 No Fuslonist Party
 In connection with this move- ment number of misleading stories in local newspapers, sup- posedly from authentic sources, have endeavored to label 1t as q fusionist combination of democratic and republican voters. To rectify this false impression those who are responsible for the petitions, wish to disclose the real truth of the matter to the public at large. With that in mind they desire to go on record as saying:
 They Go on Record
 "First. the petitions, reading as shown above are for \ legitimate democratic move within the party.
 "second, this movement has no fusionist or republican connection.
 Third, this movement has no connection, whatsoever. with so. called independent club in Brook iyn."
 The local democrats who started these petitions are James Hartley, 72 Shelley street; Roger Connor. 32 Walnut avenue; Patrick Moran, 1bS Sylvan avenue; Eugene Sheehan, i25 Chambers street. and c few more who do not care to have their names disclosed.
 Those interested will notice that the petition carries authorization for an independent ticket on the voting machines in the fall. This Is merely q provision which entities the signcrs to uGe 1t If they so de- sire. The public response to the petition has been 50 strong. that those in back of the movement feel that the voters will satisfy their feelings at an open caucus, without rcsorting to the independent ticket.

 In other words, laterals cannot be constructed until the trunk line Is installed. The present sanitary main carrier from Mad river bridge into the Naugatuck river, which takes care of laterals in the "near east" section of the city, Is now taxed to It's full capacity.
 Bond Issue Refused
 Under the administration of ex. Mayor Francis F. Guilfoile an ef- fort was made to obtain permission for the issuance of several thou. sands of dollars worth Of bonds to finance the cost of the new trunk sewer. This attempt was made when the bond bill granting funds for the Naugatuck river trunk line sewer project was approved. The Mad river trunk sewer job, however, did not meet the approval of the legls- lative committee on finance Ut tho time, however.
 The present administration is at- tempting to get federal funds to help finance the job. The city will cooperate by furnishing cer- tain materials and equipment, of course. There is now no lateral sewer of the Mad river bridge and sanitary conditions in certain sec- tions of the area not having lat eral are said to be presenting a problem of property owners % take care of.

Many patients are complaining because they must remain so far away from home in other states, when some of the best medical talent, re- sirtble hospital locations, and other facilities, ca nbe found many places in tho state. Newington itself is ideally suited as a place for a Een- eral medical center, with great ad- vantages to the government and to Connecticut veterans"

 Union members met at Woon- socket to vote on the question Of striking. The ballot was asked by UTWA officials to be certain the waikout had full sanction of the workers.
 Peaceful picketing was general.

 What Riviere Charged
 Tn a statement issued at his Manchester, N. H., home, Rievere charged that the Uxbridge com pany was one of the two mill chains in the country with the largest work load.
 At Uxbridge, he said, the com pany departed from the regulations of the MIRA code and had started operating three shifts instead of the two allowed by the code.
 Riviere said that the issue of the strike was wages and work load" which he contended were interdependent.

Silvcrman that unless they wore back at work in three days, the fac- tory would be moved to New York city.
 The strike is the result of wage slashes Ut the factory which went into effect to-day, and which tho strikers claimed would give them less than q living wage.

Campbell joined with other strike leaders in urging the women to organize a union immediately and seek the support Of all organized labor here.
 Extra policemen were on duty outside the plant to-day, but there was no trouble reported. Police made no efforts to interfere with the picket lines.
 What Manager Says
 When reports that the strike was planned began to be heard last week, Silverman, the manager Of the plant declared that competition made necessary the wage cut. He told The Democrat this noon that wages at the Watcrtown Undergar- ment Co.,, were higher than those In most textile factories of the state, and claimed he sent Oui the employees who did report to work because he was afraid of violence.
 Strong enthusiasm marked the strikers meeting at Liberty hall. Speakers were Campbell and Miss May KlmoH of the Young Com. munist league of New Haven. Doc. laratlons that they would emain out until their demanTs were met

Rug
Makes Bow,
Is Renamed
Old Persian Rug Has
Received Official
Designation.
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

THE homemaker who is furnishing
floor coverings for a home this
season or who is buying a new rug
for some room in the house will find
some changes in names and fashions
this Spring that will be surprising,
and of value for her to know. The
most striking change is in the name
of Persian rugs. A few days ago the
edict of the Persian government went
into effect whereby the name for
these marvellous oriental floor cover
ings became Iranian.
Once all Oriental rugs came under
the one inclusive term "Turky
carpets" This was because the ships
which sailed to the Orient brought
these rugs home to England from the
ports of Turkey. Later Smyrna was
the usual port to get them, and they.
therefore, became Smyrna rugs. al
though the name "Turky carpets" was
not relinquished altogether.
From the time of this division in
terms there has gradually been an
increasing number Of names given
Oriental floor coverings, until today 1t
would seem as if each tiny province
or hamlet, nation or tribe, had the
rugs made In them or by them. given
a descriptive name. Often there are
several names by which a single rug
may be called correctly. All this is
rather battling to the novice, and
bit bewildering to many better versed
in rug nomenclature.
Another confusing element in rug
names has entered into the maze OF
rug terminology, names similar to
those familiar in Oriental Rugs have
become adapted with minor changes
to machine reproductions of high
order known as American Orientals.
The purchaser Of rugs should keep
these types of floor coverings in mind
-geuine Orientals, and American
Orientals, both excellent in their own
field, but entirely different in their
method Of construction, and differing
slightly in their uames. Replica rugs,
like replica pearls, can be fine and
beautiful and each should be appre-
ciated for what it is, and admired
for it.
Ever since the first "Turky carpets"

them has been attempted. The exact
stitch Is used in rugs in these coun-
tries in the choice hand-knotted car
pets and rugs. Close reproduction of
some patterns has been expertly &C
complished in this country, as men
toned
To return to the change in name
for Persian rugs to Iranian, it is in
teresting that the diversifcations are
being unified, rather than furthered.
The ancient name for the entire ter
ritory of Persia was Iran, and all rugs
now made in the area are Iranian
rugs and carpets. The government
intends to prosper the making of fine
Iranian rugs lest the wonderful un-
excelled Oriental carpets become a
lost art Such a thing would be
catastrophe, and the Iranian govern
ment does net intnend 1t shall happen.
