Bridgeport Ready To Help
N. Il. On Bond Campaign

Peter Bernard, president of the
Bridgeport Central Labor Union,
the guiding spirit behind the i'm
tensive drive to enroll every worker
in Bridgeport in the 10 per cent
payroll deduction War Savings
Bond plan, stated this week that
after the campaign committee sue
ceeds in its efforts i'm the Park City.
he is coming to New Haven to help
put over a similar drive.
Bernard said that practically every
shop in the Bridgeport area has sub
scribed 100 per cent to the 10 per
cent plan. Next, the committee is
going to concentrate on the building
trades, then on the banks and bust
ness houses and finally end up with
having women sell bonds and stamps
to their neighbors, and the children
Iii the schools.
After that l am going to New
Haven, personally, and help get that
town signed UP a 100 per cent he
declared.
George Waldo, editor of the
Bridgeport Post, is chairman of the
Bond drive committee, and Mayor
Jasper McLevy is honorary chair
man, said Bernard. ALL. members
of the committee include Bernard,
who originated the idea of an in
tensive community campaign; John J..
Allen, secretary treasurer of Local
443, Transfers; and Michael Mi
motif, business agent of Bricklayers
Local 2 and president of the Bridge
port Building Trades Council.
Minotti stated that a plan is
being worked out whereby con-
struction wOrkers-many of whom
are already heavy subscribers to
War BOnds-can enroll in the 10
per cent payroll deduction plan.
He said that many members of his
local have signed up and others
have signified their intention of so
doing.
Harold Barker, business agent of
Carpenters Local lis, said that the
carpenters are cooperating with
the War Bond drive.

Many Problems
Of great interest to the Joint Com

press for wages for persons taking
job training as we'll as for an ade-

The Committee plans to have
greater publicity given the present
facilities for child care, and to or

In this connection, it has been
brought to the attention of the
committee that the three W.P.A.

have been caring for some children
of working mothers, and were re-
ceiving demands for child care of
mothers who desire to go to work.

| Comments on This and That

by ROBERT B. BICKEI,

That section of the Legislative
program of the Conn. Federation
of Labor which deals with changes
in the Workmen's Compensation
Law is of the greatest importance
to all of us workers.. By all
means the privilege of Industrial
lists to take exception to the Work
mems Compensation Act should be
stricken from the law, as recon-
mended by the Federation. En-
ployers in the Danbury area have
abused this provision in the en-
ployment of men with ''suscepti-
bility to diseases" After the State
Federation succeeded in having the
Compensation Act amended SO as
to eliminate waivers for ''Occupa-
tional diseases or the susceptibility
thereof" certain employers got
around the law by demanding that
prospective employees take excep-
ton to the act and thereby waive all
rights to any benefits from the
law. This is an example of the in
justice that can be perpetrated
under this privilege.
X 4
So deplorable is this portion of
the act that it has been kept almost
secret by the hush-hush attitude of
government officials, insurance
companies, and well-meaning en-
pIoyers who fear that publicity
would advertise it to certain per-
sons who might take advantage of
it. In their silence, however, they
have done nothing to eliminate it.
X
John Egan has pointed out to
this writer how certain unconscion-
able employers have used this ''es-
cape clause for their selfish bene-
fit, by insisting that employees take
exception to the Workmen's Com
pensation Act, while they them
selves, claimed no exception. In
case of an injury or fatality of the
employe, collection of damages
through court cases are complicated
by the argument of the employer
who says: II participate in the
Workman's Compensation Act to

Londres, abril 11.-En Ell mes

garians are more desperate--they
fight back, but they break soon.
And they are always drunk. I had
submachine gun, which doesn't
have a bayonet, so I grabbed 1t by
the barrel and hit the Fascists on
the head with the butt
"'How many did you kil?'
""There was no time to count,
and you don't remember anything.
You just hit right and left, and hear
the helmets and skulls crack. It's
all blood, smoke and dust around
you. But the Germans rarely come
to close quarters. They hate the
marines. AS you know, we fight in
our black pea-jackets. AS soon as
our black ranks rise and we shout,
For Russia! Hurrah!" the Ger
mans run. They call us "the black
devils" And you really do become
a devil In the battle.
"'Our air force works splendidly,'
he continued. Our flyers are 10
times better than the Fascists. Ono
of them will accept battle with three
German planes and beat them. The
Fascists are best at bombing un-
protected villages. They are real
beasts! Recently they dropped
boxes on our front line positions.
We opened them, and found bodies
of our men chopped to pieces, with
note, Here's a trat for you"
How is the morale of the troops?'
Morale Is Unshakable.
Il can speak for the marines and
all those who fought at our side.
Their morale is unshakable. We
won't abandon Stalingrad-that Is
the word Of all those who are de-
Tending 1t. We all know what
Stalingrad means to us-and what
it means to the Germans
els the city pretty badly smashed
up?'
Its smashed to pieces. But
that's all right. Well build it again
"'How many days were you in
battle?'
"'My company fought for 10 days,
then it was sent to the rear for rest
"Did you have any rest in the
line?'
Every rarely. Sometimes you got
a chance to snatch something to eat
and few hours of sleep somewhere.
The nights are cold, too. I spent
one night in graveyard in tomb.
I must have looked pretty awful
when I came out in the morning,
because the sentry, seeing me
emerge, shouted, "the dead are aris-
ing!" I had a hard time quieting
him down
"A lot of our blood is being shed
at Stalingrad, but there are rivers
of German blood flowing
"'And the workers. asked. How
are they fighting?'
"'They are probably even more
daring than the marines he con-
ceded. They are defending a city
they built with their own hands and
they fight desperately
"'Where are you going when your
rest is up?'
"'Back to Stalingrad. They
wanted to send me to the western
front, but I said, "Stalingrad for
me-" If you start a job you must
see it through. Stopping the Ger
mans is only half the job. They
must be forced back. And even that
is only three-quarters Of the job.
We must break their backbone at
Stalingrad.'
"'And you think We'll do it?'
"'We'l do our best said Yurik-
| him"
