HARTFORD UNION LABOR PROGRAM
To Oppose Senator Loner- gan, Will Support Cross,
 Rooms Joseph Tone

Hartford, Conn, July 2. = (UP) = The Hartford Central Labor Union today "condemned" U. s. Senator Augustine Lonergan and called on President Roosevelt and all Ameri- can Federation of Labor unions in Connecticut to oppose his renomina- tion. The action was an open revolt against William Green, president of the A. F. of L., who last week called for renomination and reelection of Lonergan, 8 conservative. In Lon- ergan's place, the local Central Union, with a 15,000 membership, endorsed Congressman Herman P. Kopplemann "who has been out in front fighting for the New Deal" For governor, the union asked re- election of Governor Wilbur L. Cross "who has steered our ship of state for eight years and has en- deared himself to all citizens by his progressive views, his fairness and devotion to office"
 Will Support Tone
 For lieutenant-governor, the union supported the candidacy of State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone "who has proven himself time and again, the friend of labor, who has won the respect and goodwill of the people of Connecticut, who has proven ability as an administrator.
 The move by the local unions presaged bitter convention battle when the Connecticut Federation of Labor holds its annual convention at Bridgeport in September.
 Accompanying strongly -worded resolution, letter was sent to more than 250 local A. F. of L., unions in Connecticut by local leaders urging institution of the direct primary in the state instead of the present con- vention method of nominating can- didateS

Time had so ruthlessly gone past them
both.
He said: Anything amusing in the
newspaper? May 1 see it, if you're
through, Father?"
mot through" His father picked
it up again.
Keith made himself drink his cof-
fee calmly. The daily irritation of
that single newspaper, insisted upon
by his father, had by repetition near
ly lost it's force-as so many things
had lost their force in the long con-
flict of their life together. Only the
fact at the root of that conflict had
power still.
He looked up to the mantelpiece
behind his fathers head, and to the
portrait of his mother Mary Sheldie
hanging there. He had her lovely
looks; there was no doubt of that. The
thought, as always, gave him kind
of wry amusement. For he had no
feeling about her (since he'd never
seen her to remember herr stronger
than a kind of respect, mingled with
curiosity. How had she managed
courage to defy his father at last!
That dark gentle glance of her did
not tell him, nor the shy, wistful
smile of her curving red mouth.
Mary Lane she'd been, only child
of excellent people without a great
deal of money. Eighteen years old
when his father swooped into her life
like an eagle. Keith Sheldie, Junior,
who sometimes considered himself
cursed with too much Imagination,
could we'll enough imagine that WOO
ing-that his father, who was not
young even then, but must have had
great charm Gas he had in his rare
good moods a charm about him still)
set about acquiring her as he had al
ready acquired so many railroads
mines and companies; that he must
have impressed that slender girl ire
mendously, with the very drive of his
nature; and that, married to her, he
must occasionally have terrified hel
with his wild RACES, and neglected her
between times while he was pursuing
his pirates career of adding fortune
to fortune =.
At any rate, when her son was
less than a year old, she had run
away with man who had given her
singing lessons. Perhaps she loved
him. More probably he represented
escape. No one seemed to know. For
that one mad desperate effort at de-
fiance took all her strength, so she

pitied his father, and forgave him so
many things, for so many years. A
thought that might have comforted
him never occurred to him at all

old, implied a kind of strength.

did you want to marry Denise
Rendale?" he asked.
That surprised Keith. He was not
aware that his father paid sufficient
attention to his comings and goings tt
know with whom he spent his time
He was so surprised that he did not
notice the form of the question i'm
mediately, and answered from his

more than few weeks later, she was
i'll. She was dead of pneumonia be-
fore her running away was more than
a whispered scandal in that pre-war
New York that took it's scandals SO
much more seriously. When she was
dead, Keith Sheldie, Senior, brought
her home to lie in the Sheldie mauso-
leum.
And her son would never have
known the story, had it not happened
that once, when he was ten, after one
of his fathers storms that had been
particularly violent, the old house.
keeper told him it's outline, in some
effort to make him understand why
his father hated him.
The rest he'd learned in a word
here and there over the years, though
not from his father, ever. Sometimes
his father did not mention his moth
er's name for months together. Then
he would announce, day after day Gas
if he could not even yet forgive herr,
that she had been "soft." But he Of
fered no more serious criticism to her
memory.
Through all the time he'd been
growing up, the strangest knowledge
grew in Keith beside the knowledge
of that story! That he could not es-
cape his father, just because his moth
er had. She had left an arrogant
man, in the prime of his life. He
would be abandoning an old man who
clustered a great deal, in the effort
to conceal that he was broken, under
! the screen of his arrogance-hac
been broken, probably since dark
slender girl left his house and his for
tune and his power.
Long since probably at about the
time of her death), his father had re-
tired from active participation in al
his companies, except the origina

tended his son to follow him; anC
even that he had given up, since Keith
announced he meant to be a painter
That single defiance he'd achieved
and he had the curious feeling that il
he could even play at work he liked
he could better manage to endure the
years, and his slow-growing self-con'
