Farmers Overcome All
Difficulties on Way
to Chicago Meet

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov 13-In spite
of the falling of eight Negro farmers
in Chambers County, Alabama, and
a reign Of terror instituted by sheriff
and landlords against members of
the Sharecroppers Union who have
refused to pick cotton for less than
so cents hundred pounds, reports
from Alabama indicate that a good
sized delegation from the southern
states will attend the Farmers End
National Conference to be held here
Nov. 1913, it was reported from
Alabama today.
Increased unrest in the farming
areas arising from mass dissatisfac-
ton with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration which has failed to
help the ruined farmers, especially
those producing hogs, cattle, and milk,
is causing broad numbers of farmers
to turn to the Farmers End National
Conference which will be held in this
city Nov. 1918.
Sharecroppers Union with 5000
members is sending about IL mem
OClS w bl4C SOll1IlCllSC w GSlA 4n1 III
erS from other parts of the country
about the miserable conditions of
southern Negro share choppers. Farm
ers from Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
and Tennessee will also attend the
Conference as well as large delega-
ton of farmers and farm workers
from Arkansas.
At Broad Camp, Arkansas, reports
the state secretary of the Farmers
Protective Association, I'VE had a
meeting of 80 and 80 joined the F.
P. A. and elected a delegate and made
up So and pledged more to send their
delegate to Chicago" Altogether
about six counties of Arkansas will
be represented. A car of delegates
will also set out from Texas. Utter
restitution in the South makes it i'm
possible for all delegates elected to
attend the Conference, but those who
will attend represent broad sections
Of impoverished farmers.
Mayor Spurns Committee
CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 10. Mayor
Edward E. Kelly refused to see men,
bers of the Arrangements Committee
of the Farmers End National Confer
ence here. who had come to request
that the city provide cots for the
nearly 1000 farmers and their fani-
lies who would be in Chicago Nov.
1918, from farming sections all over
the country.
In contrast to the attitude of the
city authorities and the federal auth
critics in Chicago to the farmers con-
ference which is attracting the small
and ruined farmers from the leading
farm organizations in the country,
and the great mass of farmers who
do not belong to any farm organiza-
ton the workers of Chicago are
gladly opening their homes to the
delegates. Already places for $50
delegates have been arranged and
many blanks have been turned over
to workers and workers organiza-
tons.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-14

Characterizing tie Tugwell bill, food and drug act now being giv- en senate subcommittee hearing, as the work of immature ,ideolo- gists," Attorney James F. Hoge of New York at the Lions club today granted the need for new food and drug legislation but attacked the methods proposed in the bill.
 Members of business and service groups of the city were guests of the Lions club at the meeting held at the Hotel Elton. Among those represented were the Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Com merce, Rotary, Kiwaris and Civitan clubs, and 8 number of local man. ufacturing and business houses.
 Attorney Hoge claimed that the bill would defeat the purpose of democracy by allowing an auto cratic group to determine what the public should or should not have. He attacked the clause allowing seizures of products to be made under any one of more than a score of provisions.
 Following his speech at the Lions club, the visiting speaker was scheduled to address a meeting of the League of Women Voters at 61 Church street. Guests were invited from a number of nearby towns.
 Extracts from Attorney Hoge's address. follow:
 Hearings before a senate sub- committee on food and drug legis- lation in Washington last week dis closed difference of opinion on principle rather than on fact. There was scarcely any dispute as to the need for improved legislation with respect to food and drugs. There was violent dispute on the means for achieving the improvement.
 "The question narrows to wheth- CT we shall have le islation by con- gress and enforcement by courts, or legislation and enforcement by a government officer in the depart ment of Agriculture.
 '.In 1906 congress passed what is known as the Federal Food and Drugs Law. By that act it is made unlawful to shop or sell in the in- terstate commerce any article of food Of drugs which is adulterated or misbranded. The act has been amended several times and under it, over 10000 actions have been brought by the government.
 Geo. Instead of bringing for ward amendments to the existing law to accomplish its corrections in the defects of the law or instead of bringing forward new bill which would meet the same pur- pose, the dep. rtment of agriculture has brought forward a bill which would repeal the existing law change, the entire theory underly- ing it, and set up a new, intricate and involved law which in effect would deliver to the secretary of agriculture full, and almost undis- turbed legislative executive and judicial powers.
 "The theory of the existing law Is that the consumer is entitled to get what he wants. The law may go virtually to any extent without violating democratic prin- ciples, in prohibiting deception, un-

had no satisfying explanation to make this morning a., to his re- marks in warning the officer that he intended to do something to warrant trip to jail.
 The case of Louis Angelillo, 2S, of 516 North Main street, charged with reckless driving and operating d motor vehicle while under the i'm fluence of liquor, took up consider able time today. Decision was de- ferred until Saturday morning.
 Sergeant James Gibbons and Patrolman Joseph Reilly testified that the accused was under the in- fluence of liquor when arrested. He was also described as abusive in his language. During the presenta- tion of evidence it developed that on being arrested Angelillo de- manded the privilege to use the telephone as he wanted to call his lawyer. It was explained that he was not given permission to call anyone, but that he was assured that if he wanted anyone notified one of the officers would oblige. It developed that Angelillo demanded that Judge Mascolo be notified. "I'll have to hold night court to satisfy popular demand" remarked the court.
 One Joseph Perce, driver of a Milano company truck. claimed that AngeliIlo's car swung out of Cherry street and crashed into his truck as he was travelling west on East Main street. Two other cars had reached the intersection short ly before Perce and had stopped. They were not in motion when An gelillo swung onto East Main street. Perce admitted that they must have seen the accused coming and lie didn't.
 It was after the crash that the verbal fireworks took place. The two officers claimed that Angelillo staggered and used plenty of pro- Jane explosives.
 There is some doubt as to which car reached the intersection and was entitled to the benefit of the doubt on the sudden change of lights. Both Angelillo and Perce claimed the right of way.
 The cases of George Milestone. 55, of High street, Thomaston and Walter Cleveland, zl, or Park street, Plymouth were continued until the 28th of December. Both drivers are charged with operating motor vehicles while under the al- legged influence of liquor.

