Small Town Vote
Holds Wi||kie Hopes
In Connecticut
Labor in Big Cities
Democrutic-Stute Offer.
A Real battle-ground
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

HARTFORD. Conn. Oct. 81
Wendell L. WILKES chances of
carrying Connecticut against Presi-
dent Roosevelt next Tuesday de-
pend on large Republican majorities
in the small towns and rural sections
and second on his ability to crack
the labor vote in the industrial
cities. which have been strongly
Democratic.
With election day less than week
away, this State is a real battle
ground Both New Dealers and Re-
publicans speak hopefully of carry
ing Connecticut-but neither party
is really sure. Both, privately, are
claiming the State by from $4,000
to $1,000 votes. President Roosevelt
ran up lead of 104 900 over ALI NJ
Landon in 1886. The Nutmeg State,
however, has deep Republican roots
in the past. Since Grover Cleveland
cracked the State for the Democrats
by a small margin in 1892, Con-
necticut has gone Democratic in
presidential elections only twice-for
Woodrow Wilson in 1912, when the
Republicans divided their allegiance
between Taft and Theodore RooSe-
welt, and four years ago. Con-
necticut stuck with Herbert Hoover
against Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1882. giving Mr. Hoover a lead OF
$4,000.
Willkie Clubs Active.
This year, the Republicans are
aroused as they have not been for
eight years. Scores of Willkie clubs
in all parts of the State are working
long hours and promise to get out
the G.. o. P. vote Democratic leaders
are figuring pretty closely and say
that they expect the cities to give
them a lead of from As 900 to go 900,
and with this to offset and overcome
Republican majorities in the small
towns and the country districts. Con-
necticut, like New Jersey, has COM
muter vote, which journeys into New
York every day to make living and
that commuter vote is expected tc
GO largely for Mr. Willkie.
AS in other New England States
there are large racial blocs of voters
There is a big Polish population
which the Republicans frankly admit
is inclined to follow President Roose-
welt against Mr.. Willkie. The same
is true of the Jewish vote On the
other hand, the italian vote is giving
the Democrats concern. The Irish
have been consistently Democratic
by considerable majorities. However,
not all of them are going along with
the President this year. The Yankee

Hike in Mine Employment
Will Not Come for Years

almost steadily from about 09 gross
ton per man-shift in 1880 to about 81
gross tons in 1887 despite a reduction
of about 20 per cent in the length of
shift worked.
The report also made it clear that
reserves of present commercial ore in
the Lake Superior district were suf-
ficient to assure the region production
leadership for at least the next 80
years.
That district produces 847 per cent
, Of the national total. The Birmingham
district in Alabama produces 90 per
cent, the Northeastern states 80 per
cent and others 80 per cent
GAS in the past. the high-grade, di-
rect-shipping ore in the Lake Superior
district will be gradually depleted and
there will be need for utilizing ores
that require benefcation," it was re-
ported
An increasing proportion of the
crude ore will be mined by the OPEN
pit method with its characteristic low
unit labor requirements.
For the next decade, and until
much leaner ore in beneficiated than
at present, the labor economies due to
the expansion of open pit mining and
to chronological advances at both open
pit and under ground mines will prob
ably offset the added labor require
ments for ore beneficiation, and the
upward trend of output per worker viii
therefore continue"

Continued Decrease Foreseen
Until Use of Sub-Marginal
Reserves is Practical.

Prospects for employment in the
nations iron mines, located in the
Lake Superior district, will improve
only on a longtime basis, according to
study of the industry made by feder-
al agencies an Associated Press story
in the Virginia Daily Enterprise states.
Other points emphasized were that
the output per worker would increase
thereby decreasing the demand for
employees; that the increase use of
benefication would mean greater en-
ployment; that barring a general war
the arrested rate of growth in the de-
mand for iron and steel products would
continue, and that the Lake Superior
district had enough reserve iron ore
to assure it production leadership for
the next 80 years.
A trend toward use of ores requir-
ing benefication and use of submargin-
al reserves that cannot now be mined
economically were factors cited in the
prospect for greater future employ
ment.
"Benefication" is the use of a pro-
cessing method to improve the physi-
cal structure or chemical composition
of the ore by breaking coarse Jumps
into smaller particles or concentrating
fine particles into coarser Jumps
The conclusions were reached in q
research project conducted by the Work
Projects Administration in cooperation
with the Bureau of Mines.
1.-THE longtime prospect in iron-ort
mining is one of growing physical diff
ficulties of operation as the high-gradt
and easily accessible ore is depleted,
it was reported.
with increased depth at iron mine.
and greater necessity for the bene.
fication of lean ores, labor require
ments per ton of merchantable ore ma.
no longer decline and it is likely tina
they may even decrease"
Barring the hazard of participation
in a general war, the agencies reported
it is probable that the growth in de-
mand for iron and steel products will
continue during the next decade.
From 1923 to 1888 the three majo
uses of iron and steel were the rail
road, automobile and construction in
dustries and an increased rate o
consumption by these in the near fu
ture was considered unlikely.
In submitting the report to WPl
Commissioner Harrington last June
Corrington Gill, assistant commission
er said:
''We cannot expect any Sizeable in
crease in iron mining employment evel
| if an armament program were to re
) suit in a large increase in the deman
, for iron ore. To reach the 1917 out
put of rs million tons, only about one
half as many men would be require
now as in 1917"
, Trends in the factors which mad
this possible were said to be continu
ing. These were centered around in
creased output per man resulting from
chronological improvements, technica
advantages inherent in large-scal
, mining operations, and increased us
of scrap iron.
Average output per worker at irol
mines, the report explained increase

Buck would have written into
the law tie same definition of agri-
culture now used in the social Sc

would have placed farm coopera-
tives on the same basis as farm
ers, now exempt from the wage
