panies and union negotiating com- nitteeS can be renewed.
 Commissioner Walter Maggiolo will confer with officials of the American Brass Company Thursday, and has asked union leaders to stand in readiness for a possible conference Friday or Saturday. Commissioner William Traux plans to meet with heads of the Scovi1 Manufacturing Company and Chase Brass and Copper Company before the end of the week, but has not yet been in direct contact with the com- panies.
 Big 8" officials reported nothing new in the strike situation today. Union leaders likewise had no de- developments to report.
 Chase and 4. B. c. employees have been on strike since Feb {, and Sco- will workers since Feb. 6. The work CTS are represented by the CI.O. Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union.
 Union spokesmen have expressed willingness to settle on the basis of an IS Ia cents an hour increase, and claim that under the wage-price policy the management must finish wage negotiations before seeking price increases for brass.
 The companies, on the other hand maintain that they cannot make higher wage offers until assured of higher ceilings for their products.

 The editorial reminded PTayda or Russia's non-aggEession pact with Adolf Hitler.

IAN EDITORIAL End The Brass Strike!

The local strike should be settled and settled quickly!
 There is no sense nor rhyme nor reason in it's continuance.
 It will be settled eventually on some terms why can't it be done now?
 No one is gaining everyone is losing by it's continuance.
 Reasonable leaders on both sides should be able to find formula to start the wheels of local indus try turning again, and at once! If the Washington wage-prce program is the only obstacle both sides should unite to remove that obstacle.
 Wages and prices are as closely related and in- separable as bread and butter house and o brother and sister, If local industry cannot increase wages without increasing prices both, then should be in- creased.
 If local industry is unwilling to increase wages until it has assurance of commensurate and reason able price increases, then both increases should be made simultaneously.
 We can argue until dooms-day as to whether the chicken or egg came first!
 Time has way of slipping by quickly-time to york; time to necessary wages, time to produce and sell necessary products to again have Wa terbury live normally, prosperously and peacefully
 Labor management and the public all have one common objective-a resumption of normal activi- ties.
 It should be possible to find way at once to end the brass strike
