Brass Conference
 With Union Planned

Workers, which is in turn CIO af- filiate.
 MT. Gonzalez's statement follows:
 We are here at the beheSt of Alex Cashin, regional director in charge of the organization of brass workers. Our purpose here is to in- tensify the organizational activity in the brass factories in the Naugatuck valley, as we'll as in other sections" !"
 Tn my opinion. recent wage cuts are entirely unjustifiable on the basis of earnings of the brass com panies during the past few years"
 This is poor time to decrease buying power and lower wages have never been a stimulus to national welfare"
 Tn regard to the situation at the American Brass Co.,, strenuous ef- forts are being put forth to bring about national conference of rep resentatives of the CIO, the A. F. of L. and independent unions with executives of the American Brass Co.,"
 "The response of brass workers to our call ill the face of recent wage cuts is most gratifying, and we are looking forward to complete organization of all Connecticut brass workers within a very short period"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-11

"Strenuous efforts" are being made to arrange a conference between American Brass Go. executives and representative of union employees in all its plants, declared Jess Gonzalez, member of the executive board of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, in a statement today. MT. Gonzalez ar- rived in Waterbury today from Bal timore, Md, accompanied by James Robinson, regional director of the union for Michigan, where it has members in the American Brass Co.'S Detroit plant.
 Wage cuts in factories, MT. Con- zalez declared are detrimental to the public welfare, since they de- crease buying power. They are not necessary in view of the profits made by factories in recent years, he as- serted. The cuts, he said, have awak- ened many workers to the value of union organization and large mem bership gains have been reported. He predicts that all brass workers in the state will soon be organized.
 The Waterbury Brass Workers union, which recently supported strike at the American Brass Co.,, is affiliated with the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter

Challenging a statement from the chairman of the publicity commit tee in charge of the plans to me- moralizc the late Gabriel D'Annun- zio Murno, local resident, today gave his version of a meeting held last week. The meeting adjourned abruptly. A difference of opinion arose over the selection of a chair man. Nicholas Zappone. secretary of the Italian Federation, and chair man of the publicity committee issued a statement approved by Major Michael J. Gallulo, president. MT. Murno countered with the fol- lowing statement:
 "The writer of the story pub lished ill The Waterbury Democrat in relation to the Italian -Ameri- can societies split on d'AnnunZio commemoration must have a good deal of imagination. In fact he invented a controversial argumen- tation between representatives of various associations with NunZio Murno leading the attack against the nomination of MT. Schiappa as chairman of the general com- mittee; and to make the story more dramatical injected in it supposed concerted action in favor of the nomination of Albert Fer ratti, president of the Sons Of Abruzzo society and acting pro- visional chairman in conducting the meeting, by the venerables of the local Lodges of the Sons of Italy III America.
 The nature of the writing is to be deplored because it constiti- tutes false presentation of facts for the clear purpose of smoke screening the condemnable action of the representatives officials of the Italian American Federation of Society and clubs, that with spon- soring the nomination of MT. Schiappa, vice president of the Abruzzo society, fomented dis sension among the members of the society, dissenSion already alimented in the Auxiliary or ganization. It is to be deplored even more because that writer and the other federation affiliated

 And when the hospital in New town is finished, I can guarantee you there will never be any need for grand jury investigation" refer ring to the Bridgeport grand jury investigation.
 High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin of New Haven County caused the crowd to roar with laughter as he told of his experiences as high sheriff of New Haven County.

 In bringing the affair to close, MT. Beckwith said, addressing the county committee: Gentlemen, it is up to you whether we win the coun- ty for the Democrats Now is the time to lay our foundation. We must gird our Joins because we are going to have a most difficult task on our 1 hands, we must have. above all things, smooth harmony within our group, you should be proud that you are Democrats, you should be proud of the record the Democrats have made, both in Washington and Hartford.

And I assure you that if am elect ed high sheriff I will guarantee at all times and under all conditions, the efficient conduct of my office.

