dental campaign to this steel center
today for a night address that aides
said would deal with civil service
and the spoils system"
A throng jammed Pittsburgh's
Pennsylvania Station to greet Landon
as his special train pulled in at $3.50
am. Many in the crowd wore straw
hats labeled Young Republicans"
On hand to welcome the Kansas
Governor were Western Pennsylvania
Republican leaders.
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick
Simms of Illinois was among those
in the Governors party on the trip
from Philadelphia, where he spoke
last night.
The Governor stayed aboard his
train more than an hour after its

he might rest during the day prior
to his address.

personal drive for his native Penn
sylvania's SO electoral votes which
he began in Philadelphia last night
with the assertion the New Deal
"wields the same ak which has de-
stroyed the liberties Of so much Of
the Old World"
A throng that overflowed the 49,
000-capacity Convention Hall, where
President Roosevelt was renominated,
roared its applause as Landon said
New Deal waste and extravaganza
violate the Constitution and must be
paid for by "the little fellow"
Use Of public money for political
purposes, Landon said, has been "open
and impudent." He laid responsibility
for "the most sinister political ma
chine of our history" upon 'one man
and one man alone the Presi-

Steps to Dictatorship.
Landon told his hearers "an un-
balanced budget, imitation Of the cur
rency, delegation Of power to the
Chief Executive and destruction OF
local self-government" were steps
leading toward dictatorship.

LAUNCH COUNTER ATTACK.
Socialists Try to Halt Fascist March
ON Madrid.

ON THE MADRID BATTLEFRONT,
October 27 OP.-Heavy fighting ragged
over a wide front today as human
avalanche" of raw Madrid govern
ment troops unleashed a desperate
counter attack in an attempt to stem
the Fascst sweep toward the capital.
Jumping the gun on the heralded
insurgent zero hour" for the final as
sault on Madrid, wave after wave Of
Socialist militia rushed across the
Castillian plains at dawn.
Caught by surprise, the Fascist high
command rushed up artillery, tanks
and armored cars to beat of the
attack.
The Socialist thrust was aimed at
the strategic Navalcarnero sector with
the troops advancing out of Mostoles,
10 miles south of Madrid.
Fierce-fighting Moorish Legionnaires
spread quickly over the sector and
fought savagely, hand to hand.
The fury of the attack left the
FascistS momentarily thunderstruck.
They were sleeping heavily, storing up
long-needed strength for the big
push" on Madrid, which was expected
to be signaled within 48 hours.
FasciStS Startled.
Confidence over the prospects Of
swift seizure of the capital had been
heightened by reports brought back to
the insurgent lines by Fascist Black
birds of Death" On their raids over
Madrid, they said, they had seen long
lines of refugee automobiles streaming
out of the capital on the eastbound
road to Valencia
The Fascist provisional government
at Burgos further declared the way
was paved for either a "starve-out"
siege or a smashing blow which would
take Madrid within to 10 days"
Madrid was isolated. the Burgos
communique said. asserting that rail
communication from the capital was
severed at El Escorial, northwest of
Madrid, and at Aranjuez, to the south.

The tooth started to hurt when
Alice was working in a Shirley

to halt production on the picture,
SO she suffered in silence. She
felt more weary each night, but
attributed it to hard work.
The picture finished, Miss Faye
consulted a dentist, who told her
the tooth was Internationally.
He decreed it be pulled. But as
she had to start work soon on an
other picture she merely had it
treated temporarily and tried to
forget it.

ing to note, was higher than that of December, 1929, and higher than any month since that time.
 City Was Fortunate
 The city has been fortunate through the depression in that there was no major labor trouble. Such disputes as arose were settled by arbitration and compromise. Most important of the labor disputes was the strike at the Watertown Under garment O., involving several hun- dred employees, and it was settled after arbitration. Union support has grown here in the past few years, but there seems no reason to afl- ticipate any major disagreementS.
 Retail business has been good all year, and chain stores which have local units have reported business much better than in previous recent years. Local merchants have in- creased their forces, and there has been considerable expansion in stock on hand. The stores best sea- son still lies ahead.
 Building Has Jagged
 Building activity, it must be granted, has Jagged somewhat, but it is nevertheless far ahead of 1885. Leaders in this field are proceeding cautiously, unwilling to take a chance on c sudden building splurge and building only as solid invest- ment. An upturn in local building is looked for.
 With the usual fall and winter upturn ahead, and with business in general going ahead at Q steady pace, there seems no reason to doubt further increases in employment and further improvement in gen. eral business conditions. And these gains, it seems safe to say, will lead waterbury business to higher. and more stable heights than it has ever enjoyed before.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-26

ployment has gained steadily through the year, and there was not even the usual summer lull. h. stead employment and production picked up in June, July and August.
 Major factories set an example a few weeks ago when they announc- ed general raises of five per cent for employees. A number of smaller fac- tories took the cue and also an- nounced wage increases. And, though it may not come in the very near future, another wage increase in To- cal plants seems extremely probable
 Encouraging Point
 A particularly encouraging point is the fact that in the past month no less than four new factories have begun operations in Waterbury Other new plants are expected. The four most recent additions to the city,s list of industrial plants have not large employment lists, but they average 50 or more hands, and they are expected to add additional help as further business warrants.
 Still another reason for optimism is the way in which the factories are beginning to absorb those for mery on the city welfare depart ment or WPA rolls. The process has begun slowly, but it is already pick ing up, and its acceleration can be counted on as business continues its upturn.
 Report Good Profits
 The Kennecott Corporation, par ent of the Chase Companies, and the Anaconda Corporation, parent of the American Brass Co, have both reported good profits for the first half of 1886. Chase and Am erican Brass rank as two of the three major plants in the city and employ large forces. The third ma for employer, the Scovill Mfg. O., recently voted 8 dividend for stock holders.
 Though official figures are un- available, employment has ap- parently increased through Septem- Der, following up large gains in August. And. in August, employ ment in Waterbury reached its highest peak since October of 1923
 At the end of August there were employed in the city 33,146 men and women. In october, 1929, the em- ployment total was 34,562. The fig ure for last month, it is interest
