fore the Senate; called upon Pres
ident Roosevelt to prosecute all

Real Shortage OF
Building Laborers

With over half of New Haven's
organized building laborers in war
plants, there exists a serious short
age of laborers, and the situation is
affecting the employment opportuni-
ties of building tradesmen, Armand
Ambrosini, business agent of Build
ing Laborers Local ass, New Haven,
told THE UNION TIMES today.
Bricklayers and plasterers have
been unable to go to work on some
jobs because of the fact that build
ing laborers are not available, said
Ambrosini. Although the wage scale
for building laborers is 95 cents an
hour, employers have offered as high
as $1.1O an hour in some cases to
get them, without any luck. There
are approximately $50 members in
Local ASS, Ambrosini said.

THE LAST TWO WEEKS

for President Roosevelt. Wen

Three representatives of Local 70,
New Haven Carpenters, were elected
to the Board of Directors of the
Labor Rally Corporation, the hold
ing company of the New Haven
Labor Temple at the annual meet
ing of the Corporation held in the
Temple. In addition to electing a full
directorate, the Corporation voted to
make a drive to sell more stock to
the unions affiliated with the New
Haven Central Labor Council and to
increase the rental price for Offices.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The members of the board are
as follows: Harold v. Feinmark,
president of the Council; Joseph
T. Rourke, Local BOO, Electri-
clans; Everett L. Prindle, Local 70,
Carpenters; William A. Fucker

Postal Clerks
Had Increase
Local 237 Urges Flat Raise
Of 1870 To Meet
Living Costs

New Haven post office workers
who are members of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks,
Local No. 237, sent communications
this week to United States Senators
James M. Mead, sponsor of the bill
to increase salaries of civil service
workers, and William ]. Bulow,
chairman of the Senate Civil Service
Committee, urging legislation to grant
post office workers flat increase
of 1870 on the hourly rate, according
to Nathan Feldman financial secre-
tary of the New Haven local.
Members of the local feel that
Senate Bill 2666, which calls for
overtime payment for civil service
workers has several loopholes, said
FeIdman, that make 1t possible to
require post office workers to work
in excess of a predetermined over
time limit without compensation
for that work.
AT present, postal employees are
paid for every hour they work, but
we feel that we should have an in
crease of 1870 to care for increase
in the cost of living" said Feldman,
who pointed out that last time the
postal employees received raise was
in 1925.

NO SUBSTITUTE

NO SUBSTITUTE
ssThe conversion program in no
way substitutes for the new con-
struction program under way"
warns 1.-THE Carpenter" ''But all
the new housing that can be built
by June 1943, through either pub
lie or private resources, cannot
possibly care for the 100000 new
workers expected TO be drawn to
war production centers i'm that
period. At least 100000 workers
must be cared for through exist
ing housing and experience has
proved that only a conversion pro-
gram can supply enough family
accommodations"
CARE OF CHILDREN
In its chief editorial, "The Car
penter," calls for union assistance in
setting up in each community a Com
mittee for the Care of Children in
Wartime" as a means of seeing to
it that children of mothers working
in war plants are properly looked
after while their mothers are at work.
The Journal reports that there will
be an unprecedented need for build
ing after the war with great demand
for building workers of all kinds. The
magazine quotes at length report
by DR.. Leopold Arnaud, dean of the
School of Architecture of Columbia
University.
Methods and materials developed
during wartime will have a profound
influence upon the physical aspect of
the postwar world" DR.. Arnaud
predicts.
"It is conceded that building activi-
ties in the near future will be ire
mendous in scope. New methods, new
material, new problems, new social
and economic requirements will pro-
duce not only new era but also a
new physical world"

BARRIERS OK.
On Pay Hike
Birthriight
Exempt Because Most OF
Conn. Shops Employ
Eight Or Less

William C.. Birthright, general
nresident of the International Bar
bers Union, i'm a recent letter
notified Hartford Journeyman Bar
hers No. 70 that employers of eight
ar less workers do not have to
have the approval of the W. L. b.
to grant wage increases to their
employees, according to Leonard
Parracino, secretary-treasurer OF
the Hartford local.
LEGALITY QUESTIONED
This was Birthright's second reply
to a telegram sent him by Parraclno
to the effect that the Master BARRIERS
who had signed contract for wage
increases with the journeymen had
raised the question of the legality of
that contract in face of the Economic
Sterilization Order of President
Roosevelt.
The contract which has been in
effect since Oct. S, calls for $28
weekly wage plus 500 of receipts
in excess of $37, was signed in
September, but went into effect
Oct. S.
In the initial reply to Parracino's
telegram Birthright gave the opinion
that the contract was legal and bind
ing. In his latest letter he promised to
look further into the matter.

