Hartford, April 29 Many and com
piex were the subjects taken up for
neanngs Dy legislative committees,
mis alter noon. A productivity tax .on
the , oyster industry, more men in
train crews on the New Haven road,
a tuition fee for . pupils in high and
trade schools, the acquisition ,of the
o'd sTTiroAd bridge at New London
ior nignway purposes and the reso
lutions concerning the judgeships in
the two Norwalks were eome of the
pressing matters before the commit,
tees.
The . cession , of ' the general assem
bly draws to a close but the most im
portant bills remain to be disposed
of. The leaders in both branches will
make an effort to Induce the mem
bers to sit longer each .day and to
hold a. Friday session. The Senate
will take definite action at once. The
evening session is preferred to sitting
on Fridays.
The shellfishery hearing before Sen
ator. Shanley's committee , draws at
tention at this late day to the bills
relating to this industry. The pro
ductivity tax is along the lines of the
suggestion -made by-Tax Commission
er Corbin, last session. It is vigorous
ly opposed now as .then toy the grow
ers. -. Their argument Is that, the in-,
dustry ... is fading away owing to in
creasingly bad - conditions in the.
Sound from pollution of inland and
tidal waters. Fred L. .- Perry, clerk
of the shellfish commission, is author
cf the bill - and the - oyster growers
have taken a hand in the agitation
which is centered on jthe bill to abol
ish the commission as it ;is now con
stituted. At the hearing, last week,
on pollution, the statement was made
that the industry is paralyzed along,
the shore.
Hearing on the New London bridge
matter is in the hall of the House
before the- roads, rivers and bridges
committee. A large delegation from
New London, was on hand as the tak
ing of this bridge means much to that
city. The proposition is to make the
bridge a part, of the highway route
for automobiles along, the , Sound
shore. It - has . been previously stated
that-. President Mellen was willing to
transfer this bridge to the. State under
certain conditions. Engineers I have
figured that . the building of a new
approach will not be either an ex
tremely expensive task or a difficult
one as , the routing the road through
the city will entirely change condi
tions which exist there now.
The publicity given at first hear
ing: on the tuition bill is expected to
develop the - opposition to the plan
favored by the State Board of Muca
tion to have the schooling of pupils
sent to the. high and trade schools
nominally paid .for by parents. The
board is advocating the establishment
of vocational schools to which the
larger percentage of children - gradu
ated- fremv grammar: schools .will go
making . the high and-trade'- schools
resHyvfittlDg schools- for -colleges and
scientific schools. In the opinion of
the - state, board members the high
school courses will be in , the nature
of special Instruction for a selected
few.-j.' - -
As soon as the' Senate has the time
the -report of the committee which in
vestigated the alleged Hurley bribery
case will be called up by Senator. Is-
bell. With it will come the resolution
put in by Senator . McNeil expressing
the Senate's - confidence in , Senator
Hurley. A vigorous debate Is antici
pated. - . '
The full -crew: bill before the rail
roads committee. brought to the Capi
tol a. large delegation of railroad men
interested in the measure. The at
torneys for them had' added weight
to their arguments by citing that the
full crew bills had become laws in
New Tork and New Jersey.

EMPLOYERS READY
TO TREAT WITH
STRIKE EMPLOYES
Paterson, April 29 The silk manu-
facturers were- encouraged today by
news that employes of some of the
mills have called shop meetings, to
discuss the. "strike, independently of
the general strike . leaders. . Three of
these meetings were scheduled for this
afternoon. : All the manufacturers
have sent out circular letters inviting
the 26,000 employes who quit work
nearly 10 weeks ego to renew negotia
tions.
The position of " the employers haB
changed in that they, now offer to
meet the committees representing the
workers whereas hitherto they have
demanded that the employes come to
them as lndlviluals. They still refuse.
however, to ' treat with "professional
strike leaders'
William D. Haywood and other In-
dust rial Workers of the World, Indict
ed for "inciting riot", will be arraign-
ed tomorrow.
