The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-03-10

I'm beginning to think the wo- men of Waterbury are an overly timid group. WATR's street broad- casts, which originate In Exchange Place every Tuesday and Friday at noon, supply the reason for that statement. Although the number of folks who watch the broadcast is evenly divided between male and female, fully % percent Oe those who volunteer to face tho mike are men. Evidently the ladies are more subject to "miko fright" or can it be true that wo- man is, after all, the weaker sex?
 We told you last week that a young lady telephoned to recorll-
 mend very highly WATERS Wed- nesday night programs, from 6:30 to 7:30. Well, Wednesday night has rolled around again and this is your opportunity to take Q lis- tener's recommendation. One of the hi-spots in that hour Is the l5-minute program of Ivory Miniatures, presented by the nirnble-fingered Dorothy Jones. Presented at 6:45 each Wednesday, Dorothy's popular piano technique Is earning enthusiastic comments from her many listeners.

 The president didn't specify any standards in his long awaited substitute for the nvadated National indus trial recovery act but left to Congress work out
 tentative draft of the bill and have ready for intro ducton in both houses detailing standards. Chairman Connery of the House Labor Committee, who introduced the legislation, announced five-nlan Labor Standards Board should be created to administer it, he "brlely stated without regard to qualifying in detail the bill proposes to bar the channels of Interstate Commerce, the products of child labor, workers en- poyed at unduly low wages and unduly long hours or under conditions which violate the rights of labor by the use of Strike-breakers spies
 He further said, the bill aims to establish forty cent shoor, below which the 'hourlv wage ought not to fall. The thiry-five to forty hour week, which would be the working week, should not be stretched The labor board should have power djust these m itaons for individual industries and allowing for few exception trades in permitting longer hours on pay ment of time and half for overtime The President said that the general maximum working week should not be difficult to define.

Don't disturb the ash under the

bed sloping down from the edge Of
the door to the rear.
Now, shovel a charge of fresh
coal into the hollow toward the

to leave a mound of live Goals in
front. These live Goals ignite the
gases rising from the contact of
the fresh and hot coal, causing
them to burn.
Finally, when these gases are
thoroughly burned, clean the ash

efforts to bring these two gentle
men together seemed futile. Lew
is summoned Homer Martin, head
of the striking union, and John
Brophy, C.. I. o. lieutenant, from
Detroit and conferred with them
on Strategy. All the union lead
ers appeared supremacy confident,
and Lewis insisted the demand that
the union be recognized as the sole
bargaining agency must be conced-
ed if there were to be any strike
settlement negotiations.
Secretary Perkins, after talking
with both sides, went directly to
the White House. She said she was
excepting the President informed"
of developments. The belief was
general that it would be necessary
to invoke the personal aid of Mr..
Roosevelt to bring about a peace
full settlement.
Lewis brought about the tempo
rary suspension of negotiations by a
statement he gave the press. With
brutal frankness he said:
''We have advised the secretary
of labor that the economic royal
ists'-and the du Points and Mr..
Sloan are among them-used their
money to try to drive Mr.. Roose-
welt out of the White House.
Labor rallied to the Presidents
support when they attacked him.
''These same economic royalists
now have their fangs in labor, and
labor now expects the government
to support labor in its legal and logi-
cal detectives"
This was too much for Sloan, who
started for home with the remark:
"We find it useless to attempt any
further negotiations in Washington.

THE conflict between fascism

World grows more intense day by
day, and the German Nazi leaders
insist every nation must espouse
one side or the other. Air Minister
Goering declares England especially
should align herself with Germany

Eden in speech before parliament
virtually handed back to Germany
the question of Europe's fate. eve
cannot cure the world by pacts or
treaties" said he, cor by political
creeds, no matter what they be-"
He demanded to know whether Ger
many intended to use the ''mani-
fold gifts of her people to restore
confidence to world sick of an
tagonism," or "to the sharpening of
international antagonism and pol
icy of even greater economic isola-
tion.''
German officials called Eden's
speech "untimely;;" and Ulrich Won
Hassel, German ambassador to
Italy, speaking in Cologne, described
the "axis of Rome-Berlin" as
central pivot around which the
whole of Europe revolves."
Germany and Italy," he said,
"are destined to fight the false doc
trines of the east (Russia) and sur
mount western capitalism. Germany
and Italy are neither east nor west,
but the center, and Europe will be
able to keep in harmony only if
they remain the strong central AK

Refuelins Furnace Fire Correct
Way Means Most Heat at
Lowest Fuel Cost

HERE'S an art in refueling
= furnace fire that enables you
to get the most heat at the least
cost. There's more to it than just
scooping up a few shovelfuls Of
coal and tossing it into the firepot.
The economical way is simple.
Shake the CRATES gently when
necessary. Don't do it vigorously
and shake a lot of live Goals into
the ashpit. When you see a slight

ing. Then pull a mound of live
Goals from the rear to the front
of the firebox, just inside the fire.

CONGRESS did not wait for the
~ Inauguration to rush through
the bill asked by the President ex-
tending for two and one-haf years
his power to control the two
billion dollar sterilization fund and
to devalue the dollar. Senator Van
denberg and Representative Smell,
minority leaders, made futile eff
forts to amend the measure so that
it would call on the secretary of the
treasury to submit to congress a
complete audit and report upon
the operations of the fund after the
expiration date in 1889.
The fund originated three years
ago at the time of the 40 per cent
debasement of the dollar. Gold
holdings of private individuals,
banks and the reserve banks COM
Wandered by the Treasury, were
"revalued". Each ounce of gold
formerly valued officially at $20.67
an ounce was arbitrarily raised to
$35 an ounce. This resulted in two
billion, 800 million dollar profit
for the Treasury.
The odd 800 millions was imme-
diately diverted to the Treasury's
general account to cover federal
expenditures. Two billions were al
located for use as "stabiliza-
ton" fund.- New legislation was
passed authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to use the stabiliza-
ton fund to manipulate the value
of the dollar in foreign exchange
transactions, to purchase silver and
gold and to rig the quotations on
United States government securities
in the market.
