A survey of the situation arising out of the doing of job printing by students in Connecticut's trade school in competition with printing shops will be undertaken as a re- suit of a conference just held in Hartford between representatives of organized labor and officials of the State Board of Education. Or ganized labor was represented by Harold V. Feinmark, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council; Gerald J. Dineen of New Britain; and Herbert Murray of Stamford.

 One of the practical results of the conference was the suggestion that If the printing students in the trade schools require practical experience beyond that given them in the trade schools, that they do the printing work for the State Board of Education. In the meantime the survey of the gen. |eral situation will be made, and an- |other meeting will held in the fall |when the results of the survey will |be studied.
 The State Board of Education was represented by Alonzo c. Grace, Commissioner of Education; Albert I. Prince, chairman of the Board; and Augustus s. Boynton, of the Division of Vocational Train ing. Also present were all the printing instructors of the trade schools in Bridgeport, Meriden, Stamford, New Britain, and Hart ford.

 and then directs them to go out in the yard and pick an equal num- Der from the other employees. Would that be called a company union or nOt?"
 Wage Increases Limited
 Fairfield asks why in the case of the M. B. Company was an increase in wages made before demands of employees were presented, with that increase only going to employees mak- ing less than 75 cents per hour? Continuing he says: We agree that the lower paid help deserves a raise in this low paying plant. Isn't | it true that only a few make over 75 cents an hour, and also deserve a raise? Why not pay the prevailing wage under contract, and keep the help satisfied, and maintain the pres ent personnel"
 Fairfield pledged that the Inter- national Association of Machinists could place card carrying machinists in contract shops on decent" pay and said that the International was CO., operating with the re-armament pro- gram to an extent complimented by many. The compliment was for meth ods employed in placing help where most needed i'll time of a crisis such as existing at present.
 Answers Critics
 In answering critics of strikes in the country he stated, elf the fair-minded person will get the other side of the walkOut story it will show in most of these cases involving the A.F.L. that the sanction to strike has been granted after very careful inves- tigation, and that the employer used the same tactics being used right here in New Haven. We have learned by experience all the hardships endured by these men and women working under slave conditions.
 ''This is conservative section of the country, and all that the working people desire is their right to bargain collectively. They want protection in SEMI ORITY RIGHTS and in the WAGE SCALES PAID in other parts of the country. Living costs are mounting rapidly. Pro- tect your job in bona-fied union and don't be fooled by company unions or pay raises when a real union starts to organize" warned Fairfield.
 Generosity?
 He pointed out that these last seem ingly generous gestures are generally made to discourage organization work. He then questioned how long pay in creases will last and seniority rights preserved when the bona-fide union is not at hand to continue it's vigilant plugging for the cause of the work ling man.
 Union Protection Needed

result of what the authoritative

The primary aim of the Axis pow

to prevent American aid from reach
ing England, they said, citing a
German submarine attack on a
British convoy as the first answer
to Roosevelts shoot first" order.
Big Question to Fascists.
The big question in Fascist minds
was where American warships were
going to shoot first.
Gayda interpreted Secretary OF
