Seeks Listing of Defense Programs; Deplores At
 tack on Feinmark

Two resolutions dealing with New Haven's daily newspapers and radio stations were unanimously adopted al the last meeting of the New Haver Central Labor Council.
 The following is one of these reso- 1utions. It was presented by Joseph T. Rourke, Secretary of the Council and business manager of Local B-o0 Electrical Workers, and was writer by Nathan Sherman, Editor of THI UNION TIMES, after consultation witt Rourke.
 PUBLISH PROGRAMS
 Resolved: That the New Haven Central Labor Council, in regular meeting assembled, hereby calls upon the daily newspapers in New Haven, the Register and Journal Courier, to publish the programs of broadcasts sponsored over Sta tions WICC and WELL by the New Haven and Connecticut Defense Councils, when so requested by these Councils. With the United States in the greatest emergency in its history, we believe that it is nec- essary for the press and radio to cooperate closely, in order that the public may be well informed.
 ''Be It Also Resolved: That cop- ies of this resolution be sent to the New Haven Register, the Journal Courier, Stations WICC and WELL, and to the press."
 AVOID PERSONALITIES
 The second resolution, which was also passed by unanimous vote, was presented by Sherman. The text fol- lows:
 ''Resolved:' That the New Haven Central Labor Council, in regular meeting assembled, hereby goes on record as deploring the derogatory statements concerning the Presi- dent of the New Haven Central La- bor Council, broadcast by Station WELL, in connection with the con- troversy between the New Haven Register and Station WELL. We be- ieve this station should obtain its information from direct sources before attacking the motives of any person.
 'sBe It Also Resolved: That copy of this resolution be sent to Station WELL, and to the press.''

 Union May Be .Resurrected
Goodrich and Committee Hold Conference With
 Firms Officials

The High Standard Manu- featuring Company of New Haven agreed this week in a conference with representa- tives of the International As. sOciatiOn of Machinists, the Connecticut Federation of La. Dor and the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council to consent to a National Labor Relations Board Election among its em. plOyes to be held whenever the LAM. sees fit to request the Board to order one. While Mondays conference proved cordial, reports have come in to Grand Lodge Representa- tive Clark Goodrich that Gen. eral Manager Custave Swebi- Jus is attempting to restore the COmpany's Mutual Aid Association to its former com. pany union status.
 CONFEREES
 John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer of the GEL, and Harold V. Fein. mark, president of the N. H. Coun- cil, accompanied Goodrich to the conference, while George R. Willis, president; Francis J. O'ReilIy, vice. president, and Swebilus spoke for the firm. The company had re- quested Henry J. Tierney, former president of the N. H. Central La. bor Council, at present labor rela- tiOns director for the Works Pro- gross Administration in Connecticut and member of Local B-9O, N. H. Electricians Union, to arrange the session.
 The NLRB ordered the Mutual Aid Association disbanded last fall and the company posted notices to that effect. Now, according to Goodrich, key men have reported that the sO-called fraternaI and ath. letic association will hold a meet ing to which all employees are in- vited to hear an address by Fred Herpich, assistant superintendent. Reports also indicate that certain workers have been approached by stOOges to agitate against the LAM, on company time with no loss of pay although they are engaged on piece work. Any attempt to shove company union into the picture. will bring charges on the part of the LAM. before the Labor Board. Goodrich declared.
 At the conference. Goodrich de. clared that the Union could increase efficiency 40 per cent and cut waste to minimum. President Willis voiced the opinion that cooperation with the Union might prove to the best interests of the firm.
 THE UNION PROTECTS
 But Swebilus," Goodrich pointed out, "seems to think he's tougher than Henry Ford. He told us that the Man. ufacturers' Association of New Haven County protested against the rates paid by High Standard. That proves that the High Standard employees, whose rates have been cut and re- timed again and again, have to buck the NAM. as we'll as the company. that they need to organize into a na- tlonal organization to protect and in- prove their conditions against the raids conducted on them by open-shon manufacturers and their organiza- tions."
