Columbia Heights
Told Of Proposed Bill

Demanding local self lf-government
for the District of Columbia, the
Citizens Forum of Columbia Heights
last night passed resolution asking
for that right in order that the
citizens may prove their ability to
govern themselves and subsequently
be entitled to the status of State"
William H. Mundell, vice chairman
of the District Suffrage Association,
introduced the resolution.
AS chairman of the forums Suf-
frage Committee, Mr.. Mundell re-
ported to the group on the franchise
bill adopted by the Suffrage Asso-
citation, which is expected to be in
troduced to Congress within 10
days. The bill provides for the
establishment of a municipal as
sembly to legislate on local issues.
In problems which would come I'M
der the jurisdiction of Congress, but
which would directly affect the Dis
trict, the assembly would be en-
powered to pass recommendations to
Congress. Mr.. Mundell reported 81
delegates would compose the pro-
posed legislature, 16 elected from
divisions and five at large. The
term of Office for delegate would
be two years. The Office would
carry a salary of 1000 year.
Urges Self Government Proof.
Speaking in support of Mr.. Mum
dell's resolution, B. w. Payne de-
clared THE right to vote is a
State right, and not until we have
demonstrated our ability to govern
ourselves can we expect to be given
a State status"
The forum voted approval in prin-
cipal of Senator Overton's formula
for determining the Federal Gov
ernments payment to the District.
Objection was voiced by A. M. Ed
wards as to the application of the
payment to the general fund, but
action was deferred on, proposed
changes until the completed Over
ton plan is announced.
Patman Bill Opposed.
The Patman chain store tax bill
vas opposed by the citizens after a
two-man debate between Mr.. Ed
wards. who suggested the resolution,
and DR.. Lyman B. Kebler. DR..
Kebler contended the chain stores
"haYe not supported the commu-
nifty and are only after financial
power" Mr.. Edwards replied that
the condition of the grocery store
was much improved since the chain
store first came into existence
Simon A. Carpenter, Miss Eddie
Dickert and Miss Blanch w. Philpitt
were elected as members of the
group.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-A mild re-
vival of the war-buying urge came
into the stock market today and
steels, motor trucks, aircrafts and
specialties were lifted fractions to
more than a point.
While extreme gains were shaded
in some cases at the close, many
favorites emerged at the days best
levels with a handful in new high
territory for the year.
Dealings, slow at the start, picked
up little momentum later with
several large blocks of low-priced
issues changing hands at about
where they finished yesterday.
Transfers for the two hours ap-
proximated 100000 shares, or more
than double last Saturdays total.
An assortment of recently faint
hearted traders, brokers said, were
drawn back into the market by the
mornings headlines, which indi-
Gated the battling European powers
intended to push the conflict Ito q
finish"
Overseas dispatches, though. told
of no new outstanding military
pressure on either side and there
were still plenty of Wall Streeters
inclined to keep their speculative
powder dry pending more light or
whether a war in earnest" is in
the offing or whether all the fan
fare may be prelude to a sudden
peace.
Motor trucks, in the doldrums for
quite while, came to life on word
the French had ordered some 1000
heavy vehicles in this country and
when manufacturers could supply
them.
Predictions next weeks steel mill ;
operations would register another
upturn, together with reports of q
fresh furry of inquiries from home
steel consumers, bolstered stocks in
this department. Aircrafts and
other selected issues had the benefit
of Frightening hopes for earnings
and dividends, partly coming from
foreign demand.
Touching new highs for 1889 were
Studebaker, White Motors and Mack
Truck. Popular most of the time
were Yellow Truck, United States

CITY DEFENDANT
 IN $l5,O0O SUIT
William A. Hebert Alleges Permanent Injuries as
 Result of Fall

The $l5,000 suit of William A. Hebert against the city of Water- bury was started before Judge John A. Cornell in the superior court this morning.
 The plaintiff claims that on Jan. 26, 1889 he fell as the result of a defective crosswalk at the corner of Grandview avenue and Revere street and sustained fractured ankle and that the injury is permanent. Snow and ice and the top-cap of a water main are set forth as contributing causes to the accident.
 MT. Herbert claims that he was employed by the Connecticut Light and Power company at the time of the accident and that since 1t hap pened he has been unable to per- form his duties.
 Dr. Harold Morrell and Herbert Scott Smith superintendent of streets were the first witnesses call- ed by Atty. Edward J. Mascolo, counsel for MT. Hebert.
 MT. Scott-Smith through the use of a map, presented by the plain tiff, identified the location of the accident and the water main top.
 Dr. Morrell testified that MT. Hebert's injury was unusual and that 1t would be permanent. When court adjourned for noon recess he was being cross examined on x-ray pictures by Corporation Counsel Timothy s. Sullivan and Atty. Ed- ward J. Mcdonald who are repre- senting the city in the action.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-31

