 First, it is understood, the Bing- ham-Gos combine will endeavor to write plank into the platform putting the republican party on record as favoring repeal. If this move fails the second plank will be offered, calling for re-submis- sion to the voters the question of repeal on election day.
 Congressman Goss, while not a member of the committee on reso- lutions, is delegate from this state to the republican national convention. Senator Frederic C.. Walcott of Norfolk, and Congress man John Q. Tilson of New Ha- ven are also behind the Goss- -Bing- ham move to put the national con- vention on record. it is understood.
 It is believed that when the g. 0. p. national convention takes place Senator Bingham will assume the leadership of the wet faction among the delegates. He and Congressman Goss have been the leaders in the two branches of congress in the move to- bring about a change in the wet laws.
 According to Senator Bingham, the submission of a repeal amend ment to the people is the only fair way of getting a decent vote on the prohibition question.

Roosevelt appears tosbe weaker fin the large eastern states than some of his friends had thought.
 Indications are that the forces opposing Roosevelt will become more determined in their effort to block him. Few regard Smith as the probable nominee, although his heavy vote in Massachusetts may revive some of his following elsewhere. M
 Roosevelt of late has looked more and more to the west for support. His appeal for the little man., which Smith described. as ''demogogic," was especially ad- dressed to the west. His first big campaign speech was at St Paul, Minn., in the heart of the insur- gent belt. His chief campaigners are western men such as Senator Burton K. Wheeler, denn., Mont.
 The ti-Roosevelt strength lies chiefly in the east including, be- sides Smith, John J. Raskob, chairman of the democratic na- tional committee, and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, dominant factor in New Jersey politics. The strategy of the Roosevelt forces is first to prevent the New York governor from getting the needed two-thirds of the delegates and then to put forward some candidate yet to be agreed upon. , Newton D. Baker is most often mentioned as the likely comprom- ,ise in event Roosevelt is stopped.

Protest Discharge
 of Married Women
League of Women Voters Claim Idea Arbitrary
 One ~

The president of the Connecticut League of Women Voters, Mrs Ed ith Valet Cook of New Haven, to- day wrote Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and the heads of the princi- pal state departments and commis- sions expressing the concern of the organization about the rumor that married women employees of the state might be dismissed as an un- employment relief measure.
 "Rumors have recently been re- cicving notice in the press" Mrs Ceok said, ito the effect that the Connecticut state departments may dismiss from employment married women whose husbands are also employed. The prospect that such a policy may be adopted is a mat ter of extreme concern to the League of Women Voters which believes that employment should be predicated upon the ability and Usefulness of the individual and not upon the basis of sex or mari- tai status. If women having other means of support are to be dis Charged to give opportunity for employment to unmarried women. thon the same principle should be applied to men who are not de- pendent for their living upon state salaries.
 "The National League of Women Voters in a recent statement oc- casioned by the dismissal of mar lied women from civil service by the mayor of Syracuse, New York, declared: Studies made by the women's bureau of the United States department of labor show that a large percentage of mar lied women workers are respon- ssble for dependents.

MCKEE BOOSTS
FAKE JOB PLAN
Unemployed Council
Shows Him Up

Mayor Mckee, who recently told a
delegation elected by the unemployed
workers of New York that they could
give no relief to the unemployed be-
cause he must consider the interests
of the bankers and real estate own
ers, has been added to the list of the
boosters of the work Sharing
scheme.
The Work Sharing" scheme was
started by Teagle, head of the Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey, and calls on
the employed workers to accept more
wage cuts and also to divide the
handful of jobs they have with the
unemployed. The workers bear the
whole burden of the crisis under this
clever plan.
The Unemployed Council of Great
err New York has issued a statement
exposing the Work Sharing" scheme
and Mckee. The statement reads in
part:
McKee's proclamation declares that
the object Of the campaign, initiated
by President Hoover and such labor
hating magnates as Teagle of the
Standard Oil, is to see that even
though the total amount Of work to
be done remains the same, the num-
Der of jobs may increase and millions

Meet Oct. 7 to Map
Fight on White Guards

The "Noyoye .Russkoye Slovo." a
Russian White Guardist organ, which
continuously prints vicious lies against
the Soviet Union, printed on Sept
23, a front page article, which came
from Socialist source-c1aiming that
eighteen prominent Communists in
the Soviet Union called for re-
moval of Stain, and also that Stain
was causing starvation among the
peasants who were against the So
Wet Regime.
That this is none other than a
stupid lie may be judged from one
OF many facts proving to the con-
stray. The First Five-Year Plan
laid down by the Soviet Government
called for Is per cent collectiviza-
ton of peasant farms. Already the
peasants themselves, in answer to
this call, have collectivized over rs
per cent of the farms.
The "Novoye Russkoye Slovo" is
printing these lies as part of its
white guardist campaign to organize
Russian, Polish and other workers
against the Soviet Union. In order
to help smash these anti-working
class activities, special Conference
of Polish, Russian Ukrainian and
other organizations will be held on
Friday, October 7th, 100 Second Ave,
at pm. sharp.
All organizations are asked to
send two delegates to this confer
ence. Secretaries and chairmen,
whose organizations do not meet be-
fore october 7th, should attend
themselves.
