FEDERATION OF LABOR IN SECOND
 CONVENTION DAY
Delegates Heard Governor Cross Last Night-Elec-
 ton Comes Thursday

New Britain, Conn, Sept 5-(UP) The Connecticut Federation of Labor convention went into it's sec ond day with the promised cooper ation of Gov Wilbur l.. Cross in the fight for 40-hour week and old age pension. Addressing the dele- gates l ast night the governor warned that reduction in working hours was necessary land the. ques- ton comes. how far are hours to be reduced?
 T think it is a mistake to ask for too great reduction. Connec- ticut is ready to cooperate in q movement to reduce the number of hours to 40. It may be just the first step in the adjustment that is nec- essary, but at least it will be a step" Solution of the problem de- pends, he said, on "opening wrold markets for our goods"
 Unemployment insurance and labor bills and an old age pension measure which the governor sub- mitted to the legislature last ses- sion, and which were in sympathy with the federation's program. he said, were killed by the republican majority in the house. He urged labor's support In obtaining this legislation at the coming session.
 A. batch of resolutions were to be taken up today, including those affecting social and labor reforms, uniform hours for sale of liquor; ratification of the child labor amendment by the state: allocation of the gasoline tax to cities and towns for highway construction and erection of additional institu- tions to care for insane and tuber- cular.
 Election of officers will be held tomorrow. There were reports of a pending housekeeping in the fed eration and the ousting of Arthur Wallace as president and John J. Egan as secretary. J.

 The plant employs about 80 knitters, half of them men and it is these who failed to report to work this afternoon. Leaders fo the strikers claimed late this af- ternoon that the girl knitters would likewise go on strike, asking more than their present 32 cents an hour Die workers in the plant will also be asked to join in the strike.
 No Others Affected
 Up to late this afternoon, the Princeton strike had not had any effect on other plants in this sec tion. The WaLertown Undergar- ment company. engaged in diff ferent type of manufacture. is not expected to be affected by the Princeton walkout.
 The Princeton factory has a full employment of about 120 men and women, all of whom will be asked to quit their jobs by the striking knitters until wage ad- justment has been made.
 Strikers told The Democrat this afternoon that they are satisfied with their present working sched- ule, 36 hours a week, but want their pay increased to the Accent figure.
 Vote To Remain Away
 The strikers held meeting in Watertown today and voted to re- main away from work until their demands are met in full. They were confident this afternoon that the strike would in a day or two affect so many of the plants workers that operations could not be continued on a normal basis.
 Todays strike announcement was the first touch which Water bury has. had of the industrial un- rest which eliminated in the na- tional textile strike Rumors of un- rest in this vicinity have been widespread but the walk-out today was the first actual sign of strife between employer and employe in this part of the state.
 No Immediate Plans.
 The striking knitters today had planned no immediate steps a. gainst the company except for the efforts to force complete. walk out. They intimated that picketing of the plant might be begun later in the week.
 H. Fleischer. general manager or the plant, said it was news to him that the night crew would not report this evening. He said there are about 11S employed at the plant, including the day and night shifts. Between. 20 and 20 report at 10 o'clock each evening he said, for the night work.
 "I can't see what the men ex- pect to gain by going out on strike. If the report is true." MT Fleisher added, explaining that his company is engaged solely in the knitting business which is in no way con. nected with the so-called textile strike.
 He said the company would con. tinue to operate as long as 1t has enough hands to carry on normal operations.
 He said, that the mems commit tee had conferred with him this

New York, Sept 5-(UP)-A little more confident attitude came into Wall street today and share prices were pushed forward as much as points.
 Trading continued dull, how ever, with total volume only slightly improved over yesterday s dreary session.
 The confidence could be attri- buted to no particular cause but accompanied improvement in grain and cotton markets and announce ment that President Roosevelt will appoint mediation board in an attempt to settle the textile strike. There were no particularly en- |couraging business reports although the New York Telephone Company reported the seasonal upturn Tn station installations became mo- ticeable in the latter half of Au- gust.
 Wheat gained more than 2 cents a pushed and other grains gained correspondingly. Cotton advanced about 50 cents a bale. U. s. Gov ernment Bonds, however, continued to ease off in fairly heavy trad ing.
 Railroad shares and mining stocks were among the better gain CTS in the stock market. A mid session surge of power in the rail group carried leaders up as much as points, Union Pacific going above 100. Atchison was 4 higher at 52% and New York Gen. tral was more than a point im- proved at 22H. Southern Pacific and Southern Railways each gained a point.

