Winnick Not
To Run Again.
As President
Head Of Musicians, No. 234,
Declines To Run For
Fifth Term

Attorney Alexander Winnick,
president of Local 234, New Ha-
ven Federation of Musicians, has
declined to be a candidate for the
Office he held during the last four
years, he announced this week.
Owing to the pressure of legal
business, Winnick said, it was i'm
perative that he refuse to accede
to the desire of the organization
TO stand for fifth term.
SORRY TO LOSE HIM
President Winnick stated his posi-
ton at the September meeting of the
Musicians, but members of the or
ganization tried to persuade him to
reconsider the matter, said Harry
Benson, Secretary.
1--WE regret very much to lose him
as president" said Benson. "He has
been very aggressive and efficient in
his work. He has done lot for music
and musicians in this community. But
we do know that his law practice has
been increasing"
Winnick said: II enjoyed holding
the Office. It was hard decision for
me to make, but l think that it would
have been unfair for me to continue"
ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER
Officers of the New Haven Local
will be nominated at a meeting on

Attorney Winnick has been mem
Der of the New Haven Local since
1919. His ability with the violin
helped him earn his way through Yale
where he took his degree in Law in
1927. He played years ago in the New
Haven Symphony Orchestra. He has
always been interested in the labor
movement. Last year he argued the
N. H. Central Labor Councils case
for equitable water rates before the

very fine and well-informed body. To
that group can be attributed many of
the progressive laws that Colorado
enacted.
RECALL JUDGES RULINGS
Few states, / believe, have such
laws as the Recall of Judicial De-
cisiOns. This may be invoked when
the Supreme Court declares any
law unconstitutional after its enact
ment. A sufficient number of
signatures presented to the secre-
tary of state requires this law to
be placed ON the ballot at the next
state election for the approval or
disapprOval of the voters. If the
decision of the court is nulIified
the measure becomes the law of
the state. This was much desired in
those days as the Supreme Court
had formed a habit of declaring
most of the labor laws enacted, un-
constitutional.
The Child Labor Law, Woman's
Pension Act, and other laws were the
children of this league of voters.

[ Remember
By
Richard E. CrOskev
L0eal 4O4
Cooks 4 Walters Union

The 57th Annual Convention of
the Connecticut Federation of
Labor was success from all angles.
Legislation was, as it should be,
the main business to come before
the meeting. State declarations
were created as ''LabOr's Political
Arms" Their duty, therefore, is to
initiate and work for laws bene-
fetal to the workers, their pro-
lection and equalization before the
law. However, the old days when
strikers were enjoined by the courts
or beaten up by the police if caught
on the picket line are happily pass
ed in most of our states. In my
opinion, the union people of this
state can well be satisfied with the
type of men and women they sent
to the convention to represent
them.
Having been delegate to numer-
Gus state conventions and having at
tended many others as an organizer,
| was keenly interested in all that
took place in this meeting. 1t was
well conducted and very we'll at
tended; there were few absentees at
any of the sessions. The banquet and
dance were good and the speeches of
our Mayor, Lieutenant Governor and
Governor were short and eloquent.
Well done, Connecticut
LEGISLATION LEAGUES
Some states have legislative
leagues. AS a whole, the leagues
are composed of progressive peo-
pie who, naturally, favor labor
legislation. The leagues are very
helpful and greatly assist the labor
lobbies.
Colorado had a legislative league.
The brilliant writer, George Creel,
who at that time was editor of the
leading newspaper of the state, was
a member. Creel was very earnest
and sincere. He is one of those men
that do not like opposition. When
opposition developed on any of the
measures he favored he would walk
the floor and, coming over to the group
of labor people among whom I was
considered a leader, he would ex-
claim, What are you fellows going
to do on this, Croskey?" Sitting there
calmly smoking 1 would usually say,
Don't get excited, Mr.. Cree1. Our
gang will be there on the right side
when the vote is taken"
Judge Ben Lindsey-"the kids
judge'-and many others, lawyers
and society ladies from the Woman's
Federation, were members. 1t was
