NEW YORK FIRM TO
 DO BUSINESS HERE
Rents Three Floors of Clock Shop Plant on
 Maple Street

Three floors of the former Crys- tai plant of the Waterbury Clock Company on Maple avenue have been leased to the Benrus Clock Company of New York. Operations are not expected to be started un- til late in February or early in March. The work of transporting machinery here from the New York and New Jersey is now being supervised. The establishment of a Benrus plant here may result in a demand for labor, but whether the company will transfer all it's oper- atlons here is question which has yet to be decided.
 There is no business rivalry be- tween the Benrus Company and the Waterbury Clock Company, it was officially stated to-day and there will be no competition for help when the new plant is ready to start production work.
 John R. Snyder, formerly of the Ingersoll Watch Company of Tren- ton and more recently of the Wa terbury Clock Company, will be the manager of the new plant. Ar engagements have been made for the local company to provide heat and power for the Benrus depart mentS.

REV CHARLES E.
 COUGHLIN SPOKE

Detroit, Jan 8-UP)-Congress must not sidestep the monetary is- sue and must assure the next gen eration the security of earning an honest livelihood and 'unfettered from shacklcs of financial slavery" Rev Father Charles F. Coughlin said in his Sunday sermon.
 Briefly" he said, 'It is a ques- ton as to whether or not money shall be used as a medium of control as. it has been or as a medium of exchange, as 1t should be-"
 This 73rd congress must erase from our vocabularles the most in- dieting phrase ever coined by the lips of men--a phrase expressed by those incomprehensible words: Want In the land of plenty"
 The present mental attitude of congress, he said, is one of timidity, (which, if persisted in. will nullify the progress of the past six months and becloud the optimistic outlook for the future"

ORDER ISSUED ON
 SALE OF LOVE BIRDS
Health Officer Godfrey Takes Steps to Be Sure
 Law Is Observed

Health Officer Dr E. J. Godfrey to-day instructed Milk and Food Inspector Dr Peter T. Keeley and his sanitary inspectors to begin an immediate check-up of stores and private individuals selling para keets, otherwise known as Hove birds" A new state health depart ment ruing, which goes into effect next Monday, absolutely forbidS the sale or transportation of tho birds. At the present time the sale or transportation of the birds Is permissible in Connecticut provid- ing the individuals or firms hand ling them have health department permits.
 The action for the new step on the part of the health officials is that the disease known as "psitta- cosis," which is passed around by the parrakeets, is highly contagious and results, to a large per cent. fin fatal results to human beings. Tho disease is contracted by cleaning the cages of the birds and so forth.
 There are several bird and pet stores in the city but 1t is gem erally believed that they will con- form with the ruling of the health department. However. the problem Will be to locate private indiVid- uals who raise the birds and sell them privately.
 Steps to eliminate the sale and transportation of the Hove birds" in Connecticut as Q whole were taken following a meeting of the Connecticut public health council in December at which time the SC. riousness of the spread of psitta- cosis was stressed. Dr Godfrey Is a member of the council.

PARIS PROPHET
 MAKES FORECAST
Predicts Several Things to This Country That Are
 Not Pleasing

Paris. Jan S.-UP)-Stirrlng events in the United States but of a sort not calculated to endear him to Americans, were predicted by Professor Raymond, leading Paris prophet. in his annual fore cast to-day.
 A major train wreck in Ohio, an earthquake somewhere in America and the sinking of a transatlantic liner in which some victims would most likely be Amer jeans were among the predictions.
 Professor Raymond predicted also war between the United States and Japan in 1948.
 He saw for 1887, an all em- bracing league of nations, in which every civilized country, including presumably the United States would be included.
 The professor, in private life Baron Telor De Kuranda, former Hungarian landowner. denies he has supernatural powers. He does 1t. he says, through unusual qualities of observation and deduc- ton, plus infallible intuition.

Judge Jen- nings quotes from the case tried by Judge Marvin and the finding of the supreme court, which up- held Judge Marvin. Judge Mar win held that the contract be- tween the firm and Gizzl was grossly negotiable because 1t was gotten by coercion and duress.,

 All just claims and even doubt full claims have thus far been set tied in members favor 100 per cent. There are no dues or fees paid by members as there are no expen- ses.
 Every suggestion of mem bers taken up by the executive commit tee for improved working condi- tions has been welcomed by the management and if 1t was found to be beneficial to the employees same was immediately put Into effect, sometimes at considerable cost to the company.
 The present management Is effi- cient and tolerant and insists on giving every employe fair deal. Accusations have been made that the company is forcing em- ployes to join this organiza tion but the truth of the matter Is that the management does not even know who the members are unless something is asked for particular members.
 It has never been compulsory for anyone to join this organization but q good many so-called union members have asked to join re- gently of their own accord. These employe have been working steadily through the shut down and tell us that they are tired of paying outsiders for making speeches and getting nothing.
 Any activity in securing new membership is done entirely by the association and it's members and not by the Waterbury Clock com pany.
 The future of the Waterbury Clock company looks very bright and we believe that our manage ment has the ability to put us on top.

LUTZ GIVES RULING ON
FEEDING OF PRISONERS
Provisions for Sheriff Fees No
Longer Exists, He Declares.

Bad news for sheriffs was con-
tanned today in the opinion given
by Attorney General Philip Lutz to
William CoSgrove, chief examiner
of the state board of accounts.
Mr.. LutZ held there no longer are
provisions under the 1885 acts for
sheriff fees in the feeding of priS-
oners. and that bills must be sub
mitted and paid by the state. For
merly many sheriffs received a 40
cents per diem a prisoner, fed them
for much less and proited by the
remainder.
