Shoreline Parks

There has been a tendency towards seashore parks in the last few years Here in this state we are fortunate in having three exceptionally fine ones. Fairfield County has one of the finest in the making at Sherwood Island, which when completed should compare favor ably with both Rocky Neck and Ham, monassett The latter was unfortunate enough to be severely damaged during last falls hurricane and tidal wave, but with state and federal funds now avail- able for rehabilitation, there is no req son why the resort shouldn't be com pletely restored for the 1889 season.
 The hurricane also centered attention on New London's well-known beach resort and for time 1t seemed as If 1t might eventually be taken over for state park purposes. There are still several plans under consideration for its future development, but we are inclined to be- lieve that New London voters on next Monday will probably decide to have the city develop the site and take chance that eventually 1t will pay for itself Any such resort as Ocean Beach if properly laid out along the lines with which we are gradually becoming familiar today would enhance surrounding real estate values tremendously, not to mention the attraction values.
 In adjoining Rhode Island where the damage along the shore was even worse perhaps than in this state, Westerly ponders the problem of shore develop ment. At this point the state had pro- posed to take over and recondition But townspeople of Westerly don't like the idea of the state getting their beaches and they are objecting strongly on the ground that such acquisition would cut the towns taxable property list at least $50,000. In their instance there may be no expensive rehabilitation program in- volved, but New Londoners have to think about that and undoubtedly will and still feel that Ocean Beach as a city beach is quite desirable. It certainly Is any way you look at 1t.

Locking The Stable Door!

The CIlHulSil Jldy uPOAl 0AAS Ps'A'
 Democratic state leaders to block the confirmation of Cornelius Danaher for Labor Commissioner yesterday in the state Senate was as striking case or locking the stable door after the Dobbin --or in this day and age maybe we should say locking the garage after Lizzie was stolen-as has ever been at- tempted since the old copy-book adages of similar vintage were instituted. They just didn't click. Good old Cornelius Danaher was confirmed by "a we'll deserved handsome majority.
 The joker, however, in the whole futile attempt to upset MT. Danahers apple cart after Governor Baldwin had used such rare good judgment in sending in his name was the belated attempt upon the part of the state Democratic leaders to rally to the support of the present Democratic commissioner, Joseph M Tone who they tossed to the wolves at the state convention over in New London last September. Clever lads these poli- ticians - just like the Chinese.
 Furthermore, if we know Joe Tone, and after eight years of personal ac. quaintance we think we do, he would not have accepted continuance of office in that position under those conditions Jct at least knows his politics and has heart as well. He would no more rob Cornelius Danaher of his newly acquired honor on such sucker play than he would the many impoverished cases that came under his jurisdiction since. the institution of relief in his department. Fie isn't built that way, and furthermore, thanks to his fine stewardship the past eight years doesn't have to. He can con- meet with higher and bigger labor proj- ects tomorrow.
 The laugh, as we said above, Is that the self same boys and even "old Uncle Tobby", himself, who would have no part of him, except his worthwhile campaign speeches. are now on the outside looking in. Thomas HeWes was given prece- dence over him and for that preference Connecticut lost such good old Democrats as Senator Augustine Lonergan, the entire state ticket, which as we said, was partly to blame. Governor Cross, for Instance who could still be up there on the second floor of the Capitol behind his big mahogany desk with his custom ary long cigar enjoying his job immensely Connecticut also lost and will lose later several fine department execu- tives also, John c. Blackall, Insurance Commissioner, and Colonel Michael A. Connor later on, as well as others higher and lower too numerous to mention.
 Now the boys would have Joe Tone pull their chestnuts out of the fire. Well, let them burn, Joe Twice in New Lon don they gave you the run-around. They're doing the ring-around-the-ro now. You have until July to build up your fences, only do 1t yourself next time. And finally thanks also to those Democratic Senators in Hartford, who had the good sense to know foul ball when they saw 1t. There could be no better, finer and more honorable man to succeed Joe Tone than Cornelius Danaher. The Senate If 1t does nothing else this session has rendered a fine service to Connecticut and incidentally put the boys where they belong behind the eight ball.

