The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-21

Amid mild controversy over ways and means but in an atmosphere which accentuated constructive en- terprise rather than political pur- pose, members of Waterbury's most important commissions met last night at the mayors office to at tempt an outline whereby the most may be sheared from city expense immediately.
 First off, Finance Commissioner Major w. Judge remarked on the falsification of reports concerning the meeting of the subcommittee of the board of aldermen with his committee, saying:
 Stories in the public prints have been to the effect that this meeting has political aspect and that there is question of voting on some of our considerations along political lines. I want to correct that in1- pression right here. This meeting has no place for politics"
 Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello, who had been offered a "popcycle" or something, by radio announcer if he would vote with the Republicans, concurred in this sentiment, remarking:
 ... -,.. .. Silly Idea
 q don't see how anyone could get such silly idea about what we're trying to do."'
 From this point throughout the meeting, even slightly pointed ref erence to matters political was quashed by nearly unanimous agree ment. The members welcomed com ment by Mayor Frank Hayes on conditions pertaining to depart mental affairs and the finance board on Thursday will hear from the

CLAIM MADE AGAINST
 . LOCAL POLICE
City Court Case Continued to Allow Accused PatrOl-
 men to Testify

Claims in city court this morning that a policeman made arrests without provo cation and that a man ar- rested was refused permission at police headquarters to call a doctor or a lawyer led Judge Edward Mascolo to suspend the hearing of a case to allow time for police men to be called to defend themselves. i, John Creel, 26, of 147 Norton street, who was arrested week ago last night on charges of intoxica- ton and breach of the peace, claimed that he was arrested with out sufficient reason, as was also companion, Webb Brice, 32, of Bald win street, who is charged with in- toxication, breach of the peace, and resistance.
 Creel claimed Patrolman Anthony Mole arrested him when he asked the reason for Brice being placed lnder arrest.
 It was further claimed by Creel that at police headquarters he was first booked only for intoxication, md that when he offered to post a cash bond of $50 for his release, Pa trolman Mole added the breach of the peace charge, saying, "ThatIl hold him.. Greet also alleged that bis requests that doctor and lawyer be called were ignored, and that his brother was not allowed to post bond for his release.
 Creel claimed, too, that Patrol man Mole and sergeant (un- named) rushed" him into a cell while he was still claiming his rights.
 Judge Mascolo continued the case until Wednesday of next week to al- low the policemen an opportunity to appear to defend themselves against Creers allegations.
 Police witnesses will be Patrolman Ralph Belloisy and Patrolman Ber- hard O'Loughlln, who also LOOK part in the arrests, and Sergeant William Santoro, who is understood to have been on duty at the time the prisoners were booked.
 The only state witness today was Pltrolman Mole, who said he ar rtsted Creel and Brice when they refused to obey his order to move OH as they were making a dis turbance on West Main street, near Meadow street. Several other men at the scene left, he said.
 Patrolman Mole said he had re- ccived a complaint from neighbor about the noise, and that when he approached the men they were talk ing loudly and were burning shirt which had been soaked in gaso- line.
 ! Brice, according to the police man, resisted arrest, and he had to use his club on him. Brice, he said, asked Greet to hold a pack age containing two bottles, while take care of this guy"

Garment Company Seeks
Maintenance OF Injunction
Against Garment Workers

ST. Paul, Mimi. (ILNS) Former
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
has just argued case for his wife
before the Circuit Court of Appeals
sitting here. Senator Reeds wife
owns the Donnelly Garment Company
of Kansas City; and he was defend
ing a temporary injunction granted
against the international Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union to keep them
from organizing the Donneily plant.
Senator Reed charged the !. L. G.
w. u. with interference" and "co-
ercion," and declared that they had
"immeasurably hurt the Donnelly con-
cern by boycott of sales"
Frank P Walsh of New York, gen
eral counsel of the garment workers,
was present, but the chief argument
was made by Roy w Tucker, of Kan
sas City. He declared that the Don
nelly contract with its company union
was grossly unfair and that under
the Wagner Act, the garment workers
have a right to seek to organize the
plant if they please.

THE DISCOVERY THAT COUNTED

Now that Columbus Day is well
over, and the Norsemen and Welsh and
Irish and others have set forth their
claims to the discovery of America,
one fact often overlooked may be
mentioned.
Irish nagivators may have discov-
cred America, though the evidence is
not very convincing. Norsemen GER
tainly did. One Of the most amazing
voyages of all history, more wonderful
even than that of Left the Lucky, must
have been that of those Scandinavian
heroes Of whom we know nothing ex-
cept what is told on the inscription
they left on a glacial boulder in a
marsh of Minnesota.
There are only two ways they could
have got to that place. Either they
SdIleu 10 GUe SOuIHclil emu VI iluOSOtl .
Bay, and marched south; or they
worked their way up the St. Lawrence
past the rapids, built new boat above
Niagara Falls, and marched west and
south from the tip of Lake Superior.
The first alternative is by odds the
more likely; and the inscription says
that they were surrounded by natives.
Undoubtedly they were killed.
But the fact mentioned in the first
paragraph has nothing to do with CO.
lumbus. He may possibly, on his voy-
age to Iceland, heard legends of these
earlier trips. But the fact remains
that he made the effective discovery,
the discovery that was followed by
colonization. To him the white ma
tions of this continent must and will
look back.

dered government employees and labor
everywhere"
Mead was indorsed heartily by the
first state convention of the Ameri-
can Labor Party.
President Roosevelt declared that
the selection of Mead for the short
term in the Senate would be sure OF
popular approval in the state. he
approved all the Democratic ticket,
though saying that he took no active
part in framing it; but gave special
commentator to the denomination OF
Herbert HI. Lehman for governor, Rob-
ert F. Wagner for Senator, and Mead
for Wagner's colleague.

