DISPUTE HEARD BY STATE BOARD
Button Company Officials, Brass Workers Union
 Present Evidence

The state board of mediation and arbitration will meet with represen- tatives of the Waterbury Brass Workers union and the Waterbury Button Company at 2 o'clock this afternoon in Hartford to discuss the six-day-old strike of molding de- partment employees of the Water- bury Button Company.
 Tickets continued to patrol the factory area today, despite the pelt- ing rains. Union officials said that the picketing would continue until the strike was settled.
 Prof. Clyde O. Fisher, A. c. Full Ter and Morgan R. Mooney are ex- pected to confer with the represen- tatives of the disputing factions. It is reported that the point most disputed in the employees demands is the Scents an hour raise. The union also seeks seniority rights and written contract.
 The strikers met last night and voted to continue their strike.

Dyer said some of the injured passengers were sent to Yuma aboard the undamaged cars of the Argonaut.
 Coaches of the Californian which had not been derailed were sent in the other direction with other in- jured passengers and the bodies of the dead, he said.
 There seem to be about 40 in- jured, some of them not hurt so badly, however" said Dyer.
 Three Women Dead
 Dr. A. H. Foster of Brawley, Cal said three of the dead were women He identified two of them as Mrs. G. A. Hall and Mrs. Emma Hall Loma Linda, Cal. Both were de- capitated.
 He said the third dead woman was from New York. He did not know her name.
 Tt was a big jam-up of railroad cars, with people pinned inside" Foster said. "One elderly woman was caught there, uninjured but calling for help. They had to use acetylene torches to cut her out.
 Injured passengers pinned inside the coaches were screaming. Res- cuers were using acetylene torches to cut the steel of the cars and free them"
 Dr. Foster said the two injured mail clerks were found when res- cuers cut through the twisted steel plates and girders of the mail car.
 They were still cutting into the cars hunting for third clerk when I left" he said.

possibility of brief stand by Czechoslovakia against his war nla- chine should the Czechs refuse to give up the Sudeten area or precipi- tate a war. He does not figure on any aid by any nation to Czechoslo- vakia.
 Insight of Hitler
 Hitler's victory over Great Bri- tain and France re-emphasized his remarkable political insight. He read with uncanny accuracy their fundamentally untenable politica. and military situations. This enabled him to seize his opportunity boldly, to gamble against the overwhelming coalition which would be opposed to him in general war, and to win hands down.
 His triumph gives him the un- challenged, predominant political and military leadership of Europe.
 With Czechoslovakia dismembered and rendered militarily impotent, that nation, founded by the Ver- sailes treaty as a bulwark against the extension of German influence through middle Europe, ceases to black Hitler's economic and political domination as far as the Black Sea.
 Another Treaty Shackle Broken
 He filings off, also, another shackle of the Versailles treaty.
 With Czechoslovakia's dismember |. ment, now apparently all but an &C., complished fact, Hitler crashes through Frances system of alliances, designed to encircle Germany on the east and prevent extension of German influence in the Balkans.
 Hitler's victory means the collapse of the French Gordon Sanitaire" behind Germany on which, after the World War, she spent billions of francs in loans and in furnishing military equipment to her Central European allies. Hitler gets even the Sudetic mountains defenses on which the Czechs themselves had spent millions. Now they will be Hitler's - a defense line, or jump ing off line, against Czechoslovakia.

Four Legislators To

a former New Haven county corn- missioner, is accused of receiving . similar amount. Senator Spiro, who has pleaded guilty, was charged with receiving 800 shares, worth $2,000.
 Although the men were charged with the violations in the grand jury's report of May 19, which im- plicated 27 other men on charges of conspiring to defraud this city, they were not arrested until June 2, when MT. Alcorn applied for bench warrants at the Hartford superior court.
 Surrendered at Once
 They surrendered immediately, and were freed upon posting bonds of $500 each. Demurrers to the charges were filed by Rep. Hickey and Thoms, but Judge Robert L.. Munger overruled them from the bench after hearing arguments. At that time he continued the matters until today, when the accused voiced pleas of innocence to the charges.
 The information as lodged by Spe- cial Prosecutohr Alcorn against Senator Daly is as follows. It is typical of all the informations:
 Matthew A. Daly, being then and there a member of the general as- sembly of 1885, did accept and re- ceive by transfer from one Daniel J. Leary of Waterbury, Connecti- cut, 200 shares of the common cap- ital stock of the Electric Steam Sterilizing Company, Inc, Dela- ware corporation, then of the value of $500, in return for supporting a certain measure entitled An Act Concerning Sterilization of All Pulp lie Lavatories and Toilets" and amendments thereto then and there pending before said general assem- ply, and being section 930C of the supplement of the Connecticut Gen. eral Statutes, approved June IS, 1885,"
 Counsel in Cases
 Counsel who will appear for the accused are, Attorney John F. Me- Donough of Waterbury for Senator Lawlor; Attorney James w. Car- penter of Hartford for Rep. Thoms;

