Fifteen thousand auto workers were
made idle when union employees at
the main Plymouth plant of the
Chrysler Corp. refused to work yes
terday because the management noti-
fed them that the 40-hour week would
replace the 32-hour week which had
been in effect.
Disagree Over Clause.
The union and the corporation dis
agreed over an Interpretation of a
clause in their contract providing for
32-hour week to spread employ
ment during periods when only part
Of the normal number Of employees
would be working.
Richard T. Frankensteen, recently
reinstated international u. A. w. vice

cials at Detroit act on our demands. ,
Mr.. Little described the demands as
establishment of the 32-hour week
during rehiring, correction of alleged
seniority violations and adjustment OF
alleged wage reductions.
The u. A. w. International Executive
Board, which met in Washington this
week, announced that the union would
seek the 32-hour week in plants where
it has contracts until employment re-
turns to normal.
The Briggs locals Executive Board
protested to the International Board

PARIS, Oct. 8 P).-With the French
government now seeking an improve
ment in its strained relations with
Italy, the decision of Premier Musso-
lini to withdraw some Italian soldiers
from the Spanish insurgent army was
taken here today as an encouraging

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. s.-The
American Federation of Labor's Execu-
tive Council may determine today
whether to heed President Roosevelt's
plea for labor peace or stand pat on
its policy of waiting for John L.
Lewis c. I. o. to make the next unity
move in labor's civil war.
A. F. Of L, President William Green
summoned the council into a special
meeting after Daniel j. Tobin, coun-
Gil member and president OF the In
ternational Brotherhood of Teamsters.
pleaded with union delegates at the
58th annual convention yesterday to
order their leaders Ito try to bring
about settlement"
Mr. Tobin's plea, coming Just three
days after President Roosevelt sus-
gested that organized labor leaders
make and keep the peace" produced
excitement and speculation in the
convention crowd. But 1t won no
marked support
Opposition Voiced.
John Coefield. president of the
United Association of Plumbers, and
Daniel w. Tracy, head of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, reflected some of the oppo-
sition sentiment in discussing Mr..
Tobin's surprise speech.
Mr.. Coefield said peace now was
utterly impossible. We have gone
on record on this question. Why
should we turn back now?"
Mr.. Tracy said the A. F. of L. unions
wanted settlement but an honor
able settlement" which would not cost
them their identities or jurisdictions.
Reliable convention sources indicated
Federation leaders already had drafted
with care and deliberation" the policy
toward the c. I. o. they will place be-
fore the delegates next week for ap-
proval.
To convention which already has
taken critical view of some New Deal
agencies and laws, notably the Labor
Relations Board. Mr.. Tobin said the
President wanted united labor move
ment and labor's support for more
workers legislation.
He has asked you in the name of
common workers and all the workers
of our country" Mr.. Tobin said mot
to close the door against peace.
Plea Caustic and Dramatic.
'He has prayed to you and in be-
tween the lines he has almost said, II
you expect us to go on in the future
you must have solid labor movement
behind us, not only to sustain what we
have already done. but to encourage
us and back us up in securing more
legislation on behalf of the workers
Mr.. Tobin is one OF the A. F. of L.
veterans.
His appeal to the delegates not to
leave the convention until they took
action on uniting the labor forces was
as caustic in some phases as it was
dramatic in others.
He said he had more trouble with
some Of the organizations in the A. F,
of L. than he had with the G. I. o.
He said he did not like to hear lead
ers "commending industrial unionism,
fighting for the principles of craft
unionism, adopting industrial union
ism and taking every employe them
selves under blanket agreement into
their organization as craft union"

