Morning Service Yesterday

Ileonion ill The Sunday Sunday
In The dlternoon

The opening exercises in commotion
with the quarter millennial annivers-
ary celebration of tile foullding of the
Norwalk Congregational Church, were
held yesterday, at the church. and
proved of unusual interest. The at-
tendance at both the morning and af-
ternoon meetings was very large. the
fine weather allowing all who wished
to attend. Tile features of the morn-
ing service were the able historical
address by Rev. George Drew Egbert,
the pastor. and the services In connec-
tion with the unveiling of the. bronze
tablet. The latter were very impres—
sive. The decorations were unusual-
ly elaborate and could not fail to be
noticed on first entering the church.
Flags had been draped artistically all
around the gallery front, at the sides
of the auditorium large and handsome
bay trees had been placed. and at each
corner of the gallery majestic palms
helped to make up the effect. Suspend-
cd from each of the gallery pillars.
were long leafed potted plants. while
a row of beautiful white chrysanthe-
mums above the organ. added to the
scene. A string of gaiex leaves ex-
tended from the top of the organ to
the star of lighted gas jets above. On
one side of the organ overhead. con-
spicuously placed. was the numeral
"1652." in silver letters, with a purple
background, surrounded by green
leaves. 0n the opposite side the let-
ters “1902" were. similarly placed and
surrounded. The entire decorations
were very beautiful and were the some
work of Frank C. Randle. The flowers
were from Hani’ord's Floral Hall.

The morning service opened with
nearly every seat ill the auditorium

lege, and the Y. M. C. A. and the Bul-
lard Machine Tool Company, of Bridge-
port. Brown's and the High School
played at 2 o'clock with nine men
each. As all the Brown men did not
put in an appearance Captain Cooker»
ham would not play unless Caxltaln
Corbett laid off two of his men. Con-
sidering the defective line up the game
was well fought. Among those de-
serving spoa.sial mention was Brown's
big center-rush. Morton. who repeated
his good work of a Week ago Saturday.
The blank places ill the lineup were
the ends, so that long and runs were
frequent. The game was played in
the following order.

The Bridgeport team proved too
heavy for the Y. M. C. A.'s and they
were defeated by the score of 12 to (l.

in the first half after a hard battle
all the way down the field. Loeser was
sent over for Bullard‘s first touch‘
down after ten minutes of play. Kelly
kicked the goal. The Bridgeport do-
feusive work in this half was very
good and the. Y. M. C. A.'s coulu not
advance the ball to any extent.

In the second half. after a few ex-
changes of the ball Saulters got
around the left end for a forty yard
run and the ball was only live yards
from a touchdown. Here, is where
Bullard had their troubles. Cilaimers
got two yards and Snulters got lwa
more; on the. next pass Saultcrs fum~
bled the ball and Cockerham fell on it.
Y. M. C. A. promptly fumbled and it
was Builard‘s ball again. lint still
another fumble was made and Key-

latest llnrlvalla‘lahol Problem

Commands The Ilalue Ill l’nlllie-
MhMMdmmm

llnnenessaru dgoressiveness dm-
one Most Workinomen '

 

The teamsters' demand brings before
us the labor problem in a Very concrete
form. it suggests the possibilities for
good and evil of organized labor. The
good is revealed in the fact that it
brings to light many conditions of the
laborer which otherwise would not be
known to the public. The value of
publicity with reference to conditions
which concern the public. lies not nec-
essarily in the fact that these condi-
tions are improved. but that the rea—
son for their existence is required. If
the reason is adequate no onlployel'
should object to the publicity, and if
the conditions are unreasonable. it is
best for all concerned that ifilch condi»
tions be changed. The present rote of
wages. the working hours and the holv
inlays are matters which the public may
lawfully know. especially If the labor-
ing men are willing to make them pub—
lic. Tile public also has a right to
know. and is under obligation to con
sider when given, the reasons assign—
cd for existing conditions. The rca«
sons thus for given relate to the wages
and hours. The failure to give the
men public holidays has not been ex-
plained. so far as we know. But if
the revealing of tile laboring nuln's
condition be a possibility for good.
suggested by the teamsters' demand,
the possibility for evil is equally man—
ifest. Souls of these llosslblllfies have
become very actual and are regarded
by some as evils inseparable from unv
lonlsm. We regard them as abuses
which may be separated from organiz—
.le labor. and which must be if the lat-
ter stand.

The first abuse in the present dos
mnnd is the requirement that only un-
icn men be employed. This. as we.
have insisted before. is unfair. nil-Am-
erican. tin-Christian. and positively
hurtful to the cause of labor. This de-
mand seems to have been dropped.

Tile second clause is the throat and
the time limit which accompany the
rlclnand. The cry 'do it in so many
days or we will make you suffer." is
precisely the spirit of the most heart-
less employer. and is the spirit of the
trusts. Why cannot at company of em‘
ployccs luanfully request the improve-
meat of their condition. and seek by
honorable means to persuade the em-
ployers to increase their wages and de-
crease live hours? It Is unmauly to
threaten. It. is cowardly to take an
unfair advantage. If ll be immoral for
the coal dcaicm to traffic In human lic-
ccsaltles. as the great majority of them
all over lilo country did, It. is of the
savne piece for the teamstcrs to make
demands at a time when compliance
comes from being cornered. not from
being convinced.

