 Ambrosini graduated from New Haven Commercial High School in 1883. He was 18 and it was in the depths of the depression. His first job was in shirt factory at $4 a week. He worked in several factO- ries and in 1888 became a mem- Der of International Ladies' Car ment Workers. Belonging to a I.L.C.W.U. taught him the value of organization, for wages and working conditions were much bet ter in the union shop. But times were still hard and work was only part-time. He had married.
 Despite the fact that he was used to light work only and weighed l2O pounds, Ambrosini sought a job as a building laborer, because there was living wage in it. He lasted only few days at his first job as a nod carrier. He didn't quit, but kept looking for work in the same field. With plenty more husky men out of work many bosses rejected him on sight, but eventually he succeeded in getting steady employ ment with the Edwin Moss Co.
 He became active in the Local and was elected president in l94O. He served in this capacity until elected business agent.
 Tn Ambrosinis have two chil- dren. His hobby is music and he is proficient on the saxophone and clarinet

The OPA today coupled its
freeze on canned fish and canned
meat sales with the disclosure that
1000 Investigators. aided by the
FBI, have been ordered on duty
TO smash a spreading meat black
market that embraces remnants Of
the old Capone gang.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS (UP).
Canned meat and fish stocks. the
latest objective OF hoardcrS, were
frozen on grocery shelves today
All sales were ordered sus-
pended without warning at 1901
a. m. until Tau0ning OF meat goes
into effect. probably about March
IS, or for a maximum of 90 days.
SALES sKYRoCKETED
The emergency breakdown on
panic buying was ordered by the
OPA at the request OF Food AdA
miniStrator Wickard.
Officials said sales of canned
meat and fl h had skyrocketed
until there was danger that none
of those items would be left by
the time meat rationing began.
Civilian supplies of canned meat
and fish are very small and OPA
officials said the freeze was de-
signed TO prevent hoarders from
getting more than their share
Under rationing all persons will
have equal opportunity TO share
in the limited supply.
SUDDEN FREEZE
- Relatively small amounts of
canned meat and fish will be avail
able for civilians even under ra-
tioning. Military and lend-lease
orders in 1943 will take Is per

cent of the canned sardines and
