CoddIing Of Labor Unions
Is Unpopular


But above all, they feel that
strong labor unions have been so
"coddled' by the Roosevelt admin
istration that they have acquired
power out OF proportion to their eco
nomic Importance, and are respon-
sible for many OF the farmers ills.
Naturally, these congratulations are
not universal, but they appear to be
generally enough held to be repre-
sentative.
There is little labor organization
in the small industries Of Berlin. In
a vote taken among the employees
of the Berlin-Chapman company, the
local war factory, under the auspices
of the National War Labor board,
neither AFL nor CLIO gained stand
ing. People Of Berlin still remem-
Der the granite quarry that closed
years ago when employees struck to
obtain higher wages for helpers.
Workers were forced to accept lower
wages in other quarries operated by
the same company in nearby towns
and the Berlin quarry never re-
opened.
One of the most vocal anti-NeW
Dealers in the town is William H.
Patey, editor and publisher Of the
Berlin Journal, weekly newspaper.
He believes the New Dealers in
Washington are today's backward
lockers.

clares, nov say the people no long

Unless further reductions in the

The council revealed today that

selling for as little as 20 and 25
cents the same grade eggs that
are being retailed in Detroit for
40 and 50 cents a dozen.
In Washington, Senator Willis

DIR. DWIGHT RAYNOR had
lost none OF his directness or eff-
cheney, or confidence in himself,
since Anne had worked under him
last. He went to Weston hospital
with Or. Banning and decided he
would operate there the next day.
There would be no need TO 60 TO

moved in the ambulance and Anne
went with her. The old lady bore
the trip we'll and even said, 81

Anne nodded gravely. I'm tell
you everything then"
And il l don't"
You will. DR. Raynor whatever
his faults, is great surgeon
And a very handsome man"
The old eyes twinkled as she said
it. Anne smiled because it was a
return Of the former indomltable
spirit.
DR.. Banning was all eagerness
to CO operate with his distinguished
colleague. whom he appreciated at
once. He asked Dr. Raynor to stay
with him, but the surgeon shook
his head and said, Il want to be
where I can talk with Anne, who
won't go on duty until operating
time with me. Mrs. Reynolds said I
might stay al her house"
II was an invitation which Laura
also seconded, and Molly was be-
stirred by phone to do her very
best. Laura only saw her mother
after she was in the hospital, but
her approval Of all plans was i'm
mediate. This was scientific eff
cheney and she liked efficiency. She
was very much impressed by DR..
Raynor, too. He was her idea ex-
actly OF what a great surgeon
should be. She was really pleased
when he accepted her invitation TO
stay at her house.
He said, Naturally, want to
see as much as l can Of Anne"
You may consider yourself
