New York City was a livelier
 place today, what with the addi- ton of nineteen kids from this city, who are taking in the sights as guests of the Waterbury Demo- crat! The boys, each and every one a Democrat rlewsie, were awarded the trips because of their special efforts in the recent Democrat salesmanship carn- paign. Prior to going to the rail- road station yesterday to entrain for the big city and a glorious weekend, the boys lined up in front of the Democrat office to have their pictures snapped.

PURGE OF LABOR UNIONS

Valencia, Spain, March l3.-(UP) --Foreseeing the need of mobilizing every resource at its command, the loyalist government ordered dras- tic purge of labor union member ship today and national levy of arms held by semi-ofHcial military organizations.
 The purge of the labor unions, and of the labor-political organiza- tions allied with them, was ordered as 6 means of wedding out elements suspected of sabotage and espionage in behalf of the nationaliSts.

port would be immeasurably important
should the labor movement continue
onward to increasingly important po-
litical position.
Unions Must Provide Cash.
Such efforts, however. are expensive
and some cold figures on how much
cash is available must be laid on the
line by the individual unions who
hope for concerted action BY the
whole G. !. O. At the present time,
the national organization asks . con-
tribution Of S cents per month per
member Of each afiiliated union. In
the stress Of intensive organization
efforts, however, many unions have
enrolled new members without pay
ment Of dues and the income OF the
central body has been corresponding
ly erratic. With the per capita con-
tribution to be strictly enforced In
the future, union claims Of member
ship during the coming week accord
ingly will probably be cautiously ac-
curate.
Much interest, Of course, centers on
any decisions as to participation in
policies. Lewis has asserted on
numerous occasions that organized
labor must take active interest in
politics lAbor's Non-partisan League

Join in formulating organizational and

OF their individual organizations, their

These and other circumstances Of

to the Lewis group.

SHIVERS in A
NORTHEASTERN
Rain SOaks Washington AS The
Oath OF Office Is Admin
istered Wednesday
ROOSEVELT PROPHESIES
NO BACKWARD TREND

A cold Worcester took charge OF
the situation in Washington on Wed
nesday, when President Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt, succeeded himself as
Chief Exec 4TSS.v4 Cne United States
of America.
The rain played havoc with pre-ar-
raneements for the big event. Hotels
were compelled to cancel many re-
servation. Railroad extra trains lay
idle on the sidings. Platforms built
for tens of thousands, looked bare
with umbrella-covered hundreds only
looking on. Taxi cabs, probably haul
ed few more passengers, but the
crowds were not there to haul. Those
who had planned to go to Washing
ton, stayed by the side of their radios,
and viewed it through the eye of cleo
tubes, static, and the rest of it.
However, the Inauguration went
through on scheduled time and Presi-
dent Roosevelt decided against any in
door program. He arose, and smiled
and waved at the crowd, on the ground
and talked to millions through the
modern mystery-the radio, and once
more he is at the head of the Nation
And, from his inaugural address, it
would appear he is to be the same
sort of President as he was during the
past four years. There is no retreat
from already declared governmental
principles, and the people may look
forward to four years of effort to gain
practical Control over blind economic
forces and bluntly selfish men," It is
to be hoped he may find economic
forces with clear sparkling resin, and
men who have nothing at heart except
an unselfish devotion to their fellows
IF he succeeds, then indeed, will the
economic millennium have arrived and
the President will receive the plaudits
of Americas millions.
Back of Mr.. Roosevelt is Congress
overwhelmingly Democratic. Jus'
whether they will hesitate to place
themselves behind every proposition
advanced by the Chief, remains to be
seen. By the tremendous majority
given the Chief, there is no mistaking
the will Of the people-they wanted
Roosevelt.
It is now the duty Of every citizen
to stand by their choice. It can not
be denied he has an independence Of
thought an action which indicates sin
certify. His policies, to some, however
are revolutionary. Big business is
chary of his ideas of control, and for
eign relations have yet to be re-es-
tablished as they were. But. under
him, the country seems to be coming
out from under the Depression, and
may it go forward on to more substan-
tial gains.