A prediction that the United States government might step into the picture and regulate the hours a butcher or grocer can work, just as is the case in industry, was deemed possible by Thomas O'Dea of this city, manager of the Naugatuck Valley wholesale Grocers Company, who served as toastmaster at the first dinner meeting of the newly organized Waterbury Butchers and Grocers Association last evening In the Hotel Eltol. ballroom.
 The value of organization was stressed by MT. O'Dea. who said that Connecticut laws are responsible for grocers showing a profit on sugar mad flour. The state requires a def mite mark-up on merchandise, but until this regulation was placed in effect, grocers never made profit on the sales of sugar and flour, he add ed
 Angelo Rinaldi, president of the local unit, said the butchers them selves, not the public, are to be blamed for becoming Slaves to the public, and strongly advocated the enforcement of the Sunday closing law. Angelo M. Calo, chairman of the dinner committee, also favored

Republican organizations have made plans for series of political gatherings before the city election two weeks from today. Two meet ings are scheduled for tonight, arl- other for tomorrow night, and addi- tional gatherings later on in the campaign.
 Last night the Brooklyn Republi- can club, meeting at the Y. M. c. A.. voted to support the candidacy of John w. Stokes, nominee for sheriff. and also back the entire Republi- can ticket.
 Effected Savings
 The Republican candidate for mayor, Charles Foster, declared that he effected large savings for the city while serving as purchasing agent under the late Controller Sherwood L. Rowland. The system of competitive bicdings he intro- duced, he said, made 1t possible for the city to buy goods much more cheaply than in the past. Peter Krugelis presided at the meeting. Other speakers included Harry C.. Post, candidate for controller; James F. Morrow, candidate for treasurer; and Anthony Petrillo, candidate for tax collector.

NO ENDORSEMENTS
 BY LOCAL CLIO.
Brass Workers Here Neu- tral in Municipal Flee.
 tiOns Refute Broadcast

Reports that the Waterbury Brass Workers union, c. I. O. affiliate, would endorse the Socialist ticket in the city election campaign were branded today as completely false by John J. Driscoll, executive secre- tary of the union.
 Meantime, from other sources it was learned that sentiment within the union is largely in favor of c complete hands-off policy in the election. As c result, no endorse ment of any party or any single candidate is expected.
 MT. Driscoll also denied reports not endorsed any candidate, ticket or party. The legislative committee may take up the matter at meet. ing next week, but there has been no vote taken and every union member is free to vote as he pleas es"
 A radio news broadcast last night declared that the Brass Workers union had voted unanimously to back the Socialist candidates. MT. Driscoll said that this statement was utterly without foundation and that he planned to protest the dissemi- nation of such information.
 MT. Driscol also denied reports that Labor's Non-Partisan league had recommended that its branch here support the Socialists. As . matter of fact, he said, the league had recommended that no endorse ments whatsoever be given in the present campaign.

Butchers Blamed For
 Being Public Slaves
Angelo RinaIdi Strongly Advocates Sunday Closing
 Law in Address at Elton Dinner Last Evening

the Sunday closing law stating six days week is enough to work.
 The principal address was given by Maurice M. Cohen of New Haven, sales manager of the Wehle Brew ing Company. Old days in the gro- cery business was the theme of his talk and he contrasted the changes effective in other trades with the slow progress made in reformation of working hours for the grocers and butchers of the present day. He asserted that he believes chain stores paved the way for shorter hours and that butchers and grocers will not lose any business by closing Sundays If they notify their customers in advance who, he ayers, undoubtedly will purcahse enough supplies for the weekend on Saturdays.
 James Reardon of Hartford, sec- retary of the Connecticut Food Cuoncil, believes the idea of butch CTS and grocers keeping their estab- lishmentS open Sundays is ridicu- lous and paid tribute to the Con- necticut Retail Grocers' and Market mems Association for furthering legislation which has been of great help to butchers and grocers.
 Matthew Hines of Hartford stress ed the necessity of organization to insure the success of the Sunday closing law and urged the members to have absolute faith in themselves and their customers.
