Big Year Predicted
 By Union Delegates
Chase COmpany's Delegation to Denver Convention Credited Reid Robinson With Successful Drive Here

members present at the convention. The statement follows in full:
 "The biggest year for our union in Brass Valley lies ahead of Us now with the conclusion of the 39th convention of our International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. The unity of our member ship and the leadership of our pres ident, Reid Robinson, were demon strated at this historic convention. They will make it possible for us to make great new gains for the work CTS of Brass Valley. and will in- crease organized labor's contribu- tion to the all-out war effort.
 One of the highlightS of the convention was the review of the great progress made in Waterbury during the past year as result of the program of President Robinson adopted by last years convention. The action of this convention will insure that those gains are con- tinued.
 we are proud of the record our union has established, and equally proud of the recognition given our union at the convention by leading Government spokesmen. Their tribute to our unions contributions to the victory program proved that our organization is on the right road. We believe that the union membership in Waterbury will con- tinue to carry out that program and bring all workers together for unity, progress and a complete victory over the Axis.
 "The Chase delegates, following the mandate of the membership which sent them to the convention, joined the overwhelming majority of delegates from other parts of the nation in supporting the pro- gram of the union and of President Reid Robinson. We are confident that the Chase membership will contribute as effectively to contin- uing this program as it has to es- tablshing it."
 Stanton said that full report of the delegates would be made to the Chase membership at its next regu- lar meeting on October 4. The six delegates were Stanton, Napoi. Francis Maxwell, Nicholas Scacco, Henry Kleist, and Frank Stanescki.

were leading. 37-30. In the
fourth quarter the Cats didn't
fold up like they did against
Cambridge and Dover, but they
kept driving and ended up on
the very long end, 49-35.
Massillon jumped out ahead
in the first part of the initial
period to lead II to S, but New
ark scored six points in less than
two and one half minutes. Smell
ing dropped in two buckets and
Seesholtz pumped one in from
the corner just as the quarter
ended. The terrible Tigers again
managed to secure a lead in the
second canto but the clawing
Cats shaved it down with the
brilliant Smelling, and Seesholtz,
probably the states outstanding
forward, leading the way.
In the third period Newark
received a wonderful break and
Massillon a terrible jolt when
Chuck Buttermore, a very clever
forward, fouled his way out. Ell
mer Munkachy, Newark's hard
working guard, drew his third
personal and was taken out Of
the fray with Newark leading by
six points. The Tigers quickly
cut the lead to two counters and
Munkachy was back in the bat
tie. Seesholtz and Smelling scor-
ed six points in less than two
minutes and Newark was never
in danger again.
The huge gathering really
pulled for Newark to smack
down the tough Tigers from
Massillon and how the crowd did
roar as Newark kept pouring it
