Borough Town Hall
 Is Deserted To-day Naugatuck Experiences Worst Snow Storm in Recent
 Years-AI Factories Closed
NAUGATUCK
Vm. J. Baxter. Correspondent.

Naugatuck was today struggling through and out of the worst snow storm that has hit the borough in many years. The snow was three feet deep and in many places had drifted to five feet high while even bigger drifts could be seen.
 All factories in the borough were closed today, many stores were closed this morning although some remained open and virtually all ac- tivities ceased for part of the day at least. There were no sessions of either the public or parochial schools this morning. No mail was received at the post office.
 Early today the Town Hall, the seat of municipal activity was vir- tually deserted. Superintendent of Welfare N. Hadley Cox being the only official aside from Janitor John Stephenson at the Town Hall at 9:30. Prosecuting Attorney Martin l.. Caine was on the job but although court had been sched- uled, none was held. Apparently Deputy Judge Hugh Hearns felt this kind of day was tough enough anyhow without having to make it more disagreeable for the defendants.
 Trolley service was disrupted un- til at Feast Il o'clock this morning A trolley blow went off the tracks early this morning near the light at the corner of Maple street and Main street and had not been removed up to Il o'clock.
 It was a wonderful day for the pedestrian who had the energy and courage to venture out. There were virtually handful of cars on the roads and the middle of the high way was safe for pedestrians. In

the local club here in Pythian hall. The subject of her talk was Fed eratton Aaffirs."
 There is by the best organized crime system in this country, and the average citizen regards with indifference or tacit acceptance, she stated.
 To counteract such a condition she proposed that a patriotic cere- mony for young people to make them realize fully their respon- sibility as citizens be held annually. She believes the same should be done for aliens who become citi- zens.
 She warned of the menace of the public school system disinte- grating, saying that silicing of educational appropriations is in- turing the type of education the youth of the nation is now re- ceiving.
 She was warm in her praise of the local club saying it had an ex- cellent record since it's beginning here two years ago. She praised the officers for the fine work and also the organizers of the society. She urged women to interest themselves in politics to the extent that they SC that ward politics are kept clean. If each ward is clean the upper structure of the political machine will be clean, she as- serted.
 Prior to the meeting reception was rendered the national head at the home of Mrs Donald McCullen, Millville avenue. Mrs Tracy Noble chairman of the hospitality com mittee, was in charge.2 Mrs Char les Daly and Mrs Edward Johnson | served the tea.

fact the only beaten paths were in the center of the road in most places.
 However the snow blow got to work this morning under the di- rection of Street Superintendent Victor Anderson but was having heavy going because of the huge drifts which had been piled up by the icy wind last night.
 However the main sections of the town were passable but not for autos in many places. There was no work on the regular CWA out side jobs of course but CWA men were being used in the removal of the snow. However Pierce Free man and his painters were up early continuing their work of beautify- ing the Town Hall.
 No collisions were reported at the police station but several cars were reported stranded on the highways by local persons from Waterbury to New Haven.
 Frank McKenna of Waterbury proved a good samaritan to one group of local residents, bringing them safely home after they were forced to abandon their car in Bethany in the wee small hours.
 There were some office work CTS at their tasks in the local cen- tral office but the majority were home unable to come to the office. Many boys and men were out shoveling the, snow and finding their task most laborious one.
 Telephone operators were rushed with phone calls today and were handicapped because of the fact some could not come to work, be- ing snowbound. Residents were re- minded of the blizzard of '88 but it was generally agreed by persons who remembered that snowfall that this could not be compared with the one of years ago.
 Trains were held up hours this morning one due around seven passing through here after and another due at 4:52 this morning was still at Ansonia snowbound at 1O:15 today. However there were few passengers. Bus service was held up. The police were on the job as usual but many per- sons commented on the irony of q policeman being in the traffic booth at Main street when there was so little traffic this morning. How ever the necessity of one being there was apparent.
 All sorts of business was. tied up. Residents took the snow more or less philosophically agreeing that this added the crowning touch to one of the worst winters Nauga- tuck has had in many years. It should be a help to the local rub Der industry however for the storm was reported general.
 It was still showing today but not as heavily. Last night a fierce wind helped the snow to pile up in short order. When it began most residents because of the warm

