Divorces Rise In Bay State

Boston, Dec. 29-(UP)-The Bos- ton Traveller said today that the divorce rate in Massachusetts was "rocketing recklessly" and that dur ing the past year the number of divorces granted in the state were triple that of 1914.
 As typical of the record for Suf- folk County was shown with 1,039 divorces granted in 1884, 1,457 in 1914 and 8 total of 2,769 divorce libels filed through Dec. IS of this year.
 Boston was said to have the high est divorce record In history with a 8 per cent increase in divorces granted this year over last.
 Returning husbands in uniform are suing wives for infidelity and war wives are seeking nullifica- tions from previously married hus- bands at such a rate that the courts fear being undermanned for the work ahead" the Traveller said. Social thinkers place the big gest blame on the 'hit-and-run' marriages of today"

ABC Extends  With CIO
 Books Closed
 To Private Auditors

An agreement to extend the CiO contract with the American Brass Co.,, for three more months will be signed Monday, it was announced today by John J. Driscoll, state CIO secretary. The contract expired last June and an extension had been granted to Dec. 31, while negotia- tions for a new contract continued.
 A mo lockout, no strike" clause is contained in the extension agree ment, which states no work stop page shall be made by the union until every effort has been made to settle any dispute by negotiation. The new extension will be in force until April l, 194S.
 A similar extension is expected to be made on a CIO contract with the Chase Brass and Copper Co. The Scovill Mfg. Co.,, contract has ex- pired and employees are now work ing without a union contract.
 All three of the manufacturing firms are affected by recent strike votes, and a conference has been called for Friday by the Connecticut Brass Workers Union to map out strike plans. More developments on the threatening strikes are expected early next month.
 Driscoll disclosed yesterday that the ABC has rejected union pro- posal for opening of the firms books to an independent auditing firm. The company has claimed 1t is not financially able to grant the 90 per- cent wage increase demanded by the union.
