Washington, D. C., April II - t'our-fifths of properties surveyed In Waterbury, Conn, by agents of the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tic Commerce were found to be over 60 per cent encountered. The conclusions of the bureau were an- nounced today and were drawn from a checkup on 595 residential properties and information tabu- lated on 1876 owner-occupied and 1123 rented units, comprising 7.o per cent of the total number or occupied dwelling units in the city.
 One of the outstanding observa- tions made by enumerators was to the effect that rents in the Brass City were dropping" but not as swiftly as the average Waterbury family's income.
 The decline In rents between 1929 and 1888 was about one fifth, while the decline in the av- craze family income was about one-third, the Bureau reported. For the same period, the value of owner-occupied one-family dwell lngs declined about one-seventh, 1t was reported.
 The average annual rent bill in Waterbury was $367 in 1929, and $293 in 1883, the report showed. The average income of tenant fam flies was given as $1742 in 1929, and $f223 in 1888.
 About four-fifths of all proper ties reporting were found to be encountered, and the average mortgage debt was about so per cent of the average land value, 1t was reported. Savings banks sup piled about forty per cent of the total of outstanding mortgage cre- dit, it was reported, with individ- ual lenders holding A per cent, and commercial banks holding 13 per cent. The average interest rate reported was 5.92 per cent.
 The largest proportion of rent delinquencies was on the lower rental brackets, the report showed. Fifteen homes on which the aver

Larry bent over the table.

WAGNER LABOR

TESTED
Labor Relations Board Or
ders Hearing; Appeal
ForeSeen

PITTSBURGH. Oct. 24.-UP,
Hearing of the case selected
by the New Deal to test the Wac.
ner labor acts constitutionaIitv
is in progress here.
The National Labor Relations
board ordered the hearing on
charges that the GREYHOUND bus
line interfered in union ACTIVITY
of its employees.
Five former employees testified
yesterday that they were dismiss
ed from jobs at the comuanv's
Pittsburgh garage because thew
joined a union affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor
Ivan Bowen, Minneapolis. Mimi
Greyhound counsel. filed a brief
questioning constitionality of the
Wagner act and jurisdiction of
THE labor board. composed of DR.
j. Warren Madden. John NJ. Car
modv and Edwith S. Smith.
Observers regard the filing of
the brief as an indication that
Greyhound will appeal the case
to the U. S. Supreme Court
should the board rule against it.
Specific charges against Grew
hound. 4 Pennsylvania Railroad
subsidiary. were that it dismissed
nine employees because of their
union utilization and then attempt
ed to prevent other employees from
joining the local lodge of the
Amalgamated Association O f
Street Electric and Motor Coach
Employees of America, an A. F. of
L. affiliate.
Moreover, Greyhound was
charged with violating the Wag-
ner law in that it allegedy gave
financial aid to a company union,
prohibited by the act.
Greyhound based its contention
that the Wagner act is unconstitu-
tional on the ground that it dele
gated legislative authority and
judicial power to the labor board;
that it denied the company right
of trial by jury, and that the act
deprived the company of liberty
and property" without due process
by law.

sought out the doorman.

The doorman named a CONNER
cial garage a block away.
LaRocco and Tommy Waters
called cab and went downtown,
while the other three hurried to
the garage. There Larry sought
out the manager and produced
once more his rogues' gallery por-
trait of Wingy Lewis.
The manager studied it thought
fully, then nodded.
Looks like him. he said. Once
more Larry asked the inevitable
question, "Did you notice his
hands?" The garage manager re-
piled as the waiter had done; af-
ter puzzling over the question for

he recalled that the man had

CHAPTER Xxx
Frank Watson and Al Peters
were waiting outside the entrance
to West Park hotel when Larry
drove up. They stepped forward
as he got out of his car.
"Tony and Tommy are inside"
said Watson. "Tony's up at the
entrance to the suite, and Tommy
is with the manager. The people'd
checked out just about 80 min
utes before we got here. The
manager says they seemed to be
in a hurry"
"1'll bet they were," said Larry.
"You did good job to locate it
as soon as you did. Well go up
and look the place over and see
what there is to see."
They entered the lobby and
crossed to the desk, where Tommy
Waters was talking with the
manager, a worried-looking indi-
vidual in a morning coat. He
looked up as they drew near, and
spoke to Larry with petulant
concern.

They went up and found Tony
LaRocco lounging at the apart

door and they all went inside,
the door after them.
The suite consisted of a large,
ornately-furnished living room,
two bedrooms, an elaborately-til-
ed bathroom, and small kitchen
ct and dining alcove. Larry look
ed about him appreciatively.