Another statue is the demand that all

This is an nblnw of two principles
which organized labor niriy promote.

First. the payment of sufficient
bulges. ’l‘llat unionism has been In-
strulneulal In securing bctlcr wages
for men. we believe. But It in u terri-
ble abuse of tilts principle to Insist
that men of outward ability slluil have
cqual pay.

Sccvmd. the principle- of general
rituallty among workmen is «our which
should be developed. Thai is that men
should be taught to come up to a gun-
eral standard of ofllrloncy. so that out
of an increasing large number. it
would be possible to nclcct any one.
and find him to be no [£li to workman
in gelicrul an play other. lint such a
principle in in direct opposition to the
practice of insisting that the inferior
shall be paid as the superior. lluione
lam at the point has lens to do with
whites than it has with men. its blurb
ucuo he to help Inferior workmen up to
a state of efficiency and not concern
itself with wages except as it deals
with eullnlly efficient men.

There in an album of the principle»
of union-«which principle as far all it
means the voluntary union of men for
social betterment we heartily approve
«wwhieh we fear underlies the present
agitation and much that in prospective.
it is that of llnueremvry aggressive-
ness. We are afraid that there is a
disposition to create and magnify
grievances in order to little salaried of:
been something to do. who in turn
hue to satisfy restless members who
think their dues thump away. unless
some quarrel is on. . We speak from
experience in kind. There are some
church members who think the church
in doing nothing. unless there is an
open light with “loud keepers or my.
curt politicians. And zooms actors
do all the conduct of such o it; ttrue
ministerial eiheleaey. r All a friend of
the principle of organised labor. and
an enemy of emulated unfairness. we
commend the "cognition of this abuse

But the Norwalk Water Commission-
orl Cannot‘Undar-otsnd How. '

The Norwalk Water Commissioners
have at last solved the‘water problemt
but how they did It they do not know.
The water is, run initiate the diatrib-
uting reservoir in large quantities
from the Grape rc ervolr and now, des-
pite the fact that the city is being
fed entirely from the distributing res-
ervoir on Spring Hill, the water in the
latter continues to steadily rise. The
pressure is all that could be expected
and the commissioners are supremely
happy.

How the water began to flow again
Is _ almost an unsolvablo mystery
though the commissioners are. of the
opinion that the air has been gradually
working itself out of the pipe for some
time and has simply all been gotten
out. at last. They have been opening
the valves ever since the trouble began
and it. seems peculiar that the car did
not escape sooner. The same condi-
tion of affair prevailed about ten years
ago and the difficulty adjusted itself in
the same mysterious manner as it has
just done. All connected with the
water department agree in the belief
that the trouble must. have in some
manner been Caused by air.

During‘ the time that the trouble was
at its worst the commissioners were
obliged for many days to purchase wat-
er from South Norwalk and later the
water was turned Into the city water
mains direct from the Grape ltoservmr
but the big pressure such is obtained
with the aid of the distributing reser~
voir could not be secured though tile
commissioners declared that it was
much better than some people said.

Only a few days ago Water Commis-
sionerf Gooltl S. Hoyt stated that not
a drop was flowing into the Spring
Hi reservoir. There was a pretty
good supply of water there but the
commissioners saved it for use in case.
of fire.

The first the commissioners noticed
that the trouble was adjusting itself
was Friday when a gain of a few in-
cites manifested itselfl Saturday and
yesterday the gala became much great-
er and now with the city being fed
with water from there that the gain
continues is much of a surprise to ev-
oryone.

The commissioners have just com-
pleted the work of stopping the small
leaks in the Grape reservoir dam
which were giving them a little trou~
ble. This dam Is now in an excellent
condition in every way.

SHERIFF HAWLEY ALL RIGHT.

A Correspondent Believes he is Entiti-

ed to the Support of all Voters.

Editor Sentinel: Sidney E. llawiey.
of Brooktield. at the present time sher-
iff of Fairfleld Collnty. is a candidate
for re-eltlctlon to that. high office, and
because of his wise administration of
the affairs of the office and his tasteful
and conscientious management of the
county jail, he is entitled to the cam-
est support of the voters of the county.
lint the town of Norwalk has a partic-
ular reason for desiring that Sheriff
ilawley be. again elected. for three
years ago last .Iullc he gave to Nor-
walk John W. Sculicy as his deputy.
Mr. Sculley, who was and is naturally
well compiled for the duties of too
other. was well and favorably known
throughout the town. and peculiarly
popular with and acceptable to the lnb~
oring people; and during the period
of his service he has performed his
duties faithfully and well and has won.
by his gentlcnlanly conduct matter all
circumstances, the confidence of the
entire people. it has woil been said
of him: “To know him is to trust and
respect him." Upon the reolectionof
Sheriff Hawley depends the rc-appoini‘
ment of Mr. Scullcy as deputy sheriff
for Norwnlk. A vote for Sheriff l-law-
Icy is a vote. for Mr. Sculloy, and every
voter. regardless of party. who desires
to retain in office as deputy sheriff a
mom who has bccn tried and has prov-
cn efficient. should carefully Inspect
Ills ballot and see that tbcrcon appears

Work [it lineiaet Brigade Saved
ddjoininn Buildings

Three cows were burned to a crisp in
a blaze which destroyed a small barn,
on Baby Hill. Winnipauk. owned by
George Hebal. Sunday morning, about
2 o'clock.

