MILES CONNOLLY DIED TO-DAY AT
 AGE OF EIGHTY
One of Real ''OId Guards" in Political and Fra-
 ternal Circles

One of the real "Old Guards" in Waterbury's history of politics and fraternities, passed away to- day after a lingering illness.
 The Knights of Columbus of the city will sense a deep personal loss in the death of Myles r. Connolly, 80, who died early this morning at his residence, Al Cooke street. Mir Connolly was the first deputy grand knight of Sheridan Council, which will observe the Golden Jubilee anniversary of it's founda- tion next May. It was one of MT Connolly's most cherished hopes that he be spared to commemorate the birthday of society he as- sisted in organizing. He main- tained an active, enthusiastic mem- bership in the council, and took a keen delight in his distinction as the council.
 tinction as the only living charter
 The Elks of Waterbury will also view the passing of MT Connolly as another of its "Old Time" mem bers, who has responded to the call of the Supreme Exalted Ruler Of the Universe.
 Democrats Pay Tribute
 Members of the democratic party will give testimony of the many years of active, loyal service the de- ceased gave to his party. He held no office of unusual importance, was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of high sheriff ot New Haven county several tyears ago, but always followed the lead ership of his party with rare loyalty.
 Today Chairman John H. Crary of the local democratic town com mittee, paid tribute to him today as an outstanding citizen. an ener- getic worker, and one who was held in the highest esteem by countless friends.

was endorsed today by the Labor
Research Association, in the fol-
lowing statement:
THE campaign of Leo Gallagher
for the Office of Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court should be sup
ported by every factory, Office and
farm worker in the State. No one
else in the State or in any other
State has done more as a fighter
in the courts on behalf of the ex-
plotted He is. in fact, an interna-
tional juridical figure, for he dared
to oppose the Hitler murder regime
when it was lot stronger than
it is today. His candidacy should
be backed actively by everyone who
has the slightest interest in fighting
reaction and oppression. If all those
who belong to the class that he
has long defended so unselfishly,
should cast their ballots for him
and get them counted-he would be
elected by an overwhelming ma
jority.

clared that despite the Vigilantes,
who prepared to break up the anti

the states of Colorado, Iowa and
Nebraska, the conference was sue
cessfully held. with over 300 dele
gates present. While the Vigil
antes took possession of the park
in which the conference was origin
ally scheduled to be held, stopping
all autos and taking down license
numbers, We were calmly meeting
on nearby farm. We in the Mid
west have not been inundated by
these actions, not even by the ter
ror which has been going on against
us. Not even after the VigilanteS

ganizer of the Unemployment

Heat Makes
Death Trap
of PoorhOuse
DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 26-Cook
County's Poor House at Oak Forest
was turned into a deathtrap dur
ing the hot wave. Twenty-Five
inmates of the institution have died
there in the last two days. Weak
ened by months of bad food and
forced labor, herded in crowded
dormitories, the elderly impover-
ished men and women died like
flies in the blazing heat.
Oak Forest is admitted to hold
1,4O0 more people than it can
handle. Wholesale graft and cor
ruption have robbed the unem-
ployed who we're forced to go over
the HILL" of even the meagre
rations the Poor House appropria-
ton would have covered.
Charges that residents Of the
Poor House were forced to work
in the sun during the hottest spell
Chicago has ever seen, though de-
MED by Oak Forest officials, were
widespread throughout the city.
Early editions of the capitalist
papers carried dozens of cases of
workers, wracked and worn by
speed-up in terrible sweatshops, in
steel mills and stockyards, dying on
the job.
However, in a frantic effort to
cover the significance of this fact,
the capitalist press is playing up
long sob stories about the cattle
dying in the stockyards because the
naughty stock handlers went out on
strike.
