Fears Loss of Civilization

Democracy must learn how to
throw such work into process with
minimum of delay" he said. Con
stitutional, legal and other retard-
ing influences must be gotten out
of the way. We engineers shall
never get on top Of this job if we
truckle either to politicians, to law
yers, or to the 81 varieties of pri-
vate interests who frequently profit
by the seeming inability of public
agents to execute tasks in work
manlike fashion.
Unless we can cope quickly and
competently with soil erosion and
its related water problems, our most
priced national possession will grad
ually lose their significance-our
political institutions, our struggle
for justice and equality Of oppor-
tunity, even liberty itself. AS
the average yield of our soil goes
down the morale of the people also
will ebb. And ours will follow the
history of scores of civilizations that
have risen and f1ourished and dis
appeared"

THE Railroad Retirement Act,
Il first social security legislation
TO be passed under the New Deal,
was stricken down by the Supreme
Court as exceeding the constItu-
tional authority of Congress.
The court affirmed a decision Of
the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia which held the act
unconstitutional The legislation
provided for a system Of Old-age
pensions for all railroad workers.
Il was another five-tO-fOur
ruling by the high court. but this
time marked by the detection OF
Justice owen J. Roberts from the
ranks of the liberals who last
February saved the Administration
from having its gold program de-
Clared illegal. The decision,
read by Justice Roberts. con-
demned many provisions of the law
as arbitrary" as placing an undue
burden on the railroads and as
having nothing to do with safety
and efficiency of their operation.
The court so riddled the law that II
appeared enactment of a new
measure would be practically i'm
possible. Chief J Il I e
Charles Evans Hughes wrote bit
ter dissent in which Justices Louis
ID. Brandeis. Harlan F. Stone and

of Justice Roberts from the liberal

blow to New Deal policies still due

Local Man Seeking Office At Fiftieth
 Annual Convention
All Labor Groups in State Represented at Danbmy Session "Opens Today-Three COrnered Battle for
 Presidency Anticipated Is Retiring

Waterbury labor leaders left the city early today for Danbury, where the 60th annual meeting of the Connecticut Federation of Labor will open with representatives of labor groups present from every section of the state. The local group included James F. Corrigan of the Central Trades Union. Thomas Quinn, James P. Donahue, president of the Connecticut Paint CTS Union, and others.
 Mir. Donahue is one of the lead Ing candidates for the presidency of the organization. It is expected that three cornered battle for the office will be waged between the local man, Thomas J. Shea of Mid- dletown, head of the. Theatrical Stage Hands Union; and George Moffatt of Stamford, a representa- tive of the Painters Union. Spokes- men for labor groups here today also expressed the opinion that John J. Egan, for many years sec retary and legislative representa- tive of the state organization. would be opposed for reelection.
 Dang Retiring CD
 Nicholas Dang of New London, retiring president, will urge the adoption of several new policies for the coming year. Salient features of MT. Danz's proposals are: a ban on political office holding, elective or appointive, by federation offi- cers; a change from craft to in- dustrial unionism; and the forma- tion of Connecticut Labor party.
 The latter proposal met with op- position at recent session in New London and was tabled pend- ing further study by a specially ap- pointed committee.
 According to MT. Dang, party politics has impeded progress of the labor movement in Connecticut. Several members of the executive committee are now holding public office.
 The retiring president will rec ommend "the spread of industrial unionism so that large industries may be taken into membership as a unit" He claims that only about 6O,O00 of the states 100000 workers are organized. This sit uation, he declares is caused by "craft unionism," organized by crafts in each industry.
 About 14O locals will be repre- sented at the convention. The total membership in the state organiza- tion is 303.

 MT. Harris said no further project transfers had been made today. He pointed out that more than 500 per- sons still remained to be taken from the EZRA list, and that less than 150 were actually working on WPA projects.

 In regard to the near completion of the Job, MT. Harris remarked that this must have been known last week.

 Under the state election law the treasurer of the town c0mmittee has the right to make the financial report.