Not So Easy

To read the papers about the state the intention of some Republicans in the Legislature and Governor Raymond E. Baldwin to prevent legislators being named to appointive offices during their preJent terms is meeting with no oppo- sition but is being greeted on all sides with joy. Quite the opposite is true While it won't do Democratic members of the General Assembly much good to com plain, because they are outnumbered, the Republicans aren't taking to the idea the way the proponents would like to sec them. On the surface all may seem well, but underneath fire smolders.
 The Legislature has always been re- garded by good many public-minded citizens as a stepping stone to perma- nent or mi-permanent positions in the state, county or local governments. If the individual was canny enough he might hold onto the job despite change in political administration But If the Legislative halls are no longer the ave- 1ltie to state, county or local offices there is going to be much moaning and groan- ing. And some of the boys who already have mapped out ambitious courses for themselves won't take the mandate just delivered with n1eekness and turn the other cheek.
 No, there will be rebellion against the very c0mmendable rule the governor committed himself to during his cam

Thus far party members have been solidly with the governor and their legislative leaders.

Unionism Had Early Beginnings

Unionism has brought itself sharply to public attention in re. cent years. So much SO that unions in some quarters have been viewed as direct results of depressichns, But unionism, as c matter Of fact, is nearly as old As the American de- mocracy itself.
 Herbert Harris points this out in an exhaustive discussion of unions, American Labor" (Yale University Press: S3.7b). You will find 1t a thoroughly dispaSSionate book, eini- nently valuable as q guide to an understanding of the labor picture in this country.
 Curiously enough. MT. Harris re- lates, the shoemakers first put unionism on It's feet in the United States. They organized in Phila- delphia in i7D4. They struck to prevent wage reductions and hired one of their members as c "pickeC to sec that oil unionists left their work. After nine weeks of ncgo- tiationB, the siioemakers won.
 And with that victory began unionisms long battle. So labor, says MT. Harris, resorted to organ- ization long before technological problems arose. Actually the real American labor movement began in 1927. also in Philadelphia, when ib trade societies banded together to coiintcract the dumping of cheap foreign goods on the domestic mark. et.
 A hundred years later American labor assurnes . more affirmative role. While it is still interested In wages and hours 1t is more interested in creating work. MT.

If there are any horse race betting establishments left in Connecticut, they might as well close up shop after that decision handed down by the Connecti- cut Supreme Court last week. It virtually puts the quietus on any of them, pro- vided, of course, there would be any com plainants to follow the example of an Ansonia man. This gentleman received a decision which allows him to collect for money lost on horse race bets placed with the defendant operators of room. Occasionally we have heard legal lights claim that money lost through gambling can be recovered through due process of law, but this is the first time that we ever read of a decision on racing bets, like the above one. A few disillusioned betters could quickly put a gaming estab- t, so-called sporting blood undoubtedly accounts for the fact that more losers don't use the law to collect.

THE BRIDGEPORT RECORD
(New Haven Journal-C -Courier)

(NeW Haven Journal-Courierl
 The Democrats at Hartford are reported to be looking forward with c certain malicious glee to the Bridgeport financial legislation One of the reasons for MT. McLevy's delight at the Socialists position in the new senate Is said to have been the facilitation which might flow therefrom for Bridgeport's lcgisla- tive yearnings. We are not yet ace auainted with the details of the che actments which Mir. McLevyB ad- ministration may ask. But we do suspect the Democrats will be as- sured of a ready and attentive au- dience in the state in anything they can spread upon the records about Bridgeport's recent fiscal history.
 For as we have suggested before, the McLevy record in Bridgeport hes looked so good in part because what preceded McLevy had been 50 bad. Older citizens can remember the tumuituous story Of Bridgeport's financing, repletc as it was with ripper biiis by which the assembly,
