Choristers Prepare
For Third Season
Achievements of 1888 Inspire Members With Hope of
Another Outstanding Successful Season

The Waterbury Choristers are
about to launch their third season
Of Choral Music. Rehearsals are
now starting for their annual con-
cert. Registration for membership
may be made on Wednesday even
ings at the Armory on Field street
An invitation Is extended to sing
ers of the city to take part at
/ this time. There are openings al
the present time in the four part
voices.
In anticipating q successful sea-
son at this time the Choristers re-
view with pleasure their many &C
tivities in the past. They all agree
that participation in the Silvermine
Festival at Norwalk In August, 1898
was the outstanding event. On
this occasion they had the oppor-
tunity to sing under the superb di-
rection of Eugene Ormandy, accom-
panied by the New York hilhar-
monte orchestra. Susanna Fox
Drufa, who directed the local chorus
Is reminiscent of the very fine
support given her by the many lead
ing singers of the city at that time,
which helped to make the Water
bury Chorus one of the best groups
taking part #.
First Concert
The First Annual Concert Of the
Waterbury Choristers was given at
the Blessed Sacrament church hall
The Second Annual Concert was
given in the Grand Ball Room of
the Hotel Elton in February of this
year. Both of these concerts were
very favorably commented upon by
the musical critics present.
In April of this year the Water
bury Choristers were the Host club
to all Of the Choral Clubs of the
Connecticut State Federation of Mu-
sic Clubs, in the State Choral Fes-
tival at the Wildly high school
Auditorium.
On several occasions the Choris-
tiers were called upon to give radio
programs over the local stations as
well as the stations throughout the
state, under the auspices of the
Connecticut State Federation of
Music Clubs, of which the Water
bury Choristers are members.
On May oath the Choristers took
part in the National Chorus at the
New York Worlds Fair under the
direction Of DR.. John Warren Erb of
New York City.
The Waterbury Choristers are
grateful for the support given them
on every occasion by the Mattatuck
Musical Art Society and other mu-
steal and public spirited representa-
tive people Of the city as we'll as
the local newspapers and radio sta
lions.
RehearsalS
Plans are now being formulated
for the members of the Choristers to
alternate rehearsals with the South
ington and Plainville Choral Clubs.
The accomplishments made while
the organization was in its infancy
in spite the members to continue

tiful poetic text with the proper in

Protest Voiced
Over Browder's
Arrest By FBI

The Communists of Waterbur,
protest the arrest of Earl Browder
noted Communist leader. ! He was re-
leased yesterday under, bonds o
$500. The letter follows,
Waterbury, Conn,
October Is, 1889.
MIR. Frank Murphy, ~.
U. S. Attorney General
Washington, ID. G.
Dear Sir:
The action Of the Department Of
Justice in arresting Earl Browder
for q technical violation when
filing application for pass
port cannot be interpreted as any
thing other than part Of the CAM
paign against civil liberties and to
deprive the Communist party Of its
legality. The charge itself is only
important insofar as it serves as .
false pretext to cover the greater
objective which Is the Suppression
of the Communist party. The
mountain Of evidence accumulated
by the Dies committee ON the sup
posed subversiveness OF the Cone
munist party has turned out to be
q molehill In the form Of q minor
legal point concerning . passport
which is admittedly in Browder's
own name.
Such methods Of suppression, the
use Of such legal, procedure and
the intimidation. Of bondsmen are
typical of countries where . policy
Of war Is in force. To the ,Ameri-
can people. persecution Of the
Communist party Is looked upon
as the opening attack against civil
liberties In general. The attitude
of our government I'M regard to
the preservation of civil liberties
is being critically gagged by its
attitude toward the Communist
party. N. s =,
The world situation compels the
peace loving people Of America to
draw the only logical conclusion
that the arrest Of the general sec
rotary Of the Communist party Is
reprehensile and unjustiiied I'm
every respect, q measure more be-
fitting Of a war bent nation than
a peaceful democratic people, ~
The American people would be
much better served II such 'tper-
secution" were directed against
those agents Of foreign govern
ments who are trying to involve
our country in the present Euro
pean war. In the name Of the
Communist party Of Waterbury, 1
wish to protest the action Of your
department, and request with
drawal Of the charge against Earl
Br0wder. 5i.
Very truly yours,
COMMUNIST PARTY OF
WATERBURY,.
