THREE EDITORS
BEFORE JUDGE

Angelton, Tex, Aug. 2.-UP).-
Judge M. S. Munson who contends
newspapers are not privileged to
"try" murder cases before they
come to trial, otday had three
editors and three reporters before
him On charges of contempt of
court.
The charges resulted from stories
published in Brazoria county in
connection with the murder trial OF
Clyde Thompson, who killed folks
to see them kick" Judge Munson,
who encountered difficulty in OBJ
tanning a jury because members
of the panel had read of the case,
objected to publication of progress
of the trial because two code
PENDANTS face trials and he feared
additional difficulty in getting a
jury.
Those cited are the editor and
reporters respectively of the Chron-
icle, Post and Press OF Houston.

Moscow, Aug. 2.-(UP)-Aao or
der to communists throughout the
world to cooperate with liberal
parties for the struggle against
fascism was dispatched to-day by
the Congress of the Communist
Internationale. Correctly observed,
the orders might mean world union
of all liberal groups in struggle
to prevent the spread of fascism.
But diplomatic observers of the
congress were very skeptical of the
sincerity of their resolution. They
suggested that the communist par

trance into democratic groups in
order to dominate them.

ENDING OF DOLE
MAY BE DELAYED
PAST NOVEMBER
Demand of Needy, With
Lack of Employment,
Has Changed Things

Washington, Aug. 2.-(UP)-
Administration hopes of ending the
dole by November / with its $4,-
600, 100000 work-relief program
grew dim today. The nations needy
have required allotment of $780,
100000 for food and clothing since
April 8, when the drive started.
Congress appropriated $3.50, 00O,-
paign for 100000 jobs becomes
effective. A $240,000,000 balance
remains. Present indications are,
officials said, that they will be
forced to continue the federal
emergency relief administration
until early in 1886.
Employment Short
The reason is that, so far, the
employment program has advanced
only enough for Works Progress
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins to
make drastic relief cuts this month
in 10 Of the 4S states. He gave
FERA funds for the first Is days
Of August to Arkansas, California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Louisiana, Maine, Montana, New
Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
Texas and Washington. Officials
said, however, that direct relief
cannot be definitely ended in those
states within two weeks. Relief
rolls have declined steadily since
April. Costs have decreased from
$40, 100000 a month last winter
to the $95,0o0,000 President Roose-
welt gave FERA to meet August
needs.
Last Through November 4
The $240,000,000 left in the di.
rect relief fund will last, at the
present rate of expenditure,
through November. Then, pro-
gram officials will be forced to dip
into the $4,000, 100000 Job fund
unless all employable needy are at
work. Hopkins listed 100000 jobs
created by the new program two
weeks ago. His works progress
administration has not yet started
Issuing its bi-monthly or monthly
employment announcements. OFF,
Gals estimated unofficially, how
ever, that from 100000 to 500, 900
persons are working under the $4,-
600, 100000 fund. Most of the pro-
jects transferring needy from the
dole to payrolls are those carried
out through governmental agen-
cies.

LEGION POST IS
UNDER CHARGES

Boston, Aug. a. (UP) - AL
though no basis for criticism of the
Perkins Post 81 of the American
Legion was found by a committee
of past commanders at hearing
last night, committee has ordered
further investigation of conditions.
The hearing resulted fro m
charges by the Rev Patrick j..
Waters, pastor of st. Brigits
Roman Catholic church, that the
legion post was a rendezvous for
drunkards. Rev. Waters was not
present at the investigation, al
though invited, but sent a letter in
which he repeated his charges.
1.-THE headquarters of IN g
Michael Perkins post is decidedly
a nuisance" his letter said, adding
that conditions had become no bet
ter since he first made his charges.
At the four-hour public hearing
last night, believed to be without
precedent in legion history, wit
nesses declared that although
drunken men were about the street
near the headquarters, they were
not members of the post.

the law. He must either continue
to subject his customers to this
hypocritical hocus-pocus and drive
them away from his place, or he
must be relieved by ruling OF the
liquor commission which will en-
able him to put his bar into serv-
ice by fastening stools in front OF
1t SO that 1t becomes a lunch coun-
ter.
"The law, If enforced, will mere-
ly drive the best men in the retail
LIQUOR trade out of business leav-
ing the less conscientious men to
make the profits. Eventually the
commission will be compelled to
proceed against scores of violators,
or else they will have to wink at
the violations in the same way
that enforcement authorities in
wet sections winked at the prohi-
bitton law. We repealed prohibition
to get rid Of such a situation.

