Collective Bargaining Gains Include Increases of 8 to

 Vice-President Eric Peterson
 of the International Association
 of Machinists, AFL affiliate, an-
 nounces that the unions mem-
 bership in the nations major
 aircraft firms had swept over the
 5O,OOO mark and that many
 thousand more union members employed in airplane parts plants have also been brought under the
 union banner.
 Collective bargaining gains in the aircraft industry are also numerous. At the Boeing Aircraft Company's plant in Seattle the Machinists se- cured wage increases of 8 to 151z cents an hour for over 12,000 em- ployes, bringing the scales to the high est point in the aircraft industry.
 Other Machinists' advances were higher wages negotiated with 65 cart age firms in Detroit; 39 trucking con- panies in Portland, Ore; IS auto shops in Cheyenne, Wyo.; 10 factory branch truck concerns in St. Louis.

than the reactionary amendments to the Act and for that reason kill the Act?
 UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSA-
 TON ACT
 The Secretary in his report tries to convey the idea that he was re- spOnsible for the improvements to the Unemployment Compensation Act through his conferences with the employers.
 Is It True?
 What are the real facts? The En- ployer representatives would never agree to any amendments or improve ments to the Act in a million con- ferences, if they were not interested in obtaininug the concession of the $500 cutoff which in other words meant saving of over $2,000,000 a year to the Employers in this State. It was mainly the threat on the part of the labor men in the Senate that they would use their influence to de- feat the $3O0O cutoff that made the Employers agree to the liberal changes to this Act. Let 1t be clear therefore that 1t was not the Secretary's con- ferences with the Employers that brought about these changes but the energetic and vigorous fight on the part of organized labor and their friends in the Senate that brought about these improvements. I sincerely hope that the delegates to this con- vention will not go on record as slug ging its real friends who carry union cards and allow the real enemies of our labor movement to be ignored solely because this is the Secretary's desire.
 In my next column will give you further facts to show you why l disapprOve of the methods of the Secretary in the legislature.

not by the industrialists. 1 will agree with him in this statement that the politicians killed the bill but it was those politicians who were the hatchet men for the manufacturers and fellow members of the Secretary's political party. In my opinion this is the req son that he fails to mention the names of these men in order to protect them and instead attacks members of or ganized labor and their friends.
 THE FACTS
 The subcommittee of the Judici- ary first brought out a good State Labor Relations Act. 1t was prac- tically the same as the New York State Act and was acceptable to practically everybody including the Secretary, at least in the main. l likewise agreed that this was good bill and it was not until the enemies of labor in the House of Represen- tatives started to amend this bill that it was cut to pieces. Why didn't the Secretary mention their names to you? | sat in on the committee and know who offered the amend ments and what men supported them. The Secretary also knows these men but he has a reason for protecting these men. Surely you know why!
 It is human to err and possibly some of the labor men on the Judiciary did make a mistake in accepting some of the amendments. But 1t was done in good faith and only after the House chairman warned me that if you want State Labor Relations Act you had better accept some of these amend ments or take the responsibility for losing the entire act.
 Whoever expected that the Secre- tary's political friends in the legisla- ture would be even more reactionary

 session of the legislature did the Secretary ever call a meeting of the union men in the Senate or House of Representatives; he chose as usual his antiquated method of going to the manufacturers representatives instead of seeing the friends of organized labor.
 STATE LABOR RELATIONS ACT
 In the report of the Secretary on the defeat of the State Labor Rela- lions Act, he says that there was no good reason why the Federation bill was not passed at the last session of the General Assembly. He says that it was greed for a job that killed the bill. "What JOb?" "WhO wanted what job?" Why doesn't the Secretary name the man who wanted the job he is talking about. ''Did I seek a job?" We'll let me tell you that it is a matter of pub- lie record that I refused a job at the last session of the legislature. 1t is obvious that the Secretary by inuendo is taking Senator Albert Coles, Senator James Ceelan and myself to task in his report. We happen to be members of the op- pOsite party to the one the Secre- tary is affiliated with. I wonder if that is the reason for the attack?
 The Secretary would have you be- lieve that it wasn't the Employers Association that killed the State Labor Relations Act but that it was the union men that killed the bill. As far as that accusation is concerned I can without hesitation leave it to the dele gates to the convention to judge whether or not the labor men, the union men, killed the bill or the manu- lecturers. He further states that the bill was killed by the politicians and

sociation were greeted by Mayor John w. Murphy of New Haven at the start of the convention. Speakers ad- dressing the body included John J. Egan, executive secretary of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor, and Anthony Merlino, third vice-president of the Journeymen Barbers Interna- tional Union of America.
 MT. Merlino, the international repre- sentative was greeted warmly by the delegates who appreciated his humor and listened intently to his counsel.
 MT. Spadola's report follows:
 We are in the middle of an organ izational campaign here in New Ha- ven, which hasn't as yet reached its peak. We are confident of success. We are getting full cooperation from the New Haven Central Labor Council which has always been ready to assist us at a minutes notice.
 "We have already negotiated con- tracts with many employers securing a five dollar a week increase for our members. For the first in the history of the labor movement in Connecticut a barbers' union has successfully at- tained an agreement with hospital.
 "Vice-president Anthony Merlino was of great assistance in bringing employers around during negotiations with various employers. The contract has also been renewed with the Hotel Taft where we are now meeting.
 "We are glad to report that Labor now has its own paper, THE UNION TIMES"

 BEGINNING OF THE A.F.L.
 The Western Labor Union, founded in 1903, copied very much the American Federation of Labor in its original workings. It issued separate International Charters to groups, it had the W. F. of M., United Railway Union, Hotel and Restaurant Employes of which l was the general president at its founding, besides many directly affiliated unions such as the Federal Unions we have today. Many know the final result of it all. It failed because of a number of reasons. ''Big Bill'' Haywood whom l knew very we'll and will write of later, was its last President.
 Edwards Boyce retired as president of the Western Federation of Miners and Charles H. Mover succeeded him. Clarence Smith, secretary of the American Labor Union, afterwards was elected Socialist mayor of Butte, Montana. Father Haggerty, heard, was unfrocked as a priest of the Catholic Church.
