Alien Veteran Law
 Expires May 18th
Congressman Smith Urges Immediate Action on Part of EIigibIes-FOur Important Exemptions Allowed

personally aware of a number of alien veterans in the fifth congress sional district intending to petition for naturalization under this law, annd is convinced there are many others eligible who should be warned that they must file before May 25 if they desire citizenship or be compelled to comply with the more exacting forms demanded in the regular process of naturaliza- ton.
 MT. Smith said that the immi- grafton and naturalization service, of which L. l.. Martineau of Hart ford is the divisional director, lists the court of common pleas in Wa terbury and the superior court in WinSted as the naturalization courts in the fifth congressional district. Others in Connecticut are the United States district courts at Hartford and New Haven; the su- perior courts in Bridgeport, New London, Norwich, Putnam, Rock vile and Middletown; and the city courts of New Britain and Meriden.
 Interest Widespread
 A widespread interest in the ad- vantages offered under this law is proved, according to Congressman Smith, by the increasing corre- spondence from veteran groups composed Of foreign-b born ex- soldiers of the United States or al- lied nations urging support of bill now pending which would ex- tend further the time in which alien veterans. can take advantage of these exemptions from the nat uralization requirements.
 MT. Smith said it is his inten- tion to support such bill if it is reported favorably to the house, but he urged all alien veteranes to pe- tition before May 25 for natura,i- zation under the existing act be- cause there is no certainty that the pending bill will be enacted.

GARMENT MAKERS
 REFUSE TO RETURN
Montreal Group Won't Be
 Stampeded, Officials Say, By Orders

Montreal, April 29.---(UP)-Strik- ing garment workers strengthened picket lines today in defiance of a government order to return to work immediately and submit their de- Ynands to arbitration.
 The International Ladies Garment Workers union announced that it would not permit 5000 strikers to be stampeded or forced back to factories under threats"
 Orders to return to work came from William Tremblay, Quebec labor minister, who said that if the strikers did not obey, their actions might be considered "acts of con- spiracy."
 The ultimatum was telegraphed to Raoul Trepanier, strike cornrnit- tee chairman, shortly after the strikers decided at a mass meeting that employers must recognize the International union before they would return to work to await out come of government-sponsored arbi- tration proceedings.
 Your demand Tor closed shop cannot be considered as an ac- 'ceptable excuse for delay" Tremblay said.
 Treparier said he knew of no British government that has yet interfered unless requested to do so, by both parties. between employers and employees bargaining collective ly among themselves, even if 1t in- wolves the closed shop.
 "If our government in Quebec in- tends to recognize freedom of organ- ization, 1t will surely have to abide by this rule or else declare itself a non-democrat authority" The strike was called on April i5 when the Montreal Dress Manufac- turers' Guild refused to recognixe the union as bargaining agency for all employees in the industry. At that time more than 100 plants and 5000 workers were affected. Sixty employers later reached individual agreements with 2,O00 strikers and reopened their plants.

lspecial to The Democrall

Washington, April Congress man J. Joseph Smith today warned number of correspondents inter ested in helping aliens with their naturalization problems that the provisions of the so-called "alien veteran law" will expire on May 25, and urged all who wish to take ad- vantage of it to petition for nat uraiization at once.
 Under this law, aliens who served during the World war with the services of the United States and certain aliens who served with the allies are allowed important ex- emptions from immigration re- quirements as follows:
 Exemptions
 1. No declaration of intention is required.
 3. Proof of the usual five years residence in the United States and six months county residence is not required.
 3. No certificate of arrival is re- quired unless applicants legal ad- mission to the United States for permanent residence occurred sub sequent to March 3, 1924.
 1. Petition may be filed in the most convenient naturalization court without proof of residence within its jurisdiction.
 Veterans of allied services who may qualify under the law are those who were lawfully admitted into the United States for permanent residence but who left the country between August, 1914, and April 5, 1917, or those who left the coun- try after the entrance of the United States into the war after being de- nied entry into the military and naval forces of the United States.
 In all cases it is required that the veteran must have an honorable discharge in order to qualify.

DAVIS DESCRIBES
 SIT-DOWN STRIKES
Plan Does Not Always Promote Common Cause
 of Labor

If a strike were to take place" said Edward H. Davis, statistician of the Scovill Mfg. O., speaking to the Lions Club at the Elton today, wouldn't most of you here prefer to have it confined within the the ater of the controversy than to spread itself all over the streets of the city and perhaps cause need- less blood shed?"
 Generally speaking the guest speaker was not in favor of what he described as the latest technique in striking, the sit-down strike. On the other hand, however, he pointed out that there has never appeared at any time any statement which de- cided that the rights of corpora tions were divine rights and could not be disputed.
 MT. Davis said the present sit- down strike is nothing more or less than the logical outlet of a smouldering feeling on the part of the laboring classes in this country which itself has been the result of questionable practices of employers and of the government. up until last week, represented by the de- cisions of the Supreme Court.
 "The sit down strike does not always promote the common cause of labor" he said, "and these sporadic outbursts are somewhat of a nuisance. But they do represent an indication of the feelings of the laboring class and also have a great social significance"
 William Taylor, chairman of the Lions club drive for crippled chil- dren, announced that with half of the appeals sent out by the club answered to date total of $1,GO0 has been realized. He further stated that he hoped the club would reach its goal of 5000.

CONGRESS WILL
 PASS THE BUCK
Put Burden of Government Economy on Presidents
 Shoulders
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS

tUmted Press Stair COrreSpOndent
 Washington, April 29.-CUP) = Congress prepared today to shift to President Roosevelt the responsibil- ity for budget economy and the de- cision on whether new taxes will be necessary next session.
 Under the tentative leadership plan, a resolution declaring economy the policy of congress but leav- ing to the President the task of cutting expenditures will be passed in a few weeks.
 Leaders worked to keep appropri- ations within $40O,0O0,0OO of the original January revenue estima tes, now out of line by that amount.
 The policy" resolution, impound- ing IS per cent of regular appropri- aitnos, was sponsored by Rep. Clar- ence Cannon, d.. Mo-, with ap- proval of President Roosevelt.
 Leaders admitted, however, that it amounted to "a gesture" Rep. Clifford Woodrum, d., Va, of the house appropriations committee, said that every appropriation approved by the committee had been "cut to the bone"
 House Majority Leader Sam Ray burn said he believed that, if by next January appropriations are not more than $100,000,000 out of line with revenue, no new taxes will be necessary.
 Similar sentiment to avoid inn position of new taxes came from most members of congress. They hoped tax legislation could be held to adjustments in present levels.
 Cannon said he probably would call up his resolution in the house in two weeks after action on the interior department bill, last regu- lar appropriation measure.
 He criticized the proposal of Rep. John Taber, r., N. Y, for flat ten per cent cut on all appropriations as totally unfair for many agen- cies."

Mrs. Halle M. Cullinan, Wash

to tell of her marital happiness
which she says was blasted when
her husband, Charles, met Miss
Strittmatter in the Detroit Home
Owners Loan Corporation office,
in which they worked together.
In her bill of complaint Mrs.
Cullinan charged her husband was
duped, driven to drink and held
captive at Russell Island rendez-

with Miss Strittmatter.
She also charged he was forced
into marriage with Miss Stritt-
matter, which was later annulled
as bigamous.
Yesterday Miss Strittmatter
took the stand to declare it was
she, not Cullinan, who was duped
in the affair.
She completed her denial Of

witnesses against her partially
corroborate her stand.
