CATHOLICS HEAR.
LABOR PLEA
" At FARLEY
Women's Council Delegate
Urges Fuller Study of Con-
ditionS in Industry

Women with capitalistic lean
ings were urged today to be sym.
pathetic toward labor in the pres
ent battles between capital and
labor, at the fourteenth annual
convention of the National Coun-
cial of Catholic Women at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Mrs. j. P. Mcbride, of Milwau-
kee, speaking at the convention,
told several hundred delegates
that they must not be so quick
to criticize labor" when labor
strikes against capital.
Urges Study Clubs
Addressing the convention on
the need for study clubs among
the Catholic women throughout
the country, Mrs. Mcbride stated
they must inform themselves thor
oughly on industrial conditions, so
they may more fully understand
the conditions giving rise to
strikes.
Mrs. Mcbride said further that
women are prone to criticize labor
for striking when there is no work
to be had. If, however, she said,
the women we're informed on the
principles for which labor was
striking, they might be slower to
find fault with the workers.
Youth MOvementUp

gram for the education of young
Catholics in the fields of scholar
ship, religion and recreation, to-

Ken Murray
Says:

The other day, it was revealed,
that since Mae West was threat
ened for testifying against the
crooks who stole her jewels, the
police have been watching her
movements. Funny thing. /
didn't know anything about
that, yet I've watching them for
years.
Due to the fact that her new
picture is just about to be re-
leased, we are not sure whether
this is the truth. or just an
other wild West story"
OF course, you can't blame
Mae for being afraid. Suppose
she had as much trouble getting
a release from kidnaperS, as the
"BelIe of the Nineties" had from
the cenSOrS?
So remember:
Beware of a perfect So. -.
She may be cOncealing a .38.

CROTTO OFFICIALS
VOICE GRATITUDE
Clark II. w. Newton Ex-
presses Appreciation OF
Order for Patronage

A performance for children at
1890 this morning, at matinee for
adults this afternoon and tonight's
regular show-these three perfor-
fances bring to a successful con-
clusfon the Grotto benefit circus
which has attracted thousands on
thousands of persons from Water
bury and others parts of the state
to the State Armory on Field street.
Appreciation of the remarkable
support given the benefit venture
was voiced today by Clark H. w.
Newton, monarch of Zindah Grot-
to, which sponsored the circus. He
expressed his thanks to the pub
lie, the press and to the cast and
organization of the circus itself.
So huge were crowds waiting for
admittance last night that the
committee ran two shows, one i'm.
mediately after the other in order
not to disappoint the throngs who
rocked to the Armory to see the
great, performance of which they
HAD been hearing all week.
Tor an entire week the circus
gavN the city carnival atmos-
phere, bringing with its perfor-
mances a public interest that has
seldom before been noted in Wa
terbury. Children from two to
eighty filled the large Enclosure Of
the Armory for every single per-
fornance Of the dazzling exhibit
ion.
So great has been the response,
said Mr. Newton, that he hopes the
circus will be an annual event in
tho city's activity program. Every
cent of the profits will be distrib-
uted to local charities.

demonstration against the actions
of congress concerning adjusted
service certificates and so forth
under the provisions of the econ
omy act.
Mr. McGrath declared that in his
opinion better results will be OBJ
tanned If every veteran in Connec-
ticut will join one of the major
ex-servicemen's organizations, such
as the American legion, the v. F.
W., the s. A. w. ", the D. A. ",
or the Veteran Voters league and
through them bring pressure to
bear upon the representatives of
the state in congress.
That the economy act is vicious
piece Of legislation and has left its
mark quite plainly on the veter-
ans, is admitted by District Com
mander McGrath. Those sponsor
ing the Rank and File convention
on May 10th point out in their cali
for veterans to join the march on
Washington that thousands of
sick and disabled veterans have
been thrown out Of hospitals, hun
dreds OF thousands have been de-
prived of their compensation or
allowances and hospital and domi-
ciliary care has been denied to
tens of thousands who need such
care.
Unity Is Aim
1t is the aim of the rank and file
committee to have the veterans
unite with the farmers, workers
and unemployed to force repeal of
the economy act and thus restore
matters to their previous status.
The headquarters f the organiza-
ton are in Washington.

Gentlemen:
The p. o. S. Of A. are vitality in
terested in the recent movement to
discontinue the closing of public
schools in celebration of Abraham
Lincoln's birthday, and believe
that such a procedure would be q
serious mistake.
Abraham Lincoln was one of our
most famous and loved personages
in American history. and has
earned the highest respect we can
pay. Are we to let the outstand-
ing ideals, patriotism, human UNI
Outstanding, and many Others
combined in his character, fade
from the memory of the coming
generation? This, we feel, will
tend to happen by your contem-
plated action.
Surely you will agree that we
have no finer example for our
youth of to-day and tomorrow to
look up to and follow, and will
recognize the necessity of keeping
before the eyes of our citizens and
office holders an ideal of Abraham
Lincoln's caliber.
We as patriotic order. appeal
to you, and sincerely urge that
this movement be dropped, and
that all possible be done to ever
keep the name Of one of our great
est leaders and history makers
fresh In the minds of American
school children.
A copy of this letter is being sent
to the Waterbury papers and to
Mayor Hayes, at the request of
many friends interested in correct
ing a situation that we feel re-
fleets on our principles of loyalty
and patriotism.
Respectfully yours,

and all that it stands for. You
referred to my work with the mu-
tual aid 1 cannot help but feel a
thrill when 1 think of the figure
$1,675,000 given by the citizens of
Waterbury for the relief of suf-
fering and to help those who other
wise would have been without
shelter, food and clothing.
81 wonder if we realize what a
privilege it is to serve in this UNI
selfish way in order that the Y.
M. C. A. may be able to serve the
youth of our city who are out of
employment. We hear lot of rea-
sons for the cause of the depres-
sion. The real reason is because of
the selfishness and greed in the
hearts of men. The big danger in
life is that we forget the real worth
while things, the big thing that
counts in any mans life is that
which he is able to do for others.
"Where can we find anything
that is more worthwhile than the
work of the Y. M. G. A. today.
What a gap the Y. NJ. c. A. has
filled in the life of Waterbury and
in the lives of the thousands of
idle youth. The need for the Y.
M. C. A. still exists. 1t is import
ant that our citizens join together
in extending the scope of its influ-
ence.
No Dillingers Here
"How many Dillingers and other
youthful criminals has the Y. M.
c. A. saved Waterbury from dur
ing these four years? How many
young men in Central and North
End and Brooklyn Y. M. c. A.
Branches have been helped from
lives of crime during this depres-
sion?
II am proud of Waterbury. I
am proud of the Y. M. G. A. 1 am
proud of the citizens who support
our Mutual Aid and our Y. M. G
A. The Mutual Aid has possibly
taken money from the Y. M. c. A.
and other agencies. hope that
the necessity for the Mutual Aid
will soon be over. The Importance
of the work of the Y. M. c. A. to-
day calls for the support of every
good citizen. God bless you In
your undertaking"
