CONFERENCE HERE
Rival Factions Remain at
Odds According to I'M
official Reports

Officers of the G. I. o. Mine,
Mill & Smelter Workers Union con-
ferred agan yesterday with local
leaders, in an effort to come to
some agreement in disputes which
have created a gulf between local
and national officials. Although
no results of the conference were
available, it is understood that the
rival parties are still no better off
than they were after Sundays
meeting at the Central YMCA.
President Reid Robinson and his
aides spoke with John j. Driscoll,
leader of the local forces, at CLIO
headquarters, but it is understood
that Driscoll continued in his OPP
position to the presidents policies.
The Driscoll faction, resentful over
the outcome of the recent nation
wide election in which their candi-
date was beaten by alleged mis-
counting" of the ballots, is still in
sisting that Robinson resign because
of what they term his Communis-
tic tendencies. At Sundays meet
ing, Driscoll was reported to have
volunteered his resignation as inter-
national representative if the presi-
dent would quit. Robinson refused.
William T. Moriarty, chairman Of
the Sunday session, reported that a
motion was adopted condemning the
action OF the international board in
discarding votes Of Ansonia, Bris-
toll, Bridgeport, and Waterbury To-
Gals in the election. Members Of
these locals are now said to be be-
mind the Driscoll faction in its
Save the Union" move.

BRITISH BOMBERS
RAID RUHR AGAIN

London, January IL. - (UP) -
British bombers last night attacked
detectives in Germany's industrial
Ruhr region, the air ministry an
nounced today. Only one plane failed
to return.
(Radio Berlin reported nuisance
raid" on western Germany. EX-
plosives and incendiaries were
widely scattered but insignificant
damage was done. the broadcast
said. One four-engined bomber was
reported downed.)
It was the sixth raid on the Ruhr
in nine nights. The raiding force
was believed to have been small.
At no other time during the war
had the Raj grouped such series
OF attacks upon one area. Previ-
ously, 1t has been policy TO scatter
blows over widely separated tar
gets.
Reliable sources suggested that
the Raj had learned that Ger
many's heavy industries In the Ruhr
were strainlng to supply troops on
the Russian front.
The Raj now uses almost ex'
cluSively four-engined Lancasters
Stirling and Halilaxes all Of
whchl carry vastly greater loads
than anything the Germans flew
during the London blitz. Because
OF this, even a small force causes
heavy damage.

Boston, January II - New Eng
land business leaders were urged
here today to give their full support
to. OPA's prohibition Of non-essen-
tial driving by j. G. Richdale, chair
man Of the New England Councils
liquid fuel committee.
1r a message to 1,4O0 New England
indu rial and commercial organiza-
items, If. Richdale, who is also vice.
president and general manager OF
the Colonial Beacon Oil Company
declared "It is hardly possible to
exaggerate the seriousness of New
England's fuel supply situation. We
entered the week of January II with
inventories Of certain types of pc
troleum products completely ex-
hausted in some areas, and at
dangerously low levels in others.
Business men may accept at full
value the assurances of official
agencies that every time the de-
mand for another gallon of gaso-
line is withheld, the way is cleared
for bringing in another gallon OF
heating oil. For the moment all
thought of former allowances for
weekly mileage should be discarded;
there is no longer any warrant
whatsoever for anyone to burn a
gallon of gasoline if such consump-
ton can possibly be avoided. This
goes for all classes Of ration cards
and patrons of taxicabs as well. We
should not even accept rides in cars
of friends If we have reason to feel
they are indulging In non essential
driving, and business establish
ments should be rigorous in requir-
ing their customers to accept the
minimum of service required to meet
their essential needs.
Similarly, we have passed the
point where any given temperature
for space heating can be regarded
as officially approved and allowable,
The only standard from now on is
the lowest endurable In our homes,
