Statesmen Of. Beer To Meet
 In New Haven
Wholesale Men Hold First Membership Gathering
 Wednesday, Nov. 5

Local 22,901, Wholesale Beer Sales men Union of Connecticut, will holt its first membership meeting on Wed nesday, Nov. 5, at 8 PM. in the La Dor Temple, New Haven. The un ion received its charter six weeks ago
 OPEN MEETING
 Arthur W. Carroll of New Ha- ven, secretary, business agent and State organizer for the local, declared, ''It will be an open meeting to stimulate the organ izatiOnal drive and to impress on all beer salesmen that ours is a
 union of and for beer salesmen only. The American Federation of Labor has given us complete jurisdiction over all beer sales
 men in the State."
 The union is seeking closed shoI agreements with Jacob Ruppert, Inc. Trommers Beer and the Christian Feigenspan Brewing Company at the present time. All contracts will have seniority clauses and assure the mem bership job security.
 Carroll pointed out that the ex banding defense industries in Connec ticut will affect the beer trade. "Firs of all, rising prices in other drink. will create larger demand for beel and secondly the new people coming into the American Federation of La Dor as a result of the organizations drives, will welcome union distributed beer. Finally the union will cut ou across the counter chiseling anc establish uniform expense rate: throughout the State. Only a bona. fide union can eliminate these evils

FitzSinnOnS

My labor record speaks for it. self," said Thomas R FitzSimmOns, Republican nominee for mayor in commenting on the current cam paign in New Haven.
 During the past 10 years labor has not found very active friend in City Hall. I do not recall one instance when the present chief ex- ecutive has attempted in any way to settle labor difficulty in New Haven. l know that the chief ex. ecutive of the city is the representa- tive of all the people, of both par ties, and of the employer as we'll as the emplOye. However, I do believe that in certain instances it is the duty of mayor to offer him. self as a mediator especially in the early stages of conflict when the settlement of a minor difference might do away with a major break.
 ''OTHER INSTANCES''
 ''And there are other instances when a mayor should see to it that the board of mediation or other conciliatory bodies are called in with all possible speed. I do not think that hands-off policy works for the public good all the time.
 ''As I said before, my labor rec ord of 10 years gives me a work ing knowledge of the problems of both the employer and the em- plOye. I know labor because I have worked with labor and I speak from experience. l believe in a square deal for labor as we'll as for the employer and when l am elect ed mayor I shall not be silent or inactive when I believe it is my duty to speak and to act for the public good"

Fine Progress Made By Machinists-Wire Co.
 To Negotiate

Another breach caused by the pressure of the A.F.L. or ganizing drive in the New Haven district came this week when the Atlantic Wire Com pany in BranfOrd consented to National Labor Relations Board election to be held Tuesday, November 4. Will liam E. Hitchcock, Jr., vice. president, signed the consent agreement for the company, and Grand Lodge Representa- tive Clark Goodrich for the International Association of Machinists.
 Goodrich is confident that 8O%o of the workers will vote for the A.F.L. Article 3 of the agreement excepts clerical and supervisory employees and watchmen from voting. Article l3 assures immediate bargaining after the election if the Union is designated by a majority. The election will be held between 2:45 and 4 P. M.
 Article 13 reads:
 ''The employer agrees to bar gain collectively with the Union as the exclusive bargaining agency of all its employees in the unit indicat- ed in Section 3 above, in the event that the Union receives a majority of the ballots cast in said election.' .''
 The production and maintenance employees are now working at Is to BOG an hour below union scales. Goodrich declares that ssorganiza. ton in the A.F.L. will furthermore guarantee seniority rights, job se- curity, paid holidays, vacations with pay, overtime for Saturday and Sunday work, differential rates for night work, and the elimination of hazardous working conditions.'

