Spokane, Wash. (UP).-Senator Clarence c. Dill of Washington has had enough of public life!
 His "farewell' to politics was given in a statewide radio ad- dress in which he said he would not be a candidate to succeed himself this fall for the demo- cratic nomination.
 ''It is my present intention never to seek public office again, but as a sovereign citizen, reserve the right to change my mind should an occasion arise to justify that, he said.
 Observers and numerous candi- dates, who have filed since his speech, wondered if that occasion might arise when President Roose- welt visits Grand Coulee Dam Aug. 4. k
 Senator Dill was considered by many to have been one of the driving forces in the presidents order including the project in the federal public works act.
 In reviewing his senatorial ca reer the senator said there was no other office in this government outside the White House that he would accept Gin preference to a seat in the United States senate"
 He likened the senate to a featherbed - "the longer a man stays in it, the deeper he sinks and the more difficult it becomes to get out of it."
 ''If he stays there long enough, no other place is quite so soft,

The final score was Is | to 12 and the .contest was one of the most dramatic of the current season.
 The Waterville team found the offerings of Lefty O'Dea, brilliant St Thomas Seminary hurler, much | to their liking in the opening frame and had scored five runs be- fore the game was hardly under way.
 The Oakville team came back ] with a pair of runs. In the third inning WaterYille scored three times and OakVille twice.

Then Matthews, who was on the mound for Water vile, weakened and the Oakville scoring spree started. Matthews was yanked and Edmond substi- tuted, ut the dusky Naugatuck pitcher fared little better as base hits continued to roll off Oakville bats and runs crossed the plate. It final remained for the old reliable George Blinn, to assume the pitch ing burden and to finally check the attack but not until eight runs had been scored and the margin of vic- tory reduced to a single run. Blinn made two of the sixteen safe hits credited to Waterville-both of them home runs-and drove in five runs. "Dinty'' Moore led the bat ting attack with three safe hits; triple and two singles, McMullen and Oliver each made a double and a single, Sugrue, a triple and Jar wis and White a home run and a single each. The Oakville batters made fourteen hits off the three lWaterville pitchers.

FASTENER GROUP.
 SPONSORS PICNIC
Fifty Employees Enjoy Out= ing Saturday at Lake
 COmpOunCe

About 50 persons, members of the American Fastener company of Waterbury, journeyed to Lake Compounce Saturday afternoon to enjoy a chicken dinner. The party was in charge of Ernest Conte.
 More than 5000 members of the employees association of the Seam- less Rubber company of New Ha- ven, together with their families, held their annual outing Saturday at Lake Compounce, Bristol. Head ed by state police motorcycle es- cort, forty-five busses and several hundred private cars made a most impressive sight as they paraded from New Haven to the lake. When the busses had finished parking they extended from one end of the huge roller coaster to the other. It was without doubt one of the larg- est delegations ever to attend an affair of this sort at Connecticut's popular resort.
 The committee in charge of the outing consisted of S. J. Condon, general chairman, R. Baird, S. H. Knoll, N. E. Harris, l.. E. Coniff. w. Malone and D. Bennett.
 During the Qay SWlHnInlnS, udnC- ing and athletic events were en- joyed, together with the various rides and concessions at the park. At 12:3O a palatable luncheon was served in the Egyptian grill.
 The sports program in charge of D. Bennett created considerable enthusiasm. It was comprised of several events including baseball game between the single men and the benedicts. Suitable prizes were awarded to the winners of each event and the party left for home at o'clock.
 Approximately 100 girls, mem- bers of the Children of Mary from St Boniface church in New Haven held an outing at Lake rCompounce Sunday. A basket lunch was served at noon and the afternoon was spent enjoying the rides and con- sessions and especially the swim ming. The party was in charge of Anna WirtZ.

HIS GRACIOUS GIFT

HIS GRACIOUS GIFT Of all the gifts the Lord does give, Der which our thoughts do lightly leap. The least cherished in this life we i've, Is His gracious gift-the gift of sleep. To heroes-courage- -whate'er might befall A poets pen praise does reap Whether poets or heroes His gift to all Is His gracious gift-the gift of sleep. This world is full of dreary noises, Of fortunes lost, the mourners weep. And given to hush the wailing voices Is His gracious gift-the gift of sleep. And when friend has passed away, Beside his grave-bear up-don't weep. For the Lord has brought to him to stay His gracious gift-the gift of sleep.

