BEER COMES BACK

When the beer came back as a legal beverage l was running a Lunch Drive Inn place in Denver. I bought a beer license and here is where I had my chance to help the boys out. It was quite job to get the draught beer that people were calling for as the breweries were unprepared and did not have kegs enough to furnish it. The Golden Brewery" furnished it ahead of the other breweries and got it, but that happened to be the one brewery that the union could not or ganize, SO I changed to the Tivoli brand. As the breweries commenced to hit their stride, they were looking for customers instead of we looking for them, and the tactics were to have cars drive up to the stand, and drivers call for "Go1den Beer" and drive away when not able to obtain it.

 THE UNION TIMES,
 New Haven, Conn.
 Dear Sir Two weeks ago I was nominated as candidate for alderman representing the ninth ward on the Republican ticket, and, after long and serious consideration I find it neces- sary to decline the nomination for the following reasons:
 As trade unionist and leader ill New Haven and supporter of the pro- gressive youth movement in the city and state for many years, 1 firmly be- lieve that the primary issue of this election is the smashing of Hitler and Hitlerism both here and abroad.
 We must have at this time the unity of all peoples and parties to support the foreign policy of our government i'll giving full aid to the brave peo- pies of Britain, China and the Soviet Union to drive the beast Hitler and his clicque off the face of the earth.
 Since the foreign policy of both the state and local Republican parties is in doubt, therefore decline nomina- tion for alderman in the ninth ward and cannot support them in the com ing election but will support the trade union movement, and aid young peo- pie in gaining extensions of jobs and job training, education, health and recreation.

A CHALLENGE

If these few individuals think for a moment that we in the New Haven Central Labor Council will take this challenge lying down they are very much mistaken. If these men want open warfare in the labor movement instead of cooperation they will get it.
 If they cannot see beyond the end of their noses that such an attitude IS futile, useless and is only playing into the hands of the Chambers of Commerce, then they are not fit to be organizers for labor unions.

 HIT COMPANY UNION
 The company has handed out five cents an hour increases to a selected few for their efforts to build company union, Good rich says. However, according to Goodrich, these attempts have backfired. ''The men have turned down all sO-called inde- pendent propositions. They've told me that they want the bene- fit of the half-century expert ence the union has and the full strength of the organized labor movement"

HOW TO UNIONIZE

This went on for some days and it was easy to see it was boycott. I waited for the next fellow to drive up and opened up on him. I told him to ''tell that man that is sending you here that as soon as he gets right with the union I will give him a break and also use his beer with the others. I was not troubled any more and shortly after the Golden Brewery became union.

Closed Shop Is
 Upheld By Court

TRENTON.-The closed shop was upheld by the court of errors and ap- peals, highest court in New Jersey. Closed shop contracts have been legal ized "as matter of public policy" by both Federal and state statutes, the court said.
 Reversing decision by Vice Chan cellor William F. Sooy, the court up- held the closed shop agreement between the United Oystermen's Union (AFL) and F. F. East Co. The decision pointed out that, without union pro- lection, migratory workers in the Del aware Bay oyster industry would be subject to exploitation.

Federal Aid Perhaps

The recent declaration of Yale Medical School authorities that the Naugatuck Valley may be breeding ground of in- fantile paralysis germs is disturbing, if not somewhat panic-provoking What grounds the eminent physicians have for their claims remain to be expounded to the general satisfaction of health author ities throughout the valley, as we'll as the state. However, the general theory that the Naugatuck River Valley is badly contaminated through the practice of emptying raw sewage into the stream goes without argument. We all know 1t; have known it for years.
 Waterbury usually bears the brunt of such criticism and perhaps the city should for it is the greatest offender in stream pollution because of the size of the city itself and the multiplicity of manufac- turing industries within its confines. Of course most health officials say that factory wastes are not as injurious to public safety as is raw sewage. But nevertheless it is admitted that any scheme for cleaning up the Naugatuck River Valley must ultimately take into account both sewage and factory wastes.
 Having gone over this problem at least once a month for the past ten or fifteen years it is very much an old and familiar story to this writer, but one that never fails to interest him and to win some sort of an effort at solution. Long ago we raised the point oi some sort of a Naugatuck Valley authority With power to rid the area of stream pollution not on a locality scale, but on the huge scale of cleaning up the entire valley This could only be done, probably, with federal or state permission and funds. Presumably Washington could be interested in prof. ect of this nature, particularly so at time when it is keenly interested in the welfare of defense industries and the communities in which they operate.
 If community pride forbids the accep- tance of federal aid to bring about sewage-free valley, then it may have to be brought home forcibly by the State Water Commission that one by one the offending towns in the valley must come into line with their program of modernized sewage control. In this case, Waterbury will be no exception. It will be forced to spend
 millions necessary to complete the
 adv well-started sewage system that M nately will end all stream pollution
 ar as we are concerned. There are 't-cuts to this accomplishment, but s ar no one has cared to explore them.
 l ay be that the districts new congress men, when and If, might find one of his
 duties that of promoting Nauga-
 Valley anti-pollution campaign.
