 which she tried to present to Louis as Q gift from heaven brought to her by . large dog, kept to her one room cabin, afraid to cross the threshold. Parish authorities had promised to protect her from her husbands kinsmen, but the Craw' lords are one of the most numerous and most upright and God.fearing femilies of the forest and Fife feared "thar's no stoppin' them Crawfords." /
 The Crawsords talked of tar and feathers and of running Fife out of the. forests where the CrawfofdS have lived for several generations, but were deterred from open or precipitate action. One of their kinsmen, Clarence. Crawford, Q cousin of Louis, is . deputy sheriff, an office that gives him great pres- tige, and he was .busily pointing out to them the virtues of law and or. der.
 Find Truth Bitter
 The Crawfords and the scrub pine community generally were finding It's disillusionmen bitter. Deeply religious, they had ct first believed unquestioningly Effie's story that Tuesday night at dusk, large dog trotted out of the woods, carrying an infant in its mouth. And when Effie confessed that the baby was her own, born behind the wood shed" Sunday night, many were inclined to believe she had invent cd the story to get the baby back from the authorities who had taken 1t to c hospital to give 1t a chance to survive. Yesterday, when the parish coroner examined Fife and found that she had given birth within the past five days, and she told the parish attorney that her husbands brother, Frank, was the father, the Crawfords hung their heads "shamed," and their neigh bors could hardly credit their ears.
 Clan Council
 After the authorities had return ed to Covington. the parish seat, and night had fallen and the Craw- lords could venture forth with the dark to hide their shame, blinking lanterns winked through the for- ests and converged on the cabin of Louis mother. They were carried by his seven brothers and his Uncle Fletcher, all proceeding individual ly from their cabins for the clan council.
 What took place in the cabin was . family secret, but Frank estab- lislled definitely his innocence. He Is a widower. he lives with his mother, he and Fife have never been on friendly terms, and the Crawfords felt she named him as the father "jest to spite him." Frank had maintained his innocence from the start. The family also estab- lished to its own satisfaction-it had positive proof that the hus- band, Louis, couldn't have been the father--who the father actually was "a married man of the iieighbor. hood. Retribution was promised for him.

 Cribbage
 Real competition is being offered among the entrants of the cribbage league which is played at the com munity house. The schedule of matches for this week is: J. Joyce vs Desmaris, Blake vs E. Joyce, Kelly vs Donovan, 1heehan vs Campbell, Mccormack vs Lally, and FTageau vs Tehan.
 Holy Name Bowling
 Several attempts to organize the St. Francis Xavier Holy Name so- ciety bowling league into e real contest have failed due to the In. ability to secure the bowlers who took part last year. Most ot last years bowlers are on night shifts in the factories, and this naturally eliminates them from bowling dur ing the evening.
 Decision was made last night to return to the custom of bowling on Sunday afternoons, as was the case in the league last year. All players and captains are requested to be present at the parish alleys Sunday afternoon at o'clock to consider final arrangements of teams and schedules.
 The committee which arranges the bingo parties at the church each Thursday night has announced that the usual party will be held next week, but due to the following Thursday being Thanksgiving, the party will be held on Friday night of that week. ,. .,., 7. .-

 Wan and tired after more than c month of ceaseless efforts to bring conciliation of the western shipping dispute, McGrady said he had met with the unions after ship. owners had turned down Q union offer to negotiate if granted control of the hiring halls.
 The unions demand control of the halls. The shipowners refuse to negotiate on this basis, claiming such e system would deny them the right of choosing the employees that shall work their ships. whether the unions and operators will ac- cept Mcdrady's proposal for federal -or neutral--control of the halls was impossible to predict.
 Mcorady sought to include an acceptable plan for penalties against unions who violate provi- sions of future agreements.

Major Berry Tries
 Peace M Labor Fight
tContinued from Page D

to apply the principle of arbitration
 T suggest appointment of 8 com. inittee of equal numbers from each side in the controversy with an ar. bitter who would be empowered t< vote on e settlement. The majority decision of this group would bt accepted in advance by agreement of both sides. I believe the dispute could be settled in i've minutes un. der proper conditions.
 This course, 1t seems to me would be in harmony with the pol. icy pursued by the American Federation of Labor since its organ- ization. Labor has insisted upon this principle of arbitration in It's dealings with employers. Why not in it's own afYairs?"
 It was reported that Lewis would view an arbitration move favorably.
 An Amazing Tangle
 The Berry suggestion was tossed into one of the most amazing tangles ever developed in the ranks of American labor an internal war that threatened to split the ranks of workers permanently by cutting off some 100000 members inn the 0. I. o. unions from the 3,000,0 Federation members.
 The 0. I. Q. has been suspended by the Federation executive council on charges of dual unionism and the convention, meeting Monday, will decide whether that action shall merely be confirmed or whether as cfhft leaders demand, the rebelt unions shall be expelled.
 Present Developments
 Developments that had occurred as the federation council met today for convention routine sessions included:
 IA warning from 0. I. O. leaders that Lewis was prepared to press his campaign for one big union in each industry - as contracted to the present craft union policy - with the geratest vigor and with the intention of no-quarter warfare Il the expulsion order b carried through. Federation leaders were advised privately that Lewis would not take expulsion sitting down.
 2--Drastic action by the Metal Trades Department, instructing itl president, John P. Frey, to iiltro- duce resolution in the convention calling for revocation of the char ters of the rebel unions and ap- proval of a resolution for 6 boycott of the union labels of the ten in- surgent unions. The department also voted boycott action against the Typographical Union and the Hatters' Union until the leaders oi those two groups, Charles Howard and Max zaritsky, cease their "de. structive operations in favor oi c. l. o. and to the dertiment of the craft organizations"
 3--Eiection of Howard, unanim- ously, to the third vice-presidency of the Union Label Trades Depart ment. He was put in nomination by Berry.

