GOVERNOR HURLEY, we hea,

GOVERNOR HURLEY, we hear,
is considering appointing a War
Labor Cabinet for Connecticut,
similar to the national War Labor
Cabinet set up by F.D.R., which
consists of five members each of
the ALL. and Clio. We hope it's
not just rumor, as such a body is
needed i'm Conn.,, which is one of
the arsenals of the arsenal of
democracy. With the Governor
meeting regularly with representa-
tives of both labor organizations in
joint session, there is no question
but that such problems as produc-
ton, labor representation ON state
boards, manpower, etc., could be
handled more speedily and eff
ciently than at present. A long time
ago, someone said it would take a
war to make the state leaders of
the ALL. and Clio. sit down to-
gether. Well, we've got a war. How
about sitting down?

Cigar Makers
Request New
Bill OF Prices
Asks $3.50 Raise, Which
Still Leaves Rates At
1926 Figure

Cigar Makers Local SO of New Ha-
ven, meeting at the N. II. Labor Tenn
pie Saturday, unanimously voted to
seek a restoration of the wage cut
taken in 1926 by the cigar makers
The restoration, which it is expected
will be obtained, will increase wage
rates by $50, which really means
that cigar makers, in addition to the
cut they have had for sixteen years.
will still be making the same wages
they were making in 1926, when liv-
ing costs were much lower than they
are today.
The demand for the restoration
is based ON the fact that Congress
this week will probably pass a bill
increasing the cigar tax schedule
This will necessitate an increase in
the price of cigars under which five
centers will sell at two for fifteen
and ten centers will sell for Is
cents straight. Alexander Driessens
president of Local 80, and Carl ID.
Richards, its secretary, this week
notified all manufacturers of the
wage demand, and anticipate nc

PRICE RISE IS CHECKED, HENDERSON CLAIMS
Victory Parade
To Be Greatest
In City History

A special ssVictory Parade
meeting of the New Haven Central
Labor Council was to be held
Thursday night i'm the Labor Tenn
pie to insure the most complete
participation of the $4,000 MEM
bers of the American Federation
of Labor in the greater New Haven
area and their families in the July
a event.
From the reports of the sub
committees made to the Victory
Parade Committee in Mayor John
W. Murphy's office this week, all
sections of the city are determined
to make this event the greatest in
Elm City history. Harold V. Fem
mark, Council president, and James
I'll. Higgins, majority leader of the
Board of Aldermen, and business
agent of Local 349, Plumbers &
Steam6tters, members of the Pa
rade Committee, fully endorsed the
statement issued by Joseph T.
g Marinan, committee chairman. Mar
imam said:
''The purpose (of the parade) is
to galvanize morale, arouse the
population to keener sense of the
tremendous task that confronts all
men and women, and express the
city's grim determination to do its

ALL. FLOATS
AFL floats already assured for the
parade are BOO, New Haven Elec-
tricians, who will also have a band !;
the "best float of the 1889 Labor Day
AFL parade" donated by Local 424,
Structural Iron Workers; and huge
affair subscribed by Local 443, Team
sters. The Transfers met Sunday to
insure full participation The N. H.
Building Trades Council has also
agreed to participate 1000.
MUSICIANS COOPERATE
Further evidence that the parade
is certain to break all records was
given by the N. lei. Federation of
Musicians, which announced that
all union bands and musicians i'm
New Haven had been contracted
for. Because of this, the Local has
made an exception which permits
any organization to hire non-union
bands and men without suffering
the stigma of being unfair to the
Union.
Because thousands of AFL mem
bers will march with factory and
defense contingents, the Council
has asked all of them to wear their
union buttons.

