Kinsey, president of the New York asso- citation, "as business conditions continue to improve we may expect a steady increase in the number of savings banks depositors and tl,e total of their deposits" MT Kir sey feels that the trend towards tn 0 general increase in depositors aAi deposits is heartening. July, Au- guest and September showed an exceptional increase in botb totals throughout the state, according to the report.

ocial Legislation
 Defeated By COP.
loans for Dividend, Nothing for Wage Farmer, "The
 FergOtten Man. Declares Joseph Tone in Address

Hartford, Conn, Nov 2 2.-(Spe- clal) --sThe wage earner was the loffotten man." charged Labor c'olnmissioner Joseph M. Tone in q radio address delivered from WHIC, Hartford, last night at 10 o,efock under the auspices of the temocratic state central commit tee.
 sIn the last three years of the Hoover administration" said the r0ininissioner," we witnessed wide spread bankruptcy, growing army of unemployed which finally reached fourteen million, a great nllmber of them heads of families, closed banks, and public debt which grew by nearly six billion dollars.
 s'What did the republican ad- mInistration do to remedy the sit- nation? The government created { the Reconstruction Finance Cor pUration and loaned large sums to. industry, not for wages but to assure investors they would re- ceived dividends on their stock and interest on their bonds. The wage eArner was the forgotten man."
 sll ne SpeakeT dlSo CldlHleu lildl ss1Ehen the state labor department was organized under a democratic governor the state was literally oFerrun with sweated wage-earn- CTS. Wages were as low as 10 cents an hour in many industries. Wo- men and children worked 55 hours assyveek and in some cases 87 for 1wAges of $3 and $4 a week. Chil- dion were taken from school at IA years of age and thrown into in- dustry at the expense of the legiti- mate wage earners of the com nIhnity. Working and living con- dfkions compared unfavorably with southern mill towns which have been held up as horrible exam- ptes. :.
 Labor Commissioner Tone point ca out that such agencies as the American Federation of Labor, the Consumers league, the League of Women Voters, and various church groups were called upon to devise a program of social legislation. Out of the various bills proposed one, a minimum wage law, was pissed. The remainder, he stated, met defeat at the hands of repub- iiean legislators. He added, "The records are available to anyone in- terested in finding out how the republicans have voted for the past twenty years on social measures"

SON OF STAINS PRESIDENT SITS
 IN PRISON CELL
Breach of Military Law Is Charge-He May Be
 COurtmartialed

Madrid, Nov 2.-(UP)-Luis Alcala Zamora, 21-year-old son of President Niceto Alcala Zamora, awaited under detention in Vic- toria infantry barracks at Jaca today the result of an investigation of charges that might bring him a prison term.
 He is charged, it was said au- thoritatively, with formulating a protest, for signature by his fel- low recruits, against their reten- ton in the army beyond the one year which al lmust serve under the universal service law.
 A military judge, under the Spanish procedure, began consid- eration of his case last night. If he finds that the evidence shows a sufficiently grave breach of mili- tary law, the presidents son will be courtmartialed.
 Speculation was that, if tried and found guilty, he might be sen- tenced to short term of imprison- ment. His army record has been excellent, and of course, as a son of the president, he could have obtained exemption without diff1- culty.
 Alca1a Zamora was due to be re- leased from the army, with other members of his class, October 31. Because of the national uncer- tainty resulting from the socialist revolt, the recruits were ordered to remain in ranks until further orders.
 Young Alcala Zamora, the presi- dents second son, is a socialist. He is a law graduate and when he was called up for army serv- ice year ago his father, the president, offered to put up the 1000 pesetas (136.60) which would have enabled him under the conscription law to pay a substitute to serve for him. Alcala Zamora refused. He said he would serve his enlistment, and asked his father to give the money to some poor student whose whole career might be jeopardized by army serv" ice.
 It was revealed that the presi- dent was asked about his sons case and told tn cabinet: "The law must be fulfilled pure ly and simply on the principle of equality which is the basis of the democratic regime, in order that justice may be carried out with absolute dignity by those charged with administering it."

What'II We Do With Them?

