COL. WILLIAM J. sHANAHAN

He Is credited with having man
euvered G. w. A, managerial af-
fairs, principally registration and
EN- ployment, in such a coy man
ner as to deal the democratic party
at city hall out of any considera-
ton. And the sad part of it is
the great majority has come to re-
gard the CWA employment plan as
Mr. Casey and Mr. Casey as Mr. c.
w. A., himself.
This fact does not set too well
with dyed-in-the-wool democrats
who feel embarrassed in this dem
ocratic metropolis when they have
to humble themselves by placing
themselves at Mr. Casey's mercy II
they want C.W.A. work.
Has Many Democratic Friends
All democrats, however, who
have been forced by circumstances
to cow-tow to Mr. Casey are not
complaining. There are hundreds
Of them in Senator Lawlors dis
trict who have learned that Mr.
Casey was not "hard-boiled," ruth
less and unsympathetic because he
satisfied their needs with haste and
often at more or less inconveni-
ence. And the strange part of
this, many democrats in the 10th
district, say when they hear of Mr.
Casey's candidacy for the senate Is
that they don't see how they could
vote against such good fellow as
George" who befriended them SO
graciously in their hour of need.
Needless to say, quoth fourth and
fifth ward republicans, among
these surprised democrats are
some very important pivot workers
in the old democratic senatorial
stronghold.
It is very evident, those in the
know say, that Mr. Casey has mad 9

for the senate against Mr. Lawlor
two years ago, will now be in a

Scene Of the threatening blaze
was scant quarter mile from the
mill site where started the Great
Fall River fire of few years ago
that caused millions of dollars
damage in the mill and business
districts.
Fear, born of recollections of
that conflagration caused fire Off
cials to sound q general alarm and
then call outside aid from COM
munities in both Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island soon after to-
days fire was discovered. The lash
of the gale quickly placed the res
idential district on Bedford street
in danger and some panicky resi-
dents fed their homes as wind
borne embers fired roofs.
Aid came from Providence, New
port, Warren, Bristol and East
Providence, r. l., and from New
Bedford and Brockton. Even the
Boston fire department, some SO
miles away, was requested to be
ready to send aid If needed.
The fire started from unestab-
lished cause apparently on the Sec
ond floor in the north end of the
DulldlnS ana quickly muSurooHicu
through the mill. Dense clouds of
smoke which soon overhung the
area attracted thousands of specta-
tors, who pressed fire lines and
kept police busy maintaining or
der.
| Although the mill, known as the
Merchants Manufacturing company
mill, was last occupied about two
years ago, a wooden storehouse in
the rear, form srly used for the
storage Of cotton, was being used
| by SEVERAL concerns for storing mis-
cellaneous goods.
Wind blown embers fired three
dwellings, on Coville street, a half
mile away.
Fire-fighters suffered acutely
from frost-bite as they worked in
ice-coated slickers on icy ladders.
They were hampered not alone
by cold and gale but also by the
fact that the Fall River depart
ment Is at present regarded as
under manned, due to the recent
retirement of a dozen firemen.

REV CHARLES {.
COUCHLIN SPOKE
AGAIN SUNDAY
Pa ssage Of Gold Bill.
Removes One ObstruC-
ton to Prosperity

Detroit, Jan. ,29--(UP)-One OF
the distractions delaying return to
prosperity was removed by passage
of the Administrations gold BILL
Rev Father Charles E.. Coughlin
said in his Sunday address.
He referred to the bills passage
as freedom from financial tyranny
and persecution, likening 1t to the
battle for freedom which was
fought in the American Revolution.
The priest said that the gold bill
will permit restoration and main
tenance of 1925 price levels. He ao-
yocated revisions in the banking
system to secure credits. re-estap-
| iishment of the peoples buying
power and a cultivation OF the
Asiatic market to increase export
trade.
"Out Of every storm, out OF
persecution and tyranny" Father
Coughlin said. there springs a
new born liberty.
"My friends, we are the survivors
from a financial storm or perse.
cution that has exhausted itself.
Yesterday was its doomsday.
""The bill Matchmaking our gold
and legallzing its revaluation TO
meet the needs Of our citizens mas
finally passed. Now and not
until now it is possible to restore
the 1925 price levels and to Keep
| them there"
Credits during the days Of pros.
perity were established on mythical
money by banks re-loaning lno1-
vidual deposits over ana over
again. When the banks recalled the
loans and they could not be met,
factories. homes, railroads and
farms passed into the hands OF
bankers and a panic followed.
Father Coughlin praised the
| CWA programs as a means Of re-
establishing buying power and ad.
vocated the re-establishment OF
markets for manufacturers, farm
ers and for export trade.
"Credit control by q group OF
private individuals must cease II
there is to be such a thing as IL
nancial independence" he said.
The peoples purchasing power,
he explained, is SO definitely linked
to selling power that one cannot
exist without the other.
Markets." he added, "are abb
solutely required for the support of
purchasing power. Now we have
arrived at the point where our
local markets cannot consume the
lproducts of either farm or factory.
Our exports to Europe barely rep
resent five per cent of our total
output. Our exports to Asia are
negligible because the Asiatic has
no gold with which to do business.
'Tf our selling power is to be
rebuilt no one can offer q valid
argument--no one except the gold
banker-why silver is not remon-
etized in some form SO that the
Oriental may become q potential
purchaser" ,
