LABOR PARTY
 URGED TO AID
 ALL WORKERS
Head Of Mine, Mill, Smel- ter Workers Makes
 Proposal

Formation of a national Labor party to protect the interests of working people was urged yesterday at Jop- lin, Mo, by Reid Robinson, president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smel- ter Workers, in his annual report to the unions conven- ton. A Waterbury delega- ton, headed by John J. Dris- coll, is at the convention to represent the local Brass Workers union, 8 unit of the international.
 The Connecticut c. I. O. has threatened on numerous occasions to form a state wide party to com bat the ''reactionary" major parties. During and after the close of the 1941 legislative session the c. I. O. announced tentative plans for plac- ing a ticket in the field in the state elections next year, though in the past it has limited itself to backing major party candidates through Labor's Non-Partisan League.
 The union headed by MT Robin son has thousands of members in Connectciut, most Of them in the Naugatuck Valley area. It has con- tracts with number of valley plants, notably the American Brass Co.,, as well as with such firms as the Bridgeport Brass Co Organi- ration work in the brass industry in Connecticut is now underway at an intensive rate.
 President Robinson charged yes terday that the Roosevelt admins tration is hamstringing labor by the use of force in halting such strikes as that at the North Amer ican Aviation Corp. plant in Cali fornia. He asserted that it is time labor established its own politica party"

Pastor NEW MENACE IS CITED BY MARSHAL
Lahey Calls Attention To Law About Gasoline
 Transportation

The practice of filling receptacles with gasoline and conveying them in automobiles in order to have a supply of fuel for use between 2 D. m. and ' a. m. was pointed out as a menace so dangerous that we can't conceive of any sensible pre- son doing such thing" by Fire Marshal Den J. Lahey late yester- day afternoon.
 Fire Marshal Lahey also pointed out that state statute forbids the transportation of gasoline in any manner which would imperil the lives of others and in his belief, he said, a driver who carries a can of gasoline in his car not only endang- CTS his own life but the lives ot others. He said he has requested the cooperation of the filling station owners to refrain from selling the fuel in containers in order that no serious accidents would ensue.
 The danger is always imminent Marshal Lahey explained. He pointed out that with fumes from can of gasoline permeating the interior of car or truck and sus- ceptible to a spark, the possibility of a fatal explosion is always pres entA
 He added that if the practice i persisted by local motorists, the firt department would have to clamr down on these violators by resortine to the city ordinance which empow- CTS the firse marshars office te eliminate this hazard.

staff of Corporation Counsel J.. Gregory Lynch and Inspector Walk CT. The government men claimed that important concessions have been made since MT. Walker first protested several weeks ago, while MT. Walker was reported to have insisted that the plumbing code provisions be followed to the let ter.
 Meantime, a special committee named last night by the board of public works has fixed Sept. 2 as the date for a hearing at which J. J. Engels and w. L. Harmonay, Yonk- CTS, N. Y, plumbers directing in- stallation of equipment at the local defense housing projects, nut show cause why their Waterbury plumb ing licenses should not be revoked. The committee was named after Plumbing Inspector Walker had recommended revocation of the H. censes on the ground that the men had violated city plumbing ordi- nances and had created health hazards.
 MT. Walkers demand for revoca- ton was another move in his cam paign against the plumbing being installed aE the defense housing projects on Long Hill road and Hamilton avenue. Several weeks ago he bitterly criticized the in stallations being made.
 The works board committee which will conduct the hearings consists of Commissioners Daniel J. Dris- coll, Joseph Wilhelm and John Savino.
 Inspector Walker told the board that he had received assurance from the men that local plumbing would be followed. h. stead, he said, the regulations were ignored and the plumbers failed to heed several warnings he gave them.

 To Entering War

A large audience last night heard Rev. Delmar s. Markle, rector of St Georges Episcopal church, Bridgeport, speaking at the Gen. tral Y. M. c. A. under the auspices of the America First committee, criticize those leaders of his church who wish to lead us into war. He declared that the majority of Epis- copal clergy in this country are op- posed to our involvement in the present struggle.
 Others who addressed the rally were Rev. Italo Calcagni of St. Lucys church, and Rev. M. Webb Wright, pastor of the South Fed erated church. E. Jackson Ryan was chairman, and John Fiesta, president of the local group, intro duced the speakers.
 Rev. Mir. Markle asserted that 6 recent poll showed a majority of 1,- 900 Episcopal clergymen against en- tering the war. as opposed to 1,085 favoring the step. He said that while the America First committee was by no means anti-Gemitis or auti-British, its members felt their first duty was to America. This country's defenses should be made strong enough to deter any coun- try from attacking us, he added.
