The New Haven men claim that the working conditions are harder in New Haven than elsewhere. I don't know the, grounds upon which they base this argument, but think that an inves- tigation will show that hours of labor and the class of work will run about the same throughout the state.
 "The new offer of wages is s1id- ing scale ranging from P cents an hour to 27 1-2 cents an hour. It pro-
 vfdes considerable increase for the large number of men who have been employed less than five years and is an increase of a cent an hour for the old employees. The Bridgeport men will vote upon the proposition on Tuesday night. I don't care to dis cuss the wage question until after the men have voted, but am certain ly in favor of a uniform scole 70 cover the entire system The New Haven men will vote on the matter tonight"

INTERVENTION <. NOT FAVORED
 BY CONGRESS
Will Be Sanctioned Only When Events in Cuba
 Make Other Resource
 Impossible.

Washington, May 31-Cuban inter- vention will not be sanctioned by Con- gress unless the situation reaches a point where such a step will be the only possible remedy, according to House leaders today. Representative Hay, chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee, today declared against intervention, and Chairman Sulzer. of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. is known to be of the same opinion. Other members of both committees express the opinion that unless the situation becomes un- manageable by the Gomez government the United States would ''stay out"
 sShould the destruction of life ana a point that Gomez would be power less to cope with it, said Representa- tive Hay, "there is a strong possibil- ity that we may go in there and re- store order However, do not ex- pect such a contingency to arise. 1 believe Gomez capable of wiplng out any disorders that may arise"
 ranking member of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee, said it was to be hoped that the United States would not have to- go into Cuba, but declar- ed it the duty of this country to pre- serbe order there.
 If the result of Gomez methods shows that the instruction cannot be suppressed" said Garner, ''it would be our duty to intervene. Other na- tions expect US to maintain order and it is an implied contract with them"
 There was much speculation among members as to the result of the Gu ban insurgency. Many are of the opinion, should the Limited States be compelled to intervene in line with her policy to maintain order, it will result in a strong sentiment for the United States to remain in Cuba.
