Naugy, Ansonia
 Clash Thursday

Naugatuck, Nov. 2.-Coach Pete Foley;s Naugatuck high school foot ball team will wind up its season tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 when 1t will meet Ansonia high at Recrea- ton field. Ansonia is rated among the best teams in the state and de- spite the fact that the Garnet has shown much improvement in its past three games, there are very few here who believe Naugatuck will win.
 Most borough fans are hoping 1t will not be a runaway. The weather conditions may affect the game but just which team may be hurt by the probability of a wet gridiron and wet ball remains to be seen. Nauga- tuck has depended to some extent on it's aerial attack this year, but on the other hand a slippery field might slow up the visitors.
 Naugatuck has only won two games this season but these have been won in the last three games played. It is expected there will be a large crowd on hand when the starting whistle is blown.

Much foolish and impotent talk
about the Fifth Column is going the
rounds Who are the Fifth Column
lists? First, who are they not They
are not hungry men seeking work in
the WPA. They are not inconsequen-
tial government clerks on the civil SER

country is represented by the follow
ing:
/. Paid spies, agents and tourists Of
Germany and Russia in this country.
g. American adherents of Hitler and
Stain, directly and indirectly obligated
to the foreign dictators. This includes
the American Communist Party, and
the Nazi Bund.
3. Fellow travellers, who abet and
aid these Americanized adherents to
nazism.
4. All who advocate totalitarianism
There is no use ito kid ourselves. In
this hour, citizan,. is either for the

Job. Placements Jump
War Industries Boom

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-Almost
0,000 job placements were made by
state employment-security agencies in
May, an increase Of approximately 20
per cent over the previous month, Fed.
eral Security Administrator Paul V.
McNutt announced here. In addition,
$4,000 supplemental placements were
made, he said.
McNutt said the Social Security
Board reported that for May job in
surance benefit payments rose to
S54, 100000. He explained that this 80
per cent rise over April figures was
due largely to the increased number
of compensate claims in states which
began new uniform benefit years in
April. Approximately 1900, 600 claims
were filed, and minimum of 1,4OO,O0C
claimants received benefit payments
during the month.
The boards report of placement ac-
ticities for May, McNutt pointed out,
reflected an improvement in employ
ment conditions in some seasonal in
dustries as well as the usual rise in
agriculture at this time of the year.
Reporting an increase of approx
mately 100000 in employment in non
agricultural industries between April
and May, which brought the level of
employment Of these industries ap-
proximately 100000 above the cor
responding period of last year, Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins noted
continuance Of "rapid expansion" in
the war-materials industries.
Miss Perkins said this development
was particularly apparent in airplane
and engine manufactures, private
shipyards, machine tool factories
steel mill and certain other industries
affected directly or indirectly by wal
orders. She remarked that in aircraft
manufacture, for example, employment
in May was nearly triple that in the
year 1887.

sion of the Connecticut minimum
wage law to men as we'll as women,
and the insurance of 20 new orders un-

islation, setting minimum rates for
women workers in certain industries,
were among the significant develop
ments in State minimum-wage legisla-
ton during the past year, states the
Women's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor.
GAS a result of the 20 new orders
issued during the past year, the bene-
fits of State minimum-wage legislation
have been extended to an additional

"It is significant that almost two
thirds of these recent wage orders ap-
ply to service or intra- State industries
not covered by the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act"
Two new laws passed in 1889 include
one for Maine limited in scope to the
fsh-packing industry and general
law enacted for women workers in
Alaska, bringing altogether now about
100000 women under State min
imum- wage laws in 26 States, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
Alaska.
Twenty-Five States do not have this

Local Difficulties Settled
Referring to the several State min
imum wage laws that have been in
volved in court cases during recent
years, due to the administrative pro
cedure followed by some State labor
departments, the Womens Bureau ex,
planned that most of these local diff
culties had been satisfactorily settled
The latest compilation Of the q
States now having minimum wage
laws are: Arizona, Arkansas, Califor
