 ATTEND MEETING
Benefits of Organization Explained By C. l. 0.
 Organizer Brophy

Waterbury's workingmen would benefit greatly by brass workers unions, declared John Brophy, sec retary and national organizer of the Committee for Industrial Organiz- ation declared yesterday in an ad- dress at an open meeting of Water bury workers at Workmen's Circle hall.
 He described the aims of the c. 1. O. in its efforts to organize all the workers in various industries into united groups, in contrast with the American Federation of Labor'S plan of craft organization for skilled workmen.
 Only through the c. I. o. he de- clared. can mass production indus tries, like automobile manufacturing rubber and steel, be organized. He said that strong brass workers union could be formed here, and would be able to secure many ad- vantages for its members.
 Any effort of the A. F. of L. to attempt to vote busting of the unions supporting the c. I. O. will result in a floor battle at the na- tional labor convention at Tampa, Fla, next month, said MT. Brophy.

Resolution Presented
 National Commander Danie. D'Allesandre, introduced the resolu- tion which reads as follows:
 RESOLUTION
 Whereas, 1t has come to our Knowledge, the Italian-American World War Veterans of the United States, Inc, that the World War premier of England, Lloyd George, is criticising our country in the method of cooperating in the recent world crisis, expressed especially in Volume 5 of his Memoirs, published in London a few days ago, and
 Whereas, the said Lloyd George in said Memoirs, criticised us in saying, Tt, (the United States), is the greatest machinery producing country on earth, but failed to turn out mechanisms for war after eighteen months of sweating, toil- ing. hustling, etc.," and
 Whereas, the said Lloyd George criticiSes General Pershing and his chief of staff for refusing to merge American troops into Brit ish and French units through fear of losing our identity, although such action received the approval of our late President Woodrow Wilson, and
 Whereas, it is common knowledge and history that Lloyd George pleaded with our country for help in the memorable words, "Our backs are to the wall," which as- sistance was given at the cost of life, property and bloodshed,
 Now then, be 1t resolved, that we, the ltalian-American World War Veterans of the United States, heartily and unanimously endorse General Hugh Johnson's heroic and fearless asssailment of Lloyd George, and furthermore, that we strenuously and unanimously re- sent the criticisms aforementioned as being misleading, unfair and malicious as well as unstatesman- like on the part of the said Lloyd George.
 And be 1t further resolved, that we feel that if the said Lloyd George had written book advocat- ing the payment of England's debt to the United States rather than criticising OUT doughboys, General Pershing, our late war president, Woodrow wilson, our method of manufacturing war materials, etc., he would be held and re- spected as a former statesman who wanted his country, to do what is right towards ours, offer ing praise and thanks for our efforts in the World War, rather than giving condemnation.
 And be 1t further resolved, that Q copy of these resolutions be for warded to the press of our nation and 8 copy to Lloyd George and

JOHN T. RILEY IS
TREATED AT HOSPITAL

A letter to the Democrat from JUS
tice of the Peace, John T. Riley, of
this city, expresses much appreciation
for the beautiful cards and letters
that have baen sent to him and his
wife in Baltimore.
Mr.. Riley went to the Walter Reed
hospital for treatment for serious
affection of the throat. Mrs. Riley
is him with and will stay indefinitely.
The tone of his letter did not reveal
as cheerful an outlook as his friends
would desire. He, apparently, sees a
long stretch of illness ahead of him ;
but his home folks are trusting that
he may mend faster than he thinks,
and that he may soon be home again.

GOVERNOR NICE
URGES BIBLE
OBSERVANCE
Churches To Unite Next Sunday
To Remind Nation Of The
Great Book
MILLIONS OF VOLUMES
OF BIBLES DISTRIBUTED

Governor Harry w. Nice urges the
churches of Maryland to observe Uni
versal Bible Sunday on next Sunday,

sored by the American Bible Soc., by
whose uninterrupted missionary ac-
tivities, now in their 12Oth year, more
than 268, 100000 volumes of Scriptures
have been distributed in more than
forty countries and in It's languages.
In endorsing Universal Bible Sun
day, Governor Nice says: December
sixth having been set aside and des-
ignated as Universal Bible Sunday
deserves to be most seriously and
reverently observed by the people of
this nation. as well as the people of
the entire world.
Frequent reading of the Book of
Books familiarizing ourselves with
Gods commands, and following such
reading with human attempt to
guide our every action and thought
in conformity with these divine in
structions, cannot fail to make of US
a great people, God-fearing people,
a religious people, a people who, by
reasons of these things, must even
tually tal~s their place as leaders a.
mong nations. Christian influence in
the home, observance of Gods Holy
Day and reverence, obedience and re-
spect to and for God, are essentials
without which no nation can long en-
dure upon the face of the earth"
