THE YEARS AT THE SUMMER
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The years at the summer which is really quite hummer. ,. Days at the morn, Soon 1t will be sweet corn. The locusts start to sing, Mosquitoes and bees to zing. Heavens are pearly clouded, All the beaches crowded. The sunburn gets pretty sore, Berry pickers knock at the door,. Chef plans his days cold plates, Folks come from many states To stop off at the fair, Look around and gad ana stare. The women folk don their play clothes, The men folk fiddle with the garden hose. .. Motor radios are squawking, Commentators keep talking. .. Oh yes, summers going swelli Tn the city or woodland delll The heats got everyone berled, And all isn't well with the world

day for foreign submarine re-
ported lurking along the normal

An amphibian repeatedly was to

The S. s. Iroquois with 584 Amer

Threatened Lewis Hillman Break
Perils Hopes Of Labor Peace

strongly supported the Roosevelt
program for repeal Of the embargo
LEWIS DISLIKES
NLRB SHUTTLE
Another factor making for COOL
ness on Lewis part toward the ad-
ministration has been the resulting
of the National Labor Relations
Board.
Since Donald Wakefield Smith
was replaced on the board by DR..
w. M. Leiserson, the c. I. o. has
been grieved by a number of the
boards decisions. The White House
has been criticized for failing to
make a finish fight for Smiths con-
flrmation.
All of these things figure in the
Lewis Hillman split.
The understanding here is that
| If this split cannot be healed while
the C. 1. o. convention is on, ana
its results In a final, definite
break. Hillman's 100000 clothing
workers will leave the c. I. o. and
the Roosevelt GOODNESS will
become positively frigid. The hope
in New Deal circles, of course is that
the two men can be brought to an
understanding.
If such an understanding does
take place, it is believed a new move
for peace between G. I. o. and A. F,
Of L. could be made with much bet
ter chances for success.

Rooms in the old Kingsbury
home donated by the Mattatuck
Historical Society are ready for vol
unteer Red Cross workers, 1t was
announced today by Mrs. L. P.
Sperry, vice chairman Of the war
production committee, who makes
a plea for new material such as
cotton, flannel and muslin.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Sperry said,
requests for public donations, have
brought to headquarters quanti-
ties of old clothing which cannot
be used at this time, owing to the
fact that a quota of new garments
has been requested from national
headquarters in washington, D. c.
Material requested by Mrs. Sperry
include besides cotton, flannel, and
muslin, which can be made into
clothes and hospital garments by
the volunteer workers, wool foi
sweaters, especially dark red. navy
blue, and brown. Mrs. Sperry said
that apparently a misunderstanding
exists regarding what Is needed by
the Red Crc:.s. and emphasized thai
materials are needed, not old clothes
She added that the amount Of new
cloth is still coming in very slowly

Thermometer Registers
Warmest October 10 in
Many Years

A record Oct. 10 temperature will
be set today, If the course Of the
thermometer from late last night
to forenoon today is any indication.
Rising from a low of 81 degrees the
MERCURY had vaulted to the 50 de-
gree mark by 1880 o'clock this
morning, and, as hot sun beat
down on the city, was showing no
inclination to stop.
Early today people were talking
about yesterdays temperatures, with
some circles holding the opinion
that yesterday was the hottest Oct.
o IN So years, with maximum heat
of IS degrees. The Office of the
plumbing inspector, reported how
ever that the mercury climbed only
to the SO degree mark, which was
some climb, but no altitude record
Yesterdays mercurial achievements
vanished into the background soon
after 10 O'Clock this. morning, ano
hopes became prevalent that today
would be the day.
Some there were who showed re.
sentiment to the rising temperature:
holding a preference for the brisk
October days such as those last week
but the majority threw open theil
windows, saved coal and oil, and re.
joiced for the Indian summer.

the Transfers Union, in the A. F..
of L. The understanding here Is that
Hillman's activities for peace con-
tributed chiefly to the difficulty be-
tween himself and Lewis.
This ties in with the general
question of the relations between
the New Deal and the G. I. O. Lewis
has been cool toward the White
House for some time, and the pres
ent neutrality fight has increased
the GOODNESS.
Lewis is deeply suspicious of the
arms embargo repeal, fearing that 1t
will lead toward war He spoke of it
with extraordinary sharpness in his
labor Day speech:
1.-The country is being told Of the
statesmen and national leaders who
are spending sleepless nights in
worry over the situation in Europe.
In every way, how much better 1t
would be If the same statesmen
would spend a few sleepless nights
j. devising a way for one-fourth OF
Americas workers to get a Job at a
wage that would keep them alive"

would take his union out Of the G.
I. o., the prospects for peace be-
tween the C. I. o. and the A. F. OF
L., would become much DINNER, and
the slowly developing rift between
the c. I. o. and the Roosevelt ad-
ministration would become wider.
If, on the other hand, the break
could be prevented, and Lewis and
Hillman should bury their differ
ences, the exact reverse would be
true. The drive for labor unity
would pick up new speed, and some
sort of reconciliation between the
White House and G. I. o. leaders
would take place.

For some time the New Deal has

10000 Strong
Nationwide Gather
ing to Pro m o t e
Safety in Homes,
Factories, on
Streets.

An army 10000 strong will in
wade Atlantic City, N. J. this
month.
But this army, recruited from
all parts Of the world, will be
fighting To protect life instead OF
destroy 1t.
The safety forces will be mobi-
lized Oct. 16 for the 18th annual
National Safety Congress, five
day council of war. From every
corner of the United States, and
from some foreign countries, del
egates will assemble for this great
est Of safety conventions.
Twenty-six years ago the or
ganized battle against accidental
death and injury began in earnest
with the founding Of the National
Safety Council, sponsor Of the
Congress. First on the industrial
front, then spreading into homes,
schools, streets and highways, an
ever-growing army Of safety work.
ers has been battling to make the
world safe for its inhabitants.
Once a year the Council calls
together its membership for a gen.
eral conclave-to exchange ideas
and experiences, to redefine its OBJ
jectives, to issue new materials,
new information, new methods.
The keynote Of the 1899 Con-
gress will be the assertion that
safety now can be obtained In
any quantity by anyone or any or
ganization that wants it-just as
groceries or other products may be
obtained. Any city or state or In
dustry, delegates will be told, has
power to determine its own death
rate.
Twenty-six years of work by
safety' engineers, educators, psy-
biologists and other accident pre-
vention technicians now has pass
ed the stage of tteorizing, specula-
ton and experiment. Safety pro-
grams have been formed from
common experience and now car
be applied to regulate and control
any kind Of accident problem.
Delegates to this years Congress
encouraged by substantial reduc.
lions in accidental deaths in many
fields, will be asked to accept these
as challenge to even greater say
ings. To that end they will mar
plans at the Congress for the fu'
ture Of the safety movement II
all its phases-traffic, occupations
public and home.
TIC Congress program ranges
alphabetically from aeronautic
through "a sections to wood prod
ucts. Five hundred speakers ant
discussion leaders will guide tn,
search for hazards In 140 distinc
sessions. Nationally known figure
will address the huge banquet ant
the annual meeting Of member
that launches the Congress.
Special committees will revea
the results Of year of research
on the particularly knotty phase
of traffic - the drinking driver
night hazards, speed, pedestriai
control, bicycles and winter driv
ing.
simultaneously, hundreds Q
delegates will consider industris
accidents and their prevention
while a large group will analyz
accidents In hte home, which Las
year took $4,000 lives.
