FEDERATION OF
 LABOR SESSION
Icontinued from Page i,

- m ---- -S~ ican Federation.
 Endorsement of Tone
 A plea to support the candidacy of State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone for Acknowledgements, was made by former President Thomas J. Shea, MiddIetow1l. He characterized his remarks as an ef- fort by "one friend of labor to help another friend of labor"
 Among the resolutions adopted was one which called upon the fed- eration to stand ''solidIy behind an effort to keep America out of war"
 Another, tabled for later conSidera- ton, urged resumption of peace negotiations between the A. F. of L., and the 0. I. O.
 Included in 10-point legislative program offered by the executive committee was a recommendation that the state conspiracy statutes be revised so that unions shall not be held responsible for the acts of its individual members.
 The proposal was an outgrowth of the truck strike convictions obtained last year at Hartford on conspiracy charges. The cases were prosecuted by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn. "One of the things we must not lose sight of," said Secretary John J. Egan, lis that MT. Alcorn and various other states attorneys are not very sympathetic to organized labor. There may be one or two ex- captions to that"
 Gov. Cross Speaks Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 8.-(UPl -Gov. Cross said today he agreed with organized labor that the states conspiracy laws should be modified and that he favored passage of anti-injunction legislation.
 Speaking before the 53d annual convention of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, the governor said:
 T don't think that the conspir- acy law was ever intended to have any connection whatever with labor dispute. It is necessary to clarify this law and to remove or limit the charge of conspiracy in labor disputes. There is really no conspiracy there but by the con- struction of the courts we have got conspiracy where none was tn- tended. I am with you there."
 The conventions roundly attacked the conspiracy law at yesterdays session, andn the convictions of several truckmen at Hartford last year during citywide strike.
 Regarding the anti-injunction proposal, which the federation spon- sored unsuccessfully during the 1887 general assembly, the governor declared:
 "You are right there. There should be some limits on injunctions. I don't think they have any place whatever in a labor dispute. There are cases where the injunction should be invoked but certainly not as a rule. There must be limita- tions placed upon injunctions."
 The governor also said he was in favor of the direct primary, to re- place the convention system.
 T am in favor of direct primaries. There are no other ways of getting the consent of the people for those running for office"

 Sketch of New Pastor
 The Catholic Transcript gives the following sketch of Father Sullivan's career:
 Father Sullivan is native of New Haven. He was born February T, 1896. He got his early education in St. Francis school. New Haven, and upon his graduation entered st.. Thomas Seminary. He took his phi losophy course at St. Bernard's Sem- mary, Rochester. His theological studies he began at St. Mary's Sem- mary, Baltimore, and completed at the American College, Louvain, Bell gium. His ordination took place at Louvain, July 9, 1922.
 Upon his return to this country he was assigned as assistant at the Church of the Immaculate Concep- ton, Waterbury. In 1927, he was transferred to St. Raphael's, Bridge port. Later that same year he was appointed diocesan spiritual direc- tor of the deaf. At the same time he became chaplain of St. Augus- tines Novitiate, West Hartford.
 His work among the deaf has been painstaking and unusually success full. A master of the sign language and a tireless worker, he quickly won the confidence and admiration of those with whose care he was en- trusted. His apostolate took him regularly to all quarters of the dio- ceSe; thus he has been under the necessity of constant and arduous travel. He has for some time pub lished and edited a monthly for the deaf. Our Guardian Angel. He suc- ceeds to a fine parish and an ex- quisite church. That he is worthy of both, those who know him, well realize. and his parishioners will at once discover.

that service of papers in a similar suit had been made on Libby, and that he had posted bond in con- nection herewith. When Attorney McCann entered the store and sery- ed the papers, he demanded that Libby post another bond in connec- nection with his action. Attorney McGrath said that Libby refused to comply because he had posted the bond in the previous case, which was exactly the same in nature.
 Attorney Robin Appears
 Attorney Morris Robin, represent ing Mrs. McCary in the action, served by Deputy Sheriff McCann, said today that the action in which Libby had posted the bond had been dropped. The attorney who represented Mrs. McCary in the initial action admitted today that he had refused to return the com plain to court, and had withdrawn from the case. Papers in the original action were served by Deputy Sheriff Dan Connor.
 Attorney Robin elaine dtoday that his agent, Deputy Sheriff McCann, was perfectly within his rights in serving the papers and demanding the new bond.
 Refused To Pay Rent
 The attorney who filed the original action for Mrs. McCary and then withdrew, said that Libby refused to pay the rent because the room of the store leaked and caused con- siderable merchandise to be dam aged. Libby will sue to recover for this loss, according to the attorney, who requested that his name be withheld.

Mobile guards took over the Port of Mar seilles, vital link with the colonies, which has been strike-gound.
 3.--The Belgian government was disclosed to have taken vigorous security measures in harmony with Frances reinforcement of the Mag mot line on the German frontier. The French and Belgian defense works are coordinated to provide 2 great military barrier stretching northward from the fortified Swiss border to the Netherlands.
 Thus, coincldent with yesterdays grave interruption of peace negotia- tions between the Nazis and the CzechS. the three great European victors in the World War were act ing in concert on united military front which served to back up their diplomatic influence at Prague and Berlin.
 There was, particularly in Eng land, significant burst of protest against any sacrifice of Czechoslo- vakia's independence as means of solving the minority crisis. The gov ernment of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has said merely that substantial Czech concessions are necessary, but there has been growing belief among liberal and labor leaders in the last several days that part of the cabinet considers necessary concession to mean vir.- ual equalization to Germany's Adolf Hitler.

