A0 per cent drop in the attend- ance figures at the local schools was reported today by Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon, who predicted the decrease in enroll ment before schools opened for the fall term
 The decrease was expected both as a continuation of the trend which has been evident in the past few years in Waterbury schools and as the result of the prevalence of well-paying jobs in the factories and elsewhere this year resulting from the national defense program.
 Tentative figures announced this morning, which will be subject to slight revisions in the next few weeks, reveal that the total enroll- snent in all the city's schools amounts to 1S,074, Q decrease of 77i from those of i040 at this same time of year.
 A breakdown shows that the drop Is most evident in the high schools, as was expected with an enrolment of 4,146 reported. This Is 5ei less than last year, a drop of 14 per cent. In the grade schools, the tentative enrolment is S92e, representing Q decrease of 100, or roughly 3 per cent.
 All Of the high schools show 6 de- crease at the present moment, the intendent Condon pointed out, how ever, that there are always read-

J. Warren Upson, chairman of Waterbury Draft Board l5-B, for- ner Republican town chairman, and at present a member of the Republican state central committee from the 18th senatorial district, today stated that he would rather give up politics" than relinquish his post as chairman of the local draft board.
 The statement was made in ref- erence to the Hatch act which for- bids active participation in political management or campaigns of sel- ective service workers, according to an interpretation by national draft headquarters.
 MT. Upson added that he would not give up politics until other members of the clty's boards, also politically active, adopted the same course.
 T don't propose to be the first one to abandon my political work," he said. "When other persons con- nected with the draft boards, and in the same position as I, do so, then I will"
 MT. Upson declared that he would not resign from his position as chairman of Board i6-B, hut would rather yield his post with the Re- publican state central committee in the event that it became necessary to make a choice.

NEW LIGHTS FOR
 WEST MAIN ST,
Special Crew Engaged By C. L. & P. Company to
 Complete Work

New street lights on West Main street, some of them described as four times more powerful than those previously used, were being installed today by the Connecticut Light & Power Go.
 The installations will not result in any additional cost to the city, acc cording to Commissioner Henry j. Bowling. He said that several lights now in use on the Green will be dis- continued and that the other lights would be replaced by new-type in- etallaticns which cost less to op- crate.
 Complaints about street lighting on West Main street, especially in the area from Willow street to Wa tertown avenue, are expected to be ended as a result of the new lights. Many of the lights will give from two to two and a half times as much illumination as at present, while others, as mentioned above, will give as much as four times more light.
 In recent years there have been Q number of auto-pedestrian fatal- tiles along West Main street. Cries for better lighting were doubled after a recent fatality ct West Main and Judd streets.
 It was reported that the Connec- ticut Light and Power Co had to hire Q special crew to install the lights because of the shortage of available workmen.

justSnents between the high schools in the first weeks of the year.
 In anticipation of the falling of In school attendance, the authori- ties determined to close single rooms in the Merriman, Abbott, Chase and Driggs schools in order to decrease expenditures. No particular over- crowding has been reported as yet as a result of this measure, though several parents have been anxious over the possibility.
 Superintendent Condon said today that the first week of school had gone well, and that no changes or reallocations seemed necessary, ct least for the time being. There will be no need to make any shifts in the school district boundaries at least until all the units of the fed- eral housing , projects in the city are occupied in his opinion. When all these houses are rented, which will not be for some time, some changes may have to be made, ac-' cording to pr. Condon, but he Is not concerned about 1t yet.

 Once Working

Chicago, Sept S-(UP)- Nine- teen railroad brotherhoods an- nounced today that their i,l50,0o0 members had voted overwhelming ly to strike for increased wages aud other concessions.
 The strike was set for p. m. Sept. i1-but this does not mean that the lines, burdened with de- fense traffic, will become Idle at that time. The strike call mere ly projects the controversy into a new stage of mediation under the National Railway Labor act.
 No strike Is possible for at least 60 and possibly 90 days.
 The strike vote which swept the membership by 96 to 100 per cent rnajorities-brought to an end the second stage set up by the Railway Labor act after weeks of direct Labor Railway negotiations had reached Stalemate.
 Next step is for the National Railway Mediation board, sitting here, to notify President Roosevelt that an emergency exists. The President Is expected to appoint Q special fact finding commission to study the issues and no strike may occur during the 60 days this commission has in which to make its report.

 Reports from various parts of the state indicated today that many poe litically active citizens, who have been serving as chairmen, or on ad- visory or appeal boards, in their re- spective localities, would resign, in order that they might continue in politics.
 In Manchester, Constable Harold T. Heating stated that he would re- sign his membership in the local draft board immediately.

CONSISTENCY?

When Governor Osborn delivered his
inaugural address last week he demand
ed the designations of ALL commits
sloners of state departments in what
leading newspapers Of the state head
lined as an attempt to grab every DOS
slble bit of patronage with which to an
pease the now clamoring hoard of lob
seekers
Yet two years ago. on the goth of
January, 1889 Osborn wrote in his own
newspaper, Dunbar's Weekly:
Can it be that it's just a question of
WHO is governor? Or can it be that
Governor Osborn believes none of the
political creed which he so ardentlv
espoused in 1899?
Already the Governors apparent
unsuitable lust for power has involved
him in bitter quarrels with state Off
clals and departments and a knock
down and drag out fight with the legis-
Iature is in the offing. The hot fight of
the moment, one that may cause an
lrreparable breach between the execut-
i've and legislative branches. is the Gov
ernors proposal to take absolute control
OF the state highway department
Ii there is any valid reason WHY the
highway department should be placed
at the whim or caprice of any Governor
we have yet to hear it. The present ad-
mlnistration has given no reason for it's
demand for control Of that department
other than desire ;. For number of
years the highway department was un-
der the direct control of the governor.
Conditions became so unsatisfactory that
the legislature by two-thirds majority
OF each house, created a highway COM
mission, appointed by the governor and
confirmed by the senate This system
has over the years proven much superior
to the governor controlled setup. Now
the present Governor desires to return
to the old and discarded system? Why?
There can be but one reason. He desires
the patronage of that department to
take care of his political workers"
