 RESOLUTION
 The New Haven Central Labor Council, tn regular meeting as- sembled on Dec. 2, 1897, hereby again condemns the plan to es- tablish in Southbury, Connecti- ct, camp for the propagation of Nazi ideas, and records its firm conviction that the activities of the German-American Bund are a threat to all who believe in democracy, freedom of religious and political choice, and the prin- ciples which the people of this country have fought to maintain since early Colonial days. The council stands shoulder to should CT with the American Federation of Labor and the Connecticut Federation in condemning the Hitler government for smashing trade unions in Germany; for ex- ecuting or throwing into concen- tration camps many thousands if sincere trade unionists, liberals, and other progressives; for per- scouting Jews, Catholics, and Protestants; for enslaving the masses of German people; and for its part in attempting to bring on another World war. The Ger. American Bund avowedly works in this country to win sup- port for these ideas, and should not be tolerated in Connecticut, or in any part of the United States.
 The council also resolves that the plan of the Bund to estab- fish camp in the vicinity of New Haven calls for immediate action on the part of all who be- lieve in the democratic form of government. To await until the land Is purchased, if such Is not the case already, would be a grave mistake. In View of happenings in other sections, no faith can be placed in any denial of intention to open 0 camp in this region.
 Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That the president of the New Haven Central Labor Council is hereby authorized to appoint a commit tee of five members; this corn- mittee to be instructed and em- powered to issue at once a call for a city-wlde conference of rep. resentatives of all trade unions, peace societies, and religious groups, organizations of progress sives and professionals, veterans, minority groups, political parties and civic bodies, fraternal orders, womens and youth groups. It is the hope of the council that this conference will influence public opinion to an extent which will make 1t impossible for the Ger man American Bund to open a camp in this vicinity, and which will cooperate with similar bodies in other cities, If they are set up, in keeping the Bund out of Con- necticut.
 Be It Further Resolved, That the council says to the many German American people of this city and state that 1t Is well aware of the fact that the Bund does not represent them, and issues special invitation to them to join us in this endeavor, and
 Be It Further Resolved, That we congratulate the citizens of South
