A WARMING
T0MOf0RfSfS

A new ordinance was passed by
the Common Council recently
which will permit the police to
ticket illegally parked automobiles
in the absence of the driver. This
ordinance will go into effect the
Goth of this month.
Under the present law, tickets
are handed out only when an Off
Ger sees a motorist park his car
illegally or see him drive away.
The new law specifies that in
case of illegal parking, the license
tag will be evidence that the owner
parked illegally. If the owner takes
the case to court, and claims he
was not using the car, he will be
required to name the person who
was using it and to testify against
him.
We believe this measure will act
las a check on all-night parking on
fire routes and other restricted
zones, as we'll as cars parked on
the wrong side of the street,
cars left on the street over As
hours, etc.
If you have acquired the habit of
parking your car in prohibited
zones or improperly, it would be
wise for you to start correcting
yourself right away-for in just a
few days the Police will start
ticketing cars found parked i'm
properly or illegally.-And remem-
ber-They will not have to wait
until you come out to start your
car-instead, they will place
ticket on your windshield, and
when you do come out-you will
have nice little reminder on your
windshield, informing you that you
have violated section of the traf-
fic ordinance and that yiu will
have to appear at the violation
bureau and pay a fine Of two dol
lars. - Now that wouldn't be very
nice, would it? SO you had better
start right away and resolve to OBJ
serve the parking rules very close
ly.
This warning to motorist is is
sued by the First Precinct Safety
Officers of the Detroit Police De-
partment.

W P A PROJECT
FOREMAN
FIRED

Chicago-A victory against po-
lice brutality and intimidation of
Negro citizens was won here last
week by the Chicago branch of the
n. A. A. G. p, when George A.
Blakey, of its legal staff, secured
the discharge of Cassit E. Jen-
nings, supervising foreman on a
WPA project in Washington park
here.
Jennings was arrested on AIN
uary 10 of Officer Lou Steinberg,
after Jennings objected to the Of
Ger beating another worker on the
job with a nightstick. The officer
is alleged to have called jennings
"a niger and to have threatened
to have him discharged from his
job. After an exchange of words
the officer charged Jennings with
disorderly conduct, kept him in a
police station for twenty-four
hours without booking him. and
had him, photographed and finger
printed.
AT the trial Attorney Blakey, act
ing for the n. A. A. c. p, produced
white and colored witnesses in an
attempt to show that Jennings was
illegally arrested, was not guilty
of a crime, but had been the vie
tim of a growing tendency toward
police brutality. Judge h. M. Nc
Garry found Jennings guilty, how
ever, and fined him $25, whereupon
the n. A. A. C.. p. Immediately
made a motion to vacate the courts
findings, and this motion was
heard on February 25. Following
the argument of Mr.. Blakey, the
court sustained the motion to va
cate the fine and Jennings was dis
charged Jennings is considering
civil action against Officer Stein
berg.

is clearly designed to provide for

who are denied admission to the

who cannot secure the training

 City away from our families.
 We ask the public of Waterbury not to be misled by tho propa- ganda Issued by our employers and hope the public will consider the facts issued by tho union ofii- Cials, who after ali are the oes elected to represent the union men and do their bidding.
 AS to the claim of the delega- ton who appeared at the Repub- lIcan that this was an outlaw strike and was called before the negotiations were completed, We wish to state that 1t is not an out- law nor was 1t called until after the meeting with tho mediation board had ended.
 The strike was called on Q bet- ter than 70 per cent vote.
 The Mediation board meeting ended at 8;36 D. m. and the strike was called at 0:00 D. m.
 At Q meeting, Sunday, August 2, tho body was asked to give their opinion as to whether the state- il1entg in the papers represented their intentions or not and the body assured the officials that the statements in the paper did not represent their intentions.
 The body approved, unani- mously, the policy of their officials and denied that they were kept in ignorance by their officials and gave Q full vote of confidence to them.
 The body was asked if they wanted c mass meeting and a vote was taken. The mass meeting was unanimously turned down.
 James Donahue, Vice-presidcnt of the Connecticut Federation of Labor addressed the body and was heartily applauded by the body. James Corrigan, president of the Waterbury Central Labor Union followed Brother Donahue with a few words and also was heartily applauded. The body was asked for criticism on tho policy of the officials and none were forth coming.
 The body gave their orders to their officials, Edmund Naylor and Rudolph Tata to carry on the fight to get the contract signed as presented at the mediation board and that If employers wanted to meet and make any concessions, to met the officials and make same though them.
 President Rudolph Tata pre- sided at the meeting and spoke to the members on future policy and was applauded and voted the con- fldence of the body.
 Edmund Naylor spoke to the body and gave instructions to pickets and also received Q strong vote of confidence from the men. The meeting opened at 10:3O 6. m. and closed at 1:45 D. m.

