(Continued from Page One) emergency to accomplish their object" The general public is badly mis- informed about the entire situation, Feinmark said, adding that many people believe there is a law on the statute books which limits work to 40 hours a week, and that this is what the reactionaries are trying to eliminate.
 ssThe hundreds of thousands of Connecticut workers i'm the plants throughout the state who work from 50 to 60 hours week and more, know that there is no such law. And they're not worried about being paid overtime, because they also know of the tremendous profits being made by manufacturers"
 ALL OPPOSED
 Other points made by Fein- mark follow:
 l. President Roosevelt has made it clear that there is no need for legislation of this kind.
 2. Donald M. Nelson, War Production Board Chief, an- nounced this week that to abolish the 4O-hour week law sswould be harmful to our productive picture.'
 3. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins this week said that 99.97 of the workers in war industries were on the job without interrup- ton through January and Febru- ary. March will undoubtedly show the same.
 4. Not one important Govern ment official has come out i'm favor of the Smith -Vinson pro- pOsals. All oppose them.
 5. Thurman ArnOld's sblast' against the unions is the action of a sorehead. Every anti-labOr case he has started has been thrown into the waste basket by the United States Supreme Court.
 6. National unity is being ob- structed, while certain Congress men, newspapers, and employers are more interested m fighting labor and President Roosevelt than they are in fighting the Axis.

To Meet Soon

George Erskine, Dictator-Super- intendent< of the Connecticut Re- formatory at Cheshire, hasn't heard the end yet of his refusal to recOg- nize the A.F.L. RefOrmatOry Elm pIoyes Union, a local of the Amer jean Federation of State, County, and Municipal Workers. Erskine, you remember, is the gentleman who draws something like $8,OOO a year from the state, and thinks unions and the Merit System are simply terrible.
 One meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Cheshire reformatory has already been held to discuss Frs kine'S unfriendly attitude toward labor, and letter received this week by the New Haven Central Labor Council from Governor Robert A.. Hurley indicates that final action will be taken at another meeting of the directors, to be held soon.
 LETTER
 The letter, addressed to Carl c.. Hoff, chairman of the Councils con- mittee on the Cheshire situation, is signed by John F. Robinson, executive secretary to the Governor, and reads as follows:
 ssThis will acknowledge your letter addressed to Governor Hur- ley. concerning the attitude of vari- Ous unions mentioned towards Mir. George Erskine of the Cheshire Reformatory.
 ssThis matter has been called to the attention of MT. Erskine and the Board of Directors with assur- ances that it will again be taken up at the next meeting.
 ssMr. Erskine has been notified of the Governors thoughts in this matter and I shall appreciate your transmitting this information to the various persons concerned"
 The Board of Directors of the Re formatory consists of F. M. Adler, of New Haven; Thomas R. Preston, West Hartford; Frank J. Brennan, Bridgeport; Judge Philip R. Pastore, New Haven; Patrick J. Wallace, Waterbury.

LABOR'S SHARE

Labor Is doing all in its power to win the war; Feinmark continued "We have voluntarily given up the right to strike in defense industries, and are doing everything possible to increase production. The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its last meeting, unanimously voted to ask the New Haven County Manufacturers Association to appoint a committee to meet with us so that joint Manage ment- Labor Committees can be set Up in the shops. The only purpose of these committees will be to devise ways and means of increasing pro duction
 "The Council also voted to ask Mayor John w. Murphy to call a conference of the A.F.L, the CI.O., and industry in New Haven, again for the purpose of devising ways and means Ot increased prOQuCt1On.
 WOULD HURT ALL
 "These steps are being taken throughout the country. My con- sidered opinion is that unless labor and its friends beat back the wave of anti-labor propaganda that is food ing the nation, the social and labor legislation gains won after years of bitter struggle and opposition will be wiped out overnight.
 'sThis will hurt not only labor,
 but the whole country, and will
 be a blow to our united deter
 imitation to beat Hitler and
 HirohitO as soon as possible"

Yale & Towne
 Signs Up With 
First Real Bona Eide Pact For Firm In Its 75-Year
 History

The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company of Stamford, 75 years old, has signed its first bonafde union con- tract with the International Associa- ton of Machinists. While the con- tract covers 200 workers, Grand Lodge Representative Fred Cederholm notified the Company this week that the Union has signed sufficient num- Der of all the workers to represent them in collective bargaining.
 Pay raises ranging from 5 to 60 per cent were won for the tool and dye makers, jig and fixture makers, dye settlers, cutters and cast makers, dye casters, acetylene welders, ap- prentices, helpers and women trim- mers, all members of Lodge 1857, covered by the agreement.
 The departmental election was held last December by the National Labor Relations Board with the LAM. a decisive victor over the company union. The C.I.O., in 1888, lost an N.L.R.B. election to the same company union.
 LIFTED TO FIRM
 Cederholm, whose patience and dili- gence over the past year resulted in the present victory, sent the following letter to the Company following the Signing of the contract:
 'sYour employees in sufficient number, have indicated their desire that the International Association of Machinists represent them in collective bargaining as to wages, hours<of labor, and other employ ment conditions and in the very near future said organization will request collective bargaining for all production and maintenance em- plOyes.

