 All Breaks Similar
 He is said to have footed houses in Waterbury of jewelry and cloth- ing valued at hundreds of dollars.

North Elm Street Plant Will Start Doing Work
 Next Month

The WPA sewing room project closed early this morning for "re- organization according to oficials but as a reprisal for complaints made about prevailing conditions there, according to employees, will be reponened early in July, the Demo- crat learne dtoday. The supervisor who was In charge and against whom some of the complaints were directed will be busted.
 Probably that reopening of the sewing room will lead to more headaches for State WPA lead. CTS appeared today as the re- suit of declarations that protests would be made to Washington if all the 70 women formerly employed there were not hired back. When announcing the closing, WPA offi- cials stated that the project would be run on @ smaller scale when re- opened. This statement led em- ployes to charge that 1t was planned to refuse jobs to those who led the attack on conditions at the shop and who protested against orders to purchase from their wages pat terms and buttons for use at the project.

They decided to meet again later this morning and said they still hoped to smooth out their differ- ences in time to get the platform before the convention tonight as scheduled.
 Constitutional Amendment
 Despite the insistence of Chair man Robert F. Wagner of New York that smooth progress was being made on the platform drafting, 1t was understood that the chief dif- faculties centered around whether to write a plank specifically pro- posing constitutional amendment on hours and wages, If necessary. Persistent reports circulated that the suggestions of President Roose- welt failed to mention an amend ment specifically, but that there would be another attempt this morning by advocates of such a plank to get at least a concession in the wording of the paragraph which would strengthen the partys stand. Wagner declined to confirm the reports.
