Earbenders Attend
Anniversary Banquet
Father Broderick Among Speakers; Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam F. Blacker HOnOred on Golden Jubilee
WASHINGTON HILL

The Earbenders held their an
nual banquet Saturday night at
the Washington Park Community
House, and had as their guest of
honor Mr.. and Mrs. William F.
Blacker, whose 50th wedding ami
versary was celebrated during the
past week.
The guest table was decorated
with a wedding cake, made from a
wartime recipe, with so golden yell
low candles surrounding the cake.
Table decorations were also car
ried out with yellow daffodils and
yellow candles. Supper was served
to over one hundred people.
Thomas Conway, president of the
Earbenders, acted as master of GER
emonies and presented the guests
of honor with purse representing
dollar for each year of their mar
ried life.
This being such an suspicious
occasion, Rev. James Broderick,
pastor of st. Francis Xavier
church, made special effort to at
tend the party, it being Saturday
night, and a busy one for the pas
tor to leave the rectory. He gave
such an interesting talk, picturiz-
ing what he thought the way Mr.
and Mrs. Blacker were dressed, and
looked like on their wedding day,
which we're known as the gay
ninety days" that he inspired most
everyone there to want to be able
to celebrate a golden wedding too
Also seated at the guest table
were Mrs. Mary Kilmartin, town
clerk of the City of Waterbury
who never misses an Bartender
banquet, and Representative Daniel
Mahaney, a member of the Ear
benders; Mr.. and Mrs. Henry A
Hayden, Miss Marion Blacker, Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Blacker, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Linehan of Brooklyn
N. Y, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Dulac
Mrs. Thomas Conway and Edward

The Earbenders are to be compli-
mented on the excellent way the
party was handled-everyone had q
wonderful time-and it is safe tc
say the banquet was one of the
best ever given by the club.

New Contract Farley
May Start Tomorrow
CONTINUED from Page u

| Avenue lawyer determined to pre-
vent fair consideration of the min
ers' SEA day wage increase de-
mandS, told the United Press he
knew nothing Of the 15-day truce.
He said he assumed the board
would be called upon to determine
the issue and that the board panel
established TO consider the case was
ready to go on to a settlement.
Lewis and Ickes, however, evil
IDENTIFY have decided on other pro-
cedure. An official in touch with
developments told the United Press
that they had agreed that Ickes OF
the operators whose mines he has
seized would undertake new con-
tract negotiations with Lewis. Lewis
is understood to feel that seizure OF
the mines has cleared the record OF
all previous developments, includ-
ing certif1cation of the dispute to the
War Labor board, and that negoti-
ations now can begin again from
scratch. 1t was implied here that
Lewis felt he had won comforting
victory in again avoiding or post
poning board intervention. But il
Lewis and Ickes do reach a contract
agreement, Mr.. Roosevelt's evident
intention Is to require that 1t have
board approval, and thereupon be
subject, nominally at least, to the
Little Steel wage formula.
There was speculation here wheth.
er it might be possible for the two
men to work out a higher weekly
income contract for the miners with
out violating the Little Steel formula
by excessively raising hourly SEIZED.
uleS. That might be done either BY
extending the six-day week through
out the industry or by providing
that miners pay should run from the
time they entered the pits until they
left instead of from the time they
reach the face of the vein until they
leave 1t. Ickes long has urged a
slx-day mine week.
Proposals Accepted
Lewis accepted the six-day work
week proposal when it Originally was
advanced by Miss Perkins. He is
understood to be ready to make il
a fundamental feature of a new
contract. The United Press was in.
formed that If the operators par
ticipate in negotiations, they will
do so only as agents of Ickes and
of the government.
Avoidance of immediate submis-
sion to War Labor Board jurisdiction
scarcely can be counted less than a
substantial victory for Lewis. Under
terms Of the little steel formula
which the board was prepared to
apply to the miners wage demands
no increase would be considered il
the workers wages already had been
increased as much as Is per cent
over levels of January 1, 1941. On
that basis, the miners would have
lost their case before the board.

about 1t. The operation of our fac
tories, our power plants, our rail-
roads will not be stopped. Our mu-
nitions must move to our troops"
Time and again ne directed his
remarks to the miners patriotism.
"You miners have sons in the
Army and Navy and Marine Corps"
he said. g" We have already re-
ceived kilograms from some Of our
fighting men overseas, and only
wish they could tell you what they
think of the stoppage in the coal
mines"
Referring to his order to Ickes to
resume production-and If neceS-
sary to call troops to maintain Or
der-the president told the miners
that the United States could not af-
ford violence Of any kind at the coal
mines or in coal mining towns. He
promised those who sought to re-
turn to work that they and their
families would have the protection
of the U. S. Army.
He admitted that the government
had not been able to keep the prices
of some necessities as low as We
SHOULD have liked to-" but assured
the miners and the families of mil
lions of other workers that it would
continue to take all necessary mea-
sures to eliminate unjustified and
avoidable price increases.
He repeated Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Browns promise of last
Friday night to punish violators of
price ceilings and to roll back ex-
cessively high prices. Mr.. Roosevelt
added that 1--WE are now taking mea-
sures to roll back the prices of
meat"

3.-As soon as the Tunisian fight
ing is completed, the Allies presum-
ably will launch attacks at the Axis
underbelly with speculation center
ing on Sicily, Sardinia, Crete, Italy
and the Balkans.
4.-The next six weeks should,
unless bad weather intervenes, show
constant increase in the pressure
Of attacks by the Anglo American
air forces.
The Royal Air Force has demon
Strated that its strength is now
sufficient to carry out serveal pull
verifying attacks weekly and prob
ably could launch almost a nightly
schedule If the weather is right.
The United States Air Forces
strength is mounting steadily. The
rate of increase is closely guarded
military secret, but it is no secret
that military authorities will be
most disappointed if the attacks do
not double both in strength and
frequency by July.
The biggest mystery of all in the
Allies timetable is the date of the
Anglo American attack on western
Europe.
Military timetables are subject
to constant changes due to vary
ing factors, especially of a global
character The submarine warfare
in the Atlantic and the Japanese
threat to the Pacific probably are
the chief influences on the time
table for the Allies European oper-
atoms.
However, as a general rule, you
are seldom wrong when you esti-
mate that it will take an army
longer than anticipated to clear
up a particular operation or II
mount new offensive.
From this timetable, you can SET
that the Allied attack on Germany
should grow In intensity steadily
through the summer weeks.
