INAUCATUCK HAS 1 TROUBLE AGAIN
(Continued from Page D

N~~@~~~~~SNON~ imously, MT. Kenishea said, to strike unless their demands had been met by 2 o'clock this morn- ing.
 Company Asks Delay
 MT. Kenishea said officials of the Chemical Company then asked de- lay so that a conference could be held at 5 o'clock this afternoon. This was agreed upon and workers continued on the job as usual to- day.
 A meeting of the Chemical Com pany workers will be held tonight at g o'clock in St. Georges hall, MT. Kenishea told The Democrat. A re- port of the result of this afternoon's $ conference is expected to be given them at that time and it is pos sible they will vote on what action they wish to take.
 Must Finish Jobs
 MT. Kenishea said that in event a strike is called, employees have been warned by the union not to quit their jobs until the particular task each is on has ben finished. There is no desire on the part of the union to leave the company "in the hole" as far as unfinished work is concerned, he said. This would mean that general walkout if decided upon, would probably be spread over a 24 hour period.
 The Naugatuck Chemical Com pany is part of the U. s. Rubber, Inc, plant here. Although there was a rumor yesterday that employees of the footwear division might go on strike in event the Chemical Com pany workers did so, MT. Kenishea denied this, stating he did not anti cipate such an occurrence.
 As the Chemical Company sup plies chemicals and labels to the footwear division however, strike in the Chemical might cripple pro- duction in the footwear section. Borough Surprised
 The news of labor unrest came as a surprise locally. Several months ago employees of the Chemica Company were given an increase and up to Wednesday there were no reports of unsatisfaction. Many local residents are hopeful the af- fair will be settled without resorting to strike. The Chemical Company employs about 750 workers and MT Kenishea said the request for a To- cent-an-hour pay raise would af- feet all except office employees.
 According to MT. Kenishea, mem- bers of the committee of the union which will confer with the officials this afternoon, are H. D. Dawson MT. Kenishea, Emil Cussin, William Fenton, Leroy Thomas and Joseph | Shanley

Continued From Page D Last nights meeting was called as citizens mass meeting and 1,lO0 persons attended. Rep. Clare G. Hoffman, republican, Michigan, the principal speaker, made a bitter at tack on John l.. Lewis, chairman of the CIO., charging that Lewis was Americas No. communist" that Lewis ranks fourth on the international honor role of the con- munist party" Lewis, he said, had accepted "the leading communists of America into the CIO."
 "These men were thrown from Lewis organization when it was first started" Hoffman charged, "but lately have been permitted to re- join and aid in organization Of the entire working nation under the principles of communism. Lewis wants to make himself the lord, and even revised the 10 commend ments by striking out the one which makes the Sabbath day holy, and the other one against stealing. JohnstoWn has chance to win a place in history by making a stand now to stem this time of commun- ism" Hoffman praised Mayor Dan- iel J. Shields, who has been Spon- soring a back-to-work movement, saying that he wished i've had in the White House a man of like character"
 Strikers Had Session
 The other mass meeting was spon- sored by the steel strikers and was held yesterday afternoon. Approxi- mately 4O0O persons attended. Clin- ton s. Golden, regional director of the s. D. O. C., the chief speaker, called Shields "a big bag of wind .' Shields, like Tom Girdler (presi- dent of the Republic Steel corpora tion) is a menace to society" he said. You want signed contract because you don't respect the of- f1cials of Bethlehem. If they want to make steel and money, they will have to sign contract and make union steel"
 Mayor Promises
 In his speech, Shields promised to protect non-strikers wishing to re- turn to work. "If you want to go to work, you go to work-I'll protect you," he said. You can join the union if you want to. You can rely on me to do what is required to protect our homes and our right to govern ourselves"

and Lee Pressman, counsel for the committee for industrial organiza- tion with which the S.W.O. c. is af- filiated. The administration pin ned its hopes for Q settlement of the strike on a three member mediation board appointed by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins with ap- proval of President Roosevelt.
 Hope For Settlement
 Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati lawyer and son of the late president, who was named chairman of the board, said he hoped that the controversy could be settled within a week. Other mediators were Assistant Sec retary of Labor Edward F. Mc- Grady and Lloyd K. Garrison, dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School and first chairman of the National Labor Relations Board.

board, Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward ?. McGrady also will be there"
 McGrady is en route back from Europe. He arrives in New York today.
 Taft said that the question of ad- vancing formal proposals, of offers to arbitrate and of other procedure matters would be worked out by the board at it's first meeting. The board has no power to force a settlement or to subpoena witnesses but it can hold hearings, investigate conditions and make recommendations to both sides in an effort to end the con- dict over whether four big inde- pendent steel companies should sign union contracts.
 Prevention of Clashes
 Meantime, the most difficult job appeared likely to be that of pre- venting new clashes between pickets and non-strikers seeking to go back to work.

