ASSEMBLY WILL
| STRIDE FASTER
Committees Got Busy With
Dozens of Bills That
Need Action
BY GEORGE r. MORRIS, JR.
QUEited Press Staff Correspondent

(UElted Press Stan Correspondent
Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 18.-(UP)-
The General Assembly swung into
fast gait today as committees
stepped up consideration of dozens
Of bills and planned to give the
house and senate full calendar
r t week for the first time since
the session opened in early January.
At least a dozen measures were
disposed Of at committee hearings
late yesterday and earmarked for
arly reports.
One would impose the death PEN
atty for kidnapping in cases where
bodily harm had been inflicted, and
establish a minimum prison SEN
tence Of 80 years. The judiciary re-
served decision.
Committees Divided
Senate and house cities and bor-
ough committees were divided on a
bill to restore municipal salary cuts
at Bridgeport, the senate democrats
voting favorable report as house
republicans vetoed the proposal. AS
result the measure, characterized by
Bridgeport's socialist mayor, Jasper
McLevy as an attempt to have the
legislature interfere In local admin
ic-ation, probably will die as result
of a deadlock.
The labor committees took under
Amusement bills establishing an g.
hour day and 48-hour work week
j state institutions, both sponsored
! the Connecticut Federation OF
Labor. Increased personnel, 1t was
estimated, would cost 1925, 900 at
Norwich state hospital, and $279, 600
at Middletown state hospital. At
Cheshire reformatory 1t was said
$20,340 would be added to the pay
roll by the revision.
State Income Tax
State socialist committee secretary
proposed state income tax to
finance the project, declaring the
readjustment Of the work week
appeared to hinge OH matter Of
cost"
The labor federation also spon-
sorcd another bill prohibiting the
sale of prison made goods in COM
petition with legitimate industry.
The judiciary was asked to vote

Local Organization Takes Initiative Against Property
 Owners, Prepares Petition for Board of Aldermen

A local CIo committee represent ing some three thousand members of the Waterbury Brass Workers union, most of whom are rent pay CTS in the city of Waterbury, will present Q petition to the board of aldermen at the next session of the group, 1t was announced today, fol- lowing passage of @ resolution at general membership meeting last evening at the union hall on Spen- cer avenue.
 The action of the Brass Workers union was looked upon today as an important step towards the solution of a housing and rent problem in Waterbury, one which was first brought to light in June and which has since become more important due to Q severe curtailment of>work- ing hours per week in many of the local factories and further boost of rent prices in many sections of the city.
 Statement
 The gist of a long statement read to and approved by the union mem- bers at the meeting last night is as follows:
 That the rent situation in Wa terbury is becoming increasingly acute in the light of the sharp de- cline of the incomes of working people while rent and food prices continue on the upswing. Further, that the union follow It's constitu- tional precepts "that an industrial union and the concerted political action of all wage workers Is the only means of attaining this end"
 The resolution passed last evening also states that 1t seems apparent ct