 Sun sarcastically referred to Prince Konoye as the mouthpiece of the Japanese militarists" and as- serted that he is in no sense a leader of the Japanese people as Generalissimo Chiang is leader ot all Chinese.
 On Foreign Affairs
 Regarding foreign affairs Sun said:
 "What we want now is to sec the democracies, particularly the Unit ed States and Britain, take a more positive line in the far east. We do not expect nor want military par ticipation but what we do ask is: Why does the United States still supply Japan with the sinews of war-armaments and raw materials and thereby directly assist Japan in her aggression in China? Why do Americans still buy Japanese goods?
 Muddled Americans
 q feel that there still is much muddled thinking among Amer jeans on the neutrality question. Collectively the present policies of the United States must be consid- cred as endangering democracies and directly strengthening aggres- Sor states.
 q wish the American people would rally more closely behind the leadership of President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull for peace"
 Dr. Sun insisted that China eco- nomy and finances are strong. Re- garding the possibility of obtaining foreign loans Ca question on which Sun is an expert) he said:
 Entitled To Foreign Loans
 'Objectively speaking there is no reason why China should not get foreign loans. If such loans are im- practical now at least we should be able to establish foreign credits. We are not unable to furnish security for such credits, as some people think, for we still have a vast. pro- ductive population, and such val- uable resources as our Tungsten mines. Politically speaking the best possible security for any loan is the good will and gratitude of the bor- rover nation and its peopie--na. tions and people outlast any com mercial arrangement"
 Sun believed that China will call for a show down at this months session of the council of the League of Nations in Geneva and insist that the league take measures. lead- ing to an immediate application of economic sanctions against Japan. He said Soviet Russia will support China in. this move.

 Culhane Not Seeking It
 Senator Culhane told The Demo- crat today that he has made no at- tempt to secure support for the nom- ination for lieutenant-governor. He said that influential leaders in Hart ford, New Haven and Bridgeport have urged him to run for the post now held by Lieut. Gov. Frank Hayes. Senator Culhane stated that he planned to take no action before the state convention opens at New London.
 The battle between Ool. Thomas Hewes and Labor Commissioner Jos eph N. Tone for the nomination for Acknowledgements has led many observers to believe that deadlock may result, and that g compromise candidate will be selected. In addi- ton to Mayor Cunningham and 5en- ator Culhane, others mentioned for the nomination are Edward Ahearn of Hartford. and Thomas Dodds state IVA administrator.
 Cummings At Hyde Park Attorney General Cummings was said to have journeyed to Hyde Park today to confer with the president relative to the senatorial situation In Connecticut. It was reported that MT. Cummings will be asked by the president to withdraw his endorse ment of Senator Lonergan, given several weeks ago, so that the pres- ident could come out openly in favor of dark horse" candidate, perhaps Judge P. B. O'Sullivan of Orange. One Way Out
 Under this reported plan, MT Cummings would state that while he still favored Senator Lonergan, he believed the party would be better served by another candidate, since opposition to Senator Lonergan had grown. Rep. Kopplemann would then withdraw his candidacy and the way would be clear for the nomination of some one else.
 However, 1t still appears almost certain that Senator Lonergan will be renominated, and only drastic action by the president can bring about his defeat.

FARM WORK CUT BY
MODERN EQUIPMENT
Labor Saving on Par With
Industry, Say Experts.

WASHINGTON. - Farm produc.
ton has been mechanical to a de-
gree comparable with industry, &C.
cording to the department OF ag-
riculture.
Power machinery has largely re.
placed horses and mules during the
last 20 years in most sections Of the
country, w. M. Hurst of the bureau
of agricultural engineering said.
Machinery development makes il
possible for individual farmers to
grow 100 acres of corn with the
same amount of labor that his
grandfather used in growing and
harvesting FIVE acres in 1888. r. B.
Gray of the same bureau said.
Labor Saving Shown.
Recent investigations, Gray said,
show that the modern farmer ex-
ponds no more time or labor in pro-
ducing 5000 bushels of corn than
did the farmer 100 years ago in
producing $50 bushels.
In 1855, Gray said, the corn farm
er used a walking pillow, and planted
and harvested by hand. He needed
1916 hours of labor to grow one acre
of corn. The amount of labor per
acre was cut to ISL hours in 1855
and SO in 1880, he said. =.
Further Improvements in ma
chinery within the last eight years
including four-row planters and cul-
tivators and general-purpose trac-
tors-make it possible now to pro-
duce an acre of corn with five hours
of labor" Gray said
The development of the general
purpose tractor, Hurst said, prob
ably has affected American agricul-
ture as much as, if not more than,
the development of the reaper and
steel pillow of century ago."
Tractors More Practical. -
Only during the last 10 or IL
years, he said, have tractors been
developed suitable for planting and
cultivating row crops, for blowing
disking and belt work. Use of pneu-
matte tires has greatly increased
the practicabiity of tractors for
farm work and road hauling.
Adapting of field machinery to
use with tractors" Hurst said,
constitutes the recent major de-
velopment in what is generally
known as farm implements. New
machinery permits higher speed
and increases effectiveness in turn
ing under cover crops"
determination has progressed fur
Their in the cultivation and harvest
ing of grain crops than in cotton.
Labor in cotton fields will be re-
duced by half when a mechanical
cotton picker becomes commercial
ly available, it was said.

The propellers are operated on sep

mounted one Immediately behind
the other, and both in front Of the
motor and the plane.
The tests were carried out with a
