a point of real importance.
Since the Supreme court decision

to do anything by agreements in in

Labor League Deplores Rise Of Racial Preudices Her
Importance Attached
 To Walkers Address
Noted Radio Commentator, Former War COrrespOn.
 dent Guest of Retreatants Here Tomorrow Night

Great importance is being at- tached to the address that will be given here in Waterbury tomorrow night at the 14th annual Mt. Man resa retreatants banquet by Basid 0. Walker of New York, nationally known economic conSultant, former war correspondent, and radio com- mentator on foreign affairs.
 MT. Walker several months ago informed local committee members that his topic would be "The Dawn of a New Historic Epoch" and writ ing to them this week he said his subject still stands. He said at the time he could visualize much of what Is now happening, although not with the same violence and mo- mentum.
 Relatively few people realize what kind of war is going on in Europe, Most of those to whom talk still think of 1t as another Eu- ropean war and very few realize that actually what is happening is the collapse of the whole Euro pean system; the beginning of an- other Dark Ages in Europe. Tn one respect the Nazls are right, there is revolution of profound impor- tance sweeping the world :"
 The banquet will be held at the Hotel Elton at 8 o'clock.

As mayors from all parts of the state met with Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin at Hartford this afternoon to discuss the part Connecticut will play in the national defense pro- gram, Labor's Non-Partisan League issued an open letter urging that protection of civil rights be assured. The league, stressing It's hopes for peace, declares that attempts to en- courage war hysteria should be squelched, and says 1t IS greatly concerned" to note that in some places already prejudice against German Americans and 1talain- Americans is being spread"
 Conference Today
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully was one of 6 number of city and town gov- ernment heads who met with Gov. Baldwin for luncheon at the Hart ford club. Subjects were to include expansion of state industry, protec- ton against sabotage, military pre- cautions, and increases of produc- ton.
 The open letter of Labor's Non- Partisan League, which has c branch in this city, is addressed to the mayors of the various commit mites. The letter reads as follows:
 'Dear Sir: The public press Sum- day announced a meeting at which you will confer with state law en- forcement officers concerning pro- lection of Connecticut industries which are a part of the re-arma- ment program.
 Labor's Non-Partisan League wishes to place before you It's con- sidered point of view on this mat ter.
 Racial Prejudice
 First of all we wish to empha- size again the unanimous wish Of our membership that our country shall stay out of the war. To this end we hope that nothing will be done to encourage war hysteria or anti.foreign feeling. We are deep- iy concerned to note that in some places already prejudice against derman-A Americans and 1taiian- Americans Is being spread.

production is to go through we feel 1t is vital to our national well. being that nothing whatever shall be done to hinder labor from the full exercise of It's right to orgarl- ize, to bargain collectively for higher wages shorter hours and better conditions, and, if neces- sary, to strike and picket. We view with great alarm suggestions that are being publicly made to the ef- feet that in times like these legis- lation passed to safeguard labor's rights and conditions, such as the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the Wage-Hour Act and the Walsh- Healy Act, should be done away with. Under no circumstances must the present situation be allowed to lead to e worsening of labor conditions.
 Fifth Column"
 We feel also that ct this time 1t is more than ever necessary to preserve and guarantee civil rights to all our people. Labor must not be interfered with in it's organized activity; the rights of the foreign. born must be protected, and all signs of prejudice against them must be rejected; and the "Fifth Column" question must on no ac- count be used as 6 way of creating Q feeling of panic, under cover of which the constitutional rights of minorities could Do taken away.
 We trust that you will seek to enforce the necessary guarantees to this effect"
