NEW YORK-Many workers past 65 are declining old-age benefits in order to take defense jobs, the Social Security Board reports.

RAISES NEEDED HERE

Claude Fairfield, Grand Lodge Rep resentative of the Machinists Union, stated here today that charges had been filed from Alton with the Ma ton Labor Relations Board for viola tion of Sections 8-1, 8-2, 8-3 and 8-4 of the Wagner Act.
 'The action of the workers of the Western Cartridge Company in join ing the American Federation of Labor has already brought them concrete re- suits, and will bring them wage which will enable them and their families to maintain the American standard of living" Fairfield said. "The cost of living has increased al- most 25 per cent in the past year, and with important profits being made by firms which have defense contracts, 1t is imperative that raises be given ii workers are to make both ends meet. It is equally important for the men on the job to know that they are protected by contracts, by a seniority system, that they will receive regular vacations. In this way the wor kers will be in a position to give their utmost to the National Defense Program, which the American Fed eration of Labor supports 100 per cent"
 CONDITIONS ''DEPLORABLE"
 Wage conditions at Winchester are "deplorable," Fairfield said, adding that with strong union, Winchester employees will also be in a position to obtain the $.85 to $l.35 rates the Western Car fridge workers are negotiating for.
 Regular meetings are being held with representatives of the various departments i'm Winches- ter, Fairfield said. Those who have not seen him are asked to call the Hotel Carde (5-4144) or the New Haven Labor Temple, (7.2Ol9).

gency exists i'll Bristol in regard tc housing facilities" since "the popula- ton of Bristol has increased by sev- eral thousand because of the defense program"
 "All claims that private building concerns are solving the problem are false," the union says, adding: 'We firmly believe this claim has been made solely to prevent government action"
 PROGRAM
 The union asks the Congress siOnal committee to support the following program for Bristol: First, a defense housing project in a decent location; second, a rent control commission to see that no rents are advanced un- less general improvements to the property are made; third, ex- pansiOn of the original USHA program.

which indicate the possibility that the Government should be prepared to undertake the construction of approxi- mately 75,000 houses to fill the most urgent present needs.
 IMPORTANT!
 ''The importance of adequate housing in the defense program should be self-evident. Without housing for workers industries producing ships, planes, tanks, and other defense materials can- not function to full capacity.''

VERA.
(Continued from Page D BOARD INTERVIEWS

The strike was called for last Sunday, but upon the request of the National Mediation Board, was postponed. Fred Olds, A.F.L. organizer in Alton, charged that the company was stalling. He postponed the strike only after Western Cartridge agreed to re- sume negotiations. Olds had told the men at a union mass meet ing that the workers represen- tatives. were willing to resume negotiations without waiting for the Board to act, if the Com pany would bargain in "good faith" The Company holds $8,468,OOO in government muni- as

to get married even II we
couldn't get her parents con-

I'VE eloped. The first month
of our marriage was very happy
but after that. my wife told
me how her mother kept harp
ing on the fact that she could
have had q much better mar

prevailed upon my wife to break
OFF the marriage - so she left
me. 1 consented to the divorce.

West in an attempt to forget.
But the surcease of forgetful-
ness was not to be his, and this
kindled a cold flame of hatred
for his mother-in-law that con-

destroy her!

the intention of killing both Mr..
Cranston and Mrs. Cranston for

had a cast made of the killers

half an hour OF noisy
diving and spalshing, a deputy
came up with an old gun which
the farmer identified as his
missing weapon.
Gosney was convinced that
somewhere in the past lay the
key to this mystery, so he de-
ternined TO interview the Gram
ston relatives, friends and neigh

II was a discouraging job. One

of any real or fancied grievance
