The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-02-16

That the worker should have the same right as industry to protec- ton from economic disaster was the assertion of Judge Thomas O'Donnell of Kansas City, Mo, speaking before the Fraternal Or- der of Eagles at a large gathering held last night in Tano's dance garden. Judge O'Donnell who is one of the leading members of the order in the country was the guest of Naugatuck aerie at big class initiation. He has taken an active part in the presenting of a bill to the present congress that would insure workingmen of the right to a continuous job at a saving wage.
 The bill provides for a perma- nent commission to be taken as the federal industrial commission. Un- der this bill the government would do for the worker what the inter state commerce commission has done in the stabilization of our railroads.
 Industry depends largely on the worker he stated and he should be entitled to the same consideration as industry. Judge O'Donnell inn pressed upon his hearers the fight that was waged for years for an old age pension by the order which has resulted in the enactment of old age pension laws in IT states of the Union, six provinces in Canada, in Alaska and the fight is still being waged with just as much vigor as when 1t started.
 He also touched on the work mems compensation acts of the country which were largely brought about through the fight that the F. O. E. waged for years for en- actment.
 Thirty-five candidates were initi- ated at the meeting. Visitors were in attendance from several aeries in the state. Others who address ed the meeting were Judge Martin k. Gormley and Judge John F. Me- Donough.