With Need For Tenn
porary Wage Rise

A reorganization meeting of all
Connecticut locals affiliated with
the post Office services, consisting
of the Railway Mail Service, Motor
Vehicle Service, the National Assn.
of Letter Carriers, and the National
Assn. of p. o. Clerks, will be held
at the N. H. Post Office Sunday,
june q, at 2 P. M. President James
Egan, who has been promoted to
supervisor, will preside until his
successor is elected.
These unions, which are AFL af-
filiates, have joined with their brothers
all over the country and with the other
postal workers unions in bringing
their case for temporary wage in
creases of $500 annually to the general
public. With the Longevity Bill def
nitely killed by Congress the postal
workers are determined to press for
the passage of H.R. 7071, the bill that
calls for the increase.

nine days in 1888 with a 1870 straight
salary cut added in 1888. The postal
worker all told suffered a 2796 cut
during the depression, based on cost
of living indexes. The Local points out
that almost every substitute employee
was forced to go on relief.
Despite wage cuts and forced pay
less furloughs, the postal workers
were burdened with may extra Jobs
including the distribution of MIRA.

Bonds; the entire task of the unem-
ployment census and the alien regis
tration. Altogether the postal worker
now handles 500 more mail for 1925
wages which have been reduced today
by 500 in purchasing power.
Substitutes did get some relief this
week when President Roosevelt signed
S. 245o, which permits them to earn
over $1,000 whether or not they work
as carrier and clerk or not.

out Delaware local club leaders and
local All club garden committees
will aid the rural gardeners in their
efforts to produce bigger and bet
ter gardens. Increased production
of food in the family garden is only
one objective of the Al program,
however. Special emphasis is be-
ing given to growing a garden
based upon family food needs
which will supply fresh foods
throughout the entire growing sea-
son. Surplus foods from the gar
den will be stored and canned for
winter use. Rural girls enrolled in
food-preservation projects are ex-
pected to can larger amounts of
food for home use than in previous
years. Last year girls enrolled in
this project canned more than H.

ables, and with every club member
having a garden this amount will
be increased.

FIELD BURNING
IN DAY, DANGER
S a te Forester Advocates
Night Burning AS Less
Dangerous Hazard
CARELESSNESS CAUSE

State Forester Taber today stat
ed that while it was the policy of
the State Forestry Department to
advise against any field burning as
detrimental to the fertility of the
soil, when burning was absolutely
necessary it should be done in late
afternoon or night, regardless
whether such fires could be seen
from aircraft.
No Enemy Danger
+. Pointing out that many night
fires would no more serve as
guide to enemy aircraft than sin
gle signal light in the hands of an
enemy sympathizer under a black
out, Mr.. Taber held that the de-
fense boards who are advocating
daytime burning have not realized
that fires set in midday because of
the drier air conditions promptly
get out of hand, and in order to
bring them under control, if pos
sible, five to ten times as much
manpower, equipment, and trans
portation must be used than if such
fire was set only after proper prep
aration of the site and firing under
air moisture conditions that do not
aid the run of the fire.
Neighbors Cooperate
Moreover" Mr.. Taber said, "a
great deal more manpower is avail
able at the end of the work day
than can be marshalled in the day.
time and by mutual cooperation
neighbors can get their necessary
cleanup burning done safely" The
recent forest fires all over the State
which have originated from care
less field and marsh burning are
not sabotage fires, but so far as the
effect is concerned, or the manpow-
er required to control them, there is
no difference. In some states the
State War Board has declared care
less res as sabotage of the war ef-
fort" which in the final analysis is
the proper classification for any
preventable or carelessly caused
fire.

Teaching us that denying ungodli-

Self-forgetfulness, purity, and af-

head it can't think for the one who
is going to use it, If we could
get the man or woman who has a
match in his hand ready to set fire
to grass or other infiammable ma
terial, to tarry long enough to ask
himself the question "where is the
fire I start with this match going
to go?" he may prevent the losses
of manpower and effort that would
save the lives of a thousand of our
soldiers"
A Recent Example
"As an example lets consider the
recent fire from the Georgetown
city dump. The dumping area is
underlaid with a deep peaty soil
and covered with forest growth
ranging from brush to big trees.
No provision whatever was made
to prevent fire escaping from this
area dispite these known conditions
and the fire hazard that every
dumping area is known to be.
While the fire of last week should
serve as a lesson it is safe to pre-
dict that no steps will subsequently
be taken to put a wide firebreak
around the area or otherwise pre-
vent reoccurence of fires spread
ing from this source"
