''I'm selling to the cannery boat at
Whale Cove. Don't want the trollers

But you can't keep me here" she
cried. "And you don't know my
father. When he comes looking for
me-"
I'm bet he didn't make his money
taking girls around to wherever they
happened to want to 60" Johnnie
retorted.
He anchored, slowed the catch,
cooked supper. 1t was eleven o'clock
when he started to Whale Cove. Rose
mary remained on deck few minutes,
but there was no place to sit and she
was near exhaustion. She went down
the steps into the cabin.
Johnnie did not see her when he
tied up to the cannery boat. Even the
noise of unloading did not bring her
to the deck. He received his money,
Sl75.OO, and turned back to Coho
Pass. At two o'clock he anchored,
pulled a blanket from locker and
lay on the deck. At four he was fishing
again. He found bluebacks, took
nearly a hundred in the next three
hours. Only when the fish ceased
striking did he cook breakfast.
Rosemary still slept in his bunk.
Johnnie watched her curiously. Hair
curled about her face The arrogant
expression was gone and he thought
her pretty. At least she seemed natural
now, softened. Johnnie wondered if it
could be the same girl, or if tanning
would make her like this.
She wakened as he finished cooking.
Her eyes opened slowly and she
smiled. Johnnie had never seen her
smile like that and he grinned back.
Where are we?" she asked.
"Coho Pass Been fishing three
hours"
You'll have to take me home
todayv'
Johnnie wondered if that was really
concern in her voice.
Dad will have every boat in the
gulf looking for me-" she added.
LET 'em look" Johnnie said. The
Ross outfit has cost me enough. When
fish are running. don't lose min

deck, told her she would find hers on
the stove But she came up soon with
plate and cup. She stared at the fish.
then saw his blanket drying.
Did you sleep out here" she asked.
Couple of hours. Wen have an
other good day"
Rosemary squatted on the deck
while she ate. Bet they named you
early" Johnnie said.

Bluebacks we're breaking water in

crammed bread into his mouth and
started the motor They were fishing
again.
Rosemary's hands were so sore it
was torture to handle lines, but she
did not complain. She was more
adept too.

approved.

He jumped up the steps. Rosemary

 Several cases of social importance were decided during the term. These cases concerned the interpretation of social legislation, city charter provisions and labor relations.
 In the case of E. M. Loew's En- terprises, Inc, against the Interna- tional Alliance and Theatrical Stage Employees, labor organization, the court clarified the Connecticut re- lationship between employers and employees and upheld the right of labor to picket peacefully under certain conditions.

ABANDONED MILL BOUGHT

Stonington, Conn.,, Aug. 2-(UP)- The abandoned mill of the American Thread Co., which at one time em- ployed several hundred persons, was purchased today by John Findlay, member of the Pawcatuck Board of Trade, and two associates, who will endeavor to induce a new industry to locate here.
 The private purchase was made after the town finance board refused to appropriate $l5,000 to obtain the property and operate 1t as a munich pal venture. The plant and equip ment was said to be worth $i61 ,020.
 Richard J. Richmond, president of the Board of Trade, issued 8 statement today pledging support of the board in renting or selling the plant which, until 1t closed, was the towns principal industry.
 Meanwhile, Robert Adamson, Q member of the Stonington Tax payers league, brought mandamus action in superior court at New Lon- don to compel the calling of spe- cial town meeting to act on a rec ommendation the finance board be abolished. Three selectmen were or dered to appear before Judge Edwin o. Dickinson. The board claimed to have been created by special act of the legislature and consequently could only be dissolved by legisla- tive action. The dispute was an out growth of the boards refusal to ape propriate money for the mill pur- chase.

