The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-24

Plans for the rally, the last to be held of major proportions in Waterbury, were made at meet ing of the Young Mems Republi- can club at headquarters last night. Principal speakers in addition to MT Alcorn will be William Mulli- gan. state deputy of the Knights of Columbus and Attorney Frank Healey, former attorney-general who made the nomination speech for MT Alcorn at the state con- vention in Hartford.
 Other prominent republicans as we'll as candidates for state offices will be heard at the rally here. Judge McGrath and Thomas Bane. officers of the Alcorn for Governor club, attacked rumors said to be spreading around that MT Alcorn is narrow in his beliefs. They said MT Alcorn, once he is known, is one of the most liberal of men.
 Others who spoke last night were Floyd Rasmussen and Attorney George J. Crochiccia, candidate for state senators and Walter D. Make peace, candidate for judge of pro- bate. MT Rasmussen declared his intention to work for the enactment Of an old age pension law and un- employment insurance legislation.
 MT Crochiccia said he will op- pose the indiscriminate spending and waste of public funds and will work for equalization of the tax burden if he is elected. Attorney Makepeace declared that although he would not attack the present in- cumbent, Judge Dennis J. Slavin, he felt his own qualifications were as good as those of the man in off, flee. He said it is time for a change and unless the republicans have a complete ticket with a candidate for each office. the party cannot hope to win.

 day tomorrow, Thursday. Mir
 Bulger in his address said:
 Hello folks:
 This is John Bu1ger speaking better known as a banker than a radio speaker and never known as merchant.
 On thinking of this Waterbury Day event scheduled for Thursday of this week the other night after coming home from the bank a long series of argu- ments in favor of the project, solely as a community enterprise forced themselves upon me .. and the more thought of it, the more convinced I became that thing of this sort ought to be supported <. morally and financially.
 Many persons are inclined to point with pride to their independ- ence politically, financially. spiritually <. and otherwise. They may say what they have. they got because of their industry perseverance or integrity.
 But let us stop and think !. . if there were no factories in Wa terbury, there would be no employ naent and no pay envelopes. If there were no stores, Bank street and Leavenworth street and South Main street would still be wagon roads . there would be no clerks in stores and no pay envelopes for the many, many hundreds now employed in stores. If there. were no banks, there would be no place to deposit money no checking accounts no money to loan no money put into circulation.
 If there were no utilities in Wa terbury, there would be no tele- phone service .. no telegrams no electric lights or gas lights . no bus or trolley service no trains for thousands of passengers and thousands of tons of freight coming in and going out.
 In fact, there would be no Wa terbury without these things. You and you .. and I would not be here. We might be. living in sod houses and milking goats.
 Then let him beware of talking independence {. every single per- son residing in Waterbury and the great area to the east .. the west and the north and south for many miles is dependent or some one, or group, for whatever measure of success or peace or comfort he or she has attained. Even the farmer with his milk or garden produce could not live one half as well as he does today with out someone to sell his milk, fruit and vegetables to without the telephone or electricity or automo- bile or radio all of which have been contributed through the ef- forts of someone else's brain or brawn.
 Therefore since independ- ence is not what it is cracked up to be. let us consider depend ence .. or cooperation.
 This Big Waterbury Day, Thurs day, as I see it, is an opportunity for thousands and thousands to help themselves to price conces- sions but looking at it in the larger sense of cooperation {.

Stars of 'Cimarr0n'
Play in 'Stingaree'

donna role with full, beautiful ex-
ploitation Of her beautiful singing

Against the background Of Australia
as it was in the hectic seventies, the
story Of "Stingaree" deals with an
unusually spectacular love between q
lovable, dashing bandit and Hilda
Bouverie, who works as q servant in
the home Of rich relatives, the Clark
sons.
"Stingaree" discovers the girls vo-
cal genius when he enters the Clark
son home to rob 1t. He falls in love
with her, kidnaps her and becomes
her sponsor for an operate career.
Significant is the manner in which
the productions theme songs, "stin-
garee Ballad" and Tonight You're
Nine" written by Frank Harling, are
woven into the plot. Equally intrigu-
ing are the reels in which Hilda
speeds to triumphs in Italy, Berlin,
Paris and London, affording glimpses
OF notables Of the period, including
Edward, Prince Of Wales and Disraeli,
who become worshipers at Hilda's
shrine. A glimpse Is also had of Co.
vent Garden, world-famous London
opera house, where Miss Dunno is
heard singing bits of famous opera
tic scores.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, January
27.-Labor organizations are profltlng
in Utah, as far as membership is con-
cerned. At an Executive Committee
meeting Of the Utah State Federation
of Labor this week, M. I. Thompson,
president, said 70 local unions have been
organized during the past few months
and that many workers joined unions
already in existence.
Until the last few years. Utah never
has been strong union State. But,
with the present leadership OF labor
organizations in the State, and gen.
eral strengthening of the quality OF
membership, many persons have been
attracted to the unions who formerly
would not join. The advantage of COL
lective bargaining had an especial ap-
peal.
Restoration of the Is per cent pay
cut taken by Federal employees the go
hour week for workers and test in
court of Utah's old anti-picketing law
were also approved by the Executive
Committee of the State federation. The
committee has come out in favor OF
changing the adjusted compensation
laws of Utah to provide that part-tlme
employees who may be injured will be
properly provided for.
Jurisdiction over Federal lands by
the Federal Government would receive
the hearty approval of live stock men
generally throughout Utah, but many
others think the plan would not work
we'll The difference of opinion seems
to center on whether the control goes
below the surface Now, if man takes
a homestead in Utah he acquires only
the surface rights and oil or mineral
found at some future date might ruin
his farm and take the place from him.

VETERANS PLIGHT
BEFORE CONGRESS
Legislation Concerning Dis
abIed Men Conspicuous in
Deliberations.

Legislation concerning the disabled
World War veterans is now occupying
a conspicuous part of the deliberations
of both Senate and House committees.
The subcommittee of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, handling the
Independent Offices appropriation bill,
last week took up the question OF
whether there should be amendments to
the bill to lberaliZe existing regula-
tions for the disabled. Next Tuesday
the Veterans Committee Of the House
will open hearings and one of the bills
that will receive particular attention is
the bill, H. r. 7217, just introduced by
Representative John E. Rankin OF Mis-
sissippi. chairman Of the Veterans
Committee. and which covers the legis-
lative program adopted by the Disabled
American Veterans in national con-
vention at Cincinnati last June.
The D. A. v. is limiting itself ex-
the benefits to the service-connected
cases destroyed by the act Of last
March.
Government clerks in Washington
constitute probably the largest group
of Federal employees in any city who
will benefit through certain provisions
President week before last. Until these
orders arrived persons making more
than $50 per month, in the Government
service could not receive more than S.
per month pension, unless their disability
was directly the result of combat with
the enemy. Under the revised regu-
lations, the exemption is raised to
$1,000 per pear for single men and
S2,500 for married men. Several
Washingtonians would benefit through
the provision for which the D. A. v.
campaigned from Immediately after
the passage Of the economy bill on
March 20.
Another provision of the recent reg
ulation that will be helpful to a certain
number of Government employees Is the
one that permits an official to partici-
pate in the decisions on veterans claims
in the Veterans Administration by
waving his rights to certain benefits
himself. Previously, no man who was
eligible for benefits as disabled vet
eran could handle these claims.
Mrs. Frieda Mooney of Los Angeles,
Auxiliary Of the D. A. ". will arrive in
Washington the latter part Of this
week for several days She has been
making a tour of the country and visit

pieces executed at his own concerts or
