The situation was intensified by 0 declaration, on the eve of the council, that the National Automo- bile Chamber of Commerce docs not intend to recognize the Ameri- can Federation of Labor as such nor to enter into any contract with 1t in behalf of it's employees.
 Battle Over Unions
 Thus the issue to be met by the twelve leading manufacturers was resolved into a fight between or ganized labor and the so-called hcompany unions" which are frowned upon by the national re- eovery administration.
 While the executives declined, at Che outset of the meeting, any com- sment on the tense situation, the New York Stock Exchange reflect cd the nervousness of industry by driving prices of automobile shares steadily down at opening.
 The manufacturers went into conference so certain that the dis cussion would be intense and en- crossing, that they announced there would be no luncheon recess. h. stead, the conferees ordered meals sent in and planned to remain in session throughout the day.
 They were vague, too, about ad- journment.

necticut as a whole. Most of the leading cities of the state reported decreases, the only increases being noted by Danbury and Stamford.
 New Haven county's towns and cities showed decrease of $32,- iS2,267, altogether, which repro sented a drop of 3.75 per cent on the combined grand lists. Fairfield and Holland counties were the only ones of the eight counties in Connecticut to show increases. The increase in Fairfield county was .51 per cent and that in Holland county was only .37 per cent. The counties showed an average drop of 2.79 per cent on an average.
 In setting up the 1884 budget the board of finance estimated a drop of over $6,O00,0O0 and set it's 1894 tax rate along this line. Ac- cording to the state tax commits sioner's office, it is apparent that while decreases in valuations ap- pear common in centers of popu- lation, including Waterbury, the rural communities show average grand lists depicting slight de- CreaSeS or increases.

STATE

Current feature attractions at War ners' State include the World Pre- miers of Journal Of A Crime" starring Ruth Chatterton with Adolphe Menjou and Lets Be Ritzy" with Lew Ayres, Patricia Ellis and Frank McHugh.

 The first mentioned picture is being brought back by public de- mand. During it's engagement at the State Waterbury was visited with a bad snow storm and many patrons were unable to get out to see it. It is one of tn, outstanding pictures of the year, receiving high tribute in all the theatrical maga- zines and trade papers.
 The many requests that have some to the managers office has resulted in this return engage ment which is a distinct departure from the polisy of the theater and is done only because the picture is outstanding enough to warrant it and that additional fact that the snow storm prevented many patrons from. getting out to see it during its previous engagement.
 The companion feature "The 9th Guest" is a super mystery thriller In the cast are Donal1 Cook. Gen. evieve Tobin ana other stage and screen celebrities. It is one of the finest of the new seasons crop of mystery plays, with theme that is new in idea and directorial treatment.

LENTEN SEASON
 NEARING CLOSE
Catholic Churches to Ob= serve PassiOntide This
 Week and Next

Yesterday, which was Passion Sunday. marks the beginning of the final two weeks of the Lenten season, which eliminates with Easter Sunday, April l, although the actual observance and Lenten fast ends at noon Holy Saturday. The next two weeks begin a time designated in the church as the Passiontide. As was observed in the Catholic churches yesterday all crucifixes and images were cov- cred with purple cloth, to so re- main until the end of Lent.
 While the entire season of Lent is a penitential time, the final two weeks are especially so, as they represent those final events in the life of Christ that had their culmin- ation in the passion and death Of Christ on the cross.
 While the present time is known as the Passiontide and yesterday is known as Passion Sunday, the gos- pei which narrates the passion of Christ is not read from the altar until next Sunday, known as Palm Sunday. During these remaining Lenten days the liturgy of the church changes in tone and is truly suggestive of the events it repre- sents. The violet on crucifixes and images accentuates the peni- tential atmosphere and the spiri- tual significance is apparent.
 The music of the church also en- ters into the same spirit beginning yesterday and is in accordance with the season. Both Catholic and Protestant churches of the city are observing these days of the Passiontide with suitable ritual.

PACKAGE STORES IN BATTLE ROYAL
(Continued from Page 1.)

