TRUCK DRIVERS
 HAVE QUIT JOBS
New England Transports ton Co. Men Are Re-
 ported Out On Strike

Providence, R. T., March Il. = (UP) - More than 400 New England Transportation Company truck drivers were reported to have struck today because of 8 jurisdictional dis pute involving their Independent New England Truck Drivers and Helpers Union and rival teamsters organization.
 Local union chairman, Howard G.. Hadley said that the company's transportation network throughout New England and particularly in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut was affected. He said he was attempting to contact Gen. eral Manager R. H. Palmer of the net in an effort to arbitrate the dispute.
 Peaceful picketing was in prog ress at terminals here and at Boston, Hartford, Conn, and New Haven, Conn. At Providence about 40 trucks were idle.
 Hadley said the strike resulted when the company failed to an- swer a request that one of the unions members be discharged be- cause he changed his allegiance to the rival group that was seeking control by infiltration. Hadley said the man had been suspended by his union.
 The independent group has a con- tract with the net that expires in August.
 Palmer said that the situation at Providence is between the unions involved?'
 T have not yet been asked to meet with the unions," he said.

 Dear MT. Maloney: For about one and one half years, this office has been operating under an ever increasing, self imposed censor ship.
 For more than fourteen years, this office has furnished, each month, certain indices which have been of value to numerous lines of business endeavor. We have been proud of the accuracy of our in- dex; it has been used as a factual accounting of waterbury business by many United States govern ment, state, municipal and bank ing agencies, and, in addition, by private and corporate enterprises. Now, however, we are at war, and, lest we aid the enemy, hence- forth, for the duration, or until such time as government censor ship decides to the contrary, we shall not issue our monthly review.
 To our many friends and assO- ciates throughout this city and country, who contributed to and used our data, gracious thanks.
 To the Waterbury press and other newspapers, publications and reviews throughout the nation, warm appreciation. Our decision to withdraw publication is in keep ing with our desire to safeguard Waterbury, and, also, to cooper ate with our national government.
 Sincerely, .-..
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE of WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, INC. and WATERBURY DE- TENSE COUNCIL.

Jeweler Francis p. LePage
wasn't even surprised at his Gus
toners story, what with main
springs popping in all AZ states,
and all the war workers scream
ing because:
Cd They can't buy new clocks,
II costs $3.50 or more to
get the old 89-center fixed-if
they're lucky enough to find re-
pair parts.
"And ! would like to point
out" says Mr.. LePage, that
what good is an automobile and
four tires to carry factory people
to work, if the driver is home
asleep?"
The repairman thought small
towns nearby might have some
clocks left, but another customer
came in and said he'd just toured
the circuit-Olathe, Kas., and
Butler, Harrisonville, Nashua
and Gashland, Mo.-"and no
clocks"
A score of retailers and doz-
en- repair firms confirmed Lee
Pages forecast of silent dawns
across the nation.
Manufacturers quit making
clocks and started making war
eight months ago.
And the last alarms vanished
from retailers shelves three
weeks ago. Now repair parts are
hard to find.
One jobber remarked Before
the war is over we may be watch
ing hour glasses"
If you'll step behind the parti-
ton, LePage will whisper what

in stock.

home anyhow. I'm saving it,"
