OVER $ BILLION
 SPENT IN \. E
8 Percent of War prodac| ton; Connecticut Gets
 zS Percent

Boston, September B. Special New England has received ;,211,- lB6OOO worth of war supply and facilities projects contracts, it was announced today by the Statistical Department of the New England council, regional development or ganization. This is 8 per cent of the national total of some SIT bil- lions awarded by the Army, Navy, Maritime Commission, Treasury De- partment and the British Empire up to July 1 of this year.
 New ngland's part in the war eff fort is more accurately gauged by its share of war production con- tracts alone, which are 9.5 per cent by value of the national total. This is slightly more than New England's s portion of national manufacturing in the pre-war year of 1889 when 1t accounted for 8.6 per cent by value of the country's output.
 Half of the regions war produc- ton activity, according to dollar values, is divided between two major industries. The aircraft industry, largely in Connecticut, has received 28 per cent of the contracts award ed in New England. The shipbuild- ing industry accounts for 22 per cent of the total. The balance of New England's share is spread over the hundreds of other items neces- sary to the war effort and is shared in by the industries of all six states.

LABOR WILL WIN
 WAR SAYS HURLEY
Governor Cites Marvellous Contribution Made in
 Holiday Proclamation

Gov Robert A. Hurley, in Labor Day statement, today declared that Connecticut should feel proud that organized labor has fulfilled the Victory Compact and has not called single strike "in our munitions factories"
 Labor, he said, is playing a tre- mendous role in the production of goods that will win the war. Politi- cal leaders, he said, should make certain that "Labor's present pros perity shall continue after peace is restored"
 The governors statement follows.
 A LABOR DAY STATEMENT
 During all the years in which Labor Day has been observed, 1t has never meant so much to so many people as it does in 1922. Never before have so many Amer jeans been enrolled in the ranks of Labor, and never. have the products of American Labor been so neces- sary to the people of other lands.
 On this day we should all be thinking of the marvellous contribu- ton that American Labor has made to the war effort. It has been made not for Labors sake alone but fol us all, for our allies, and for Liberty Without 1t, we should by this time have been beaten.
 We hear much just now about tht difficulties of our war production I feel sure, however, that the recorc made by our factories in the last few months will some day be recog- nized as one of the most amazing feats of industrial history. Tn the making of this record Labor has played at least its full part.
 Here in Connecticut we have a special reason for pride and grati- tude on this day because Labor has so faithfully kept the compact that 1t made, immediately after our en- try into the war, with the Governor of the State and with industrial management. The result is that dur ing all the following months Con- necticut has not had single strike called by organized Labor in our munitions factories. Of this record dlA SAlS tLhSC PaA AtAACIo-4IeibOA, N4o1A- agement, and Government-have just reason to be proud. It is a rec ord which has had it's effect outside the boundaries of the State.
 If only as a matter of decent gratitude, I regard it as a major obligation of political leaders to see that Labor's present prosperity shall continue after peace is restored. Those leaders have few more im- pcrtant tasks than to prevent that sudden and disastrous slump into unemployment which has followed other wars. Tn order to prevent 1t they must lay their plans and make their preparations at once.
 Labor is now doing its share. with a full sense of its gigantic re- sponsibility. It must not be defraud- ed of it's reward.

 Governor Dated at Hartford, Sept. 1, 1942. By His EXcellency's Command:

day by Judge Thomas J. Wall, they will continue in use pending an appeal by the City of Waterbury to the supreme court of errors.
 The city's legal staff will take no action on the case until Atty. Mau- rice T. Healey, Jr., newly appointed corporation counsel, takes his oath of office Tuesday. Atty. J. Gregory Lynch, who together with Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward Mo- Donald, represented the city in the civil action brought by Atty. Johr H. Cassidy protesting the use oi meters, left few days ago for Fort Oglethorpe Ga, where he will serve as a first lieutenant in the provost marshal generals unit.
 It is expected it will be several months before the case is finally closed with a supreme court deci- sion. The city will be allowed at least two weeks time in which to prepare Its appeal briefs and the necessary printing of evidence is expected to take a longer period of time.
 Judge Wall in his decision granted an injunction which will restrain the City of Waterbury from operat- ing meters on MT. Cassidy's proper ty on Leavenworth street and at the corner of West Main and Will low streets. The jurist stated, how ever, that entry of the injunction would be put of pending the de- fendant's appeal which he himself advised.
 In the event the supreme court upholds the lower courts ruling then further steps will be in order to prevent the city from operating meters on all streets of the city.
