ISHMAEL FLORY ADDRESSES
MEETING

Ishmael P. Flory, secretary
treasurer of the Joint Council of
Dining Car Employees, addressed
special meeting of Ladies' Aux
iliary to Local SIC, Friday, July
%, at the home of Mrs. Eugene
Shepherd of 1920 18th Ave. So.
cit was first thought that edu-
cation would solve the Negro prob
lem," said Mr.. Flory, "but this is
not true since there is no basic
freedom for Negroes. Today, one
of the most important ways that
women can bring about this free
dom, is to back up their men one
hundred per cent in their effort to
organize in labor unions. One of
the things we must do, is to find
common problem, to which we
can unite; such as the Scottboro
Case, which is really the struggle
of all Negro people, or the Anti
Lynching Bill, which is a struggle
for our rights as stated in the 18th,
18th and 18th amendments, from
which we have no benefit"
Speaking further, Mr.. Flory said
that in this section of the north
west, Is to 80 per cent of the Ne
groes are dining car employees
and are the most stable economic
group in this area; therefore, the
leaders of the local organization
should be able to come forth with
opinions that should demand re-
spect and support and have a def
mite influence on the progress of
the Negro people.
eff labor doesn't organize we
will have fascism, which holds no
place for Negroes" Flory told his
listeners.
A social hour followed the adj
dress.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-13
They Were There, Too

Although it has been temporarily post poned due to Democratic state conven- ton in Groton today and tomorrow, we can expect a resumption of the Wilbur L. Cross-Jasper McLevy set-to shortly. You recall that the two have exchanged words over responsibility for delay In the Merritt Parkway scandal coming to light. The governor is convinced that he would have brought the matter to head long ago were it not for the fact that his ap- pointment of former Commissioner John A. Macdonald in 1888 was forced by a coalition of Republican and Socialist State Senators.
 The last word in the "scrap" was ut- tered by Mayor McLevy in the course of remarks at Kiwanis Club luncheon in New Haven last week. By way of an aside he said, "Last week in this city certain political contemporary of mine told an audience that the Socialists are responsi- ble for the delay in the Merritt Parkway scandal coming into the open. l can't see how any act of ours could be responsi- ble for the delay. It was just a case of the governor not knowing what was going on in this state department"
 Which is probably quite true and one reason he may not have known all that was going on was the fact that 1t was under the supervision of Republican official. But the main fact is that in 1883 when there was an opportunity for the governor to make change in the head of the department he was prevented from so doing by the three Socialist Sen- ators playing politics" This is too well known to be denied and Bridgeport papers think that the three did well to play the game as eXpeditiouSly and suc- cessfully as they did.
 At the same time 1t strengthens the governors position in his claim about the delay in finding out all the facts in con- nection with the Merritt Parkway.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-13
Democrats Show Strength

No matter what the ticket may be selected at the Democratic state conven- tion at Eastern Point tomorrow the party is admittedly in strong and strategic position. It enters the 1888 campaign buoyed up by a series of successes cul- minating in the overwhelming landslide of 1886. It has the advantage of offering to the voting public candidates in whom the public is interested and has consider able confidence. The psychological fac- tor of being 'in", too, is one that can't be overlooked The Democrats are "ln";; they should do nothing to become "out".
 However, Senator Francis T. Maloney can be counted upon tonight to set the party on the right road to further suc- cesses. As keynoter he will be his usual vigorous self and give the HOO delegates the proper amount of advice and timely suggestions necessary to carrying out Q program on Wednesday that will put the party on edge for the November contest. The orderly business of renominating Senator Augustine Lonergan, Governor Wilbur L.. Cross need not be tiresome process, but rather fulsome expression of Democratic confidence in their ability to continue a liberal and successful re- gime.
 Democrats have much to be thankful for that their party is so well fortified. for the coming election. They are equipped with the leaders and with the represen. tatives. It is not necessary for us to re' mind Democrats of this city that the party here is necessarily dependent to considerable extent on state success to come. We have recently ventured on program designed to restore party har- Inony; we cannot help but feel that vic. tory in the state election this fall will go far to promote this local program.
