About twenty-live prominent l‘on-

and their 1'c-presentatives fought for
1111110111 three hours over the question
01" what system of taxation would be
ifnir to Connecticut corporations, 111 n

{on taxation of certain corpoiatlons, at.
the (‘npitoi in Hartford, yesterday 111-

The question upon which the diffcr~
once 01‘ opinion on the part of the

the banks. and insurance companies
should 1.111 taxed 011 the 111111111 01' the
market value 01' their stocks or upon
the book value, and the commission
certainly received enough information
and views on the subject to account

future.

his voice is heard and he is given some
consideration.
“The union is needed to protect the
laboring man against the unscrupu-
lous employer. who, because labor is
the most perishable of all commodi
ties, takes advantage of the necessi-
ties of his men to grind them down.
“The union is needed to protect the
laboring man against the. unscrupulous
men in his own ranks. Men some-
times bite the bread out of each 0111
cr’s mouths in the eagerness to get
jobs where there is no organization.
“The union is needed‘to protect the-
fair-minded employer who wants to
treat his employs right, against the
shark of an employer who underbids
him in the open market because be 1111-

knows what his competitor's labor is
costing him. and all are on the same
footing." ,
in the opinion 01 Dean Brown it is
the duty of the laboring man to bring
about. u better understanding between
employer and employs. This. can be
accomplished in three ways, first by
a more democratic spirit in the "con-
trol of industry; second, a more equit-
able distribution of things produced
by workingmen and by men of capital
and organizing ability acting together;

reasonable assurance that he will have
