 An injunction is sought te restrain the union from picketins or interfering with the business oi the firm.
 According to Abraham s. Ullman counsel for the firm, the union has made no demands concerning hours wages or conditions, and desires merely to force the factory to leave this city.
 The May plant is small one anc the first ladies coat factory ever to be set up here. Most of the factories doing this work are ir New York city, and it is claimed the union desires to keep that type of work there.
 It was stated yesterday that the picketing ct the plant is not being done entirely by its employees, but by people from New York city.

 Ullman stated the union has thus far refused to negotiate or make demands of any kind upon the concern.

After a teaching exper fence of three years in other com munities, he came to this city a teacher of science in Waterbur. high school in 1902.

 With far-seeing vision he pre- pared himself by study and researcl for the development of vocationa training in secondary education His opportunity came in 1913 witt the establishment of Leavenwortl vocational high school of which h was made principal. With utmost confidence an faith, he battled early obstacles i the way of progress and relentlessl pursued a program which he be lieved best fitted for certain type of boys and girls.

Con- don said was result of charter regulations, routine of the control ler's office, and the wishes of the teachers, payments are made on the third week of September, and payments thereafter are made about every two weeks, with full pay before Christmas, and another on the third week of January.

 Thomas P. Ashton, president of the board asked MT. Kearney why teachers had not brought the sub- ject before the Waterbury Teach CTS association for a formal petit tion to the board.
 They're afraid they can't get enough teachers to sign," MT. Kearney said. And you know that teachers are afraid to call their souls their own"

day tour of northern and western France.
 The entire zone along the French side of the English Channel has been blocked off. The roads were damned with military and supply trucks, but the correspondents were warned not to reveal in what direc- tiOn they were moving.
 During the tour the correspond er1ts saw town after town which had been wrecked by German dive bombers and artillery. In three towns only the churches were standing and an officer remarked, 'eThe Etuka pilots had sport In bombing town and leaving the churches standing" The streets had been cleared of wreckage in order to permit passage of military vehicles. German military police were on every corner directing trat- fic.
 Poking In Ruins
 French peasants poked in the ruins searching for lost household articles. Their faces had no expres- sion and they spoke only among themselves.
 Tn several towns the correspond ents saw supplies left behind by the British Expeditionary Force which had been evacuated at Dunkirk. The Germans said there were 1,500 sides of beef, tons of coffee and millions of cigarettes left by the British "in their nasty evacuation. In one town the correspondents visited 8 British officers mess hall where half finished meals had been left on the tables. A sign on the wall said, "Hitler wants to know your name and the number of your dl- vision. Say nothing and he Will learn nothing"
 Tn Alsace and Lorraine it was found that the provinces, to all prac- tical purposes, already had become part of the Greater German Reich.

Customs offices, which II months ago stood along the Rhine, have been moved westwards and a process of Germanization has begun.
 We crossed the Rhine at Kehl two days ago and we met no cus- toms inspectors until we arrived at Donon Village, high in the VoSges Mountains.
 In Alsace and Lorraine French street names have disappeared and instead of Rue Marechal Foch we say such shiny new signs as Adolf Hitler Strasse or Rudolf Hess Strasse.
 Cafe proprietors have taken down signs saying Brasserie and in their place have gone up signs stytng Gasthaus. The French word biere has been changed to the German bier.
 Jewish Shops Closed
 Jewish shops, their windows shat tered, were boarded up. In several towns through which we passed the kindows of synagogues had been broken and through apertures in shutters we could see that they had been gutted.
 Except for bridges destroyed by French troops the villages of Alsace and Lorraine were intact. They had suffered little from the war. But economically they were nearly pros- trate. Food was scarce and except in Strasbourg, where three were run- ming, there were no restaurants.
 Strasbourg was ghost city. All but 300 of its former 200,0 ,000 residents had evacuated last September and because shops are empty and water and electricity are scarce German authorities have blockaded the city to all but few returning refugees daily.
