ALL SUBSTITUTE POST OFFICE MEN WERE LAID OFF
They Were Informed Toe day There Would Be No
 Work Until July First

Local substitute postal employees notified to-day by Charles H. Platt, of mails, that in line with the recent economy order from Washington they would be given no more employment till July at least. planned to make strong protests to Postmaster General Far ley, Connecticut's representatives in congress and Gen Hugh John- son of the MIRA.
 The workers themselves estimat- ed that the local order means that almost 40 men, employed more or less regularly as substitute carriers, clerks and laborers, will be with out job after today.
 Waterbury's protests will x be joined with hundreds of others from all over the country against the economy order of March 3. The National Association of Sub stitute Postal Employees has al- ready asked for repeal of the or- der, both through itself and it's state and local organizations. John J. Griffin, local substitute, is sec- ond vice. president of the national organization.
 The local order came as a sur prise as it was expected that not more than 0 small number of clerks would be affected here. And in their case, 1t was believed that only their working hours would be shortened.
 There are at present four va cancies in the clerical force and two in the carrier force that have not been filled, and which would give regular employment to that humber of present substitutes. Eff forts of Postmaster James T. Kelley to gain permission to fill these va cancies have thus far been unsuc- cessful.

FRANCIS HOGAN OF TORRINCTON FOR CONGRESS
Being Boomed for Place on Ticket-Will Run Against GOss

Representative Francis w. Hogan of Torrington, a deputy commis- sioner in the state department of motor vehicles, Is being prominent ly mentioned in the fifth congress sional district for the nomination of congressman on the democratic ticket. Judge Martin F.. Gormley of Naugatuck, who made a very startling run two years ago, losing the district by only 78 votes, has not yet announced his candidacy for the nomination once more. Therefore, the boom behind Repre- sentative Hogan, while receiving favorable comment on all sides. is not being brought too much to the front for the present out of defer- ence to the Naugatuck man.
 The fifth congressional district convention is only a few months off and, therefore, things are ex- pected to shape up soon. Should the nomination go to Representa- tive Hogan it will be giving an honor to Litchfield that it has not very often enjoyed in the district. The wishes of the New Haven county end of the district have generally predominated at the conventions.

DOZEN BANK ACT

Controller 0'Connor in An

Are Cumbersome.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
More than a dozen changes in the
1888 banking act are recommended
in the annual report Of Controller Of
the Currency j. F. T. O'Connor. The
report c>vers the period which
OConnor said, seriously threatened
complete collapse of the banking sys-

TIT control 9r proposes changes in
the Important law of last June, which
directer national banks to divorce
themselves from investment af6liates
as an aftermath of exposures of in
terlocking practices before the Sem
ate Banking Committee.
This legislation as whole is
sound" O'Connor said, land contains
many much-needed provisions of law
but. like most major legislation, ap-
plication by administrative officers re-
veals certain features which, in prac-
tice. work in a cumbersome manner
or bring about situations which its
trainers did not intend.

with highly technical details Of the
law. But five drew immediate at
tention:
Permission for the controller to per-
NIT State banks joining the national
system to carry non-conforming as
sets acceptable because Of their in
trinsic value"
A legislative decision on whether
enforcement Of investment afflliateS
applies to mortgage corporations max

chattel mortgage securities.
Changes in present law which may
prevent corporations to terminate old
age benefit contributions ito the pos
sible injury and ultimate detriment
of then employees.
A return to old requirements on
amounts of stock which must be held
in bank to qualify directors.
Permission for a national bank to
buy or sell corporate stocks for the
account of one of its customers.
Before turning to legislative matters,
O'Connor reviewed bank holiday de-
velopmentS and pointed out that re-
turns on the October Is bank call
showed 5,815 licensed national banks
and 445 unlicensed national banks, of
which 335Nhad approved the organiza-
ton plan.
Major Solution Seen.
while the approval of a plan of
reorganization does not complete the
work involved in these cases." O'Con-
nor said, II feel that the major prob
lem Of the unlicensed banks from a
reorganization standpoint has been
largely solved.
There is another phase of banking
which is now having the active atten-
tiOn Of the controllers offlce-the
strengthening Of the capital structure
of national banks by new capital
through the purchase by the Recon-
struCtion Finance Corporation Of pre-
ferred stock.

