"JOint Court House"

1t probably was just clerical err

Schmenk and the board of Putnam
county commissioners have been
swamped for weeks by prospective
statesmen.
Schmenk said that an industrial
activity bulletin listed "New Putnam

the confused county official, "is that

if the fumigating is done on calm
day when the temperature is above
rs degrees Fahrenheit. All openings
in the granary must be closed.
The carbon bisulphide may be
poured into shallow pans placed on
top of the grain. The chemical will
evaporate and the gas will settle
downward through the grain. An
other method is to half bury sacks
below the surface of the grain in the
bin and then saturate the sacks with
carbon bisulphide.
The chemical can be poured direct
ly on grain which is not to be milled
soon and then the grain covered with
canvas or a tarpaulin. The granary
should be kept closed for "a hours
after the fumigation is begun.
Weevils are killed by contact with
the carbon bisulphide gas.
Care should be taken to breathe
as little of the fumes as possible be-
fore closing the granary. Open
flames of all kinds and burning
tobacco must be kept from contact
with the gas which is infammable
when mixed with air.
To prevent manifestations of
weevils, granaries should be thor
oughly cleaned when emptied; and
hydrated lime should be swept into
cracks and crevices where fragments
of grain are lodged. Dry grain is
less susceptible than wet grain to
attacks by weevils.

mans greatness by his enemies.

A drop in cash receipts on 65
western Ohio farms in 1888, as COM
pared with 1897, caused an average
decrease of $64 spent for livestock,

farms would mean S16,0O0,000 less

"The price of copper to be that
quoted-for delivery at Connecticut
Valley points" This phrase is very
innocent in sound but in effect con-
trolls the destinies of many thousand
workers. This innocent appearing
phrase appears in the agreement of
the Butte Miners Union and very
definitely ties together those workers
that are divided by the width of a
continent.
Dependent upon the conditions
and wages of the Brass Workers are
the wages and conditions of the
miners in Butte because the price Of
copper determines the wages in Butte
and the wage demands and condi-
tons of the workers in Connecticut,
1.-THE brass center of the world" de-
termine the price Of brass which in
turn determines the price of copper.
In the early days of MIRA when
o-rganizational efforts of labor unions
met with the approval of the gov
eminent, the need of organizing the
fabricating end of our industry was
recognized by the more progressive
and militant Of the International.
Representatives came East and re-
ported the great field to organize
and the need of organization. Either
through timidity or a lack of mill
fancy, nothing was done toward
launching a drive to organize this
important part of our industry.
In common with countless millions
Of workers desiring organization,
nearly 100000 brass workers were
left to founder h~opelessly and suffer
a lack of leadership and organiza-
tional aid. A golden opportunity to
organize the metal industry was all
but lost. Many thousand workers
were embittered by the setbacks
they suffered through the lack Of
a responsible organization to lead a
real drive.
With the change in leadership of
our international in 1886 replacing
timid leaders with new progressive
and militant blood, the picture be-
gan to change. Organizers were sent
into Connecticut with instructions to
organize not only the Anaconda
holdings of the American Brass but
the rest Of the leaders in the in
dustry.
Almost Immediately a united front
of opposition was presented by these
companies through their Manufac-
turers Association. This association
began a campaign of such vicious
proportions that all propaganda of
the past faded into insignificance.
Red-baiting was carried on in an
unparalleled manner. A cry of

4. F. OF |. Committee
Interviews Lawmakers
On Prevailing Wage

WASHINGTON, D. c. (AFLWNS).
Leaders in Congress we're inter
viewed by an A. F. of L. committee
headed by William Green, president,
with regard to the recommendation
adopted by the conference of over
200 representatives of A. F. Of l..
national and international unions
that the prevailing wage be restored
on WPA projects.
In addition to Mr.. Green, the COM
mittee consisted of Harry Bates,
president of the Bricklayers, Masons
and Plasterers international Union;
George @. Lynch, president of the
Pattern Makers League; John P.
Frey, president of the Metal Trades
Department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, and 1. M. Ornburn,
ecretary-treasurer of the Union
Label Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor.
The committee, with President
Green as its spokesman, urged Will
liam B. Bankhead, Speaker of the
House of Representatives and Sam
Rayburn, House Majority Leader, to
continue the fight for the restoration
of the prevailing wage provision.
Mr.. Green told newspaper reporters
he was neither encouraged o dis
~couraged' by the talks with the
House leaders.
After comforting with Vice Presi-
dent Garner, Mr.. Green said he had
received the impression from the
Senate's presiding officer that there
was very little he could do in con-
nection with the prevailing wage
question.
Senator James F. Murray and
Representative Adolph ]. Sabbath,
leaders of the movement to restore
the prevailing wage rate, announced
that they were endeavoring to have
hearings held on their bills amend
ing the WPA appropriation law in
this respect.

 Now serving over half the State of Connecticut, the Plan For Hos pital Care has offices in New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury and Middle town, with benefits being extended through local hospitals in the aS- ditional communities of Milford, Manchester and Torrington.
 Figures recently released by the American Hospital Association show that this is now rated as the eleven tn largest of the A similar plans in operation throughout the United States. It is estimated that at the present rate of swift growth, over 100000 Connecticut residents will be receiving benefits by 1940. Patients who are receiving care at the pres ent time under the Plan are aver aging over 300 individuals month.
