Conference Agrees Upon :"
Eagan, Chairman For Conn. Committee, Critical Of
 Possible Interpretation

As a result of the deluge of mes. sages from members of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor through out the country, the joint Congress slonal conference committee has finally agreed on a tentative form ot the Longevity Bill which will grant a yearly raise of $84 to To- year postal employees and $l44 to I0-year veterans effective July l.. 1942.
 However, James F. Eagan of New Haven, chairman of the Con- necticut Postal Employes Longev- ify Legislation Committee, was critical of the wording of the agreed-upon bill which might be interpreted to make July l, l947, the effective date for the addition al $6O raise for 15-year postal workers.
 We're satisfied to get whatever we can now," Eagan said, ''but an interpretation by the Comptroller General making 1947 the effective date for the additional $60 raise would be a setback"

 Care For Children
Connecticut Will Be One Of First States To Receive
 Grant

Connecticut will be one of the first states to receive grants under the Lanham Act to provide day time care for small children and thus enable a substantial number of mothers to take jobs in war; order factories, Federal officials in- formed the Committee on Emerg- ency Child Care of the State De- fense Council this week.
 The word came from Miss Martha Wood, regional child welfare con- sultant to the United States Chi1- dren'S Bureau, and Dr. Fred F. Beach of the United States Office of Edu- cation, who visited here "Wednesday to check the organization of child day care services and their adaptabi1ity for expansion, with Mrs. Chester Bowles of the State Defense Council.
 PREVIOUSLY EMPLOYED
 The plan to relieve mothers of the daytime care of young children is di- rected particularly to women who have been previously employed in in dustry but who are now married and are prevented from returning to their former factory jobs because of family responsibilities. These women, it was pointed out, are already skilled in- dusrial workers in whose cases no time need be spent for training.
 To free these mothers for fac tory work, it is proposed to expand existing child day care services and to establish other such facilities where they are needed. Obviously, the program will be carried on principally in the industrial areas of the state, where the need for women substitute labor is most acute.

 Noank- Carpenters Case

Local 559, Hartford Teamsters, met this week with Yale Law School Professor Harry .ShuIman, named arbiter by Gov. Robert A.

The arbiter heard Bus mess Agent Frank Bausola's evi- dence that 559 represented the em- ployees of these companies almost 100 per cent and also scanned the many closed shop agreements en- tered into by 559 with other com panies.
 The Noank Shipbui1ding Company controversy is back in US. Con- ciliator Maxwell Copoloff's hands after a four hour conference between Local 2326, Carpenters, and the com pany had failed.

Maskin Given AnotherWeek By Teamsters
Local 443 Gives Firm Last Chance Special Call
 Meeting Sunday

Maskin Trucking of Hartford, now leasing trucks to First Ma tional Stores in Bridgeport, in place of Louis Angenola, has been given one more chance to negotiate with Local 443, Bridgeport & New Ha- ven Teamsters Union, by Secretary Treasurer John J. Allen and Busi- ness Agent George BOrzain this week.
 Maskin is accused of trying to write his own contract. The First National drivers are members of the union which had contract with Angenola.
 MEETING SUNDAY
 Local 443 is holding a special call membership meeting this Sunday at which all regular business will be sus- pended. The union has not disclosed the reason for the call.
 With 30 of its members already in the armed forces, the Teamsters Union is still able to supply all re- quests for drivers. However, close to another hundred members are expected to go into service at the next call and a resulting shortage of skilled heavy-hauling drivers is expected.
 Rose Plotkin, efficient secretary of the Bridgeport office, is away on her annual two weeks vacation.

Skilled Men Still Lacking In Bridgeport
Few Plants Working 16S Hours Weekly = More
 Women To Be Hired

Although 10000 men and wo- men are now employed in Bridge port war industries, few plants are working full blast l68 hours a week. Lack of skilled workers is the reason for this slack given by George H. Stone, manager of the Park City Connecticut Employment Service office.
 ''There has been a constant in- crease of employment in the past 10 months with industrial payrolls rising by 27,OOO with no halt in sight," Stone said. ''All plants are going "A hours but the third shifts have only skeleton crews. There's a terrible shortage of skilled labor, and we have no priority unemplOy- ment here.''
 A constant influx of workers con- tinues with the majority not finding work because they lack the required skill. Women are slowly finding de- fense work but the percentage of women industrial workers is only slightly higher than normal. Mr. Stone expects sharp increase in wo- men industrial workers after the next draft.

RETAIL HELP SCARCE

He reported a shortage of qualified retail salespeople due to the better wages and overtime work available in defense industries. Many salesmen had trades which they had not work ed at for many years. They had been weaned away from industry by the depression.
 Part of the acute shortage of skilled help, he explained, was at- tributable to the housing shortage.
 Many localities in Connecticut are crying for skilled workers and these men naturally go where hous. ing accommodations are more promising.''

Preservation Of Lines Is So Necessary
That Angler Finds Dryer Valuable

Hardly one fisherman in a hun
dred possesses line dryer for man
ufacturers have been building hong
life into their products and it has
been too easy to get new lines. Now,
it is a different proposition for
while there still are some fishing
lines coming from the line walks, -
it behooves us to care for the sup
ply in hand. That's where a line
dryer pays real dividends.
Salt water, fish slime and blood,
when left to dry on line quickly
saps the strength of the strands.
Washing the line in fresh water and
drying it in the shade-and 1t Is
more easily done at home than any
where else-will lengthen the life OF
any line, whether it is of linen, silk
or the waterproof nylon.
There is no need of carrying the
bulky dryer, although there are
tricky gadgets that may be folded
small enough to go in the tackle box
for those who feel immediate care
is more desirable.

More Protection for Deer.
Maryland never has been much
OF deer-hunting State, possibly be-
cause this game never had a real
chance due to resident pot hunters.
Under ruling just promulgated
by the Game Commission no deer
shot in Maryland may be decapi-
tated, skinned or cut up until it has
been inspected by game warden or
deputy. Neither will it be lawful to
have in possession. either in or out
of season, any parts of an Illegally
killed deer.
Changes in regulations concerning
the hunting of squirrels, particu-
larly in the western counties, still dc
not give this game early season pro-
lection.
The State wide squirrel season is
September Is to October Is and No
vember Is to December 81 with these
exceptions: Garrett, Allegany and
Washington Counties, September Is
to 80 and November to 80, inclu-
sive; Frederick County, September
IS to october Is only; Woodmont

ber 81 only.

shooting.
