The wind up of the "45" tdurna !. ment ut St Francis xavler's parish hall last night was the most suc- cessful affair held in the parish since the old home week given years ago during the pastorate of tho late Rev J. J. Curtin. The hall was crowded and the speakers kept tho audience In roars of laughter from start to finish. Some said this was due in part to the good things prepared by Mrs Prosl. proprietor of the pastry shop on East Main street. who had charge of the menu. However this may be 1t Is certain that the meeting was a great success and reflected much credit on the management. One of tho rare treats was tho presence of Rev Martin Doran, of St Francis Parish, New Haven. Father Doran Is, a native of thls city. He spent his b0yhood on Dublin street during which he made frequent trips across tho lots to Washington Hill, where he fig ured prominently in athletic sports with the youngsters of that district. He has a very vivid recollection of his experiences on tho hill and res lated some interesting remInis- cences last night that created ronrs of laughters. Father Doran ls chaplain of tho 102nd Regiment and president of the New Haven Public Library.
 The meeting was called to order by Daniel Baldwin, president of tho Holy Name society, who ex- pressed much pleasure at the large attendance and introduced Rev John Dillon as master of ccre- monies.
 Joseph T. st Louis. executive secretary to Mayor Hayes was the first speaker. He said that the mayor regretted that owing to his absence from town campaigning In the Interest of Al smith, he was | not able to be present. However he desired him to have the meet. ing informed that hc appreciated the invitation, and that he would have felt sighted in case hc should be overlooked by gathering Of citizens on Washington Hill. MT St Louis told a couple of good stories and concluded by stating that he had come to express the good wishes of the mayor for the success of the meeting.
 Judge Gormiey Of Naugatuck
 made Il brief address during which
 he stated that due. to the efforts of Governor Cross, the sum Of $15.OOO Is available to carry on the investigation to be made of tho old age pension and assured the
 meeting that the success of thla
 matter will depend upon. the people themselves at the next election.
 He also expressed his pleasure at
 being in attendance, remarked that he Is out -of-town a good dea! l lately, but declared that after Al
 smith gets the nomination for president he will make frequent visits to Waterbury. He gave much
 credit to the Eagles for what they have done for the old age pension. Rev Martin Doran tnlked at
 some length during which he told | his hearers more about washing | ton than some of them knew, and also took occasion to remind his hearers of the necessity of Catho- | lie young men being more active Tn
 shaping affairs of the community, state and nation. He said 1t was rather strange that considering their numbers, ability and op- portunities, how they prefer to remain in the background and l be onlookers to others, ana added that there is too much
 timldity among Catholic young

Fig the very heart of society, the basis and foundation of our national life. The home Is the training school of the future citizens of our republic, like home. like country
 He deprecated in no uncertain terms the propaganda of those "who would destroy the nation by destroying the homes in their un- tiring efforts to spread the insid! ious doctrine of birth control . doctrine contrary to the law of God and the law of man."
 He offered n heartfelt prayer that "the Catholic womanhood Of the nation would cling scientifically to the teachings of their holy rclig. ion in preserving all that is sacred and noble In motherhood"

signs into the strike conducted by
the Alteration Painters Union against
Steinberg and Preistar, 1884 College

This attempt TO confuse the issue,
and to take the strike leadership
away from the nine men who are now
fighting wage cuts there was a failure.
The strikers chased the ALL pickets
away.
The tenants of 900 Home st. held
meeting for the support of these
striking painters, and decided not to
let any painters into their apartments
until the strike is settled.

0OO. Last year there are no
figures to compare with, as
there were only borough cleo
tons and elections for other local
officers.
This nearly three-fold increase in
the New York Communist vote be-
tween the two presidential elections
is probably not indicative of the great
gains made elsewhere, because Of
New York local conditions, the expert
counting out of Red votes by the
Tammany machine, and the concen-
tration of their chief dcmagogs here
by the three capitalist parties. Re-
turns so far coming in from other
parts of the country show much
greater gains for the Communists
than in New York-Chicago with its
ten fold increase, for instance.
Thomas Vote Falls.
Although Norris Hillquit got a
250,249 vote in New York this year on
the socialist ticket for mayor. Thomas,
Socialist running for president
got 120,936 votes in New York, lower
than his 175,676 vote for Mayor in
1890.
AS usual, certain of the local can
didates, well known to the workers
in their territory as leading struggles
right there, or opposed to capitalist
candidates who are well exposed, ran
ahead Of the presidential candidates.
Highest Red Vote 26,228.
Louis Engdahl, running on the
Communist ticket for State Attorney
General got 26,228 votes, while his
Socialist opponent Carlin got 1899.
Rose Wortis. running for Comp
troller, got $3.50 votes as against
l18452 for Roth, Socialist.
W. w. weinstone, Communist for
U. S. Senator, got 25,439 votes in the
city, as against 109,883 for the So
cialist lawyer, Solomon.
Patterson and Shepard.
The two Negro candidates on the
Communist ticket polled good votes.
Patterson, running for mayor, got
24,222 votes. Henry Shepard, Com
munist for lieutenant governor got
Is, 1881 votes, as against 74,452 for the
Socialist.
Amter, Communist for governor,
