 During the parleys the union dropped its demand that the pay increases be made retroactive.
 The local A.RC. unit of the MMS.W. approved the settlement terms ct c membership meeting in Garden Hall yesterday afternoon. TorFington and A1sonia locals also voted their approval yesterday.
 No OfIers Made at FlFst
 The American Brass Company strike began Feb. {, when members of Mine, Mill e Shelter Workers Union locals in Waterbury, Ansonia and Torrington stayed away from work to enforce their demands for wage increases and contract changes. The same day workers at the Buffalo. N. Y.. plant also went on strike. AB.C. workers in e fifth city, Detroit, joined the strike in March.
 Prior to the strike the company had declined to make any wage ofRer to the union, claiming that operating losses since the end of the war made higher pay impossible. Only increases in the ceiling price of' brass products could justify any increases, said the company.
 Q. s. Conicilator Walter A. Mag giolo arranged the first settlement conference in March, after the OPA had authorized an increase averag- ing Is cents pound in the price of brass. The company advanced an offer to increase wages 16 l-2 cents an hour, provided the union agreed to five conditions attached to the increase. The union rejected this proposal as being mo offer ct all"
 Two additional brief series of meetings in April likewise ended in deadlock. Meantime the company granted an l8 1-2 cent hourly in- crease to workers at it's Kenosha, Wis, plant, who had not gohe on strike. Connecticut unions there upon charged the company with failure to bargain collectively in good faith, filing a formal com- plaint with the National Labor Re- lations Board. Specifically, the union claimed that A.B.C. had dis criminated abainst Connecticut em- ployes by refusing to make them the same wage offer granted in Kenosha. Complaints with the NLRB were also filed by the unions at Detroit and Buffalo.
 Examiner Investigates
 An NLRB examiner came to this city to make an informal inyesti- gation of the union charges and talked with representatives of the company and the C.I.O.
 Effective May 1, the OPA author i1ed another increase in brass prices, this boost being one averag- Ing 1.3 cents Q pound. Commis- sioner Maggiolo was in this city conferring with the disputing parties when the new increase was and arranged for the fourth renewal of bargaining since

looked over the little guy as if he might be . poor relation. not rec ognizlng him as the jockey who earlier ine the afternoon had been the target of 5000 pairs of eyes as he made . rip-roaring challenge for the famed Preakness stakes aboard Q colt called Lord Boswell.
 He fell c dirty neck short, did the little guy but 1t was a bid which brought a swelling, heart checking roar from 10000 throats. But here in the crowded night club, sllorn of the red and white silks of the Maine Chance Farm. he was just another customer-and not even big enough to worry about crowding.
 "No they don't know who you are-without your horse," he. grim ned. "But just let them town when you're supposed to win with @ favorite and see how quick they'll recognize you"
 Thought He Was CinOh
 But all the orangeade in the joint couldn't erase the mocking though of Assault, the horse he and Lord Boswell couldn't quite catch.
 Tt was . tough break" Doug unused. T thought at the far turn we were a cinch to catch him. We were laying fourth and Boswell was full of run. But then there we were. bottled up by two others, and As- sault pulling away by himself out in front"
 Lord Boswell made game effort, the kind of try which was enough to give, Dodson 8 real thrill as they hammered down the stretch in their futile pursuit.
 Sure I got 8 kick out of it." he said. We were pulling up fast and yet with excruciating slowness. It was only seconds, but 1t seemed like hours. I thought for a while we might make 1t. but, well, we just ran out of ground"
 ... Not DiscOnsOli
 So a few inches of horse highway spelled the diffe: ..Ilce between $l0,OOO and $2,OOO for the kid from Idaho. Yet the real difference was winning one of the big ones the stakes that send . jock down in history as a real topnotcher. Doug, however, wasn't -onsolate.
 Well get that one," he said. "1n the Belmont stakes. At mile and a half we'll show that Texas horse how to step it off"
 With that, the little guy disap- peared toward the dance flooor to be swallowed in a mob which ear- Her in the day had watched his every move. Right then he was-an undersized nonentity. But in the back of his mind he had an idea than on June he'd be the toast of everybody in the joint. You can't, as somebdy once said, blame guy for dreaming-particularly . little guy.

 Freak TFagedy
 Mrs. Ringenberg's death was one of the tragic freak accidents of the city's history. It was the second tragedy in Q year resulting from . faulty gas main. One man had been asphyxiated previously while sleep- ing in his home on the Country Club Road.
 Although the deceased's daugh- ter, aon-in-law and grandchild were in the home ct the time of the blast, they suffered only minor inc juries. Mrs. Ringenberg, because of the location of her room, received the full impact of the explosion.
 The explosion occurred when the son-in-law, aroused by the smell of gas and in 6 groggy condition, opened the cellar door thus spark ing the oil-burner which in turn ignited the accumulated deadly gas.
