Horbor Quiet After Humming Weekend:
Propeller Club Slotes Foil Meeting

Anti-climax to one of the
heaviest week end rosters in many
months. Monday there were only
two vessels in port following de-
parture of IL ships late Saturday

Eagen to Probe Longshoremen's
Rows and Then Report TO NLRB

f. J. Eagen, regional director
for the National Labor Relations
board. said Monday he was investi-
eating the question of representa-
ton among longshoremen at the
ports of Tacoma. Port Angeles and
Anacortes following filing of a pc
tition by the International Long
shoremens association (AFL).
Eagen said he would report to
the hoard in Washington, ID. c.,
as soon as possible. It will be de-
cided in Washington whether a
formal investigation and hearing
will be held. Eagen said.
Because both the lila (AFI),
which was on strike for two weeks
in the three Pacific Northwest
ports. and the ILwU (CIo) have
been issuing contradictory state
ments about the NLRB's action.
Eagen made the following state
ment:
Anyone May File

lations of the National Labor Re-
lations board. such petition may

Meats - Packers do not agree
with economists Of the department
OF agriculture that meat prices, up
sharply In recent weeks. will de-
cline after mid-september. The
government men say people eat
more meat while away on vsca-
tions. But packers say less meat
Is consumed In summer months,
and since industrial activity Is
greater, coupled with reduced live
stock marketing, meat prices will
hold.

amazement of people who feared an in- fringement on their civil rights
 It is pretty serious thing to be called officially pauper. It knocks the wind out of you. It leaves you humiliated and desolate. People don't take the pauper'S oath unless there isn't much else they can do. It is equally serious to be stripped, at the same time, of your right to vote. A man forced to live on relief for long period of time is not necessarily a poor citizen He is more likely to value his franchise than does the man who has job and security. He has more time to think about it.
 One can't blame Colonel Glover for wanting to do something. Maybe he was thinking of the New Rochelle, N Y, fam fly, on relief for four years, who main- tained summer cottage along with a town residence. Or he might have been thinking of the eight Jersey City officials, awaiting sentence for relief fraud. There have been abuses in relief everywhere. There has been some pampering along with some privation. Enough cases of mismanagement have been turned up to make taxpayers very sick to their stom- achS. But the way to end this sort of thing is not to strip people of their fran chise. Somehow, there must be more equitable way of strengthening things out.

No More Tourist Swindles

Canada wants American tourists. She has annually enjoyed an abundance of visitors from "south of the border" and the guests have always contributed handsomely to the maintenance of Do- ninion economy. But this year, Canada wants Americans more than ever. As a lure, the government is going to promise Americans that, insofar as it is possible to prevent it, there will be no swindling Merchants, banks, hotel keepers and everyone else who has benefited directly from tourist trade have been ordered to pay Americans the full premiums for ex- changing United States currency.
 Currently, the premium on American dollars varies between 10 and IS cents. On $1O0 vacation, this will add up to tidy little sum. And if the Canadian gov- ernment has anything to say about it, Americans are going to get every penny of it. Tourists, used to petty swindles of European shopkeepers who spot all Americans as suckers, will be glad to hear that in Canada, at least, they will be given an even chance.

South Britains new school for the feeble-minded is tremendous project in it's physical outlines. It stretches over an immense amount of territory and to the average person passing by the plant it resembles nothing more than a small village, the houses all of red brick. Inci- dentally there may be story behind the construction of the school this winter, what with the outlines of many of the brick buildings right now looking as if snow had been hurled against them. The bricks have bleached out in many places and if the state officials should take a sudden dislike for this appearance in the spring, we wonder what the builders would have to offer as an excuse There is some reason for brick doing this, but if it is to be permanent complexion for what are supposed to be uniformly red brick structures, then complaints can be expected.

The Connecticut River front from Hartford down Middletown seems to be getting plenty of attention from our road builders. We have mentioned plans for new approach to Hartford from the south; another plan contemplates river front highway through Middletown to take traffic away from the center of the city. Now third plan, due to be con- pleted this summer, calls for East Hart lords Main Street being transformed in- to parkway. From the Hockanum River to the United Aircraft Corporation plant this route will be completely reno- vated with an overhead bridge across Main Street.

A Thought for Today
Hold Everything

On the bare chance that Harper's Ferry Road may eventually become part of a trunk line route, the city is well advised in 'hesitating, even refusing, to contribute towards the construction of a new highway bridge along this thorough fare at the point where it crosses the New Haven road spur track from the Scovill plant. Although this bridge is relic of the horse and buggy age and should be replaced for safety sake, there Is a question if the city is required to do this necessary work.
 For some years now strenuous efforts have been made to have this road put III the category of those which are maln- tained by the State Highway Department. As Il all such requests the department haS managed to steer clear of any such en- tangling alliance to date. The last effort was at the 1889 Legislature and this one looked as if it would succeed for time; But something happened and the roao remains as it always has been. The re- sponsibility of the railroad arises rom the fact that the bridge spans its right of way, which it does not want to abandon.
 Mayor Vincent Scully takes the stand, and rightly so, that the city should not be obligated if the railroad seeks to re- place the structure over its property. Ana the railroad assumes the position that 1t doesn't want to put up modern concrete bridge, but just make the present wooden ramp suitable for present traffic needs. It hopes that the city will contribute to- wards such a project. That would be foolish for the city to do and Mayor Scully realizes that quite well.
 Creation of state road bypass, link ing the Meriden Road, the Cheshire Road and eastern approaches to Waterbury to the Prospect Road and South Main street via Harper's Ferry Road is wise planpln;Ig} 1.,;I} realize this soon or later. But in the meantime some agency much correct the dangerous condition along the. wooden bridge before fatality brings down too much censor.
