President Roosevelt'S recommen-
dation for an adequate annual
wage for workers in the building
industry instead of a high day or
weekly scale, as earlier reports

said the federation leaders had
been unable to find the mechan-

 Scully, during the 1885 city cleo tion, was discarded by the admins tration workers, who claimed he was double e-crossing them by working with the Republicans. He was to have been a moderator in a district but at the last minute, was dis charged.

tablish trunk line highway through each city of the state on both north-south and east-west lines. The Waterbury trunk line is the first passed for any city since Bridgeport, in 1885, was able by a special act of legislature, to obtain portion of the Boston Post road as a state maintained highway which extends through the whole city.
 The state aready maintains part of South Main street near the city line because 1t was a state road in the town of Waterbury at the time the city limits were extended to take in the town. Such arrange ments were made by former High way Commissioner John A. Mac donald, resigned because of the Merritt Parkway land deals grand jury.
 Contracts Signed
 State Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox has signed other con- tracts for paving projects which concern Waterbury, on sections of Baldwin street, the first to the Gammino company and listed as $75,587, for one section, with the same company the apparent low bidder for a second section on Bald win street with a bid of $24,708.

CERTIFICATE FOR
 BRASS WORKERS
NLRB to Authorize CIO Af= filiate to Represent
 ABC Employees

An intermediate report on the re- suits of the recent election at the American Brass Co. has been filed, according to John Driscoll, execu- tive secretary of the Waterbury Brass Workers union. a CIO affili- ate, which won the election.
 Mrs. Eleanor Herrick, regional di- rector of the National Labor Rela- tions Board, has informed the union that If no objection is filed within five day period, a final certificate will be given by the NLRB, naming the union as collective bargaining agent for American Brass employees.
 As soon as tile final certificate is filed, MT. Driscoll said, the union will seek to open negotiations with the company. Departmental meet ings are now being held, he said, in order to secure the sentiment of the workers.
 The official vote in the election was as follows: Total eligible, 2,677: total voting, 2,237; for the Metal Workers Association of Waterbury, 623; for the Waterbury Brass Workers union, 1,185; for neither, 400; blank ballots, six; void, g.

state, led, by some observers, Dy State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone.
 List Growing
 But the latest addition, Senator Culhane from Waterbury, the man who ran behind Mayor Hayes by only 55 votes in the fall election which saw Culhane leading the Re- publican Independent Democratic ticket, under the general albel of Fusion, was deemed to have suffi- cient prestige to place Senator Gull hane among the leaders in a group which includes Colonel Thomas Hewes, of Pennington; Francis Ho- gan of Torrington, and Thomas Dodd, of New Haven. The last two named are officials under the New Deal administration and have cer- tain sanction from national head quarters of the party.
 In light of the Democratic array of candidates the late nomination" of William J. Pape, Waterbury pub fisher, for the Acknowledgements ship, as predicted in The Democrat two months ago, comes as an anti climax.
 That the Republicans feel fit to add to the sacrificial offering the name of States Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, Sr., as the capital which must be made to attempt defeat of Senator Augustine Lonergan does not add to their consideration of Publisher Pape's chances. Inas- much as MT. Alcorn was defeated in his own Hartford county for the governorship by more than 15,000 votes in 1884, could not obtain the nomination he sought in 1886, it was deemed less than likely that MT. Alcorn, in view of the disrup- ton of the Republican party he has attempted in Waterbury, would have even a one-to-fifty chance.
 Cross Dominant
 While the lieutenant-goVernor- ship this year is regarded as most desirable in view of the possibility of Governor Cross retirement in 1940, there are many indications that the choice of Uncle Toby would have the inside rail when the votes at the primaries of the Demo- cratic party are counted. But so far as the Republican nominees of second state honors are concerned, there was little of the same con- cern within Democratic ranks, par ticularly in Waterbury.

Question of which of two firms eventually will get the contract for paving of considerable portion of South Main street by the state high way department rests now with those considering bids of contractors from New Britain and Providence, R. I. If the state decides that the laying of 8710 feet of concrete and 500 feet of bituminous macadam re- quires only concrete cribbing to hold back the earth along the banks then the Arute Brothers, Inc, Of New Britain wins the contract with bid of $197, ,37428.
 But should the state require metal cribbing to hold back the earth, then the low bidder apparently is the M. A. Gammino Construction Company of Providence.
 Lawlor's Bill
 Whichever firm wins, the point of the matter is that the 1887 General Assembly, in bill sponsored by Sen- ator Joseph H. Lawlor, of Waterbury made it possible for the state to es-

TO the Romans, March was the
first month of the year. a calendar
custom that persisted throughout
Europe for centuries. England dio
not adopt the present calendar un-
til 1852, previously dating its legal
year from March Is.
Literally, March is the month OF
Mars, based on Grecian legend.
Certainly its warlike tendencies are
borne out by the furious winds usu-
ally accompanying the month. If
March comes in like a lion, it will
go out like lamb. or vice. versa.
If people are mad as a'March
hare" there's usually a mental all
ment concerned. March beer is ira
ditionally the best. since climatic
conditions are supposed to be best
for brewing in that month.
