Charges Democratic Leaders With Digressing Six Party Rallies to Be Held Today Speedy Reprisal Booth Blue Star Georgia Florida, and other sections had urged importation of Sumatra wrappers be barred. They testified that they could increase their acreage to produce enough tobacco to take care of the demand. The Treasury held that the law did not contemplate future production possibilities, but governed only existing circumstances and that since there was not sufficient tobacco grown at present, the Sumatra wrapper could not be barred under its provisions. Treasury officials recently were notified by Dutch interests that indentured labor had been done away with in Sumatra and that those grounds for barring Sumatra tobacco no longer existed. Treasury ruled today that Sumatra tobacco would be admissible under the tariff law after January 1 when the provisions barring goods produced by indentured labor becomes effective.

The tobacco is used largely for cigar wrappers. The Treasury ruled that there was not enough of that grade of tobacco produced in the United States to satisfy the needs of the country. Under the law, the provision effects enly those goods made by indentured labor of which a sufficient quantity Is produced in this country to fill domestic needs. Tobacco growers in Connecticut.

Valley Tobacco Men See Reduction Leaders Expect Less Shade-Grown Leaf to Be Raised as Result of Sumatra Ruling The ruling of the Treasury Department, announced in Washington Saturday, to the effect that Sumatra tobacco would be admissible under the tariff law after January 1 when the provisions barring goods produced by indentureu labor becomes effective will doubtless cause a decrease in the amount of shade-grown tobacco in the Connecticut alley, leaders of that industr, indicated. While opposition to the allowing of Sumatra tobacco to be shipped to this country was not opposed by all of the tobacco farms hereabouts, it is believed that a majority of them favored the embargo.

"Both of these men have short memories and neither of them should talk about depression or its causes. Everyone knows that the depression, the lack of employment and the consequent suffering entailed Is brought about because of the conditions in Europe arising out of the World War.

The burden 'placed upon Germany was too heavy. Why don't Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lonergan say who was the leader in placing the burden on Germany, If they must discuss national issues? 'It was Woodrow Wilson who stated that Germany must pay to the last ounce pay-pay-pay. It was Mr.

Private building remained below normal and a surplus of building trades men was apparent in most localities. State highway construction continued in good volume, quite a number of new contracts having recently been awarded.

While harvesting of various fall crops provided employment for many farm workers, a surplus of this class of labor prevailed. Builders Surplus Here. Reports on various localities are as follows Hartford The surplus of labor apparent during the past 30 days was especially noticeable among building trades men. Practically all local establishments were in operation with normal schedules prevailing in quite a number An increase in employment occurred in the cigar industry Normal forces were employed in the insurance offices, the larger laundries and in a plant manufacturing bicycle parts.

The fourth, John Stack, still is at large. Shortly before 9 o'clock on the night of January 16, 1930, Patrolman James MoNamee while on duty in Forestville was Informed by Captain Thomas Guckin that a sedan had been stolen in New Britain.

The officer wrote the registration numbers of the car on a slip of paper and put the paper in his pocket. Sees Stolen Car.

7 Rallies This Afternoon. Today the Democrats will be unusually active "for a Sunday, as they have seven rallies scheduled for the afternoon. Predictions Saturday by one leader whose advance statement on the caucus results was almost correct, were that the Democratic party Tuesday would win victories in Wards 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. 7, 8 and 9 for a plurality of 3550, losing Wards 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 by a plurality of 1925. Another observer predicted that the party would win Wards 1 to 9, inclusive, and Ward 11 by an even 3000, losing Ward 10 and Wards 12 to 15 by 1650.

During the present depression the country finds itself rich enough with the White House Cautious on 1932. Although predicting that the House which meets In December would be organized by the Democrats, Mr.

Shouse said it was unimportant which party had a two or three vote margin In Congress, as the Democratic party would be in control of legislation and must assume and accept that responsibility. He Is "too old in politics." he said to predict the outcome of the 193i. presidential election. "Public opinion can change almost over night," he said, and It is absurd to try to tell now what conditions will be a year from now." He continued. "Unless there is a changa In the trend of public opinion to an extent and scope that does not seem In the realm of possibility, we shall elect a Democratic President and give him overwhelming majorities in Congress." He praised Connecticut for the start it had made toward Democratic victory In 1930 and called It merely a forerunner for the expected results here in 1932 the retention in office of Governor Cross, the continued control of the two Congressional districts now Democratic, the gain of one and perhaps two more districts, and the election of a Democratic United States Senator.

Cross Cites Threat Influence. Governor Cross discussed some aspects of the 1931 legislative session, and said that had, it not been for the Republican threat to take from him the power to nominate Common Pleas Court judges, he would have reappointed all the incumbent judges in consonance with his idea of keeping politics out of the courts. William M. Citron, House Minority Leader, whose campaign for nomination as the Democratic candidate for Congressman at Large was launched at the meeting, attacked the Republican legislative majority for balking the legislative program offered by the Democrats. Congressman Augustine Lonergan of Hartford urged women to take an active interest in politics.

He predicted that eventually the United States would suspend further the payment of war debts upon condition that the powers agree not to use the money thus preserved to them upon armaments. Shouse Praises Federation. Rev. George B. Gilbert, who was -fcoastmaster, called upon National Committeeman Archibald McNeil to introduce Mr.

Shouse, the Rational leader paid tribute to the work of the Federation of Women, saying its reputation was far wider than people in Connecticut realize.