Members of the Libby Woman's
Club really felt that the true Christ
mas spirit was present during their
annual Christmas program and
meeting held Tuesday afternoon IN
the Community Room. The high
point of the program was a play,
.'Tilda's Talent" which portrayed
the gladness a truly happy-souled
person can give to others. Tilda

washings for a living and also took
care of her disdainful third cousin,

and couldn't forget her old life. A

Christmas Trees
From Eureka To
TotoI ia Cors

Last week saw the virtual COM
pletion of the Christmas tree har-
vest in Lincoln county. This was an
unusually early date, caused by the
necessity of most of the tree COM
panies finishing their hauling be-
fore gas rationing set in. Eureka
is the center of the industry in
Lincoln county although it is spread
rather we'll all over the district.
The report from Eureka last Satur-
day was that IA cars had been
shipped, with probably 80 more to
go. Shipments last year amounted
to 2l4 cars.
The cars this year have carried
more trees per car, because of short
age of boxcars, so the total num-
Der of trees harvested will be not
far below that of last year Women
have done large part of the work
this year because of scarcity of
men, and high school youths have
helped out on Saturdays and Sun
days. The work week is seven days
because of the shortness of the
season
An interesting note in this con-
nection came out from the Denver
office of the Owl this week. 1t said
Christmas trees have been exempt
ed from maximum price regulations,
but timber owners have been asked
to hold prices at least to last years
level.

sharing with others and Jane, MRS.
H. R. Richards) one of Tilda's Gus
toners, praises her for her help to
others and the sunshine she has
created. As a token of apprecia-
ton, Jane has brought in Christmas
gifts of food and a washing ma
chine from Tildas many customers
and friends who praise her for her
talent of happiness. The audience
was carried from chuckles to tears
by the sentiments expressed. The
play was directed by Mrs. Z. Roy
Fort
Mrs. Fort. as program chairman
for the day, presented Mrs. A. A.
Wood who read the story, Aunt
Libbie's Christmas, by A. NJ Hop
kins. a heart-warming little tale.
Miss Inez Ratekin played Christmas
Fantasia, medley of favorite
Christmas hymns At the beginning
of the meeting Mrs. Walter Neils
read the story of the writing of
Silent Night. after which every
one sang it. During the program
several Christmas hymns were sung
by the members, led by Mrs. Wal
ter Neils and accompanied by Miss
Ratekin. The room had been pref
tily decorated with cedar sprays
and candles by Mrs. Fort and Mrs.
Wood, adding to the holiday at
mosphere.
During the business meeting, pre-
sided over by Mrs Harold Thorn
son. the usual routine matters were
taken care of, including the several
charitable donations which the club
makes at this time of year to Wor-
thy causes The standing commit
tee reports were very interesting.
Mrs. Homer Berges read lltera-
ture report prepared by Mrs. krall
on Mr.. Pan by Emily Hahn about
the life of the Mr.. Smiths of
China. 1t gave a delightful picture
of the customs and average family
life of the people. For her music
report Mrs. Walter Neils reported
on an article entitled Music of
Church and Chancel' which was
very applicable to this season. Mrs.
Neils also spoke of the proposed
project of caroling which is being
promoted by different music-mlnd-
ed groups of town and urged mem
bers to join IN.
Mrs. Ned Joughin, in her fine arts
report, spoke of the sphinx in Egypt
which they are attempting to pro-
tect by sand bags, which is most
unusual because in normal times
they are kept busy keeping it clear
from sand. She also mentioned the
fact that there are large sales OF
art treasures now due to the fact
that SO many large mansions are
being dismantled.

its own story
A few weeks ago Libby woman
advertised a clarinet for sale, after
having tried to sell it by word of
mouth for long time. She was
swamped with inquiries as soon as
the ad. appeared in the Western
News, one response coming from
Newport, Wash. Needless to say,
the clarinet was sold in a short
time. And all at the very small cost
of a few cents.
Now that woman is a firm be-
lever in the value of Classified
advertising.
