The move of the commission was
seen as adding to the financial
troubles of the Western Union and

reductions are finally ordered. The
commission has reported to a special
Senate committee investigating the
telegraph companies data on the
financial condition of the two firms,
indicating that. the situation might
be bettered by merger. In that
report the commission pointed out
that new methods Of communica-

Commissioner Walker pointed out

Edward j. Kelly, Of 81 wildwood
avenue, secretary of the Waterbury
unit, today called attention to an
article on 1.-THE Hughes Case" in
News and Views, monthly publi-
cation of the state employees union.
Involved Case
The case, which had long and
involved history, is still without final
settlement, but the union asserts
"this organization will exert every
effort to see that state employees
are dealt with in exact accordance
with the law and justice"
Hughes was suspended by War
den Ralph Walker of Wethersfield
on February 10 for allegedly using
a profane word to a prisoner. The
suspension was for two weeks with
out pay, and Hughes appealed
to the Advisory Personnel Commit
tee. Hughes denied he had used
profane language.
A hearing was fixed but Warden
Walker declined to appear before
Hughes and he was allowed to tell
his version privately.
The Advisory Personnel Commit
tee, early in March, approved the
two-week suspension but rejected a
recommendation by the warden that
Hughes be dismissed as a prison
guard. Nevertheless, Warden VOL
ker notified Pedsonnel Director
Harry Marsh that Hughes was being
dismissed March 10. The union
holds that this ruling, under the
law, was final.
Hughes, nevertheless, was not put
back to work, and the prison board
Of directors asked the Advisory Per-
sonnet Committee to reconsider, and
to approve the dismissal. Another
hearing was held, and it was pro-
posed that Hughes be given his pay
to April I, then resign. He refused
the offer. The dismissal order was
shortly afterward approved by the
Advisory Personnel Committee.
Automatic Procedure
Counsel for Hughes asked for q
writ Of mandamus, but States Attor.
ney Hugh M. Alcorn refused to Ger.
tify 1t, though, the union contends
this is almost automatic procedure
An application for an injunction was
refused in superior court.

Budapest, Hungary, July 12.-(UP)
Premier Count Paul Teleki in
dicated today the results of his con-
ference with Adolf Hitler at Munich
by ordering the whole Hungarian
army, officers excepted, into the har-
vest fields.
He refused all comment on re-
ports circulating in Germany and
Italy that Hungary had agreed to
withhold action on her territorial
claims on Rumania until after the
battle for Great Britain, so as not
to disturb the Axis powers in that
campaign. In an impassioned speech
to government party members last
night he said:

a small power on an equal footing.
I did not go to- Germany as a beg
gar. did not beg there and I did
not return as beggar. Our honor
demands silence. What is going on
is no child's play and nobody should
ask me to chatter. I therefore de-
mand unconditional discipline and
order from everybody, even as disci-
pline and order reign in Germany.

urged me to abolish it, because I am

troops to harvest crops did not mean
that mobilization was abandoned.

Union Abandons Plan
To Picket City Hall
Action Postponed Pending Another Conference Be-
tween Leaders, City Officials

