the first in eight starts.
Hero of the game was Roy

followed up this performance
with a single and double in three

Cut Raters go for its fifth vic
tory in IL starts.
The victory threw the Twi-
light race into confusion, for
now Gilbert's, Johnnie's Bar,
and the Koleky Cleaners are all
tied up with eight victories and
three losses at the head of the
loop.
Everything went along accord
ing to Hoyle until the fourth
inning. Mel Frederick had Civ
en- up one run to the Towers
club and Danny Warner q single
tally to Gilbert's. Then. after
Warner had held the Cut Raters
scoreless in their half of the
fourth, Fisher suddenly came to
life and unleashed . four hit at
tack which was converted into
eight runs and put Gilbert's de-
finitely behind the eight ball.
The Cut Raters came back in
the fifth and sixth to score but
were unable to stage any sem
blance of a rally.
The big fourth inning opened
when Les Verscheuren walked.
In quick order Arnie Kolozvari
and Floyd Frederick singled to
fill the bases. Walks to Ray Pei
tier and Denny Snay forced in
two runs. Bennett was declared
safe at hrst on q fielder's choice
and the fourth run crossed the
bag when Elso singled. An err
ror to Stevens, q fielder's choice
to Warner, and triple by Ment-
er sent home four more runs and
gave the Fisher men q 81 lead.
Snay scored the first Gilbert
run in the third when he tripled
and legged home on an infield
out. The second run was scored
by Chuck Shorkey in the fifth.
Shorkey took first on an error
and was booted home on singles
by Mel Frederick and z. Snay.
Arnie Hellner came in with the
final Gilbert tally in the sixth.
Hellner tripled and legged home
on an infield out.
Menter paced Fisher Towers
at the plate with a single and
triple in three official trips. Snay
led Fishers with a single and
triple in three tries.
While Fisher Towers was
playing Jack, the Giant Killer,
ut the st. Mary stadium, Bilrus
Cafe bounced the Eagles, 1873,
at the Covered Wagon diamond
to gain q game on the Recreation
league -pace-setter, Hubarth q
Schott. Bilrus is now two full
games out of first place.
Ed Kowalski started chucking
for Bilrus but was relieved by
Kurt Kurkowski in the fourth
after he had given up six hits
and eight runs. II looked for a
while as though the Eagles were
going to make IL two straight
over Bilrus but kurkowski
quickly put out the FIRE. In the
last four innings he pitched
Kurkowsiki gave up only one hit,
struck out six. and walked none.
Weston's double in the fourth
was the lone bingle.
The Bilrus aggregation scored
in every inning-twice in the
flrst, once in the second and
third, twice in the fourth. three
times in the fifth. and four times
in the sixth. J. Rachow pound

The initial meeting of the C.L.U. will be held in Union Hall on January q, and notices have been sent to the vari- ous locals asking them to participate.

Thanks!
MT Nathan Sherman. The Union Times,
 Dear MT. Sherman:

The Union Times,
 Dear MT. Sherman:
 My deepest interest and con- cern in everything that means success for THE UNION TIMES. Back of the paper itself is the exhibition of solidarity and understanding so often absent from labor's front but now happily present in deed and in paper. America is challenged to the marrow now and will be challenged for years to come in the war and in the peace. We will win the war but we cannot forget that we must win the peace. Unless we win the latter the former is only half won. LabOr's share in winning the peace is not academic. It can and it must be potent and per- suasive.
 THE UNION TIMES has an enviable chance for informative discussion and persuasion.
 Sincerely yours,
 James A. Shanley, MIG.