LABOR TAKERS

This article is devoted to criti- cism of member of organized la- bOr who had the ego to tell the Common Council of the city of Middletown that large number of delegates to the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor convention were opposed to the U. s. Housing Pro- gram.
 If there is anything that makes my temperature rise it is when members of organized labor are fortunate enough to be elected to public office and then decide to play politics at the expense of the people who elected them to office.
 POOR EXAMPLE
 The person 1 have in mind is one John Dykas, a member of the Textile Workers Union in the city of Mid dletown. Dykas was a delegate to the Connecticut Federation of Labor convention held in Bridgeport recent ly. At that convention he told me he was opposed to the Housing Pro- gram and that he intended to vote against it when it came up for vote on that evening, Friday, Sept. 5, when the Common Council of the city of Middletown were to vote on whether or not they would go forward with a housing program under U. s. H. A.
 MT. Dykas certainly has a perfect right to vote for or against housing program for the city of Middletown, and so has any other alderman, coun- cilman or burgess the right to do the same thing if they really believe SC according to their conscience. In this case, however, I am positive MT. Dy- kas, who is supposed to be -a~Jemo- crat, was obviously voting against housing for the city of Middletowr because he was under the spell of a few people who are supposed to be labor leaders but instead are really more interested in getting jobs for

Murbhy:>

''On the basis of whatever is worth having is worth asking for, l urge members of organized labor and their friends to vote for all of the candidates of the Democratic party in the election to be held here on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
 ''As candidate for the office of mayor, l do not ask for your SUD- port merely because I have been a member of the labor movement since bOyhOOd, and not because I subscribe to the principles of trade uniOnism. I solicit your cOOpera- ton, just as l am appealing to all voters on the basis of the record which this administration has made for the past 10 years.
 ''Many people, including munich pal experts and investment spe- cialists, have said that this city is in fine financial condition and that our bonds are a prime investment.
 ''Taxes for l942 have been re- duced and city employees have been given 5 per cent raise for the months of October, November and December of this year and an inc crease of 10 per cent for the entire year of l942.
 REDUCED TAXES
 Reduced taxes will make the going a little bit easier for the home owner to carry on and will help the rent payer who cannot be asked to accept rent boosts be- cause of increased taxes, for the simple reason there will be a tax reduction.
 ''The action of the city in giving salary increases because of increas- ed living costs may prove an inc centive to other fair-minded em- plOyers to do likewise.
 ''Three new housing projects here are creditable. The move ment for them originated under this administration and received our full cooperation. I believe a new defense housing project is on the way and will provide employ ment for local workers and homes for those employed in defense in- dustries.
 "Many things have happened since l assumed the duties eff May or of this city on January l, 1882, but nothing occurring during that period gave me greater pleasure than the endorsement given my candidacy this year by the New Haven Central Labor Council. I hope that l may continue to merit the good will of organized labor in the years to come."

 Vigorous Campaign

Milton Mcdonald, known through out Connecticut as a progressive labor leader, has been waging a vigorous campaign for mayor of Bridgeport during the past 10 days.
 URGES F.D.R. SUPPORT
 Mcdonald is the nominee of the Democratic party and his first radio speech over WICC placed great emphasis on the inn pOrtance of having a Bridgeport city administration which would be directly in line with the lib eral policies of President Frank lin D. Roosevelt.
 He charged that Mayor McLevy was not giving the national admin istration the support to which 1t was entitled from a community so vital to national defense as Bridgeport is, and he made a frank appeal to the labor vote to support locally the tick ct of the President just as labor has supported the President nationally.
 Mcdonald has been receiving the active support of hundreds of labor men in his campaign, some of whom are speaking in his behalf and others are working night and day contacting voters on McDonalds behalf.

Is and 80 Cent
Pay Raises Won
By Rail Unions
Labor Expected to
Accept Agreement,
President Told
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

President Roosevelt was in
formed late today by his special
emergency board that compro-
mise grounds had been found for
settlement of the threatened
Nation wide railroad strike and
that this danger is seemingly
now averted.
In summarizing letter which
will precede formal report on a
week end of mediation activities
between railroad management and
labor, the board informed the Chief
Executive that the five operating
railroad brotherhoods shall receive
wage increases of rs cents day with
the IA cooperating unions granted
a basic daily wage increase of 80
cents. These increases represent a
middle ground between the original
recommendations of the board and
the demands of labor.
Railroad management already has
accepted the new compromise. the
board said. while the unions are ex-
pected to do likewise as soon as full
sanction of their officials can be
received.
In its letter to the President the
board did not estimate the additional
cost involved in their proposed in
creases. but it has been unofficially
computed at about 100000, 900
The original board recommendations
were estimated to add s270 900 900 to
annual operating costs.
Give-and- Take Policy.
1T should be said" the board
wrote. that neither side obtained all
that 1t wanted out Of the mediation
proceedings, but it was gratifying to
see that all of them recognized that
when they went into mediation it
was essential that they demonstrate
q willingness to compromise their