 Thus he would be able, in ex- plaining why he and Premier Edo- uard Daladier agreed to aid Hitler in his plan to dismember Czechoslo- vakia, to hold forth hope of a real consolidation of peace.
 But there was an undercurrent of anger in London and the country generally which made 1t certain that he would not go unchallenged, even though he was certain parliamen- tary support.
 Churchill, Eden Angry
 It was learned in most reliable quarter today that Winston Chur- chill, dissident conservative lead- CT, and Anthony Eden, who resigned as foreign secretary because of the governments policy of giving in to the totalitarian rulers, were consid- ing an attack in which they would have the support not only of the labor and liberal opposition but of some conservative members of the House of Commons.
 Churchill and Eden were said to hold that Britain had made-as the informant put it-"an ignominious surrender to Hitler.p
 Some of the revolt" members assert that Chamberlain. gave Hitler even more than the Nazi fuehrer asked, that he "threw unasked con- sessions in his lap"
 Listened to Hitler
 As regards the Godesberg meet ing, it was recalled that Chamber lain went to Berchtesgaden last week ostensibly to tell Hitler the British viewpoint, and instead spent about two hours out of & total of 2h listening to Hitler tell him what he intended to have, and at once.
 Hence there was a natural sus- picion that when Chamberlain meets Hitler, the fuehrer might have an- other surprise for him in the way of additional demands.
 But the feeling was growing that Hitler was now pleased, and that as the result the meeting there there would be a feast of good fel- lowship from which Chamberlain would emerge to announce that he and Hitler had agreed to 6 program of peace consolidation. Nobody in Britain wants war, and this would give Chamberlain a telling argu- ment in his expected speech in com mons.

or WPA employment, but that the city was not relieved of entire bur- den by these improved employment conditions.
 Cases Decrease
 Report for August, however, shows that 96 fewer families sought relief than in July; that the case load of 1889 of July has been decreased to l,544.
 On full relief last month were l. 278 persons, as against l,517 in July: on partial relief, 4,197 compared with 4,335 receiving this aid the pre- Vious month.
 Thus, in spite of the increase of WPA jobs during July and the early part of August, welfare officials find that the burden has been slightly depreciated, although the mark still is near record high, in terms of even the peak of the depression as 1t created diversity in 1885.
 Tabulation of all persons deriving relief shows 5,677 for August, 6,053 in July, a noticeable drop, when the gradual increase since last October is figured; an increase that some months jumped by hundreds, other months, during seasonal spurts of employment or opening of alrge WPA projects, crawled upwards, in terms of Waterbury's citizens suc- cumbing to necessity for outside help.

forecast, Poland would quickly fall into the German orbit, despite her alliance with France. Hungary already is moving into the German orbit. The process of disintegratio1 of the Little Entente, consisting of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugo- slavia, would be speeded up.
 Thus, 1t appears, an entirely new diplomatic realignment is com mencing in Central Europe at once, entailing the evaporation of British French influence and its replace ment by German influence.
 Hitler's triumph was achieved by well nigh perfect functioning of his technique of bloodless psychological war;. This entailed continual un- relenting attack on the nerves of Britain and France by dangling the threat of war before them, and by unremitting attacks on Czechs nerves by an Unprecedented press campaign against 'them-followed by the biggest military assembly since the World War under the guise of maneuvers.
 Hitler Wasn't Bluffing
 There is not ore iota of doubt that Hitler was not bluffing. He intended to take military action against the Czechs if his objectives were not obtained by peaceful methods.
 And unless the Czechs knuckle down completely, Hitler Is still pre- pared to use force.
 Tens of thousands of men are still being called up. Foreign Inili- tary authorities estimate that by the end of September at least 1,500,- 900 men will be under arms.
 By these methods, which consti- ute a new technique in the appli- cation of force, Hitler forced Bri- tain and France to do his work for hirn.
 The mass of Germans are still ignorant today of what really hap pened. The press continued to banner line Czech atrocities as & continuation of the attack on Czech nerves. The newspapers relegate to minor position meager and impre- else reports of the British-F French decisions.
 Berliners I saw at 2 a. m. today, streaming from the Unter Den Lin- den subway station, revealed no ex- traordinary emotion. Obviously they were immersed in the normal pre- occupations of humanity cvery- where - food, love, shelter.
 Last night foreigners were still departing owing to war fears. Some American correspondents are send- ing their families out.
 Berliners caught glimpse of one of the elements of warfare today when a convoy of camouflaged mil itary ambulances roared through Unter Den Linden.
