 In Color Sunday

Holiday in Cuba, Robert Friers' new color motion picture travelogue, will be presented at the Second Church Forum Sunday at 7:30 P.

Those who have visited Cuba will thrill to fa- miliar scenes along the Pfado and Maleeon, and the F'riers' color cam era also goes inside to show Cuban radio and motion picture stars at work. Glimpses of industry reveal centented workers making genuine Havana stogies. Alligator bags and shoes are made here, too, from the denizens of dismal Zapata swamp. Other sequences show pineapple production and Cubas enormous sugar industry.

News of Organized Labor - By Raymond /. Fitzpatrick =

Meeting at Boston today with At torney Samuel Angoff, special cour1- sci for the International Union Of Mine, Mill 6 Shelter Workers, CLIO, was a committee from the Risdon unit of Local 251. Steps to press the unions claim of unfair labor practices by the Risdoa Man ufacturing Company were to Dc discussed
 One union charge Is that tt1e management sought to iatlmi9ak workers into signing "nesstftkee pledges. Union workers at Risagn have been on strike since Aug, 20, beginning their walkeut after the management had refused to reeag- nize Local 251 as bargaining agent for production and maintenance employees.
 The union committee which went to Boston included International Representative Ovide Gareeau, Uait Chairman Thomas Vaocare, Elmer Gaylord, Irene Petrone and Ene Beauvilliers.
 Joseph Falc0ne, chairman oe the Connecticut fund for the elee- ton of James J. Leary to the presidency of the M.M.S.W., re- ports new contributions of s2,0lS.
 The Waterbury Brass Workers Union, Local 2S1, has contributes Sl,OOO, and the same sum has been donated by Local s20, Bridgeport. There have also been individual contributions tOtalIing S15. Earlier the Chase RFass Workers Union, Local Ss5, eon- tributed S1,500.
 Mir. Falcone is receiving eon- tFibutiOns at the office of the Chase Local, v Bank Street.
 Recommended to all students of labor-management relations is an article in the current issue of The Sign by the Rev. William an,ith, g. J. Father Smith, whose latest heek on labor has just been puhlishsd, gives provocative outline of his views on the respective rights of management and labor.
 Let's clean up the child labor situation in our state," says State Senator William E. Sheehy, Shell ton, Republican candidate for re- election in the 25th District. At the last legislative session, he was the lone Republican to vote for the Fair Employment Practices BiIl, and he also supported the attempt to forbid employment of children under l4 in the tobacco fields.
 A big question at the moment is whether the United Mine Workers, A.F.L., now holding their convention at Atlantic City, will decide to lead the way toward seeking new pay inc The answer apparently rests with John L. Lewis.

Local 115, Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, C.I.O., having won a $9 weekly wage increase for it's journeymen tailors employed by ready y-te-wear stores here, will make it's next campaign for higher pay at Hartford. International Repre- sentative Eusep Oswaldo says that action against Capitol City mer- chants may come after a union meeting Monday night unless wage agreement has been reached by that time.
 The Hartford minimum is $42 for 40-hour week, and the tailors seek 8 substantial boost. Employers have offered an increase of $550 a week, but this has been turned down by the union committee.
 Under the agreement which end ed the three-day work stoppage here, tailoTs will get an increase from $41 to $50 for 40 hours week, will receive time and a half for overtime beyond 40 hours, and are guaranteed 52 weeks of work a year.
 The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, A.F.L., will support neither Democrats nor Republi- cans in the November elections, says President. Daniel J, TObin in the October issue of The Inter- national Teamsters.
 The union "certainly could not receive any worse treatment from any other party than we have received during the past year from the majority party" said MT. Tobin. "On the other hand" he said, I've could not espouse the cause of reaetionaries in the minority or Republican party"
 The Textile Workers of America, C.IO., plan to reopen the wage clauses Of it's contracts with em- ployers about the country, says a Statement by President Emil Rieve. Regional meetings will be held to decide on the amounts to be sought in various areas.
 No strikes will be called said the president, since many of the con- tracts do not expire until late next year and others carry over until 1948, but the union does plan to take advantage of contract provisions that allew the wage question to be opened again after sufficient notice has been given employers.
 The New Haven Building Trades Council. AZ L.. has en- dOrsed the candidacy of Joseph M, Tone for U. S. Senator.
 In the same city the C.I.O. council has endorsed the caHdi- daciAs of MF. Tone, LiautH@not- GsveFner Wi'her

thirds Of the estimated cost by

getie youthful pastor declared.
Rev. Massey, who Is a graduate

ing TO better their condition, and
landed at Fort Smelling on May 9,
1868. The leader Of this band Of

Robert Hickman, afRectionately
known as "Uncle Bob" According
TO a historical statement: during
a six weeks stay at the Fort, many
preaching services were held with
only Minnesota's blue sky as O
canopy, and the green grass on the
high bluffs commanding the con-
iiuence Of the Minnesota and Mis-
sissippi rivers as the carpet Of their
place Of worship"
The church was organized in 1866,
and Incorporated in 1870, with Rev.
M. Hickman, Henry Moffet, John
Trotter, F. Combs, Adline Combs,
Anna Slate, Lucy Niter, George
Chambers, John Combs, F. Combs,

Anna Combs, Narcissa Miller
and Catherine Peters among

erected in 1870, with some OF the
material coming from the First
Baptist church of st. Anthony
Falls, MINI. Because Of the grow
ing congregation consisting Of
both eolored and white" the first
church building was enlarged.
Another building was erected in
1886 at the cost of $4,000.
