THE BR0CKTON
 BUSINESS MEN
 ARE WATCHFUL
They Have Sent Appeal to National Labor Board to Help Kill Off the Strikes in Their City

Brockton, Mass Sept 20-(UP)- Business interests today hoped for prompt response to their new ap- peal to the national labor board, asking speedy action toward set- ting e strike that is keeping most of Brockton's 10 shoe factories and somo 5000 workers idle.
 only the Doyle Shoe company and Thompson Brothers Shoe oom- pany had working forces on hand today. A few other factories had handful of mon getting out sam ples, but the remaindqr wore shut down. The M. A. Packard and tho George E. Keith shoe plants were obliged to shut down yesterday for lack of sufficient help.
 In q telegram to Senator Wag- ner, chairman of tho national la bor board, the Brickton chamber of commerce and retail merchants association said;
 condition increasingly grave. Trouble in shoe industry criples entire city. We cannot urge upon you too emphatically necessity for immediate decision by your board. If we can be of service please di- rect us."
 The Brockton Shoe Manufactur- CTS association has estimated that the prolonged despute over the sta- tus of two rival unios, the Boot and Choe Workers union and the Brotherhool of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen, Is costing the workers $150,O00 to $175,000 in weekly pay rolls. The manufacturers. who have a contract with the former union, have refused to recognize the rotherhood. The latter now claims a majority of the workers and has been able to tie up activity in the industry.

GOOD PLAN FOR
 ALL CONCERNED
People Asked to Reduce Mortgages and Get Low.
 CT Interest Rate
A FAIR PROPOSITION

Some of the institutions and pri- vate individuals who have money out on mortgages are making an effort to have borrowers reduce the principal and as m inducement they are offering c slight reduce ton in the interest charged. One Of the paragraphs in the notice reads as follows:
 "ln order to provide an induce ment for the borrower to make such payments, in all cases where the borrower, at the time of pay ing the interest, also pays 2 per cent on the principal now due on the mortgage, the rate for the next period of six months will be 5js per cent instead of c per cent. This rate may be continued each six months thereafter on payment of the same amount. Tn order to take advantage of this reduction in rate, taxes must be paid to date of pay. ment on the principal"
 If this plan had been adopted 2b or 30 years ago, many who have made little or no effort to re. duce the amount of their mort gages would have them greatly reduced and probably wiped out altogether at this timo, so that when rightly considered what 1t Is proposed to do if observed is bound to help the borrower as well as the person who furnishes the loan. As a rule money lenders lot things run along without ask ing for any of the principal and feel satisfied so long as the interest Is paid promptly and the security good. That worked all right when money was not as scarce as 1t is now and has been for the past three or four years, but 1t is dif- ferent to-day so that people who have vast sums out at interest and arc getting prompt payments find 1t necessary to resort to new plans of getting in a little of the princi- pal as well as tho interest.
 The benefit of the MIRA is being felt already, but 1t will take @ few months more before conditions will be normal and folks who were in debt will have their back bills paid

Meeting Scheduled for Last Night Will Be Held To- night-Many Members of Local Chapter Attend ed State Session in New Haven to Hear National Commander Speak

other distinguished citizens ac- corded Commander Mcqueen a very cordial welcome to the City of Films. The rally ciimaxed series of interesting events of the day. From the Connecticut-New York state line the commander was given Q motorcycle police escort to New Haven. Following dinner at the Taft hotel visit was paid 70 the veterans hospital at Newington.
 In the evening Commander Me- Queen in a spirited address de- scribed the actions of the Economy league as an nl-advised and vicious attempt to besmirch the names of all veterans. He declarde that the D.A.V. has gone on record to con- tinue its nationwide fight for the restoration of privileges disabled men deserve. He outlined the seven-point program the brgani- zatfon intends to sponsor. He de- clared that the D.A.V. will oppose tho payment of any bonus until all service-eonnected disability cases are cared for. The outfit is not in sympathy with the actions of any bonus army. The D.A.V. will continue It's opposition to commun- istic organizations.
 John J. Muiligan of Waterbury, state commander of the DAY. was one of the speakers of the even- ing pt the big rally. More than 300 veterans were in attendance.

BUSINESS GOOD
 IN THE FACTORIES
Some Departments of Al.
 most Every Shop in Z City Running Nights
"A CHEERFUL SIGHT

Anybody who takes Q walk about the city canont help noticing busi- ness must be good in the factories. Almost every plant in town Is working nights. The hum of ma chinery reminds one of the condi- ton that existed during the period of tho World war, when wages were high and orders more numer. ous than the shops could turn out Nobody wants resumption of business for tho same reason that crowded concerns that time. but just the same people who have toured Europe claim that the war spirit is the ruling passion in some of tho nations of the old world.y
 However, that may be, 1t Is be- lieved this country had all 1t wants of war, and that 1t will be dlffi- cult to get 1t to engage in another conflict started by It's neighbors, who made good use of American boys and American money and when 1t was over showed scant appreciaton of the service ren- deped.
 Rut that's another matter. It is goosi to see tho shops busy and people hurrying to and from their place of employment. It reminds folks of the days when there was work for everybody at q living wage and not so much talk about what they wore planning in other parts of tho world.

RECOVERY CODE
 FOR COLLEGES
 AND STUDENTS
President of Wesleyan Made That Proposal in His Annual Address to College To-day

Middletown. Conn Sept eo--(UP) "A "recovery code" for colleges and students was suggested by President James l.. McConaughy, of Wesleyan university in his matric- uiation address at the opening of the university's 103d year today.
 Such . code, ho said, should lay emphasis upon tho needs of the group as opposed to those of tho Individual student. It would concern itself with tho welfare of higher education as Q whole rather than the needs of the individual institu- ton.
 An industrial code, according to Dr McConaughy, limits the max imum hours of work while colle- giate code should stress the minl- mum and students studying less should be considered shirkers. It Is his belief that 40-hour week for college students would bring req sonable academic success.
 The five-day week Is all right for industry. Dr McConaughy said, but at Wesleyan Saturday classes will be pushed more than in the past,
 A serious"leisure" problem was seen by Dr McConaughy, who pointed out that through shorter working hours would increase the demand for entertainment and amusement. Americans, he said, have relatively less ability to create their own pleasures than do people abroad.