How the fire started is a mystery.
but it is believed to be of incendiary
origin. Hebal and neighbors were
awakened to find the structure in one
mass of flames. and any attempt to
save it was out of the travestion. Quite
a number of buckets of water were ob—
tained. but more water was used on
the hum of Mortimer Denney. a short
distance away. Mr. Denncy‘s barn took
lire.‘but the strenuous efforts of the
bucket brigade saved this structure
lronl serious damage.

Not a beam in llebni‘s barn was left
standing. aud beside the three cows
burned to death. about five tons of hay
and unite in quantity of farming uten—
sils were entirely destroyed.

Mortimer Denney made an effort to
get out the cows which were imprison-
ed ill the burning burn. but the flames
drove him back at New attempt. Not
any of the, contents of the barn were
saved. The fire was viewed by a large
number of people yestreduy. Hebal’s
loss is thought to be fully covered by
insurance, as he carried $500 on the
barn and $100 on the cows, with the
agency of Oliver E. Wilson, and $50 on
the barn and $100 on the. contents with
the agency of Coolidge and Lyrics.

Several theories have been advanced
for the origin of the tire. Some are of
the. opinion that tramps were in the
barn. and after accidentally setting fire
to the hay. were aroused by the flames
and smoke. and tied. Others are of the
opinion that some one set fire to the
structure purposely.

 

STRIKE MAY BE SETTLED.
Teamsters Willing to Work Ten Hours

From the statements of officials of
the Union this morning it is probable
lllc tcamstcrs' strike will be settled
before the end of the week. Irving
backwood all Co. signed the Union
agreement this morning and J. Wallace
Marvin will sign the agreement this
afternoon. The teamsters have waiv-
ed tile clause which calls for a nine
hour day and have substituted a ten
hour day. What. they now demand is
a ten hour day. time and one-half for
overtime. tbrcc holidays a year and $12
a week pay. it was stated this morn-
ing that all but three of the bosses in
South Norwnlk had signed the. Union
agreement. The Union officials were
hopeful that those. would soon come

ROOMS FOR TOWN HIGH SCHOOL.
Mr. Adams Asks Bomo Further Ques-
tions of Mr. Blanchard.

Editor Sentinel:

I quote from my letter of the 18th:
“Will the committee tell the people
through The Sentinel how many rooms
are used for the town’s high school
and how many of the town's high
school scholars, including those from
our own district. are in attendance.
and if they are counted in thii number
registered and average attendance in
the report of the Board of School We
Itors and what the district receives
from the town for rent of the rooms
the town uses for their town high
school?"

I now quote from Mr. Blanchard’s
letter of the 20th: “For information
of Mr. Adams and others. allow me to
state that the tOWn pays no rental at
all to the district on actloupt of the
high school. No rental is paid to any
other district." This is the only an-
swer given to any of my questions.

I now quote from Mr. Blanchard's
gentiemanly and scholarly letter of
the 29th: “His letter was such a tis-
sue of misstatements that I have ser-
iously questioned whether it was
worth while to take any notice of It
whatever." Further. he says, “The.
upper floor of the Concord building has
only three class rooms; that the town
high school is not located there; that
there are eight rooms in the Concord
building.”

I am charitable enough towards Mr.
Blanchard to believe he does not mean
these statements as a “tissue of mis-
statements." or “mental gymnastics."
but that be. is ignorant. of the facts.
Since reading his letter I have visited
the Concord street building and find
the following facts: There are two
rooms on the first. floor and four on
the second floor now occupied by our
own scholars. There are four rooms
on the third floor now occupied by the
town's high school, making ten rooms
in Concord building, with three in
Knudsen building and eighteen ill
Franklin street building, making 31
rooms. two of which are used for kin»
dcrgnrten schools. with two teachers
cacll. equal in polllt of numbers to two
regular schools rooms. making an
equivalent of 33 rooms, each of the ca-
pacity of fifty registered scholars, giv.
ing a capacity of 1,650 registered
scholars, if the town's high school is
otherwise taken care of. There were
registered last year beside the town's
high School about 1.350.

Now facts and figures having been
presented to the public. showing that
no new school building will be needed
for several years if the town high
school is taken care of by the town.
Certainly it will give us four rooms.
which will accommodate 200 scholars.

I respectfully ask the committee to
tell the peOple of this district through
