Department officers were carried to
the Superior Court.
In one of the other two cases, Judge
O'Sullivan approved a Commissioner S
decision imposing a disqualification
period for willful misconduct. The
claimant was discharged for leaving
his machine as the Cushman Chuck
Co., Hartford, in violation of the re-
peated warning of his superior at the
plant.
Verdon Reversed
Judge Edward J. Daily, sitting at
Waterbury, reversed the decision of
Unemployment Compensation Com
missioner Margaret Verdon who had
granted compensation to Mary A.
Condor, a former seamstress at a
Worth Inc, store.
The claimant left her work
rather than join a union which
organized closed shop. She quit
a month before the deadline set for
Joining the organization, giving as
her reason that she did not wish to
become a union member.
She was denied the right to draw
compensation by the Unemployment
Division. Commissioner Verdon over
ruled the examiner, saying she had a
right to draw compensation on the
grounds that a change of working
conditions existed, and, therefore, she
had left with sufficient cause" Then
administrator appealed to the court.
Judge Daley, ruled that since she
had voluntarily left her job a month
in advance of the time for joining
the union, she was neither entitled to
claim she had left with sufficient cause
nor to compensation benefits for un-
employment.

extYearWill
Drop By 1870
Volume This Year Has
Reached An ALL Time
Record High

NEW YORK.-COnstruction work
in the u. S. next year will be 1890
below that of 1912, Dodge Sta
tistical Research Service, an en-
plOyer organization, declared in its
annual forecast this week.
Unless steps are taken to shift
Them into other essential war Jobs,
this will mean unemployment for
the bulk of the members of the
ALL. building trades unions.
The total building and engineering
contract volume for the 81 states east
of the Rocky Mountains will be $4,-
O35,00O as compared to $7,915,000 in
1912, the service predicted.
In general" the service said, "the
number of very large projects (run-
ming into tens of millions of dollars)
is apt to be small in 1913, as com
pared with the numerous huge prof.
ects of 1941 and 1912. The bulk of the
years program will consist of mod
crate sized projects, a relatively few
large industrial plants, environments,
bases and supply depots; many new
units added to existing large projects"
1912 Sets Record
Construction volume in 1912 has
reached an all-time high record,
the service pointed out; the years
total will be from 800 to $3.50
greater than l94l, and approx
mately 2Oao greater than that of
the previous high record year 1923.
The largest decreases next year
are expected in public buildings,
1910; manufacturing, 500; reli-
giOus, 500; social and recreation,
419o; one and two family homes,
500; public works, 1870; utilities,
1870.

Relations Board for the admins
iering of a workers bill of rights

A flat minimum wage of 40 cents
an hour for all workers in Connecticut
is sought in place of the present sys-
tenn OF having on official of the Labor
department set up minimums after

WOrkmen's Compensation
The Federation's Executive Board
decided to ask the State to enact a
state fund insurance bill, under which

Insurance in all industries not having
their own insurance fund.

act, the Insurance Commissioner
shall set up the fund and establish

(c) Thumb, 60 weeks to IS
weeks.
CD First finger, 38 weeks to

Unemployment Compensation Act: In
crease maximum payments from $40
to $22 a week; reduce the waiting
periods from three weeks to one week;
include all employers in the act. not
restricting it to those who employ four
or more as at present; set up a re-
c1procal agreement system whereby
credit for work done in one state
would be carried along with workers
when they move to another in regard
to unemployment compensation.

Almost 700 violation of the
Connecticut Child Labor Laws
have been revealed by an in
vestigatiOn conducted by the
State Labor Department into
the child labor situation in
this state.
Children from II to 10 are
employed illegally in indus
trial, mercantile or service
establishments. Many fire.
quently work until midnight,
and later, every night. Princi-
pals in Bridgeport, Hartford,
New Britain and New Haven
Junior and senior high
schools, where the records of
1890 students we're exam
ined, told Labor Department
investigators that working stu
dents were falling asleep i'm
their classes and and failing in
their studies.
A total of 1923 of the 49,
329 students covered i'm the
survey were employed after
school hours, and of these,
667 were under 10 years.
''The worst offenders are bowl
! ing alleys, restaurants and thea
tres,'' a spokesman for the Labor
Department declared. ''We have
records of boys under 10 working
I until midnight and later, seven
nights week, and trying to do their
studies at the same time. For ex-
ample, two l4-year-old boys are
working as cOuntermen i'm a quick
lunch room until IL o'clock every
highland another boy is en-
/, ployed on an IL PM. to z Am.
shift, going directly to high school
where he passes the day in sleepy
silence"
Specific instances have been called
to the attention of the Labor Depart
ment where employment of boys as
eyoung as II in bowling alleys until
midnight had been direct cause of
their delinquency. Two, New Haven
boys who recently ran away from
home, were found by Stratford police
working in a bowling alley. Adjoin-
ing the alley was a small room, with
10 cots, where the boys were sleeping.
In bowling alley in Bristol,
where L. and l3-year-old boys
were regularly employed, several
large crap games were in progress
when the Labor Department in
spector visited the place.
The Department of Labor has
caused the arrests and trials of SO
bowling operators for violating the
:. Child Labor Law. In all arrests ex-
cept those made in Hartford fines
/ from SIS to SIS on each count have
been imposed on vio1ators. In Hart
ford as reported in The Union Times
last week, three defendants got no
more than a Judgment suspended
reprimand, with Acting Judge Cor
I nelius Moylan, an Unemployment
Compensation Commissioner, saying
that he thought bringing of the bowl
ing alley operators into police court
chad taught them a lesson"
Labor Department officials ex-
pressed doubt that the small fines
imposed upon the bowl operators
would break up the practice of hir-
. ing minors.
'They pay their fines and go
right on hiring boys under six
teen,'' they said.

Another Letter
From, Recipient
Of SWeafer

Another of the many letters re-
ceived by local women from soldiers
and sailors who have received sweat
ers sent from this chapter Of the
Red Cross follows:
San Francisco, California
Dear Miss Wood:
II have just distributed the sweat
ers, which you and other women Of
Nogales knit, to eight of our crew
who stand watches On an exposed
station. I am writing you because
your name appears on three of the
sweaters, but want you to pass on
to Mrs Shane, Mrs. Mcfarland and
the others our very deep gratitude.
The clothing was badly needed and
will be wholeheartedly appreciated
on these and different cold occa-
sions.
Before joined the Navy I used
to watch my mother and sister do
that sort OF thing hours on end ana
I know the work that is required.
Not only do the sweaters give COM
fort but they very measurably in
crease the fighting efficiency of the
men who have them on. Since no
one can function at his best in a
semi-frozen condition, the sweaters
are therefore real blow for liberty.
please accept the sincere thanks
of our. crew for these gifts made
possible through the medium of the
Red Cross.
Sincerely yours,

Unlike George Washington, we
