Division 28l, New Haven Bus
and TrOlleymen, are mourning the
passing of Preston Chase, who had
been a member of the Local since
February, 1921.
Chase died while working on the
salt car in the recent snow storm. He
joined the company in September,
1920, as a motorman. At the time of
his death, he was a bus driver on the
Edgewood Avenue line, and is re-
membered both by his fellow work
ers and his passengers for his genial
good nature.
Chase was so years old and is sur
vived by his wife and one son, who
is stationed in an Army camp in Mis-
slsSlppl. He was veteran of World
War |, in which he was gassed.
The following members of Di-
vision 28l were the active bearers
at the funeral: Hubert Chidsey,
John CapOrale, Frank Carr, How
ard Creamer, Morris FitzgibbOns,
and Gus Potts. William McNamee,
president of the Division, also at
tended the services, which were
held from the Seydel Funeral
Home. He was given a military
burial in Evergreen Cemetery.

Among the bills opposed by the

The Seamless Rubber Co., New

t1ce, Division of Office of the Surgeon
General, and Cap. Reynold Hayden,

Since Dec. 8, 194l, the output

ing supply. A diversified field of
rubber and synthetic rubber prod
ucts are made by the company.
Among the items manufactured are

The Department stated that there
we're instances of two factories
seeking to employ women 60 hours

There were two requests made for
permission to work women 20 hours

tory asked to put women on FIVE

Railroad Profits
CONTINUED from Page One)

Outside the industry, Oliver re-
ported, 1880 of all minimum
wages ranged from Zoe to 74c
hourly compared with the Acc gen.
eraI hourly minimum for railroad
employees and with Soc hourly paid
in some cases.
Announcement of the railroads
huge profits confronts them with
a frst-class dilemma, Railroad
Notes comments. ''They would like
TO tell the unions that wage in
creases are impossible because pas
senger and freight rates are to be
cut. But this would strengthen the
O.P.A.'s case for restoring the lower
I94l rates. If, on the other hand,
the roads tell the O.P.A. they can
not accept rate reductions because
the unions demand higher wages,
it sounds as if they were ready to
yield on the wage increases. They
may have to yield on both wage
raises and rate cuts.''

This cannot be accomplished in
Connecticut if the legislators are
hustled through their work at
Hartford. There are crtain persons

people to have any say i'm their

omen. They want to hurry the

them from having their way

ISOLATION would have laid low until
the Assembly departed for home there
would have been no opportunity to

in these trying times"
Ceelan was asked what he con-
sidered as pressing needs for legis-
Iative attention. First on his list is
the passage of a State Labor Re-
IatiOns Act as recommended by the
Conn. Federation of Labor. He be-
lieves that all the proposed labor
legislation ''as recommended by

might start building up their battle lines.
They have, Of course, been besieging their
congressman, both representatives and
senators for years to stand against such
taxation on the ground that 1t not merely
hurts the financial standing of the aver
age community, but is a definite blow
against home rule. It's something in
which the average taxpayer ought to be
very much interested, since It will effect
his pocketbook, If 1t is approved, as well
as his right to express himself freely on
the manner in which his home town Is
managed
II might be that our public officials,
we are referring now to state, county,
and local ones, would propose to the
Congress that in return for the privilege
for taxing municipals they grant the
states, the counties, and the towns the
right to tax federal-owned land and
property. Such land exists in every state
Of the country; as q matter Of fact public
land comprises 20 per cent Of all there is
in the U.S.A. It can be found in 1928
counties and in 2,965 cities. It's yield
would be approximately $91,000,000 a
year.
In return for the right to such yield

Kidding Ourselves

Admiral Randall Jacobs, chief of the

sional committee the other day that 1--WE
found that we have been just kidding
ourselves and we were not in good physi-
cal condition to meet the exigencies of
the war and the requirements Of the ac-
tive service"
Captain Homer Graf, superintendent
of buildings and grounds at the Naval
Academy, told the committee that under
the new wartime conditioning program
everybody must get out and do some
ground work."
These Annapolis cadets are the cream
of the naval crop, the future ensigns, lieu
tenants, captains and admirals. BY
Admiral Jacobs voluntary statement,
the Navy has been found wanting physic-
ally. Is 1t now enough for the cadets to
"get out and do some ground work" four

Moral Duty

The Reich is trying to convince Sweden
of moral duty to contribute actively to
the war against Russia. Stockholm has
received these hints with extreme cold
ness. The press of Sweden is frank in
repudiating any such idea. ut has always
been clearly maintained on the Swedish
side that Sweden cannot accept any in
reference with her sovereignty" said the
conservative Nya Dagligt Allehanda.
"Sweden's neutrality policy implies that
Sweden intends to meet with armed force
every endeavor to push her into the war
on either side. This, and nothing else,
is Sweden'S moral duty"
Take look at the map, and this will
be all that anybody should expect from
Sweden.