Alleged Hit-And-Run
 Driver Fined $1OO
EIubcap Proved Important Feature of Testimony
 Accused Scored for Failing to Report Accident

"But your honor, stated Attorney Harold Green, in trafiic court this morning, in trying to prove his client could not have heard the noise caused by the hubcap falling oR his car after Q collision on the Nauga- tuck road, "this hubcap Is alumi- mum and that doesn't make much noiso." And in saying that he dropped the article in question on the floor. The ensuing crash could be heard in Exchange place and Judge Mascolo said blandly, "$l0o and costs".
 Thus James Stevens, 40, of 20l Orange street, charged with evading responsibility after his car had ool- lided with on auto driven by Miss M. Healey of Naugatuek on the Naugatuck road Thursday night was sentenced for not stopping to ascer- tain the extent of the damage he had done.
 Failed To Report
 Although the damage done to the Hoaley car was slight, Judge Mas colo imposed the heavy fine because of Stevens' failure to report the ac- cident to authorities in an effort to locate Miss Healey'S car and discover the damage done to It. After the accident occurred Stevens kept right on driving to Waterbury without stopping and the only trace of him was the hubcap which was knocked from his car. Sergt. Charles Mo. Weeney and George McElligott in- Vestigated and arrested Stevens, whose car was In garage for re- pairs, the fender having been slightly dented. He admitted strik- Ing the Healey car but thought the slight impact could have done no damage so he proceeded to Water- bury.
 James Lango, IT,, 20, of 830 Ham, ilton avenue was fined $l0 and costs by Judge Mascolo when he admitted allowing Q cihld under sixteen years of age to operate motor vehicle which was involved in Q slight acci- dent.
 Charges NOlled

B impoSSiple ana out or the quee- ton for the following reasons:
 It would be attended by non. union drivers, mechanics, their friends and families and oil those who cannot work (due. to the tie.up caused by the union men) and who are not Q part of the union and would have an attend- ance of possibly 500 or more spec. tators and although they were unanimous in their protest to re- turn to work, 1t would not affect the union men or strike, as oil their transactions as to whether Or not to remain on strike or return to work must take place in the labor temple, where none but union men have Q voice in the matter.
 In regards to so.called hold- outs by union officials and alleged further concessions which the eTn. ployerS have made and which we keep the body ignorant, we can only say this:
 That we invite our employees to give us Q list of their offerings, and we swear upon our oath as officers, taken by us upon election to office, to submit these offer. ings to the union men (not the non-union men and spectators hired by operators to attend Q mass meeting) to submit them to the union body and VIC will abide by their vote for acceptance or rejection.
 The organization Is in no posi- ton to speak for or against tho non-union men but all assertions made by us deal only with the wishes and intentions of our union body who has had and will always have the right to vote upon any proposition offered by the em. ployers.
 If the employers will not offer us 0 list of their offerings, they may publish them in the news papers and our body of union men will take them into consideration hAtu VVtU uPOkk bhbGHlS
 If the delegation to the Repub- lican had been union men they would not have voiced their opin- ion to the press but would have carried them into 0 union meeting where they have the right to speak their thoughts without in- terference.
 We are in full sympathy with thu wives of our union drivers who have been Shamed by the wives of non-union men who want their husbands to return to work regardless of the poor wages and working conditions under which they as -union men have been working.
 We thank the wives and fam. flies of our union men who have displayed such courage and forti- tude in this period of strife for their cooperation with us In Win- ming our fight 50 that their lot will be Q little easier when this iS over.
 We also wish to state that the employers have at no time ex- pressed to the union officials their desire to make any concessions of which the body did not already know about and which they had not rejected.
 Tn regards to the Ten dollars and fifty cents (si0.60) trip to New York and return and which they claim Is Q rate of One Dol lar $l.00) per hour we wish to say this:
 It is Q six (O hour run each way, but driver has to report at li:00 ?. m. and cannot leave his truck untif 8:00 Q. m. which keeps him in their employ 9 hours each way or i8 hours for the round trip which in reality makes the rate 68 cents per hour for the time act- ually worked and no recompense for the time spent in New York
