waterbury would face an adui-
ton Of 900 relief cases should the
WPA cease to function; 1t would
have 1000 unemployables II similar
assistance failed to come through
from the federal government -
these facts are among the salient
features In a report filed with the
Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund
by the executive committee Of that
group Of which William M. Harris
Is chairman.
The report Is based on $40 cases,
ITO Of which are men and ITO
women. The report shows that re-
lief cases for the most part involve
men between SO and 90 years Of age
and women 30 and 40 years Of age.
There were ITO men on relief when
the survey was made and only ITO
women and the next highest listing
was men under 30 years Of age and
women between the years Of 40
and 80 years Of age.
Others on the executive commit
tee with Chairman Harris are Rod

To the Members Of the Executive
Committee, Mutual Aid Unem =
ployment Fund Inc.
Gentlemen:
At the request Of Mayor Frank
Hayes, your committee was asked
to make o study Of the w. p. A.
organization in Waterbury for the
purpose Of establishing certain
fractional data that would en-
able the city TO estimate Its future
obligations TO this group.
For this purpose, five investiga-
tors were employed under the d.
rection Of Mrs. Margaret Verdon,
superintendent Of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare. They
have completed their work and
from the information which they
secured have been able TO deter
mine:
ID The number of men and
women employed on the w.
p. A.
(2) Their age classifications.
80 Their family status.
"a Their limitations because Of
physical handicaps.
90 The extent to which they
may be absorbed by indus
try.
90 An estimate Of the number
OF cases that the city must
be prepared to support as
the w. p. A. ceases to func-
ton.
This report Is based on 800
cases, ITO men and ITO women,
employed on the various projects
OF the w. p. A. Since the study
was started, 27-non-relief cases
have been released so that the ac-
tual number employed by the w.
p. A. In Waterbury today Is 1893.
A study Of the age table indi-
Gates that 357 out Of ITO men and
80 out of ITO women are over for
ty-five years of age or a total OF
$3.50 out Of $40. This Is not an IRON
clad barrier In itself, but, unless
these men and women are skilled.
which most Of them are not, they
will find 1t very difficult to COM
pete with younger workers in In
dustry. Furthermore. the study
sheets do not encourage the hope
that o.-.er members In the fami-
lies OF this group will take over
eventually the responsibilities
which these workers are now car
rying. In other words, all indica-
lions point to a large permanent
case load out Of this group for
the Department Of Public Wei
fare. The age classification Is as
follows for both men and women:

CHAMPIONS READY

~ the Associated Press.
MARSHALL, Mo-, Nov. 4.-Twenty
pairs of hardened hands reached to-
day for the championship of agricul-
tlre's greatest sporting spectacle, the
National Cornhusking Contest.
Thousands of excited spectators
tramped over the rolling acres of the
Weber Bros. farm, 8 miles north of
here. to watch the contestants, all
trained to athletic perfection. The 20
represent the pick of cornhuskers
from 10 States where hitting the
bangboard is major fall farm job.
Contestants arrived yesterday, and
tried out the corn in this area Just TO
get the feel Of 1t. Champions and
rlnners-up from States other than
Missouri said the corn did not re-
act to their touch as it did back home.
and attributed it to the fact there has
been little rain here in recent weeks.
The corn, they said, seemed to pop
from the stalk, but the husk had
tendency not to cling to the ears.
Jack Wolles of South Dakota pre-
dicted trouble from ears falling to the
ground. Contestants dare not leave
tho ears fall because of penalty deduc-
tions.
Twelve noon is the hour set for Pres
ident Roosevelt, in Washington, to

champions and 10 runnerS-up on 80

pate will take place before the 1st of

The chairman added:
I'm September, 1885, accepted
appointment as a member of.the first
Coal Commission, since which time
my entire efforts have been directed
to securing a law for sterilization of
the bituminous coal industry and set
ting up the necessary organization for
administration of that law.
"The two years have spent in
Washington have involved a greater
financial sacrifice that I can continue
to make, and personal circumstance
alone impelled me to tender my resig-
nation.
During recent months, efforts have
been made to discredit the Coal Com
mission and its work by charges that
its personnel is incompetent and that
it has been selected solely for political
reasons. The complete answer lies in
the fact that today we have an ef-
ficient and competent organization; in
fact, considering the short space Of
time allowed for the work, I believe
that an unusually good job has been
done.
1t has also been reported, that men,

bers Of the commission are hopelessly
at odds. with the result that little, If
any, work is being done. The answer
to that story is that there has never
been any division among members of
the commission on any fundamental
question of policy, and that after
weeks Of hearings, investigations and
conferences, the work OF arriving at
minimum prices is nearing completion.
These prices should be fully effective
before January /, probably between
