Parties Agree On Mediation
Governor Urges Y. CT. Settlement {

Stamford, Jan. 15- (UP)- Gov. R. E. Baldwin's directive to the state Board of Mediation and Ar filtration to bring a speedy adjust ment to the 7O-day-old Yale & Towne strike, brought assurances today from both labor and man. agement that they would cooper ate.
 Meanwhile, the State board scheduled 6 policy meeting at Hart ford late today to fix a time for the mediation conference, which probably will be held here.
 However, AFL International As- soclation of Machinists Counsel Jerome Y. Sturm said he was "con- siderabiy disappointed" that the Governor had not appointed fact finding body, especially in view of the fact that this principle Of fact-finding has been enumerated by the President and apparently is favored by both labor and man. agement.
 s.Tn addition, the principle of fact finding is especially important m this case" saih Sturn, because the proposed legislation submitted by the President will not cover 8 dis- pute like the Yale & Towne strike.
 We shall, however, continue to cooperate with the mediation board in the future. as we have in the past. The record will show that the union has made an honest ef- fort to negotiate in good faith. The record will likewise show that the company has failed to negotiate in good faith. We hope that the State Boar dof Mediation, following the instructions Of the governor. will be successful in solving the dispute"
 A company spokesman said that s'Yale & Towne has c0-operated with the State Board of Mediation in the past and, if called upon tc do so again. will of course. COG operate as any other law-abidine citizen is expected to do."

CIO Protests StoreW0ges Are Too Low
 Statement Is Filed
 At Public Hearing
 At State Capitol

The State Council of the ClO today protested the State Labor Commissioners proposed minimum wage for the mercantile trade Of the state as too low and as fixing the standard work week at too many hours. The proposed mini mum wage is $22 week and the proposed work week is A hours.
 The CIO made its views known n a statement filed at q public hear. ing ct the State Capitol this after noon. The hearing was called by the Labor Commissioner.
 The CIO statement was presented by Joseph Rourke, newlyAelected secretary-treasurer of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor, togethei with a presentation of the AFLs own views.
 'The presentation of the AFL's and CIO's views by the representa- tive of one organization shows the united thinking of two bodies on this question" the CIO said.
 The CLOS statement declared: "A S22-a-week minimum wage which will also be maximum with many establishments, Is grossly sub-standard wage; and sub. standard wage in 0 highly profit able trade is an unconscionable matter.
 "Maony workers in the mercan tile trade are the breadwinners of families. It is obvious that at $22 a week, bread or any other food will be a short item on the tables of these people. The cost of living has risen 45 per cent during the war and is still going up. A wage of S22 week is not only contrary to tNe economics of the situation but contrary also to the fundamen- taI principles of social justice"
 The CIO declared that, volume of business and net profits in the mercantile trade are breaking all records. Business forecasters say that future volume and profits will be skin greater. The excess profits tax has been eliminated and there

 Backs Army Discharges
 All Who Expect
 Releases Will Be
 Out by July l

Washington, Jan. IS = CUP)- Army Chief of Staff Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that by July every man will be discharged from the Army who has 8 right to expect release at that time. Speaking before aAsnahaEg 0s khe Senate and House in the auditorium of the Library of Congress, Elgelz- hover said he would give members of Congress Q complete explana- ton" of the AFmy's demobilization program.
 Waiting to address the meeting on Navy demcbilization was Admt- ral Chester W. Nimitz, Chief of Naval Operations, who was accom- panied by thanking officers and Adm. William D. Leahy, chief Oi staff to President Truman.
 Eisenhower was introduced by Undersecretary of War Kenneth C. Royau.
 Marshall Figure Low
 He noted that at a similar meet ing last September former Chief of Staff Gen. George c. Marshall told
 
 Congress discharges would average 750,OOO men a month for last Octo- Der, November and December.
 Actually, he said, they averaged I,2O0, 900 a month, and "the result was that l,650,0O0 men have gone to their homes who had no right to expect it."
 If discharges had continued at that rate, Eisenhower said. "tht Army would have been out of mer by March"
 For that reason demobilizatior was slowed to some extent, Eisen' hover said. But, he added, it i! still ahead of the rate Marshall ex' pected last September. Hits Charges
 At the present rate 8,000,0O meI will have been discharged by JulI l, whereas previous plans called fo release of slightly less than 7,0OO.' 900 men by that time, Eisenhowel said.

