 They need nearly everything we produce. There is more building going on in Russia than in all the rest of the world. They are building 5000 miles of mainland railroad track, building tens of thousands of homes for people, great apartment buildings and government build ings.

 When I received the presidents telegram asking me to agree to a moratorium for interallied debts, I refused to agree. In an interview sthat afternoon I called attention to the fact that even at that time Russia was transferring her orders to Germany.
 Germany was giving her credits. All a German manufacturer had to do was to take a Russian bill or dering goods to the German govern ment and the German government guaranteed it's payment to the amount of 80 per cent. The Ger

OWNERS FIGHT AGAINST
 "SWEATSHOPS'' y
But the Manufacturers Doubt If Bill Against These Shop; Will Be Supported at Next Ses= sion

Hartford, Conn, July 23-(U. P.) The Connecticut Manufacturers Association has joined the battle against the sweatshops.
 This attitude was announced by Charles l.. Eyanson, assistant. to President E. Kent Hubbard. Evan son said:
 "We have been much concerned over the number and nature of these shops in the state and have kept in touch with the labor com missioner
 When State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone first disclosed the extent of the sweatshop evil in this state in an interview with the Uni- ted Press several weeks ago, the Manufacturers Association inquir- ed if any of its members were of- lenders. The association was in- formed one of it's members was paying learners a dime a week for three weeks for a chance at regular jobs paying a few dollars a week.
 Eyanson left doubt, however, that Commissioner Tone's project ed program of progressive labor legislation, calculated to drive out the sweatshops. would have the as- sociation's backing in the next gen. eral assembly. He said the situation probably would be corrected by ent laws pertaining to safety, sani- complete enforcement of the pres tation and working conditions .

man manufacturer then took the bill with the endorsement of the German government on it to the Reichsbank and was able to bor- row the full 80 per cent represent ed by the government guarantee, and proceed with the business of filling the order.
 I said then if we were a party to releasing Germany from her obli- gations the result would be that the endorsement of the German state on these Russian bills would be still more valuable and that if any, thing happened to the Reichsbank 1t would be possible for the Ger man manufacturer to take these bills to the bank for international settlement and borrow. This is ex- actly what happened.
 In 1881 we had 84 ships flying the American flag sailing from American ports for Black Sea ports in Russia, carrying American made goods. Now there is not one which flies the American flag carrying American goods to Russia. Our un- friendliness to Russia and the ad- verse legislation we have passed has completely destroyed this trade.
 l know of no reason why we should not recognize Russia. Every other great country in the world has recognized Russia and they are all anxious to trade with her.
 There are only two nations in the world, however, which produce the goods she wants-Germany and the United States. She prefers Amer ican made goods. On account of our unfriendly attitude and our refusal to enter into trade relations with her she is now buying practically everything from Germany.
 Even If we do not recognize Rus- sia, we should enter into a com- mercial treaty with her on our part would do much toward adjusting our relations with Japan and the Orient. The, establishment of friend ly relations between Russia and the United States would leave Japan between the two greatest powers in the world and she would not pro- ceed very far with her aggressive attitude toward Russia or toward us.
 From the standpoint of, sound diplomacy in its relation to the Far East, this recognition ought to be extended to Russia. We need at least one friendly nation in the world, even if we do not approve of her system of government. It is percently safe to trade with Rus sia. Soviet Russia has never yet de- faulted in any of her obligations.

nations affairs, and we propose to make them acutely aware of that power when it comes to the question of voting. Whatever af- fects the good of the nation, af- fects in no less manner the in- dividual who lives in that nation, and it is time that the average voter began to do his own thinking on those, issues which so vitally af- feet him.
 This club proposes to demon strate beyond any doubt that in the present economic disaster 1t really matters who shall be our leader; that both the nation and the indi- vidual demand the election of that sterling democrat and fearless statesman who has received the nomination of his party. We pro- pose to show that the nation needs new kind of leadership; 8 lead ership that is not controlled by ness, flattery, or the monied in- terests. We intend to strike hard at the unworthy and often scurri- lous attacks that have fbeen, and which are still being made by the repGDlcan and antl- -ROOSeVelt forces with regard to the char acter and ability of great Amer ican, and in this connection let me say that we do not propose to allow the decent citizenry of Waterbury to be made the victims of the virus of religious bigotry whicf was used to such advantage and in so dastardly a manner to de- feat our nominee in 1928. The aims and purposes of this club are well known by the national demo- cratic headquarters, and it is with the approval and support of the national headquarters of the demo- cratic party that we are pursuing our present course.

