was formally established in 1886. It has functioned and served labor without interruption during all the period intervening between 1886 and the present time. Obviously, it must depend for its success upon service to the workers, upon the loyalty and devotion of those who are as- sociated with it, the economic strength which it possesses is an intangible strength. It cannot in serving working men and women of the nation, rely upon strong fi- nancial institutions or upon the accumulation of material wealth It cannot depend upon those things for its existence. It must reply upon the loyalty and devotion of working men and women.
 So the issue is not industrial against craft unionization.
 The American Federation of labor applies that principle willingly, proudly and intelligently. In 1884, the American Federation of Labor issued charter covering all em- ployed in productions and assemb-

Investigation was underway to- day into the accident that cost the life of Andrew Olson, 38, of Park Lane, New Milford, while he was working with a crew of the South ern New England Telephone Co. in trimming trees at Washington. A swinging limb apparently struck Olson on the head, though fellow workers said they did not see the accident.

 The performance by LeRoi and company will be followed by danc- ing to the music of James Fitz- gerald and his orchestra.
 LeRoi comes to this city well recommended by members of mys- tic associations and through inter cession with people and organiza- tions before whom he has per- formed in his act.

appropriation covers the expenses which will be brought about by the erection of a wire fence around the field and the planting of shrub bery, it was stated today by local officials that work will be started on this phase of the project within a months time. When this work is completed and the field finally graded, there is no reason why it cannot be used for baseball this summer if temporary stands are put up.
 In the event that the present re- quest for an appropriation of over $10O,000 is approved in the near future, the plans also show that athletic activity and work on build ing the stone grandstand can be carried on simultaneously.
 In all, about 5000 or more feet of steel wire fence will be erected to enclose the playing field area. The fense will probably be about ten feet high and directly inside the fence, all around the enclosure, the shrubbery will be planted. Along the rip-rap wall which was built on the Steel brook side of the field and fence will extend straight for a distance of 906 feet.
 On the north and south sides of
 the enclosure there will be two large parking lots, large enough to accommodate several thousand cars.
 The present proposal calls for the erection of combined grandstand and clubhouse which will be located on the Watertown avenue side of the field and which will be about 400 feet long,. The lower edge of the proposed grandstand will border on the quarter-nile track which was completed last year. The base ball and football fields will he laid out inside the track enclosure.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS
 CAMP AICN OPENED
Help of Local Tuberculosis Organizations Sought
 By Sponsors

Hartford, March 30-Plans have just been completed by the State Tuberculosis Commission to enlist the help of local tuberculosis and health organizations throughout the state in participating in the 10th annual nation wide Early Diag- nosis Campaign, which will get under way April =. With the slogan, Uncover Tuberculosis by Modern Methods" the campaign will en- rhasize three objectives: the first, to acquaint everyone with the four danger signals of tuberculosiS, viz persistent cough, indigestion, loss of weight and fatigue; the second, to advise that hidden tuberculosis be uncovered by means or the mod- ern methods of tuberculin testing and x-raying; and third, to point out the dangers of contact with ac- tive cases of the disease.
 Tn contrast to the associations annual Christmas Seal appeal for funds, the Early Diagnosis Cam paign is strictly an educational eff fort" explained Miss Mabel Baird, campaign director for the State Tu- berculoSiS Commission. "A single phase of the tuberculosis problem is selected for emphasis by the Ma tional Tuberculosis Association and simultaneously from April to 30, some 2,0O0 affiliated tuberculosis as- sociations throughout the country endeavor by every possible means to bring this message to the public"
 Tn Connecticut we shall use pos- ters. sound motion pictures dealing with the. disease, illustrated lec- lures, radio talks, demonstrations and articles in newspapers and ma gazines. Three specially printed leaflets with corresponding posters, entitled, Tt Can Happen, Sig nals" and Tn Every Home" will be distributed to the public without charge"
