 Claiming that tho area iS suffer- ing from critical labor shortage and that recruitment of Alaskan workers here will cause added hard. ships in the community, tho petl. tioneFs ask for immediate Stoppage Of the Alaskan recruiting.
 The teiegrams will go to Paul McNutt, national WING director, and James DyFnes, national mobilization director, as well as the state gover. nor, Tho signers arc: Mayor John 6. Monagan, William T. Jebb, chair man of the Victory Manpower Com- mittee, and Ralph F. Paine, presi- dent of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce.
 The communication reads As fol- lows:
 "The undersigned vigorously pros test recruitment of workers In Wa terbury area for shipment to Alaska. Waterbury is c No, 1 critical labor shortage area and indications are that it will remain in that class if!cation after restrictions have been removed from oil other Connecticut cities.
 Waterbury is playing c vital role in supplying war materials to fight- Ing front, Recruitment of Alaskan workers here will cause added hard- ships in community now making every effort to solve existing labor shortage problems.
 We urge your immediate consid. eration SO that steps may be taken to stop Alaskan recruitment cafa- paignS here."
 Paul Parsons, manager of the local U. 8, Employment Service, where the recruitment Is conducted, stated today the labor situation here is expected to be little affected by the Alaskan recruitment. He point- cd out that very few men are ex- pected t. be atcured here, because of the rigid phSaleal requirements and because of various considerations which have little appeal for some prospective workers. The persons sought here are mainly construction workers, with no inroad expected to be made into any industrial activity heFv.

TRIPLE TIE FOR
LEAD and THIRD
POSES PROBLEM

Something else, In addition TO
the wisdom Of Solomon, the mental
encouragement Of Professor Elm
stein, and perhaps q lending hand
from the income tax experts Of
Washington, d. c., may be needed
to unscramble the closest finish Of
the more than thirty years Of weekly
alley activity In the Elks' bowling
league.
AS an immediate result Of last
nights scores, Chairman Bill Cum
ninghann viii have to go into a pro-
tracted huddle with himself, and,
as soon as possible the captains of
no less than six teams, three of
which are tied for the lead In the
National division, with three more
knotted for third place in the Amer
lean division, where Eddie Lyons
and his lads have been sitting on
top Of the world for q week or more
wondering which team they will try
to beat for the league champion
ship.
Everything must be Strengthened
out like a flag In the wind, before
the annual Elks' bowling banquet,
already scheduled for next Saturday
night, May 9Th.
Missed the Boat
Al Koskey and his mates blew"
a chance to sew up the National
division title; and gain a rolloff for
the league championship with
Lyons Lads when Bill Verriker and
friends won one Of three games
from the Koskeyites last night
KoSkey needed a clean sweep of
four points to be 'in" but missed
the boat when his team, which set
q new league team single Of 1880
last week, concentrated on missing
the head pin so much that, plus a
heavy handicap of so pins, was much
too much to overcome In the open
ing game, won by the VerikerS. How
ever, the favorites came through in
the second and third, took the pin
fall; but got no better than a triple
tie, as Joe Mulville's Raindeers, also
rolling last night, won a 40 de-
cision over Kruse and Co.; to tie
KoSkey's men and also Jimmy Sag
inario's Soffritas winners by 81
last Monday night. The situation
that now presents itself calls for a
rolloR against Lyons outfit for the
1884 league championship. Roll
offs for second and third places, as
we'll as the title had been carded
for Tuesday and Thursday of next
week by Chairman Cunningham, but
q brand new problem has presented
itself.
Third Place Tie
In the American division. three
teams are also tied for third place
after last nights scores were In
Dan Driscoll, Bill McCristle and Bill
Verriker captain the teams tied fol-
third place in the American divi-
sion who must settle their particular
issue before next Saturday, too;
which means that Sunday afternoon
may be used to help the problem
which will untangle as son as orders
for action come from Chairman
Cunningham, who Is somewhat Of
an expert ct problems in bowling
leagues, with which he has been as
ISOLATED for many years.
