 ACCEPTS PENNANT
Danaher Urges Labor Management Committee
 in Army=Navy E Address

Hartford. Nov. 2o.-The formation of management-w worker committees to acouaint each with the problems of the other is a highly desirable trend in Connecticut labor relations State Labor Commissioner Corne- lirs I. Danaher told employees or tne Connecticut Telephone and Electric corporation, this afternoon, ourfls an award of the Army-NaVy E at the Meriden armory.
 MT. Danaher said this trend would continue in spite of the tlmlo Souls who see in this the bogey or com, munism. Tt is not communism, he said. Tt is common sense hecause an intelligent understand inc of company problems Is the best insurance any manufacturer can have against unreasonable laoor demands. It is good for the work CT, too, because it prevents hlm from making demands that will not permit his employer to operate suc- ceSsfully." , -
 MT. Danaher made the first for maj announcement of the creation of such a committee at the con ncctinut Telephone and Electric Corpora ton and congratulated mem- hers of the committee, representing both management and workers, ana who were present on the platform with him. ..
 He continued, "There is plenty Of room within the structure ot our American system for the satistaction of both employer and employe needs without animosity or i'll will. The most miserable lie that ever plagued labor relations is the statement that the ends of employer and employe must be antagonitsic, and there must exist & kind of class conflict De- tween them.
 "The ends of management and oi labor should be identical, can DC identical, are identical, if problems are worked out on 8 realistic, talr and impartial basis"
 In order to survive, when the war is over, MT. Danaher said, employ CTS and employees would have 70 cooperate fully, and cited the for nation of more than 1900 manage ment-worker committees throughout the country as evidence of this will to work together.
 Were never going back to the labor relations of fifty, twenty or even ten years ago." he concluded "The answer to our labor problem is not any kind of ism except Amer icanism. The kind of Americanism that is guaranteed by the Constitu- tion and under which we have grown up into a large and powerful na- tion. What you are seeing here to- day is the award of this coveted E is a token of the change that has taken place already. We are show ing that free men, unwhippd by tyranny, unburdened by dictatorship, can outproduce as they can outright, those who are reduced to mere auto matrons by ruthless state. We are proving that system which pre- serves and honors the individual dignity of the worker will build a better world for us, and for our children"

MAYOR ADVOCATES GROUP LIFE PLAN
Insurance Suggestion for City Employees Tabled By
 Finance Board

A group life insurance plan for city employees was advocated by Mayor Vincent A. Scully at meet ting of the board of finance yes- terday, but the board decided to withhold action until the next meeting.
 The mayor explained that under the plan each city employe could secure a $l 900 life insurance policy if the city paid Sl4,000 year and each worker. paid approximately 70 cents a month. Sixty-five per cent of the municipal employees would have to agree before the plan could become effective.
 Budget Director Thorvald E. Ol- sen reported that a shipment of 80 more parking meters has been re- ce.ved, but will be kept in reserve to replace any which are damaged or develop mechanical defects since no more meters can be pur- chased because of priority regula- tions.
 The board voted a transfer of Sl,- 800 to allow the city to make nnal payment on the meters now in use ana give the city title to them. A transfer of $i,500 for maintenance of police cars was also voted. An- other transfer, in the amount or e2.0OO. was made to pay the city's initial share of the cost of trolley rail removal by the WPA.
