 scale with the employers which went into effect on April 1st I reached an agreement with the employers on Feb. 17th which was approved by the local on Feb. 2lst. The agreement calls for a minimum wage scale of $10 per day, which is an increase of $1.20 per day over the amount we were getting ac- cording to our last agreement. On the twenty-second of February, the day after the agreement was approved by our local, had the agreement signed by the employers, copy of which I sent, together with an affidavit signed by myself to MT. Walter Price, of the United States Housing Authority.
 Refuse Recognition
 ''The bids for a housing project were opened in New Haven on Feb. 26th, four days after l notified the United States Housing Authority of the increase in our wage scale. was informed by the USHA that our increase would not be recognized on this project in view of the fact that they were notified too late.
 T found out that the bricklayers union informed the USTIA of their in
The union times., 1941-05-24

crease in wages from $11 to $13.20 per day approximately the same time we did and their increase was recognized.
 Tn discussing this matter with MT. Brennan, Labor Relations Representa- tive of the USHA, he admitted to me that my letter did not get into Mir. Prices hands until four days after my letter was received.
 Have CO-Operated
 "We have co-operated with the Housing Authority to the utmost ex- tent and live up to all the rules and regulations of the USTIA. At the present time our men are still working for $500 per day, even though our wage scale is 5000 per day, due to the fact that the general contract on the project was let almost two years ago, at the time our wage scale was $500 per day. We avoided all kinds of jur- isdictional disputes due to our promise to the Housing Authority that we would not go out on strike as a result of jurisdictional disputes.
 ''But we certainly do not expect to lower our standards because the

negligence on the part of the labor relations division of the USHA. We feel, on the other hand, that in view of the bricklayers situation we are being discriminated against. We hope, therefore, that this matter will be taken up with the USHA as soon as possible.
 Employment Service
 2 About two weeks ago an adver- tlsement for painters appeared in one of the local newspapers. This ad was put in the paper and paid for by the Conn. Employment Service, affiliated with the U. s. Employment Service. I immediately protested to the Service, claiming that 1t IS not the function of the Service to advertise for help. The function is only to procure jobs for men that they have on their rolls, but 1t is not their job to look for men, if
The union times., 1941-05-24

men are not available. I also protested their practice of sending men to fly by-night contractors who are not cov- cred by insurance, either workrnen's compensation or unemployment com pensation, or who may not be in a position to meet the payroll at the end of the week.
 ''As result of my protest Major Leonard J. Maloney, Director of the State Service had conference with me, and we agreed that something should be done to eliminate this sit uation. It was agreed that we both write to Washington in an effort to get permission for the Conn. Ser vice from the U. s. Employment Service to make a ruling whereby contractors who are not covered by unemployment or workmen's com pensation insurance, will not be supplied with help by the Service.
 Sends Union-Times
 Enclosed you will find two news paper extracts from The Union Times, our local labor newspaper, one of which appeared on Sat. May 10th and the other on Sat. May 17th, which explain the. situation more fully.
 Enclosed you will also find copy of the letter that I sent to Major Ma loney. I wish this matter be taken up with the U. s. Employment Service and our request be concurred with.
 "Fraternally yours,
 William Zuckerman."

High School Seniors Visit
 New Haven Labor Temple

A group of g seniors from the Lincoln High School i'm New York City visited the Labor Temple last Saturday evening and heard from several representatives of organized labor as part of their project to study New Haven and the relations between labor and progressive cOm- munity activity.
 Willard Uphaus, delegate to the New Haven Central Labor Council from the Teachers Union, and execu- tive secretary of the National Religion and Labor Foundation, presided at the meeting. A short statement by each of the representatives of organized labor was followed by a question period in which the high school seniors demonstrated their interest in the in- huence of organized labor on all-prog- reSsive fronts.
 Solomon Alperovitz, secretary of the Council, outlined the great gains made by the Amalganated Association of Street Railway Employees, Division 281, of which he is president, in rais- ing the standards of working condi- tions on New Haven trolley and bus lines. He further said: Tt has been organized labor in the United States that has really compelled the country to live up to the Declaration of In- dependence"

'Use Brake, Not Horn,"
 Auto Ace To Fair Sex

Women drivers are too fond of the cars horn, thinks Philip Lapides of the Broadway Auto Driving School, 89 Dixwell Avenue, only institution of its kind in the city.
 Phil and his staff have helped thousands to pass state drivers license tests. His horn theory in full: Use the horn and brake together, for if it's important enough to sound warning it's just as important to apply the brake; or stress the brake and not the horn."

