REALTORS PLANNING TO PROMOTE BIG
 WATERBURY BOOM
New President of Brass City Real Estate Board Announces His Proposal to Make Things
 Hum in Building Line.

Waterbury, June I.-Robert Denni- son is the new president of the Wa terbury real estate board. He suc- ceeds Daniel T. Harrington, who has served in that capacity for the past year. At the same meeting at which MT. Dennison was elected president, George A. Palmer was elected secre- tary and treasurer to succeed C.. Averill Crane.
 It is the plan of the local realtors to start big building boom in Wa terbury during the present year and a meeting will soon be called for the purpose of formulating plans for stimulating such a boom. MT. Den
 nison, the new president, will be the
 "man behind the guns" in the cam paign.
 Daniel T. Harrington, the retiring president, urged the boom in his re-
 tirement speech before the board,
 calling attention to the fact that rents
 are once again becoming very scarce
 in Waterbury, and mentioning the in
 creasing business which is coming to
 the local factories, with the result that there are not enough workers in
 the city and the factories are now be- ing compelled to seek help from out side the city, all of which means that there must be more rents to meet the demands of the many tenants. MT. Harrington was congratulated
 by the members for his successful
 term as president, who thanked him
 for the large amount of time and at
 tention he had devoted to the office
 and to the affairs of the board.

 In the words of MT. Dawes: We are entirely non-partisan, and we shall not hesitate to oppose any l politician or any-party who Shllly- shallies and yields to the demands of various aggressive minority organiza- tions in order to obtain votes. Patrio- tic American citizens can no longer tand idly by while the republic is
 undermined by egotistic ninorities which point the weapon of their po- litical power at cowardly ofhce-hold- CTS and office seekers.
 'Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, to join this movement political party. It means that you demand and propose to see that your party properly upholds in precept and action the Constitution of the United States and it's principles, for which our forbears fought and died, and which has given to us as people the blessings of liberty under law" General Dawes simply proposes to make the voice of sound American ism audible in the councils of the Re publican and Democratic parties, and that, is for the good of the parties and the good of the nation," explains the Grand Rapids Herald. And, 1t adds,
 that there is need for such leader ship and for such an organization is
 emphasized in the recent trial of
 Communists in Michigan" "The | Minute Men have a good cause, a good title, and good method," notes the Spokane Spokesman Review, which hopes the movement twill spread from ocean to ocean" Simi- lar sentiments are expressed in hte
 Philadelphia Bulletin, Springfield Re publican, Chicago Journal of Com
 merce, New York Herald, Indianapo- lis News, Cleveland Times-Commer- cial, Buffalo Courier, Columbus Ohio State Journal, San Diego Union, and
 Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The formation of the Minute Men," in the opinion of the Chicago Tribune, 'is more than an event; it is one of the many portents which show that the wind of American loy- alty is rising" Continues the Tri- bune:
 For years American principles and American institutions have been sub jected to persistent attack. We are realizing that the country is full of
 disintegrating forces and that it is time for us to protect our birthright.
 Millions of Americans have been
 more or less consciously looking for
 the raising of such a standard, and

A Directory of Our FRIENDS

In pursuance of the movement which has for its purpose the urging of all working people to give their combined support to reputable con- cerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united co-opera- ton.
 It does not necessarily follow that concerns which are not here repre- scented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demon strated their friendliness in various ways and should have our support.

they will rally to it, for America is America still"
 But some editors-Socialist, Labor and otherwise-believe "the General is playing with dreams" as the Provi- dence Bulletin puts it. "The fact that the new organization stands for the open shop will be a challenge to the organized labor element of the coun- try," declares the Lincoln (Neb. ) State Journal
 It is, however, from Labor leaders and Socialist papers that most of the caustic comment comes Mir Com pers began the "backfre" by suggest ing that General Dawes put on g black shirt, and call himself Musso- lini." Next came a statement from an official of the Illinois State Fed eration of Labor, to the effect that "General Dawes is not alarming any one by his latest burst of claptrap.' Victor Berger's Socialist MilsSaukee Leader also wonders whether the members of the Dawes organization are Minute Men or minute men, Says this paper:
 Having failed to get the Republi- can party to openly esPouse the SO called open shop-not because it is OPpoSNu lO lIlS OPSh olIOP, OoI ON- cause it would be poor politics to openly espouse it-this organization makes the open shop one of its blanks.
 "It isn't worded that way, oi course. They are always cute in the way they word such things. The plank reads:
 "4. Indorsing the announced posi- ton of the Government of the United States maintaining that the right of a citizen to work without unlawful i'm reference is as sacred as the right of citizen to cease work, irrespec- tive of whether he is or is not mem Der of a labor or other organization.
 Sounds fair on it's face-but means death to organized labor-means death to the right to strik e-means governmental protection of strike breakers-means low wages and heightened hours-means the open shop"