importance Of Education Activities
For Trade Union Members Is Stressed

duty Of every class conscious
worker.
This task cannot be performed,
unless the number of active, mill
tant and revolutionary workers is
large in every union. Workers who
are conscious of their task and
have a clear vision of their aim,
devoted, resourceful and willing to
sacrifice for the interest of the
working class.
Must Train Members
1t is the task of the revolution
airy unions, independent unions
and A. F. of L. opposition groups
to train and educate these forces.
To broaden the knowledge of their
membership and bring to them the
revolutionary experience of the
World Proletariat.
Even the revolutionary unions
cannot boast of their educational
activities. The education of the
membership is the last thing our
unions think about. The develop
ment and education of the active
and militant workers is neglected.
The value Of class education must
be recognized by the leaders of the
unions and definite steps must be
taken to carry into life the educa-
tional program of the Workers
School, T. U. U. L. and independent
unions.
This program calls for the estab-
lishment by the fall Of: Forums,

classes, special classes for each
union in the Workers School and
two full-time training schools Give
weeks duration each) for the train
ing of leaders.
Without the cooperation of each
union and class conscious member
OF the union, this program will not
be realized. 1t must receive the
support of every rank and file
member.
The Federal Emergency Relief
Administration, in collaboration
with A. F. of l.. leaders and Social
lists, are organizing classes for
workers, especially for trade union
members. The object of this bene-
VIOLENT care is to still further demon
alize and mislead the workers, i'm
plant the faith in capitalism and
create support among the workers
In the blessings of Roosevelt's
N. r. A.
At this time of bloody class
battles, when the capitalist class,
the government and the A. F. of L.
leadership use all power at their
disposal to defeat every struggle of
the workers; the unions have a
special task 10 increase their
strength and resourcefulness, to
have at their disposal the revolu-
tionary experience of the world pro-
letariat, the guidance of the teach
ings of Marx and Lenin.

Union in New York
To Study Trade Union
Strategy, History
And Tactics

The Alteration Plumbers, Steam
filters and Helpers Union opened
its first class in Trade Unionism
Thursday, July 10Th at 6 p. m. This
class will continue for six weeks.
The reason for this is to raise the
level OF the membership and the
members of other trade unions af-
f1l1ated with the Independent Build
ing Trades Council and workers 80
concerned.
The union calls upon all affiliated
organizations to imress upon their
membership the Importance of tax
ing q course or two in Trade Union
organization and tactics. Registra-
ton is taking place daily at the
Union Headquarters, the fee per
course is 81. Applicants are well
come.
To avoid mistakes in collabOra-
ton with misleaders of labor
workers should study the history of
American Trade Union Work and
the tactics used in betraying the
workers by our so-called leaders of
labor. A class of this kind will
assist new members to overcome
this difficulty. Applicants should
be registered for this term not later
than Thursday, July 26, $50 D. m,
so that they may not lose any part
of the class. The class starts 6
p. m. promptly every Thursday.
Applicants must be in time.

mediately begin the organization of
the floor boys.
We young workers realize that
without the cooperation of the en-
tire union we can never hope to
succeed in this task. Every Thurs
day we are holding a meeting for
floor boys and shipping clerks and
we urge every shop chairman, fur
rier and floor-boy to bring down as
many floor boys from his shop that
he can. Now as never before the
fighting ranks of the workers must
be strengthened and consolidated;
Negro and white, young and adult.
The organizations of the floor boys
and shipping clerks into fighting
ranks of the organized workers
must be begun not only by the Youth
Committee, but all the furriers and
the entire union. All floor boys
and shipping clerks come to the
meeting every Thursday. Towards
the organization of Floor-boys and
Shipping Clerks.
