Week—Johnson’s Ruling and Not State Barber Commission’s Should Be Observed Angelo Possemato, secretary treasurer of the local Barber’s Union, No. 7*2, charges that Patrick Travlsano who operates a •hop on East Farm street, “is bark ing up the wrong Tree" when he protests action of the barbers taken at a mass meeting Monday even ing. Jn a communication to The Democrat today, Mr Possemato eta tea: ‘ Regarding the statement tg last night's Democrat of Mi Trevisano, that the barbers, assem bled in a muss meeting at Garden hall Monday evening, had no right to adopt regulations governing barber shops, may I state for that GREAT BATTLE IN HARTFORD Move Started to Erase Doubtful Democrats Off Party List MUST HAVE" HEARING Over two hundred democrats a Milford have been cited before thi ■ registrars to answer why theli names should not be removed fron the list of democratic voters. Thi charge against them is that the) have not supported party nominee , and therefore have no right to ex pact to parade under false colors. Chairman Gallagher contends thi 200 names can be omitted from thi list according to law, for failuri to support party and candidates. Section 700 of the Revised 8tatutei of 19*0, regarding erasure fron party lists, provides a method oi erasure of names from the list, “if In the opinion of the registrars oi party leaders these names shoull be taken off the list for failure t< support party and candidates.” It iho phnrepy Htanrl. thorfi if talk Of instituting similar proceed' Inga In different towns In the state. According to the law, the accused are entitled to a hearing and after that it seems the de cision rests with the registrars. II is difficult if not impossible t« prove such charges beyond a rea sonable doubt, but It Is said that In Milford it has not been unusual tu find so called democrats oul against their party on election and (coming forward as leaders of demo cratic clubs the following year. II this can be shown there is no rea son why Chairman Gallagher and those associated with him should not be able to prove their charge and rid the party of men who are not with it any longer than they be at the helm. Anyway, it ii an interesting case and democrate all over the state as well as in Mil ford are Interested in the outcome.

MAIN ST — «t — Holmes Avenue Dial 3-1233 Arthur J. Lunny UNDERTAKER Introducing to Waterbary THE FUNERAL H°MI m abwtlatnlt free U CENTRAL AVENUE DMI «-St9t gentlemen's benefit, that as usual he Is barking up the wrong tree and as much as I dislike being drawn Into a controversy, especial ly with one who does not first check his statements, I believe I am duty bound to correct him and others who are not familiar with the NRA pledge that Mr Travlsano and others so patriotically signed. "When codes were first discussed in July the barbers along with bootblacks, dishwashers, porters, etc, were placed In the president's blanket code, namely 40 hours a week, and many of the local bar bers In order to display the blue eagle applied for and signed their pledges to work their employes 40 hours and pay them not less than 113 per week. That agreement was violated by most of all bar bers and nothing has been said. "Under date of August 13, 1933, the Journeymen Barbers' Union filed a request with General Hugh S. Johnson for the substitution of the 48 hour week In place of the 40 plan and the administrator ap proved the following substitutes for Paragraph 1 and 2 of the presi dent’s agreement: " <1. No barber and no employe can be employed more than 48 hours a week. '2. No operator of a beauty shop or other employes can work more than |48 hours weekly. • “ '3. No barber or beautician can employ any person under 18 years of age.’ "The maximum hours apply to any barber or beautician actively working pt the chair, whether the 1 shop be one chair, two chairs, or more. The Owner of that shop can only .work 48 hours In any' one : week. The penalty Is left to the local administrator. Therefore if Mr 'Travlsano signed the NRA pledge, he should for once, live up 1 to a pledge that he made to the , president of the United States. He should be working 48 hours now ; and not after September 1. "He should pay attention to the ruling of General Johnson and not to the three-headed barbers* com mission. The Master Barbers and Journeymen are only trying to re duce the business hours of barber shops to 83 hours to make it easier for the one-chair shops and then they shout. "In closing I wish to state that we have a committee who will check and report all violations of the NRA pledges and we warn all who have signed that pledge to live up to it In all sincerity and not for publicity, for If they are caught they will receive publicity not to their liking. "Signed, “ANGELO POSSEMATO, "Secretary-Treasurer, Local Bar bers’ Union, No. 732.” WATERVILLE Watervllle Is to have the first game of the championship playoff scries of the Naugatuck Valley Twilight league.
