Judge Tolles then ordered him also booked on charge of driving while under the influence of liquor and, despite the prisoners plea of not guilty, found him guilty on his own testimony. He told the prisoner the reason for bringing this count against him wis because he wished to take away his auto license in this state. Dun- igan had been found guilty of being i drunk before.

If the residents of South Main street should see group of men with scythes, shovels, picks, axes and sickles, tonight, they should not think is is the start of the Agrarian revolution here. It will merely be members of the Naugatuck Fish and Game association.
 A group of members will go at 6 o'clock to the clubs house near the New Haven road. There they will start to work posting warning signs to intruders who have detiled the land near the pood owned by the club. It is expected these signs will do away with this nuisance. If not police may be called upon. There will also be some work in clearing up land in that vicinity.

the distribution center on North Church street. Supt of Public Well fare N. Hadley Cox said today. No food was given out to those on the local relief list in this connection last week.
 In planning a distribution, Supt Cox is acting contrary to the usual custom here. Heretofore he has waited until there is more than one kind of food to be meted out, but this week only smoked pork will be given out. The reason for fthis is that pork has been in cold storage in New Haven and in or der to avoid it going bad, it will be brought here before Wednesday.
 There are six cases of it or about 630 pounds. No word has been re- ceived from the government as to any immediate shipments for Nau- gatuck. Supt Cox said. Of course some more will be received but just when is not definitely known.

COLORADO RIVER SITUATION
EXPLAINED

Statement by Gov. B. B. Moeur
The Colorado river controversy
is q matter 80 technically com
plicated that I doubt il a great
number of our citizens fully com.
prehend its significance.
l welcome the opportunity
offered by The Border Vidette to
clarity my action in batting con
str uction of the diversion dam at
Parker.
Dispatch OF q patrol from the
Arizona National Guard to the
river where workmen under su
pervision Of Metropolitan Water
District are engaged in drilling
for bedrock has been carefully
considered. After reviewing Ari
zona's position, I decided it pro
per that q careful watch should
be kept on the operations TO see
whether encroachments were
threatened or made.
Mere words have failed to con
vince California that Arizona is
in earnest. 1t is my hope that
the presence of the guardsmen
at the dsmsite will force Cal
ifornia to q showdown and that
Arizona will then have the op
portunity through the medium
Of the courts to prove our case
in less demonstrative manner.
California claims to be entitled
to particular / 900, 900 acre feet
of water given by the Santa Fe
compact to the lower basin, pro.
vided it can make legal use of it
first. while I contend that it was
given In lieu of the Gila river,
and is Gila river water and not
Colorado river water at all.
Testimony of members of the
commission who drew the com
pact will show that.
When the compact was drafted
at Santa Fe in 1922. Arizona re
fused to accept the terms unless
it were stipulated that Arizona
be allowed q million acre feet OF
water 10 addition to the Z. 500. 900
scre feet apportioned to TIL 8
lower basin. this amount to re
present the flow of the Gila river
which Arizona claimed was not
open to consideration at b g
gathering.
In spite of this previous agree.
ment, Mr.. Wilbur. then secretary
of the interior in the Hoover
cabinet, on his own authority
and 10 defiance of the compant,
boldly transferred the extra mil
lion acre feet from Arizona to his
own state of California.
This fight is for q million acre
feet Of water, but it is also more
than that. II we permit Calf
ornia to build the Parker diver
sion dam without regard to Ari
zona we will be powerless to
regain the lost rights. as prior
ity of right through usage might
be established.
We are trying to "earmark"
not less than 100000 acre feet
of the 1900, 900 acre feet of main
stream water for Arizona subject
to future use below the Boulder
Dam, but SO far we have not
succeeded because of the selfish
stand taken by California.
Governor Rolph promised to
name commission Immediately
after bis election to confer with
Arizona for an agreement. He
has failed to do so.
The Supreme Court has ruled
that Arizona is owner of the bed
and ba1k of one-half of the Colo
RADIO river. No one can take
that from US. No one is going to
obstruct that river to the detri
ment Of Arizona without hearing
from me.
The National Guard patrol will
continue until California comes
to her senses and consents to
fair play.

tionally recognized, the bill was
called the labor disputes act. The
bill, after extensive hearings and
study by the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor. has been re-
ported favorably to the Senate for
its action as a substitute bill and is
now called, because of the necessity
Of distinguishing this proposed leg
islation from the Department Of
Labor and the National Adjustment
Act dealing with railroad labor prob
lens. 'the National Industrial Ad-
justment Act" The general phi
losophy and most of the fundamental
purposes of the original Wagner bill
have been retained. AS stated, this
bill defines just what acts in our in
dustrial life are in conflict with the
rights that I believe all concede
should be enjoyed by employees. by
those who work and toll for wage
in our industrial lite.
Question Of Freedom.
You inquire, why is there need of
specifying acts that impair the rights
OF workers? Are not employers and
emp'oFrs' rights self-evident? But it
must be recognized that a declaration
or statute that merely asserts that
the press shall be free, that religion
shall be free, is not effective unless
and until those acts which deny
freedom to the press and deny re-
ligious freedom are defined, forbid
den and punished.
When, last year, the Congress
passed. at the suggestion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. as one of the i'm
portant objectives in his recov-
cry program, the National Indus
trial Recovery Act, certain rights, or
rather privileges, because these rigths
had been heretofore denied, were
granted to the owners and operators
in industry and commerce. They were
granted the right to organize and
engage In certain practices relating
to maagement and operation of their
businesses, relating to the prices
which they might charge the public
Evening star., 1934-06-06

With this background we can well
understand why practically all the
members Of this board, representing
employees and employers (most Of
the employers, however, being Of the
liberal SCHOOL, have requested
legislation. The original Wagner
labor disputes bill was the conse-
quence of these experiences.
Let us now analyze the bill as
revamped and which Is now before
the Senate and which is entitled a
bill ito create a national industrial
adjustment board" The bill is
greatly misunderstood and much
misrepresented.
The board created in the bill is
not going to be empowered to settle
all labor disputes. Indeed, we can
perhaps best understand the limited,
but important. provisions Of this bill
by rectting first what aspects of the
employers relationship with en-
ployes the bill does not deal with.
Nothing in this bill allows the
Federal Government, or any agency,
to Ak wages, to regulate rates of pay,
to limit hours of work, or to effect
or govern any working condition in
any establishment or place OF en-
ployment.
Nothing in this bill requires any
employe to join any form Of labor
organization.
Nothing in this bill requires the
employees in any industry to or
ganize.
Freedom Of Employees.
Nothing in this bill requires an
employer to compel his employees to
organize All employees are free to
choose to organize or not to organize,
to Join any or whatever labor or
ganization or union they choose. II
employees choose to organize a shop
committee or a union for a partic-
ular plant, or company. they may
do SO. If employees choose to form
a union affiliated with any national
or international organization they
may do so.
This statemet Is merely a reitera-
ton Of their constitutional rights.
There is nothing in this bill that
