall at i84 Cherry street last night to hear William Taylor of Hartford, who has just returned from the U. 6, s. R., after a fifteen months stay in that country, during which he visited Soviet Russia, not as Q tourist. but as an American indus trialist bent on satisfying his curl Osity at first hand on what was goo ing on amongst the 170,000,0O0 toilers of the Soviet Union.
 It was the second visit of MT. Taylor to the U. s. 8. R., he having accompanied Tom Moneys mother on a briefer visit before her death. MT. Taylor is keen observer, ana has a phenomenal memory of people and events encountered. Sinbad che Sailor never held his guest so interested Ii, relating his wonder, aul adventure MT. Taylor grippeo his audience in recounting his ad- ventures in what he said, the natives call "The Happy Union.
 Toured Country
 He visited the country from US western to It's far eastern borders, Including Siberia, and spent a week with the Red Navy and in the Red Army. He lived with the privates of the army and with the sailors on the warships, so spoke at first hand. sFor," said he, fin fifteen months one can cover a lot of ground"
 He told of seeing the great par Ade in Moscow during the nineteenth anniversary of the october Revolu- ton, and after of sitting in the bar- racks of the soldiers, when the. gen. eral in command who had reviewed the parade came in and sat ooWIi to dinner with the private soldiers and how he had chatted with them about their personal and family ai- fairs. as if he was one of them, just like a comrade amongst comrades obliyious of rank or discipline.
 Workers
 Mir, Taylor spoke for some three hours, and had not yet commenced 10 satisfy the curiosity of his au- tiience. He drew picture Of the liie of the factory worker of the Soviet TJniofl. There he said, a worker was paid two kinds of wages, his weekly salary in roubles, "a Russian rouble as worth about 5l cents), and his social wage, the latter is the care he N entitled to from the govern ment in case of sickness, doctors attendance and if necessary, free hosnitalization.
 From the time that worker en- ters a factory, he becomes the charge of his trade union. That trade union is responsible for his welfare while in the factory. at home. his home surroundings, his domestic welfare and for his health. It ia the duty of his trade union to see that he Is always efficient for his work, by seeing that his en- vironments are such that they do not interfere with that efficiency.
 Al present the worker in Soviet Union factories is rated in cate- eories, explained MT. Taylor. In other words he Is paid according to the value of his labor, those in the higher categories, for example, like skilled mechanics, are paid higher wages than the man who does odd jobs, but 1t Is the aim of the U. S. 6. R., later to pay the worker c living wage, that will enable him to live free from want and clothes and raise his family.

SEABOARD LINES PLANS OPPOSED
Opposition to Merger Was Voiced Yesterday at
 Hearing in Capital

Merger of the Seaboard Lines of this city with the Keeshin Trans portation company of New York and Chicago, upon which hinges the sale of the large tract of land at the corner of Bank and Meadow streets owned by the Randolph Gloves company, was strenuously opposed in Washington, D. c. yes- terday in Q brief with the federal interstate commerce commission. The Middle Atlantic States Motor Carriers Conference, Ins., entered the brief contending that the Kees- hin concern and the banking house of Lehman Brothers of New York had used a dummy corporation In an effort to avoid terms Of the Ie3S carrier act.
 The act in question placed high- way transportation under the ICC control. Attorneys for the Middle Atlantic combine asserted that they represented 500 motor carriers. The protesting truckers charged that Keeshin and the banking firm had bald s2SO,O00 for control of the seaboard lines late in ie3S before TOO approval and in violation of the 1885 act.
 Under pending plans, if the sea- board and Keeshin combine IS ap- nroved by the ICC the city Of Wa. feFbuFy will become the New ngland terminal for this large firm.

The inspection lanes throughout the state close July Il, which means that after today there are only eight days left for owners to have their cars inspected and approved. Lines of cars ct the lane have been grow. Ing daily as the closing date grows nearer, but even with the increase there apparently will be many local cars uninspected by the 1lth.
 Police Asked
 The Waterbury police department today was asked by Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the Motor Vehicle Department to cooperate in the drive to bring cars to the test- ing lane by the closing date. In Q letter to Police Superintendent Wil- liam J. Reach, the commissioner asks that patrolmen be ordered to remind all motorists whose cars do not bear state inspection stickers to bring their cars to the testing lane immediately.
 In another step to hasten the iTl- Spections, state inspectors have be- gun stopping cars on the highways and giving them quick road tests. If the cars are ct ell defective, their owners are given gurnmonses order ing them to present the cars for inc spection within 24 hours. A number of summonses have been given out in this part of the state, and iaspec. tors will continue the practice all this week.
 Local Delinquents
 Inspector Lumpkin estimated this morning that there are 2,078 cars in the Waterbury district which have not yet been presented for inspection. This number compares with an eSti" mated total number of cars in the district of 2S,0i0.
 Throughout the state, there are some 83,U0O cars that have not been inspected. Thousands of red warn" ing stickers, reminding drivers to have their cars inspected, have been given out about the state, but dur ing the past week or two the warn. ings seem to have been diSregaroeo by many.
 It Is estimated that at peak co. pacity expected during the last few days, 0 total of 5000 cars Q day can be inspected at all lanes. Even at this rate there will be many thou sands of cars that will not be trl- spected. Under the Jaw the motor vehicle commissioner can suspend for 90 days the licenses of those who do not comply with the inspection law. .r,
