Betty Cradle and Carole Lands,
induce their aunt, Charlotte

cides to invest it in clothes and
q lavish suite at one of Miami's
ritziest hotels. Her purpose is
to hook a millionaire by looking
like millionairess. Carole

as an heiress that she not only
hooks millionaire, Robert
Cummings, but another fortune
hunter like herself, Don Ameche.
Unfortunately she falls in love
with Don before she discovers

LILO. Acts As Great Forum

The question has been asked, "Who are the members of the I.L.O.
 The LILO. is an association of na- tions. Only nations can become "mem- bers," although their delegates at all meetings must include representatives of employers and workers, as well as of governments.
 In 1885 sixty-two nations were on the roll-call, all the nations in the world except two. The United States, in spite of the part played by its dele gation in organizing the I.L.O. in 1919, did not become a member until 1884. Since then it has taken lead ing part in all phases of the Organiza- tion's work.
 Each year there is General Con- ference of the I.L.O., which is an assembly of the representatives from the member states. Each state sends four delegates-two for the govern ment, one selected by the principal workers organization.
 This Conference serves as a great public forum for discussion of condi- tions affecting labor and industrial re- lations through the world.

Knox Moves to Raise
 Navy Yard Pay Rates

A long fight by A. F. of L. unions to win wage increases for over 1OO,- 900 navy yard workers has begun to bring results.
 Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, who for months had resisted the de- mands of the unions, has sent cir cular letter to the commandants of all the yards, notifying that that step are being taken to overhaul wage scales.
 This is being done he said, because of widespread wage increases recently established in private shipyards and other manufacturing plants located in the vicinity of the navy yards.

now than we were i'm the last ten years. We have the best mechanics in the city and we have signed agreements with some of the larg- est shops. The union at the pres ent time has an agreement with fifteen employers and is negOti- ating with at least five more who, we hope, will sign up in the near future. That will bring up the total of employers operating under agreement with the union to twenty.
 The union at the present time controls the work on approximate ly 95 per cent of all new cOnstruc- ton and about 90 per cent of all commercial work, with the result that some of the largest buildings including office buildings, factories, stores, etc., have been done with union men.
 LITTLE DEFENSE WORK
 Since the defense program started, many of the cities in Connecticut have enormous defense construction proj- ects which include industrial con- struction, residential construction, and military construction. The city of Hartford, for instance, in addition to its great industrial expansion, has some huge defense housing projects as we'll as the construction of the Windsor Locks Airport, which em- ploys hundreds of building tradesmen. The building trades in the city of New Haven have been but little af- fected by the defense program due to the fact that there has been prac- tically no defense construction. Most of the building trades men who work in the city of New Haven are con- fined to normal, peace-tine work.
 ALMOST 1OO% EMPLOYMENT

Utter Waste

During World War 1 there was an old cannibal who, on hearing of the terrible wars then raging in Europe, was most curious to know how the Europeans managed to eat such enor- nous quantities of human flesh.
 On being told that the Europeans did not eat their slain foes, he was shocked, and wanted to know what kind of barbarians they were to kill without any real object!

curing employment for almost 100 per cent of its membership since the month of April. During the month of January, which was the worst of the year, the union had no more than 20 per cent of its mem. bership unemployed. The average unemployment during the winter months which is the dull season fog painters. was no more than between 10 and l2 per cent.
 The Painters Union has been in the forefront of all the campaigns that the labor movement in this city has conducted. Leaders of the union have been outstanding in the fight for housing which brought employment to the building trades and a measure of relief to the housing problem in the city of New Haven.
 CENTRAL BODIES
 The union actively participated ir the various central bodies of the labor movement, such as the Central Labor Council and the Building Trades Council, and its delegates are among the most active in both bodies.
 The Painters Union is well known throughout the city as a progressive fighting organization with an honest and progressive leadership, and is therefore widely respected
 NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
 The time has come now for new achievements. To organize the un. organized painters of New Haven is one of the slogans of the union at the present time. The union is. therefore, planning a large organ. izatiOnal campaign with the pur. pose of organizing some of the larger nOn-uniOn shops in the i'm. mediate future. When this objec- tive is reached, we will start a new campaign to further improve the working conditions of the painters in New Haven.

Painters Union Here Now
 In Flourishing Condition
By WILLIAM ZUCKERMAN

By WILLIAM ZUCKERMAN Business Representative, Local 186,
 Painters Union, New Haven
 The recent elections for officers in the Painters Union was the end of vigorous campaign carried on by the candidates running for office.
 Due to the intensity of the campaign, various stories about the condition of the union were cir culated. Since some of the stories were not too accurate, it is neces- sary to acquaint those who are in- terested with the real situation in the union.
 BEST IN 10 YEARS
 To begin with, the union painters in the city of New Haven are enjoy ing much better conditions now than they did in the last ten years. The condition in the union was gradually improved in the last five years, that is, since the present administration was elected to office. Union painters in the city of New Haven earn from $8 day up; some painters get $9 and $1O. The $8-a-day scale only applies to the cheapest line of work, and it is expected that by this fall the over whelming majority of the member ship will be making not less than $10 per day. These wages were brought up in the last five years from a maxi mum of about $5 per day.
 The union, through its efforts, was not only instrumental in increasing the wages in union shops, but was also factor in the rise of wages in the non-union shops, even though the wages in the union shop is about $9 per day, the average wages in the non- union shop is about $6.50 per day.

