them any good inasmuch as no work was available This, however, was a decrease from .January-June, 1920 from 2I3 to s. If you are going to speak about child labor in Waterbury wouldn't it be just as fair to say that child labor had decreased about COG per cent. between the period covered from January-June, 1920, and Janu- ary-June, 1922?
 Waterbury has very little child la bor Many of our largest plants will not allow children under I6 to be em- ployed under any circumstances. A large number of children that work in Waterbury, work one-half day be- cause of the fact that the conditions in schools are such that htey attend eiher session i'll the morning or aft ernoon, and work half day in local shops.

INTERNATIONAL TO
 KEEP OUT OF LYNN
Boot and Shoe Workers Union
 Awaits Workers Request.

Boston, Feb. 2-The general ex- ecutive board of the Boot and Shoe Workers International Union of the American Federation of Labor, after duly considering the chaotic condi- tions of labor affairs in Lynn, has re- affirmed the position of its executive officers that it will not enter Lynn as an organization until the shoe work CTS of that city request such action. This policy was unanimously de- cided on by the full board, which ad- journed it's annual meeting at 246 Summer street, Tuesday, after being in session in this city for nearly a week. The "hands off" policy is a confirmation of the position taken a few weeks ago by Collis Lovely, gen eral president, and Charles L. Baine, general secretary-treasurer.
 Although the board decided not to give out a public statement on its deliberations, its attitude on the Lynn situation is clearly defined in a letter broadcast to the shoe workers of that city, which is signed by President Lovely and Secretary-Treasurer Baine

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb 2-Profress was impeded by additional contro- versy in the United Mine Workers convention over seating of delegates backed by the insurgents. However, delegates generally were restive, and howled down one insurgent who took the platform to speak for shorter wrking day.

 and is at the top of this sessions cal endar. He can and ought to inform
 himself as to the facts, which are easily obtained from the New Haven Public library. And he can support our own Connecticut Child Welfare splendid activity in the care of chill 1 dren's interests and which has just established a Bureau in the New Ha- ven Chamber of Commerce" All of which would nave been very fine if it hadn't gone farther than the Rev. Maurer's congregation. But
 it did and the newspapers picked it up for wonder and broadcaste Rev Maurer's ideas an they hit Waterbury like Big Bertha shell so that the Chamber of Commerce was constrain- ed to issue statement asking the pastor to correct himself but as yet he hasn't done so. Says the Water bury American, voice of the brass in- dustries anent the demand for MT. Maurer to apologize:
 Alvin E. Gillett, secretary of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, today addressed letter to Rev. Os- car E. Maurer, New Haven minister, calling attention to the misleading statement made in his sermon yester- day to the effect that Waterbury child labor was almost eight times greater in 1923 than in 1922. MT. Gillett pointed out that the actual number of children employed in the Brass City is negligible, and that, stated spe- officially in figures, the increase is not at all startling.
 Child labor, as a problem in Wa terbury, MT. Gillett says, is not near ly so great as the problem created by thousands of children attending moving pictures at night when they should be in bed.
 The letter written by MT. Gillett to the Rev. Mir Maurer reads as fol- lows:
 Letter Sent to Dr. Maurer
 "Dr. Oscar Maurer,
 Pastor of Center Church,
 New Haven, Conn,
 My Dear Mr. Maurer:-
 My attention ha sbeen called to the fact that you made statement in your pulpit yesterday that child labor had increased in Waterbury to an alarming extent durin gthe last year. We assume that you secured your figures from the Children's bureau of the Department of Labor.
 We know that you want to be fair ir any statements that you make about our city. We, of course, are jealous of the honor and reputation of our city and are anxius not to have statements made about our city which do not contain the whole truth.
 "The figures which you apparently quoted were taken from January-June, 1922, when because of business de prcssion there were only 35 children who secured working certificates, be- cause of the fact that it would not do

Joe Geshel Found Dead In
His Home.

Joe Geshel, former saloonkeeper,
was found dead in his home on
Third avenue north Monday when
neighbors sensed that something was
wrong and entered the home. He
was sitting in a chair near a table
when called by death and when dis
covered his body was frozen stiff,
indicating that the man had been
dead few days. 1t is believed that
heart trouble caused his death.
When Mail Carrier Warren
Paynter noticed that Geshel had not
taken in his mail he notified his
father, who made an investigation
with the above result.

here for many years, disposing of

of his Silver street property. He
was about so years old and leaves

A speaker at the meeting of the
American Association by the Ad-
vancement Of Science said that the
missing link" is in a fair way Of
being discovered, in fact, it may be
found any day.
He reported that all Of America
and western Europe have been ex-
plored, which is assurance enough,
perhaps, that we have escaped the
possibility Of that phantom Of science
being found in our midst.
Americans may not well feel
secure and Mr.. Bryan may continue
to condemn the theory Of evolution
for all we care.
The missing link" is not among
US. Let JOY be unrestrained.
But even scientists may make mis-
takes.

The killers.

Judge Ames of Minocqua, review
ing recent hunting seasons, observes
growing disregard for law. New
cunning, new craftiness comes to STAY
the creatures of the wild-especiall
the deer. A few may be left US,
the judge hopes, for our geological
collections; none will be left for our
forests. So he would close the
woods to hunters.
The judge is right There is no
hope for any wild thing against the
killers among men. The inventive
genius of humanity is behind them
They drive swift motor cars. They
shoot with high powered repeating
rifles. They play spotlights into
the trees, fascinating the deer. They
lure them to a 20-foot range and
shoot them from the car seat. They
Stay buck and doe and fawn alike.
Where the killers go to the wilder
ness cannot live. 1t withers, north
ward. Trampled desolation in its
wake.
Why the killers? Because Wis
consin has many "sports," but too
few sportsmen. Because to
multitudes of these sports" sports
manship is less than name. Be
cause the out of doors, to them, is a
thing to be desecrated. Because
ours too often is not a real love, but
feeble, fireside thing, that pirates
of the woodlands and its creatures
while the killers go out to destroy.
No-there will be no deer in
Wisconsin, nor quail nor grouse nor
trees nor flowers-if Wisconsin con-
tinues to condone the killers. Nor
will law nor court nor warden nor
sheriff stay them. Not until sports
manship lives in the state-not until
hunters are born who would give the
wild fair play, against modern gun
and modern car-will the wilderness
revive.
Two years, or five or ten, under
the hands of the killers, and the last
deer will have sunk TO his knees
under the glare of spotlight, a
mushroom bullet through his heart.
And that would be a glorious kill
that last kill, of noble game, in a
state that was once a hunting
