Hosiery Workers Quit In
Protest to Arbitrat'n Award

Philadelphia (ILNS) A large
number of hosiery workers in this
district have not returned to work !;
but they do not call this strike. They
insist that it is only protest against
the award of the arbitration board,
which, while refusing to make defn-
ite cut in wages, did allow reductions
of bonuses.
Emil Rieve, president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Hosiery Workers,
says that half the hosiery workers in
Philadelphia proper are back at work,
and that in the rest of the district
all are back. William Leader, presi-
dent of Branch | of the AFHW, says
that only 1,500 are back Rieve is
sued a statement, saying, in part:
''It is not hard to understand the
feelings of those who are opposed to
the arbitration award. Recognizing
that they have been misled, the fed
Grafton is certain that reason anC
adherence to union principles viii
prevail among them"

Strikers Reinstated

Moundsville, W. Va. (OLNs) Two
hundred and forty Moundsville work
ers, idle since October II, 1886, due
to a strike at the United States Stamp

instated in ruling by the National
Labor Relations Board. Persons en-

How do we know they sold those

And why should they be selling al

Now-who do you suppose these

Who would have the nerve to sell

Then to buy stocks which they knew

And who would have money enough

Who else, but

Dinner 'Fixings'
 Reported Lower For Thanksgiving

When Mrs. Waterbury goes to buy her turkey and fixings for the Thanksgiving dinner next week she will find prices slightly lower than they were a year ago. Not only is the price of turkey down from last year, but all the other foods that go to make up the tra- ditional New England Thanks giving dinner are also priced down a bit.
 The average price of turkeys this year is from 20 to 31 cents a pound. Connecticut turkeys and turkeys especially selected range somewhat higher in price. Last year the average price was from 31 to 35 cents a pound.
 Meat markets and grocery stores have laid in large stocks in preparation for an expected rush of pre-holiday :. buying. Thanksgiving delicacies have been on display in many stores, mak- ing many mouth water in an- ticipation.
 Local meat dealers say that this years turkeys are of a high quail ity, and will enable local cooks to live up to their tradition of hav- ing savory, tasty turkey grace their table on Thanksgiving Day.

YOUTH FINDING
 PRIVATE WORK
I069 Names Taken From IVA Rolls Within Past
 Five Months

Work project rolls of the National Youth Administration in Connecti- cut have recently given indications that employment opportunities for young men and women are increas- ing, according to figures released today by State Director Richard A. Barrett. A total of 066 young men and women throughout the state have left MA projects for jobs in private employment during the five months from June 1 to November l.. MT. Barrett stated that the number leaving in each of these months have shown a substantial increase over the proceeding month, which is further sign of better employment conditions. Figures available in the state office of the MA show clearly that NYA employment figures over the past three years have reflected business conditions with considerable accuracy. This lends considerable significance to the present trend. It also demonstrates very positively, ac- cording to the state director, that unemployed youths are willing and eager to support themselves with private jobs, if the opportunity to secure such jobs exists.
 The IVA as at present employing on it's projects total of 2,296 young men and women between the ages of IS and g who have been certi- fled as to need by local welfare de- partments. This figure represents a drop from 8 peak of over 2,5OO in early July. The state director point ed out that the total drop in the rolls since July is considerably small- CT than the number going into pri- vate employment since that date, because of the fact that the IVA has rpelaced some of those leaving with new applicants referred by well fare departments.

Changes in the present liquor con- l trol act will be proposed to the 1gS0S General Assembly by the Connecti-s <
 cut Restaurant and Liquor Dealers: 1:
 Boards of Trade, of which Harmon!
 A. Genlot of this city is field direc-i
 tor. The organization has submitted {
 its proposed changes to the state
 legislative council, but should thatl
 body fail to adopt it's recommenda- \ tionS the organization is prepared tOlI have introduced a bill ernbodying its;I suggestions.
 One change sought is the settingiI of 1 a. m. as the closing hour forlI the sale of liquor the year round. This would mean o'clock standardsI time in the fall and winter, and 1sIi o'clock daylight saving time in thesll spring and summer. At present. sales must end at midnight duringlI the standard time period and at l;' a. m. in the daylight time period. 1
 Another change being sought 1sss,, one which would enable the stategI liquor commission to retain 25 per- cent of the permit fees, which arsll now turned over to the respectives'II towns after being collected by theIi state. The money would be used for.ll enforcement of the liquor laws byll the commission.
 Also sought is an amendment ale, lowing the sale of liquor after the. closing of the polls on election day.ii At present, permittees cannot sell at any time on election day.
 The organization recommends,l that the price of hotel permits, now, based on the population of the city, be based instead on the number of, rooms in the hotel. The permit fees would range from $500 to $l,5OO. !,
 Reduction in restaurant permits from $75O to $500 is also sought.
