TREATY FOR THE DEEP WATERWAY
 WAS DISCUSSED
Official of New York Urged Immediate Signing
 of Water Pact

Detroit, Oct 20-(UP)-Early ratification of the Great Lakes-st Lawrence deep waterway treaty was urged before . conference of the Great Lakes Harbors associa- tion by Delos M. Cosgrove. vice. chairman of the New York state Power Authority. The people of New York, in common with resi- dents of other Great Lakes states, have a four-fold interest in the waterway, Cosgrove said. He listed its advantages as follows:
 i. It will make possible the util- ization of 1,100,000 horsepower or potential hydro electric energy m the international rapids section of the St Lawrence, helping to lower rates and rounding out the states industrial development.
 9. The states natural coastline will be increased by 500 miles. transforming such inland cities as Buffalo, Rochester, Oswego, Og- densburg and Massena into ocean ports.
 , &. It will extend the coast line of the United States by $500 miles providing a great stimulus to the economic life of the interior and the country as a whole.
 4. It will assure direct employ. ment to thousands of unemployed workers, requiring an expenditure of about S30,000,000 a year for the next seven or eight years.
 "Only short sighted. selfish inter- ests can profess to see in this gi- gantic project injury to individual ports which now enjoy a monopoly on access to the sea-" Cosgrove said.

NRA Sale Day Here
 Proves Successful
Shoppers and Merchants Enthused With Results
 Sales Averaged From 95 to 986

tricts of the city were damned with people. A beautiful day dawned for the big event and 1t brought out thousands of shoppers, the greater majority of whom were women, and some with children. All in all, 1t was a great MIRA day.
 The ideal weather conditions con- tributed some to the success of the day. Even though one might not have much to spend, 1t was worth while to get out and see the win dow displays, mingle with the crowd of shoppers and imbibe ra little of the cheerfulness noticeable in the happy faces of men, women and children, something which was much more noticeable than at any time since the depression set in. Nothing, perhaps could have given @ better idea oi. the fact that there is a marked improvement in busi- ness than the presence of such a large number of housekeepers gathered in the different stores making purchases of many things which they have needed for some time past, but lacked the courage or cash, in many instances both, to make the outlay necessary to se- cure them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-10-20

Waterbury's MIRA Sale Day yes terday was unanimously declared to have been the greatest event of its kind ever conducted in the city, A general feeling of satisfaction prevailed both on the side of the shoppers for the fine bargains they found and on the side of the mer- chants who found results greater than anticipated.
 Frank J. Green, secretary of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, was enthusiastic in his report of a survey made of cooperating mer- chants yesterday. He said that merchants found that sales during the day averaged between 95 and 9S per cent cash.
 MT Green added that Waterbury residents are once more to be con- graduated for doing their part. They exhibited the patriotism that was called for by President Roose- welt and General Hugh Johnson in their calls to the Buy Now" cam paign. MT Green said 1t was the hope of the business leaders of the city that the people will continue to do their share in the campaign until better times are here again.

planning a big increase in its work ing forces.
 Inquiry at the office resulted in the statement that the reports were partially true. More men will be given employment, but no large numbers were contemplated. Former employees will be recalled. It is not expected that the increase will exceed 20, if that number is reached.
 The Connecticut company's off, fees in Now Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport also experienced q rush of applicants for men as a re- suit of the report, which apparent 1y gained statewide circulation. Tho fact that the company is go- ing on a new MIRA schedule makes 1t imperative that more men be added to the payroll in the vari- ous cities.
 The schedule has no connection with the operation of trolley cars in conformity with a time arrange ment. 1t will concern the number of employees who must not exceed the number of working hours as stipulated in the code under which the company plans to operate.
 It will require several days study before tho local office will be fully cognizant with the number of men 1t may need.

STATE ARSENAL
 IN ILLINOIS IS
 BEING GUARDED
Three Companies of Mili- tia There and Others
 in Mine Zones

Springfield, III, Oct 20.-(UP)- Three companies of militiamen were mobilized at the state ar- senal and other companies were ordered in readiness for duty 'as thousands of progressive miners massed to picket two mines of the Peabody Coal company here to- day.
 As the miners prepared to march on the mines, state and federal authorities expressed ap- prchension of violence and possible bloodshed in a renewal of the bit- ter war between the progressive miners and tho rival United Mine Workers Union.
 One progressive leader was slain and United Mine Workers mem- Der surrendered to the sheriff and was spirited out of Sangamon county when 15,000 members of the progressivos marched through the streets here yesterday.
 Sheriff Cole said Peter Haynes, Taylorville, would be charged with murdering Melville Staples, his fellow -townsman. Although pro- gressive leaders pleaded against violence the miners were obviously in an angry mood.
 The march was called by pro- gressive leaders as Q protest against inaction of the MIRA in placing the coal code for Illinois into ef- feet. As thousands of miners poured into the city Gov Henry Horner called conference of mine operators and officials of the two unions.
 While state police stood guard outside the capitol Assistant Attor- ney General NJ. $. Winning read recommendations of Donald R. Richberg, general counsel for the MIRA, for settlement of the union controversy.
 His recommendations, sent hur- riedly from Washington upon tho urging of Governor Horner, were: 1. That both unions agree all mines now working in Illinois be permitted to operate peacefully under existing contracts. without interference or picketing. 2. That each mine operator may employ additional miners as he sees fit and shall give prefer ence in reemployment to local min CTS who formally worked in his mine.
 3. That miners employ peaceful means of organizing prohibiting all use of force or coercion, dis- putes to be adjudicated by the na- tional labor board in Washington.
 The temper of the progressives was further inflamed when they learned their leaders were not satisfied with the recommendations and felt their union had received scnnt MIRA recOgnition,

The basis Of Martins grudge, officers
said, appeared to be an idea the Mar
graves had been stealing his poultry.
Preston residents said there was no
foundation for the charge.
Sheriff Lewis Davies said his inyes-
tigation disclosed that Margrave was
shot first as he was standing in his
yard. Then William and Stuart were
wounded as they came out Of the house,
William 1ring at the trapper before he
was felled. Martin was wounded

Mrs. Margrave was struck also as she
emerged from the house, but the dis
tance between her and the trapper
saved her from serious injury, officers
said.
Martin dropped his gun and ran two
blocks before he was caught and held
until Sheriff Davies arrival.
Following the shooting, Martin told
o6icers they said, that he hated the
whole Margrave family and had vowed
to get rid Of them.
