Strike of Cleaners, Overs UnsettIed-CIO Affiliate
 Posts Two Concerns

The Waterbury Brass Workers union, local 251 of the United Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, went on record today as having placed two local cleaning and .dyeing concerns on @ "We-do-not-patronize" list.
 This move of the local union, which was made to give added sup port to local 45 of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers of Amer ica, the city's additional CIO organi- zation, was formally approved at a meeting of the executive committee.
 No New Developments
 In the meantime no new devei- opments were reported in regard to the two-day old strike at the local cleaning and dyeing establishments. No statements were issued by either union or company representatives today but there have been persistent rumors of a possible general strike in the cleaning and dyeing industry in Waterbury.
 Philip Brainard, organizer for the Brass Workers union, who made the announcement today in regard to the action taken by his union, issued the following statement: we hadn't previously expected that any mem- bers of our union would patronize either of the two plants where Amalgamated Clothing members are out on strike. The action of the executive committee was taken to give these workers added support and to make our stand in the issue clear to all."
 Conference
 At the present time no definite information in regard to the results of the conferences held yesterday with managers and union represen- tatives by Daniel Mccarthy, state labor department conciliator, could be procured. It is expected, however that there will be some action taken in this respect within the next few days.
