workers. Similar action has been
taken by Councils in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vana, New Jersey and other states,
following the request made by the
National Urban League on behalf of
| the proposed amendment.
l.. B. Granger, Secretary of the
Workers Bureau of the National
Urban League, isued a statement this
week condemning the i~nadequacy of
the Wagner Bill from the standpoint
of those workers most in need of
protection.
"The Bill" said Granger, "gives
the greatest protection to that part
Of labor least in need Of it. 1t ig-
nores completely the undemocratic
policies which organized labor has
additionally pursued with respect to
Negro workers and often with re
spect to Jewish or radical or for
eign-born workers. In other words,
it protects the right of labor to or
ganize, but does nothiag to protect
the right of minority groups to enter
organized labor bodies. No union
which brazenly bars workers from
membership because of race or po-
litical and religious beliefs has any
right to seek special protection from
the Government in it's attempts to
organize.
Further, as Congressman Mar
cantonio has pointed out, the Bill
gives no protection to agricultural
workers. Thus, the onion and beet
growers Of the Midwest, the farm
laborers Of Imperial Valley, Cali
fornia, the Tenant Farmers Union
Of Arkansas, the S-harecroppers
Unon Of Alabama, are left out in the
cold at the very time when bloody vio-
lence has shown conclusively that
they need protection desperately.
FINALLY, the National Labor Re
lations Board, which executes the
provisions of the Bill is placed in the
Department of Labor. With the ex-
ception of the present appointee. the
Secretary of Labor has always been
a political appointment, dominated
by old-time, reactionary A. F. of L..
policies of the lowest type. This
IS the sort of thing that the rank
and file workers are trying to get
away from, and the Wagner Bill
simply fastens it more tightly around
labor's neck than ever before. Labor
will wait long and vainly if it ex-
poets much real benefit to come from
the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill as
at present framed, unless it be a
benefit to the inside clique and its
hirelings who now control the ma
chnery Of the American Federation
Of Labor"

Labor Defense, which on June Is
opened a special drive for a sum-
mer milk fund for the children Of
political prisoners.
The children of the political
prisoners suffer because of the
persecution of their parents. Al
most all of these families have
been desperately poor. Now,
with the family's bread-winner
behind the bars, the lot of these
children has become a monoto-
nous grind Of restitution and
want. Only the Prisoners Relief
Department Of the /. i. d. comes
to the aid Of these children. This
summer, a special drive is being
made to keep them supplied with
milk.
In almost every state in the
union, are men and women SEN
fenced to Jail for the "crime" Of
standing up for their rights, Of
asking for more wages, better
conditions, equality for the Negro
people. To these prisoners the
Prisoners Relief Department
sends books, newspapers, letters,
tobacco, and a small sun Of
money for prison comforts. The
families of the prisoners receive
a money order to help keep body
and soul together.
The Scottsboro boys were mere
children when they wer first
framed up to die in the electric
chair. But in spite Of their
youth, they were out in search Of
jobs, for without their small
earnings the families could not
make ends meet. Almost every
one Of these boys left behind him
younger brothers and sisters. Roy
and Andy Wright, for example,
left a small sister, Lucille, in
Chattanooga. The mothers Of all
the S%cottsboro boys have been
desperately hard put to provide
for their families.
In the heart of the Alabama
Black Belt, are 10 small children
who, young as they are, are fore
ed to drag a cotton sack through
the fields beside their mothers.
The fathers Of these children are
serving sentences Of five to fifteen
years in various Alabama prisons.
Their "crime'' was defending a
neighbor from an attack by a
sheriff's posse, sent to murder
him after he had refused to sur
render his only mule to the land
lord.
On the chain-gang in Alabama,
are Fred Walker and Pete Tur-
ney, two Negro workers, caught
IN the general raids when police
spread d dfdgnet Tor all militant
people in the terror ridden city
of Birmingham. Walker left one
child, and Turney two, when they
were shackled in chains on the
Alabama roads.
Sea tered over the country are
many other children, Negro and
white, whose fathers were Jailed
because they stood up for their
rights, or were thrown into pris-
on on the ancient, lying charge
Of "rape." For these children. as
for all the $50 children Of political
prisoners in the United States,
the Prisoners Relief Department
OF the International Labor De-
tense Is striving to make life a
little easier and a little pleasanter.
Funds for the summer milk
campaign should be sent to the
Prisoners Relief Department, IN
ternational Labor Defense, sol

Considerable/ interest especially in German circles has been mani- Tested in the forthcoming musical revue to be presented by the thes- plans of St Ceciiia's parish. The event will be the first public of fering of its kind that has been offered by the cast. This particu- lar one will take place at the Wa terbury WomeD's club auditorium on Thursday evening, May End.
 In addition to a program of songs the entertainers will offer something novel in drill formations that should be an attraction and fili the large hall to capacity. Rev Peter Cuny, pastor of the parish, Is very well pleased with the prep srations to date and he himself has taken an active interest with the workers. Tickets are selling rap- idly and the committee has an- nounced that if necessary they will procure additional seats for an overfiowinG audience. It is he- lieved at this time that standing room will be restricted only to those who purchase tickets at the door.

When the Intercollegiate club of Waterbury holds it's third annual charity ball at Hamilton park pa- vilion on Easter Monday, the 22nd, there will be brought to-, gether again two outstanding local Catholic organizations one the branch of the Diocesan Bureau of club and the other the Waterbury Social Service. Though the Di- ocesan bureau has nothing to do with managing or conducting the ball, 1t will, as in the past, receive the proceeds from the annual charity event.
 Both organizations - one com paratively young, the other estab-. lished-exemplify the spirit of Catholic Action; both are endeavof- ing to follow as colsely as possible their admitted aims. The one, composed of college graduates and undergraduates, brings together Catholic youth from all parts of the city, regardless of college affil- iation; the other fills a tremendous need in the community by giving real service to the many who need it.
 Organized in 1920
 The Waterbury office of the Di- oeesan bureau was established 15 years ago, in 1920, when it was

obvious that in this city there was need for social and socialized serv- ice. Under the benign approval of Bishop Milan, the local branch started it's successful work. Since then, year by year, it has grown in importance and in value, and has filled completely what would be otherwise a gap in the city's social scheme.
 During these past few years of depression, the bureau has had to increase rather than decrease it's schedule and it's operations. Cases grew in number and the bureaus expenses, in Waterbury and else- where in the state, mounted by leaps and bounds. But with the support of the Catholic laity, the bureau has been able to continue its programs without hesitation.
 Funds Needed
 The Diocesan bureaus work ex- tends into many fields. It cares for families, and for children: 1t cares for material and for spirit ual needs; its service is so exten- sive that at times it's scope can hardly be realized. Its service has always been marked by a lack of machine-like cold-bloodedness that has been characteristic of other organizations of it's kind. But well fare work, both human and hu-

COnnecticuts Quota Increased By 200 for New Total of 8O8-NO Official Instructions Received By
 Local Authorities to Accept Recruits

because of the congressional dead- lock on the relief bill.
 The state quota, as announced totals about 200 more than that of the previous term, but the increase is by no means large enough to accommodate all of the local ap- plicants. Only 65 Waterbury boys were accepted for service during the last enrollment. The present total of nearly 300 is by far the largest number of candidates for enlistment from this district since the organization of the CCC.
 It is believed probable that four or five new camps will be establish- ed in Connecticut following recom- mendations by the relief commis- sion. Tentative sites have been sec lected by the state forestry de- pertinent and await federal apr proval. In the event that approval Is granted local quotas will be substantially increased.
