NO INCREASE IN
 WORK SCHEDULE
Opposition Is Voiced to Longer Working Week
 With Skilled Men Idle

Opposition to lengthening the work week of the American laborer, despite demands for increased pro- duction for national defense, was voiced Tuesday evening by George T. McDonough representing the Wage and Hour division in broad cast of the United States Govern ment Reports" weekly series pre- senting the Federal Government agncies over radio station WNBC.
 The Federal Wage and Hour Law now limits the work week to A hours, and beginning in October it calls for 40-hour week.
 MT. McDonough pointed to this country's experience during the last war and quoted from orders of the Chief of Ordnance mad the Quartermaster General of the U. S. Arrny-issued seven months after Americas entry-that reasonable hours, faid working conditions, and a proper wage scale are essential to high production"
 We must not forget" MT. Mo- Donough said, "that there are still eight to ten million unemployed in the United States. It will be time enough to talk about lengthening the work week after industry has absorbed these people"
 In reply to criticisms from some employers that they can't find skilled workers among the jobless and can't afford to pay for over time, MT. McDonough said:
 "A recent tabulation by the So- cial Security Board of some 5,100,- 600 registered job-seekers at Federal Employment offices showed that there were 980,000 skilled craftsmen and 100000 semi-skilled produc- tion workers unemployed and look ing for jobs"

|Ex-Out Easter
 Spends Holiday visitingFriendS
BY THE OUT EASTER

John F. Hackett of Somewhere in New Jersey" had been visiting Waterbury, his native city, over Labor day; the place where he was brought up, lived, and played in his young days about the city. He has been a most successful man since he left here some years back, has made good, as they say, and is still prodding along in the pathway of success in his every endeavor.
 All of which is good to hear, good for those of us out here who have followed along this year as we have been doing for the past 35 years, with nothing ahead of us, but continuation of our duties in the factory job we have held since boyhood.
 We know John Hackett because of the Hackett of Out East. John lived with the family on South Main street, but there was seldom a Sunday in olden days that he did not visit out here, holding the hand of his good father, and keeping out of the heavy traffic of the day, the wild and wooly horse drawn vehicles that travelled "lickety-split" along East Main street as the heavy ice trucks of Hall & Upson wended their way to and from the old ice houses off the Plank road.
 Oh, but Out East has changed since those days; the old families are gone, new ones have taken their places, and newly built up sections now occupy the then va cant swamp land on the south side of East Main street from Englewood avenue, east to the Harpers Ferry road.
 John Hackett is fine man, a good citizen, and credit to the city of his birth. While his home is elsewhere, his heart, we think, is really in Waterbury. He relish his advancement, and take pride in the knowledge that another friend of by-gone years has climbed the ladder of success. Troop ', Kenneth Downey of troor
