CITY BUILDERS
 TO MEET ]! TODAY
Contractors Probably Will Discuss Strike That De-
 lays Contracts

Apparently ready to take some united step in reference to the strike of the Waterbury Hod Carriers and Common Laborers Union, several local contractors made plans for a meeting this afternoon in the Cham Der of Commerce building.
 The strike has held up work on several building projects since last Friday morning when the workers refused to continue until their de- mands were granted.
 No Labor Man Invited
 Although Rocco Palomba, repre- sentative of the union, was out of town today, and could not be reached, 1t was understood that nc delegate of the union had been irl- vited to the meeting of the contrac- tors this afternoon. Thomas F Moran, representative of the build- CTS made the arrangements for the meeting, at the request of Edward C. Mraz, president of the builders ex- change.
 Other Union Men Idle
 Other building trades union men although not on strike, continued out of work today, refusing to .hand- de any goods coming from non- union bod carriers and laborers. Nc union carpenter, mason, electrician plumber or painter will work on the same job with non-union bod car rier or laborer. To date the builders have remained practically silent on the demands of the strikers, but some stand is expected to be an- nounced at the close of today's session. The strikers want 70 cents an hour for hod carriers and 65 cents an hour for laborers, and time and a half for overtime.

SPANIARDS ARE STILL FIGHTING
Artillery Fire, Bombs Are
 Rocking Country South of Madrid
By HENRY T. GoRRELL

United Press Stan Ccrrespondent)
 Madrid, July 20.-(UP)--A blast of artillery fire and airplane bombs that rocked the country south of Madrid told anxious residents of the capital at dawn today that the lia- tionalists had opened a new coun- ter-attack in their desperate at tempt to erase gains made in the loyalist offensive. Government air. planes went out along the roads to the south. bombing nationalist troops hastening to the front afoot and in trucks. As they did so, na- tionalist scout planes appeared over Madrid. and the bark of anti-air- craft guns added to the din.
 Incendiary Bombs
 Northwest of the city, national ist planes using incendiary bomb set fire to ripe rice and wheat which had not been harvested be- cause of the long battle. For tEe moment the ferocious battle north- west of the capital slackened. Three days under almost continuous fire, day and night, blasted by airpiane bombs, the picked troops of the core tending armies were exhausted. That the battle was the biggest of the war there remained no doubt. It was estimated here that 50O,O0O men were concentrated on a 90 mile front northwest, west and south of the capital.
 C0unter-Attack Fails
 Loyalist sources asserted that the nationalist counter attacks had fail- ed to penetrate the loyalist lines and permit recapture. of positions taken in the offensive which Gen. Jose Miaja, loyalist commander in chief, had planned so long in his determination to free the capital from siege. Loyalists seemed ccn- fident that their lines would hold. If they did 1t meant the breaking of Continued on Page 4)

Labor Union Officials Ren1oued From Office
Judge MGEx0y Issued Order liter Hearing One oi Most Novel Cases in Years Central Labor
 Union of New London

Former officials of the Central Labor Union of New London, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor were formally removed from office by court order of Judge Frank P. McEvoy in Waterbury su- perior court today.
 William F. Green, president, and the American Federation of Labor were the plaintiffs in the court ac- ton which sought delivery of the books and records of the outlawed faction. Local and state organizers of the American Federation of Labor appeared in superior court to out line the discrepancies of the former officers of the New London Central Labor Union, and review the reasons why their injunction measures should be granted.
 First Litigation
 Counsel for the American Feder- ation described the litigation as. the first ever entered into by the Amer ican Federation of Labor in its 57 years of existence. They admitted, however, that they had been party to several actions.
 The New London Central Labor union was outlawed for establishing 6 liquor dispensing plant at New London and trying to tax the mem- bers of the various locals of New London for its maintenance. Ofii- cers of the Central Labor union were in charge of the maintenance of the plant, which was duly li- censed by the state liquor commits sion as "club'.
 Francis P. Fenton, New England organizer for the A. F. of L. was the only witness heard by Judge McEvoy today, all the defendants defaulting in appearance. James J.

President of Guild Calls Green Greatest Obstacle

New York, July 20.-(UP)-Hey- wood Broun, president of the American Newspaper Guild, today characterized William Green, preSi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, as the greatest obstacle in the path of labor.
 Broun was. replying to an attack by Green. Green had termed him a "stooge' of communists, and charged that he had sold editorial newspaper workers down the river" by taking the Guild out of the American Fed eration of Labor into the Commit tee for Industrial Organization.

The Bible In Chinese

DR.. Robertson, famous missionary
to China in the latter part of the 18th
century, was probably the first scholar
to attempt a translation of the Holy
Scriptures into the Chinese language.
Since then others have made contri-
buttons to the mighty task, but the
outstanding Bible translation in Chin
ese was done by Samuel Isaac Joseph
Schereschewsky, a Lithuanian, born
in the town of Tauroggen on May
23rd, 1881. He was of the Jewish race,
and like others his family was exposed
to severe civic and social disabilities.
His parents died when he was very
young, and he went to live with rel
ative, a timber merchant in good cir
cumstances. But he was unhappy there
and at the age of fifteen left his home
with the determination to make his
way in the world Independently. He
wandered over Russia, Poland and
Germany, studying where he could,
and supporting himself by giving les
sons in various Jewish families. While
a university student at Frankfort, his
daily ration consisted of one loaf of
bread, divided into three portions
one for his breakfast, one for lunch
and one for supper.
Intellectually, he appears to have
been a brilliant youth. At the age of
eighteen he was writing poety in He
brew. He had also familiarized him.
self with the various languages spoken
in that part of Europe where so many
small nations are next door neigh
bors.
In 1854 he came to America. Let US
see how Providence led this gifted
young Jew to become a follower of
Christ. More than hundred years
ago learned Rabbi of the Jewish
community on the Malabar coast of
South India translated the New Tes-
lament into Hebrew for the purpose
of confuting Christians. A copy of this
New Testament fell into the hands of
young Schereschewsky. Just when this
happened is not clear, but it evidently
deeply impressed him.
After his arrival in New York a
Jewish missionary, Mr.. G. R. Lederer
met him, and after a time won his
friendship. It was while celebrating
the Passion in Mr.. Lederer's house
