Disputes Cut KennecoH's
 '46 Profits

Profits of the Kennecott Copper Corporation for the first quarter oi l94e will approximate 25 cents { share, compared with 70 cents q share a year ago. President E. T. Stannard told stockholders at their annual meeting in New York yester- day. The strike at Kennecott's lo- cal manufacturing subsidiary, the Chase Brass & Copper Company along with @ strike at the corpora tion's Utah mine caused a sharr reduction in production and sale during the first three months of the year, said the presidents report.
 An increase in the ceiling price of copper from the present 12 cents a pound to IA cents is not fair or satisfactory solution of the copper industry's problems, MT. Stannard said. Copper subsidies now in ef- feet have no place in peacetime economy and the market should be allowed to seek its natural level, MT. Stannard declared.
 If 1t is decided to continue the subsidy program, he went on, the best proposal is that of Senator Mo- Farland, of Arizona, which would set a ceiling of not less than IS cents a pound.
 Chase employees here returned to work April 8, after strike that had been in progress since Feb. <. The Kennecott strike in Utah has been under way since early in the year. Along with other copper strikes it was recently investigated by the Federal fact-finding board.
 A date for strike action by 300 production workers of the Risdon Manufacturing Company in Water bury and Naugatrck plants will be set at meeting at Rubber Work CTS Hall, Naugatuck, tonight at 8.
 A wage agreement between the union and the company was reached several months ago when plants in the Naugatuck Valley area followed the steel industry's settlement with an IS 1-2-cent hourly wage increase.
 Ovide Garceau, international rep- resentative for the C.I.O. Mine, Mil 6 Shelter Workers, asserted last week that management is giving us no alternative but to take strike action"
 The main point of disagreement between Risdon and the union has been the company's refusal to inc clude an arbitration of grievances clause in the new contract.
 The strike vote which was passed four weeks ago was followed by the cooling-off period required by the National Labor Relations Board.

the area and the need of the tene- ment by the landlord, said there was no escape from issuing the in- junction, since the landlord had accepted Q months rent and there by broke the summary process pro- ceedings started against the tenant more than eight months ago.
 Mrs. Sangiovanni said she had to move from her home on South Leonard Street, and wanted to oc- cupy the Seymour Street house, which she bought last August. A summary process judgment had been obtained against the tenant, who was given until April 1 to va- cate the tenement.
 Felt Sorry for Tenants
 Mrs. DeRosa testified that on April 1 the landlord collected $20 rent from her, and gave her per- mission to continue occupation of the tenemant. The landlord. said Mir. DeRosa was in the hospital at that time, and she extended use of the tenement for one month be- cause she felt sorry for the ten- ants and did not have to leave her South Leonard Street home until May 1.
 Judge Quinlan said the case in- volved "a very tough situation"
 He commented that the difficulty of the landlord was caused by &C., ceptance of the rent, and that that act now necessitated the starting of new summary process proceedings against the tenant.
 The turist commented, eff attor- neys could only deal with their clients all the time a lot of trou- ble could be averted." It was point ed out the landlord accepted the rent without first consulting her attorney.
 'Try and Do Something"
 Judge QuinSan, in granting the injunction, advised the landlords attorney to file motion for disso- lution of 1t, and urged counsel for the tenant to "try to do something about the situation and reasonably soon." He pointed out that he would not have to act on any mo- tion for dissolution of the injunc- ton, if the counsel were able to set tie the matter themselves, and he urged the tenants lawyer to try to meet the other attorney half way".
