Theodore Olschefski, ST., organizer and director of the St. Stanislaus Kostla fife and drum corps, pre- dicted that from the outcome of yesterdays first outing of the corps at Belleview lake and the support given by attendance of several hun- dred, these events will become an- nual affairs.
 The program included a parade, competitions, exhibitions picnics and dancing. The parade started at 3 o'clock with six corps assembled at St. StanislauS church on East Farm street. Led by Ted Olschefsli, Jr., as grand marshal and the St. Stan iSlauS corps as his aides, the group marched to the grove in Lakewood.
 Prizes won as follows:
 Best Polish corps, St. Agnes of New Britain; second, Immaculate Conception corps, Southington; best English-speaking corps, City Parks of Meriden, St. Mary's senior corps of Torrington. St. Mary's also cap- tured first prize for best playing and won toss-up from St. Agnes and the City Parks to take first place for best appearance.

BRASS WORKERS
 VOTE TOMORROW
RS ghgh From Bmker m Postponed FOmth of Duly Parade
Acceptance of S-Cent Raise Believed Likely;
 Strike to Be Averted

Union employees of the American Brass co. plants in Waterbury. Tor rington and AnSoEia are expected to vote in favor of accepting a com promise wage offer made by the company last week after conferences in which federal conciliators met with management and union repre- sentatives at Washington last week. The offer is reported reliably to call for a raise of eight cents an hour for 10000 workers in the three cities, with the increase to be re- troactive to May il. Approval of the proposal by the company's board of directors is also necessary.
 Agreement of the 0. I. o. Inter- national Union of Mine, Mill 6E Shelter Workers to the eigflt-cent increase will probably have wide ramifications. c. I. O. units in sew eral plants in this city and nearby towns have held up negotiations with employers pending the out- come of the American Brass dispute. It is believed almost certain that the c. I. o. will new seek an eight cent raise in these plants.
 The tentative agreement was reached at Washington after long series of conferences in this city had failed to bring any results. The company originally offered raise of six cents an hour, while the union asked fo rio cents. Efforts by the state labor department and the state board of mediation met with no success and the federal con- ference was arranged.
 A strike at the American Brass Co. plants would have tied up many important defense orders.