Picketing of the city hall in protest
against failure to cancel milk orders
with Worden's dairy, where strike
has been in progress since April, was
postponed today pending further
conference between the Truck Driv-
ers' local and city officials. The dairy
management, which has been threat
ened with suit for alleged failure tc
return bonds posted by the strikers
maintained the stand that the strike
is a. "closed incident" A statement
by Rudolph Tata, business agent fol
the union, argues that the plan tc
picket the city hall was justified.
The union claims that Mayor Vim
cent A. Scully's declaration that the
city should not take sides in dis
pute of this kind is not borne out by
the facts.
The mayor said he know of nc
plans for further conference with
union leaders. The lhatter were ex-
pected to propose sue ha conference
today.
Mr.. Tata's statement follows:
The Transfers Union would be
the last one to ask the city to
take sides with either party when
1t is dispute between an employ
er and a Union making demands,
but the request that the relief
milk be taken away from the
Wordens Dairy is in our way Of
looking at the matter, a different
thing entirely and the Union
would like to place these facts
before the public.
In the first place the company
tried through intimidation and
coercion to compel men to give
up their right to an organization
of their own choosing and through
the mems refusal to accept the
compary's proposal forced them
to strike. Under federal and some
state laws this is forbidden on the
employers part.
In the second place, the COM
pany heightened the work week
for milk drivers to seven days
upon the termination Of the
agreement and beginning Of the
strike. This would also have been
forbidden If the industry were
under federal jurisdiction as the
government recognizing that I'M
fair labor practices to not tend
towards industrial peace, insists
that certain labor standards shall
be in effect before any company
may receive government orders.
In the third place Mayor Nc
Levy of Bridgeport had to make
the same decision in a strike
few years ago in a Dairy and
when the issue and unfair tao
tics of the employer were placed
before him he did not hesitate to
take the relief milk from the
dairy for the duration of the
strike and at that time the relief
milk represented by far larger
percentageg of the company's bus
mess. Mayor McLevy's decision
was not condemned by the public
nor by the fair employers of the
city of Bridgeport.
1t is our opinion that after be-
ing aware of the injustices on the
part of the company towards their
employees and the mayor has been
given first hand testimony as to
these injustices, it would seem
that any action by the city faith
ers in regards to refusing to pa
tronize companies guilty of these
unfair practices would be acting
on the side of right and not ne
cessarily on the side of the Union.
If the Union had not been able
to take care of the families of the
strikers and as CONSEQUENCE

these families had to go on relief
would the city fathers still have
thought that company worthy of
their patronage when that COM
pany of their own volition created
the strike? We hardly think so.
1t is true that the Union has
been successful in placing all but
four of the strikers to work, but
that does not add to the credit
of the Worden Dairy nor should
it blind our City Fathers to the
tactics of the employer which are
not even condoned by the fair
minded employers of Waterbury.
The above mentioned facts are
the issue as we see it and whether
non-patronage of the Worden's
Dairy by our city officials is a
step. towards preventing the
trampling of workers not under
federal laws Jurisdiction, or one
of siding with the union, THAT
is THE QUESTION.
We hope this will be given con-
sideration by our city fathers and
that the public of Waterbury will
study the facts before passing
judgment on our actions.

BOY SCOUTS LEAVE
ON MOUNTAIN TRIP

Undaunted by weather which was

Boy Scouts of Troop %, of the First
Congregational church left town at
noon today for a four-day visit to
the White Mountains. The con-

The boys are making the trip to
New Hampshire by private car, and
on their arrival, will camp at Squam
Lake, as a permanent base of opera
tons during their stay. From there
they will sally forth from time to
time, as the occasion arises, for ex-
cursions to various peaks in the
vicinity. They expect to climb sew
eral Of the nearby mountains before
their return to Waterbury next
Tuesday.
The scouts who will make the trip
were selected on the basis of their
rapid advancement within the troop
in recent months. The boys who
have been thus honored are Edwin
Warner, Ralph Smith, Richard
Foley, Robert Denis, Alex Aicheson,
and Archie Aicheson.

GERMANY FAVORED
BY Time ELEMENT
That Advantage Once Held
By Allies Now Shifted
to Nazis

, Cambridge, Mass, July IL - ~.
P) - The time element, formerly
favoring the Allies, now has shifted
to the Nazis' side, according to Pro-
lessor H. Duncan Hall, Australian
former liaison officer Of the League
Of Nations.
Departing from his prepared text,
Hall told a Harvard summer school
audience last night that the battle
Of Britain is in full swing now and
not "just about to begin"
we know little of the results" he
said, "but they are likely to be SER
ious. This not so much in the loss
of life as in the loss of materials
due to continuous raids"
Hall called for closer union"
now between the United States and
the British Empire as grounds for a
solid block on which stable
peace might be erected" He pointed
to the failure of France to accept
the British "closer union" offer,
which he said, came too late"
IF America waits until the battle
Of Britain goes against England"
he said, "fate will still pose the
same question of closer political re-
lations with the whole British COM
monwealth now or perhaps later
with the remnants, those Of the Do
minions that may be left battling
alone on the fringes."
Hall said the idea of a totalitarian
regime in Canada must not be
ruled out" If Britain is defeated.
Such a regime, he said, would affect
the security and morale" Of the
United States.
