By II Duce

Peter Dino. a former waiter at
Hotel Carde, and member of the
Local 4O4, Hotel and Restaurant
Employees Union, has a personal
difference to settle with Mussolini,
if and when he catches mp with
him. When Dino enlisted in the
U. S. Army prior to our entrance
into the war, he was already vet
cram of war: MussOlini's Ethi-
Opian Campaign.
In spite of the fact that Dino was
born in New Haven, he was conscript-
ed into the Italian army when he was
eighteen. He was then living in Italy
with his parents.
THAT time, I didn't want to fight,
but now I go willingly and l hope to
even up things with II Duce," he is
quoted as telling David Strauss, as
sistant business agent of the Res
taurant Employees.

PLENTY OF WORK

John Bike, business agent of Local
70, said that two additional members
of the union reported they had been
laid off recently solely because there
were no materials available. This
brings the total number of union
plumbers out of work in Bridgeport
to seven. Although this number is
small in itself, it points to a possible
development of a serious situation.
There is more work than could be
handled by the present supply of
plumbers in the Bridgeport area, if
materials would be supplied for the
work on hand, explained the business
agent.
The recent State Convention of
Plumbers and Steamfitters held at
Norwich, to which Bike was a dele
gate from the Bridgeport local,
heard report that plumbers were
in demand throughout the state.
Bike said that there is work avail

REPRESENTATIVE of the State c. /. O.

II speak for the C. I. o. speak
for thousands of working men and
working women of Connecticut.
speak for men and women who are
devoted to the ideal of democracy.
ION their behalf, | say that labor
will play an all-important part in the
reelection of Governor Robert A.
Hurley. By SO doing, it will serve moi
only the best interests of organized
labor but the highest interests of this
state and nation.
I'VE are, in this hour consecrated
to the winning of a great war for
freedom, war for a free labor, for
the liberty of the plain people of the
earth. We have pledged our devotion
to Our Commander in Chief-Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, and we
believe it to be no less than our duty
to make certain that Our President is
supported throughout the land by men
who share his ideals and purposes.
Governor Hurley has proven to us,
and to the nation that he is such a
man.
Naturally, we would be less than
human, if we did not point out that
we have special stake in this cleo
ton. Nine-tenths of all of the rights
and benefits which have been achieved
by organized labor in modern times,
have come as a result of the policies
and leadership of the administration
of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"And the greatest progress that or
gained labor has ever enjoyed in
Connecticut has come to us through
the administration of Robert A. Hur-
ley. Governor Hurley came into office
with a background of understanding
of labor's problems and a record of
with labor, as private
and Public Works dminis-
traitor. He came into office with pro-
gressive program for labor and a pro-
found understanding of its needs.
Despite bitter partisan opposition
from Republican legislators who were
then-and still are-unable to rise
above their inherited prejudices, he
saw enacted into the law of this state
that have improved the liv-
ing standards and wel1-being of its
workers. There was, to mention but
single one, the amendment to the
Compensation Act which

John F. Cipriano was chairman of
the committee on price adjustment.
At the next meeting of the Fedora

be nominated.

INDEPENDENT is OUT
Janitors, matrons, maintenance
men and custodians have been mem
bers of an independent organization
known as the UNCONSTITUTIONAL en-
ployes of the Hartford Board of Edu-
cation. For over year this organf-
cation has been trying in vain to
secure an increase in salary for its
members in order to meet the rising
cost of living. Except for an increase
for the service of matrons, the board
of education has turned deaf ear
to the requests of the independent
union.
COMMITTEE MEETS
Five members of the group
headed by Peter ]. Zaccagnino, GUS
todian of the Henry Barnard Junior
High, met last week with Frank
Morris, secretary of the Hartford

The achievements made on behalf
of organized labor by the present adj
ministration of Governor Robert A.
Hurley, together with the continued
advances promised by the Democratic
platform on which he is standing for
reelection, convince us it is our duty
to re-elect him on November 3rd.
Any midstream change now would
be certain to nullify the program of
progressive Improvements under
which we have been moving forward
tor the past two years. The fight
must go on for other forward looking
measures. It must go on for the
measures that failed because of oppo-
sition in the General Assembly by a
majority bloc of Republicans who
were unable to rise above partisan

II am appearing on this broadcast
because | believe that the results Of
the elections to be held soon are close
ly related to our country's war pro-
gram. 1t is for this reason that or
gained labor, as never before, is
united, and is working together in
Connecticut to ensure the re-elec-
ton of Governor Hurley, Lieut.. Gov.
Odell Shepard, and our Demo-
cratic Congressman from Connecticut.
This is an unusual campaign. In
the ranks of labor, you will find Re
publicans, Democrats, and Socialists
solid1y united behind Governor Hur-
ley. l personally have been Republi-
can all my life, but this is one time
when I believe the party label is not
important, and it's the men who count.
This is not just one persons opinion.
Gov. Hurley stands out so strongly
in this campaign, that he has attracted
everyone, regardless of their political
afiliation.
A REAL CONNECTION
"Some people don't see the connec-
ton between the war and the cleo
tons. To them, the war is fighting
Hitler and the Nazis, and wiping
them off the face of the earth. The
war is that, of course, organized
labor realizes that victory by the
Nazis would mean slave labor for all
of us; that victory will mean a new
freedom for all of us. Labor is max
ing its mighty contribution to the war
