warns OF RIOTS
. in RELIEF ABSENCE
Norman Thomas Tells Smith
Graduates Need Of Social
Pioneering.
by the Associated PRESS.

| NORTHAMPTON Mass, June 49,
Normal Thomas, Socialist leader, toda,
at the fifty-third annual commence.
ment exercises Of Smith College urged
400 seniors on to new pioneering ir
social relations" If serious riots and
revolts would be prevented In the United
States"
1T was no roaring radical" he said
but q sober professor OF economies, a
Democrat in politics, who told me the
other day that three or four years more
Of such depression as we are now en-
during, with the same heartless and
stupid indifference to the misery of the
unemployed, would mean violent revo-
luton in America.
Expects Riots"
II am doubtful of the revolution, +"
Thomas said, but should expect very
serious riots and reyolts within the
next three years despite the amazing
docility Of the workers thus far, unless
we substitute plan for chaos in relief
and in our whole economic order.
MY own guess Is that II things drift
the first large scale and well organized
violence will be the violence Of a new
world war. Any violent revolt in
America, on any large scale In any near
future, would be far more likely to be
Fascist than Communist"
Thomas said that his purpose, how
ever, was "leSs to predict what forms
great violence may take If we drift than
to argue that we must not drift"
Blessed with little time In which
to plan for our economic salvation"
Thomas said, I'VE wrangle and drift,
ever coming nearer the rapids. Yet we
hold, 7 believe in our hands, at least
the possibility of foreign and domestic
program that will make peace more
likely than war"
He dwelt for some time on "our do
nestle lawlessneSs," and said, Racket
eering which has been amazingly pro-
NOTED by general contempt for the
eighteenth amendment, but which Is by
no means simply a product Of legisla-
ton which the public wished apparent
He hit az the Supreme Court decision
which denied citizenship to those re-
flsing to bear arms and asked what,
excepting an expectation Of violence"
could "decently explain the snowy and
well advertised air maneuverS conducted
over the strategic points in America on
the very heels of President Hoover's
solemn warning to European nations
that their expenditures for ornaments
were the principal cause Of world de-
pression?"
And certainly nothing else than the
expectation of violence can explain
compulsory military training In high
schools and universities"

LOOKING BACK
 HUNDRED YEARS
The City of Waterbury Has Made Wonderful Strides
 During That Period
AND STILL GROWING

The year 1881 marks the one hun dredth anniversary of the coming to Waterbury of the first Irish settlers of the town. At that time although the territory included a good slice of what is now Naugatuck. the popu- lation was but trifle over three thousand souls and there was noth- ing to show that it was destined to become the great industrial com munity it is to-day, with a popula- tion of almost one hundred thousand and a grand list of $173,000,O00.
 An inland town with no natural advantages and until recently poor transportation facilities, Waterbury has made wonderful strides. This was due to the genius of it's founders and the character of those who came here from other countries, most of them having fled from oppression under the crown heads of the old world and considered themselves fortunate to find homes where they were assured an even chance with others in the race for a livelihood.
 There is talk of q union field day meeting of descendants of the pioneer Irish and other races in one of the public parks this summer, but whether it will materialize cannot be stated definitely at this time. | 1t comes off it will be an eventful day. Assuming that all who would be eligible to attend should turn out there would not be many left in the homes and about the city streets.
 Anyway. when one reviews the past of Waterbury impartially he wonders what all this talk means about the need of an entirely new plan of transacting business As q mater Of fact the charter of Wa terbury. with one or two changes is as good guide to municipal govern ment as there is in the country. If anything has happened in the past that was not as it should have been, the fault cannot be traced to the charter, but rather to neglect on the part of those whose duty it was to see that its provisions were en- forced. But on the whole, it is man ifestly unfair to charge that Water- bury has not been well governed It is one of the most successful in land cities in the United States, had less public scandals and fewer re- ligious brawls than any of its neigh bors, and the percentage of work ing people living in their own homes is larger than that of any other in- dustrial community similarly located in New England

 An individual in not alone great by reason of wealth, position or pow CT but great because of his or her understa nding of humanity, the sym rathetic comprehension of the needs of others and the understanding citi- Zcnship.
 Wealth and power are but specks of dust compared with the mond- ments of love and respect that peo- Ile build for those among their fel- low men who posses the beauty Of understanding citizenship"

wide, with two rooms. In the early
days it had no floor and the roof was
of straw and earth.
Among the speakers to be heard at
the diamond jubilee which is being
held this year about the same time
they have their annual homecoming
event are Governor Olson, Mayor
Bundle of st. Paul, Mayor Anderson
of Minneapolis, and Congressman An
dresen of Red Wing. Attorney Joseph
Mekota of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a for
mer New Prague teacher, will deliver
the principal address. Special honors
will be paid to the wife of Governor
Olson, a former New Prague girl.
Frank Korbel, a local contractor, is
constructing a miniature replica of
the earliest buildings at New Prague.
The buildings will be of logs, such
as were used in 1856, and there will
be representation of the first night
spent on the site of New Prague, when
the first settlers slept beneath a tree
without other shelter. There will be
a bridge, and other structures to form
a natural setting.
New Prague is pretty little city
in a we'll developed farming COM
munity, with one of the best co-opera-
tive creameries in the state, and has
made great advancement in the rs
years. No doubt an unusually large
crowd will enjoy the parade, speaking,
singing, band music, frolic, displays
of relics, old fashioned machinery and
household articles, and the pageant
dipicting the history of the commun-
ity.