tradition which has interfered with
the approach to social democratic
parties" Another resolution de-
manded building of united
'front.' of anti-fascism and criti-
ticized the failure of the party in
the past to effect union for the
fight. A third resolution was
that the International must con-
slider the peculiarities of each
country and avoid interference
with local communist party poll
tics. Communist parties must be
aided in struggles with other par
ties, it was resolved; must aid
communist parties to use their
own and other countries expert
ence to fight fascism; must estab-
blish closer contact between par
ties and the internationale, and
work among bourgeoise youth or
CARNATIONS to obtain opposition to
fascism.
The resolutions were important
as marking break with old policy
of aloofness from socialists and
liberals, and an apparent willing
ness to unite in a struggle against
fascisna and reiitarism.

Drinking at bars in bona fide
restaurants should be permitted by
The state liquor control commits
sion in conformity with a decision
handed down by the Pennsylvania
superior court in which the defin-
ition of imbibing in such places
is specifically defined, Lewis Lau-
ria, executive secretary of the Fifth
Dfstrict Liquor Dealers association
said to-day. Action to allow drink
ing from stool In front of bars
should be taken by the state COM
mission, Mr.. LAURA declared, In
order to put an end to nuisance
imposed by the general assembly
when 1t passed the 1895 amend
ments to the Connecticut liqour
law.
Court Ruling Urged
Mr.. LAURA further intimated
that IL the control commission
does not give an Interpretation Of
the law allowing drinking from
stools in front of bars a superior
court ruling will be sought. He
based his challenge on a decision
of Judge John ]. McDevitt of the
Pennsylvania superior court In an
action which Mr.. LAURA said he
brought in December, 1894, as Sec
rotary of the National Retail Liquor
Dealers association. The court
ruled that bars, so-called, could be
exempted from the statutory pro-
hibition provided stools were fast
ened tot he floor in front of the
bars and food could be pur-
chased over the bars, thus making
the bars, in fact, lunch bars or
counters.
ITO protect restaurant owners
who are anxious to obey the law
from the competition Of less scru-
pulous proprietors, 1t is the duty
of the commission to issue a regu-
lation similar to the ruling of the
Pennsylvania superior court"
LAURA declared in prepared
statement, which continued as fol-
lows:
Not Lawless Disregard
II am issuing this challenge, not
in Q spirit of lawless disregard OF
the general assembly, but in the
belief that the prohibition against
serving liquor at any bar Is an
Indictment to general disregard for
the liquor laws.
For about 10 days the law has
been given trial. A number OF
highly reputable permittees in
waterbury and other parts Of Con-
nectfcut are endeavoring to main
tain the standing of their restaur-
ants by insisting that all customers
sit at tables. Business men stepping
out for a glass Of beer are re-
ouired to sit at a table until wait
er approaches for their order.
while perhaps two bartenders stand
idle waiting for the word to draw
the glass of beer. It's a nuisance,
it's ridiculous, and 1t has no rela-
ton to public order and decency.
Same Experience Here
"The experience of Pennsylvania
retailers is now being borne out
in Waterbury. Reputable restaur-
ant men are discovering that from
IS to SO per cent of the business
they are entitled to Is leaving them
out of self-defence. Consumers,
who are the real liquor taxpayers,
have stopped bothering with the
nonsense. They are patronizing
those places where the law is be-
ing ignored and they can buy at
bars.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-08-02

A new angle relative to the al
legged chiseling done at the Water
town Undergarment company de-
veloped this morning when the
striking employees admitted that
they had paid for the jobs that
they held at the factory before be-
ing placed on the payroll. The
amounts paid for the positions
averaged between 5 and 40 dollars
and were turned over in weekly
amounts to floorlady. Whether
the act was instigated by company
officials or If it was a private
racket on the part of the floorlady
could not be ascertained. Philip
Lipschitz and Harry Berkowitz,
partners in the ownership of the
undergarment firm and Manager
Murray Silverrnan were not in the
city to-day and statement from
them is now awaited.

the jobs that they held and this
fact became generally known to-
day. Strike leaders were not in
possession of this information until
it was admitted by the pickets. One
girl named Carmela Forino was
said to have paid $40. for her posi-
ton.

the activities of plant officials and

ton of the money.
One floorlady gained some prom-
inence in past activities OF the
strikers after she had made sew
eral approaches to the pickets at
their homes and in phone calls
asking them to return to work.
Since no one responded she dis
continued her practice and 1t was
rumored among the strikers today
that she was not whole hearted in
her efforts.
The situation on Mill street was
unchanged this morning and no
further attempts to influence the
leaders were reported.
