osng OF W PA. Seriously Affects Many Connecticut Cite

Many services, which are of grea.
benefit to the people of New Haven
as well as to the war program will
be affected by the closing of service
projects of the W.P.A. when the
Federal work relief program goes
out of existence i'm New Haven ON
or before Feb. L. This was learned
by The Union Times this week in
a talk with Miss Mary Hughhart
of the Service department of New
Haven Office of W.P.A.
Such cities as Hartford, Bridge
port, Waterbury and New London
will suffer similar losses, it was
learned.
Approximately 100 white collar
workers." most of whom are women
and all of whom are registered at the
U. S. Employment Service for jobs
in private industry, are now employed
in the Service department of the
W.P.A. program in New Haven.
Distribution of Costs
The salaries of these workers are
paid by the federal government, but
other costs of the project they man
are borne by the sponsoring agencies
such as the Board of Education or the
city.
Twenty-eight workers are employ
ed at the W.P.A. Sewing Factory,
which formerly turned out hundreds
of pieces of clothing and white
goods" for families of unemployed,
but lately has been busy repairing and
renovating uniforms and other arti-
cles for the U. S. Army. Only re-
Gently the factory had to turn down
the request of the Army on a truck
load of goods" from a training camp,
because it has hardly time to finish
such work for the Army it now has on
hand.
There are twelve teachers and
cooks employed by the W.P.A. on
three nursery school projects in
the New Haven area. These schools
provide care and pre-school train
ing for IS children of underprivi-
legged families-and there is a de-
mand on them for care of children
of women seeking jobs i'm war
plants, said Miss Hughhart.
She said that the Strong School
Nursery project five women are
prevented from taking jobs because
they do not have a convenient center
to care for their pre-school children.
These mothers have sought to have
those children entered in the nursery.
Other women have not sought jobs
because they have no place to put
their children while they work.
Board Should Act
The Board of Education spon-
sors the W.P.A. Nursery project.
An effort is being made to have
the Board of Education arrange for
the continuation of the project.
The Union Times asked Superin-
tendent of Schools Joseph A. Fitz-
gerald if the Board planned to con-
tinue the nurseries! He said that

Frank O'Neil, of Hartford, general
agent of the Union Labor Life In
surance Co.; Judge Thomas ].
MOIloy, of the Court of Common
Pleas, and Thomas J. Shea, assis-
tant secretary of the State Fedora
lion.
Mr.. Vol traced the history of
the Union Labor Life Insurance
Co., which was established largely
through his own initiative to the
point today where it is rated among
the sOundest and safest financial
institution in the country, with
100000 worth of insurance i'm
force.
Mr.. VOL strongly advocated insur-
ance protection for members of labor
unions, particularly through policies in
their own company, and called par
ticular attention to the creation in
Hartford of a new agency for the
accommodation of local unions.
In addition to Mr.. Wolf, brief re-
marks were made by Mr.. Tobin, Sena-

Pepper-Tolan
Bill

ALBANY, N. Y-Central war
planning as laid down in the pending
Pepper Kilgore-Tolan bills received
the Endorsement of the New York
State Federation of Labor at its an
nual legislative conference here. The
delegates representing 100000 union
lists were unanimous on the measure.
The conference is drafting a
legislative program for the COM
ing session of the legislature. S.F.L.
Pres. Thomas Lyons sounded this
keynote i'm opening the meeting:
.'There is much to be done. The
painter and bricklayer of today may
be turning out plane or a gun
tomorrow. The idea is production
and more production. The quicker
we get production of war materials,
the quicker will victory come to
America"
He asked an accelerated response
to the government request for names
of labor officials fitted to take on
important jobs in war administrative
agencies.
Regional Director Anna NJ. Rosen-
berg of the War Manpower Com
mission acknowledged unemployment,
due to war conditions, in New York
and labor shortage in Buffalo. Prog
ress toward better distribution of
war contracts has been made, how
ever, and complete solution will be
effected "in a democratic American
way with the voluntary cooperation
of labor" she declared.
The union times. (New Haven, Conn.) 1941-1948, 1942-12-19

the matter of their continuance had
not been brought before the Board,
but the Board would not be able
to bear the expense of the salaries
of the teachers and cooks, unless
the city would allocate funds for
that purpose.
Other Service Projects of W.P.A.
threatened with extinction when the
federal government withdraws its
support are: The Craft Project with
10 workers making toys for the City
Recreation and Child Care Centers;
the Recreation Program with num-
Der of workers scattered throughout
the city in work of organized play;
the Swing Band, comprised of nine
musicians who play for soldiers and
Recreation programs; the Historical
Society Survey with five workers !;
and the City Health project with
three girls assisting the City Health
Officer.