1t looked as if the attack failed be. cause of nationalist preparation fol 1t.
 By LESTER. ZITFREN Copyright, 1038, by United Press)
 Madrid, Nov. UP)--Nation- alists opened a terror bombardment of Madrid today, hoping to force the city to its knees Airplanc bomb and artillery shell crashed into the heart of the city to which the Moor ish and foreign legion shock troops had failed to make their way. Ar- tillery shelled the city all night long, and at 8:45 a. m. three black three motored nationalist planes dropped at least 25 heavy bombs in various ci,. districts. Loyalist infantrymen poured across the Manzanare river in the early hours of the morning, to attack the i1ationalists in their own territory on new offensive.
 Shells As City Slept
 As they did, the nationalist artil- lery opened up with 6 inch guns and soon shell explosions were reverber- ating throughout the sleeping city. It was believed here that the shells, which exploded at measured inter- vals about the city, were intended to terrorise the population.
 One shell hit the foreign office in the center of the city but did not explode. Another crashed near the Puerta del Sol, the city's heart, not far from the International Banking corporation headquarters. It crushed Q house. Other shells screamed over tf:o house of parliament, to land in the streets.
 Explosions Frightful
 The airplane bomb explosions were frightful and were felt through out the city. Buildings were shaken by the concussion.
 The bombers flew low, taking their time and apparently were un- escorted by fighting. planes. They picked their targets at their ease, dropped their bombs and disap- pr -red southward in the morning mist. No loyalist planes appeared.

(Continued from Page D month. This figure is almost 1000 higher than that for October, 1929. and s within but 13 of the city's post-war employment total record of 36,643, set In June of 1920.
 More People at Work
 One interesting sidelight on local employment Is that there are actu- ally more people regularly employed here than in 1929 or in any other year since the war, for the Cham Der of Commerce tabulations do not include WPA and other federal workers. There are approximately $40 persons holding WPA jobs In the city, and there are enough other federal job-holders to swell this fig- ure to over 1000. This, added to the Chambers total of 36,S30, means that more than 36,600 people are now at work In the city. Private industry B continuing to absorb WpA workers, and B still taking many others from the ranks of the unemployed.
 PayrolIs Climb Steadily
 The citys payroll total has been climbing steadily since 1882. The most notable advances have been made this year. The most definite upswing started in March and April of this year and hes continued since that time At 6 steady pace. In. stead of the usual summer lull there was even 6 spurt in employment during July and August. Gains continued in September, with more than 1000 more persons getting work, and an additional 1000 got jobs in private industry in October.
 New Record Here
 Since the first of this month. there have been more than enough placements in private industry to send the city's employment figures to Q new record for normal times. Even exclusive of WPA and other government workers, 1t is safe to es- timate that approximately 36OOC persons are now steadily employed here.
 With the pre- Christmas rush get. ting underway, c considerable spurt both in part-time and full-time efIi- ployment B expected. Business leaders in the city are confident that conditions will continue favor able until ct least next spring.

LOCAL LAWYERS
 MAKE PROTEST

will bring 6 reduction in automo- bile insurance rates for this city, which are admittedly higher than those of other cities in the state.
 If the squad can reduce acci- dents enough 50 that insurance rates for autos in Waterbury can be decreased by even one dollar for everyone, then 1t will be more than paying its own way" the superin- tendent said.
 The squad ended It's schooling early this week and went into ac- ton at once. Since Monday, there have been no less than 17 arrests in this city by the squad for motor vehicle law violations, ranging from failure to grant the right of way to drunken driving. In addition, other members of the force have made several arrests for motor vehicle law infractions. :.
 None of the 17 persons arrested by the accident squad. which is headed by Sergt. Joseph McEyoy and Sergts Charles McWeeney, has yet been tried in court, but police have gathered all possible evidence against them. A good part of the i7 will be tried at Mondays session of trafiic court.
 In Employ of Companies
 A lawyer who was questioned but who asked that his name be with. held said that his principal objec. ton to the accident squad was that 1t had been trained and organized by men who he said are in the em- plCy of insurance companies. He was referring to Lieut.. Franklin M. Kreml and two other of1icers who served as instructors at the accident squad school here.
 The protests are not likely to lead to any action, since police can point to the fact that the new accident investigation system is more efii- cient and more complete than the one previously in use, in which the nearest policeman to the scene inc vestigated a rnishap regardless of whether or not he had ever had any training in the investigation of accidents.

Art KFageAu's Forty-niners slip- ped into unccntested first place in tho Eagbenders' "4S" tournament, by virtue of their 22-20 win last night over Joe Crimes team leav- ing the latter alone in the cellar position, which he occupied jointly with John Fitzmaurice last week. Other victories were recorded by tho Kenny guad over the orifilns, 2l-10: and in Q playoff, John Fitz- maurice and his troupe took the Jack Joyce combine 22.21.
 Resentment toward John Fitz- maurice by his fellow Earbenders was evident last night and the cause was his statement that the reason he is not in the van of the Earbenders' tourney is the fact he uses his second string team. The revelation has been made that Fitz- maurice has recruited several of the Earbenders and is using them to keep him in first position in the Holy Name tourney.
