Report Exposes Profiteering In
 Human Misery
House Group Asks Better Treatment Of Veteran
 Civilian Amputees

Congressman Augustine B. Kelley (Dem., Pa., ), chairman of subcommittee on aid to the physically handicapped, has sub mitted a preliminary report on the plight of veteran and civilian amputees. It is full of construc- tive suggestions, some of them along the lines urged by Frank P Fenton, assistant to A. F. of L. President William Green. Fenton spoke from experience. He is minus an arm.
 Kelley felt that the matter is SC urgent that he read the report on the floor of the House
 He hit at profiteering on human suffering and misery; urged the Department of Justice not to re. lax its investigation of the alleged monopoly in artificial limbs, and asked that the Federal Trade Com. mission be given adequate person. mel to police the artificial limb in- dustry. He pointed out that the industry is wide open to fy-by- nighters who cruelty exploit the handicapped.
 RESEARCH TAGGING
 Kelley urged that the government wartime program of research for the improvement of artificial limbs be continued and that the job be turned over to the United States Public Health Service.
 The record of the exhaustive hear ings recently concluded by the Kel- ley committee is full of testimony that private manufacturers have Jagged far behind in the matter oi research, while charging big prices for 'horse and buggy" appliances.
 ''As a matter of fact, fighting men maimed while using the most modern weapons science could de. wise are being supplied with arti. ficial limbs which are little differ.

ent from those on the market at the close of the Civil War; Kelley asserted. Of course, the same goes for civilian amputees.
 Congressman John E. Rankin's sug- gested that the Veterans Admins tration have charge of the research but Kelley replied that every am putee in America-civilian as well as military-is vitally interested in the matter and, therefore, the program should be directed by the Healtf Service
 One of Kelley's striking recom- mendatiOns was that the main ob- jective of the Veterans Adminis- tration should be to provide limbs that will be completely satisfac- tory and also that as improvements are brought out the substitutes should be supplied without charge.
 In addition, he urged that red tape be cut out so limbs may be promptly repaired. Veterans, he argued, should be reimbursed for time lost from jobs because of unsatisfactory appliances.

Some Nazis Love
 Mr.Ford's Methods


 WASHINGTON (LPA)-Labor leaders and officials in government labor agencies, who are waiting to see how Ford reacts to 1abor's new wage demands, were amused last week at two items of news from Europe. From Germany it was reported that the late and unlamented Dr. Ley, "fuehrer" of the Nazi labor organiza- tion, wrote letter from his cell to Ford asking for a job. From Amster- dam it was reported that the mana gers of Ford Motor Co. in Holland "are being held on charges of col laborating with the Germans. The Amsterdam report was from the of- fcial Dutch news agency, Aneta.

May Even Cause
 Prices To Drop

WASHINGTON, D. C. = Raising the minimum wages of all workers in interstate com merce from the present 40 cents an hour to 65 cents as prescribed in pending legislation would have no significant price conse- quences, Chester Bowles, price administrator, assured Congress.
 In testimony before a Senate subcommittee studying a modifi- cation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, MT. Bowles declared that a higher floor for wages was ''im- perative" to the health of the national economy.
 ''There need be no hesitation on any ones part because of the price consequences of this legislation" :" said MT. Bowles.
 CASE IN POINT
 He presented figures purporting to show that a $l4,000,0O0 rise in the tobacco industry payroll, needed to lift to the wage floor the 58 per cent of the workers in that industry now getting less than 65 cents an hour, would mean about one-tenth of a cent per pack of cigarettes-if the entire increase were taken out of cigarettes alone. He pointed out, however, that ] the industry's profits in 1914 amount ed to $154,OO0,000, which the proposed wage increase would reduce by 9 per cent.
 Introduction of 65-cent minimum in the lumber and timber industry where 54 percent of the workers get less than that amount would ln- crease payrolls by $67 100000. Such an increase amounts to 43 percent of the industry's 1914 profits, MT. Bowles ! admitted, but even this cut in profits would leave the industry o9O percent before taxes above preWar levels, and would yield return of 10 percent on net worth-seven times the prewar average.
 SWEATSHOP PRICES Prices that depend upon sweatshop wages are sweatshop prices. No thoughtful consumer would choose to benefit through lower prices if those prices are based on substantial wages, ] Bowles said.
 1 His statement that prices in the long run might fall, rather than rise, as a result of the 65-cent minimum were based, he said, on the reasoning that ''higher wages increase productivity"
 "A worker who knows that his family is assured reasonable mini mum of existence attacks his job with F new energy and satisfaction. The in crease in output per worker, which l believe would surely result from the proposed increase to o5 cents, would in itself go far to pay for the higher wage bill"

