Hartford, Conn, May 1S.-(UP)
 Efforts to reduce salaries and ex- penses 15 per cent in connection with the administration of the Episcopal diocese of Connecticut, failed last night after spirited de- bate. The plan to reduce salaries was offered by a group of laymen from Fairfield county.
 The convention also refused to vote a reduction in the assessment on parishes and missions for sup port of the diocesan administra- tion. The levy for the episcopate and bishops funds. however, was reduced from 1-2 per cent to 2 per cent. It is from these funds that Bishop E. Campion Acheson and Frederick c.

had refused to accept Negroes as
guests.
Led by Norman Thomas, hundreds
of delegates paraded to the Cairo
Hotel and demanded that the Negroes
be housed. A parade with banners
from the convention hall to the fash
ionable hotel, the domicile of retired
army officers, brought the case to
the attention of thousands of passers-
by. The management refused to
bulge, whereupon some 200 delegates,
stopping at the hotel demanded their
money back. This the management
also refused to do until they were
told sharply they would face lawsuits
and national publicity as an alterna-
tive. The hotel finally surrendered.

Victories for Negro rights were
won against Child's and the Cairo,
but a loss was sustained when Thomas
tried to get the Roosevelt administra-
ton to admit Negro delegates to the
government tourist camp. The Con-
gress housed some 500 of its dele

put up the bars against a Negro
worker. Thomas Immediately COM

Miners Child Makes Plea.
The warm and colorful angles of
the great congress would make a con-
siderable chapter. The brave deter
mination of the delegates who travel
ed thousands of miles in trucks, in
busses, on freight cars, on foot was
shown every hous. They began to
arrive on Wednesday before the open
ing of the Congress, tired but with
inspiring enthusiasm. A delegation
of five from Walla Walla, Washing
ton, had reached Clarksburg, W. Va,
when all were jailed for 'trespassing
on railroad property" The five
pooled their resources and four were
bailed out. They came to Congress
headquarters with a request for a loan
of SOFA to be guaranteed by the
Walla Walla Socialist local" with
which to bail out the fifth delegate.
The fund was scraped together.
There was no limit to the gener-
osity of the delegates. At least three
times the hat was passed. Once at a
great mass meeting Saturday night
to help defray expenses of the Con-
gress arrangements committee; a
second time to house and feed the
thousand-odd delegates who had ar
rived penniless; and a third time to
help Tennessee miners. In the third
case contributions were impelled by
a simple, yet most moving appeal
from Della May Graham, orphan of
a Tennessee mine local president who
had been murdered a week before by
company thugs in Wilder, Tennessee.
Montana labor news., 1933-05-25

Howard Kester, of Wilder, who in
troduced the eleven-year-old girl, said
the Tennessee delegation was one
short because of the Staying of Bar
ron Graham, president Of the Wilder
local of the United Mine Workers
of America. But his daughter would
speak in his stead. The girl deliver
ed some ten short, clear-spoken sem
fences, her drawn face revealing the
impress of the great tragedy which
had fallen upon her. In mountaineer
accents she asked simply for labor's
solidarity to carry on her fathers
fight. "And we want you to help u.s."
she concluded.
100000 Workers Represented.
In this account there has been lit
tie said of leaders. In the two days
Of deliberations some thirty or forty
men of labor and the farmers were
the spokesman, but a glance back at
the Congress brings the first impress
sion as one Of masses. The arena was
a tremendous one, seating 5000 down.
stairs and as many in the balconies.
The ground floor was at all sessions
a sea Of faces. The delegates over-
flowed to the front of the balcony and
behind them sat the thousands of
visitors. The delegates represented
about 100000 workers, as closely
as the credentials committee could es-
innate. The largest delegations came
from unemployed groups, from trade
unions, from farmer groups and from
Socialist and other political divisions
of the labor movement.
The 1000 delegates carried through
the Congress in a disciplined style
that overcame all fears about handl-
ing such a huge convention. Com
plete democracy prevailed. All were
heard, including Communists and
leaders of the so-called Conference
for Progressive Labor Action" who
later repayed the Congress delegates
for their openmindedness by spread
ing abusive and false stories about
them.
There was no tagging in interest
to the end. When the organization
and continuation committee present
ed its important report at 4 p. m. Sun
day the delegates were as keenly at
tentive as when the Congress had
been first called to order. The re-
port showed further the Congress
meant business, that it was determin-
ed to reach a compelling position in
the history of the country.
Under the report adopted, the af-
fairs Of the Congress-to be known
as the Continental Congress of Work
ers and Farmers-will be conducted
by a national committee of Cores
pondence and Action. 1t shall explore
the best methods Of economic and in
dependent political action by the pro-
ducing classes for the achievement of
a cooperative commonwealth. The
committee shall consist of 26 mem
bers, five each from the political,
trade union, farmer and unemployed
groups; and two each from the CO.
operative, fraternal and youth groups.

WITNESSES SAY
THEY HEARD
QUARREL
Sound of Blows Preceded
Finding of Unconscious
Form of Beaten Man

A coroner's jury decided today
in Hyattsville that Richard C..
Cooley, IS, came to his death
at the hands of Mrs. Margaret
Nash and Homer Wellman with
Mrs. Mabel MCGEE as an acces-
sorry after the fact.
Cooley was beaten fatally in a
braWl in Mrs. Nash's home in
Riverdale, June IL, and died sev.
eral days later at Providence
Hospital, Washington.
Women Not on Stand
Neither of the women named
in the verdict took the stand at
the inquest which was conducted
by Magistrate Harry K. Clare.
WellmanS however, testified
Cooley first struck him and that
he returned the blow causing
Cooley to fall against either a bed
or a radiator in Mrs. Nash's home.
Police arrested Mrs. Nash and
Wellman at the home but Mrs.
MCGEE was not taken into Gus
tody until later when she was
found in Washington rooming
house.
Alan Bowie, States attorney for
Prince Georges county, told coun-
sci for the three persons he
would decide later today what
charges he would prefer against
the trio and arrangements for
bonds, if any, will be made then.
Neighbors Heard Quarrels
Neighbors testified to a series
of rows extending over a period
of a month in the house occu-
pied by Cooley, Mrs. Margaret
Nash, Mrs. Mabel MCGEE and
Homer Wellman. All of the wit
nesses said they heard Cooley
and Mrs. Nash arguing and they
heard the sound of blows.
It was also testified that two
men had been seen fighting on
the second floor. Neighbors say
they called the police and County
Policemen Claude A. Reese and
William E. Clifton went to the
home to find Cooley battered
and unconscious on the floor of
Mrs. NaSh's room. Both said Mrs.
Nash told them she had beaten
the man because he had struck
her.
