the critical situation which prevails.
Responsible executives of city
governments, leaders of organized
labor, the administrators of unem-
ployment relief funds in the cities
the welfare agencies, the churches
all are sounding note of warning.
"They are advising congress of the
facts. They are presenting to con-
gress all the information obtainable
and which cannot be refuted.
Millions of idle, hungry people,
who are dependent upon relief agen-
cies, cannot be supplied with relief
through the ordinary relief agencies.
IF congress fails in this great
emergency it cannot plead ignorance
of the facts, but must assume the
responsibility for what will follow.
Suffering Millions Must Have
Assistance
I'VE have reached critical period
in the history of the nation. 1t is
fraught with most serious conse-
quences.
Patience and fortitude are being
shown by those who suffer because
they still hope and believe that con.
gress will not fail them.
"It is for these suffering men,
women and children, who have shown
such wonderful self restraint under
the most deplorable conditions, that
labor appeals. Congress must not, it
should not, it dare not adjourn until
the hopes and expectations of these
suffering millions have been met in a
reasonable way"

New York City (ILNS)-A consen-
sus of business surveys shows the
shorter work week a growing factor
in planning of business readjustment,
with labor's contention coming in for
new prominence.
1t has been pointed out that had
business needed labor's program at
the outset, employment would not
have suffered the almost catastrophe
drop shown by all figures.
Business reports now point out that
increasing attention is being given
the shorter work week as a means of
spreading work and likewise that in
many instances the shorter work
week already has shown better re-
suits for the employer.
Brings Gain in Output
Just as the eight-hour day brought
gain in efficiency, so the new shorter
week is improving the eight-hour day
record. Perhaps it is this, some OBJ
servers hold, that will finally bring
most big employers to adoption of the
six-hour day.
At the same time severe blow is
struck at the concentration Of profits
by the Commercial Credit Company
the official organ of which declares
that ''if our savings had been more
evenly distributed from 1921 to 1929
there would today be more normal
demand for goods from some 20,000,-
600 persons whose present purchasing
is limited to the barest necessities of
life.

in times of great prosperity surplus

result being, of course, that when the
chart turns downward, following a
peak, neither this vast accumulated
surplus, nor the interest thereon, is
available to finance consumption and
therefore to arrest the downward
trend"

hlngton.-Strong opposition to
the campaign to force congress to adj
journ without constructive action on
the vital question of unemployment
relief was expressed by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in statement
which charged federal legislators
with responding quickly to the de-
mands for financial relief made by
bankers and other privileged groups
and then delaying month after month
action on the requests for assistance
coming from millions of the destitute
jobless.
Unemployment Relief Is Imperative
"The concentrated drive" Mr..
Green said, (which is being made by
special interests to force congress to
adjourn quickly has aroused labor and
intensified the feeling of disappoint-
ment which prevails among the work
ers because of the failure of congress
to deal with the unemployment stu
alton in practical and constructive
way.
"Under no circumstances should
congress adjourn until it has dealt
with the problem of unemployment
relief in way that will meet the
requirements of the situation.
Conditions Grow Worse
"The summer is fast passing and
the hope that it would bring improve
ment in the economic situation has
not been realized
"The facts are conditions are worse
and will continue to grow worse dur
ing the fall and winter months.
Helpless people who have been
/, suffering for years must not be fore
ed to undergo another winter of suf-
fering and depression.
''If for no other consideration, the
dictates of humanity require that con
gress meet this extraordinary situa-
| ton.
Congress Gives Preference to
Bankers
Congress responded with alacrity
to the demands of bankers, special
interests and those who have not
actually suffered from hunger be-
cause of the unemployment situation.
''The facts are that this character
Of legislation should have been Sec
ondary and unemployment relief
measures should have been given
preferential and primary considera-
ton
at is inconceivable that those who
have been benefited by the enactment
of the financial reconstruction meas
ures and other similar measures
would be SO selfish as to demand that
congress adjourn before it has dealt
adequately with the unemployment
and agricultural problems.
Unemployment Emergency Is Acute
Because national emergency ex-
! lists congress must face its duties and
discharge it's responsibilities.
/ "The construction and unemploy-
ment relief measures now being con-
sidered by congress in hasty and
illogical way are totally inadequate
to meet the minimum requirements of

