Army Sounds Urgent APP.
peal For Volunteers At
New Haven Post

The Aircraft Warning Service for
New Haven, operated under the con-
troll of the First Fighter Command Of
the U. S. Air Forces out of Mitchell
Field, has issued another urgent plea
for more spoilers to man the post II
Fair Haven. The number needed this
time is u.
1t was stressed that both men and
women can serve in this capacity. The
women are used only in the daylight
hours from 8 A. M. until 6 P. M.
and the men during the other hours.
The job of the aircraft spotter is
to report by direct wire to Mitchell
ield every airplane that passes over
the city. Officials of the service
pointed out that America is now on
the offensive and added that every
offensive presuppOses strong de-
Tense and that air posts such as the
Fair Haven one are all parts of that
defense.
The reason for the need for addi-
tional spoilers, it was said, is the fact
that men are continually being called
into service or else being forced to
discontinue their work as spoilers be-
cause of a shift in work hours.
The number of spoilers needed and
the hours are as follows:
Monday, 8 A. M. to 10 A. NJ,
two; Tuesday, 2 A. NJ. to 4 A. M,
three, and 8 to 10 A. NJ, one;
Wednesday, 10 P. M. to y NJ, one /;
Thursday, IL M. to 2 A. M, two;
and one each for the following
shifts during the day, 40 A. M,
6-8 A. M, 1922 P. NJ, 40 P. M,
1912 p. Nj.
Also, on Friday from 40 A. M.

DanburyStiII
IsASickCity
Carroll Says
Secretary Of Hatters Says
Indifference Has Caused
Near Ruin

The unhealthy employment con-
ditiOn in Danbury which Dennis
Carroll, secretary of Local 10, Hat
tiers, wrote Rep. Clare Booth Luce,
was ''pOor sick city," has shown
but slight improvement in the last
two months.
According to the U. S. Employment
Service in Connecticut, there has been
a slight pickup in employment in
Danbury.
"The hat shops are now geared to
operate on a schedule OF 50 per cent
of normal production. The city, how
ever, will suffer a relapse after a
few months" according to the En-
ploynent Service, which indicates the
reason in the following words:
Conversion to war work by hat
manufacturers is almost negligible
and no plans are in the offing or
known that will convert any of these
plants to 100 per cent war work"
Carroll, who is one of Connect
cuts most able labor men, was
much surprised to receive a re-
quest from Mrs. Luce asking for
information on the work situation
in Danbury, which is in her dis
trict.
In reply, he outlined the un-
happy history of the famous old
hat center of the nation which was
once a 100 per cent union town,
but has been reduced to an open
shop town through concerted action
of certain manufacturers. After
breaking the unions in many shops,
price war among hat concerns
spelled the doom of the fair en-
plOyers who tried to pay union
wages and survive amidst cut
throat competition, stated Carroll
in his reply to Mrs. Luce.
The sickness" that struck Danbury
was further aggravated, Carroll points
out, by the introduction of machines
which displaced thousands of skilled
hatters. These machines were owned
and leased on high monthly rental
by a group of wealthy manufacturers
to the local hat manufacturers. These
rentals went on whether or not the
factories ran but fathers of large
families trod the streets in idleness
and lived on charity, wrote Carroll
It was Rev. Hamilton H. Kellog,
rector of the St. James Episcopal
Church who first called Danbury a
sick city," revealed Carroll. Four
years ago Rev. Mr.. kellogg went be-
fore the Common Council and de-
manded that something be done to
relieve the suffering among its
citizens.
The mayor appointed a COM
mittee of Is citizens to discuss and
work out ways and means of i'm
prOvement. Hat manufacturers and
bankers dominated this committee
and nothing ever came of it, stat
ed Carroll, who himself offered the
suggestion that new modern factory
buildings be built to attract new
industries.
Il am happy, Mrs. Luce, that
you are showing SO much interest
in this NATTER" Carroll wrote.
''YOur interest will make certain
the discussion of this subject, so
that all opinions may be obtained.
Indifference in the past has spelled
near ruin for Danbury. Continued
indifference will spell future dis
aster for Danbury."

Mile of Dimes
Campaign Up
ToConnLabor
State To Raise 100000
Minus Aid Of F. D. r.
Birthday Balls

Dimes contributed by Connecticut
labor in the annual Mile of Dimes"
campaign to be held Jan. 1880, will
be the main source of revenue in the
effort to raise 100000 in this state
tor the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, according to Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue Thomas B.
Smith, Hartford, state chairman of
the drive which is held annually in
connection with the celebration of the
Presidents birthday on Jan 80.
Because Birthday Balls are out
of the picture this year owing to
the war, greater portion than ever
OF the money secured will have to
be raised through the straight con-
tributiOns. Thus, it will more than
ever be up to labor to put this cam
paign over, said Smith.
The goal of the drive is $4,000
higher than last year, said the
chairman. More money must be
raised because of the extraordinary
progress of the Sister Keeny treat
ment for infantile paralysis which
has been instituted in all the large
cities in Connecticut with remark
able results. In Hartford % out
of 81 new cases were completely
cured by this more effective and
more costly treatment last year said
Smith.
I'VE must raise our state total to
$2OO,OOC, one-half of which will re-
main in the state for care of cases
here. This amount after all, means
ten cents from every person in the
state and in these days l am sure
everyone can afford to spend a dime
Organized labor has everywhere en-
dorsed the campaign for the fight
against infantile paralysis. President
Green of the ALL. and President
Murray of the CLIO. have endorsed
the National Campaign and appealed
to all members of labor to support
it. A Labor Division of the National
Foundation has headquarters at 342
Madison Ave. New York.
The Central Labor Union of
Hartford, at the call of President
William A. Scott, has taken the
lead in Connecticut by endorsing
the ''Mile of Dimes and group
of local representatives have laid
preliminary plans for the drive.

Hull House Head
ForcedToResign

CHICAGO. = Charlotte Carr, for
five years head of world-famous Hull
House, has resigned rather than sacri-
fee her political independence.
The Hull House board of trustees,
composed mostly of LaSalle Street
businessmen, had demanded that she
choose between Craftsmanship of the
Independent Voters League, a New
Deal group, and continuing as head
of Americas oldest settlement house,
founded in 1889 by Jane Adams.
Miss. Carr, secretary of labor in
Pennsylvania during the Pinchot
regime and later head of the New
York Emergency Relief Bureau,
stressed workers education in the Hull
House program. Hull House, under
both Jane Adams and Charlotte Carr,
helped workers organize both by ex-
tending the houses facilities to new
unions without charge, and by cham
pioning labor's side in strikes and in
the fight for social security. 1t is
understood that Hull House will now
conhne it's activities to,traditional well
fare work.
