 He further reminded the con- radeS, that had it not been for the victory of the Fascists at Vittorio Veneto and the Armistice of Nevem- Der 4th many of us American Vet erans would not be here honoring our flalen comrades, others probably would be honoring us as dead.
 Pape Does Not Explain
 William Pape does not explain, what recompense Italy got from her allies for her 100000 World War dead, and for saving the allies from distaster.
 He is not concerned about the dirty deal Italy got from his land of birth. Now he seems to be com mitted to a campaign of hatred against Mussolini and the Fascists, who liberated Italy from Englands Imperialism.
 As to the editorial criticism of National Commander Doherty oi the American Legion, for not in- cluding Fascism as a peril to Amer ica, MT. Pape loses sight of the fact that about 100000 American Veter' ans are of Italian extraction.
 About 5000 are L,emberS of tht American Legion, and most of Il! Veterans of Italian extraction who belong to the Legion admire Musso- lini and his form of government for what they have accomplished.
 Further Reminder
 He further reminded them that right here in Waterbury there is a group initiating under different names like the Peace League, League of Nations and other asso- citations, who are carrying on a cam paign of criticism against Fascism and are advocating our alliance with England.
 These people must be reminded that American lives will not be so easily given to the cause of Imper- qlism and Capitalism, under the cretext of the hypocritical name of Democracy.
 We know, we did not go into the last war to save Democracy. We went over to save Imperialism and our financiers.
 AS a rebuke to the Americans criticism, a motion was then adopted to indorse the statements of Ma tional Commander Doherty and send him a copy"

A day that promised swell time

held death for one and sorrow for
the other.
John, 8, and Joseph, II, were on
the first day OF their summer yaca-

Their fun at Kingman's Lake, on
Benning Road N. E., was short.
The. hfelesS body of John was

and Joseph, who tried to save him
from drowning, was sent to Cas-

A l7-year-old co1ored youth was
credited today with preventing a

Let 'em co." seemed to be the
attitude on Capitol Hill.
The Unprotected and oft-re,
jected proposal to liberalize the
lending powers of the Reconstruc.
ton Finance Corporation, where
the carriers are concerned,
appeared to be dead, although
there was talk of revival should
the session continue beyond TO-
night.
FOES TO FTLIBUSTER
The loan bill was still on the
Senate calendar today and could
be passed If it could be brought
to a vote. But House leaders were
adamant in the hesdlong rush for
adjournment. They asserted that
even If the Senate did authorize
the RFC to bail out the weaker
roads, it would not receive the
approval Of the House.
In the background were Sena-
tors Borah CR0 of Idaho and
LaFollette PO of Sconsin,
ready to submit lengthy objec-
tionS to the bill unless the car
rierS reScind their order of a Is
per cent wage cut for July /.
Railroad labor, the executives of
which have been meeting here
for a week, are solidly opposed to
the Governments extending any
further credit assistance to the
roads unles they back up on the
wage cut. This the carriers ap-
parently have no intention of do
ing. They say the most they
could hope to get from the RFC,
even under the liberalization pol
icy proposed, would be about $780,
100000. They estimate the wage
cuts will save them approximately
$3.50, 100000.
SPECIAL SESSION UNLIKELY
When Congress quits it will not
meet again until January 8, un-
less President Roosevelt should
call special session, which would
be embarrassing for him, as well
as to the members. A special Ses-
sion before the election in Novem-
Der, in the midst of the campaign,
would be unprecedented. A spe-
cial session after November 8, the
election date, would bring back to
Washington a lame-duck Congress,
W h er in unquestionably there
would be many defeated members.
Hence it appears the next oppor-
tunity for Congress to "do some
thing" for the railroads will be
in the Congress elected in Novem-
Der and convened in January.
The conviction is general I'M
governmental and financial circles
that considerable percentage of
the railroad trackage of the
country is going to be in receiver
ship in the next six months.
Senator Wagner CD of New
York. who revived the RFC loan
bill yesterday and obtained unani-

RECOVERY BILL
DRAWS FIRE OF.
DIXIE SENATORS.
Claim Cotton Farmers
Treated Unfairly

GNS) Sectionalism bobbed up
today in the congressional battle
over the $3.50, 100000 relief,re-
covery bill, with Southern Sena-
tors protesting they had been
treated unfairly on funds carried
for cotton farmers.
Senator Russell CD, Georgia,
one of the leaders in the fight for
adoption of the amendment pro-
viding $212,O0O,OOO for distribu-
ton to cotton, wheat, corn, rice
and tobacco farmers as a contri-
button toward parity prices. con-
ferred with President Roosevelt.
STUMBLING BLOCK
The contest over how the bounty
for the farmers is to be divided
was the only stumbling block in
the way of final passage of the
farflung relief-recovery bill.
AS the bill was passed by the
Senate, which originated the
parity" donations for farmers
who cooperate in the Govern
ment's crop control program. $102,-
100000 was provided for cotton
farmers; $52,000000 for corn
growers and $4,000, 900 for wheat
producers.
Senator Russell sponsored the
which Department Of
experts helped him
draft, but the House, while ap-
proving the $212,000,O00 fund,
changed the formula for distribu-
ton resulting in his division of the
NEW DIVISION
Cotton, $50, 100000; corn. $68,.
100000, and wheat, $532, 200, 900,
with allowance for bounties to
rice and tobacco producers as
carried in the Senate bill.
There have been complaints
that the corn farmers have sold
the cotton farmers down the
river" Senator Adams CD of
Colorado declared.
The only other item in the bill
in dispute was whether the Rural
E e C rification Administration
shall be given an additional $780,
900 for administrative expenses as
voted by the House, or $1,000,000
as voted by the Senate.

executive Of labor's non partisan
league.
Silencing his associates who
stood talking among themselves
nearby, Lewis spoke slowly:
I'VE asked the Speaker to
recognize a motion to suspend
the rule and vote on the Walsh
Healey bill. The Speaker was
disinclined to grant the request.
I'VE advised him we repre-
sented several millions Of Ameri-
cans and that they had a right
to know how their paid repre-
Sentatives in Congress stood on
this bill. We advised him
further that we did not believe
that the Rules Committee had
exercised it's proper function in
setting itself up as a super
legislative agency to block the
bill.
RIGHT TO VOTE
I'VE hold that Congress has a
right to vote on that measure
and the people have a right to
know how congress stands. In a
short time congress will ad-
journ and many of the members
will return to their districts
seeking support as friends of
labor. We want to know how
good a friend they are before
we give them our support.
I'VE think it rather cowardly
for congress to hide behind the
Rules Committee which is un-
friendly to labor and notoriously
friendly to corporations. There
is no doubt about it, the Rules
Committee is under the cor
porate lash.
This is the second instance
Of this character. The Rules
Committee blocked the wage
hour bill and suffered seeing it
taken away from them by the
House. We are confident this
would occur again on this bill
If time permitted.
'"The action Of the Rules Com
mittee is coWardly and puSil-
luminous. We think the Demo
cratic House organization should
do something about it.

He said he would give the mat

cision will be is for him to say"