The nature of the complaint, in many respects, resembled the ini- tial action. The petition charges druggists ''privileges and immuni- ties' in permitting holders of drug gists' permits to sell longer hours and in smaller quantities than package stores.
 The complaint further charges "that this pretended statute dis. eliminates against them in that the pretended act imposes no regula- tions whatsoever upon the hours during which business may be con- ducted by druggists permittees. !" but that the druggists permittees' hy their own regulation and entire- ly without the contemplation of the act, have imposed upon themselves through a governing body, outside of and independent of this pre- tended statute, certain regulations with respect thereto. There is noth- ing in the pretended statute which would perohibit druggists permit tees from selling "A hours & day. Sundays, holidays and election days included"

DIVORCE DECREE
 MAY BE CHANGED
Woman Removes Outside Superior Court Juris-
 dictiOn, Decision Says

Unless Mrs Antoinette M. Tan creto, formerly of Waterbury, re- turns to the Jurisdiction of the supdtior court here, the divorce de- cree entered in her favor several weeks ago, will be changed as far as custody of the child and alimony are concerned, states Judge John A. Cornell in a decision handed down in superior court today.
 Judge Cornell states he has learned that Mrs Tancreto has re- moved to Kearney, N. J., and talk en the child with her. This is con- trary to the understanding had which was to the effect that she was to take up residence within the Jurisdiction of the superior court, where the defendant, Sal- vatore Tancreto, might have reas- enable opportunity to visit the child, says Judge Cornell.
 Before signing the judgment file, the decision says, and ordering the stipulated amount of alimony to be paid, it would seem that the plaintiff should take the child back to the Jurisdiction here and that there should be assurance given that the after payment of the ali- mony, the child would not be removed without further permis- sion of the court.

STRAND

Greta Garbo and John Gilbert in "Queen Christina, heads the marvellous double feature enter tainment being offered at Warmers Strand today, tomorrow and We'd nesday. The picture, a spectacular presentation of seventeenth cen tury roma.-ce, as depicited in the life and loves of Sweden's famous queen, is primarily historical be- cause it brings Gilbert back to the theater fans after his announced retirement to private life and after five-year screen separation from Garbo.
 It is a picture based authenti. cally upon events and customs of the time and presents elaborate historical settings, which for their beauty and accuracy, have seldom been equalled.
 The story deals with Christina who, after being reared as a man and who was crowned King of Sweden, finds tempestuous love through the visit to her court of John Gilbert, who portrays the authentic role of Ambassador An tonic Dimintelli of Spain.
 Their open love affair incenses the nation against Christina and her people repeatedly clamor for her marriage to Prince Charles, one of her countrymen. She is finally forced to expel her lover from the country, but abdicates her throne immediately after in favor of Prince Charles and fees in pursuit of Antonio-to find him slain in a duel with her Lord Treasurer.
 The performance of Garbo is undoubtedly the finest of her career and Gilbert maintains and revives that old petulant force so evident in his earlier pictures. Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Young, C. Aubrey Smith and many other members of the cast deserve hon. orable mention for their excellent roles.
 The companion feature presents Wheeler and Woolsey in Hips Hips Hooray," a mad merry mirth- full musical comedy, with Ruth
 Etting Thelma Todd and Dorothy Lee.
 In order to impress Dot Lee and
 Thelma Todd with their ability as safesmen of favored lipsticks,
 Wheeler and Woolsey phone a
 wealthy tock-broker that his home is afire. He leaves his office in- stantly, and that's how the boys get a free office without paying
 rent.
 But here start their complica. tions set, to love, laughter ant lifting melodies which end in a augh-crammed climax. Ruth Fitting sings the curren
 popular songs Hired of It All" ant
 Keep Romance Alive" in Hips

 Thelma Todd harmonize on '.KeeI on Doin' What You're Doin'."

A large slice of land will be taken from the Rudolph property and then again the city property will be Sliced once more. The road will end at the town line with large tract of land being taken from the property of Thomas Murphy, local milk man.
 Four houses on the Roper prop erty are to be moved to new sites. All houses must be out of the way struction of the road must be in commissioner by the 2Sth of this month. Several state contractors are planning to bid on the job, it is understood.
 The new highway, which will be constructed out of PWA money, will greatly reduce the grade over East Mountain. The general drop in the grade will be about seven per cent. When completed the highway will be without any dan- gerous curves.
 The stopping of the present plans at the WaterburyP Prospect town line has caused much unfav- orable opinion in the town of Prospect, it is reported. The new highway from the center of Pros- pect to New Haven is now open. The new road from Hamilton ave- nue to the town line will form part of the New Haven route. Therefore, efforts will be made to have the state lay new road be- tween the Waterbury Prospect town line and the center of Pros- pect.
 When completed it is expected that the new route will cut about six miles off the route to New Haven and make it the shortest road between Waterbury and the Elm city.