BY DONALD CRAY

with an oil emulsion or a mixture of Blackleaf 40.
 When plant is off color, that is, when its leaves are sickly green, and there is no sign of eating or chewing insects, the trouble may be due to insects at the roots or to a disease. If the plant has maggots around the roots, water with corro- sive sublimate (bichloride of mer- cury) in solution at the rate of l ounce to 10 or 15 gallons of water. A half cupful to each plant is usu- ally sufficient.
 If there is no signs of worms then the plant may have the wilt di- sease. There is no remedy except to destroy the plant to keep the di- sease from spreading. Wherever possible buy wilt resistant seeds.
 Scales, unless very numerous, do not kill plants. They only retard their growth. Before the leaves come out in the spring it is a good plan to spray all trees and shrubs with winter strength Bor- deaux mixture. This chemical can be purchased at any garden supply store and the directions are on the container. This spray will kill scale and insect eggs.
 Evergreens with brown needles may be infested with red spider. Spray with an oil emulsion, or 1 pound of ground glue to 10 gallons of water to which wettable sulphur has been added at pound to 10 gallons of water. A strong stream of water will also help to get rid of them.
 Learn to hand-pick bugs and worms whenever found, and collect them in a can partly filled with kerosene. Encourage birds because they will eliminate more pests than spray guns.

Legionnaires Opposed
 To War States Weir
State Commander Affirms War Veterans Favor
 Adequate National Defense in Radio Address

Men of the American Legion want no more of war but they stand firm ly behind a program for adequate national defense. James A. Weir, department commander of the American Legion, stated last night in an address over radio station WDRC, Hartford, in celebration of the 2Oth year of the Legion.
 Our advocacy of an adequate na- tional defense is not grounded in the hysteria produced by present world conditions" Weir said. He outlined clearly the proposals for navy sec- ond to none, strengthening of our land forces to include regular army of 180,000 men with 15,500 off, cers, national guard of 210,0J0 men and proportionate number of off, cers, and 8 reserve corps which should consist of 120,000 officers and facilities for training 30,000 an- nualy.
 Prepared to Resist
 "That program" Commander Weir said, served once again to announce clearly that the Legion is deter mined that America shall, when participating in international af- fairs, give notice that she is pre- pared to resist the aggressions of those who raise threat to our in- stitutions."
 Organization of the American Le- zion at a great caucus held in Paris, France, March 15-17, 1919, behind which Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was the organizing genius, and the growth of the Legion until it now includes almost 100000 members and 11,419 posts was described by Commander Weir.
 Currently the American Legion is engaged in the most unselfish pro- gram that ever has engaged it's at tention," Commander Weir said, "and that program is national de- fense as well as the great human itarian services the Legion performs consideration of disabled veterans and their dependents, annual ex;- pansion of the child welfare pro- gram and assisting veterans to se- cure positions, started right from the World war and maintained, even in the current recession period"
 Alien Philosophies
 Declares Commander Weir, we are, through widely diversified pro- gram seeking to preserve our demo- cratic institutions and provide for better citizenship through our Amer icanism program. We realize that we shall not be true to those who died in Flanders field if we rest con- placent while alien philosophies at- tack our American institutions. It is because of our responsibility that we ceaselessly carry forward a youth
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-16

activities program, that we work ever to better the communities in which our children shall come to adulthood."
 The great assistance which the American Legion auxiliary has al- ways been to the Legion's program is recognized by Commander Weir. He said that the auxiliary largest womens patriotic organization in the world, numbering nearly 500,- 900 members" has been untiring in its efforts in behalf of the Legion.
 Idea for the formation of the American Legion was conceived out of comradeship of those who served in the World war" and was brought to realization through Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, and some twenty fel- low veterans.
 Unpreparedness
 we came out of the World war realizing that its final victories had been long delayed because of the state of unpreparedness in which we engaged in that struggle. We know that there was useless sacrifice of life and property because of the lack of training of our soldiers and men. We realized fully that had it not been for the barriers raised by our allies, our effort in that war would have been made too late" he said.
 Because of the lessons learned in that war, the Legion has, and will, stand behind program for ade- quate national defense as means of being prepared shoud another world conflagration break out" Weir stated.

 All plants are prey to some insect or disease. Do not let these pests take the joy out of gardening. Take their eradication as a matter of course.
 There is no one insecticide spray that can be put on plants that will kill every insect and disease. It is necessary to keep a close watch on