 Glassford then went into a long conference with the commissioners which resulted in announcement that the eviction order was halted until certain legal requirements" had been arranged.
 Glassford handed the commits sioners a formal letter in which he was said to have counselled delay and warned of the possibility or riots if the eviction were carried out.
 Glassford throughout the bonus siege has held to poljcy of concil- iation. So far there has been no serious trouble.
 Glassford hopes the slow retreat of the bonus army will soon de- velop into a general exodus. The veterans bureau says it has pro- vided transportation homeward for 5,301 veterans.

bade goodnight to his wife and 15-year-old daughter.
 Miss Burke had gone to the R-K-O Film studio where she was engaged in making a motion pie ture. Patricia. the daughter, had returned to their home at Santa Monica.
 Helen Kennedy. 25, one of Zieg- feld's three nurses, each of them rivall1ng inc beauty some of the stars of the producers "Follies," entered the room attracted by the sound of two sharp gasps.
 She saw her patient was dead or dying.
 Ziegfeld's personal physician. Dr B. c. Fishbaugh, was out. Miss Kennedy called his associate, Dr Maurice Kahn who was in the hos pital. He hurried to the bedside.
 Ziegfeld had suffered a heart at- tack. Weakened by the long siege of pleurisy and pneumonia. his body had been too feeble for fur ther resistance.
 Miss Burke hurried from the film lot. She collapsed as she entered the. room and found she had been too late to see her husband alive.
 Patricia arrived a few moments later. The mother and daughter wept unrestrainedly.
 A moment later Will Rogers, whose cowboy act was one of the most sensational successes ever to come out of the Follies, came with his wife. He had been told of the death of his old friend and patron.
 Sadly he comforted the produc- CTS beautiful wife and daughter. A few minutes later Miss Burke and her daughter left to spend the night with the Rogers.
 After the first outburst Miss Burke regained her outward com posture and calmly comforted her weeping daughter.
 The shock of the death was heightened by the apparent strides Ziegfeld had made toward recovery in the last few years.
 His wife and daughter dined with him yesterday in the flower banked hospital room with it's view over the profuse flower gardens of the institution.
 His fever had abated and his spirits were high. Soon he hoped to be leaving for his home and the life among his artistic possessions that he loved.
 An autopsy was ordered by Dr Fishbaugh today. It will be con- ducted by Dr Herman Zeiler, path 'ologist of the Cedars of Lebanon hospital.
 Fiorenz Ziegfeld was born in Chi cago on March 21, 1868. His father, Dr Florenz Ziegfeld, was the founder of the Chicago Musical college. His mother, the former Rosalie De Hez, was French girl
 Ziegfeld kept close to the stage even in his domestic life. His first wife was Anna Held. They were divorced shortly after their mar riage in 1899. Miss Held died ol pneumonia in 1918. the illness thai struck down her divorced husband IA years later.
 The producers second wife, Bill lie Burke, was star of Danie Frohman show. They were mar. ried in 1914 in Hoboken. N. J.. after a romantic meeting at a mas. querade ball. They had one child Patricia, who is now 15. Patricia ziegfeid admitted, was his weak ness"

dollars which he collects from cus- toners placed in his custody, but of late MT Combellack is not re- ceiving many new Or old customers and what he has on the books are not paying. He is a clearinghouse in himself in collecting thousands of dollars which in turn he sur renders. to the wives or family providers. This revenue is from non-support cases.
 It may be news to the public to know that when a man is fined for violating the motor vehicle laws. reckless driving. speeding' drunken driving and whatnot the money does not go into the city's treasury. It is sent directly to the state motor vehicle department.
 For the first three months of 1892 the clerk collected revenue amounting to $3,266.39 and for the second period of three months the receipts totaled $2,098.30. Of this amount $4,575.51 was net revenue for the city.
 Tracing back to 1891 the re- ceipts for the two corresponding periods were S5,082.25 for the first six months and $3,270.45. The first six months in 1890 witnessed collections amounting to. ,$12,- 163.52. With but one or two ex- captions the quarterly reports for two years and half show a con- tinuous decrease.
 So it is very evident that Old Man Depression is handing the | city court an awful jolt. If the net receipts are averaging less than $20,000 and the expenditures for salaries alone reach $30,000-re- | gardless of business-it is very evil dent that operating a tribunal known as city court is nothing short of a headache to the city fathers these days.

