positively i'll. In desperation he seized an
other sheet of paper and put it into the
machine. A man must have some relief.
Miss Grace Estelle," he wrote this time,
that perennial screen star of yesterday and
today especially yesterday has again hon
ored our humble city with her presence. She
stepped from the train this morning just
like any other mortal and was Immediately
surrounded by two redcaps. AS she swept
through Grand Central terminal she smiled
right and left at her public, who unfortunately
were all hurrying to lunch and did not notice.
Later, in her snowy suite in the hotel,
Miss Estelle ran through her opinions on
love, of which she approves. She also spoke
of her work on the screen, of which she ap-
proves even more. Despite her most recent
divorce, Miss Estelle still hopes to find her
ideal mate and share with him a simple,
humble little home in the country. At present
the actress lives in a twenty room bungalow
in back of Beverly Hills"
Having finished this much, Eddie read it
carefully. His eyes lit up; great inner peace
possessed him. 1t was tremendous salts
faction - the real lowdown. He found fresh
cigarette and went back to the typewriter
with zest. He wrote two more pages in the
same vein and was about to start third
when the phone rang.
1t was Mrs. Burns. his mother-in-law. and
she was concise and to the point. She said
he had better get home right away.
He had his hat and coat on and was half
way down the hall when he remembered the
interview. He returned hurriedly. calling to
the girl who did his typing Stufhng one
interview into his pocket, he told the girl to
have the other typed and delivered to Trent
of the Globe before she left for the day.
At the hospital he sat with his mother-in-
law in the waiting room. There wasn't any
suitable place for pacing and he fidgeted in
his chair. Finally he took his interview the
real lordOWn one - from his pocket. Any
thing to keep his mind occupied, he thought.
He gave one look at the first page and gulped
and let out low. whimpering sound. His
mother-n-law turned her head and looked at
him disdainfully.
''I-Imade mistake, - he muttered hoarsely.

Eddie rushed to the phone in the entrance

tremendously in the General Mo- tors strike, even calling out troops for temporary protection of sit- down strikers and to prevent bloodshed. He has swung back to more conservative ground.
 Davey, after needing Lewis Perkins Roosevelt pleas to prevent massacre by sending militia to keep Youngstown steel plants closed, then opened the plants with militia because he deemed it the better part of political wis., dom, despite 0. I. o. howls.
 Comes State Action
 Earle, who like Davey, has presidential ambitions, sent troops to Johnstown in an obviously pro- c. I. O. move, then apparently went into cold sweat, withdrew them and declaerd for Roosevelt for 1940.
 Highly significant is the new Michigan law which provides a state labor relations board to in- vestigate and suggest arbitration, confirms organization and bar gaining rights, forbids picketing which blocks highways or entry into or egress from a factory, bars

 State laws restricting labor may become common, but federal legis- lation of that sort isn't likely.
 State laws restricting labor may become common, but federal legis- lation Of that sort isn't likely.
 Illegal violence, whether by em- ployer or employe, is punishable under the law. It also inflames public opinion and usually brings official force in against the perpe- trators. Labor leaders, although they may encourage it, carefully watch for the point beyond which they dare not go.
 We've Seen Worse
 If you have jitters about labor violence or anti-labor violence read back into history about the Molly Maguires, the Pittsburgh riots of 1877 with their % militia killings and $5,000,000 of de- stroyed railroad property, the Homestead strike, the Haymarket tragedy, the Ludlow massacre,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-24

the McNamara dynamitings, the Herrin massacre and Chicago's la bor terrorism.
 Compare the last great steel strike which Pennsylvania troop CTS broke by riding madly through steel towns to beat, trample and shoot men, wome n and children, with the successful and peaceful negotiations between Lewis and Myron Taylor of U. s. Steel, or the Jones & Laughlin election. Or even with the Republic Youngs- town Inland Bethlehem strike, re- gardless of what the Chicago cops did.
 This isn't the country 1t was four years ago. And in 1888 the public, if 1t desires, can elect a Congress which will put it back toward where 1t was. But most of us fear the future rather than the present.
 The fight for power doubtless will go on forever. But perhaps with less heat, less violence, less cruelty, more light, more cooper ation, more understanding and more human kindness.