Waiving examination on the charge of forgery, Mrs Frieda Breeding, 22, of New York city, was ordered held for superior court by Judge Edward Mascolo in city court to-day. She will be repre- scented by the public defender when her case is called in the higher court. In default of bonds of $1,00O she was transferred to the county jail in New Haven this noon.
 It developed this morning that the authorities in two cities in Texas, Mrs Greetings native state, are anxious to welcome her and her husband, James, back home. The latter is under arrest in Springfield on the charge of for gerry also. From all indications the two have attempted their scheme in many cities throughout the country. Mrs Breeding, who is very interesting in talking about her past life, but non-committal on the offenses charged against her, has admitted that she and her husband were married in California shortly before she entered San Quentin prison to serve sentence of one to fourteen years. She was released after serving sixteen months.
 Several witnesses from Nauga- tuck were in court this morning to offer testimony against the accused but no evidence was recorded. Lo- cally, MT and Mrs Breeding are charged with signing the name of the olson Drug company of Nauga- tuck to a check and attempting to obtain merchandise valued at $52. A clerk in the Nastro Brothers store on Meadow street became suspicious of the transaction and refused to deliver the goods to a youth who called for them with the forged check. The couple were

ssI want to go to jail and this is the only way can get there." The speaker is Joseph Fravagean, 32. of 151z South Main street. The scene was the corner of South Main and Clay streets and the time was 2 a. m. this morning. The au- dience addressed, incidentally, was Patrolman Dominic Verrastro.
 And the only way was sudden motion on the part of Fravagean's right arm in the direction of a big plate window of store. There was O crash, the window was shattered in a hundred or more pieces. The explanation is simple. Fravagean tossed a small, but heavy block of steel against the window and the "only way" was successful.
 "Three months in jail. This is the third man who has come be- fore me lately with no plausible ex- planation at all for smashing win sdows," remarked udge Edward Mascolo.
 According to Officer Verrastro the accused had been drinking, but was not in such a condition as not to realize the seriousness of his contemplated actions. Fravagean

fair competition an1 fraud of the public. As long as it uses it's pow CT to assure the consumers getting what they want, or getting what the article in truth Is, democratic principles are not defeated but full filled. When the government, how ever, attempts to determine for the citizens what he may want or what he should have, regardless Of whether the governments deter mination is good or bad-the very foundation of democratic govern ment is defeated.
 For several months now the of- ficers and employees of the food and drug administration have been using the radio, and appearing be- fore women's clubs and other audi ences. speaking in favor of the new legislation. They have usually ex- hibited what has commonly become known as the Chamber of Hor- rors,' It is a fair comment of this exhibit that it contains few, if any, products which are extensively sold or advertised. The impression which it is sought to leave by the exhibit is most unfair. Briefly stated, the criticism of the Tugwell bill is that it is a skeletonized bill which defines in general, broad terms, spheres of authority and then empowers government of- ficer by regulations of his own making to round out and expand the legislative provisions of the bill, the executive powers and the judic- ial functions. In other words the bill is intended by it's authors to establish legislation by regula- tion.
 Speakers at the hearings last week characterized this bill as the most vicious piece of legislation that they had ever seen advanced.
 "There is no limit under the law to the number of seizures that can be made. Under this bill a person may be indicted and his goods seized, not for violation of the law but for violation of a regula- ton that the secretary of agricul- ture may promulgate.
 ''In the final analysis, the objec- ton is not primarily an objection to this particular legislation but to the theories of immature ideolo- gists upon which it seems to be based. While one, in practice, through his daily contacts sees with each passing year defects and mis- carriages in our legislative and judicial institutions, he recognizes, nevertheless, the security and the safeguards which they afford and the inherent necessity of their be- ing held inviolate if this country is to remain free."

REV DIR GREGG ON
 LIFE IN RUSSIA
Subject of Lecture at the Congregational Club
 in Hartford

Rev. Dr James E. Gregg, pastor of the First church, addressed the December meeting or the Connecti- cut Congregational club Tuesday night in Hartford showing two reels of films taken last summer in Russia while he visited that country with Dr Sherwood Eddy party of Americans.
 Certain people in Russia are probably doubting the wisdom of resuming diplomatic relations with country which is so backward as to countenance lynchings," said the speaker. He condemned the ineffi cient bureaucracy of the present Soviet government, restrictions on personal liberty, speech and the press, the ruthlessness with which all opposition is put down, and atheism propaganda. On the other side of the ledgers he referred to the program of social and industrial planning, the classless society and the education in self-contr0i.
 Describing the anti-religious museaum in Leningrad, Dr Gregg said that one of the exhibits includ- ed a photograph, taken in 1919, bearing the inscription. Hartford Chapter. No. 19, Ku Klux Klan." Rev J. Spencer Voorhees, presided at the meeting.