ably the punishment of their lead CTS. Thus, politics making strange bedfellows, the communists have buried their differences with the socialists, and are making common cause.
 Stranger still, perhaps, is the swing of Catholic votes away from the German front. They distrust the Nazis, and quite naturally they have nothing in common with so- cialists or communists. Yet many feel their interest lies in joining the German opposition.
 Socialists and communists have II representatives on the Saar ad- vistory council which assists the governing commission in it's ad- ministrative work. The Deutsche front has 19 seats.
 The most important factor, how ever, seems to be the religious issue. Nearly every person inter- viewed by the United Press corr respondent admitted the attitude of the Catholics may determine the future of the Saar. The Catholics compose almost 75 per cent of the population. From the very begin. ming of Adolf Hitler's difficulties Wltn the CatnOnc cnurcn Tn Gcr- many, the priests of the Saar have denounced the alleged intention of the Nazis to take the training of youths out of the hands of the church, and have condemned the supposed "heathen theology" which Is popuIarly supposed to be behind the principles of Nazism. These denunciations have doubled since the blood purge" of June 30, in which two prominent Catholics. pr Klausener and pr Probst, lost their lives.

WOOL MARKET.

Boston. Sept. 5-(UP)-An oc- casional woolen manufacturer, not affected by the strike, is showing a little interest in secured woolen wools, but they are not taking any substantial quantities, according to today's report of the U. s. agri- culture department.
 Few worsted manufacturers are even inquiring for wools. Regard less of whether theyare effected by the strike at the moment. many manufacturers have stated that they are not interested in buying wool now because of the uncer- tainty over the labor situation in the textile industries.

 Call for More Men
 At the time of Trooper O'Toole's s shooting, Lieutenant Schatzman rounded up all the state policemen available. It was the first time in the annals of the state police that an emergency call was flashed out over the state for all availa ble men to report for the search of a murderer.
 Lieutenant Schatzman also called for volunteers from Waterbury That afternoon, the message was broadcast over Station WATR. That evening score or more of candidates, attired in various types of clothing adaptable for forest service reported at the Yuskic home and concentrated search was negotiated without results.
 The fact that there is now $500 offered to anyone capturing Crow, is likely to act as an incentive for many local young men who are un- employed. Those wishing to join in the search, are instructed to get in touch with the state police at Wolcott

Tilden's troupe is private enterprise
and in no way connected with the ma

"Tilden holds the national indoor
professional title, won at the tourna-
ment this Winter in Philadelphia" said
Allen.
"Nusslein is the world outdoor pro
title holder. having won the CHAMPION

mer. Neither of these titles can be won
or lost, except in the annual tourna-

IN who conduct the destinies of
the I. C. A. A. A. A., were at
the Madison Square Garden today con-
ferring with John Reed Fitzpatrick.
formerly of Yale, who runs the big
arena on Eighth avenue.
Listening to them you got q definite
impression that the forthcoming an
nual indoor championship meet OF
the I. c. A. A. "A. A. will have less to
do with athletic accomplishment than
with various principles relating to the
more abStruSe sciences
Sheets of paper were being filled with
mathematical calculations and meas
urements, and Col KilpaAick, himself
an engineer. was demonstrating how a
35-pound weight and a l6-pound shot
could be tossed onto concrete floor
without damaging the floor or the
building.
OF course the Garden space is linn
tied in terms of track distances, and
the great problem was to lay track
that would insure fairness and equal
conditions for all runners.
As a result of calculations 1t was de-
cided to lay track such as was never
before seen. 1t will be q feet wide,
banked foot all around. The course
will be divided into two parts by red
and white line. This means there will
be an inside track of 1873 meters on the
curb, feet wide and an outer track Of
$50 meters, 18 feet wide.
In the 16OO-meter race yards
less than mile-and in the longer dis
tanceS, the runners will be staggered in
various lanes so that all will have the
same distances to run.
After the start, for instance, the
staggering, based. of course, upon exact
mathematics, will enable every runner
to hit the first curve at the same time,
provided he has started with equal
celerity and run at the same speed. In
other words, 1t is up to the athletes,
inasmuch as the distance for all will be
the same.

tific myself, but one has to be If he Is
to follow what Messrs. Kirby, Taylor
and Fitzpatrick are up to. They have
even worked it out so that having start
ed any number of distance men in the

there will be no crowding at any time.
Assuming that on the second time
around-the track is 3 laps for 400
meters-runners have travelled at the
same speed, they would all be punched.
But this will not happen, because run
ners do not travel at the same speed.
