Teamsters Win
 Picket Issue

Secondary picketing has been held constitutional by the Colarado supreme court.
 There is no question that a state may not prohibit peaceful persuasion through peaceful picketing, notwith- standing that the occasioning labor dispute IS not an immediate employer employe one," ruled Supreme Court Justice Knous. "Such a ban on free communication is inconsistent with the guarantee of freedom of speech"
 Reversing lower court ruling, the high court voided an injunction re- straining Local B, International Brotherhood of Teamsters Chauffeurs Warehousemen & Helpers (AFL), from picketing the Buckingham Transportation Co. The company had insisted on driving its trucks through a picket line at an auction company's warehouse.

1000 Whiskey Workers May Picket Retail Stores
 Not Cooperating

Organized labor throughout Connecticut is rallying to the support of Local Al, Distillery Workers Union, who are picket ing the l.. C. Bates Co.,, of Hart ford and New Haven, as part of their campaign to bring the benefits of A.F.L. unionism to the firms employees. L. C. Bates Co. are distributors of the pro- ducts of Frankfort Distillers, Gold Seal Wine, Rum, Siboney, and various other items.
 CONN. LABOR NOTIFIED
 As a result of the activities of Local 41, shipment of these products from the distillers concerned has ceased. The Local, say Harry Haack and Harry Edlis, its able business agents, will continue to stop such goods wherever possible through the cooperation of the many thousands of A.F.L. members in Connecticut who have been notified that this firm is unfair to organized labor"
 "The dwindling sales of the L. C. Bates Co.,, and the loss of trade by retail liquor stores who handle the firms products will soon make itself sufficiently felt to bring about the of Bates employees" the business agents said.

TUBE BENDING

An agreement is being worked out by committees from the American Tube Bending plant, meeting with Goodrich, to be presented to the man. agement immediately after the ex- pected election The Union is confident that the company union did not show enough strength to be placed on the ballot. The work is so diversified that many conferences are necessary to in- sure complete coverage of all types of work in the proposed agreement.
 HIGH STANDARD
 As the fifteen minute stoppage, in- dicated, both High Standard plants are seething as a result of the indignation of the men caused by rate cutting without previous warning. Last Sun day a shop committee meeting re- ported that the management is hiring friends and relatives in an effort to build up machine based on nepotism. One employe reported from the floor, "The place is crawling with uncle stooges, cousin stooges, nephew stooges, all kinds of stooges."
 Another worker who was employed several years ago in the River Rouge plant in Dearborn, testified, Harry Bennett would be proud of the set-up we're working under.'
 Despite constant discrimina-
 ton on the part of the manage
 ment, the Union is continuing its
 successful drive to sign up the M.B. men.

 Bricklayers Unions

Chapman painting and decorating firm of 7 Howe Street, New Haven, which for years has re- fused to deal with organized labor, has asked for two weeks period Ito think over the possibilities of signing union agreement" The request was made by Dennison I.

8 Hour. Strike Does Job For Goodman Co.
Men Urged To Report Violations Immediately
 Nominations Sunday

Local 443, Teamsters Un- ion, which has one of the out standing records in Connecti- cut for organizing in recent months, and for giving help to the membership, took time out last week to make sure that firms which have signed with the Local live up to the terms of the contracts.
 This is a far cry from the propaganda that labor does not observe its agreements. Local 443, while faithfully liv- ing up to the terms of it's con- tracts, has found cases where employers fail to do the same, and this week announced that all firms would be held to the strict letter of their agree ments.
 
 Coodman's New York and Con- necticut Transfer Corporation was brought back into the terms of the Regional Contract with Local 443 by an eight hour strike against Coodman's payment of men under the pump," and on a salary basis, and the firms failure to pay for waiting time in terminals, and breakdown time.
 Negotiations with the Good man Corporation were concluded by Business Agents Johnny Pisano, s'Blackie" Borzain. and "Sailor'' Martin.
 WARNING ISSUED
 Local 443 issues general warning to firms not observing the conditions of contracts made with the Teamsters Union that similar action to that taken in the Goodman case will be taken if contracts are not lived up to-
