 ing.

Evidently there are no would-be movie stars among the roster of the Waterbury Bar Association, for today by unanimous vote they turned down an offer of a local photographer to take individual pictures of the organization FREE OF CHARGED and place them in a folder for permanent record in the office of the clerk of the superior court.
 The proposal was refused at meeting today in the superior court room with Attorney William J. Larkin, president. presiding. At torney Larkin explained the offer to the members and then after slight discussion, all adverse, the measure was voted down. One member suggested that the com- pany was not as charitable as ap- peared, fer he was sure that when the pictures were seen by the wives of the bar members several sales would be made.
 Vice-president Patrick Healey, chairman of the committee in charge of the annual bar outing, which will be held Monday, June 28 at the Waterbury Country Club presented his report on the pro- gress made. The event will con- sist of a program of tennis. golf and refreshments, topped off with dinner at 2 o'clock. Judge Ken meth Wynne announced his inten- ton of being present today.

Chrysler Corp. Grants
10 Per Cent Pay Raise

Detroit (ILNS)-The Chrysler Cor
poration has announced wage in
crease averaging about 10 per cent
to all its employees living in the De-
troit area. This includes some $4,000
of the company's $1,000 workers. The
raise is expected to add between $13,-
100000 and s14,00O,OO0 to the yearly
payroll. Chrysler, Dodge, De Soto
and Plymouth divisions all are af-
fected.
The Chrysler Company raised
wages in May, 1886; and on November
6 of the same year, announced a
bonus of around $4,000,000 for its
workers.
John L. Lovett, manager of the
Michigan Manufacturers Association,
says that while he does not know
of any general increase contemplated
at present by any other manufactur-
ing concern, that there is tendency
to approach an average minimum of
rs cents an hour for men and 65 cents
an hour for women among Detroit
manufacturers generally" He says
nothing about any tendency" of those
manufactures to furnish more reg
ular employment.
The latest Chrysler wage increase
was interpreted here as an indication
the corporation is determined to head
off any labor troubles in its plants.
A large proportion of Chrysler work
ers belong to the United Automobile
Workers Union of America, the or
ganization asserts.

Negro Labor Told Only Hope
Is In Big Industrial Union

Pittsburgh (ILNS)-N Negro work
ers are doomed to economic degreda-
dation unless they seek the protection
of a great industrial union,' Philip
Murray, chairman of the Steel Work
ers' organizing committee, told 800
Negro delegates attending national
conference here.
The conference was called to align
Negro fraternal organizations behind
John L. Lewis drive to unionize the
steel industry.
Murray said that study of wages
in the steel industry revealed cases of
colored workers being paid from Is

approval of the court to discontinue
all contempt proceedings which it
has instituted Hereunder.
Added to the agreement like a cod
icil to will was a letter from Gen
eral Motors to Governor Murphy, in
which the company agreed not to bar
gain with other agencies than the
United Automobile Workers except
under certain stated conditions and
after certain time. Official infor-
nation on this last item is lacking,
but all the accounts agree that the
period during which General Motors
will deal exclusively with the United
is six months.
Factors in g. M. Breakdown
Governor Murphy, of Michigan, is
probably the best loved hero of this
settlement. He stuck to the confer
ence like a dog to root, as one of
the company officials put it, and SIM
ply Wouldnt put up with anytnlHg
but definite settlement.
But it is generally recognized here
that the Roosevelt administration, lit
tie as it dealt in official pronounce
ments, furnished the conditions with
out which negotiations probably never
would have been consented to by the
company. Also, it is felt here that
the devastating revelations of the
LaFollette civil liberties committee,
showing $1,000 paid by General Mo-
tors to the Pinkerton spy agency in
1885, and almost half million to the
same agency in less than three years,
had a good deal to do with weakening
the company's resistance.

At any rate, the two corporations

suits to restrain the SEC from en-
forcing the public utility act of 1885,
