GOVERNOR and
COURT CLASH
OVER SALARIES
Robertson Opposes Any In
direct Increases.

Governor Robertson jumped square
ly on the toes OF supreme cour JUS
tioes yesterday when he said he
frowned upon proposals TO increase
salaries OF officials in a round about
beat the devil behind the bush" way.
developed this morning that +,
measure, bearing the approval OF the
appellate bench. has been prepared
for introduction. which provides for
giving supreme court justices a small
salary Tor their services as members
OF the state library board. in addition
to their $4,000 year as justices.
Friends OF the justices called upon
the governor this morning and dis
cussed the matter with him.
There is absolutely NJ question bu,
that salaries ough, to be raised, and
while ] am not inclined 10 oppose the
judgment OF the legislature on any
matter, Just now am OF the opinion
that ! will not approve any measure
that seeks TO raise salaries in an in
direct way" said the governor.
1T must be a straight cut increase
or nothing at all" ie added.
The difficulty about a sraigh, ou,
increase is that it can not apply 10
incumbents because Of the con,,i,u.
tional inhibition against raising o,
lowering an officials N,lay during
his term Of office.
The plan to add to the salarie, OF
officials by providing compensation
for extra service, cuts a curve arounI
this provision, and would. in an in.
direct way. give the salary increase.

HONOR WORKERS OF RED CROSS
Service Badges Awarded Last Nigh5-A. ". Staub
 Outlines Peace Plans

. F Workers of the Bridgeport chapter, American. Red Gross, were. award ed service badges and certificates for. the splendid work they had done durin g the years of war. A special meeting had been called. at the. Seaside club where Albert w., Staub, general man ager of the Atlantic Division, made an address upon the fine work ac- | cornpiish ed by the Red Cross and upon the work yet to be done. Wal ter B. Lashar, chairman of the local chapter, was the presiding officer, and made the awards. ''-- ,
 In speaking of the vast ground Of | work covered by the Red Cross work CTS, MT. Staub praised the local chapter noting the many times it had gone over the top in the completion of the various quotas assigned. He gave a brief review of the responses the or ganization made during the war, of the large. sums f money. accorded by the. public, and of the immense fields it entered while. in Europe.
 But our work has not ended" said MT Staub, during his address. ''The ending. of the war does not mean the ending of our work, but rather the continuation. The Red Cross had been shifted from the western to eastern Europe where she will re- main as long .as is necessary. Red Cross societies of European countries have been unable to cope with the emergencies which this war has pro- duced, and so. it has planned to cre- ate organiza tions which will have the ability to meet the problems of the future with greater. unison and eff ciency. This shows that the greatest work of the society is still before us."
 MT. Stauh- predicted a. busy sum mer in getting peace policies worked out. The need in. foreign countries is F 900 garments a month, he sta ted, and the work of contribution must be carried on. for many more months. Bridgeport women have promised to, supply 27,000 garments during the summer under the. lead- ership- of Mrs. M. E. Baker, of the Atlantic Division.
 Applications for honor will be re- ceived at Red Cross headquarters for another week.

MISS GREEN TALKS
 ON SUMMER CLOTHES

The buying and making of the summer wardrobe formed an inter esting discussion at the Food Hut yesterday afternoon when Miss Gladys Green displayed to the group of women present various cloths and explained their durability. She spoke upon the worth of linen as a summer material and told its value.
 Linen has no substitute and Is one of the best materials for summer dresses, but since it takes no die. caution must be taken in the choice of colors. Miss Green explained the various ways by which spots can be taken out of linen and how to test the material when buying it. Silks. mer- cerized materials and wool were also discussed Miss Green noted the tight skirts and said that the style could not last long. since there was no com fort in walking. She also urged the women to keep household accounts 90 as to know what proportion of the income is being spent in the home
 In the evening Miss Green repeated the demonstration of the hat, for tn @ third time. A number of the women expressed their desire to form a club whereby Miss Green could teach them sewing and give them talks on clothes. Miss Greens lectures are becoming very interesting and instructive.

M MANUFACTURERS
 OPPOSE DAYLIGHT SAVING REPEAL
Send Protests to Connnecti- cut Representatives In
 Washington

Hartford. May 29-Protests against the proposed repeal of the daylight saving act have been sent by tele- graph to each of the Connecticut members of the United States House of Representatives by E. Kent Hub bard, president of the Manufacturers' Association of Connecticut, Inc, it fees in Hartford this afternoon. The association has also sent a special bulletin to each of It's more than 500 members throughout the state, ad- vising them of the effort being made to pass the repeal as part of the agri- cultural appropriation bill, now under consideration in the House.
 Soaking in behalf of the manufac- turing industries of the state, em- ploying more than 8 quarter of a mill lion workers, MT. Hubbard urged the members of the Connecticut delega- ton to spare no effort to secure the elimination of the repeal from the agricultural bill. His message stated further:
 "Advices received from all parts of the state demonstrate that manufac- turers are unanimous in desiring con- Inudnce or the daylight saving law While the plan yields certain econo- miles, its continuance is even more desired on behalf of those employed in industry and their families. The experience of last year, and this year also proves that daylight saving cons tributes greatly to the health and contentment of all classes of people by affordins greater opportunity for outdoor recreation. gardening and other pursuits. I am firmly con- vinced that if the proposed repeal were submitted to popular vote 1t would be overwhelmingly opposed.
 The Manufacturers' Association has consistently favored the daylight saw ing plan since 1917. and last Febru- ary, when a similar effort was made by the agricultural committee in Congress to bring about the repeal of the present law, by vote of its direc- tors. lodged a protest against the re- peal with members of Congress from Connecticut.
