England and
 Gold Standard
Subject of Address To- morrow Night at
 YMCA Forum

Alfred F. Meyerhans, one of the foremost authorities on financial questions in Waterbury to-day will be the speaker at the regular forum at the YMCA Friday, November 6, at p. m., in the west lobby.
 MT. Meyerhans has chosen for his topic England and the Gold Standard" For so many years, the gold standard has never entered the minds of the average American. This was the one issue which seem- ed definitely settled as far as the United States was concerned. Events of late have proven that the gold standard Is a vital prob lem not only to Europe but also to the United States as the af- fairs of the world are bound to- gether in such a way that that which affects one country will also have an. affect on the other coun- tries.
 It is apparent that we need a much greater understanding of the financial situations throughout the world to-day, in order to realize just what effect they will have on our own economic situation, and MT. Meyerhans Is prepared not only to present his topic in force full and interesting manner, hvt Is prepared to answer any questions on the subject which might be brought up before the forum.
 All members are invited to lis- ten in on this forum.

TO CELEBRATE THE
 RUSSIAN REVOLT.
l4th Anniversary of Event to Be Observed By Lo-
 cal Communist Party
ON NOVEMBER 2

November 7th of this year marks IA years of the dictatorship of the Proletariat of the Soviet Union. This year millions of workers will gather all over the world to cele- brate the victory of the workers of Russia and will demonstrate their support and defense for the Soviet Union.
 The Communist party of Water bury is holding a mass meeting on November 7th at Venta Hall, 1O3 Green street at 7:30. There will be entertainment and prominent speakers.
 The Communist party calls upon every worker to celebrate this his- torical event. Especially now. when all the imperialist countries led by Japan. United States and France are doing their utmost to provoke a war with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union does not want to go to war. The Soviet Union has a workers government. and the workers of the Soviet Union want to complete their 6 year plan, which if successfully completed, and results already point to success if they are not SlOppSu Dy war, WILL DetteT tnelT living conditions. But, the capital ist countries want to bring back exploitation and satisfy their lust for more profits.
 While in the United States and all over the capitalist countries millions of workers are starving daily from unemployment or the stagger system, while wages are being cut, while workers are driven to suicide out of despera- tion, while. children are going to school unfed and raggedly dressed, in the Soviet Union there is no unemployment. wages are being in- creased, 30 per cent of the cost of foodstuffs were recently reduc- ed. The Soviet Union gives its first attention to the children, and there the children are well fed and we'll clothed. In the Soviet Union factories are daily spring ing up.
 This is only because the capital ist countries produce for profits and in workers Russia everything is produced for the workers.

Complaint Goes
 To Committee
Banseld Charges Legal Assistance Refused Prisoner
 at Headquarters

Charging that one of his clients was illegally arrested and that po- lice made no effort to communi- cate with him upon the clients request, Attorney Michael V. Blans- field lodged a complaint with the board of police commissioners yes- terday afternoon in which he of fered to prefer charges against the officers involved. The complaint was referred to the committee on men and discipline.
 Attorney Blansfield in his letter referred to the arrest of one Mat thew Donnelly as being illegal on the grounds that when Patrolman Edward Roach arrested Donnelly 1t was after the alleged breach of the peace had been committed. Attorney Blansfield charged Pa trolman Roach had no authority to make the arrest because he did not SC the alleged deed committed and because he had no warrant for the arrest. His complaint also charged that Sergeant George Gooding and Doorman John Shea made no effort to communicate

COMMERCIAL TEACHERS TO ATTEND MEET
LOS ANGELES MAN
 MADE MISTAKE
The Coin He Had in Mind Is One With Liberty
 Head
ONLY SIX MINTED

Coin collectors are certainly alert to any possibility of making a bargin. A few days ago the Democrat carried press dispatch stating that a certain R. W. Will son of Los Angeles, Cal, had of fered $50 for a 1913 nickel. He received offers from all parts of the country as explained in last evenings Democrat. Everything was o. K. until MT Wilson ad- mitted that he had made a slight error. The 1913. nickel he was interested in was of the issue with a Liberty head on it of which only six were minted. The scarcity of the issue makes them very rare and precious for collectors.
 Wilson offered also $1.25 for 1923 Lincoln pennies, while other collectors claimed that they were worth about ten cents each.
 One of the scores W ho read the original article in the Democrat and who became greatly interested was Lenneth G. Blaskey of Bris- tol, whose letter was received to- day. Mir Blaskey wrote his com munication early yesterday and be- fore the explanation of MT Wilson s error was made. He also has a different slant on the offer. His letter reads as follows:
 Waterbury Democrat,
 57 Grand St, Wterbury, Conn.
 Gentlemen: Recently, the fol- lowing article appeared in your paper:
 Los Angeles, Oct 31.-(UP) There's $50.00 awaiting the observant person who detects a 1913 Liberty flve-cent piece, says R. A. Wilson, local numismatist and philatelist. And for finding 1923 Lincoln head penny, any, body may collect SIPS. These prices are those quoted for coins by local collectors"
 The writer is of the opinion that this article should refer to 1922 Lincoln head pennies. If, how ever, 1923 is correct, had a few which I should like to dispose of.
 Would 1t be possible for you to send me the address of MT R. A. Wilson?
 am inclosing self-addressed stamped envelope for your reply.
 Very truly yours,
 KENNETH G. BLASKEY. Il Francis St, Bristol, Conn, Nov.
