The anniversary of the Irish-American Social Club which will be observed in Lakewood Park Sunday, July 14th will awaken in the minds of many the good old days sponsored by the Irish in days gone by. Perhaps a few are alive today who witnessed the annual picnics of the A. O. H. held in the old ball grounds in the west end--a social event unparalleled in the history of Waterbury within the confines of field sports. In those days, when nimble display of the athlete was hailed with long ing desire, the other coming events were practically cast in- to oblivion. Eventually the strides of progress changed the scenes, and today where , once was heard the shout of the umpire crying, Ball one" we scan only the walls and roofs of modern up-to-date
 commercial structures.
 Let us picture those scenes in the late eighties and pass along to the early nineties and move our scenes to the old Driving Park on Watertown avenue. It is not fiction to state that many are amongst us at this time who partook of the many joyful events giv- en under the auspices of the various Irish organizations more than quarter of a cen- tury ago. Many perhaps can

|NRA Codes' Setback
 A State Detriment
Defeat Throws Responsibility for Labor Protection Back on Shoulders of Many Says Tone in N. Jersey

Connecticut State Labor Com missioner Joseph M. Tone. speak ing to-day at Spring Lake, N. J., decared that the failure of the states to ratify the child labor amendment and the defeat of the MIRA codes by reason of the su- preme court decision has thrown the responsibility for protection of labor back on to the shoulders Of the several states. The Connecticut legislature. in it's recent session, re- fused to ratify the child labor amendment to the United States constitution. However, according to Commissioner Tone, the child labor acts passed by the Connecti- cut leRislature this year conform closely with all the provisions of the proposed child labor compact
 Commissioner The said in part:
 Commissioner Tone said in part: ratify the child labor amendment and the overthrow of the NRA codes by the supreme court leaves the responsibility for the protection of labor to the several states. Un- scrupulous employers are taking advantage of the opportunity to put children back in the factories and stores, to cut wages and to stretch out the work-day and the work.week. To combat this tend ency, a group of eastern, middle western and southern states are trying to maintain and advance their labor standards by formulat- ing interstate labor compacts es- tablishing uniform regulations re- garding child labor, wages and hours of work with the intention Of doing away with unfair competi- ton among the contracting states
 "The child labor compact pros posed by this group forbids em.. ployment of: children under l6 years in manufacturing and certain other specified employments; min ors under IS in hazardous employ ments: minors under IS in manu- facturing and other specified em. pioyments between 10 ?. m. and 5 a: m: minors under IS for more than eight hours per day. forty hours per week and six days per week. Minors under IS must nave work certificates.

sions of the proposed child labor compact. The ages of employment are Identical and the requirement of work certificates Is quite similar but the Connecticut law establishes q maximum nine hour day and U forty.eight hour week instead of an eight hour day and forty-hour week. The employments covered are not identical, but the principal employments are covered in the compact and in the Connecticut acts. The forward-looking citizens of Connecticut have reason to feel gratified with the progressive child labor laws enacted by the last legislature.