Professor Maurice R. Davle, memper
 of the faculty of the Graduate School or
 Yale University, believes that the HaWes-
 Cooper bill, forbidding interstate com
 merce in prison-manufactured goods lm-
 poses a serious obligation on the nation. It
 will require much thought and probably
 good deal of experimentation before the
 several states have worked their way out
 of the difficulties that will be theirs when
 the federal law goes into effect in April.
 Connecticut has been acutely aware of the need of providing for future that
 closes many of it's county jail and state
 prison factories There have been efforts
 made to interest the people of the state
 sufficiently so that legislative aid might be given. So far we have not progressed beyond the discussion stage. We are aware of the fact that our prison factories must close down, but we aren't really do- ing an awful lot about it.
 The most sensible step that we did take
 was to establish prison farm in Enfield two years ago. This accommodates .large number of prisoners the year around at farm chores. Of course, the l. number drops in winter, but increases .correspondingly in summer. The removal :. of all women prisoners from Wethersfield . to their own institution at Mantle was !. also another redeeming feature in our .penal program.
 ' Our county jails are unfortunately no !. better off today than they were ten years ago. In fact their physical condition is < worse. Several of our county jails might -well be scrapped. Therefore, we can well : appreciate the gravity with which Pro- z lessor Davie approached the problem of : what to do with the prisoners in our in- : stitutions during the spare moments that : are to be theirs. He suggests prison farms. He also mentions factories at : which could be made such articles as can ' be used in the various state institutions < He also suggests exchange of goods be- = tween the various institutions that manu- fracture them.
 . Along such lines as these Connecticut twill have to proceed with other states = We incline to the prison farm. We think -our county jails could be eliminated with : out serious loss to the state, but with a great saving to the taxpayers. This may : savor too much of the chain-gang theory, ' but it may be the way out for us. Manu- : fracture of various implements and ar . ticles used by the state could be tried. . Our highway and park departments re- : quire things that are not too difficult to z be made in prison shops. We must con- : sider these ideas seriously for the day is near at hand when we may have within . our midst jail outbreaks, insurrections, : etc.

ish language became popular substitute. Eventually all three of these languages were recognized as valuable. Recently the board of education in one of the larger cities approved the addition of Italian. It is to be taught in one high school and will be extended to others as there is demand for it.
 One of the reasons given is the fact that there are in that city 75,000 resi- dents of Italian origin. Another is the richness of Italian literature. It is also true that Italy is playing an important part in world affairs and that many Americans travel in Italy and will enjoy their stay more if they can speak and read Italian.
 Whatever the reasons, the addition of fourth modern language to public school opportunities is interesting and valuable. It has long been held up as cause for reproach that educated foreigners usually knew three or more languages, while most of our people have known only their own. It looks now as if we were becoming "language-c conscious"

Mutual Aid To Go?

Some weeks ago the Democrat spoke in . favor of the dissolution of the Mutual Aid in Waterbury. Three days hadn't passed ' when we regretted such a premature : statement. It was evident even in that ' short interval that the plan to remove all { names from city or private relief lists Z and put them on the CWA roster was fine ssas far as it went. However, it didn't go < far enough. Waterbury filled its various : CWA quotas, yet still found the Mutual : Aid indispensable in insuring the unem- Z ployed people of the city with the necessi- y ties of life.
 : There have been various comments of
 !. late weeks about the size of the balance !. maintained by the Mutual Aid. In one : respect this is indicative of very selfish 2 spirit upon the part of the employed men : and women of Waterbury. It is by their :. donations every week that this balance ' has mounted to such sizeable proportions. < It has been through their efforts entirely ' that our relief officials have been able to l. maintain their splendid organization and : provide work for men and women whose source of maintenance has been cut off : by the depression.
 ' The plan is now to discontinue the : Mutual Aid after February 1. We don't : know whether this means the organiza- 7 tion, too, or simply the weekly contribu- : tions. We hope it is just the latter, for
 {. we need in this city, as does every large : city with many social problems, clear : ing house through which the various re- : lief organizations may operate. Nothing : could be more suited to the purpose in
 : Waterbury than the Mutual Aid. As to
 : the need of continuing the weekly contri-
 = buttons that may be established later in
 : the spring. The large balance now main-
 . tained will last, under present figures, . over two months. Perhaps by that time
 7 there won't be the demands there are to-
 {. day. If there are the voluntary contribu- 7 lions can be resumed. We hope they won't : be necessary. We hope everybody will be {. employed by that time.

Jim's triple-role is no choosing of his own. He has long wanted to withdraw. from the state chairmanship, has no longer any particular desire to continue as national chairman. His great ambition is to make a record as head of the postal service; to take this traditionally in-the- red department and put 1t on 8 paying basis. Last year he cut its deficit two-thirds, believes he can wipe it out entirely this year.
 But getting rid of his political jobs is not a simple matter. The moment he steps out there will be a furious scramble by ambi- tious aspirants. Factionalism will rear its head. And this in an election year Is risky business.
 However, Jim is definitely preparing to narrow his field of activity. Only the express request of the president will keep him from doing so.
