unions, "pay high dues" and sub- init to ''un-American union dicta- tion."
 The whole tenor of the "ad" shows an attempt to organize "vets" into vigilante outfit against labor. Significantly, too, Dr. George s. Benson, president of Harding Col lege, a tiny institution at Searcy, Ark, Is billed as chief radio-speaker for the association.
 Time and again, Benson has popped up at hearings in Washing ton or as a speaker at meetings. where he has been introduced as a nationally recognized authority" on economics or other issues. AL ways, at such occasions, he has de- nounced progressive legislation or economic reforms. Now he Is evid- ently a leading propagandist for the new vigilante organization.
 Who's back of such outfits? While the facts aren't at hand on the spon- sorS of the veterans association in Arkansas, the New York "Times" the other day made some significant disclosures about the influences be- hind another similar "hate labor" organization-the sef-stYled "Am-
 erican Farmers Vigilante Move ment," launched in Nebraska.
 The ''Times" sent a reporter out to investigate. He found that the inspiration for this supposed "farm- ers' revOlf' against labor came from the canOns of Wall Street. A Rob- ert E. Smith of New York. presi- dent of the so-called Peoples Com mittee to Defend Life Insurance and Savings" went out to Nebraska to help stage the revolt"
 That committee has appeared in print time and again, as the spear head of various propaganda cam paigns against labor and liberal legislation. Now it's officials are try ing to exploit the farmers for its own devious purposes.
 Another prime mover in the farmers movement, serving as its acting organizer" was disclosed by the Times" to be connected with conservative financial in- stitution. It was clear from the stories in the "Times" that the whole movement was put-up job

 The LABOR TEMPLE of New London wilk soon be available to each and every Local in the New London area. At present worx is progressing favorably and it is hoped that a Grand Opening can be held some time in May. How ever, it is expected that the Hall will be available to locals for meet ings in the near future. This LA BOR TEMPLE should be an impor- tant factor in all union activities. It will be made available to all members of the A. E. of L. In this manner locals other than those of the Metal Trades alone can have at long last permanent meeting place if so desired. It becomes a means by which all Trades can and will have common meeting place thereby creating 8 stronger bond, not only among members but among locals of all trades in the New London area.
 The Committee of New London's s Development Commission seemed to be started in the right direction. and the harmony that has existed to date is remarkable. It each and every member is willing to bear in mind that this commission repre- sents ALL peoples in this area, and they think in this direction without thought of personal glory or per- sonal ambition, then there can be no doubt that the success of this venture is assured. IL is the writ CTS opinion, that one member of the Committee on Monday night. Feb. 11th, expressed one fault of the community that must be over- come. This member stated. and l quote, "New England is too con- servative and is unwilling to spend money. The South and West get an idea to attract industry and they spend money one it, we must find venture capital" That statement, I believe, calls the turn on what actually must be done. It is time that business and labor alike must

learn that they cannot exist without the other, but working hand in hand they can accomplish the un- beliavable. Whatever will make both understand this, must be done to accomplish our end.
 It is my hope that members of the locals throughout the yard might find time, if they feel so ia. clined, to write this column regard- ing certain facts that they believe they should know. In short. the yard seems of late to have been beehive of unsound rumors.

70 Temporal! 10 MOres!

To put the words into our own every day English, the famous Latin's words would read, "Oh what time, what a state of af- fairs" While Unions and progress
 sive groups in our fair township are
 laboring nightly to bring new industries into our area, to increase
 employment, and broaden the skills of our local workers, we see the picture of local hecklers entering
 rabid- complaints against one of
 the most promising businesses to
 enter Groton in a blue moon.
 We have reference to the Liberty
 Furniture Manufacturing plant that
 occupies the building formerly used
 by the Milboer boys as bakery plant on Hynes Avenue. All of you who are familiar with that neigh
 boyhood will distinctly recall that the site is practically in the wood- ed section of Groton, and can cas- fly be called at least liar from
 thickly habitated areas"
 Incidentally this writer has
 secuted the whole neighborhood and looked the land over. The site
 of the furniture concern gives ample opportunity to expand to- wards the rear for about a quar- ter of a mile through thick under growth and woods. We wonder If it was the woodchucks who entered the complaint? Since the complaint has been entered the company has taken every precaution to screen the Sawdust and check their fires which are only built to keep the place warm for the workers and in no wise could be called industrial smokestackS.
 What we need is some wide awake citizens in these parts to look into this matter and start 8 petition to have this whole area opened to industry. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have the trailor camp
 on Benham Road, as soon as it is cleared, opened to industry as well. Any stumbling block set up against industry today is the first race won in a united marathon to take our selves and our children into another

 Board of Burgesses with demand

 this particular plant be opened as

by bankers, rather than something genuinely from the grass roots"
 Meanwhile, the little weekly paper, "In Fact" edited by George Seldes, this week carried serlsa- tional expose of how the American Iron and Steel Institute" the propa- ganda agency of the steel industry, has tried to bribe country editors to stir up hysteria against labor.
 Through the American Press Association, an advertising agency for country papers, the Institute" purchased advertis- ing space at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars in country weeklies all over the nation. The lads" sought to inflame the rural population against the demands of unions for wage increases.
 But worse was the fact that the lads" were conditional on the pap- CTS running canned editorials" and news stories" prepared by press agents of the Steel Trust. The editorials" contained demand upon Congress to pass legislation regulating the labor monopolies and the news" items reported that farm leaders from every section of the country" are protesting" la- bor's activities and calling for anti labor legislation.
 This scheme of the Iron and Steel Institute was just about the rawest proposition ever made to the press. Not all the papers swallowed the bait. One of the weeklies-the "Optimist" of The Dalles, Ore.- corirageously exposed the whole setup as a move ito corrupt the weekly press of America" Many o1 the papers, however, prostituted for the sake of the Steel Trusts dol lars.

This propaganda is not the fly by-night variety, but carefully planned and cleverly written. The deluge includes inflammatory leaf lets. costly newspaper advertise ments and many other kinds of lit- erature designed to stir up antagon- ism against labor.
 Typical of this rash of hate prop aganda Is a full-page lad" carried in the Arkansas Gazette" of Little Rock. It is signed by a so-called Veterans Industrial Association" and carries frenzied appeal to former c. Is to rally against trade unionism.
 In one breath. the association claims 1t believes in organized la- bor" and in the next 1t tells vet erans that "your American freedom is being stolen from you" by trade union bosses" "dictators," radical leaders" and the like. G. Is are told they are being forced" to join

Spring Fever"
Due To Physical Or
Mental Condition

Now that we have turned the
calendar to spring, we are apt
to consider that tired feeling
as merely an attack of Spring
fever" The fact is that hard work
BY itself seldom causes fatigue
which cannot be cured by a good
sleep or rest.
But fatigue that persists-the
kind we wake up with or that
drags US down too early in the
day-means that something is
wrong with the physical body
or with the mental attitude.
There may be several reasons.

In order to correct the acoustic

away with the cast-iron skylights

Of tourists. They will be replaced
by a nodded ceiling covered with
