 Rev. Mir. Gaines said, We know now why disarmament conferences fail. It is because the armament and munitions makers control them" pr. Gregg declared 'En- couraging factors in the promo ton of international concord are the steady growth of democratic government, arbitration and the World Court, the League of Ma. tions, the Bria- Kellogg pact, the eorts toward distarmament, and the present demand for close gov ernmental control of the munitions

 Council Speaker
 Paul Harris, a member of the National Council for the Preven- ton of War, addressed a large group Saturday night in Daven- port hall. The gathering was spon- sored by the Waterbury Council for Peace Action, the local League of Women Voters, the YMCA and the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women. The speaker described postwar events upon which he based his hopes for world peace. He declared that a new type of activity for world peace, the re- cruiting of young voters who will support candidates for congress favoring a national policy on the part of the country tending towards international good will, is now in progress.
 The United States, according to the speaker, can prevent general war by refusing to fur nish munitions or money. No Eur opean nation, he declared, will go to war unless it is fairly certain of and munitions from this country.

SURVEY DISCLOSES
 LABOR CONDITIONS
Female Labor on Increase in Naugatuck Valley,
 Director Claims

Female labor in industry has in- creased in the Naugatuck valley during the past five years. So has unskilled and semi-skilled labor. These facts were disclosed l asst night at the South Federated church by Professor H. Daniel Darling, who is in charge of the 1'ERA Industrial and farming sur vey in the valley. Taking industry and farming as a whole he said there are more persons employed than there were in 1928. However. he added, there is no definite idea as to how many hours week the employees are working.
 The survey of farms, the speak CT said, shows that only 22 per cent of the employees are on full time on commercial farms. Fifty five per cent of them are only part time farms from which the work CTS travel to the mills of the valley. Forty-three per cent of the farms are really subsistence home steads." This means that they are farms where the part-time work amounts to less than one man could do in two months working eight hours a day.