reported was also attached to the resolution.
 Collective Bargaining
 stressing the right of city em- ployes, as Americans to organize Ellis Ranen, international represen- tative of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal ESn- ployes, A. F. L., asserted that muni- cipal workers want the establish rnent of collective bargaining ma chinery and the assurance that they nave nothing to worry about" If they join unions.
 Previously the A. F. of l.. submit ted resolutions to the Police and Fire Boards, covering all city em- ployes, and Corp. Counsel Maurice Healey declared that the resolution could not be adopted by the respec- tive boards since its Jurisdiction was limited to members of those boards.
 The corporation counsel also in- dicated that city employees have the right to associate themselves with a labor union.
 Pointing to the fact that the right to organize was insignificant If the unions were not recognized, Thomas P. Brennan, president of the Central Labor Union, A. F. L., asserted that city employees at the present time were only permitted to meet with authorities as members of @ department and not as union members.
 CIO Reconverslon
 John J. Driscoll, secretary of the state CIO expressed favor of the A. F. of L. resolution affirming the right of employees to organize into union. He was present to back the resolution on the reconversion pro- gram of that organization.
 Rev. Joseph ?. Donnelly, direc. tor of the Waterbury Chapter, Diocesan Labor Institute, in a let- ter to the board, expressed approval of the resolution asking for af- firmation of the right to organize.
 Other speakers included Renato Riccuiti, president of the Greater Waterbury Industrial Union Coun- Gil, e. I. O: Frank Kelly, presi- dent of the International Associa- ton of Fire Fighters, Local 032, the Waterbury fire union;. George w. Thorp, president state coun- ell IS, American Federation of State Council and Municipal ErI- ployes; Armand Fiorelli, president Local 25l; James Mc0rath, preSi. dent, Local 56S, Chase Brass and Copper Workers Union; James Me- Larney. a recently discharged vet- teran and member of Scovill Brass Workers Union, S69, and Timothy Collins, president of the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor.

Democrats showed slight gains in Mondays elections in l4l Connec- ticut towns, recapturing control. of the Norwalk city goverpment, in- creasing their hold in Torrington and winning control of town gov- ernments in Rocky Hill, East Had- dam, Burlington while losing East Hartford and Danbury to the Re- publicans.
 Voters apparently approved by slim m margins three proposed amendments to the state constitu- tions. An amendment which would provide annual sessions of the gen. eral assembly sustained considerable opposition, while voters gave wider approval to an increase in the sal- ary of legislators from $S00s to $500 and an amendment providing the Lieutenant-G Governor -elect be in- augurated if the governor-elect is unable to assume ofiice.
 Daniel Davis, Republican mayor of Bristol who refused to campaign for his own reelection, defeated Frank M. Kirchgessner, D., 4TSl to 1924. Tn Torrington, William A.

 School Notes

Miss Florence Turnbull, girls ath- letic instructor at Crosby announces good news about cheerleaders for the ensuing term. Apparently consider able interest was shown by the stu- dents in this activity, in as much as no less than 3S boys and girls put in appearance. In addition to many new candidates there were seven older members including Frances Murphy, newly elected cap- tain, who certainly lives up to the Crosby tradition Of pep, personality and perseverance.
 EElection of other officers will more than likely follow at the next meet ing of this group. Among the older leaders of the cheering section at- tending were: Mildred Murnane, Marian Gambardella, Roberta Jun yk, Mary Cavalieri, Jane Sander son and Eileen Murphy.
 Judging by the list of new appli- cants 1t looks as though we are in for a bigger and better cheering section this year with these stu- dents bolstering the morale of our teams: Barbara Levine, Peggy Delaney, Rita Cink, Jean Ann Grif- fin, Ltbbye London, Marilyn Keefe, Joan OShea, Sally Steck, Joan Scully, Esther Sullivan, Lorraine Fabian, Maureen Pitts, Marilyn Lewis, Renee Bernbairn, Patricia Mulville, Lillian.

shrewd American businessmen
are beating a path to the worlds
biggest bargain basement - I'm
Gle Sans surplus property sales.
Dealers and manufacturers
who have exhausted their
sources for machine tools, in
dustrial and structural steel,
chemicals, general housewares
and hundreds of other items,
have found these countrywide
sales mine of hard-to-get mer-
chandise.
There are no under-the-count-
er deals and no favored custom
ers. Anyone who can establish
his legitimacy as an authorized
dealer, manufacturer, wholesal-
er or retailer can bid and buy.
Several agencies have been
named to sell SURPRISES. Most
buyers deal with the RFC,
which dispenses capital and pro-
ducers' goods such as planes,
machine tools, metals and pro-
duction equipment; or with the
Department of Commerce, which
handles consumers items rang
ing from finger splints to cof-

No matter how strange the
