Between four and five hundred republicans from Waterbury and other parts of the state attended the annual outing of the local Young Republican club at Charles DeBisschop's farm on East Moun- tain yesterday. A bathing beauty contest was the feature of the days program, first prize being captured by Miss Tillie Grey of Grand street. Second prize went to Mary Abrams and third place was taken by Doro- thy Keenan. Miss Grey received Q silver trophy and was ofiicially named Miss Waterbury. Misses Abrams and Keenan received bath ing suits as prizes.
 The outing got underway at 3 o'clock with Q ball game between the married and single men. Babe sharon, state interscholastic cham pion and former Crosby high school expert, gave an exhibition of swim ming and diving. Quoit games were also enjoyed.

CCC .ENROLLEES IN
 VARIETY PROGRAM
Stage Excellent Bill When Visiting Guests Fail
 to Appear

Waterbury youths at Camp White, Winsted, are looking forward to another variety program. which have marked Thursday evening en- tertalnments arranged for eco en. roIiees. Visitors last week enjoyed one of the most pleasing bills Of the year. Incidentally the attend ance, including e number of Wa terburians, marked the largest of tho series.
 Lieutenant John Morrissey, first lieutenant director Of the camp's publicity pens the following account of the big evening:
 The tenth weekly entertainment program which was held last Thurs day night at the Captain Thomas amphitheater in Camp White proved most unusual success and drew the largest crowd in attendance so far this season. Things looked e bit gloomy for the entertainment bill early in the evening, when the reg lilar professional program scheduled to appear was unable to make it's appearance, but the boys of the camp came forward to rally with special amateur show all their own and in their own ininitable style. Loud plaudits rent the crisp evening air during the entire length of the show. tolling in no uncertain terms how Enthusiastically "big" did the guests accept the bits of song, dance and clowning. Much appreciation was expressed for the melodies played by MT. Tussillo's perfect rhythm makers, who cooper ated with Camp White amateurs grandiosely.
 Following is resume of the pro- gram as rendered.: Joseph Doe" Savage knight-errant whom he nor- plussed by neither audience nor earthquake, opened the bill with e vocal rendition of "Take Me Out To the Ball Game" Next brought forth amid shouts of applause and promptings was the langy Otto Schultz who sang for us all the popular sIt's Q Sin to Tell Q Lie."
 In the words of Q listening eFl- roliee, (taken verbatim) ''Oh, wot bee-Ootiful singlngl" Plump genial forester Mr. Sullivan, master of ceremonies, then led the crowds and bystanders in q bit Of community singing, joined by all. Clarence BTis- son next crooned for us in real Bing Crosby style that mOuFnful tune "T0rmented." Meanwhile Afr. Taslllois rhythm makers inter- speraed the events with aeveral harmonious renditions of popular dance muslc.

the workers have time fully to or- ganize.
 Many think that this is exactly what the steel owners plan to do feeling that not only would the mills win strike at this time, but that if 1t came before the election 1t would have Q disastrous effect on the election chances of Rooge- welt.
 I put the whole situation up to Philip Murray, the scotch.born, ex-coal miner, who came to this country when he was l6 years old. soft-spoken and mild in his radicalism, this field unionization drive, and first vice-president of the United Mine Workers, had this to say: We don't want a strike now or at any time. But the men are fed.up. They've ale ways been underpaid, and up to few years ago many of them worked twelve hours Q day and seven days Q week.

 A New Steel Dictator?
 Coal dominates steel. Steel dom- inates America. John L. Lewis is the coal dictator. Will he become the steel dictator7
 He will if he can bring the 5OO,000 steel and iron workers into c single industrial union. Its formal stage name is the AfnalagaInated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers-but in many ways it's Q phoney. As q distinct compromise and sop to President William Greens 4. F. of L. craft unionisnn, John L. Lewis and his C.I.O.-com- mittee for industrial organization agreed to let this oldest union in America get the credit for this lat. est and most determined effort to assault the steel citadel and organ- ize all the workers in the greatest mass production industry in Amer. ica. But 1t is another case of the tail wagging the dog. The driving power, the will to win, the money and the organization, come from John Lewis and his somewhat left- wing industrial unioniSts.
 Lewis hes assumed the leader- ship of this group of 1,20O, ,000 workers. This means almost 4,- GOO, ,0OO voters. If he can organize the 600,0O0 steel workers-and the 600,00O still unorganized workers in steel fabrication plants --that vii lgive him three times this 100000, or 100000 more voters. (It is usually figured that each working man controls in one way or another three votes). That ell adds up to Q grand total of some 100000 votes, more or less in the hands of John L. Lewis. And at the democratic national

You see. when these over.smart steel bosses forc- ed their company unions down the mems threats they thought they could always handle them to suit themselves. But they can't. Right here in [ he Illinois Carnc- gle plant at Homestead several of the company unions own elected representatives are bitter against the company.union, and are ready to throw their men into this in. dependent industrial steel union. If the workers will only listen to their leaders and not get sucked into an unauthorized strike the whole industry will flop over in no time. And it's sure time it did. 7. For 50 years the men have been intimidated, brow-beaten and kick- ed around. It's their turn now.

convention at Philadelphia Lewis stood up on the platform and pledged all that he had to Frank lin D. Roosevelt.
 That's Q swift and general pie ture of the immediate political significance of what is going on in labor unionization. And this at-. tempt to swing steel workers into an industrial union is only the first attack on the whole "open shop" or non-linion industrial set- up of America.
 The first conflicts in this great industrial--and claSs--war will be fought out here in the Pittsburg regions: in the steel districts stretching along eastern Ohio to Detroit; in the Chicago country at Gary; and in the deep south around Birmingham, Alabama. The general staffs of the two armies are the Iron and Steel The stitute and the committee for in- dustrial organization.
 Owners Fear Union Control
 Here in Pittsburg I went to one of the most prominent steel owners of America for his side of the war. He asked me not to use his name because all offlcial action was in the hands of the c. H. e., the Iron and Steel Institute. Here is what he said:
 we are not going to have our industry run by outsiders--by coal miners and pant makers tre- ferring to John Lewis and Sydney Hiliman). Just ct the moment when we are starting to make money again, after six years of depression, we get this threat from the outside. Why right now we are employing 16,00o more men in the industry than in 1929. That is due to our 40-hour week
