Labor Well Cared For


The organized labor vote got more
attention and space from the Dem
ocrats than from the Republicans.
CLIO President John L. Lewis, who
has been off the New Deal reserva-
ton and has predicted "ignominious
defeat" for Mr.. Roosevelt, got sew
eral Democratic platform planks
that he wanted.
The Republicans urged amend
ments to the Dagner Labor Rela-
lions Act but the Dmocrats did not
mention amendments.
The Democrats, in effect, told
President Roosevelt to call the ma
tional unemployment conference
which until now he has declined to
summon, although requested to do
so by both the AFL ann CLIO. Such
conference would include repse-
sentatives of industry, labor and the
government.
Lewis also won Democratic
plank endorsing extension of the
Guffey bituminous coal stabiliza-
ton act, under whirh the govern
ment is preparing to fix minimum
soft coal prices, and a pledge that
sympathetic consideration" would
be given to a similar law for the
anthracite industry.
Aid to Little Business
Both parties pledged aid to. little
business, promised impartial en-
forcement of the antitrust laws
and each indicated that it alone
could restore full prosperity.

lican, although it went Democrat,

licans went further than Demo.
Gratis, advocating repeal of southern
poll tax laws and enactment of an
ti-lynching legislation. Democrats
influenced by the solid south
pointed to benefits to negroes in
New Deal social legislation, ano
said they would uphold due process
and the equal protection of the
laws for every citizen, regardless Of
race, creed or clor."

and in the smoothness of her slim
graceful hands, that spoke OF an
easy former life. She had poise and
a grace of movement like that culti-
waited in girls schools, and she spoke
in a soft, modulated voice, using
words that indicated she'd been well
educated. Yet here she was liv-
ing in extreme poverty, taking jobs,
she told him, washing dishes in
cheap restaurants, as cleaning
woman in hotels and apartment
buildings And she couldn't hold
any of them long because there
were days when she couldn't get up
out of bed, didn't have the strength
to do work of any kind.
A Hard Struggle.
She'd said she had lost her job
at a Loop department store. several
months ago for obvious reasons.
She'd been barely getting by since
then and didn't know what she
would do now that he had forbade
her to do any kind of work.

KENNEDY LEAVES
Will Fly From Lisbon To

Again Return

London, Oct. 22+UP) - United
States Ambassador Joseph p. Ken
nedy left for home today, and the
glowing tributes paid him by British
officials and newspapers had an ar
of finality, indicating belief that ne
would not return.
Accompanied by his personal sec
rotary, Jack Kennedy, who is not a
relation, Kennedy left London by
automobile, on his way to Lisbon,
where he intends to take a Pan
American clipper plane for New
York.
Kennedy was said to have dis
couraged any expectation OF the
United States entering the war, al
though it was understood that he
was conveying the warnings to
President Roosevelt and Secretary
of State Cordell Hull.
Kennedy refused to discuss his
future plans but there had been
frequent reports that he would re-
sign when he reaches home. The
Times said of his departure:
"IIis genial, stimulating presence
would be sadly missed in England"
1t said that he had avoided pitt
falls common to other United
States representatives in Britain,
that he never allowed private
friendships to turn him into an
Englishman and thus weaken his in
fluence with his own people. He

AS Reason For Move

Hartford, Oct. 22-Adrian Bren-
nan has resigned as basketball
coach at st. Thomas Seminary, it
was announced at the seminary last
night. Nothing has been done about
appointing Brennans successor but
q coach will be named prior to the
opening of the season.
Reached at his home, Brennan
said that he has always coached as
a hobby and that his business duties
prevent him from giving the neces-
sary time to coaching. He said he
felt it was unfair both to himself
and the team to attempt to coach
on the limited time that was avalla-

of the seminary, said st. Thomas

really think he had more influ-
ence with the boys than any of us
here. We particularly regret his
resignation at a time when we are
about to open our new gymnasium. .
Brennan won national fame as
coach of the Aetna Life girls bas-
ketball team, He began coaching at
st. Thomas shortly after the Aetna
Life quintet was disbanded. Despite
the lack of a gym for practice,
Brennan has had better than ordi-
gary success with the seminary
teams.

Continuing to throw the charge
Of War party" against the New
deal Edward j. Ryan of Thomaston
last evening said that if the New

thrown into another foreign war
within two months after November
5th. Mr.. Ryan made the state
ments before a meeting OF the Wa
terbury chapter of the Anti-Third
Term League which met last even
ing in the Elton Hotel.
Gerald Daley, president of the or
ganization, stressed the necessity for
a solid front on the part of the pub
lie for the coming election. "This
election should not be looked upon
as just another election between Re-
publicanS and DemocratS-it Is
much more important than that
This election is between Democracy
and Dictatorship. Wend Eli L. Will
kie representing Democracy and
Roosevelt representing Dictatorship
Is there any person who can deny
that the New Deal is setting up a
dictatorship in this country? Is
there any person so Indifferent that
they refuse to realize that America
is being led toward dictatorship
by every move of the new deal dur
ing the past four yearS?"
Mr.. Ryan said in part: America
needs Wendell Willkie. We need
him to prevent the ruination of this
country. We need him to bring an
end to strife, class hatreds. and UNI
employment in the United States
In addition to the Third Term Issue
our people must face the issue OF
war. /. And Mr.. Roosevelt and his
New Deal are leading us swiftly
down that road toward ruin, bank
ruptcy, chaos anc war. Check back
over the record of the New Deal and
realize what Is going on here In
America today.
1.-The New Deal has failed to
solve a single domestic problem, yei
it has spent more money than al
our ether American presidents COM
bined.