 Ready Roll In New Haven
All Organizers To Use Machinery Set Up By
 State Federation

Connecticut unions, and repre- sentatives of the various 1nterna- tional unions in this state, are com pleting plans for an intensive or- ganization drive, THE UNION TIMES learned today. This news put an end to the be- lief in some quarters that the mo- strike'' agreement signed with Gov ernor Robert A. Hurley by organ ized labor and the Connecticut Manufacturers Association prevent ed the unions from bringing the benefits of union membership to the unorganized. It was pointed out that the compact simply pro- vides that there will be no inter- ference with production, and that if a union and an employer cannot agree, and a strike is in prospect, the Governor will arbitrate the dis pute.
 In many respects, it is believed, the agreement is to labor's advan- tage. for should a manufacturer whose shop has been organized re- fuse to recognize the union, or bar gain collectively, he is bound, under terms of the agreement signed by President Alfred C. Fuller for the Manufacturers Association, to sub- init the entire matter to Governor Hurley for arbitration.
 ROCKBESTOS-
 Although this particular drive started some time ago, the first organization effort, now being completed, is in New Haven.
 With we'll over the majority of the 400 employees signed up on authorization cards, Local B-9O, Electrical Workers, New Haven, expects to sit down and negotiate with the management of the Rockbestos Products Corporation right after the holidays.
 Without fanfare, with no anti labor tactics employed to date by the Company, the organizing staff directed by Joseph T. Rourke, business agent, has gone about the business of bringing these workers into the American Federation of Labor. Rourke in- dicated that he believes many open shoppers locally could learn a lesson in Americanism from the drive which would help their contribution to the anti fascist war the nation is in.

Painters
 Turn Funds To Nat. Defense
$1,OOO Assessment Con. Verted- Was To Be Used
 Against Chapman Co.

Proof that the prosecution of the war to a successful conclu- sion is labor's first objectice was cOnclusively given this week when Local l86, New Haven Painters Union, turned over a 5000 strike fund to the purchase of defense bonds. The Union had passed the assessment just prior to the outbreak of the war in order to place pickets in front of the D. I. Chapman Company, New Haven painting and decorat- ing shop and in front of all jobs performed by the unfair firm.
 ADHERE TO COMPACT
 In the interests of defense the Union is now following the non-strike compact arrived at in Governor Robert A. Hurley's office between representa- tives of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, the State CLIO. and the Con necticut Manufacturers Association The Governor has been notified of the D. I. Chapman situation through the office of John J. Egan, secretary treasurer of the State Federation Chapman is doing work in defense plants.
 William Zuckerman, business agent of l86, has also notified Egan and through him the Gov ernor that the following firms have contracted with Chapman: The National Folding Box Com pany, New Haven; the Inter- national Silver Company, Wal lingford, and the Chase Brass Company of Waterbury.
 Chapman has been placed on the un- fair list of the New Haven Building Trades Council.

Organized labor in Connecticut moved swiftly this week to com plete its plans for making its maximum contribution to the country's war emergency. Develop ments this week include:
 l. Representatives of every cen- tral body in the state, meeting at the call of the Connecticut Feder- alton of Labor, unanimously en- dOrsed the ''nO-strike" agreement entered into at Governor Robert A. Hurley's request by the State Fed eratiOn of Labor, the State C.I.O., and the State Manufacturers As- sOciatiOn.
 2. The compact, which permits the Governor or a representative named by him, to act as arbiter in case of dispute, was unanimously endorsed by the executive board of the State Federation of Labor.
 $. Representatives of the various International Unions which have organizers in this state, meeting in the offices of the Connecticut Fed eratiOn of Labor, unanimously voted to abide by the terms of the compact.
 4. Machinery for making the pact effective is now being worked out, the plan being to appoint the presidents of the central labor bodies the representatives of the State Federation in their cities as regards to problems arising form the agreement. Harold V. Feinmark will be the representative in New Haven; William Scott in Hartford. and Peter Benard in Bridgeport. The full list will be announced by Secretary-Treasurer John J. Egan next week. In case of an employer. union dispute, the union will get in touch with the Federation's rep- resentative in its own city, who will then take the matter up with the State Federation. The Federation. in turn will take the matter up with Governor Hurley.
 UNIONS MEAN BUSINESS
 Concrete evidence that the unions mean business was furnished in New Haven and Hartford this week. In New Haven, Painters Union 186, turned its strike fund of $1 ,O0O against the D. I.
