 Already Signed

Storrs, June 18-Early regiStra- tions for the University of Con- necticut's 1942 summer session point to an enrolment probably ex- ceeding that of last year, pr. s. Willard Price, summer school di- rector, said today. The first term of the summer session opens June 29 and the second term August 3,
 To date, 48 students have com pleted registration, as compared to 26 at this time last year. The 194l summer school had an enrolment of 16O.
 A much larger ground of enter ing freshmen and undergraduates will attend the summer session this year, pr. Price said. At this time last year, Il University of Con- necticut students had been admitted to the summer school and seven had applications pending. To date this year, 12 have been admitted and there are Al applications pend- ing, including 36 from entering freshmen. Tn past there are Al ap. plications pending, including 3f from entering freshmen. In past years, the number of freshmen at. tending summer school had aver aged only about six.
 Dr. Price said that the offerings of the second term would consist largely of freshmen and undergrad. uate work, and that school teachers staying here for that term would probably have only limited choic' of graduate courses.
 The summer session director satt ] his office fould undertake to hell | committing students arrange fol pooling" of transportation t' Storrs where necessary, in view O the gasoline and tire situation Furthermore, he said, in case where teachers were asked to re turn to their schools to work cl rationing registration, efforts vii be made to arrange transportation back and forth.

States Minimum Wage
 La1v Model For Nation
Labor Commissioner Danaher Credited With Social Legislation Bene6ting Workers = Suc- cess of Law Enforcement Depends
 Upon Public.
BY EDWARD J. RYAN


 Tn the past you have read O heard this writer praise the intel ligence, the integrity and the goot common sense of Cornelius J. Dan aher, labor commissioner of thu state of Connecticut. Today, con. tinue in my praise for this man wht has done more for the poor, mort for the working man and woman than any other individual in thu entire history of this state.
 This is not idle talk. Nowhere in the annals of Connecticut history is there a single man who can match the efforts and the accomp- lishments of this firy, hard hitting commissioner of labor. He is the ONE man who has brought about the present Workman's Compen- sation Law. He is the ONE man who brought about the Old Age assistance law. He is the ONE MAN who has prevented strikes from occurring in our state, thus placing Connecticut foremost among those states which are all out for national defense. Every other state in our country has had more than its share of strikes and stoppage of work, which has in many cases caused our defense program to lag, but not here i'll Connecticut. Connie" has brought together the employe and the employer on a far more friendly ground that has ever existed be- fore.
 However, this story is not so much of what Connie" Danaher did in the past. It Is what he did on June first of this year that l write.
 On that day, there went into ef- feet in this state new Minimum wage which covers completely the retail and wholesale industry of this state. Under the law EVERY person working a full week MUST BE PAID AT LEAST $16 per week. The law provides Q most severe penalty for the employer who pays his help less than this amount.
 Gone, now are the sweat shop stores of Connecticut. Gone for ever are the salaries of ten and twelve dollars a week. Make no mistake my friends, these are the salaries that have been paid in some of our stores. I should know, my affiliations with the Connec- ticut Labor department have taught me considerable.
 Under the new law, if an em- ploye works overtime he must be paid for every SINGLE HOUR worked overtime. If the standard work week of 48 hours is exceeded then the employe MUST be paid FULL time for every hour above that.
 This law is the first to be adopt ed by any state east of the Mis- sissippi and is the second in the entire United States. Other states are copying the Connecticut law.
 However, the point to remember is that the law can be made work able ONLY if the employees will cooperate with the Labor commits sioner to the extent that all vio- latiors of this act be reported to
 LABOR COMMISSIONER COR- NELIUS J. DANAHER, STATE OFFICE BUILDING, HARTFORD, CONN.
 Thus, the responsibility falls upon the employe. If the em- ployee lacks the intestinal forti- tude, the spunk, SO to speak, to de- mard his or her rights, then there is little that any one can do for them. However, if the employe, working in 8 retail or wholesale store of any kind. Is NOT receiv-

FORT DEVENS TO

 Officials gave no reason for the curfew, but 1t was known that sole diers had been involved in several early morning disturbances.

President Roosevelt last February set the goal of 230O00O0 tons of shipping by the end of 1943 Since then shipping experts have been wrestling with pro- duction problems that few years or even months ago would have been thought insoluble.
 DESIGNED FOR POSTWAR USE, TOO
 For one thing, they are concentrating on one type of merchant vessel the Liberty ship of 10000 tons For another they constantly increasing the pro- ductio ntempo When the Liberty ship was first con- templated schedule of six months was set for its construction Today the goal Is down to 90 days and some factories already beating that figure, mo- taby the Kaiser shipyards which recently completed one of the ships in 48 days.
 Right now, of course our aim Is merchant fleet that can supply our own growing army and those oi our allies in all parts of the world, despite the toll of enemy submarines But the Maritime Commis- sion also has peacetime goal in view: fleet that will transport at least 50 per cent of our foreign trade under the American flag.

Labor Commissioner ing at least $16 for a full weeks work, or if the ernploye is work ing overtime without getting paid for it, then 1t becomes the full re- sponsibility of the employe to sit right down and write the commits sioner but the employe must be honest.
 Count up the hours you work. If you work over 48 hours week, then you are entitled to overtime pay. Get it! This law was adopt ed to help those who need help most. Use the law.
 It is your protection against starvation wages.
 Don't have any fear about your employer firing you because you complain about the wages he pays, under the law he CANNOT fire you for making a just complaint against him.

 Washington June 18-In the 16 years before 1887 this country's shipyards built total of two ocean, going cargo vessels. Now we are just about equang 'that production record every day, and stepped-up production schedule calls for three new merchant ships day by fall.
