strike, backed by the almost unani- nous vote of the 400 drivers in i've Connecticut cities, including Water bury, union officials will meet with company officers tomorrow at New Haven in an attempt to arbitrate the issues of the dispute.
 Martin J. Kelly, president of the local unit of about 100 drivers who voted to strike, will attend the con- ference, which will be held at the office of Attorney David E. FitzGer- aid, who represents the union. The company has selected Attorney Jo- seph Berry of Hartford as its arbi- trator.
 No Details Given
 Pending the termination of nego- tiations, no revelation of the issues at stake has been made by the com- pany or union. They. they believe, will aid early settlement. Drivers of Derby, Bridgeport, Norwalk, New Britain and Waterbury are involved.
 Question of whether or not the union has a right to arbitrate will be discussed at the initial meeting of union and company officials to- morrow. Attorney Berry, according to O'Brien. has suggested that they should arbitrate to determine whether we have the right to arbi- trate."

 4There is hardly anything l eat now that disagrees with my stom- ach since I took your splendid medicine. declared Mrs. Ami He'll man of lo2 Locust St., Waterbury, whose husband is employed as a Machinist at the Waterbury Brass Foundry.
 sBefore I took vendol. nearly everything ate seemed to disagree with me and I hardly knew what 1t was to eat meal but that in about two hours my stomach would be- gin to churn and grumble with gas, which caused terrible pains all through it. Hot, acid risings would rise up and felt as though 1t burned my throat raw. The gas was often So bad it made me short of breath and caused a full, heavy, bloated  feeling after eating.
 T was troubled with constipation all the time and this was the cause of all my ailments. Many times l felt SO dizzy, nervous and weak I would just have to sit down and let my housework go. hardly knew what it was to get Q restful nights sleep, and most always awakened with Q headache and feeling tired out.

New Athletic Field Costs Government
 $156,8O4 To Date
Rehabilitation of Wilby High School Cost S56,64o; Proposed Limitation of $25,OOO Would Have Pre-
 vented Tasks; No City Expenditures Mentioned

Two important Waterbury WPA projects, costing more than $210,- GOO, could not have been done if the newly-proposed limit of $25 ,000 on WPA construction projects were in effect at the time they were started, says the WPA press infor- nation service in dispatch from Washington today.
 The bill now pending in congress to limit construction costs would have prevented the erection of the municipal stadium and athletic field on Watertown avenue, at cost of $156 ,804, and the rehabilitation of the Wilby high school at cost of $56,649. These figures do not include the city's contribution as sponsor of the projects.
 Other Projects
 These figures do not include either numerous other local WPA projects. whose cost has run into the hun dreds of thousands of dollars. These include street repairs, installation of storm and sanitary sewers, park and school repairs, street paving, and many other such items.
 The $25 ,000 limit would have pre- vented the start of no less than 50 WPA projects in the state, all of which cost more than the maximum now proposed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-16


 The Waterbury and Connecticut figures have been submitted to the congressional committee investiga- tion of WPA by Colonel F. c. Har- rington, national WPA administra- tor.
 Also pending in congress is legis- lation which would reduce the ap- propriations for WPA, beginning July 1. This would necessitate the laying-off of many thousands of WPA workers, and would create a serious situation in a city such as Waterbury. where the relief problem is already acute.
 Protest Limitation
 Officials of many Connecticut communities have telegraphed or written to Washington protesting against the limitation of cost on WPA projects, and On the curtail- ment of the WPA appropriation.
