Ernest w. Miller, Washington

abandoned the idea of entering
the Congressional race, and may
AGAIN seek the COP. nomina-

to prominent Republican lead

the reports brought back to

 What would have happened if Commissioner Blackall had follow ed less tactful course, we do not know. But we do know this-that the stage was all set for whole sale examination of some thirty four or thirty-five companies dom- iciled in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts-theSe examinations to be conducted in accordance with the recent resolutions of the Ma tional Association of Insurance Commissioners, but not necessarily with the consent of the commis- sioners ill the respective states. While it is almost unbelievable, the fact is that petition for such ac- ton had been signed by about thirty commissioners before John Blackall took the floor. But his fortnight address and his open and frank manner were thoroughly disarming all with the result that when he sat down, it was voted to scratch the Connecticut companies from the list.

The work of State Insurance Com missioner John c. Blackall at the recent meeting of the National Asso- ciation of Insurance Commission CTS at Des Moines, 1a., is praised in an article in the United States In- vestor. Commissioner Blackall is a native of Waterbury and received his early education here.
 The article, by D. Roger Kenney, says that exercise of tact by Com missioner Blackall prevented major discord at the national meeting.
 The article says:
 (Which reminds us of one of the most significant events of the entire convention. It was when the de- bate was at fever heat, with every indication that it was a fight to the bitter end, that Commissions Blackall of Connecticut entered the meeting. Although some pretty di- rect shots were being fired, many of which must have stung rather sharply, be held his peace until his turn came to present his side of the story. And when it did, he made full use of the opportunity. The sooth- ing presence of the worthy com- missioner of Connecticut was felt almost inmediately-and there was no mistaking the fact that the re- spect he has gained country wide for fair dealing and for his knowl- edge of the business was a powerful influence for good. He poured oil or the troubled waters by coolly pro- claiming to the meeting that hi! promise of cooperation was some. thing more than an empty gesture And to back up his words, the com

ADVANCES MARKED RAILROAD DECADE
Powerful Locomotives Are Added to New Haven
 Road in l938

When the year now rapidly draw Ing to its close ends on December 31, the New Haven Railroad will have completed decade, dating back to the late '20's, during which the speed of railroad operation has been in- creased to a greater degree than in any corresponding period in past rail history.
 The year 1888, moreover, has been no exception to the rule, for this year brought into operation on the main line from New Haven to New York six. long, previously used by the road, which are capable of hauling 15-car passenger trains between the two terminals at speeds ranging as high as 80 miles an hour.
 These new electrics for passenger service followed closely on the heels of the ten new streamlined steam locomotives delivered to the New Haven the. preceding year. Together with other additions to the rolling equipment, the huge new motors have made it possible to haul pas Senger trains and freight over the rails today at speeds which were hardly dreamed of before the era of speed took hold in 1928 and 1929.
 During the decade now closing, many minutes have been clipped from passenger train schedules, par ticularly from those schedules gov erning operation on the main lines throughout the system. Streamlining, heavier rail and more powerful lo- comotives have all played ace roles in bringing about the modern op- erating speeds of 1888.
 It was only four years ago, how ever, that the first streamlined train sped into Connecticut to take It's place on the system. Previously in the decade. the advances had been made in other ways. The streamliners,, including the famous Comet which shuttles between Provi- fence and Boston at a mile-a-min- pte speed, made the bigger dents in Me running time.
 At the same time, freight sclIed- ales were being speeded up to the roint whre many main hne train

was being run over the tracks at rates thought fast for passenger trains only few years previous. Here again, the new, massive, roll- ing power houses played their part. The fast, through freights were brought in and with them came the development of the motor truck feeder system to carry freight to main line points for loading onto the Maine Bullet and the Speed Witch. All these arrangements dove- tailed together to make possible overnight delivery of freight between almost any two points on the New Haven system and to many points to the south and west. Thus, the close of 1888 finds both passengers and freight riding faster than ever before.

 The experience of this summer should cause the Legislature to amend the alien fishing law to make a checkup far more effective, he said. It was only through the ap- plications that trace of the aliens was found. he reported. and in many instances this was ineffective.
 The Tax Collector said he received excellent cooperation from the can- neries in making his investigation and in bringing the aliens to trial and operations assured him, he said, that next season they would be more careful in picking their men to come north in the fishing industry Virtu- ally all of the convictions were of fishermen from the Outside, he said.
