 Clear Decks ForNewDriive
Attanasio Elected Secretary Treasurer; Organizing
 Meetings Planned

New Haven Local 2l5 of the JOurneymen Barbers Interna- tiOnal Union of America this week cleared its decks for the launching of a new Organiza- tiOnal drive by choosing Joseph AttanasiO, a member of the Local since 1901, to fill the vacancy in the office of Secretary-T Treasurer, caused by the resignation of Dominic IannOne.
 Iannone, who held the office for the past six years, is leaving the trade to take a position in the transportation industry and is now a member of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Team sters. The present term expires on January list, l942.
 MEETINGS PLANNED
 The city, together with West Ha- ven, East Haven and Hamden, all under the jurisdiction of Local 215, has been divided into sections to facilitate the organizational drive. Meetings will be held on a sectional basis. The objective of the drive is to bring all of the $50 barbers in this area into the Local. Last May the Local signed contracts with approxi- mately 150 shops employing close to 200 barbers, which raised the base wage $500 per week. The local aims to extend this raise in pay to all the barbers in the area under its jurisdic- tion by organizing them into the A. F. of L.

MORE CONCERNING MIR. w. PECLER

Several letters and some phone calls have been forthcoming since difference of opinion with Mir. W. Pegler was expressed in this column last week.
 IS PECLER SICK?
 wonder what form of disease con- taminates a man like Pegler that forces him to earn his huge salary condemning the entire American labor movement because a few racketeers are members of our various labor unions?
 Is 1t possible that he is ignorant of the fact that the American labor movement is responsible for such humanitarian laws as the Work mems Compensation Act" whereby workingmen and women are given protection when they are injured at their daily work?
 RESULTS IN CONN.
 Here in our own State of Con. necticut men and women employed in industry received no protection whatsoever prior to 1914 when our first Workmen's Compensation Law was passed. This law was placed on our statute books only after a long uphill fight by the officers and members of the Connecticut Fed eratiOn of Labor. Year after year labor men fought for this law and now due to their efforts our labor ing people are given adequate pro- tection in case of accident due to injury while employed in industry rr
