Hundreds Of Visitors
 At Settlers Village
Workmen Make Spacious Picnic Grounds Available
 for Gatherings Dedication of Irish House Planned

Spacious picnic grounds were made available today by an army of workmen at settlers Village in Chase park. Brush was removed from a large area and numerous picnic tables erected. It is now possible for large groups to spend the entire day at Waterbury's ex- position, which is part of Con- necticut's tercentenary.,
 The patronage over the week end was exceptionally good, many of the visitors coming from, vari- ous parts of the state. Up to this time nine states have had repre- sentatives among the visitors to the unique settlement. Some of these tourists have possessed intimate knowledge of the village having read accounts of Waterbury's fea- ture attraction in their home newspaper. All expressed deep sat- isfaction with the exposition. It is quite likely that the fame of Set tiers Village will be carried to every corner of America by these tourists.
 Details are being worked out for the proposed dedication of the Irish house at Settlers Village next

Relief Officials to Confer on State WPA Program
LATE POLICEMAN
 LAUDED BY CHIEF
Supt. Mclean Praises Late Sergeant James Fitz-
 gerald-Returns Home

Returning to his desk today after spending last week at the annual convention of the International Association of Police Chiefs, Supt. Joseph H. Mclean today declared that the most striking note of the whole. gathering was the bitter at- tack made on the parole system. Several speakers, among them J.. Edgar Hoover, head of the depart ment of justice, declared that easy paroles were undoing much of the good work being done by police all over the country.
 Supt. Mclean said he agreed heartily with the speakers who at tackled the system whereby crimin- als get long sentences in court but are paroled after but a few years, or even months, in prison. Paroles, the superintendent said, are now being given too easily in many states.
 The superintendent expressed deep regret over the death of Sergt., James Fitzgerald, veteran of 29 years police service, who passed away last Tuesday, while Supt. Mclean was at Atlantic City.
 Sergeant Fitzgerald was a fine officer" the superintendent said, "and his death takes from the de- partment a man that we'll all miss. He was, a friend of us all, as well as an efficient and able policeman. I extend all my sympathy to the members of his family.

ARMED GUARDS
 AT BOULDER DAM

Boulder City, New, July 15- Heavily reinforced armed guards patrolled the only road leading to Boulder Dam today to forestaIl a reported intention by striking workmen to march on the project. Non-striking workmen of Six Com- panies, Inc, the dam construction company dynamited the only other available road yesterday to facili- tate guarding the property. Sheriff Keate. of Clark county arrived from Las Vegas, New, with armed depu- ties, prepared to cope with any outbreaks that might occur either here or at the dam.
 Workmen and construction oper- ators issued contradictory state ments as to the strength of strik- ing forces. Officials of Six Com panies asserted only 331 were on strike. Strike leaders contended dissatisfaction was general through out the construction camp, em- ploying 5000 workers. At present carpenters and metal workers are on strike. They protested against being forced to travel to and from work on their own time and to having time taken out for lunch hour. In the background is a long smouldering resentment of work men against Six Companies refus- al to consider wage increases.

UNION LEADERS
 GIVEN WARNING

Washington. July 15.-(UP).- President William Green of the American Federation of Labor cali- ed upon affiliated unions today to defend and protect" the Wagner labor disputes law against all op- position and all attacks" He warn- ed unions, however, to be "abso- lutely sure of their grounud" be- fore charging employers under the act. The act was described in a booklet distributed to union lead- CTS as 8 "new chapter in the his- tory of American labor" s
 Recognizing that employers sin- tend to contest the act, Green urged labor leaders to pay no at- tention to claims that the act was unconstitutional. Leading legal authorities of the nation are of the opinion that the act is constitu- tional in every respect" he said. The Wagner act guarantees labor's right to bargain collectively, sets up a new labor relations board to handle violation complaints and makes employer-attempt to inter- fere with employ sel-organization and unfair practice. The act will go into operation with the ap- pointment of the new labor board, expected within a week.

GOVT. IS AFTER
 LOTTERY RACKET

Washington. July 15.-(UP).- The rostoffice department today opened a drive against the foreign lottery racket by issuing fraud or- ders against approximately 450 residents of Canada, Cuba, Ber- muda, Mexico, France and Luxem- bourg..
 The new fraud order list com prised 10 closely typed pages of names and addresses. It was the longest ever issued by the depart ment in it's efforts to end the sale of lottery tickets, said to take un- told millions of dollars from this country annually. NG
 Fraud orders were issued against S96 firms and individuals in Can ada. About 40 named residents of Havana. The rest of the names were scattered in other countries. Officials said that peddlers of lot tery tickets recently have tried to circumvent the postal laws by sending in vouchers by express to an agent in this country, who in turn mails them to the ultimate purchasers. Postal inspectors. can not seize express packages, but they can copy the addresses from them, it was said, and go after the American agents of the sellers, thus ruining the business.

preside at the meeting. R. c. Ban nion, regional WPA director, and Miss Eleanor H. X Little, FERA head, will also be present.
 Reserve Fund
 While the situation locally is not regarded as serious because of the fact that MT. Harris has on hand a reserve fund accumu- lated for just such an emergency, many of the other cities in Con- necticut will be forced to suspend all relief work unless further EZRA appropriations are made or unless the new relief program is considerably speeded up.
 New Haven last week appealed directly to Washington for further aid in carrying out the EZRA pro- gram. Mayor John A. Murphy in- formed federal authorities that the New Haven allotment for July was insufficient for the city's needs for the remainder of the month.
 MT. Harris said to-day that there would probably be little difficulty in the incorporation of the old system into the WPA. He said it was simply matter of hastening the approval of WPA authorities for projects now in the process of execution as EZRA developments
 No New Projects
 '.As far as the situation is con- cerned here, I expect that approval of all local projects will be, given by August 5th," he said. No new projects are being considered in Waterbury. According to MT. Mar ris those now in operation will provide sufficient work for those on federal relief payrolls at least until October.
