TO GET CHEAPER COAL Judge Larkin Of Water- bury Named To Argue Before Interstate Com- merce Commission. The state public utilities commis- sion has retained Judge William J. Larkln Jr.. of Waterbury to repre~ sent the New England states. along with certain laymen. in a fight be- fore the United States Intersta‘e Commerce Commission to get cheap- er coal for this section of the coun- try. Hts selection was made by ar- rangement with Governor Trumbull and Edward W. Goss of Waterbury. member of the New England Gov.- ernors' Fuel Committee. following a conference between the governor and Attorney General Frank E. Hcaly. Plans have been made for an aggressive effort which may last four months. to win through-all- ratl rates for low volatile. semi-b1. tuminous coal from Virginia. and West Virginia coal fields to all rall- roads in the New England states. The underlying purpose of the move is to open up all the coal fields to Connecticut and the other New England tates on a. uniform basis not only o get immediate re- light: 0 rates to various points in Connecticut which are considered prohibitive. but also to bring all the coal fields in compo-_ tttion with each other for New Eng- land business in the belief that, such competition would result in lower prices for coal at the mines. It has been estimated that $16.- 000 may be needed to prosecute the case before the interstate commerce commission. and the governor said yesterday that he is prepared to ask the board of control to make that amount available for the purpose, if necessary. While Judge Larktn is nominally'specls‘l counsel for the Connecticut public utilities commis- sion. he will be paid out of the governor's contl gent fund which will be drawn other expenses of the movement.

Dr. Montgomery's Career Dr. Montgomery is peculiarly well fitted to comment on Mr. Van Dyke's decision for, like the New York preacher. he has enjoyed a va- ried and brilliant career. and was for it years assistant minister at the Madison Square Presbyterian church. in New York. Many and diverse have been the roles that Dr. Montgomery has till- cd. including those of journalist. lec- turer, and diplomat. He held the post of assistant to the American ambassador in Constantinople in 1916, and was attached to'tho Peace Conference at Versailles in 1918. He has served at different times in the capacity of special correspondent for both the London Daily Graphic and the London Standard. He is also the author of several widely read books. In support of his theory that more valuable and lasting work could be accomplished in a small town rec- tory than in a large city church. Dr. Montgomery summoned several per- tinent arguments. gleaned. as he said. from his own experience. He wished to make plain the fact that the country parish is no longer what it used to be. for. as the auto- mobile has increased. the congrega. tions have become proportionately larger, and the Sands! gatherings in the small tow — , no‘longer consists of a more sprinktng of worshippers. . Metropolitan Obstgcles. “in the metropolitan parish." he went on to explain. "the congrega- tion is transient. and consequently the minister never becomes fully ac~ quainted with his people, since he never has the same people from one Sunday to the next. This difficulty is increased bythe great variety of celebrated orators and clergymen which a large city naturally offers, each continually drawing from the oiher's congregation. “Another unremedlable ill the city pastel-thus to contend with. is the difficulty facing him if he wishes to develop a cloud relationship with the young. since the boys and girls associated with a fashionable metro. polttan church are sent away to school in the winter and taken to, the country in «the summer. He said that at his Sunday school in New York be frequently had an attendance of not more than, so children. "In the country Dr. ‘ Montgomery has found all this vastly different. His congregation is satisfyingly large. in proportion to the popula- tion. and nvartebls. He comes into close con act with the children throughout the entire year. and his social duties are invariably enter] his parishioners. Consequently. he is continually building up and his belief that he has accomplished more in‘ the one year that he has been if Noroton than in his entire 11 years in New York.