BONUS CITY"
Has No Bright Lights
Marked By Order, Not
Corruption

Washington, D. G. Camp
ed in what have you" manner, the
bonus expeditionary force stands as
Americas most remarkable human
experiences. 1t is an American phe-
nomenon of the first order.
Leaving aside the bonus issue, the
army is a remarkable institution.
1t is doubtful whether the bonus as
a definite issue is what really moved
most of these men to come to Wash
lngton. 1t seems more probable that,
beset by destitution about which they
were able to do nothing, they decided
that coming to Washington was a
definite and affirmative move and the
cnly one they knew how to make.
The most remarkable feature of the
whole occupation is the perfect order
of the invading forces.
An Orderly City
The main camp is a city, in every
thing but comfort. 1t is organized as
well as any city in the country. It's
order is better than the order of most
cities.
Because these men have been sol

down to traffic policing. Every de-
tail does its work and does it with
precision and snap.
Bonus army members are desig-
mated by badges. There is no such
clothes is a rarity. One in good con-
dition doesn't exist
But this army of men, ragged, not
too we'll fed, here on forlorn hope,
inspired to come here by the maneu-
vering of politicians and of their own
leaders in the American Legion, has
one marked characteristic. Every
man carries himself like a millionaire.
They have brought their courage with
them. And, being organized, they are
not hopeless. Their hope, whether
they know it or not, is not in the
bonus, but in their own unity.
En~ oIf
These men have come in groups
from all over the country. Among
them are skilled mechanics and fine
artists of many lines. The idea to
"march to Washington" spread like
some nebulous cloud across the coun-
tryside, with it's magnetic appeal. By
many ways they have come. Train
crews and automobilists have helped
them. City officials and state officials
have helped, wisely or otherwise. But
here they are. And the perfect order
of the social unit they have set up is
one of the most remarkable things in
America today There is no political
corruption in the sizable city they
have made and there are no Al
! Capones to sap its vitality.

will not get its bonus, but it has
shown that in the rank and file OF
America there is sense of order, a
capacity that BODIES we'll for the flu

 HERE SATURDAY
Canadian Poet to Deliver Address Before the Wa
 terbnry Teachers
AT SCHOOL HALL

Wilson Macdonald, Canada's Poet Laureate," will deliver a lecture and recital at Wilby High school auditorium Saturday even- ing under the auspices of the Wa terbury Teachers Association, for the benefit of the School Milk Fund.
 Here is what some of the out standing critics in the country say of Wilson Macdonald:
 A new poet of power, riding on the mountain tops.
 An athletic poet who plays hockey and does it well, who holds record for the 100 yard dash.
 A man who left a home of wealth and scrubbed a bar-room floor for a meal and worked his way across the Atlantic on a horse- boat at IT for the freedom of writ ing poetry.
 A man of rare gifts; magician, artist, poet; any one of. which would make 8 man famous, but pre-emintently a poet for our day aTid for all time.
 "A mans poet" because of the virility of his verse, which reveals that he has been woodsman, forest ranger, sportman on ski. A vagabond who knows North America from Greenland to Sar Diego and who writes poetry as widely varied as his travels.
 An amazing personality who is equally great on the platform as ir his poetry; equally at home with masters of literature and with lit tie children.
 The regular meeting of the as- sociation will be held this after noon at o'clock at Crosby High school. Reports of the Wilson Mac Donald lecture-recital will be given

Il Very Rev Thomas Conlon, O. F.,
 national director of the Holy Name Il Societies of the United States, cele-
 brated the 8 o'clock. mass and ! delivered a special sermon on the \ Holy Name in St Margaret's
 church yesterday morning. Father II Conlon, son of MT and Mrs Thomas Conlon of 71 Clinton street, attend- 9ed the recent Eucharistic Congress I in Ireland and addressed a gath Il ering of several hundred thousand l persons. He has been in great de- I mand, throughout the country by
 Holy Name societies and other organizations. I yesterday morning witnessed the Il first Communion services of the Il newly organized Holy Name So- I ciety of St Margaret's church. The \ fact that the national director, Il Father Conlon, was the celebrant H of the mass, was most pleasant surprise for the, members of the
 society and for the parishioners Of St Margaret's church.
 Father Conlon reviewed briefly
 the history of the Holy Name So-- ciety movement from the date of it's inception in Spain in the 18th century; the personal encourage.
 ment given by Pope Gregory or
 that period down to Pope Plus of
 the present day. He cited popular
 queries and comments made Of the
 existence of the organization ana
 its purpose.
 A Holy Name society is not an
 organization of men who are in Il the habit of using profanity freely Il 1t was explained. It is not pri- l marily a corrective society. It is I an organization tended to develop the spiritual side of man, to imbuc I him with an enthusiastic desire ! to honor and protect the name of l Christ, to defend his teachings ana I to give proof to the world of their l character as Catholic gentlemen 4 in the daily exercise of the pre-
 cepts of the church.
 l The Holy Name Society came in- l to being as a protest against false I doctrines, insidious propaganda | and as counter attack against I movement that tended to make I popular the ridicule of the divinity 1 of Christ. The need of such
 society is as great today as ever, l concluded Father Conlon, and he l Expressed the hope that the men l of St Margaret's church would l continue to manifest their love in 1 the teachings of Christ and furn-
 ish daily evidence of their qualities I as Catholic gentlemen.
 l Over 100 members received 1 communion yesterday morning. l Father Conlon was assisted by Rev | Edward J. Brennan, pastor Of St l Margaret,s church.
 This evening at 7:30 o'clock the Holy Name Society will hold its
 first regular monthly meeting. The
 appointment of committees and an 1 outline of a program of activities
 for the year will be features. The
 personnel of the committees Will