T. J. Lyons Asks For
 Better Labor Laws

NEW YORK; plea that Con- gress, instead of concentrating on measures such as the Vinson bill, strengthen existing labor laws so as to provide speedy punishment for re- calcitrant employers, was made by Pres. Thomas J. Lyons of the State Federation of Labor.
 The plea was in a letter to the Leviton Strike Committee of Local B, Intl. Bro. of Electrical Workers (AFL), in which Lyons accepted an invitation to address the 1,700 strikers.
 "The 8-month-old Leviton strike is a brutal example of how a stubborn employer by means of evasion and legal delay can escape his responsi- bilities under the labor laws of this country Lyons sand.
 American labor has enlisted in this fight (againSt the dictator countries) for the duration of the struggle. But 1t seems to me that if our own econ- omic dictators like MT. Leviton (Isi- dore Leviton, president of the struck Leviton Mfg. Co.) are permitted to condemn American workers and their families to starvation, then Congress, instead of concerning itself with leg islation like the Vinson bill, should put teeth into the existing national labor relations laws so that recalcitrant employers may be speedily punished for evading their responsibilities under the 1aw.'

Under the law of the United States" he said, linen and women are free to join unions of their own choosing, and bargain collectively. As representatives of your departments, 1t is your duty to assist in this un- dertaking which means so much to the workers of Connecticut and to yourselves"
 MT. Cederholm pointed out that job security, seniority, improved working conditions and increased wages had been achieved in all parts of the country by the Machinists Union and that the Union had lowered its initiation fee in order to help the Winchester employees.
 MT. Feinmark pledged the support of the Central Labor Council and said that he was convinced both employers and employees gained by uniozation of industry.
 All of us want stable industrial relations he said. 'sThe United States is engaged in a tremendous campaign for production. At the same time, the cost of living is mounting steadily and workers must increase their earning power if they are to take care of their families properly. Adjustments can best be made by negotiations between re- representative of the employees and the employers. And it is only through a bona fde union that the employer can deal with his em- plOyes. Most of the largest firms in the United States have found it helpful to have 8 union in their plants, and l believe that New Haven is no exception. The men and women at Winchester are loyal, patriotic American citizens, and no one can object to their desire for reasonable pay rates, a reasonable work week, and good working con- ditions."

|Servative" to mean one who saves what IS best of the past. He claimed to be both a conservative and a radical stating that a radical is a man who is not satisfied with superficial ex- planation of things, but goes to the root of a question.
 He explained his interest in labor by telling of his own past, one of hard work, and also by his interpretation of the life of Christ, who identified Himself with the common man.
 Six Freedoms
 Dr. Peet then spoke of six free doms in which he believed, and which seem to him more practical to work for than the general liberties" that politicians speak of when they talk of democracy. They are: The free dom of man to determine the con- ditionS under which he shall work; unions have to a certain extent ac- complished this, he said. Next, and companion to the first is the freedom of man to choose what and where he shall buy. The cooperative consumers movement helps here Third, he advo- cated the freedom of man to express himself politically. This he said, is practically impossible at the present time when both political parties are moving along the same line, leaving the voter little choice. Fourth, he spoke of the freedom of Americans to keep America out of war.
 Fifth, we should be free to house all those who need it in decent and clean places at a reasonable rent. He told of the work of the New Haven Housing Authority along these lines. And sixth, he spoke of the freedom of religion, which would be gained with the others.
 s'Men must have the right to feel that there is a power that cares," he said. ssThey are not free to feel SO if they are continually struggling against poverty and bad working conditions" he concluded.

Community Benefit

To demonstrate this point in local experience, William Zuckerman of Painters Local l86, and Theodore ROchleau, secretary of the New Haven Industrial Union Council, CIO, both showed the gains made in Housing and other local benefits ac- quired through the efforts of or- ganized labor. Mr.. ROchIeau also pointed out that State Senator Joseph T. Rourke is an example of the possibility of labOr's engaging in direct political action by sending its members and friends to the leg islatures.
 Strauss, Davis Speak
 Other speakers were Walter E. Davis, member of the Board of Trust eeS of the Central Labor Council, and David Strauss, assistant secretary of Local 404, Hotel & Restaurant Elm ployees.
 At the end of the meeting Miss Elmina Lucke, Research Director of the Lincoln High School, who had arranged the visit for her pupils, ex- pressed appreciation for the evening. Copies of the Union Times were given to the visitors, and they were taken on tour of the offices in the Labor Temple.

Clergyman Tells C.L.C. of "Sie Freedoms" :; Says Major Political Parties Follow
 Along Same Line