TERRYvILLE RUMPUs

Terryvllle, Conn.,, June 18.-(UP)- Miss Lulu F. Hare, about 40 and att tractive, didn't want to be quoted today but what she did say indicat- ed a strike of 159 employees in two local factories, called because she re- fused to join union, may go on indefinitely. "There are no new de- velopments," said Elmer Whittier, who with his brother, Horace, op- crates the Cooper Oven Thermom- eter and H. R. Whittier factories. A union called a strike because of the 160 employers working in the com bined plants, only Miss Hare wasn't a member Either she joined, the union said, or else.
 She Didn't Join
 Miss Hare didn't join, and the 159 employees struck, closing both plants. She. didn't want to talk for quota tion when queried today but her determined stand against the union Have you," she finally was asked joined the union?" Mo-" she said Do you intend to join the union?' T do not
 Elmer Whittier reported his two plants were being picketed by three or four carloads of strikers" They weren't carrying any banners, he said, and weren't doing much be- cause the factories were not operat- ing and nobody was going in. Ht said only the overhead crew. clerical workers and foremen were on the job.
 Will Stay Closed
 Whittier said so far as he wal concerned the plants would stay closed indefinitely. They haven approached me today as yet" ht said when asked about the unior stand, land we haven't approached them" The next move will have to come from the union," he assert. ed, with f1nality. Even if Miss Hare joins the union," he continued, "wt will not tolerate q closed shop. Tha1

D. J. MAHANEY
 IS NOT PLEASED

(Continued from Page D session. Passage was won only after hard fight and lengthy parlia- mentary procedure. The bill then passed the senate without a dissent ing vote. The passage clinaxed a six-year fight by Representative Mahaney for the bill. At previous sessions the bill never got out o1 committee despite strong efforts by the local representative to get it on the floor.
 Governor Cross vetoed the bill yesterday, declaring that regulation of rates is a matter for the Public Utilities Commission to decide.
 That's what the governor says, said Representative Mahaney. "The commission has never done any thing about the extra charge be- fore, and the commission will hard ly bother with it now, even though 1t is important"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-18

Sheriff Ralph E. Elser of Hahon- ing CYoungstown) county, said that, with the approval of Governor Mar tin L. Davey of Ohio, he was ask ing "all parties concerned" to delay efforts to reopen the plants as con- templated by some of the companies. Mayor Lionel Evans of Youngstown considered the danger zone of the entire strike area-joined in the eff forts.
 The citizens conciliation council at Canton, appealed to operators and non-strikers to delay attempts to reopen mills until peace efforts had been made. Threats of an im- mediate back-to-work march there leSsened but leaders said they would not wait long.
 President Frank Purnell of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,, de- clined to comment on mediation efforts.
 He said that "a large number of our employees are pressing us to open our gates so that they can go back to work and if we develop that the proper law enforcement officers can give the protection to which as citi- zens and taxpayers they are en- titled, it is, of course, the logical result"
 John S. Brookes, counsel for Re- public Steel, said his company Twill cooperate with the board; we always cooperate" The other two com- panies involved in the strike-In- land Steel and Bethlehem-also were expected to cooperate but it was indicated that none of the four concerdns had changed its stand against signing a union contract. Philip Murray, chairman of the steel workers organizing committee, said he would gladly cooperate with the board.
 Other Developments
 Other developments in the scat tered strike centers added to the problem before the mediation board. They included:
 l. c. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis charged in telegram read to strike mass meeting at Chicago that motion pictures of the Chicago Memorial day disorders conclusive ly demonstrate" that nine strike demonstrators were deliberately murdered in cold blood by the Chi cago police department as friend ly gesture to the Republic Steel Co.,"
 2. Congressman Clare G. Hoff- man, republican, Michigan, charged before a mass meeting of non- strikers at Johnstown, Pa, that Lewis Ifs Americas No. com- munist."
 3. Company officials said Bethle- hem's big cambria plant at Johns town, was increasing operations as result of returning workers and greater police protection. Strike leaders, however, asserted that there was little change in the situation.
 4. Strike attorneys got into the court record at Warren, O., list of arms in the Republic plants at Warren and Niles. The list showed 5000 rounds of .38 calibre cartridges, 2,500 shotgun shells, 20 shot-guns, 30 pistols, 10 gas guns, 250 long range gas projectiles, 100 short range gas projectiles and 250 gas grenades. The list was disclosed at hearing on an anti-picketing in- junction.
 An indirect repercussion of the strikes was heard in Cleveland when former Attorney General Edward c. Turner advocated compulsory ar- bitration of labor disputes and legis- lation htat would make strikes and lockouts illegal. He spoke before the state republican conference which is sponsored by the Ohio Fed eration of Republican clubs.

The National ist broadcast by radio from Victoria, northern general headquarters, as- serted today that Bilbao's fall de- pended entirely on the order of the high command - that 1t could be taken in matter of hours or in a month. It was explained that Bii- bao was no longer considered an im- portant military objective and that the NationalistS considered it more important to strike at Santander, to the west, while defenses there were upset by the retreat of the Loyalist army and the refugees pouring in.
 Loyalist radio stations in Cata- lonia broadcast threat that "as soon as foreign airplanes in the rebels service begin the destruc- tion of Bilbao, the order will be given for hundred Loyalist planes to destroy the Qualifications of zara- goza regardless of damage they might do in the center of the city Zaragoza is the great Nationalist general headquarters in the north east.

 Mystery Explosion
 Valencia, Spain, June 18. - CUP) - Loyalist authorities ordered an urgent investigation today of mys- terious explosion which crippled the Jaime Primero, only battleship in the Spanish navy, and caused more than 120 casualties. The battlesh.p was in harbor at Cartagena, the great southeast coast naval base yesterday afternoon when terrific explosion occurred. Fire ragged through the ship and was put out only after a fight of many hours Rescue workers took off more than 100 wounded and found IS bodies Loyalist authorities believed there must be more in the ships interior
 It was announced that the explo- sion was an internal one. Some evidence of it's nature may be ob- tained from a film which by coinci- dence was being taken at the mo- nent of the explosion. An official aboard control ship of the h. ternational Neutrality Committee was taking film of the ship at the moment of the explosion and he also took pictures of early rescue work