didates VIII Keep Their
Word To Labor

John ]. Egan, secretary-treasurer
of the Connecticut Federation of
Labor, sees no reason for pessi-
mistic views ON the part of labor
or the people i'm general over the
outcome of the general elections in
Connecticut, he told THE UNION
TIMES, this week.
SUPPORT PLEDGED
"A great many of the candidates
elected have pledged their support to
the cause of labor; they have given
their solemn word to support the
labor gains made during the last few
years." declared Egan. "And I see
no reason for them not keeping their
work.
Egan said that Governor elect
Baldwin's "heart is in the right place.
He doesn't know much about labor,
but I think we should not stay away
from him on that account. He was
of the opinion that labor must be
active in keeping its case and cause
before the Governor, and not permit
other elements to have his ear
exclusively.
''NOT ANTI-LABOR"
II don't think the new Congress
is going to be anti-labor in any
sense of the word," declared Egan.

Labor Dept.
Gets $65,696
Ia Establishments In State
Violating Provisions Of
Minimum Wage

A total of sos. 900 was collected
in October by the Wage-Hour Divi-
sion of the State Labor Depart
ment, i'm back wages due Connect
lieut. workers for overtime work, it
was announced this week. This was
the largest amount collected for
any month since the State Labor
Department took over the collection
of back pay under the Federal Fair
Labor Practice Act two years ago.
Not only is this the largest amount
collected from employers in one
month, but it brings the total amount
of back wage payments to $364,891,
distributed to 9,153 employees during
the period of which the federal law
has been enforced by State employees.
The report points out that, in spite
of the high pay in war industries, the
inspection staff found II establish
ments violating the minimum wage
provisions of the act. This minimum
wage ranges from $12 to $40 per
week.
NEW DIVISION

CLOSED SHOP CONTRACT
In his findings, the Commits
siOner pointed out that the en-
plOyer in question held a closed
shop contract with the union, and
that the contract called for hiring
union drivers through the union,
but in event that the local could
not furnish a needed driver, the
employer could if able to do SO,
emplOye a driver with the under
standing that if that driver, after
a trial period, proved satisfactory
to the company, should become a
union member.
''Early in July this year, the
employer was in need of drivers
and the union was unable to
furnish them. At this time he hired
three drivers himself including the
claimant. At the time of their en-
plOyment il was explained TO them
by the employer and the union
shop steward, that they must be-
come members of the union paying
the required initiation fee and dues
if, after trial period, they proved
satisfactory TO the employer" ae-
cOrding to report of Commissioner
Thompson.
WORK SATISFACTORY
The claimant started to work July
9, and continued until July 81. After
the three new drivers had been at
work for two weeks the shop steward
inquired of the employer if they were
satisfactory. The employer replied
that they were. Thereupon the steward
asked the drivers to join the union
in accordance with the condition under
which they were hired. The claimant
did not fill these obligations and was
asked to quit working because of his
failure to join the union, to pay the
required initiation fee and dues, or
to make arrangements for their pay
ments which the shop steward con-
sidered suitable.
CLAIMANT DODCES
On two or three occasions during
his employment the claimant offered
to pay the shop steward SIS on account
of his obligation to the union. The
steward refused to accept the money,
directing the claimant to the union
office to make the payment. The
claimant did not do this.
On Aug. 3 the steward refused to
allow the claimant to continue work
unless he paid the initiation fee at
once. The claimant said he was unable
to do so and didn't go to work that
day.
EXAMINER REVERSED
He fled a claim for unempIOy.
ment benefits as of Aug. 2, 1912,
and further claims as of Aug. 9,
10, % and 80. The state unem-
plOyment examiner who reviewed
the claimants case ruled that the
claimant did not leave the employ
ment voluntarily, and that the re-
lease was not caused by wilful mis-
conduct, and therefore was eligible
for compensation without having to
wait out an extended Stpenalty''
period for leaving work under the
above conditions. The employer
appealed the ruling.
"In my Judgement" ruled Com
Thompson" the claim
ant here should be regarded as
