Life will never seem the. same without you
For others you lived,
Not for what you received
But for what you could give.
Faithful and honest in all your ways,
Devoted and true to the end Of your days
What a beautiful memory you left behind
Just when life was the sweetest
And yog yoo, could have LIVED your best
And left US with empty hearts.

And we could have lived our best,

And you entered the land Of rest.

To bear my heavy cross;
He is the only one who knows
How bitter was my loss.
Oft to the grave I wander,
Flowers to lay with gentle care
Over the one we loved SO dearly
Who Is peacefully sleeping there.

Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-08-30

mary or general election campaign, members of Congress would be we'll advised" he wrote, ito cir eulate among the workers in their district and explain the provisions of the act
 Such a campaign, in fact, has al- ready started. Senator Little Joe" Ball has been transforming Min nesota with speeches glorifying the Taft-Hart1ey bill. Taft and others have likewise been making ad- dresses trying to "sell'' workers the idea that the measure is for their benefit.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-08-30

Perhaps even more significant
 was disclosure made by Gerard D. Reilly, in column he wrote for the Sunday newspapers.
 Reilly revealed that another poll-
 ing outfit, which makes special opinion surveys for corporations,
 had also conducted a poll and had
 eOnae up with about the same re-
 suits as did Gallup although the
 boilers" used tricky questions,
 calculated to deceive the average
 citizen.
 Thus, foes of labor who have gone to the trouble of financing a private eheckup to determine how the legislation is being received by the public, are learning, to their sorrow, that the public doesn't like It.
 That revelation pained Reilly to the extreme and. with some alarm he declared that lawmakers who voted for the Taft-Hartley prop osition have a problem on their hands in trying to "selP' the law, particularly eff substantial num- Der of their constituents are indus trial workers"
 Reilly's ramblings in recent years make a story in themselves. He first got his nose above the public horizon when former Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins gave him
 job in the Labor Departments le- gal section back in 1884. He was
 New Dealer then.
 Gradually he began shifting to the right. He accepted further of fees from the Roosevelt admins tration until he finally decided to paddle his own canoe. As a lawyer, he used the ex- perience he gained with the gov eYnment to recruit clients and also began writing an anti-labor news paper column. His great triumph came when Senator Taft selected him as chief adviser on the Taft Hartley bill.
 Bad News for Sponsors As is now generally known, Reilly and lobbyists recruited from the National Association of Manu- lecturers and other anti-union or ganizatiens wrote the bill. AS f.
 nally put through, 1t carried a few
 notifications sponsored by those
 Republican legislators who didn't
 think it smart for the COP to label itself the "anti-labor party" Even in the final form, however, the bill was extremely bad.
 That even the sponsors have now become uneasy is plain from Reil- ly's newspaper column, which gave the first intimation that the bills advocates had been privately polf- ing the country and had received discOuraging news.
 Propaganda Effort FIOps
 Now Reilly thinks the supporters must accelerate their propaganda campaign. Tn advance of any pri-
