The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-08

Accusing the rich of Waterbury with failing to support the Mutual Aid, placing blame for the How ebb'' of business on 1big business" two officers of Waterbury Committee for Industrial Organiza tion unions held a colloquy last night on the To- 5scal airwaves. Then g.1lpS of the membership adjourned" to the meeting of the board of aldermen where a further protest" against municipal authorities was developed to the cheers of the membership.
 John J. DriScoll, paid recording secretary of the Waterbury Brass Workers union, CIO affiliate, and Harold E. Senior, president of the Waterbury Newspaper Guild, also 8 CIO affiliate, were on the air last night in a program of the Brass < Workers union, broadcast over sta- tion WATR after the following an- nouncement: The comments and views presented in this broadcast are not necessarily those of this station" ]"
 Respects Law
 After commenting on the aspects of a probable grand jury action," which, he said, made the subject one not to be considered. .'The CIO and it's union have always respected the law and its processes. ."Dris- coil asked Senior, Have you any ideas, Harold" Whereupon ensued reading of dialogue, some of which was deleted by someone.
 On tho GcI1oOocfiny1U If I,i partner in dialogue, DriScoll, went into the welfare situati ton" in Wa terbury. Here are some of the ex- cerpts from the available "copy"::.

And you can take it from me. there are thousands of people in this city today who really are up against it really pitiful cases that know of personally.
 Senior interpolates question about the union and Driscoll says welfare department most courteous and sympathetic.

Of course, it should have much larger appropriation. It was inter- esting to me the other day to note that man we all knew who died few weeks ago, left an estate of quarter of a million dollars. He was regarded as only moderately well off by the real wealthy people of this city-he was one of those wllo was practically cleaned out in tho stock market crash of '29-but the amount of money he left was more than the welfare department has at its disposal to operate on for a full year and provide relief for thousands of persons. Obviously there's something wrong with syS- ten that allows man who is only moderately well off in the minds of the rich. to accumulate quarter of a million dollars (deletions). :.

 Driscoll: Hal, I've often wondered how. wealthy people feel when they see their neighbor- citizens in real want, probably lacking the means to properly feed. clothe and shelter themselves. Do you suppose they ever feel a little sorry for their tellowmen and little uncomfortable in their own conscience?
 Senior: I don'st imagine. John, that wealthy people ever really give full thought or consideration to the problems of the poor. If they did, and being human, they'd do some thing about it. The burdens of sup porting the poor are largely left to