100000 UE Workers Quit for $2-a-day Increase
Big 3'Hos 78 Factories Idle tn Strike

New York, Jan. 15--(UPl All production was halted in 78 plants of General Electric Westinghouse and General Motors Corporations today when 100000 members of the United Electrical Workers union quit work to enforce demands for $2-a-day wage tKA~ crease.
 "The strike began this mornine on schedule,' Albert J. Fitzgeralds president of UE, said in statement issued at union headquarters.
 Because of the refusal of Gem. eral Electric, Westinghouse and General Motors to grant the unions $2-a-day wage demand, 100000 ems ployes have been compelled to go on strike"

sident Truman's fact-hndlng legislation to curb strikes.
 Responsible members indicated that weeks may elapSe before there is final action-assuming that Con- gress acts at all. At yesterdays first meeting of the second session of the 70th Congress there began a period of marking time until MT. Truman's annual message on the state of the Union is delivered.
 The message is scheduled to be read in each House by clerks day after tomorrow. Whether that schedule will be kept or delayed pending further clariflcation of the labor situation probably will be re- vealed this afternoon at a White House news conference. The con- sensus is that the seriousness or the labor situation cannot be prop erly measured before next Monday. Decision on a steel strike has been postponed by the CIO Steel Work CTS Union until that day.
 Reject Panel Action
 Congress ignored Mir. Trumans request for rush enactment of the fact-findlng legislation before the Christmas holiday. His proposal was for a 30-day cooling-oh period before strikes and for authority per- hitting government wage scale m- vestigators to have access to cor poration books.
 House prospects for action on that bill frightened somewhat as Con- gress returned. Acting Chairman Jennings Randolph D-W. Va0, Of the Labor Committee announced that he supported it in principle

Some Matters of Dispute.

Carrollton, Missouri: In grade
school I was taught that Sioux is
pronounced 500" Now one of my
high school teachers insists on my
pronouncing the *" as. ''soox." 4"
Am / confused!-M S.
Answer: Sioux is a French cor
ruption and contraction of the In
dian Nadowessi, little snake" The
*" is not pronounced in either
French or English. In America,
Sioux is correctly pronounced: 500.
Ozark, Alabama: We are having
an argument as to the pronuncia-
ton of the word digest" I say
"DY-jest, and my friend insists on
"di-JEST." Who is right?"-Mrs.
r. G..
Answer: You are both right. But
you should make this distinction:
Cd digest, the noun, meaning
compilation of information, or a
collection of literary works, as the
Readers Digest, is accented on the
first syllable which rhymes with
by. N.Y." thus: DY-jest. ca The
verb, to digest, meaning assimila-
ton, as of food or information, is
accented on the second syllable, and
the ''i" is short, as in digit" Say:
di-JEST.

Fenugreek is widely naturalized in
the Mediterranean countries of Eu-
rope. The plant is used for food for
both humans and stock, in medicines
ana as seasoning herb. There are
% species, ! from Australia
This annual legume is strong
smelling and stands from to 2 feet
high. 1t is unbranched and its leaves
are opoyate. Solitary blossoms of
white arrive in June and August.
The seed pods are faleate and twice
as long as the pod beak. They are
hlled with brownish-yeliow seeds
marked with an oblique line one
half their length. They contain
starch, mucilage. a bitter extractiye.
a yellow coloring substance and 6
per cent Of volatile and fixed oils.
The plant possesses the power of
obtaining nitrogen from the air by
means of root tubercles. In the
United States. it is considered infer
lor to our vetches, clovers and other
green plants ploughed under for soil
enrichment.
In Egypt, fenugreek is almost al
ways mixed with wheat -four in
bread making. In Greece. it is
either boiled or served raw with
honey. In India. it is blended with
other condiments in the manufac-
ture OF curry powder. At one time,
the seeds were highly valued in med
icine. Today, however, they are
used only in the preparation of
emollient cataplasms, ointments and
plasterS for external use.
But veterinarians use the plant
in large quantities for poultices and
conditioning powders, and as a We
hicle for drugs. Stockmen use it
to create thirst and digestion for
market stock.
