Labor Division Cited.

LABOR DIVISION Cited.
When the Wagner Act passed in
1885 we had united labor move
ment," he said, "and if that condi-
tion had continued the difficulties of
the board in handling representa-
ton disputes would have been seri-
GUS enough. But they would never
have reached the proportions and
they would not have developed the
bitterness Of feeling that has come
since the split between the American
Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress for Industrial Organization.
I doubt if the opposition to the
Labor Relations Act itself would
have been taken as seriously as it is
now if it had not been for this
division in the ranks of organized
labor.
Il do not regard the problem as
lnsoluble. However, that it is possible
to get labor organizations which are
fighting among themselves to accept
a rule for deciding disputes as to
bargaining units, in good spirit, and
to follow that rule uniformly in all
cases involving choice OF repre-
sentatives is evident from the ex-
perience under the Railway Labor
Act, although the problems under
that act are not as complex as they
are in the vast field covered by the

St. Lucy;s Parish Parishioners Quietly Observe 18th Anniversary Record of Progress, Achievements Reviewed First Parish Mass Celebrated in North End Y

cial mass on Sundays at nine o'clock for children of the parish. They have their own choir, which is com- posed of youthful parishioners. The basement is also used as the meet ing place for the various religious organiZa ationS of the parish.
 Remarkable Progress
 St. Lucy's church has progressed with amazing rapidity. There are now five societies which have four phases of achievement, namely Religious, Cultural, Physical, and Social. There is the Children of Mary society, which is composed of the young ladies of the parish; the Holy Name society, which is com posed of the young men of the par ish; the Holy Rosary society, which consists of young matrons; the Sacred Heart society, which con- siSts of the married women of the parish; and the most recently formed societies-the junior and senior CYO organizations. The for mer consists of boys and girls of high school age; the latter of those more advanced in age.
 Rev. Michael McVerry is the Spiritual Director of these religious societies.
 Although in but the second year of its existence, the senior CYO scared to citywide recognition through its many accomplishments.
 The senior St. Lucy'S CYO debat- ing team has three outstanding de- baters in Anna Calo, Charles Rem aldi, and Alexander Mole. They were the runners-up for the James Arn- old Memorial cup. Members of this organization issue a laudable monthly publication, which bears the title of "St. Lucy Scroll" Charles Renaldi is the editor in- chief, Carl Del Russo--managing editor; Alexander Mole, poetry edi- tor; and Anne Calo, Grace Lasprog- ata, Mary Cimaglio, and Armand Fisher are the associate editors.
 Annual Bazaar
 This past summer, St. Iiucy'S held it's fourth annual bazaar adjacent to the church. The different mem bers of the five societies work in unisonN to make the bazaar a suc- cess each year, which they most, as- suredly have been. They are also assisted by Rev. Michael McVerry, the present curate.
 Rev. Felix Scoglio, beloved pastor of St. Lucy's church, celebrated his jubilee on May 28, at which time all the societies honored him at a ban quet held in the basement of the church. Father Scoglio has been in the priesthood for twenty-fiv years, serving eleven and one half years as curate at Our Lady of Lourdes church on South Main street. Sie also served for eight months in Hartford, and finally was made pas tor at St. Lucy's.