Figured at $80 a month, when the report of the welfare department was intended to show that families on relief derived slightly more than $20 a month as an average, the pro- ject of city participation in WPA work at Waterbury schools attained new nucleus of discussion today.
 S2O,0O0 Asked
 It was at the board of finance meeting Thursday that members o1 the school board sought $2O,O00 plus to retain about no persons on WPA projects. At that time, the welfare department was asked what the cost of caring for this number of relief recipients for the remain ing eight and one"half months of the year would be.
 The report came back, $74,8O0 based on the erroneous calculation of $50 a month, instead of about S2O. The total had been figured at $2O weekly, instead of $20 monthly.
 Thus, the saving implied by pro- NlulllS 1Ol dppiOl'l AaVAOAl VI e'''NN $21 ,OO0 from the welfare department to continue work for the WPA lab orers, estimated at about 5000, dwindled to approximate cancella- tion today. Welfare officials remark ed, however that it would be bet ter to have the money spent ln keeping the no persons at work.
 Criticism Flares
 Capital was made of the $8O per month figure on the assumption ot it's accuracy by those subjecting city departments to criticism but this, too, today was refuted by announce ment of the correct figuring of eX- pense. While the welfare depart ment is handling peak load of two years, 1,228 individuals and families, the March total has been the highest normally ill the years figures.

49 Degrees! Temper a ture Here Drops to 26 During
 Night Easter Pa rade Plans Go For ward.

While spring spread over some sections of southern New Eng land, Waterbury's temperamental temperature fell into a slough ot late winter recordings and the low mark hereabouts last night was 26 degrees, six under freezing.
 Instead of tulips on the Green and robins, the starlings held court at noon, chirping lustily III spite of the 49-degree mark on the official thermometer.
 Meanwhile, school children planned for Easter holidays ana shoppers went ahead with pur- chase of Easter outfits, all appar- entlv willing to subscribe to opti- naistic faith in spring being Just around the corner.
 Anglers prepared for the open ing of the fishing season Friday and stores displaying tackle drew interested passersby, as did other windows in which round white balls were heaped alongside such articles as brassieS, mid-ironS ana mashies, not to mention drivers and other sometimes satisfactory implements for clouting the pill down the fairway and over the green.
 The feel of spring persisted with the bright sunlight but not vet have Waterburians taken seri- ously the thought of shedding oyercoats and those long-legged i:npediments to comfort for ,Ihich some persist in predilection.

had a reunion previously of the meeting in discussion at which, most probable. was formulated the only planned action performed during the meeting.
 The truth, instead, is only one; and it can be attested by many present neutral persons.
 MT. Ferretti was nominated by the president of the "Societa Ope- raia,' Angelo Manganiello and seconded by the president-d delegate of the Italian War Veterans Aux Hilary, Mrs. Mae Cammerano. The venerables of the local Sons Of Italy Lodges, were receptive to it, but they had nothing to do with the matter. It is to be noted that in many similar occasions the head of the promoting or ganization was always chosen as chairman for the proposed affalro
 MT Murno only spoke when in consideration Of a confusioned and warm discussion he called the attention of the chair to the con- tent of the letter of invitation sent to all organization presidents and in Which-contrary to the as sertion of the Federation secretary. MT. Zappone-no mention was made for the attendance of any specified number of delegates. For that reason it was evident that being the presidents the only invited to the formation Of the general committee they, or their direct representative, had the right to be nominated as officials and to vote for their election. That restriction would have elim- mated the majority of the present, including MT. Murno himself.
 Tt was MT. DePastino who re- sented the call and precipitated, with his incomprehension and a vulgar personal attack to the speaker, the stern action of the Sons of Abruzzo president.
 The suddenness of the closing of the meeting is to be regretted but the responsibility must be directly placed on the shoulders ol those that had to know better than that of creating and fomenting with their outspoken action dis sension among the members of a fraternal organization, and to de- liberately provoke the drastic pro nouncement of M. Ferretti, with their verbose, personal attack against a member of the Sons ol Abruzzo society.
 Incidentally the program pre- pared by the special committee O. the Sons of Abruzzo included presentation by the leading Italian actress, Mimi Aguglia, O. the tragedy La Figlia di Iorio th' most inspired dramatical creation of Gabrielle d'Annunzio; a com memorative oration by we'll known student of d'Annunzlo' large contribution to the Italian literature, and an offering of complete collection of d'AnnunZi' books to the Silas Bronson library with the possibility of enlargin' the donation with books of man. other Italian authors.
 Eventually all that will be en deavored by the Sons of Abruz7 society with the helpful hands o other societies of the same denom ination existing in the Connecticu state, and with the cooperation o many ether Waterbury Italian American organizations"
