CHURCH SERVICE 'LARECLY ATTENDED
Immaculate COncep tiO n Too Small for Evening
 WOrshipperS

Because there is nothing unusual in large attendances at the churches the public hears little or nothing of such things, but just the same folks who were about the center last night could not help noticing the number of people who attend ed the opening of the novena at the Immaculate Conception church. We'll, those who thought there nev- CT were so many in the edifice at one time. before, missed seeing the congregations that have crowded that curch every evening for sev--. eral weeks. The noon service at this church also draws large num- bers of worshippers from different parts of the city.
 When the new Immaculate Con- ception church was being built some thought it was too large, but those who have been attending the evening services there the past few weeks and failed to find seats feel that the capacity of the building should have been much greater than it is. Anyway, attendance at these devotions is an evidence that no matter what some may say, a very considerable number are mindful of the future state.

PUBLIC INTERESTED
 IN MILK QUESTION
As UusuaI the Burden Will Fall on the Con-
 Sumers

Consumers of milk and this in- cludes everybody who can pay the price, are wondering where they will get off when the pro- ducers and dealers agree on terms. if they ever do. MIX is.a com modity that enters into living expenses probably more than any thing else, except bread. If you have to economize on the use or milk, children and everybody else are bound to suffer. The price IS high enough now, too high for most consumers, and the aim should be to put it within the reach of all at as low a figure as possible.
 In the opinion of some, more interest is centered in extracting the best things in milk for other purposes than for use in the aver age home, and argue that if this business keeps on householders will be lucky if they get anything bet ter than the skinned article.
 It is a big question. People were able to get around the pro- hibition law. Those who wanted liquor could make 1t themselves, and manage to get along nicely on their own product, but with milk such a thing is out of the question, so that while many are not taking much stock in the discussion about milk, it means more to the aver age man and women than prohi- bition, which created such indigna- tion all over the nation that the public longed for an opportunity to show disapproval of the law, now about to be wiped out of existence.

TRANSFERS HEAR
 FRANK CROWTHER
Local Drivers Attend New Haven Meeting-Elec-
 tiOns Kept Secret

Many Waterburians were among the 500 members of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Help CTS of America who assembled in New Haven yesterday to hear re- ports by their business agent, Frank E. Crowther. The union, elected officers, but for reasons of it's own, did not make the names public.
 Crowther told of his activities during the past week, in which he presented 12 cases of alleged agree ment violations by members of the Eastern Motor Conference, with which the union arbitrated some time ago, to the arbitration board. Crowther is also expected to pre- sent about ten more cases of al- legged agreement violations to the arbitration board.
 The question of the statust of drivers under the over-the-road clause of the agreement will also be taken up at the meeting. Crow ther said the arbitration board will hear both matters at a meeting which will be held in Hartford at noon today or tomor- row. He said he expected to learn the time of the meeting this morn ing.
 The over r-the-road clause has been the subject of much contro- versy. The truck owners say it means a driver on an overnight trip, while the union claims 1t means drivers who leave the subur- ban district of the city or town out of which they are operating. An over-the-road driver gets a much higher rate of pay per hour.
