Those relating 10 labor sup- | to meet war conditions were adopted after brief debate. The crea- | tion of an emergency supply commis- | sion connected with the federal de- partment of labor and the report of the executive council on the proper | distribution of labor, were covered | jointly. The committes recommended that the incoming executive council {take up with the presidents of all af- | {filiated organizations and the proper { zovernment officials any question that | may arise in connection with the labor | supply during the war. A Socialist delegate declared that was another effort “to tie the hands of labor,” but Vice-President Truncan, chairman of the committee replied that it involved no binding bar- ain, merely providing for the “face- | to-face” conference that already had been beneficial to labor and the coun- "The report of the committee adopted unanimously. was CONGRESSMEN THERE.

Perhaps the biggest celebration in the town of Plainville will be staged tomorrow eveninz. The celebration will take the form ot a dance and social to be held the auspices of the local unit of the Connecticut Home Guard at the new Hill's factory on Washington _strcet Receipts from the affair will be dxpended by those in charge in buying remem- brances for the Plainville boys who are now in the servicc of Uncle Sam and are doing their ‘bit”, either in this country or ‘“over there At a meeting which followed a drill of the local military unit at the town hall last evening all plans were com- pleted to make the celebration a suc- cess. In accordance .with a request sent out by those in charge of the dance and sacial tomorrow evening members of the company turned in the money which they had collected from the tickets disposed of. In the preliminary accounting which follow- ed the receipt of sales it was learned that members of the home guard had sold over 700 tickets to the towns- people. Of the 1,400 tickets which were printed only in the neighborhood of 400 Temain unsold and it is probable that a fair share of these will be sold at the hall tomorraw evening. L. L. Brastow, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, announced this morning tht it was probable that 1,000 tickets had been sold in this town and in neighboring cities and villages. Members of the Plainville platoon of the ambulance company were fur- nished with tickets as were members of the machine gun battalion. Inas- much as the organizations do not have to make a report of the number of tickets sold until tomorrow evening it is impossible to state exactly the number of admission cards distributed. Also a number of tickets were placed on sale at Crowell's Drug store in New Britain which are thought to have sold well. This morning posters appeared on all of the New Britain trolley cars advertising the dance and social to be held tomorrow evening: Red lights under highways which lead to Plainville and will be lighted tomorrow evening after d They have heen placed so Will divect the I inform them that a real good time ‘s | to be had in Plainville at the Hill's factory. Arrangements rk have been made to accommodate all who attend whether | i | they come with the desire to worship | at the shrine of terpsichore, shuffle | the pasteboards or to be mere watch- ers-on. For those who come by auto- mobile adequate arrangements have been made for the parking of cars. Plenty of space has been allotted for the machines and in addition they will be properly guarded as a matter of preparedness. Details of the military unit will be constantly in attendance | as a provision against theft and to | see that no one takes the “joy out| of life.” 3 Everything at the factory too, is in readiness for the occasion. The heat- ing apparatus has been Installed, the floors waxed for those who trip the light fantastlc, tables for cards and an ample seating capacity for the on- lookers. One floor will be devoted solely to dancing and an eight-piece orchestra has been engaged to furnish the mu- sic. On the floor below cards will be played while the onlookery may de- ! vote their attentions to the activities | on either floor. The doors will be flung open at 7 o'clock for those who come early and at 8 o'clock the eve. ning's festivities will begin. Monotony is not in tomorrow eve- ning’s curriculum, not even for those who neither wish to participate in the dancing or the card-playing. During the evening’s activities a half a ton of | coal, a half a barrel of flour and pound boxes of candy will be raffled off. Chances may be bought on any of these commodities at a nominal sum and it is expected that those present will enthuse over this- par- ticular feature of the evening's enter- | tainment. In view of the high' prices which are now paid for the aforemen- tioned commodities ¥t should be a pleasure to win any bf the articles to be raffled. Receipts of the raffle will also be added to the meney taken in for ad- missions. Nonec of the proceeds will g0 to the home guard which is staging the affair but will be spent in buy- | ing comforts for the local men who are wearing the Kkhaki or the navy blue, i Chairmin Rrastow has announced that the dance and social will be strict] informal affair and every- one is invited to attend. Members of the home guard will appear in uni- form and have been reguested to wear | collars. The other military units will also be present and in uni- form. Those who have been unable {o pur- chase tickets from members of the military or from other sources will be able to do so at the hall. Refresh- ments will be served, consisting of ice cream, coffee, buns and frankforts. Belatcil Announcement. The marriage of William \V.