.CONNOR REQUESTS
 STIFF PENALTIES

Prosecution of drunken drivers arrested in the city over the week end will be more severe in the fu- ture than in the past according to officials of the local traffic court who include Judge John F. Mc- Grath, Judge Edward J. Mascolo, and Prosecuting Attorneys Mitchell G. Meyers, Frank T. Healey and Charles Summa. Although the num- Der of violations on this charge has been greatly reduced during the past month Commissioner Michael A. Connor, head of the state motor vehicle department has requested the maximum punishment. Heavy fines or jail sentences or both are likely to be meted out in cases where drivers are operating while their license is under suspension. In traffic court last Monday morning, one man was fined $10O and costs for violating the latter motor ve- hicle law.
 More than 30 cases are already listed for disposal in the Monday morning session of traffic court with offenders facing charges of being intoxicated while driving, evasion of responsibility, reckless driving. speeding, violation of the rules of the road, failure to signal, failure to grant the right of way, defective brakes or lighting conditions. In most of these cases. the drivers of the cars have been involved in &C., cidents, and were arrested by members of the police motor patrol.

LEADERS JAILED
 CRIME ON WAIVE
Fewer Arrests Here on Breaking, Entering COnl-
 plaint Records Show

Fewer charges of breaking and entering were preferred in superior court during the past court year, than in several previous seasons, report of States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis revealed today. During the court year of July 1, 1886 to June 30, 1887, there were but IA such cases tried.
 The previous year recorded 20 cases of breaking and entering, and the year before that there were 24. Somewhat of a semblance of scar city of such instances was recorded in 1884 when IT were charged with that offense.
 County Detective Roland c. Alling attributed the decline to the work of local police officers, who, espe- cially during the past few years have specialized in the roundup of wholesale gangs instead of one vio- lator at time. With the ringlead- CTS behind bars there is less chance of the wholesale breaks which were recorded during their hey-days.

Stull and Boyd Long, all of Scot
dale. Police said the youths ap-
peared to be about Is years old.
The powder magazine, owned by
the Loucks Harware company. was
one-story sheet iron building
which had been used for more than
40 years to store dynamite and
other explosives.
The blast scattered parts of the
building over a wide area and left
q deep hole where the structure
once stood.
It was believed the boys stood
about Is feet away from the build
ing to shoot at 4 piece of paper
they had posted near the roof. The
bOdy of one of the youths was found
along an embankment about so
yards away. The others were found
in a nearby field about 100 yards
distant The rifle was also found
in the field
The bodies were badly mutilatcd
and one was decapitated. They
were removed to an undertaking es-
tablishment in Scotdale.
Windows were broken in hun
dreds of homes in ScotdGle and in
RegantoWn, which is four miles
away from the scene of the eXplo-
som in the opposite direction. A
large plate glass window was shat
tered in a store in down town Scot
dale, endangering scores of passers-
by.
The home of Irving Anderson,
which stands about 400 feet from
the scene of the blast. suffered con-
siderable damage. Every window
in the house was blown out and the
interior of the building was dam
aged.
Anderson'S wife. who was working
in the kitchen when the blast oc-
cured, was cut about the face and
body when the kitchen window was
shattered.

power is retained and handled by
the people. it will greatly reduce
if not entirely eliminate irrga-
ton district taxes"
If A. B. Vests offer was ac-
cepted, the power company would
take out OF Imperial Valley thru
power rates more than it would
put into the valley Through power
purchases. Rose said in effect. The
valley would be paying heavy in
terest on its own money.
"Of course Rose continued,
anyone knows that if the All Am
erican canal power IS turned over
to the Nevada California corpora
ton for l2-cent per kilowatt hour,
il would be sold back to the peo-
pie to whom it belongs for at least
10 times as much.
Instead of paying $35,000,000
for the canal and power plants
the corporation would collect from
the people probably Sl5O,OO0,OO0 in
40 years, of which the company
promises to return $50 600, 600
On another phase of the Nev-
Cal offer. Rose commented, They
also tell you that if All American
canal power is sold to them they
would be able to sell our surplus
power in three states and in Mex
leo. 1t makes you wonder why
they don't take the power they
have now and sell it in those mar
kets-where they would lead you
to believe they have no compe-
tltion-instead of threatening
long fight in Imperial Valley.
Remember this: when AL Am
erican canal power is generated
it will be the peoples power. Few
are foolish enough to believe that
the taxpayers and residents of the
valley are going to buy from the
power company and let our own
power go to waste

It was said TO be the first time
a newspaper ever has been picketed
because Of its editorial policy.
More than so pickets marched
across the street to the News build
ing from a building at 235 East
42nd street, where a strike of l60
members of the writer's WPA pro-
ject has been in progress for two
days.
Upwards of 125 policemen were
on duty in the vicinity, including
eight mounted policemen and three
patrol cars. Hundreds of persons
crowded into the area, but police
kept them moving.
The pickets were screaming,
chanting group as they paraded be
