An unusual turnover among
new bus drivers i'm bridgeport
IS becoming a serious problem
that might not only affect en-
plOyes of the company. but the
riding public as we'll, Lester
Parfftt, president of Div. 459,
BUS Operators Union, AASER
and NICE, indicated. this week.
The need for bus drivers i'm

tense, owing to tire and gas
rationing and to the great
Growth of war work there, that
itSwas possible for the Con.
necticut Railway and Light
Company to secure six months
deferments of bus drivers
when they were called up by
their local draft boards, said
Parfitt.
OLD EMFLOIES S11NA
While veteran employees of the
company are sticking to their jobs
. and trying to abide faithfully with
their contract with the utility COM
pany, many of new men hired to
operate the buses only stay ON the
job q short time and then quit.
There are some signs of dissatis-
faction among some of the older men
over the fact that they are obliged
to carry on under a heavy burden of
overtime work, Par6tt said.
SIT is not fair either to the public
or to the operators that they should
be called upon to work beyond the
limit of their endurance" added Par
fit. 'If the company does not find
some effective remedy for this prob
lem, I am afraid that it is going to
find itself in some really hot water.
DOESN'T KNOW WHY
seI am at loss to understand why the
turnover of new employees exists, but
with the loss of FIVE to eight men a
week, it is working great hardship
on the men who remain on the job"
Parftt was of the opinion that a
wage increase for new men might do
much to overcome their unvoiced dis
abstraction although he said they
were making good wages. He felt,
however, that the company would not
offer to open the contract, which
doesn't expire until March 80, 1913,
in order to provide an added wage
inducement to the new men,
The situation seems bound to be-
come worse when the deferment runs
out on the drivers who have been
"earmarked" for induction Parhtt
said that a number of these defer
ments will run out in the near future

able time" said Mr. Bacon.
But owing to the lack of ruling
from General Hershey, we are con-
stantly losing vital workers because
local draft boards induct them.
Recently we lost carpenter who
was AZ years old and had two small
children. He was from Freeport, L.
l., and his local board drafted him.
This is an example of what we are
up against. A general ruling from
draft headquarters would at least pre-
pare the men and employers"
HARDSHIP FOR ALL
Not only does the lack of uni
form policy covering all draft
boards have demoraIizing effect
on war production through de-
prlving it of trained workers, said
MIR. Bacon, but it works an un.
necessary hardship on the workers
and has a tendency to misplace
skilled men within the armed
forces.
Trained mechanics are needed
by the armed forces, and if a skill

Grand Lodge Representative De-
Cantilion, who is doing organizational
work for the Machinists union in this
area, will be present at the meeting,
to greet members and to outline his
activities.
The referendum on the question
of two additional vice-presidents
has been made necessary by the
greatly increased membership in
machinists unions all over the
United States and Canada. Since
1910 membership has doubled,
making a total of 100000 today.
All members of the Local are urged

mittees by the locals to work in con-
junction with it.
The convention decided to take
road workers into membership, setting
up special classification for that pur-
pose to be known as the Roadworkers'
Division.
An immediate chief concern of the
convention, said DiLonardo, was the
preservation of the organization dur
ing the war period when construction
work is being halted, and members are
going into war jobs or into the armed
forces. It was estimated that there
are present 2,10O members of the
Union in the u. S. armed forces.
RELIEF RULES CHANGED
Another important item of the
convention was the changing of
the rules of relief for aged and
destitute union members. Under
the change the widow of recipient
will receive the same payments as
he, provided she is over IS years
and in need of support.
There are 1000 average mem
bers receiving relief payments.
Through the relief system which
went into effect a quarter of a
century before the institution of
Federal Social Security, a total of
ST., 100000 has been paid aged
members of the union.

ALWAYS SAVING!

How we are learning to make
something out of our discards! We
have found that kitchen waste fats
are valuable for ammunition manu-
facture, so We save fats. We col
lected rubber all around the house
and offices and barns, to supply this
vital necessity for our national de-
Tense. We gathered scrap metal for
the building of ships, tanks and air.
planes. Now women are turning
in WORKOUT silk or nylon hose to be
converted into powder bags. Scrap
silk is needed for the fleets guns
and since nylon and silk burn with
out leaving shreds or scraps after
charging, it leaves the guns clean.
So salvaged stockings is another
item to add to our list. The new
manufacture of hose is almost 80
percent rayon and 10 percent cotton,
so the discarded silk and nylon hose
will be that which is worn out to-
day or which have had their yester-
days and now repose in the family
rag-bag.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1942-12-17

Because the extent of our actual
participation in the war has been
sharply stepped up, the demand for
the needs of defense is going to re-
suit in a sharp curtailing of all
things available for civilian con-
sumption. There will be fewer things
to buy in all lines. There will be
plenty of some kinds of food but far
less variety. Many lines will disap-
pear from merchants shelves en-
tirely and many stores will be forced
to close during the next six months
because they will be unable to Sc
cure sufficient merchandise to re-
main in business. The first squeeze
will be noted shortly after the first
of the year. From then on it will
be a gradual tapering off for many.
This isn't a rosy picture it is true,
but it is a true picture as the ex-
perts see it. It might be the smart
thing to do to figure that it is a
true picture and to make plans ac-
cordingly. If these predictions do
not all come true well and good. IF
they do come true, we can be ready
for them.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

1t is indeed puzzling that the
Benton county public utility district
organized in 1884, should remain
virtually dormant for seven years
and then choose this uncertain wal
period to spring suddenly into a
costly and complicated court action
Is it safe to assume that a So
called mandate of the people &C.
corded by an extremely narrow
margin and by a relatively light
vote in 1884 can be taken as an
actual expression Of the people in
our county today?
just prior to the outbreak of the
war, Benton county PUD commits
sioners did not think so. They
voted two-to-one against condemna-
ton proceedings - -.
Indeed, it is entirely possible that
the people of Benton county would
reject a proposal to form a public
utility district if they had an op-
portunity to express themselves
again. But the PUD law makes
no provision for that.
OF this much, this newspaper is
sure: the paramount purpose IN
the minds of Benton county people
today is that of winning the war.
They ARE in no mood to approve
costly undertaking that does not
contribute to the war effort.
Starting unnecessary condemna-
ton proceedings at time like this
just doesn't make sense. Z

COFFEE TEARS

Tears in your coffee cup won't give
you any more than your allotted
share which means about one cup of
java person, each day. If you are
a two cupper at breakfast and
maybe used to cup at suppertime,
consider yourself caught short! Per-
f1aps you have persuaded someone
in the family who doesn't care much
for coffee to take tea instead. You
might institute a system of barter
with your friends by exchanging a
coupon for susgar for one of coffee
Arrange a meeting of the neighbor-
hood and list the names of those
who don't care much for butter but
who have to eat meat to enjoy a
meal. There is a fellow who wants
cream in his coffee and another who
doesn't take sugar. Fix them up.
The government isn't out anything
since you are only exchanging cou-
pom for coupon, maybe with wife and
mother, sister or brother. With this
system of trading you will gain
praise from Kennewick friends for
your thoughtfulness and you may
find coffee coupon for your efforts!