 Weeks DeIiberatiOn

An increase of two cents an hour in the wages of some 1,200 em- ployes of the Connecticut company ha sbeen voted by the board of ar- bitration, which has had the ques- ton of adjusted salaries under consideration for several weeks. The increase is retroactive, effec- tive June l, 1883. The employees had asked for an increase of to IS cents an hour and the company countered with a proposal to re- duce wages per cent. Evidence was introduced showing that the compnay's earnings had greatly decreased.
 Judge F. B. O'Sullivan of the su- perior court was selected to repre- sent the trolleymen; Joseph F. Barry of Hartford acted as the companyl's representative, while Judge Robert l.. Munger of the courtof common pleas in New Ha- ven was chosen as the neutral member of the board. The result of the hearings is re- garded. as a compromise. Judge Munger in announcing the boards decision stated that Tabor is en- titled to something more than living"
 The Waterbury division of the Connecticut company includes 119 employees, who will benefit by the increase.

,Woodmen of the World here, were pleased to learn that he has been named president of the newly or ganized W. O. W. activities club of Connecticut and Rhode Island. The organization meeting was held in Waterbury Sunday. The so- ciety will sponsor special activities such as field days, etc, in the two states. Delegates from camps in the both states were present.
 That the local men should be selected for this high honor shows the regard in which he is held in the state body. He was one of the most active members of the local society for many years and is quite popular in town.
 Short talks were given by Mir Weaving, Alec Mccarthy, present commander here at the meeting.
 Party Enjoyed.
 Despite the snow the members of the Meadowbrook Social club night enjoyed theater party at Shubert's in New Haven and a dinner afterward. A fine time was had by the members, but it was felt that the next such affair will be held in the balmy summer time.
 Those who attendad the party were: The Misses Sally Beardsley, Mary Moroney, Mrs John Synnott, John Synnott, George Kennedy, Christopher Moroney, all of Mea- dow street, and w. J. Baxter of Frederick street.
 Named On Team.
 Naugatuck friends of King Clancy, famous hockey and former Reorganization may be interested to learn he has ben selected as left defense man on an all-star team picked by James A. Burchard, au- thor of Passing the Puck" column in the New York World-Telegram. Clancy now plays with Toronto and is rated as one of the best defense men now playing hockey.
 There were no fires last night and firemen today hoped there would be none today because they spent most of their energy, led by Chief Thomas Walker, clearing the sno wtoday from in front of the fire house where huge drifts had piled up.

weather, the morning being almost spring g-like, thought it would turn into rain shortly but the wise ones pointed to the fact the sun was quite red which according to the prophets means usually that a snow storm is near at hand. None pre- dicted that the town would get such storm, as far as could be learned.
 Some of the town residents for whom Washington's birthday will not be a holiday, feel Mother Ma ture is on their side in giving them a vacation this week anyhow. It will be many days before the traces of this snow have vanished and it will take some time to remove the snow generally.

By a Worker Correspondent

AMBRIDGE, Pa.-The Jones g.
Laughlin Steel Corp. has workers
going in the mill every day to get
one day a week, and some workers
travel and drive from a distance of
20 miles. They spend more money
in going back and forth than the
money they earn in two days that
they work.
The bosses still try to scare the
workers from organization by de-
claring that if they join the union
there will be no work. OF course
there is no work now.
On Aug. %, there was a little
accident in which one Negro was
in car with his family. There
was another car in front of him
driven by white man on this
cross street. This white man
stopped and so did the Negro be-
hind him but this Negro must have
had bad brakes, with the result
that the Negroes car slid and hit
the rear of the other car and bent
the bracket which holds the extra
tire slightly inward. The COL
ored man got out of his car and
excused himself in a gentle way
and helped to straighten the bend
with another man. While they
were working, one dirty rat of a
cop came and grabbed the Negro
in back of both shoulders. He
acted like wild dog to that Door
man and took him to the Jail. That
shows you comrades how dirty
these police in this town are.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

