ING IN THE PRACTICAL MEASURES WHICH
MAKE WAR UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

The young men who entered the camps last week and
are entering additional ones this week doing so
freely and voluntarily.
None is under any compulsion to attend.
This is radically different spirit than that which
animates military movements in many other countries,
notably those which are despotcaly controlled.
In those countries the young men, regardless of cir
cumstance regardless of personal feeling enter the
armies because someone tells them they MUST.
Here the young honored if they are told that
they MAY attend the camps.
Our young men are honored for having passed the
examinations which are set up for those who wish to
60 to the camps.
They are honored by our citizens likewise for the
patriotic spirit which sent them to their examinations
and which will carry them through the by no means
easy regimen of camp life

fields with an announcement it would
never surrender 'our right to strike"

agreement With Specially
Shops Reached, Scale
$50, $3.50 and $40.

\ With more than 200 tailors back at
work under an agreement effected yes
terday by arbitrators in their strike,
negotiations were under way today for
p settlement with department stores
and customs tailor shops involved in
the dispute
a The compromise agreement, accept
ed yesterday by both the clothiers and
the strikers, affects tailors, pressers
and helpers employed in speciality
stores which sell ready-to ap-
parel
Herman Holtznecht, national or
eanlzer for the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, said the agree
ment specified minimum wage for
failors of S33 week, s22.50 for press
ers and $40 for their helpers, and
44-hour maximum work week.
Recognition Held Granted.
The agreement also specified the
stores would recognize the union. he
said The union had demanded a
minimum wage OF s36 for tailors and
pressers, S22 for their helpers and a
40-hour week.
, One of the custom tailors, whose
employees are still out on strike pending
q final settlement for tailors working
on piecework, protested against a
charge made by Holznecht when the
strike was called that tailors work from
"A to 60 hours a week for salaries
ranging from S21 to $50 a week.
: The protest came from Fred Della
of the firm of D'Elia g. Marks, Inc,
who said his 20 employees never have
averaged less than S33 a week"
Make Up to $50 Week.
In season, my employees draw as
much as $50 week." he said. In
less busy seasons they make as much
as S42, and even in dull periods they
receive $50 week. We've been pay
ing wages about 10 per cent higher
than those demanded by the union
An calling the strike"
DElla said the union now Is de-
s,nanding an increase of 20 per cent
above his current scale. He added
that mo one has been around yet to
submit proposed agreement"
. "A statement such as Mr.. Holtz-
snecht made reflects on the tailors," he
said. I'VE certainly are not trying to
take advantage of labor"
Regarding hours, Della said his
employees often work so hours per
week in rush seasons, but in Stacker
periods they often work as few as 20
hours.

 Only by keeping such view of the sit uation constantly before them can the members of the reorganization commit tee return fair report to the Legislature. Only by keeping such things in mind can the Legislator vote impartially on the matter. Should their attention run to such thoughts as Well, this commission is doing good work, why eliminate it?" or "Why combine an office with another one, when both are ok as is?" or Moth ing is going to be gained by this shift" The whole plan will founder. We've asked for changes, let's make few. True the Legislature may round off some rough edges of the plan, but it must accept in full, not in part, to accomplish the real effect of reorganization.

The efforts of Mayor Frank Hayes to prevent any of the 50,0OO persons in Waterbury subject to the old age assist ance tax from being forced to pay pen atty of an additional dollar have been rewarded. Ordinarily the last day for paying the tax would be Monday, March l, but the Legislature is going to grant local taxpayers another month in which to pay up their 1888 assessment. That's good news, for many of us have not yet received our old age tax bills. And while failure to receive bill does not relieve person of the necessity of paying, it does complicate matters for good many peo- pie who would not pay unless they re- ceived bill and those who wouldn't know they even had to pay such tax until they got the bill All around it's a good thing our city officials got busy and had this concession granted the city by the state.

What Price Politics?

It has often been said politics is cold game; in fact, ruthless. Unfortunately it has to be to function successfully. But occasionally politics stoops even lower, to what in the phraseology of the sporting fraternity is commonly alluded to as "succer shot,. That is what irrespective of party affiliations, sympathy, or what have you, we think has been pulled in the case of the firing" of Elmer Parker from the personnel of the registrars office at the City Hall
 The Waterbury Democrat holds no brief for republican office-holderS, any more than they hold for the Democrat. Politics, like war, is all and more than has been said about it. Yet there are times when politics seems to transcend all other known professions in it's ruthlessness, which we think has been the case in the dropping of MT. Parker without as much as even the customary two weeks" rotice. Any business would at least have extended him at least that little courtesy.
 Neither is it the Democrats aim to capitalize Mr. Parker's shabby treatment in the present instance other than to say when man who has devoted the years of service he has to his party, politics has reached low ebb, too low for an honest, sincere man to be concerned with.
 The reasons advanced, no doubt neces- sary in modern machine politics, are, however, the reason for the growing apathy among the majority of serious minded citizens to enter politics. This is true of all parties. There is no more in- dividuality in politics than there is in the industrial machine age. We regret to see men of MT. Parker's type and years of service relegated to the political scrap heap but that evidently is the price that must be paid for machine politics. When you don't "click", you're "out". What price politics?

PARK FUNDS

Everyone who has used the excel lent Connecticut park system will be sympathetic with plans for its ex- tension and improvement. The state park and forest commission has sug- gested bond issue and friends of the system will rally in such a case The more cautious will feel, of cour- SC, that institutional demands on immediate resources shall have first claim; while welcoming suggestions which would help the parks in other ways. One of them is the proposal that parking fees be charged at mod crate rates. In this way, it is felt, the parks could be placed much more on a basis of Sufficiency.
 Clearly such scheme would have to be adjusted carefully to the fact that many who use the parks now are hardly wealthy. And 1t is true that paid parking grounds have not been unknown at state parks up to now. Whether the paid-parking spa ces can be extended without hurt ing patrons who genuinely can't af- ford to pay, may well be looked into and looked into well.

 Wealthy Father
 The paradox in Gardner Jack son is that he is an off-shoot of the economic .royalists" de- nounced by the President. Jack sons father was a rugged indi- vidualist who cleaned up more than 8 million during the boom days in Colorado, built the Dem yer and Rio Grande railroad, prob ably was the biggest landowner in New Mexico and Colorado.
 His son once was wealthy in his own right. But not today. He has given away most of his in- heritance to share-croppers, the bonus army, Sacco and VanSetti, Tom Mooney, the Spanish loyal ists, and in picketing the MIRA of- fees of General Johnson when he fired the leader of government workers union.
 Jackson's wife, who is the real rudder of his life, does much of her own work, an dhis four, chil- dren can be quite sure that what ever they have in later life they will earn themselves. But they seem to be all the happier for it. By Shot
 Not every cause Gardner cham pions has achieved such success as his crusade for Share-cropper. Many of them have been lost long before he tackled them. But it makes no difference. Once h even tried to convert the kitchen help of the German embassy against Naziism.
 Gardner is 2 real power in Washington today. Two su- preme court justices call him in when they want to know how certain situations are develop ing, and several members of the cabinet seek his counsel. %
 But despite his present emin- ence, there still remain in Jack sons life delightfully."- rare occa- sions when he casts off the gar- ments of the crusader, and splash es in the gilded fountains of his friends, completely reverting to the dim and carefree days of his economic royalty. .r
