Now is the time 10 check over all
Of the storable fruits and vegeta'
bles and see that each kind is prop
erly stored for winter There are
several different ways to store the
various kinds of fruits and yegeta-
bles and there are many opinions
about how to manage each kind of
storage. The essential conditions
are to have the temperature as
steady and cool as possible without
freezing, sufficient ventilation to
supply oxygen, and enough mois-
ture to prevent shriyeling but not
enough to encourage the growth Of
molds, rots, and diseases.
Squashes, pumpkins, sweet pota-
toes. and onions should be handled
carefully to avoid bruising and
should be stored in a dry place
such as the cool part Of furnace
room where the relative humidity Is
not more than 20 per cent and the
temperature stays beween 40 and
50 degrees il possible. The lower
temperature is best for onions.
When the air becomes moist, these
vegetables are rapidly attacked by
molds and various otheT organisms
causing decay.
Carrots, cabbage, beets, turnips
and rutabagas keep best when 1t is
cool and reasonably moist, and
where there is a sufficient supply
of oxygen. The relative humidity
should be around 80 or IS degrees
and the temperature should be as
near as possible to 80 degrees F.

not too warm for these vegetables,

WILLARD CRAY, of the New

ment Service, is accused by two
business agents of referring union
building tradesmen to non-union
job construction jobs. The agents
are Jim DiLonardO, of Bricklayers.

ers, No. 1876. Gray denies the
charge. lie he has done SO. his ac-
ton is violation of the U. S. EN-
plOyment Service rules, and Gray
ought to know better. The two
agents called on Gray, protested
his anti-union attitude, and had a
very unsatisfactory interview. Gray
told DiLonardi that his men ought
to 60 into war work. Unfortunately
for Gray, it SO happens that IS
per cent of the members of Di-
Lonardo's union are in war work.

this is a friendly warning.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The tre-
mendOus magnitude of the service
being rendered to the war effort by
the half-million members of the
international Brotherhood of Team
sters was disclosed in figures made
available by the Office of Defense
Transportation showing that truck
haulage has increased more than
1000 per cent over last year.
Everyone knows that the railroads
are carrying far greater loads since
the war began, but the role of truck
transportation in the war effort has
been obscured.
Yet the figures show that despite
gasoline rationing and the tire short
age which have cut down truck de-
liveries for civilian purposes to a wide
extent, truck transportation for war
purposes has grown by leaps and
bounds
The total truck haul in August,
September and October of last year
was 22,7OO loads, aggregating 165,-

Protection OF
Seniority Is
AskedByFDR
Would Preserve Rights Of
Workers Transferred To
War Industries

President Roosevelt this week
gave his full support to the stand
taken by organized labor that
seniority rights of workers who
transfer from civilian to war in
dustries should be preserved.
He took the unusual step of issu-
ing formal, written statement
calling upon employers who are not
engaged in essential Industries to
encourage their skilled workers to
transfer to war industries by as
surfing them they will be restored
to their jobs, with seniority I'M
impaired, after the war.
Such guarantee has been written
into law in the case of workers draft
ed for military service, and the same
protection, the President insisted,
should be accorded to workers who
go from peacetime TO war jobs. Many
employees, he explained, hesitate to
make the change for fear of losing
seniority they have built up.

prevent establishment of rent regis

the help which the labor movement

Both the school board and the post

Phony Cry Of
Longer Work
WeekExposed
Regional Director Of Wage
Hour Division Gives
Public True Facts

NEW YORK.-Use of the average
42-hour work week figure as a gauge
of labor's role IN war production was
branded as misleading by Regional
Director Arthur ]. White of the
Wage-Hour Division in radio ad-
dress here this week.
''The average of ~ hours for
all industries is nothing to become
alarmed about if we know how this
average is computed said White,
who pointed out that the short
work week is found mostly i'm nom
war industries.
Opposed to this let me cite a
few figures i'm war industries" he
said. ''In the month of September.
workers iii the scientific instrument
industry averaged 81 hours. In
firearms, 40 hours. In the machin-
cry tool industry, 81 hours..''
White explained that many indus
tries operate four 40-hour shifts. 1.-THE
plant therefore is actual working 100
hours per week. Maximum production
is being obtained. The method that
will produce the most steel is the
method we want"
White also refuted claims of ex-
orbitant overtime pay handouts. "The
overtime premium in manufacturing
industry has represented only about
$50 of the total payroll and only some
thing slightly over 20 of the total
consumer income" he said.

Members of the Hartford Locals,

the unionization of the E. M.

by the request from LOew to the

for a formation of a committee

the Pacific"
The men are John Balazs, his
brother Joseph, and Don Hayes. The

Hayes, the first member of the
local to enter the army, was indicted
early in 1941. Joseph Balazs enlisted
IN the navy in May, 1912, while John
joined the marine corps at about the
same time.
All three took part in the fighting
around Guadalcanal in the Solomon
Islands, though with separate units
and without knowing that the others
were also somewhere in that vicinity.
Then Joseph was wounded and sent
to a hospital on nearby island, where
John and Don were stationed.

On ThreeUCCase

Judge Patrick B. O'SuIIivan of
the State Superior Court has reco-
mended that the Connecticut I'm
employment Compensation Act be
amended so as not to work hard
ship on men who lose their jobs in
connection with being called up for
the draft.
Myron G. Borowski, a former
worker at the Colts Patent Firearms
Co., Hartford, failed of induction and
was declassihed to 1-B, and because
of the possibility of being recalled by
his Draft Board could not secure re-
employment. He applied for compen-
sation benefits, but was held to be I'M
entitled to such benefits without wait
disqualification period for volun-
tarily leaving his employment.
Man Disqualified
Judge OSullivan ruled that in &C
cordance with the section of the Act
covering separation of employment,
Borowski was disqualified for immedi-
ate compensation.
In handing down his decision,
the Judge stated: Through no
fault of his own, he had been
caught in the purview of the
statute which ought to be amended
to meet similar situations" (Labor
Department officials said i'm Hart
ford this week, that the more re-
cent policy of induction officials
