 Harris Was Informed
 MT. Harris, 1t will be recalled, said at the time that employees were making vigorous protests, that he did not believe in "groundless" charges being made against the sewing room project. MT. Harris has been ordinarily an outspoken critic of the handling of the WPA in this state. The sewing room was started several years ago, originally as Q Mutual Aid project, MT. Harris be- ing director of the Mutual Aid,
 Employees have been protesting about conditions ct the sewing room for several months, but last month eliminated their complaints by making protests directly to WPA Administrator Harry Hopkins at Washington. Miss Hughart made an inspection of the project at the time the complaints were heard several weeks ago.
 The women working the plant charged that they were under .eo- viet-lilke discipline, forbidden to talk and that bell was r1ng whenever they even looked up from their work. They were told to bring in buttons from home and had to buy patterns out of their own money, they claimed. Numerous other charges were advanced.

Supervisor, and the workers on the Waterbury sewing project. that ct the end of the present pay period, June 9th, the worhroom will be temporarily closed for the pur- pose of reorganization.

 Told Tn Monotone
 Almost in a monotone, Harvill re. lated Deans story. At a legion meet ing, Harvill testified Dean told him, "Coloner Davis charged Poole with having beaten his wife, an expec- tant mother.
 Passions stirred, the legionnaires demanded that Poole be beaten up. Some screamed for his life. Dean and two companions picked the un- suspecting victim up at saloon, took him back to the meeting place. There, the detective said he was told, motor cavalcade drove Poole to his death.
 Leader Asked Beating
 Colonel" Harvey Davis, leader of Detroit's night-riding Black Legion, suggested that Charles A. Poole "be beaten or something" two or three weeks before Poole's body was found in 8 ditch, a witness testified today at the examination of IA men charged with murder.
 The witness was Ruby Lane, sis- ter-in-law of Hershell Gill, one of the defendants charged with slay- ing Poole in cold-blood because he knew too much of the legion's ter- roristic activities.
 She was called to the stand in Judge Ralph w. Liddy's courtroom after another court had held her in $10,000 bail as a material witness. She was questioned by Prosecutor Duncan c. McCrea while Michigan's attorney-general, David H. Crowley, and an assistant, sat at the prosecu- ton table.
 Leading to Death
 Mrs. Owen Rushing, sister -in-l Jaw of another defendant, told her that Mrs. Rebecca Poole, wife of the slain man and an expectant mother, had quarreled with her husband and had moved, Mrs. Lane said. She add . ed that she had gone to Gill's home where Colonel" Davis called subse- quently.
 Q-What did you tell Mrs. Gill in the presence of Gill and Harvey Davis?>
 Al told her what Mrs. Rushing had told me-that the Pooles had quarreled and moved.
 Q-What did Davis say?
 A-Well, he said that a man who would do a thing like that ought to be taken out and beat, up, or some- thing like that.
 The witness was nervous. The de- fendants, including Davis and Day. ton Dean, the alleged trigger man. in the Poole shooting, watched her closely. Police said that confessions of several men held indicated Poole was slain for wife-beating, a viola ton of the Black Legion's stern code against un-Americanism and non- Protestants.

knew that this was 1936 and that we were living in @ changing and bewidered world. His mind was open and he was eager to ex- change views and swap ideas. He was far from just being "agin'" everything. He was thinking with both his heart and his head.
 "Why don't you tell people ex- actly what you've been telling me, governor?" I interrupted. Those are the things people rea!- ly want to know"
 He slowly shook his head. He couldn't quite get around to do- ing 1t. People would misunder- stand him.
 He Too Is an Angler
 It was 8 o'clock. A Kansas edi- tor and his Topeka host were announced.
 Say, plum forgot I promised to have @ bridge game tonight" |" the governor said, snapping his AAA6CAC' WM yVu AA1nS tHS fourth, Hunt?"
 I don't play bridge and besides I was leaving on the 9 o'clock train. The governor asked for his walking telephone, with the 30-foot cord, and called up an old riend.
 The game must stop at exactly midnight The next day would be Saturday and the governor was going fishing.
 It seems these days that a man who is even figuring on running for the presidency just about has to be a good fisherman.

Mooney, in charge ot the minimum wage division, said 1t is quite probable the Connecticut law will continue in effect as norl- mandatory statute. It will be purely voluntary compliance with provis- ions of the law. But violations might bring the penalty of publication of the names of offenders"

 The state law was adopted in 1883. The lace industry was the most prominently affected. Early this year a minimum wage board was selected for the laundry industry. It probably will be abandoned.
 New EngI0mu StateS Act
 Boston, June 2 --(UP) - Four New England States today consid- cred possible amendments to nin- imum wage legislation in an effort to escape the fate of the New York law, declared unconstitutional by the U. s. supreme court. Existing laws in Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Hampshire were reported similar to the out lawed act. Labor leaders and state ifficials prepared to confer on steps to preserve potent features of the laws. Only Massachusetts was in a position favorable to act imme- diately. hi the other three states, legislatures already have prorogued.
 Tn this state, State Labor Depart ment officials were to confer with representatives of the Attorney" Generals office. Some 100000 wo- men and minors had stood to bene- fit from mandatory wage schedules that could be moved up and down to correspond with minimum stand- ards of living. Actually none of the mandatory schedules had taken ef- feet, the five-month period pre- scribed by law after agreement on pay schedules, not having expired. These mandatory schedules were ordered under an amendment erl- acted in 1884, the original law passed in 1918, being of only decommend- atory nature. Officials in New Hampshire and Rhode Island could see no possibility of further action until the respective legislatures reconvene.

 Watt expressed hope that a plank dealing with the issue would be incorporated in the republican plat form at Cleveland.

1000 Engage in Free-for-AIl

SYRACUSE, N. Y, August a.
Twelve persons were arrested and
charged with melting to riot and four
men, including two patrolmen, were
in hospitals tonight as a result Of q
renewal of rioting at the Remington
Rand Co.'S plant today. From New
York came word that the company
already has removed most Of its equip
ment from the Norwood, Ohio, plant
to Ilion, N. Y.
A crowd estimated by police at 1000
workers and strike sympathizers tan
gled here in a free-for-all on the
streets near the Rand plant this morn
ing Several shots we're fired, and
Chief Thomas Carroll said the strike
sympathizers used two-pound iron
balls as missiles
Affidavits given out by Clifford H.
Searl, strikers attorney, charged that
the riot was precipitated on a signal
by a guard Of a private detective
agency, several of whose men are
employed to protect the factory.
Chief Carroll rejected this theory
on statement Of police officers and
asserted the men who hurled iron
bearings were potential murderers'
Mayor ROLAND B. Marvin in a sharp
statement said this disgracefully
shameful episode puts an end to pa
tience." He ordered that every per-
son who performs or provokes violence
shall be arrested and prosecuted To
| the full extent Of the law"
The IL persons charged with In
citing to riot were released under $500
| bail each.
In New York sources close to the
company revealed plant equipment and
800 workers had been transferred from
Norwood to nion. and an additional
200 workers were expected to leave
today.
| The remainder of the machinery at
! the plant, it was said. is to be used
only as required for expansion pur
poses In other plants of the company.
/ 1t was said officials of the company
thought 1t would be economical TO
eliminate duplication Of production
/ and overhead costs 1t was estimated
the company would save more than
| $40 600 a year on the transfer.
Prior to the cessation of production
at Norwood during the last week in
May, about 1,5oo workers were en-
| ployed.
