STATE LABOR IS
 GENERALLY QUIET
Wages Never Higher and Demand for Help Never Greater Is May
 Day Report.

New Haven, May 1.-Labor circles in Connecticut are generally tran gull on this May day. The scale of wages was never higher, and demand for skilled and unskilled workers was never greater. Textile workers in the northeastern part of the state are now receiving top wages.
 Labor has gained wage increases in most of the metal trades and occupa- Shipyards at Bridgeport, GrOton and StratfOrd and followed by wage re adjustments to machinists and tool makers in munition factories at Bridgeport.
 Unsklled labor att many places in the states has received a higher scale.
 In the building trades and allied occupations new wage scales have been announced at many places and the differences remaining unsettled are not many.
 Of wage demands to be discussed in the immediate future the most inn Iortant would appear to be that of trClley men of Connecticut Go. whose agreement will expire on Juno 1. It is stated by officials of the company that as yet the demands of the men have not been presented to them. Aside from the trolley matter there would appear to be no general dis agreement bearing on labor and it's employment impending in the state.

AUTO HERO VICTOR
 OVER HUN AVIATOR
Lieut.. Edward RickenbacheI Wins Air Duel in
 France.

With the American Army in France, April 30, (By the Associated Prcss)-- A German air2Iane was brought down in enemy territory last night by Captain Norman Hall, of Colfax, la, and Lieut.. Edward Rickenbacher of Columbus, o., after a duel over the American line on the Toul sector,
 The American DIrdmen first en- gagged the enemy machine over Ihe American lines. Lieut.. Ricken bacher well known as an automobile racer in the United States swept over the BOche and opened fire with his ma chine gun while Captain Hall, for merIy a member of the LaFaYette escadrille darted behind the German and also opened fire. The German made desperate attempts to escape and returned the fire, several bullets piercing Captain Halls plane.
 The Americans peppered tho enemy machine with bullets and drove it down until it fell behind the German trenches. Captain Hall and Lieut.. Rickenbacher returned from the right unscathed.
 This was the third enemy machine to be bagged by the Americans n three weeks, while several others have been unofiicially reported brought down. Captain Hall served as a private in the British army at the outbreak of tie war and later joined the French aerial forces. He is the author of "Kitchener'S MOb."
 New York. May 1,--Lieut. Eddie Rickenbacher, victor in an air duel over the German lines in France, re- signed as chauffeur at the wheel of Gen. PerShing's automobile because he wanted more speed, according to his friends here. He obtained a, com- mission in the aviation service within three months from the time he left America where he was unhappy un- less he could move faster than 70 miles an hour and Gen. Pershing's operations did not require that his automobile travel so swiftly.
 Rickenbacher, hero of many thrill- ing automobile races in this country and holder of @ number of motor roc ords at the age of 30 said on the eve of America's entry into the war that the race drivers would turn airn;en He was one of the first to fulfill his own prediction. Shortly after Gen. Pershing reached Europe, Rici1en~ bacher followed him and offered his services as chauffeur. The American commander knew his record and ac- cepted him.
 Rickenbacher first came into prom thence as a speed driver in 1911 when he appeared at Indianapolis. In 1914 at Sioux City, la, he won the 900 mile speedway and afterward made creditable records at Omaha, Indian- apolis and Providence and raced also on the Sheepshead Bay track here.
