With kind OF steady hum,
And the sun sets farther northward--

Clio TO ATTEND

State President MaIIoy
Urges All Local Units
to Participate

Thomas r. Molloy. president OF
the Connecticut CLIO Council, in a
letter today to all CLIO local unions
In the state, called for full particle
patton Of manufacturers in the De-
tense Clinic TO be held In New Ha-
ven January 20 and 80 under the
sponsorship OF the Once Of Pro-
duction Management.
Stating that there are companies
In this state who have hesitated to
convert their factories to defense
production in spite Of their patriotic
duty to do SO; In spite Of the re-
sulting hardships to the employees;
and In spite of the fact that In
many cases funds from the U. s.
Government are available to manu-
facturers for making their machin-
cry suitable for producing defense
materials" Mr.. Molloy urged that
local CIO organizations whose en-
ployers are not fully engaged on de-
Tense work hold immediate confer
ences with arrangements to urge
them to participate In the Defense
Clinic and take advantage Of all
opportunities presented at this De-
Tense Clinic for obtaining contracts
and for converting their machinery
to defense production"
Our CLIO membership Is interest,"
ed having the large defense con-
tracts spread out among the manu-
facturers In our state for two rea-
sons, stated Mr.. Molloy, Il. Spread
ing out the work among more shops
will help speed production and help
avoid the production bottlenecks re-
sulting from some companies hav-
ing huge backlogs Of orders, and
others having little Or none at all;
and 2, Spreading out the work will
mean that fewer Connecticut work.
ers will be laid off because their
companies are not producing for de-
tense and the war"
Mr.. Molloy was recently appoint
I'd by Governor Robert A. Hurley as
a member of the State Defense
Council; and he is, together with
James Clerkin, state AFL president,
a member of the labor advisory
committee for the Defense Clinic.
