F ire Marshal Reviews
 Park System History
Shares Speakers Role With Deputy Superintendent
 of Police at Playground Institute; Quotes Baldwin

The Deputy Supt. of the Police Dept. Dan Carson, and the Fire Marshal of Waterbury, Den. Lehey, talked before the 100 candidates for places as public park supervisors, in the dance hall of Hamilton park this morning. Each speaker discus sed safety" although the Marshal drifted quite often from his text, into the history of the park system of the city, and quoted extensively from the farewell address of the noted Stanley Baldwin, former prime minister of England.
 Cites Fatalities
 Deputy Carson gave history of figures of fatalities in the state, dis cussed the work incident to park supervision, and called upon the young men and women present to always remember the care of those under them, and if required, to call upon the police dept. at any time for aid.
 The Marshal said it seemed strange the Park Dept. should call
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-22

upon a common, ordinary fireman to address a body of learned and well educated young people. "Just what place we have here," we hardly know. declared the Marshal, in opening" and yet it is the Fire Dept. plays a very important part as you know in the preservation of life and property, and the safety of the people You will have to care for and look after the peace and safety of the charges under you; we think you will do 1t; you cannot be too serious in your work; often we hear people say the job will be there after you are dead and gone That is true, but pay no attention to what these people say Let it be said that while you are in office you performed your duties well, and earned the wages paid you'
 Reviews System
 The Marshal reviewed the history of the park system, reading a mes- sage as delivered to the Board of Aldermen of 50 years ago by the then mayor of the city, Henry l. Boughton. "Mr. Boughton must have been a far seeing gentleman" said the Marshal, flor he wanted to provide breathing spot for hum- anity outside of the busy streets"
 The Marshal then commented to the effect that Waterbury has been busy in those days, too. We read a short time ago where some former resident declared we were a city of 15,00O in 1885; the record shows we were city of 35,000.
 Quotes Baldwin
 Former Prime Minister Baldwin in talking before a large delegation of young people in England a short time ago, declared:-
 Its not only young men who dream dreams, nor old men who see visions. have dreams, and I am sure you have visions, and let us combine our dreams and our visions your eagerness, your strength, and my experience"
 The Fireman urged all present tt buy and read the address as given. saying it was instructive, education al, and of much value to the youth of our country. a
 The Marshal bestowed high praise upon the Hamilton family for the first gift of park property in the East End to the people of Water bury. Some of us were guttersnipes out here," he added. There were no parks or recreation for us, not withstandoing what Mayor Bough- ; ton had suggested. The goth century had started before our park system in any way got on its feet. He paid a glowing tribute to the young Supt. of parks, as he referred to MT. Curtin.

Minimum Wage Law
 Favored By Bridges
U. s. Senator From New Hampshire Proposes Sub- stitute for Black Connery Bill; Expensive, He Says

of tremendous bureau. ..
 T sincerely believe in federal minimum wage law" Senator present congress pass such law and am sure all my republican colleagues would too.
 Destructive
 Because am certain that the Black -Connery bill will defeat its own purpose and be more destruc- tive of the standards of life of our people than it will be helpful, shall vigorously oppose its passage. But I do not stop there As a result of conferences held with other republ- cans, have developed my ideas on this subject in the specific form of a bill which I shall challenge the democrats to sponsor as more ef- fective means of reaching our com mon objectives."
 "The Black -Connery bill is not minimum wage bill," Senator Bridges continued, but gives au- thority to the board to fix rates in the higher categories of labor. The board could fix the entire wage scale for all persons subject to the act"
 Collective Bargaining
 What becomes of collective bar gaining?" Senator Bridges asked. If the board is to fix the rates of pay, then at their discretion these five men may ignore the results of col lective bargaining. Labor should rise up in protest against this out rageous imposition. The bill is a bare-faced attempt to strait jacket both employers and employees under the will and discretion of five men who may act arbitrarily and with out responsibility.
 Objectives
 Senator Bridges remarked that if the administration is really sincere in its professed desire to help the underprivileged the social objectives of the Black -Connery bill could be obtained by simple statute, con- else, definite in it's standards and fair in its operations. He proposed as a substitute a bill by which con- gress CD Would fix a national standard of 40 hours a week for all industry; CD Provide that any com- pany might work 48 hours per week under uniform provisions for the payment of time; (3) Fix a national standard of 40c per hour for all as a federal minimum wage, with allowance for sub-normal workers and apprentices, under con- trol of the department of labor; (4 Determine after mature considera- ton based uponN expert testimony before its committees whether sec- tional wage differentials should be permitted between different areas.

 The Eastern Steamship settle ment was effected by Mrs. Fillmore M. Herrick, regional director of the labor relations board through a surprise pact yesterday afternoon. Seven ships were released by the strikers after terms had been agreed upon and officials of the line had promised that no retalia- tory measures would be taken.

the state visit of King George and
Queen Elizabeth.
Today's mine blew a hole eight
feet wide in the wall of a marine

in the early hours.
Police regarded the explosion as
