O'Nein Confident Of Name BeingOn Voting Machine
Candidate for Congress on Union Party Ticket COn-
 fers With State

Confidence that his name would be placed on the vot- ing machines as Union party candidate for congressman from the fifth congressional district was expressed today by Terrence James O'Neill, of Oxford, opponent of Fred erick Puckey of this city in the Union party battle.
 MT. O,Neill told The Democrat today that he conferred yesterday at Hartford with representatives of the secretary of state, and that he was informed that names will not be officially placed on the ballot un- til the 18th. He has until the 10th, he says, to take action in superior court.
 Seeks Writ
 A writ of mandamus will be sought in superior court by MT. O'Neill. He will seek to have the court order the secretary of state to place his name on the voting ma- chine as the official candidate for the union party to oppose Congress man J. Joseph Smith and J. War ren Upson for the congressional post.
 My stand today" said MT. O'Neill, "is the same as it has been from the very beginning. was the first to secure petition from the town clerk and automatically that makes me the only eligible for the union party label for congressman on the voting machine"
 MT. O'Neill declined to state when he would begin court proceedings.
 MT. O'Neill denied today the claim of MT. Puckey that the latter has the endorsement of the National Union for Social Justice. Most of those attending the mee ng to which MT. Puckey refers, he said, were his (O'Neills) supporters, and no vote was ever taken on endorse ment at the session.
 MT. O'Neill scoffed at MT. Puckey's contention that he was nominated by the Union party, He was nomi- nated," said MT. Ol.eill, mot by the Union party but by group of dele gates of the National Union for Social Justice. The delegates were named, not to nominate candidate for congressman, but to attend the Cleveland convention. Furthermore the NUSJ is not supposed to be in politics, and it seems strange that MT. Puckey should be named by a non-political organization"

Damages Estimated al $l,0OO Caused; Fam-
 flies Escape Safely

Six companies of firemen were called out at 9::3O o'clock this morning to battle a blaze which destroyed the entire rear of a two-family building at 49 South Leonard street. Fire Marshal Dennis Lahey made an early estimate that damage had exceeded $1,000.
 The occupants of the house es- capped safely, after the blaze, which apparently started in the kitchen of the first floor, had spread rapid- ly. Mir. and Mrs. Vincent Spiotti and their family occupy the first floor; the second floor tenants are Mrs. Della Salcito. and family.
 Chief Thomas J. Lynch directed the firemen at the scene. Several lines of hose were laid. Bremen had to scale the roof of the building to save the entire structure from being destroyed.
 The flames climbed up the rear of the house with great speed and the building was blazing furiously when the fire-fighters arrived.
 The police detail at the scene was directed by Captain William Dug gan of the motor patrol and Ser- geant Edward Ashton.

Red Cross Leaders
 Planning Conference
Annual Session to Be Held in New Haven October
 Dr.. AngeIl of Yale Principal Speaker

Washington, D. O., Oct. 3-Prom> inent states and national Red Gross leaders will attend Connecticut ans nual Red Cross conference to be held this year at the New Haven Lawn Club, New Haven, on October IS, it was announced here today.
 Representatives from all Connec@ ticut chapters are expected to att tend the conference which climaxes one of the busiest Red Cross years in the states history.
 Among the nationally known Red Cross and educational leaders who will attend the meeting are pr. James R. Angel, president of Yale University, Miss Mabel T. Board- man, national director of volunteer service, MT. Douglas Griesemer, na- tionaf director of public informal tion and roll call, and MT. Walter Davidson, assistant manager of the Eastern Area American Red Cross.
 The conference will take its key- note from this years Red Cross roll call slogan-The Peoples Red Cross. This theme will be the sub- ject of an address by MT. Griese- mer. MT. Edward K. Roberts, who was director of Red Cross relief in Hartford during the flood of last spring, in which over $500 families were given assistance, will describe the relief work during the morning session.

The Wagner Labor Act and the corresponding Railway Labor Act will present labor's problems to the tribunal which already has con- demned MIRA, AAA, the first Rair- way Labor Act, and the Guffey Coal Control Act.
 The question of neutrality is posed in an attack on the indict- ment of airplane manufacturers who were charged with violating the presidents embargo on arms shipments to participants in the Chaco war.
 Later in the term, the Utility Holding Company Act probably will come before the tribunal.
 Lumber Company Brings Test
 An attempt to have the Wagner act declared invalid is being made by the Bradley Lumber company of Arkansas which sued in the lower federal courts to restrain officers of the National Labor Relations Board in proceedings designed to force the company to take back 200 dis missed workers.
 Because of the technical ques- tions involved it was doubtful that . direct ruling on the act would be obtained in the Bradley suit. If such a ruling is not made it was believed that an appeal in some other pending case will reach the court soon.
 The Railway Labor Act is chal- lenged by the Virginian Railway company which is disputing the NLRB right to hold an election anon gifts men. It also challenges the result of an election previous ly held whereby the majority of workers were found by NLRB to have chosen the system federation No. 40 to represent them in collec- tive bargaining.
 Appeal From New York
 In the neutrality test, the fed-' erol district court in New York held tflt congress improperly delegated power to the president to embargo arms shipments. The government contends that this ruling endangers the neutrality resolution of the last session of congress which gave the president unprecedented power to keep the United States out of war.
 Early in the term, the court will hear argument in the Duke power case which challenges the right of the PWA to make loans and grants to. municipalities for the establish ment of municipal power plants. Appeals of the Texas Utilities com- pany and the Alabama Power conn., pany have raised the same question and 35 similar suits are pending in the lower courts.
 IVA May Face New Test
 Observers believe that a fresh attack on IVA, upheld as far as Wilson Dam is concerned in a de- cision last spring, will be made this winter.
 New York state will make an early attempt to have the court reconsider its decision condemning as unconstitutional legislation fixing a minimum wage for women and children. It will also be asked to reconsider its invalidation of the Municipal Bankruptcy Act.
 Three cases involving the validity of the Frazier-Lemke farm mort gage act, sponsored by the union party which is headed by Rep. William Lemke (r) N. D., have been brought to the court. The tribunal will probably announce on Oct. 12 whether it will entertain the ap- peals.