DOniniOns Are
 Making Demands
(Continued from Page 1.)

Their very nature is evidence of Great Britain's foresight in send ing seven of her most capable cab inet members and more than 70 assistants to Ottawa to deal with the trade problems arising here.
 Each dominion is willing, for a consideration, to make concessions that will favor British manufactur- CTS over those of the United States
 Each demands, in turn, favors for its products that would strike at the empire trade of all the na- tions mentioned.
 The first committee of the con- ference, that on promoting trade within the empire, will hold it's next meeting at 3 p. m. Monday. The demand will be discussed then.
 The speeches of Prime Minister R. B. Bennett of Canada and J. G.. Coates of New Zealand and the statement handed the conference last night have given all delegates, particularly those of Britain, more than sufficient material for study.
 Though in the multiple proposals my dominion delegates, the United States will be affected in some de- gree; there are formidable natural obstacles in the way. In instance is the effort to stimulate British steel exports to Canada, next door neighbor to the United States. Distance. and identity of specifica- tions, types of material and ways of doing business favor the United States.
 Of the articles mentioned by the dominion chiefs, meat is expected to be the most important.
 Australians say that Stanley Bruce, leader of their delegation, is willing to compromise on every thing but that he will insist that Britain in some way concede eff fective special treatment for meat.
 Bruce is said to favor arbitrary limitation of the Argentine export to England as the most practicable because he feels that England can ask Argentina, as close friend of the family. to share in a market which is limited to Britain's con- suming capacity.
 -. Against this is the factor of Great Britain's investments in Argentina, greater even than in Canada.
 American experts that the con- ference delegates as whole are determined to work out a series of agreements that will stimulate. in some measure, empire trade-and that they will succeed.
 They agree, however, that so far as things have gone. There is no reason for serious worry by Amer ican business.

 Incidentally it was announced last evening and remarked in a formal statement issued overf the signature of Chairman Robinson that the club was not concerned with local politics" and was not organized merely to be "against somebody"
 Meetings will be held regularly after the summer vacations. The list of speakers who are expected to visit Waterbury under the auspices of the club will be an- nounced later.
 The statement explaining the purpose of the organization and an outline of it's plans, as issued Dy CHdIIHldH AOUlHSOH, TeduS as follows:
 Let it be understood that this club has no axe to grind. It makes it's appeal to all who have the interests of this nation at heart. It is not interested in advancing the political fortunes of any per- son or group of persons, unless that person be Franklin D. Roose- welt whom we confidently expect to Joe the next president of the United States. We are not con- corning ourselves with local poli- tics, for local politics have no place in the major question before us. The question that confropts us is a national question. In a few months we shall be called up- on to elect president. The Roosevelt-for-President club is concerned only in setting before the public the reason why Roose- welt should be elected. This club is not an obstructionist group. It is not merely against somebody" It is not merely an anti-Hoover movement. It is a positive and en- ergetic effort to interest the intel ligent people of Waterbury in the issues which command national at- tention, and in the man who, if elected, can and will do something about them. It is time that the voters realized their power in the

 The late Dr Hamilton was a res. ident of Waterbury for AZ years, coming here from Vermont shortly after his graduation from the Uni- versity of Vermont. He resided for many years in a little brick dwell- ing on North Main street, opposite Spencer avenue and was a prom inent member of the Sons of St George. Odd Fellows and Water bury Medical Association. He re- tired from active practice about 12 years ago and became interested in some realty holdings.
 pr and Mrs Hamilton were visit- ing relatives of the latter in Bar net, Vt, which is near St Johns- bury. On Tuesday, July 18th, while on an auto trip Dr Hamilton at- tempted to turn his car around on a narrow highway. Tn throwing his engine in reverse he backed too far and the machine toppled over a steep embankment and rolled down the incline into a brook. He was dead when two high school stu dents extricated his body.
 The deceased's only relatives sur- viving him are his wife and a bro- ther residing in Rockville.
