Gain in Membership Reported Here Notwithstanding Unemployment Situation Community to Provide
 2396 of Financial Needs For Coming Year

expenditure of $161, ,729 In normal times the annual budget of expendi- lures of the Y. M. c. A. has been about $190,00O.
 The new budget calls for IT per cent of the receipts to come from the members or participants leaving g per cent to be supplied by the community. The allowance for the Central Branch is only r per cent in subscriptions, while the Brooklyn and North Branches require GA per cent public support. The Y. M. c. A. Year Book shows that the average Y. M. c. A. in the United Stataes requires 28 per cent subscription support, thus showing good financial management at the local Y. M. c. A.
 The financial statement at the end of February, shows expenditures for the first ten months of the cur rent year to be $132, ,907, and that de- spite the unusual conditions, the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. has stayed within its budget for the current year, by the close margin of $l27.
 The reports of Departments show ed that the Y. M. c. A. is in close grips with the conditions caused by unemployment. The report of the Membership Committee, which Art hur H. Goepel is chairman, showed the program which is in effect, so that the Y. M. c. A. might be of friendly service to young men out of work, and at the same time main- tain the standards of membership for the Y. M. c. A.. The report show ed that $1,031, has been paid in membership fees, more than a year ago.
 Practically all of this increased membership payment has come from the Young Mems Clubs, most of whose members have either been out of work or on short time. Joseph F. Kenney has been the president of the Inter-Club Council, and the membership committee responsible for this showing has been Carmen DiModugno, Max A. Mueller and George J. Mitchell.
 The report of the committee show ed the increasing loyalty on the part of these groups of young men to the Y. M. c. A., and responsibility for maintaining it for service organi- zation, rather than as an agency, where young men might receive free privileges.

 RALLY SPEAKER
Japanese Success Will Hurt Christian Missions
 in China Says Guest

Should the Japanese succeed in gaining control of China as a re- suit of the present warfare, the cause of Christian missions will be considerably retarded in the land of China, stated John Lindbeck of New Haven at a missionary rally in Zion Evangelical Lutheran church Tues day night.
 MT. Lindbeck also mentioned that his father and mother, who are mis- sionaries in Honan, China, are To- cated in a city which has been sub- jected to considerable aerial attacks, as it is located only ten miles south of the Yellow river, the farthest advance of the army from the north.
 The speaker traced the history of Christian missions in China from the time of the Nestorians in the 9th century to the present day, but pointed out, that it has really only been since 1900 that it has been pos sible to do aggressive mission work as the land of China by customs and conditions was closed.
 At present MT. Lindbeck is stu dent at Yale Divinity School in New Haven, but has spent all of his life except the last three years in China. His purpose is to return to China as teacher and instructor.
 An additional feature of the rally service was the singing fo several vocal solos by Miss Ethel Salmon son of Naugatuck. She was ably &C., companied by Miss Gisslander, also of the rubber city. A short business session of the Women's Missionary society was held after the rally, at which time the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Axel Forsell; vice-president, Mrs. Anna Thomas; secretary, Mrs. c. L. Hal- lenborg; treasurer, Mrs. E. Einar Kron. AS delegate to the annual convention of the New England con- ference, Womens Missionary so- ciety in Naugatuck the last week in April, Mrs. Forsell was elected, with Mrs. Thomas as alternate.

Utility Gives in
to Demand for
Jobs for Negroes

New York, May 4-(CNA)-A
vigorous fight by Harlem organiza-
tons against job discrimination, by
the big public utilities particular
ly, was crowned with tremendous
victory this week with the capitula-
ton of the powerful Consolidated
Edison Electric and Gas Company.
The concern agreed to hire Negro
cashiers and service men.
Announcement of the victory
was made at a press conference in
the office of the Rev. A. Clayton
Powell, Jr., pastor of the Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church and chairman
of the Greater New York Co-Ordi-
mating Committee for Employment
of Negroes.
Capitulation of the company
came few hours prior to the ex-
piration of an ultimatum delivered
by a mass meeting attended by
5000 persons. Rev. Powell re-
lated that his committee was called
to a conference with Colonel Will
liam Stillwell, vice president of the
Consolidated Edison Electric and
Gas Company, at which they were
informed that the company was
ready to "employ Negroes in all
branches when the time came for
re-hiring." Meantime, as a pledge
of good faith, the company would
Immediately employ Negroes as
cashiers and service men in its two
Harlem offices, Colonel Stillwell
said. He promised that this would
be put into effect Immediately, with
a two-week training period for the
employees, beginning next Monday.
Rev. Powell said no response had
been received as yet from the New
York Telephone Company, which
was also sent an ultimatum that
it must discontinue its policy of
discrimination in employment
against Negroes or face a struggle.
Picketing of the company will
start this week, Rev. Powell said,
if it continued to adhere to its jim
crow policy. A boycott would also
be instituted, with an appeal "to
all people, black and white" to
stop dialing numbers and instead
call the operator to get the num-
Der, thus forcing employment of
more people"
