Ells' Leader Urges
 War On Communism
Michael Shannon Welcomed to Connecticut By Mayor

hotel in Bridgeport last night. More than 800 Elks from Connecticut and other states were in attend ance.
 A broad militant campaign by Elks throughout the nation to strike at sources seeking to under mine an doverthrow the govern ment of the United States was urged by Grand Exalted Ruler Shannon. He cited a mass of revo- lutionary literature and other evil dence of Red activities to point out the danger of the Communists and made a ringing appeal for wholehearted support of the Elka campaign against subversive infiu- ences.
 Commenting upon the eight point legislation which the Elke have presented to Congress as means of combating Communism, the prominent speaker eloquently stressed the necessity for such a legislative program in the face of an ominous condition and express- ed pride at the quick cooperation of lodges of Elks in Connecticut in sending petitions to Washington.
 In answer to criticism charging that the program sought to curtail freedom of speech, Mir. Shannon painted a dark verbal picture of the menace of Communism to the structure of the government and the rights of men, women and chill dren as he outlined the avowed principles of the "Reds", some in a hidden manner and others with "brazen effrontery."
 Mayor Jasper McLevy welcomed the guests to the city.

|LABOR DISPUTES
 BILL INTRODUCED
Senator Wagner Says Measure Would Stabilize
 and Improve Business

Washington, Feb. 21--(UP)--A new labor disputes bill was intro"
 duced in Congress today by Sen.
 Robert F. Wagner. D., N. r., who said its enactment would "stabil" ize and improve business by laying the foundations for the amity and fair dealing"
 Wagner, who fought for sine liar bill at the last session of Con" gress. intends to insist upon deci" sive action this time.
 The measure does not have ad" ministration support.
 Wagner told the Senate the tem- | porary labor relations board set up
 last spring lis gradually but surely | losing it's effectiveness because of it's inability to enforce it's decis- ions." He proposed to make the
 board permanent, with unquestion" 1, able powers to settle labor dis l putes.
 His bill amplifes the collective
 bargaining guarantees of the Na- | tional Industrial Recovery Act. l Wagner said that "employes at- tempting in good faith to exercise their liberties under Section "A have met with repeated rebuffs." The new Wagner bill would set up a permanent national labor rela- tions board of three members to
 supervise the settlement of labor dispute.
 The bill declares the policy of the United States to be encouragement of "the practice of collective bar gaining and protection to "the ex- ercise by the worker of full free- dom of association, self organiza- ton and designation of representa-. tives of his own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of his employment" "Employes shall have the right to self-organization," the bill states, "to form, join or assist labor ore gafiizations, to bargain collectively through representative of their own choosing, and to engage in
 concerted activities, for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection"

Dunn's only shining armor is a polished shield and his galloping charger last night was a subway train damned with elbows and knees and unsmiling faces. A shab- billy dressed young woman teetered through the crowd. She wore smoked glasses and carried 8 shoe box from which she took cards of needles. These she hurriedly placed on laps and knees. The laps and knees kept still as if the needles pinned them down. The girl has, tened frantically to gather up the cards before the big Atlantic ave- nue stop.

 No inkling of Mellon's business holdings were revealed. The es- timate of his personal fortune did not include his holdings in the Coalesced company, Mellon fam fly holding company, or the value of his shares in the Gulf Refining company, the Aluminium company of America, the Pittsburgh Coal company, the Pennsylvanla rail. road, and the other corporations in which the Mellon family long has been considered either domi- nant or had large holdings.
 An unofficial biographer of Mel Ion estimated in 1882 that the Mel Ion family had combinedw fortunes totaling $2.500,00O.00O.