The Fear FusiIlade

Strange that in the thunderous din of the tremendous assault on Moscow, the crackle of the guns of few squads of riflemen should be so clearly heardl In m aosnd ad NoWa m yae e repeated m st d crashes of the firing-squads come clearly to the ear with sickening repetition, heard all too plainly above the din of the Russian battle.
 At least 1,641 people have been slaughtered by this fearful fusillade in compilation of official German reports. The echoes of those shots, cutting down helpless men whose only crime was that they loved their native land, will be ring ing in the worlds ears long after the storm of battle has subsided.

nation. The Camacho government has modified the old laws and even Catholic clergy in the United States have noted and commented upon this fact.
 Religion is vital to the growth of any nation. The Nazis believe they can ere ate religion in which the only god is the state. Well, that has been tried be- fore and has always failed. It will again, if this new German experiment is con- tinued or if Nazi might prevails in Europe. Mexico has had her brief mo- ment in denying to one section of the population the right to full and undis- turbed practice of form of religion, one recognizing a creator of all things to whom we owe everything Germany VIII probably see the day when it returns to the simple faith of it's fathers, too.

Religion in the News

President Roosevelt centered some at- tention on religious questions this past week when he referred to the generally admitted Nazi plan of roofing out all established religions in Germany and the countries over which it hopes to hold sway. Substituted for them will be Ger man church with the swastika replacing the cross and Hitler's Mein Kampf be- coming the Bible. It may sound fam tastic, but the mere fact that plans such as these have been mentioned before may lend some weight to the current day mention by MT. Roosevelt.
 Coming almost simultaneously with this bit of news Is another side of the picture 4 one closer to home. South of the border down Mexico way religion, the Roman Catholic religion, is enjoying a new lease of life. Prosecutions of some years back are being erased from peoples minds by earnest government efforts to give the church a place in the life of the

Over the Top

Precisely what lay behind Japan's more sober second thought in allowing Aneri- can supply ships to go through to Vladi- vostok without molestation, we may not know. The decision seems to have been made before the President announced his "shoot first" orders.
 The Russian air-borne mission to the United States may have had something to do with it. In 1887 a single-motor Russian plane flew nonstop from Moscow to the United States, and now, four years later, regular air traffic between Alaska and Siberia would be extremely easy to set up. In fact, any one of three or four per- fectly feasible plane routes over the top of the world between Russia and the United States could be set up rather quickly, completely by-passing Japan, If the will and the need existed.

The plight of the Republican Party in local elections is manifest not only in Waterbury, but also down in Bridgeport. According to all reports the local cam paign will be concluded Sunday night at big rally at which State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley will be one of the speakers The same thing is being done down in Bridgeport. Republican leaders down there have been calling upon him both for his appearance in the city and for monetary aid to make the campaign really amount to show of opposition to Mayor Jasper McLevy and the Democratic candidate Of course, there isn't any req son why the head of the state party shouldn't help out the local campaign. It shows interest on his part and reliance on the part of the town committee. But 1t isn't very often that a party organization finds itself forced into spot where local election needs such spurring on It should be a compliment to the Democrats of Waterbury, perhaps, that they are going to be subjected to Bradley going-over tomorrow night.

One of the noticeable facts of this cur rent campaign here in Waterbury is the obvious belief in Republican circles that there is going to be lot of splitting by the voters on Tuesday. Some of the can didates have personally campaigned along these lines and have pointed out to Dem ocrats and Independents the way that they can be voted for without necessarily voting for the entire Republican ticket. This has always been regarded as a dis play of weakness in party organizations and 1t has long been cardinal rule among Democrats that they campaign on a straight-ticket theory. Maybe that's one of the secrets of their success.

Selected Poem
WHERE GREAT WINDS STRIDE

(sara Van Alstyne Allen in the New York Tine0 Peace Is too soft word for this interval When for brief hour the island blooms again With dew on the leaf and earth grown dark Tn the thin twilight of the rain. Seek no peace here lot the island speak Whatever words she may have for your hearing, rlt bring no desire with you, voyager
 As you enter the harbor where the sails shake In the wind frfom the uncharted places Look here into eyes like your eyes,
 Into the vast universe of the island faces. Seek no peace here turn to the sea ... Look again at the empty shells cast up From the sea to lie under hte sea of the sky. Perceive how the sea-lavendar grows from the heart Of what was once 8 green and peaceful tree.