Labor and labor's friends joined together to honor Rev. Edward L.. Peet on May Is at farewell dinner at the Hotel Carde Thursday night. Later that evening Mir. Peet spoke before large audience at the New Haven Central Labor Council and was presented with a gift of appre- citation for his work for and with the Council by Harold V. Feinmark, president.
 New Haven's' Loss
 The occasion was the tranSferral of Dr. Peet to a new church in Hartford. Speakers at the dinner were unanim- ous in their praise of his work in many liberal causes and agreed that New Haven was suffering a great loss in his leaving.
 The dinner was given jointly by the groups which were represented by speakers. Each one had had the bene- fit of MT. Peet's active association.
 Speakers
 Willard Uphaus, executive secre- tary of the National Religion and Labor Foundation presided, and the speakers included: Harold V. Fein- mark; Theodore ROcheleau, secre- tary of the New Haven Industrial Union Council, C.I.O.; Clarence Bremner, representing the congre- gation of Rev. Peet's church, St. Andrews Methodist; David Hedley of Labor's Non-Partisan League; Professor Liston Pope of the Labor Committee of the New Haven Con. sumers Cooperative; Rev. Philip Gordon Scott, speaking for the New Haven Council of Churches; Dor. othy Laird of the Keep America Out of War Committee; and State Senator Joseph T. Rourke, who spoke of Dr. Peet's work in the low cost public housing movement.

Two Given Heavy Fines
In Permit Fraud Cases

In what was described by court
attaches as the most severe penalty
ever given for a violation of this
kind, Police Court Judge George D.
Nelson yesterday sentenced Robert
L. Wanzer, colored, 1920 Corcoran
street NV. to pay fines totaling
$3.50 or spend $50 days in Jail for
twice obtaining drivers permits by
Misrepresentation. The usual penalty
for this offense, 1t was said, is a $25
6ne. -..
James L. Carter, colored, of 1916
Corcoran street NV, who also was
charged with obtaining permit by
misrepresentation, received fine of
$50 or so days in Jail. His offense,
police said, also occurred on jan
uary 81, 1899. Carter also was fined
500 or 80 days in jail for colhding
with another vehicle last Friday and
failing to stop to give assistance and
identity himself.

Metropolitan Areas
Again Show Most
Population Growth
48 Per Cent Of America
Living in Major Cities
Or Adjoining Suburbs
- the Associated Press.

~ t4lc ASoOClatco EiCoo.
Americas growing big cities ac-
counted for nearly all the Nations
population increase in the last
decade.
This was revealed today by Gen.
sus Bureau study showing that g.
95s, ,703 persons, or 47.8 per cent of all
residents in the continental United
States, live in 140 metropolitan
areas. This was 8,2O5 ,O58 more than
lived in such areas in 1880 and COM
pares with Nations total population
increase of 8,894.22 in the 10 years.
A metropolitan area is city or
group of cities and their environs
which form contiguous area in
which the average population is at
least $50 per square mile.
Thus New York's metropolitan
area, the worlds largest, contained
ii,690,520 persons in 1910, although
New York City proper counted only
T,454,99
Because of congestion within city
limits most of the larger cities grow
faster in their metropolitan areas
than within their municipal boun-
diaries. Growth in the decade was
shown for each of the major met
ropolitan areas, although city limit
figures had indicated declines for
such cities as Philadelphia, Cleve-
Land, st. Louis and Boston.
Rankings Of the first 10 areas were
about the same as 10 years ago,
however, except that the Los Angeles
district edged a little ahead of the
Philadelphia area for third place,
and the San Francisco area nudged
st. Louis out of eighth place.

Writer'S Cramp' From
Machines Beset Census

Punch machine cramp-perhaps
an acute form of the old-fashioned
writers cramp' and perhaps a
more serious condition-now is hit
ting the girl operatives of Uncle
Sans gigantic brass brain in Wash
ington.
In the Bureau of the Census
alone there have been 180 cases
since January /. Arms become
sore, swollen and painful. They
are placed In sings, and the girls
eral days.
Gases have shown up among girls |
working on both the hand-powered
and electric powered punch ma
chinles, with which large part of
the Governments business now is
done. A surprisingly large number
OF cases appear among operators
of the electric machines, Census
Bureau officials say.
Tendon Area Seen Affected.
The diagnosis of the condition
still is in some doubt Several
physicians have pronounced it to
be condition known to neurologists
as teno- -sinovitis, which is essen
TALLY an increase in the amount of
sinovial fluid surrounding the ten
dons-the dense, fibrous and tough
tissues which mark the ends of the
arm and finger muscles. There may
also be inflammation of the sheaths,
about the thickness of writing paper,
which cover these tendons.
Ordinarily the malady cures it
self in few days. Massage is be-
ing advised, and in extreme cases,
where the sinovial fluid becomes
jelly-like in consistency, minor
surgery may be necessary.
Other Washington neurologists
believe that the condition may be
primarily nental-more akin than
true teno-sinovitis to writer's
cramp" and "typist's cramp" For
these an organic basis seldom has
been found.
Few Gases i'm Other Offices.
At the Employees Compensation
Commission, where disability claims
are filed, it is reported that few
cases of this trouble were noted
during the last census. Few COM
plants have come from other Gov
ernment Offices, although similar
machines are in use.
One explanation advanced is that
the employees in other agencies do
not work at as steady a rate, be-
cause there is not the same volume
Of punching work to be done.
The condition is recognized as a
legitimate cause for disability COM
pensation.