Worker Killed In Quarrel
With Fellow Worker Held
Entitled To Compensation

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Up-
holding decision Of lower court and
the Workmen's Compensation Com
mission, the United States Court of
Appeals has ruled that a workman
killed in quarrel with fellow en-
ploye is entitled to compensation.
In quarrel over their work, Buster
Steadman, bus boy in restaurant,
struck German Jennings, an assistant
cook, with meat cleaver, which re-
suited in the death of Jennings. Stead
man was tried for murder but was ac-
quilted on the grounds of self-defense.
Frank A. Cardillo, county compensa-
tion commissioner, ruled the widow
and minor child were entitled to COM
pensation because the death arose out
of employment. The Maryland Cas-
ualty Company, which held insurance
on the restaurant, appealed to the
District Court to annul the ruling of
the commission, but the court awarded
compensation. The company then ap-
pealed to the higher court, which sus-
tanned the decision of the lower court.
This is said to be the first case of the
kind in the District of Columbia, and
the decision undoubtedly will be used
as a precedent not only in the District
but in states having workmen's COM
pensation insurance laws.

A Good Sign
(From the Labor World, Chattanooga
Tenn0

(From the Labor World, Chattanooga,
Tenn.)
Yesterday while watching the mill
tary parade, we noticed one thing
which we thought was good sign re-
garding the attitude of the public
on war.
While the soldiers were passing
there was no cheering. When the
flag passed, hats were lifted, but the
usual war-like hysteria that greets the
neat uniforms and polished guns was
lacking.
This meant no disrespect to the men
in the uniforms. 1t meant no lack Of
loyalty to our country. 1t simply
meant, we hope, that the public IS
deeply impressed with war-like rum
blings in Europe, and possibly the fear
that maybe we would be propa-
gandized into getting into it damp
ened the exuberance that usually
greets all military parades.
We hope that our people will re-
gard our army as fine and necessary
part of our national defense, but a
part which must not be used except
for defense of home soil.

LABOR SPEAKS FOR AMERICA

Nazism and Fascism got a little of
their "needings" at the A. F. of L.
convention in Houston. The report of
the resolutions committee on these
subjects fairly sizzled President
Green sent a vigorous cablegram to
London protesting against the pro-
posed closing of Palestine to Jewish
immigration as a refuge from Nazi
persecution Matthew Woll roasted
what he rightly considered favor to
Nazi industry by ruling of the
treasury.
And all of them expressed the over
whelming sentiment of the American
people.
No one has commented on it yet;
but not an American newspaper editor
or columnist has defended Hitler's
seizure of Austria or partition of
Czechoslovakia. Some Of them have
laid part of the blame on the treaty
of Versailles; but none have supported
Hitler. In view of the way that some
of these publicists have condoned or
indorsed the brutal strikebreaking tao
tics Of reactionary American employ
ers, this is decidedly inconsistent but
it is also very important.
For it shows the instructive Ameri-
can response to autocratic barbarism
when the mask is off; and the Nazis
have thrown masks away. They have
revived race persecution by their saw
age treatment of the Jews. They have
resorted to class persecution by crush
ing all German labor movements with
a brutality that recalls the crushing of
peasant revolts in the Dark Ages.
They have even made start at re-
igious persecution by imprisoning a
Protestant clergyman and stoning a
Catholic cardinal for not kowtowing

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The plight of German refugees in
Prague is appalling. There are at
least 10000 of them who are all Ger
mans or German Austrians. They
are Germans but not Nazis. Many of
them are Social Democrats; the chief
liberal and labor party of Germany be-
fore Hitler, and now dealt with there
by murder and concentration camps,
which are slow murder. And in addi-
tion to these Germans fleeing from the
German government, the Czechoslo-
vakian government must care for a
still larger number of Czechs driven
out by Hitler's overflow.
About 10000 of these belong to the
German Austrian Refugee Society
which has prayed for help to Sir Neil
Malcolm, commissioner for refugees of
the League of Nations.
IF we are forced to return to Ger
many" they said, ''it will mean death
or at least heavy Imprisonment for
hundreds of us, and concentration
camps for several thousand others"
1t seems a time when immigration
restrictions should be suspended. Ger
tainly, it is time for all forms of pri-
vate charity to come to the front.

lib. from Nebraska, is distinctive, ever

service enough to make the fame of
half dozen men. He stopped two