The unanimous report of the board urged the adoption of 6 mini. mum weekly wage of Sl46O for one year licensed operators, $15.50 for two-year operators and clerks and $500 for three-year operators. Overtime work, defired as work in excess of 46 hours per week, is to be paid at the rate of soc an hour to three-year operators, and $500 an hour to others.
 According to the report if any op- orator or clerical worker is hired for less than four days per week, she must be paid $4.00 per day. Maids and cleaners are to be paid 40c an hour up to $500 for a 48-hour week and 45c per hour for overtime after 48 hours.
 Continuing, t points out that the state minimum wage act passed in 1899, requires that minimum rates set in accordance with its pro- visions shall represent a fair return for employe services and an amount sufficient to meet living expenses. Employe services are particularly valuable in this occupation, the re- port maintains, because each opera tor must have had a years trade schooling costing from $200 10 ;S400 for tuition alone.
 Living Costs
 The report further reveals that the Connecticut Consumers League submitted evidence indicating that the minimum cost of living for the average working girl in this state is $17.99 v ekly. At present the aver age beauty shop wage is $17.74 for three-year operators and $12.53 for one and two-year operators, accord- ing to the labor department survey, with extremely low wages, sometimes no more than $500 a week, being discovered in certain salons.
 Expressing its regret that 1t can- not set a $1799 minimum weekly rate, the board said such action is precluded by the depressed" state of the beauty shop business, caused by cut-throat competition and a "severe price war"
 Waiting time must be retarded as working time and tips cannot be considered as part of the minimum wage, the board said. No deductions may be made from the legal wage exception those required by law or for life or disqualification Insurance. and 1t is also provided that the greater part of the equipment used by employees must be provided by employers.
 Deductions
 Deductions from the daily or weekly wage may be made for vol- untary absence when certain safe. guarding provisions have been corl- piled with. The weekly wage may te pro rated during the first week cf employment of new workers hired after the beginning of the week or dismissed or couse before the end of the week.
 The report was formulated by a board consisting of William Schultz of Hartford, Amory Brown of Will limantic and Henry Scott to Water bury, who represented employers; Mrs. Marian Burnham, Meriden, Mrs. Edith DuTilly, New London, and Carl Galasso of Stamford, rep- resenting beauty shop employees; and Mrs ansing Lewis, acting chair- man, representing the public.

NOT POLITICAL WORK

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 2-CUP)- Representation in the General As- sembly is not working on behalf of any political party" Attorney Gen. eral Francis A. Pallotti ruled today in permitting reinstatement in the state classified service of Rep. James L. McMerriman, D., Killingly.
 McMerriman, a senior clerk in the state auditing division, took 8 leave of absence to represent Killingly in the legislature, and was given his job back @ few weeks ago at close of the session.
 The state merit system law pro- hibits political activity of state em- ployes lon behalf of any political party"
 "The General Assembly," Pallotti ruled, lis one of the three distinct departments vested with power Of the state government (articles sec- ond and third of the state constitu- tion). It is not a political party in any sense."
 McMerriman also was in the 1887 legislature which exempted its mem- bers from provisions of the merit system law during their terms.
 Under this exemption. McMerri- man ran again for representative in the fall of 1889 without relinquish- ing his state job. He did give it up temporarily, however, when he began his 1889 term.
 Merit system advocates immediate ly raised the question as to whether attendance at party caucuses and partisan gatherings during the course of the General Assembly this year was not activity lon behalf Of any political party"

ONE-DAY CAMPING
 PARTY ARRANGED

Plans for a one-day camping party at Camp Mattatuck in Ply- mouth on the ninth of September were made yesterday by the scout- masters, cub masters and shippers of the central district of the local Boy Scouts in meeting at the Sec- ond Congregational church. There is not sufficient equipment at the camp to make possible the staging of a regular camporee, 1t was de- cided.
 The present plans call for natura hike to be held in the morning, un- der the leadership of Walter P. Green, of the Waterbury Natur. alists club, with sports activities taking care of the afternon and campfire topping off the day.
 The regular camping period at Camp Matatuck will come to close on Saturday, and all the scouts and the permanent staff will return home. The camp was open for six weeks this season, but will probably be open for a longer period next year.
