ISSUE STATEMENT

On the eve of the meeting the fol-
lowing statement was issued by the
United Labor Rally Committee:
''FelIOw Americans:
Con Nov. 3 you elect governor
and six congressman. These Off
Gals will represent you i'm Wash
ingtonc and in Hartford at this
critical time.
''Certain candidates are spend
ing most of their time criticizing

of putting their shoulders to the
wheel and supporting him. These
candidates who constantly repeat
their criticisms of President ROose-
welt cannot have the support of
Labor and the people in this cleo

The first group of nom
Rnstructional school workers
IN the state of Connecticut
moved to join an ALL. union,
Friday, when Hartford school
employees meeting in the
Henry Barnard Junior High
School voted overwhelmingly
10 join the American Fedora
|tiOn of State, County, and
Municipal Employees. Two
hundred workers are eligible
10 join this local.
APPLY FOR CHARTER
Frank Morris, secretary of the
Hartford Central Labor Union, on
invitation of the group of janitors,
matrons, maintenance and GUS
Ftodians, addressed the meeting,
explaining to the employees the
benefit of affiliating with the AL.
Following a question period, the
members voted to join the A. F. of
IS. C.. and Nj. E., and to apply for
Ia charter.
NEED HIGHER WAGE
The unaffiliated school workers
organization had tried i'm vain to
secure salary raises for its MEM
bers to meet the rising cost of liv-
ling. After a year of futile attempt
lin this direction, the workers were
convinced. that they were getting
nothing but the run-around. Out
of this predicament grew demand
for the utilization with the ALL.
ITO this end a preliminary meeting
was held at the Barnard School
under the direction of Peter j.
sZaccagnino. and arrangement
made for the Friday night meeting.
School workers who took part
in the meeting are this week con-
tacting other UNCONSTITUTIONAL en-
pIoyes of the Hartford Board of
Education seeking their signatures
on membership cards preparatory
to meeting Friday, Oct. 80. at the
Barnard School when officers will
be elected and formal application
for a charter in the ALL. union
will be made.

Employers Who Fired
Workers Get $500 Fine

NASHVILLE.-For firing work
ers who made complaints under the
Wage Hour law, J. R. Meek and
George Winter, operators of Midway
Farms Packing Co., were each fined
$500 in u. S. District Court.
In 1911 the employees brought suit
in which they collected both unpaid
minimums and overtime under the
law. In retaliation the company fired
some of the workers and performed
acts of discrimination against others.

RICHMOND, Aug. 15.-Plans to
gear studies IN Virginia public
schools to the war effort will come
up for discussion at series of
district meetings OF school officials
during September, George J. Oliver,
director of instruction, said today
An initial move to readjust courses
was taken at a district meeting
yesterday in Front Royal, but it Is
planned to hold the other 10 district
meetings after a national confer
ence in Washington later this
month. At the Washington confer
ence, education onlcials will meet
with representatives Of the Army,
Navy and war industry.
The program recommended by
officials at the district meeting at
Front Royal, which is expected to
be adopted generally by other dis
tricts, called for greater emphasis
on physical and health courses,
for adapting present mathematics
courses to pre-military training
needs: the offering Of study in aero
nautical science, and citizenship
studies designed to give students a
sense Of greater participation in the
war effort.
Mr.. Oliver expressed the hope
that the coYses in physical and
health education would become q
regular feature in public schools
study. Under the plan recon-
mended at yesterdays district meet
ing, at least one class period would
be devoted to the physical well-being
of the students, while selected
groups would get more intensive
training IN longer periods.

Alexandra SURVEYS
Need Of Center
For Children
Working Mothers Queried
On Whether Family
Desires Day Care
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DISPATCH 10 Inc star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 15.-
Seeking to determine whether there
is a need in Alexandria for a day
care center for children Of defense
workers, 1000 questionnaires have
been sent out by q committee spon-
sored by the Once of Civilian De-
tense.
Miss Barbara Watkins, superin-
tendent of the welfare department,
is supervising the investigation and
a volunteer committee is headed by
Mrs. Robert Lyle, assisted by Mrs.
r. P. Davidson.
The QUESTIONABLE asks If and
where the mother is employed, the
number and ages OF children in the
family. how the children are cared
for now and if the family desires
day care for them.
Miss Watkins said there have
been many requests for placing
children in foster homes by the well
fare department, but experience has
shown this arrangement usually is
not the best one for children.
The Welfare Department indi-
Gated that in many cases mothers
have taken jobs without making any
provision for their children in their
absence.
One case of a boy who, In his un-
supervised time started fires, has
been brought to the Juvenile Court,
and Miss Watkins cited an instance
of a 9-year-old girl who cares for
her three younger sisters, and OF
one family where an 11-year-old girl
did all the housework, including the
washing and ironing.
Families where mothers are en-
ployed during the day are not the
only ones who would benefit by a
day-care center. In many cases
the father or mother is employed
on a night shift and must be able
to sleep during the day.
Summer Fairgrounds have been
of some help in solving the prob
lem of day care. but more super
vised program and one that includes
serving OF meals and physical care
for small children is needed.
