The members OF the America
Electroplaters Society OF the New
England district met in convention
Saturday at the Bond hotel in Hart
ford wheBe they held a vital bust
ness meeting in the afternoon and
then ended their day long activities
with very successful banquet which
was high-lighted by a talk which
was made by United States Senator
John A. Danaher. Senator Danaher
was introduced to the large audi
ence by A. c. Fuller president of the
Connecticut Manufacturers associa-
ton.
The Electro PlaterS' convention
was the finest ana most educational
that this writer has ever attended
and 1 have attended hundreds Of
conventions.
The business session at which
plans and methods for more rapid
and more successful plating Of
nickel, chrome, silver, copper, zinc
lead and cadmium, were explained
in great detail by Connecticut's out
standing electro plater's. was called
to order by C. c. Helmle, chief
chemist of the General Electric Co.
Bridgeport. DR.. Walter Meyer oi
the Enthone Co., New Haven, acted
as co-chairman.
The POSTMASTER at the banquet
was J. Howard Donahue, George
Bowes, radio announcer at VITO
or TNtitf n1
program. Bateeste, the comedian
OF radio fame. from Canada, pre-
sented a comedy Skit that had the
audience roaring with laughter.
Make no mistake, that while in
uustry in this country is playing q
most vital part in the successful
prosecution of this war, the rea
brains, the real ingenuity, the rea
planning for finished products fol
war are these Electro Flaters who
have been the real unSung heros
on the war production front. These
are the men who make the finished
products possible. Without theil
knowledge Of plating, without theil
skilled and training, American wal
production would be badly tagging.
These are the men who make i
possible to give our men the fines

are so badly needed. Yes, these
are the men who give your son {

SKIRT WIDTHS
TO Be REDUCED
WPB Expected to Issue
New Clothing Order EIim-
mating FriIIs
BY JEWEL SPANGLER
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, May 3.-(UP)-The
War Production Board is expected
to issue a new clothing order this
week calling for simmer feminine
silhouettes, cleaner lines" and
elimination Of more frillS.
The order is expected to reduce
skirt widths slightly and will end
exaggerated peg tops" Grapes and
other fabric-using devices.
It is understood the order will con-
troll the body basic"-a term
which will include the regulation of
tn front, back and sleeves of the
blouse, the skirt and belt, width and
hipline.
An example Of expected new meas
urements gives hipline sweep of Sc
inches from hem width of u inches
in a size 16. Trimming will be
cut to an allowance equal to half a
yard Of 39-inch material - and
must include collars, cuffs, pockets,
bows, peplums, tunics, aprons, flaps,
and other additions to the body
basic"
1t Is expected jackets will be per-
mitted only in single breasted
models and My with two pockets
and not more than four flaps.
Effect of the order will be to make
the clothes Simmer and more simple
in design, although 1t will not regi-
ment fashions nor change the COM
petitive challenge in the fashion
world. Designs will still be varied
but excess frills will be eliminated.
At the same time restrictions on
the manufacture of wool garments
will be eased, it was learned. This
will virtually wipe out all differences
in measurements between garments
Of wool and those of other fabrics.
1t was understood the easing of
wool restrictions is due to changing
war conditions. Originally one OF
the prime detectives was to conserve
Wool-but the present fabric picture
calls for conservation Of all fabrics
father than any one kind.
The new order is based on expert
ences of the last year and the help
of the industry advisory commit
tees. 1t is believed the new rules
have been designed to be as simple
and as workable as possible, and at
the same time close up loopholes
which use extra yardage.

REDUCED FORCES
OPERATE MINES
Pittsburgh Men Eager to
Return; Union Orders
Cause Confusion

Pittsburgh, May 3-(UP)-A light
but satisfactory force of coal miners
tricked back to the soft coal mines
of Western Pennsylvania today in
response to President Roosevelt S
appeal that they end their work
stoppage at once in the interest Of
a nation at war.
Preliminary reports from the mine
fields indicated that the men were
eager to get back to work as soon as
the mines could be made ready for
operations.
1t was pointed out by United Mine
Workers leaders and operators that
operations could not be resumed
Immediately at some mines because,
after shutdown, which in some
cases had amounted TO more than a
week, the pits had TO be readied.
The situation in the mines of the
H. c. Prick Coke Co., was typical of
the miners response to the presi-
dents message. All the company's
mines in Fayette county were in OPP
Grafton, although with reduced
forces.
At the Filbert Mine of the COM
pany, some 200 men reported for
duty, about one-fourth of the nor
mai number. Similar light represen-
tations of workers showed up at the
company's Gates mine, the Palmer
mine, and at the four mines Of the
Colonial Belt.
The Isabella mine OF the Weirton
Steel Co., employing about 300, which
had been closed for more than a
week, did not reopen, UNIV officials
explained they had not been able to
contact pit committeeman, but that
efforts were being made to get in
touch with them.
None of the four mines of the
Jones & Laughlin Steel corporation
was operating, but company officials,
pointing out that the mines had
been down almost a week, said they
hoped to resume partial operations
on the afternoon shift,
None of the mines in the Wash
ington county fields, where the j.
e. L. Mines are situated, appeared
TO be operating, but union officials
were confident that production would
be resumed there late today.
1t was believed that the miners
response would have been greater
had there not been some confusion
among thin concerning union orders.
They at first were told by John l..
Lewis to report back by tomorrow,
but later union officials spread the
word that they were wanted back
today.
Inability to contact all or most Of
the workers to issue the new instruc-
tons was blamed for the light turn
out.

post office today or through their
employers made new or additional
Investments.
G. Horace Baldwin, co-chairman
Of the local committee, expressed
himself as being particularly i'm
pressed by the fact that persons Of
modest means form the bulk Of
investors during the closing hours
If the drive.
He and Austin L. Adams, CO.
chairman, said that the complete
tabulation Of the figures through
out Region may be furnished
within few days.
Particularly gratifying was the
fact that so many persons turned
out to help execute the sales of war
bonds during the three weeks of the
campaign, he said. Never has he
seen more enthusiastic group OF
statesmen, he declared
Practically every city and town
have already gone beyond their quo
tas, he recealed; Torrington yester-
day exceeded its quota Of 2 million
dollars by 5 per cent, while Wa
.erbury and Naugatuck had earlier
Exceeded their goals of Is million
and $1,150,00O respectively.
Today War Bonds are being sold
1T Victory House by Societa Catiana
Connazionale Femminile, and
members of its committee predict a
triumphant finish to the three
weeks of hard work. The quota for
he House was set at $250,00G, but
1as passed that amount by more
Than $4,000.
The following are officiating at
Victory House today: Mrs. Anna
Mastrioanni, president of the Or
,anization; Mrs. Linda Falzone, Mrs.
Harry Somma. Mrs. Anna Device,
Miss Anna DeVicco, Miss Jennie De-
IicO, Miss Geraldine Somma and
Mrs. Sarah Christoforo.
The results from the 18th annual
Slack and Blue golf club OF Water
bury totaled $2,675. Golf players
bought war bonds OF all denomina-
ions as entry fees.

Senator Danaher, as usual, gave a
stirring address in which he point

danger that patterns may be seized
