LABOR LEADERS IN
 HARTFORD FARLEY

Opposition for the controlled hir- ing program planned by the State War Manpower Commission will be voiced when labor leaders meet with Director William J. Fitzgerald in Hartford at 6 o'clock tonight. Greater consideration for unions will be sought in area stabilization plans, 1t has been reported.
 Although definite provisions of the counter-proposal to be present. ed have not been disclosed, it is re- ported references to union contracts and regulations will be sought for stabiliaztion rules.
 The local A. F. of L., which was first to dissent from the state pro- posal, and the c. I. O. will be rep resented at tonight's conference.

In the middle west the Victory mixture will have 1 per cent nitro- gen, l2 per cent phosphorus, and 4 per cent potash. Missouri, Ken- lucky and Tennesse ca re included in this area which extends from Ohio to the Rocky Mountains.
 On the Pacific coast the new mix ture will be 6 per cent nitrogen, 10 per cent phosphorus and 1 per cent potash, and this area includes Ari- zona and Utah as well as those on the Pacific ocean.
 All these Victory garden mixtures will be restricted to use on food crops. For lawns, flowers and orna- mental plantings, every fertilizer manufacturer is permitted to make @ speciality mixture of his own pref erence but to use for his production only half the nitrogen and potash which he mixed in the year ending last July. This means short rations for the ornamental plantings.
 Many straight fertilizers, espe- cially nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia and ammonium nitrate will be available to Victory gar- deners next year, for use without restrictions; and they will be in better supply than last, because the production of nitrogen has been stepped up. These are valuable for stimulating the growth of leaf crops and producing full yields of such crops as tomatoes and broccoli.
 Fertilizer regulations are more complicated than before, and will require many interpretations which may differ in the various sections of the country. Dealers will be irl- formed of the regulations and gar deners who wish to cooperate with the national defense program will be guided by their advice.

llSner OI The 0IAuOhEo~ uuSoJ uSSAH
 MT. Brewer sent the following telegram to each member of the U. s. Senate and House of Repre- sentatives, as well as to officials of the WIPE and WHO:
 '"The proposed cut of IS percent, on top of three previous cuts In newsprint consumption ordered. will make 1t impossible for the United States newspapers to do their full part in the war and will do damage to the newspaper industry from which 1t will not recover after the war.
 What Cut win Mean
 "In @ typical field of 250,000, The New Bedford Standard Times, only New Bedford paper, will be com- pelled by this further cut to:
 "(l) CURTAIL It's whole -heart- ed support of Bonds, scrap and man. power drives.
 "(2) CURTAIL free and paid space, devoted to the local war chest campaign now opening.
 "(3) CURTAIL needed circula- ton for soldiers at Camp Edwards, Mass.
 "(D CURTAIL local and nation al advertising to the point where the businesses of local and national concerns will be seriously handi- capped in their ability to employ and pay taxes,
 "(5) DIVERT permanently news paper revenue to Government-con- trolled radio and to Government encouraged radio advertising. (Radio uses no raw materials,)
 '"The pending cut may now be unavoidable. due to the absurd poll icies of the War Manpower Com missions of both the United States and Canada.
 Illogical Reasoning
 "In Canada, for some illogical and devious reasoning, newspaper publishing is declared essential, but neither the manufacture of newsprint, with which the papers are printed, nor the cutting of wood, with which to make the news print, is rated essential.
 "In the United States, the news paper business is rated essential, the cutting of wood for making the cutting of wood for making the newsprint is rated essential, but the manufacture of newsprint, which uses t he essential wood for essential newspapers, is not rated essential.
 United States policy stems from Commissioner of Manpower McNutt and can be explained only by his ignorance of the problem and its relationship to the war.
 Freedom of the American press is not involved in this issue.
 American newspapers will re- main free as long as there is scrap of paper on which they can be printed.
 Canada is hereby put on notice her important post-war newspFint industry is profoundly involved in this Issue"
