Congressional Club Tea
Members to Hear Gifted Woman in
Character Play.

Of Mrs. Newdick, she knows how to
get an effect by suggestion and light
touches; her gesture Is restrained and
so means something. She can assume
masculine roles and do them without
bluster or noise rather by voice, ex-
preston and posture She appears
alone, but her audience sees a stage
peopled with a full cast of diverse
characters, acting with life and
vitality.
Mrs. Newdick will give "a Mar
riage of Convenience" a four-act play
by Alexander Dumas. The SPAR
king lines of this comedy Of the
eighteenth century are startling in
their modernity and save for the
quaint manners of Louis XV's court,
might well depict u present time.

Naugatuck, Nov. 8.-Tne local plant of the U. s. Rubber company has had the best safety record of any of the plants of the U. s. Rub- Der Products, Inc, and has been awarded 8 beautiful bronze plaque in recognition of its excellent rec ord, 1t was announced today.
 Yesterday at the meeting of the factory council, George P. Young, retiring safety supervisor of the United States Rubber Products, Inc, presented the operators of the local footwear plant with the plaque, the grand prize awarded to the company by the National Safety Council. The plaque was re- ceived on behalf of the operators by James J. Petit, chairman of the factory council.
 This plaque is awarded each year by the National Safety Council to the company having the best safety record in the rubber section. The award is based on the number of lost time accidents compared with the number of man hours worked during the year. The record of the operators of the local plant is an enviable one, and was achieved, in the face of strong competition by a large number of safety-minded plants throughout the country, only by the wholehearted cooperation of every member of the local organ ization, under the able leadership of George P. Young.
 A number of years ago the rub Der industry was considered a rather hazardous one and it was quite common for numerous severe accidents to happen. The manage ment of the rubber industry, and particularly that of the United States Rubber company, felt that these accidents could be prevented. Steps were immediately taken to reduct accidents occurring in the To-

cal plants, and by the fine coopera- tior of the operators, great im- provement has been shown in re- cent years.
 Last year the company missed winning the trophy by a narrow margin of one lost time accident, and has for the last three years been awarded certificates of merit by the National Safety Council.
 The management has made every operators, and there has been the effort to insure the safety of its operators, and there has been the best of cooperation on their part by being safety-minded and care- full at all times.
 The local plant may be called justifiably the safest large rubber factory in America"
 MT. Young made 8 short address at the council meeting. Some of his remarks follows:
 'The safety record made by the operators in our Naugatuck factory for the first six months of 1885 won the grand prize given by the Ma tional Safety Council at their Oc- tober meeting in Louisville.
 "This award following the three second place certificates of merit re- ceived in 1892, 1883 and 1885 gives our operators the distinction of working in the safets large rubber factory in America-and probably in the world.
 "This is distinction of which we can all be proud for it means that carelessness has taken the smallest toll of sorrow, pain and expense in our plant.
 "Our last factory council can rightfully look with pride to that major accomplishment during their term of office, an accomplishment in which they played no small part.
 With the determination to con- tinuously raise our standards of safety, just as we have in quality and service, we can again be ac- claimed as the leaders in our indus try.
 "The record issued by the Na- tional Safety Council Is as follows:
 frequency rate per million hours worked
 a. All industries .......... 15%
 b. All rubber companies .. 95%
 c. All United States Rub-
 Der Companies ....... 4.46%
 d. N tug a t u c k Foot

 Measles Increase
 An increase of 27 cases of measles was noted by the state de- partment. It was stated by the health authorities that the increase in diphtheria deaths emphasizes the necessity of continual effort to protect children by means of toxoid immunization. Influenza was more prevalent in 1895 and is believed to have had much to do with the increased mortality credited to broncho pneumonia. A slight in- crease was also noted in tubercu- 1osis mortality. The department does not feel that the increase in cancer deaths is as yet serious. It is expected that there will be at least 2,000 cancer deaths when 1885 is completed. The department is gratified with the reduction in deaths dueto diarrhea in children under 2 years of age.

 In regard to the proposed walk out, credited in news dispatches today as a prediction by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor," MT. Quinn said he heard nothing from either state or national headquarters of the council.
 The Federation of Labor is wag. ing a determined battle to have all WPA building and construction projects be transferred to the wages prevailing in each commun- ity.
 In the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, building trades workers are refusing to CTS on WPA projects. It is claimed that if workers accept the secur- ity wage on WPA projects they will lose the prevailing rate of pay when employed by private contractors.
 The security wage rates range inthe various localities from $50 to as high as $S5 monthly. On WPA projects, according to rec ently published rules, prevailing wage rates will be paid.