OIL WORKERS
Again Demand Removal Of
Amos L. Beatty

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-The In
ternational Association of Oil Field,
Gas Well and Refinery Workers has
again asked the removal of Judge
Amos L. Beatty from the planning and
coordination committee of the petrol
cum code. The union seeks Beaty's
removal on the ground that his firm,
the Phillips Petroleum Company, is
an outstanding violator Of the oil code.
In reply to defense of Beatty by
the oil company, President H. C.
Fremming, of the union, issued state
ment saying:
"Mr. Phillips follows the usual
procedure of drawing herring across
the trail. His attempt at defense of
Judge Beatty is an example of artful
lodging of real issues.
"No attack was made upon Judge
Beatty, who is very estimable gen.
tleman and doubtless capable in his
position as counsel for the Phillips
Petroleum Company. Our objection to
him is not personal.
'My letter to Secretary Ickes simply
pointed out the impropriety of the
general counsel for an oil company
that was most fragrant violator of
the petroleum code, occupying the
weirdly anomalous position of chair
man of a co-ordinating committee
presumably formed for the purpose
of enforcing the provisions of that
code, and at the same time as a di-
rector and adviser to the most persist
ent violator in the industry.
The Phillips Petroleum Company's
persistent violations of the recovery
act are notorious. The intimidations,
coercions and interference have been
known to the officials. The records
of the Labor Policy Board will sup
port this statement.

Company is the outstanding violator
of the recovery law, and we chal-

records.
"We are firm in our contention that
the planning and coordination COM
mittee should not have in it's person
mel anyone connected in an official
way with concern that has shown
determination to nullify and defeat
President Roosevelt's plans for indus

STEEL co.
Drops Fight on Section Ia

Washington, D. c.. ILNS)-The
Worth Steel Company of Claymont,
DEL, has abandoned it's plan of con-
testing the constitionality of Sec
tion Ia of the recovery act "at this
time,' the Steel Labor Relations
Relations Board announces. The COM
pany will reinstate John r.. Slater, a
member of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Wrkers.
The union charged Slater was dis
charged for union activity, while the
company contended he was inefficient.
The agreement followed hearing
on the unions complaint about Sla-
ter's dismissal. The Worth Company
contended at the hearing both the la
Dor clause in the recovery act and
the resolution under which the steel
board was set up was unconstitution-
al. The company also challenged the
right of the board to take jurisdiction
in the Slater case. Slater is to be re-
instajed as a finisher in the sheet mill
without prejudice to his future ad-
vancement and with no future dis
elimination against him."

Pay Increase Averts
Gotham Truck Strike

New York City (ILNS)-Granting
of wage increase of $5 weekly has
averted a threatened strike of 10000
truck drivers here The settlement
followed a conference between lead
ers of employers and employees
groups with members of the Regional
Labor Board.
The wage increase was asked by
four local unions of the international
Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauf-
feurs, who pointed out that they took
a $5 pay cut Is months ago because OF
bad business conditions. They ar
gued that business had now improved
sufficiently to warrant restoration OF
the cut.

Workers Army Out to Win, Strike Leader Declares AS
Officers Lose Heads and Shoot Down Workers in

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-As
President Roosevelt appointed a
board of three to investigate the ma
tional textile strike and report back
to him not later than October /, ten
strikers were shot and killed in the
South. Scores Of others were wounded.
Meanwhile, the strike continued to
sweep forward with irresistible mo-

CHILDREN WEAR
Industry Plans to Cut Hours
and Increase Pay

Washington, D. G. ILNS)-The
national recovery administration has
announced that the code authority OF
the infants and children's wear indus
try has indicated that it would ap-
prove a reduction of the industry's
work hours from 40 TO SO, accompan-
led by 10 per cent increase in hourly
wage rates.
This change will be principal re-
suit of extended conferences which
have taken place between the code
authority and Division Administrator
Sol A. Rosenblatt, dealing with the
industry's problems.
The wage and hour change prob
ably will take place about October
Is, and will bring this industry into
line with the great majority of gar
ment manufacturing lines, which have
been working at or near the 36-hou1
limit. This is the second industry in
this line to negotiate on such modi-
fication of it's code.
To prevent "undue hardship" in in.
dividual cases, the NRA says, the
change is to be accomplished, under
the agreement now being negotiated
by creation of all exemptions commit
tee within the industry. This group
will have full power to grant eXcep
tions in cases where justice to firm
requires it, and it's action will become
effective without delay. The recovery
administration will reserve the right
to disapprove any exemption sc
granted, if evidence shows it to be
unjustified.
