grounds that two of his several
petitions were fraudulently OBJ
tanned.
Original decision to rule out
Mr.. Kruger's petitions came on
July 5, when the Erie County
Board of Elections boned the
petitions on the grounds that
the signatures had not been wit
messed by the circulator.
WeicheI From Sandusky
Alvin Weichel, Republican
anti-labor congressman from
Sandusky was unopposed for
election, and the throwing out
of the Kruger petitions is seen
as way of eliminating Kruger.
When the Wood County Board
of Elections refused to allow
Kruger to qualify on grounds
that his petitions were 78 names
short due to the Erie County
Boards ruling, the case was ap-
pealed to the Court of Appeals,
which conducted a hearing on
,&lly % at Sandusky.

the hearing was held in,
Sandusky, Attorney Earl c.
Kruger, a law partner of Con-
gresham Alvin Weichel, and at
torney for the Erie County
Board of Elections, put Frank
Marx of Sandusky, circulator of
six of the petitions thrown out
by the Erie County Board, on
the stand.
After it had been brought out
that Marx had personally wit
messed the signatures to five of
the six petitions, Attorney Krue-
ger asked MARX, VINO "o9S'<S

Worries


Delegates who attended
last years UAW-CIO con-
vention in Buffalo are be-
coming worried about the re-
ported housing shortage in
Grand Rapids, Mich. scene of
the 1914 meeting.
Melvin Schultz, Local IL pres
ident, commenting upon the
shortage of hotel Accommodations
said, Our International union
should put the convention in
some city which is large enough
to handle the excess of delegates
and visitors. We won't forget
Buffalo"
Local IL delegates arriving
in Buffalo last year had to
stand in line before the desk
of the UAW Housing Commit
tee before they were given ad-
dresses of private homes where
Accommodations were availa BILE.
Most of the Toledo delegates
were scattered all over the city
and were forced to ride long
distances to and from the con-
vention hall.
Smaller City
Up to the present time only
rooms were available for the
oledo delegates. Reservation of
80 rooms had been turned down
by hotel authorities who wrote
Local IL officials that further
reservations. must be m
through the convention housing
committee.
In a small city, the size of
Grand Rapids, the problem of
the delegates and their
visitors is more acute than in a
large city like Buffalo where
everyone finally was able to
find rooms.
Many delegates who were
planning on taking their wives,
and visitors who usually attend
the convention are debating
whether to take chance and
try to secure rooms this year
due to the known lack of avail
able rooms in Grand Rapids.
General comment among the
delegates was about the same as
the words of one who was over
heard saying, "this business of
he International pulling con-
1ention in small town is a
ot of bunk. They can blame
he war if they want to, but
hey are not kidding the Toledo
delegates. We think picking a
own like Grand Rapids is lot

Clamping down on persons who
try to obtain benefits fraudu-
lently, the Ohio Bureau of Un-
employment Compensation has
started prosecutions in various
parts of the state. Recently
workhouse sentences of thirty
days each and fines of $4,000
each were imposed on three
men convicted of defrauding
the Bureal. Restitution of the
benefits drawn illegally also is
being made in full.
"The Bureau is charged with

Charles H. Jones declared. 1--WE
must be as diligent in pre-
venting illegal and fraudulent
payments as we are in seeing
that those justly entitled to
benefits receive them. Anyone
attempting to obtain benefits
unlawfully will be prosecuted
and required to make restitu-
ton"
Since the first of the year,
more than $5500.O0 in benefits
obtained illegally by individ-
uals has been recovered for the

sents restitutions made by those
who either through misunder-

HELP SHORTAGE
DELAYING WORK
State Department of Health
Reports interruption of
Essential Service

Shortage of personnel in the State
Department of Health Is delaying
its essential services, Stanley H.
Osborn, M. D., Commissioner of
Health and Glendon A. Scoboria,
Personnel Director, declared today.
Where are all the clerks and
stenographers? Retired from public
life? Married? Health work is just
as much war work as other indus
trial activities. For instance, one
crying need is for assistance in the
Bureau of Child Hygiene five
clerks and stenographers are needed
at once. Stenographers are also
needed to carry on work relating
to crippled children.
Because of this shortage of help
it has been impossible to keep up
to-date on the special certifcation
notices for the maternity care pro-
gram for service men. Payments for
professional services for this pro-
gram are also in arrears because of
lack of clerical help. This program
is government program for ma
ternity care of service mems wives
and for medical care Of sick infants
of service men. The department is
doing all in it's power to reduce
such delays knowing full well that
bottlenecks in such program must
weigh heavily in the moral of the
service men, so many of whom are
confronted with their own diff
cult problems at the front.
If any one is willing to share in
thsi work as war obligation, con-
suit the Connecticut Saate Depart
ment of Health at once.
