The International Association of Machinists from it's headquarters in Washington has assigned Fred Ce- derholm one of it's Grand Lodge Representatives to take charge of the campaign to thoroughly repre- sent the toolmakers and machinisks of Waterbury. Cederholm is from Bridgeport and until his appoint ment as 0 grand lodge representa- tive was the president of the Bridgeport Central Labor Union. At one time he was on the organ ized staff of the International As- sociation of Machinists with Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone and for many years co-worker with John L. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. Cederholm has held various posi- tions in the labor movement and disputes in many parts of the coun- try. gs
 Cederholm stated: "Every intel ligent worker today understands that the only hope of securing inn provements in their working condi- tions, and just compensation rests entirely With themselves as col lective body, and the efforts of the individual unorganized are futile in secupring satisfactory results"
 It is not the purpose of the In- ternational Association of Ma chinists to impose unfair condi- tions upon the manufacturers of Waterbury and the fair employer knows that. There are however, some employers who are not play ing fair, chiseling and violating codes, and the machinists local upion 1885, through it's executive committee arc urging their mem- bers and any factory workers to immediately report any violation such as working the help beyond hours or not paying the wages, to the representative of the union, and proper steps will be taken to force any unfair employer to live up to the code.

TRUMPETER STIRS BUNKER HILL MEN
Latest Mystery to Be Solved By Mems League
 Friday Night

Bunker Hill section of our fair city was recently "hot and bother ed" over an alleged nudist colony l in the wooded section bordering on Bunker Hill and Oakville avenues This has been pretty well investi- gated or to be more explicit look ed into" by Sam Lincoln, presi- dent of the Bunker Hill Improve ment association. He recomm ends the wearing of colored glasses if one has occasion to go hiking
 through the outskirts of Bunker Hill.
 But what about the new mystery, Not another nudist colony but this time, a mysterious lady trumpeter. Some of those who have heard tho | melodious notes have investigated but so far have been unable to see her or learn her identity. The re- port that it is a lady comes from some of the members of the Bunk CT Hill Mems League band who l promise she will appear at the ] Bunker Hill church Friday evening, | April goth when "Our Village Band" will be presented.
 The Mems League, so called. Is famous for it's lady musicians. Some have suggested a more ap- propriate name for the band 1t Is feared this would remove the at- traction? Some have gone so far as to say that the attraction works
 both ways and 1t looks as though they are right, at lease there must
 be same special reason for the high attendance at the band rehearsals. The mysterious lady trumpeter is said to be brunette. medium height but generously proportioned. Her beautiful suntan complexion, waistline slightly greater than common and feet rather large are such as one acquires through free dom in the open and there lies the question. Come to think, Dick Fisher did report having heard the |.mysterious trumpeting in the VI cinity of the alleged nudist cult.

Antidotes for Unhappiness

Any intelligent person with ade- quate patience and energy can work out antidotes for unhappi- ness to fit his own particular situ- ation. This plan for restoring equi-f librium and peace need not be complicated. either. I know peo- pie who can overcome depression that might otherwise go on for days simply by leaving their prob lems behind and taking a long. brisk walk in the open air.
 Others get the same result by going away for while from their, workaday world into that other world of hobbies-fishing reading, stamp-collecting. tapestry making. carpentry, whatever it is that they have fun doing.
 The point is that if you can once get your mind completely off specific trouble, 1t never after wards seems so dreadful. And if once you form the habit of not allowing yourself to be tossed about by destiny as if you were shuttlecock, you have come a good part of the way toward achieving that will O the wisp, happiness.

Happiness Among Rich
 and Poor

It is easy enough to say that money or health or the lack of them makes for or against happi- ness, but the truth is that there are certain rich men who, so far as an outsider can judge, are happier than some poor men, and vice versa.
 And there are invalids who ap- pear to know more about the good life than many who radiate health; physically fit spe ecimens who sccm always cheery and ailing ones who are always gloomy.
 Evidently these classihcations have little to do with the case. Nor. so far as the psychologists and philosophers have been able to discover, does much of anything else that is outside ourselves. The degree of happiness possessed by any individual is thus in direct proportion to the extent of his in- ner resources.

Warm Flights In Offins For The
Different County Offices.

The stage is all set for the pri-
maries in the county district and
state to be held Saturday.
A complete list of the various
state, county and district candi-
dates was carried in The Watch
man last week.
Prediction of a large vote
in North Cardinals primary Sat-.
urday despite the fact that there is
only one statewide office at stake
came from the State Board of Elec-
Itions as candidates in the district
and local fights entered the last
laps of their campaigns.
Because of the unusual interest
in the district and local battles,
the board estimated Saturdays vote
would equal if not surpass the num-
Der of ballots cast in each of the
two 1882 primaries when senatorial
and gubernatorial nominations
brought out 100000 and 100000
votes, respectively.
Warm fights for Democratic

of the states II districts. judicial
contests in five districts and six
solicitors.
Conflicts in addition to close
battles in many of the states 100
counties for legislative and local
offices are expected to draw voters
to the polls by the thousands if fair
weather prevails.
The only statewide office being
contested is that of utilities COM
with Stanley Winborne,
the incumbent, being opposed by E..
Macon of Asheville, in the Dem
tocratic primary.
Only one Republican nomination
will be at stake, the solicitorship
of the seventeenth judicial district,
John R. Jones, the states only Re-
publican solicitor, is being opposed
for denomination by F. J. McDuf-
.fie. All other Republican candi-
dates who were named in conven-
tons and are without opposition,
will be automatically nominated
under the states primary law.
Each of the states 10 present
congressman is seeking renomina-
ton, and Lindsay Warren of the
first district, Walter Lambeth CT
the eighth, and R. L. Doughton OF
tie ninth, will be nlmed without
opposition.
A five-cornered battle is being
waged for the Democratic nomi-
nation ip the fourth district, where
a vacancy exists because of the
recent death of Representative Ed
ward w. Pou. His son, George
Ross Pou, former Stae's prison SUI

Whiting Certain Governmeni
Agency Will Find Abundance
OF Metal In N. c..

The movement started in Char
lotte by A. B. Whiting and Others
to establish a gold recovery plant
has resulted in a decision by the
United States Geological survey tc
conduct a complete and minute
survey of the Southern Appalachi-
ans to determine the extent of gold
deposits and the feasibility of
such plants.
When application was made
by the Charlotte hackers of the
plan! to the Public Works admins
tration for government aid, Sena-
tor Robert R. Reynolds of Ashe-
Vile upon communicating with Mr..
Whiting, became deeply interest
ed, and urged that government aid
be extenned in establishing a gold
recovery plant.
He laid the matter before w. c.
Mendenhall, director of the Geo.
logical Survey, personally, who
promised to take action that would
approach governmental co-opera-
rion.
In a communication to the SEN
ator, Director Mendenhall says that
PWA has a small sum that may be
used for gold recovery plants, but
that before the geological agency
can give its approval to any plan,
that it has been decided to make a
survey to learn the extent of gold
deposits, and how far the govern
ment can go in cooperation. To
this end, a survey has started and
if government aid is justified by
findings, the geological agency will
be glad to make any recommends
ton that will promote the indus
try. 1t is also revealed by the di-
rector to Senator Reynolds that
strong capitalists are also making
surveys, which may result in de-
cided developments of the gold in
dustry in the Southern Appalach-
ians.
