Less than week remains before the democratic primaries. If the workingmen vote as they talk the next mayor of the city will be working man. In the selection of James NJ.

Perhaps the quietest strike that ever occurred in Waterbury, or for that matter in the country, is that of the Buffers and Polishers' union at the Clock shop. So far as can be learned there is no material change in the sit uation in the past week The strik- CTS appear confident of eventual sue cess, are receiving their strike benefits regularly and to judge from appear ances must have some foundation for their belief that matters will be- ad- justed.
