The patience of the prOduc. ton and maintenance workers of the Rockbestos Products Corporation in New Haven was rewarded this week with an N.L.R.B. order for an election within 30 days, issued by the Labor Board in Washington. So confident of victory for Local B-9O. New Haven Flee. tricians, were the union men in the plant, that discussion centered on increased rates rather than on the results of the forthcoming election. The actual date of the election will be announced very soon.
 The employees at Rockbestos were guaranteed substantial in- creases by Joseph T. Rourke, busi- ness agent of Local B-9O. The men had eagerly awaited the election order from the Washington office of the National Labor Relations Board. Edward J.. Brown, interna- tional president, exerted the full pressure of his office and organiza- tion to speed the election date.

Board Directors
 Ask MT. Erskine
 For Explanation
Cheshire Reformatory Superintendent Asked Many Questions By Directors Governor
 Represented By John F. Robinson

George C. Erskine, $8,OOO year superintendent of the Cheshire Re. formatOry. who believes ''unions and the Merit System are the worst thing that ever happened to Con. necticut, ''found himself in more hot water this week. Erskine, a vet eran member of the Governors Foot Guard, was called upon to an. swer many questions from the mem bers of the Board of Directors of the Reformatory, questions design ed to throw light on his refusal to recognize Local 387, Conn. State Reformatory Guards, which is affili- ated with the New Haven Central Labor Council and the Conn. Fed eration of Labor.
 HURLEY INTERVIEWS
 The meeting was held Tuesday in response to an appeal to Gov. Robert A. Hurley by the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council. Because he was forced to be in Washington, Gov. Hurley was unable to attend and sent his executive secretary, John F. Rob inson, to represent him.
 Although no report of the meeting was made public, it was learned that Erskine's anti-labor stand was dis cussed at great length by the Board, and that it will be further discussed at future meeting. In any event, MT. Erskine, whose attitude toward or ganized labor is extremely reactionary, was not able to convince the Directors that his Dark Ages" policies are OK.
 Also this week, the Conn. Coun- cil of the Am. Fed. of State, Coun- ty, and Municipal employees charged that Erskine has deliberately ar- ranged a Merit System exam for the job of Asst. Deputy Superin- tendent of the Reformatory SO that only one man, favorite of his, will be eligible to comply with the re- qairements. Full details will be giv- en in The Union Times next week.
