TRUCKERS GIVEN WAGE INCREASE
Negotiations Terminate in
 Concessions Cleaners, ] Dyers' Strike Ends

Following two months of sessions with the State Board of Meditation and local employers the local truck drivers union members have been granted f1ve-cent' per hour wage tncerase through the agency of the State Board, 1t was announced last evening. The Waterbury union had signed a two year contract last year which stipulated that any grievances they had could be taken to the State Board and that there should be no strikes. The union asked for its pay increase two months ago.
 Now the local drivers will be raised from 60 to 65 cents per hour, the platform men from 50 cents to b5 cents pc rhour and in one in- stance the road men will get in- crease of one dallor. The Philadel- phia-Waterbury run will now bring the driver $16.50 instead of $15.5O.
 The ten-day old cleaners and dyers strike at the Metropolitan Cleaners & Dyers Go. and at Hart's, Inc, was suddenly, called of late yesterday afternoon by Leon Sagi- nor, Amalagamated Clothing Work CTS organizer from New Haven. All workers returned today and even before the official announcement of yesterday afternoon the secretary of the Metropolitan plant had stat ed that as far as his company was concerned the strike was over.
 There was no agreement signed in connection with the cessation of the strike though 1t is understood that some concessions were granted by company officials. The unions original demands were for a forty hour week and 0 minimum wage of forty cents per hour, in addition to the usual closed shop stipulation.
 Leon Saginor, before he left Wa terbury yesterday for New Haven, said that more intensive organiSa- tion plans would be worked out here within the next few weeks.
 The strike here during the past week was unique in that some days the members of the union would re- turn to work, come out the next day to picket, and then go back again the next day.

that the judges are human, and the full humanization of the court must be accomplished.
 We must also have very clear objectives. They must be plotted out, understood and the we of Congress-and all the American people-rnust go ahead.
 Asks Permanent Program
 At the next session we should agree what we want to do; this must be developed into Q permanent pro- gram. I suggest the following:
 l. Conservation of natural re- sources.
 2. Farm legislation.
 3. Establishment of the eight TWAS.
 4. A developed and extended housing campaign.
 s. Strengthened labor provisions
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-09-09

co.ordinated government action, whether by production, price, sur- plus, or every-normal granary con- trol.
 At the next session immediate legislation should be adopted, especially on agriculture and labor, but 1t will be necessary to evolve permanent policies. A housing bill has been adopted. But 1t must be greatly developed.
 For friend and foe of the New Deal alike, all must know that operation of the government will inevitably be on scale so much greater than in the past that everything done before will seem tiny. Twenty-Five years ago no one realized the gigantic operations of corporations today. And few real- ize that the government will do the same, without harming, but actually beneflting the business and life of the nation.

tionaries in general, who do not join the New Deal advance, must be left behind. In this there must be na- tional unity of thought.
 Yes, if there is anything in the future, sectionalism must be kicked headlong out of the pie ture. We must have the national viewpoint. We must know that the national resources and the human resources. too, for jobs, health, and happiness-are the concern of the nation.
 And in this picture is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Like the people, he wants to go ahead. For one, he wants to go ahead. For one, I am sure that he sees the picture more clearly than anyone.
 And I hope that as the captain of the ship he will take a look at the compass, sail straight on with ell friendly sailors aboard, and all others overheard, espe- cially those who would scuttle the shin.

Knows No State Lines

When&a national plan is men, tioned, considering these four sub- 1ects, great yell goes up about states rights and centralization of power in Washington. That is non- sense. A river pays mo attention to state lines-a drop of water rolls in from Canada and goes all the way to New Orleans, tearing, as 1t goes. Floods are a national ipsOblem. Dis eased people in slurn areas affect the entire country. 9
 In all these problems let every division of government do it's part. The eight TWAS will. be federal (cheap power, flood, control, navi- gation, dams), but states, cities, industry, business will benefit and take @ part.
