Hollywood, May "a.


WHEN Jeanette Macdonald
W and Gene Raymond re-
turned from a recent New York
sojourn they told us that one Of
their most interesting expert
ences was a ride through Central
Park in a hanson cab, and then
added that they are wont to do
that quaint little thing when
ever they are together in the
Big Town.
The clop, clop of the horses
hoofs right in the heart of
Gotham, and the beauty of the
park against the Fifty-ninth
street skyline as a back drop
is a pleasure they rarely miss.
All" thought he, IAN idea for
a Sunday story"
So, henceforth. our chief query
upon seeing stellar Hollywood
ties AT parties. on the set or a
chance meeting at cocktail time
was:
what do YOU do i'm New York,
aside from seeing the new shows
and dropping i'm at the popular
rendezvous, where one sees prac-
tically everybody that happens

For when they first met
through a mutual friend Dean
was playing in the Theater
Guilds production of They
Shall Not Die" Antoinctte was
rehearsing in a new play and
the day being Sunday, sans A
matinee or rehearsal. Antoinette
thought a ferryboat trip TO New
Jersey would be just about
right.
Upon reaching t'other side,
Antoinette spied a deserted rail-
way and recalled that the yen
10 walk the railroad ties was
a desire that had been repressed
since the days of her childhood
when watchful adult eyes had
invariably thwarted the high adj
venture.
SO walk the ties they did.
And now. every visit 10 the
Big Town includes a ferryboat
junket and a hop and a skip
down the railroad track.

House Torn Down

The Ogden Goelet house was
torn down shortly after Mary

 Want $50 Pension
 The Union, through its State board, is seeking a pension of $50 Ter month per member, and is liking that the Connecticut Com 'any pay the difference between that the men will obtain in the lay of a pension under the Social ecurity Act, and the $50 which is ought. The State Board has yointed out to Richard J. Bennett, kce-president and general manager Ii the Connecticut Company, who epresents the Company in the Segotiations, that in Worcester, lass, the trolleymen and bus rivers have just obtained a pen on in their contract, with the local ublic utility paying the entire cost. The pension the men in Con- 'ecticut want calls for retirement $ the age of 65, after twenty years t service. If a man is disabled trough no fault of his own, he aould be able to retire at 60, with ae company paying the cost of the ension.

ways to the M. B. Manufacturing Co. and the gasoline station were not blocked.
 A guard or watchman at the com panys gate also told police that Bit ger "was wrong," but said that he did not hear abusive language. THE UNION TIMES in te1e- phone conversation with Henry Davis, Esso Sales representative in New Ha- ven, 1easor of the station to Bitzer, asserted that his company had let the station for a period of one year. "Mr. Bitzer is not authorized or qualified to speak for Colonial Beacon Oil Co.,, as he is only the leasee of the service station owned by that company and he has no connection with the Colonial Beacon Oil Co. His assertions are purely personal" added Davis.
 Even Trolleys Stop
 After police had "vindicated" the distribution of THE UNION TIMES many employees who at first seemed timid to accept copies returned for them.
 Highlight of the M. B. incident came when a trolley car motorman slowed down to inquire: 'Who's hurt?" Said one of the Union men. ''No one, we're just distributing THE UNION TIMES, the AFT newspaper in New Haven" Where upon the mOtorman exclaimed ''Hurry, buddy, give me a copy I've got to keep moving"
The union times., 1941-06-07

Efforts of George Bitzer, leasee of an Esso Service station at 1O66 State Street, adjacent to the M. B. Manufacturing Co.,, to stop or curtail distribution of THE UNION TIMES were thwarted by police who saw no law violation. The labor paper contained an article which described the dis charge of a M. B. employe be- cause of union activity.
 The distribution was being made by two members of the AFL Machinists Union.

Fragrant and wide defiance of the National Labor Relations Act in New Haven was charged this week by Claude W. Fairfield, now in the city as a representa- tive of the Grand Lodge of The International Association of Ma chinists.
 The accusation followed the discharge of Lewis Stuart an em- ploye of the M. B.

Workers voted for affiliation with the International Association of Machinists. Some 300 men are employed at the plant.
 Beyond Expectations
 Alleging violation of governmen rulings Fairfield said:

wORKMEN's COMPENSATION

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
 This article is devoted to a dis cussion on the Workmen's Compen- sation Act as it stands at the present time.
 How many members of organ ized labor know anything at all about Workmen's Compensation? !? How many Business Agents know the law sufficiently to explain to their members just what to do after they are injured, and how to com pute the compensation they are to receive, etc.? All Business Agents should be familiar with our Work mems Compensation law and like wise members of labor, organized and unorganized should have knowledge of the law so that they may be able to save themselves time and money in the event they have an accident.
 All Not Covered
 Are all worlmen covered by this law? The answer is no. Employers of five or more are covered under the Connecticut Law. In other words If man is working for a contractor who employs less than five persons and he is injured or killed he is not protected under our law.
 The employer may have his business in his wife's name or set up in some other way that would prohibit a work man from suing. The result would be that if he lost a leg or an eye, he could collect no compensation If the employer or contractor had nothing in his name.
 Choosing of Doctor
 Can you choose your own doctor when you are injured? The answer is no. Some insurance companies will permit the employees of policy holders to go to any doctor they see fit. However, the law specifical-