How to Live with Heart Trouble
Mrs. ]. ", South Bend.-It is
rather difficult to answer your
satisfactorily without a little more
information. We would like to
know the following; % your age;
(2) are you subject to frequent
colds or sore Threats, or to "rheu-
matte" pains in muscles and points,
especially in cold and wet weather;
(3) are the pains in your back and
arm of which you complain, sharp,
severe and constructing, coming on
in attacks brought on especially by
exertion; az does your heart give
you other warning signals as de-
scribed below?
According to the doctor you saw,
you have rheumatic heart disease.
You need not worry about this
finding; a pulse rate Of so is with
in limits. In heart disease, the
important thing is. how much work
can the heart do? How easily
does one get out of breath? Does
one get a severe attack of angina
(constricting chest pain radiating
typically down the left arm,
brought on by exertion)? Is the
heart unable to keep up with its
days work of pushing the blood
around the body, so hat by evening
fluid collects in the tissues Of the
feet and legs. If so. the sensible
thing to do is to take account Of
these facts, and regulate ones life
accordingly. Avoid the necessity Of
hurrying; take stairs slowly; so far
as possible, try to get in rest
periods" to permit the heart to
catch up. If you heed the warn
ing signals the heart gives you,
you can continue happy and use
fuI life within those limits.

NEW YORK.-A couple of
weeks ago, due to pressure from
the general membership, the Brook
lyn Edison local of the Brother
hood of Utility Employees of Amer
lea threatened a strike. The main
issue was the discharge of three
BU.E. members on a frame-up
charge. These men were Donegan
Nicely and Organ Donegan is
chairman Of the local.
The first step by the officials of
the local wsS to appeal to the Re-
gional Labor Board. Mrs. Herrick,
after one Of her notorious CON
terences. denied the appeal of the
union.
The membership Of the B. U. f.
was very much worked up. They
elected Grievance Committee to
deal with company officials and
all governmental boards This COM
miCtee was also empowered to take
2 strike vote, In other words. the
Brotherhood rank and file was all
set to turn off all of Brooklyn's
electrical power.
The officials Of the Brotherhood
was all set to run out on the three
discharged men. They were afraid
of q strike. In earlier meetings
they had made dirty remarks about
the ultra communists" who be-
lieve in the class struggle. In this
particular case. they were forced.
by the rank and file, to recognize
the existence of The class struggle.
By sheer mass pressure of the
rank and file, the case of the three
discharged men was made a real
issue. The Regional Labor Board
was forced to reinstate the three
employees. Otherwise, the men of
Hudson Ave. generating station
would have thrown the switches
and walked out. Men in other de-
partments refused to volunteer Tor
Scabbing.
This is the first real victory of
the B.UE. The moral is that all
Brooklyn Edison employees should
join the Brotherhood and fight to
make it q rank and file union.
At the height of the struggle. the
Brooklyn Edison Communist Unit
issued leaflets demanding the rein
statement of the three B.U.E. men.
and urging all workers to unity
their forces by joining the Brother
| hood. Without the influence and
counsel of the Communist Unit, the
Brotherhood membership would
never have broken through the red
tape of reformist bureaucracy.
This single victory of the B.UE
shows the breakdown of the COM
pany union and the power Of rank
and file action. The company
union has not won one demand OF
the workers. while the B. U. E.
backed by the determined voice OF
a few organized workers has won
& signal victory.
We must Join the Brotherhood
fight for unconditional union rec
ognition, and press our other de-
mands. Both union and company
officials must realize that We are
rot organizing for our health bun
for improved working conditions.

IN THE HON E
Lover of Fairness Will Get His Wish!
BY HELEN LUKE

From a domestic worker OF Mil
waukee came a letter as follows:
Dear Miss Luke:
Il have been advised by one
comrade to write to you for some
information about the Domestic
Workers Union, which I heard eX-
listed in New York, as I am do
nestle worker myself and tried
here to organize the girls, but it
seems impossible to get them TO do
anything for themselves.
But I will not give up yet and
7 hope you do me a favor to send
me some information about it. AL
though I have never been interested
in anything outside my home and
work, and never dreamed about
Communism or any other political
party, in these days of struggle 1
have to admit that I awoke last
March to the fact that I always
have been born Communist with
out knowing it. OF course I have
to go slow for while, but I am
sure I am on the right road, which
plenty of the comrades in Mil
waukee will admit if questioned. 1
am sure of that.
Dear Miss Luke, how it is that
the domestic workers don't have
any reports in this paper? Of course
I myself cannot afford to buy any
paper regularly now, but never
heard anything about it.
Il am sending this article hope
you print it for the good of some
slave drivers in case they see it.
Sincerely,
