LABOR RALLY
DATE is SET
Mayor Invited to Speak at
Temple Hall Week From
Tomorrow Night

The Central Labor body commit
tee to sponsor the reelection of
President Roosevelt, headed By Ru-
dolph Tata Of the Transfers Union
as chairman are completing ar
rangements for a mammoth labor
rally at Temple Hall, Thursday eve.
ming, October 81, 1910 ct 500 b. m.
Speakers from the ranks Of labor
throughout the state win be present
to express the feelings Of labor in
regards to the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for a third term.
Mayor Vincent SculIy of Water
bury and prominent labor leaders
throughout the state have been in
vited to speak. Labor in Waterbury
Is sponsoring this rally to show the
public at large that it has not lost
faith with the president and that It
wants the gains mace by labor to
remain unviolated by the opposition
through the election of its Charlie
Mccarthy, Wendell Willkie.
Arrangements are being made for
a parade to proceed the rally at
Temple Hall and all in general are
invited to attend so that labor's
spokesman can present the workers
point of view to the public and ex-
plain why labor endorses President
RooSevelt's reelection for a third
term Notwithstanding the so-called
anti third-term traditions so loudly
voiced by the opposition.
There will be refreshments served
after the speakers and the public
at large is invited to attend and n
joy a pleasant evening.
A statement from the committee
In charge reads as follows:
The Central Labor body through
its action also is shattering tradi-
tons by endorsing a presidential
candidate and sponsoring rally for
his reelection, but labor does not
hesitate to do this when it is a
question of retaining in Office a
friend of labor and defeating the
aspirations of Wendell Willkie, the
0bAAAAO4 NhAAACl 4V1 wall OJIS6U AIlCl
those factions representing the en-
emies of social and labor legislation.
Labor has struggled and actually
shed its blood to attain its princi-
Piles as the history of labor's strug-
gle will reveal and therefore we are
obliged to return to Office a presi-
dent who has needed its voice and
done all in his power OF try to bring
to reality the dreams and aspi-
rations of labor since its inception.
We know that the work of social
and labor legislation is not COM
pleted, but we also know that if it
is to be carried out further it can
only be done through the re-elec-
ton of a man with President Roose-
velt's sympathy for labor and not
through the election of Wendell
Willkie whose Wall street sponsors
have always had a deaf ear for the
appeals Of labor"
