Housewives Requested To Carry Purchases
Reduction in Delivery Service to Benefit Conservation
 Program; Present Trucks Must Be Maintained

Boston, Aug. 14.-Housewives of New England can help materially in the war effort by demanding fewer services from delivery trucks, Jo- seph B. Eastman, defense transpor- tation director, said today, in a statement issued through the Re- gional News Bureau, Office of War Information.
 "If the housewives space their puchases so that fewer trips are necessary, carry their own packages wherever possible, and finally let those upon whom they depend for necessary delivery services know that they are anxious to cooperate in ODT conservation program, they will be doing their country real service in this emergency" Eastman said.
 Trucks Must Last!
 "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that the present supply of trucks must be made to last for the duration of the war. Manufac- turing plants that formerly turned out hundreds of thousands of trucks each year for civilian use are now either making trucks for the army or other military equipment The trucks that we have must do the work without the help of new trucks or replacements.
 ITO prolong the life of our pres ent trucks and keep their tires run ming longer, two things are neces- sary. Trucks must be better cared for than they have been in the past, and all non- essential services must be eliminated. It is in the latter effort that the housewives of Amer ica can be of real help.
 "ODT has issued number of or derS which set up the framework for conservation of the country's 5000,000 trucks, and the indications are that the great majority of op- orators have made big mileage re- auctions. Full success in the con- Servation program, however, will de- pend on the lengths to which the nations housewives are ready to go in cooperating with the local dellv- cry industry in its efforts to con- serve tires and equipment.
 Unnecessary Trips
 Tt came to be the custom for de- partment stores, groceries, laundries, cleaning firms, bakeries, dairies, drug stores. and other industries and enterprises serving the nations households to perform all manner of delivery services by truck which were convenient and pleasant for us all. but very far from necessary. VI can get along without them Wry well, and we shall be lucky M the war brings us no worse hardship

Conference Held
 At conference in New York Tues day, the union asserted, Mrs. Fillmore Herrick, regional director of the NLRB, upheld union protests against a letter sent by the company to all employees and against statements in management - issued publications. Mrs. Herrick, said CIO leaders, asked the company to retract the letter. A reply to her request was said to have been promised for the next morning, but, claims the union, the management took no action to- ward retraction.
 In the letter to its employees, mailed last week, the company stated that it would mot voluntarily agree" to union demands even if the union should win bargaining rights in the NLRB election. In it's statement today, the union said that Mrs. Herrick had characterized this as an attempt to influence company employees against the CIO.
 The union also stated that Mrs. Herrick had criticized company dec larations that the closed shop and the check-off of union dues "un- American, though both have been upheld by the U. s. Supreme Court.
 Statement Untrue"
 The union, in its account of the conference at New York, said that Mrs. Herrick had said to company representatives, You know that statement is not true", when shown a management statement that the labor board has asked the Scovill Mechanics Union to seek a place on the ballot.
 The union said that it had been offered by the NLRB the right to hold the election outside company property or to postpone the election. Both proposals were voted down at a meeting of the Scovill local last nights the workers passing vote

WAGES OBTAINED
 FROM EMPLOYERS
Restitution Amounting to $l8l,239 Obtained By
 Labor Department

Restitution of wages in the amount of $181, ,238 to 4567 em- ployes because of employer viola
 tions of the federal wage-hour law
 during the fiscal year ending June 30 of this year, was today announc- ed by state labor commissions and described by him as the most effective enforcement of this law in Connecticut since its passage, sev- eral years ago.
 In making known the details of wage-hour enforcement, Commis- sioner Danaher praised the coopera- tion which enforcement officials have received from employers in the state and pointed to the fact that of 670 individual investigations closed during the year it was neces- sary to bring criminal proceedings in only cases.
 While the amount recovered from employers exceeded the previous year by more than $100,O00 MT. Danaher said, the actual number of complaints received during the year were 274 as compared with 559 in the previous year.
 In addition to performing their usual duties MT. Danaher said, in- spectors of the division had during the year also conducted important Investigations for the War Produc- ton Board and the Office of Price Administrator, in making inven- tories of dealers in aluminium, tires, and scrap iron as well as assisting in housing surveys.
 Inspection of wage records dur ing the past year MT. Danaher re- ported covered industries employing 96,923 persons.
 Because of the record achieved in Connecticut, MT. Danaher said, agreement was recently signed with the federal government which leaves enforcement of the federal wage hour law virtually in the hands of state officials, condition that pre- vails in only one other state.

but they need public support to get the best results. If the operator of a local delivery service knows that the housewives in this con- munity stand behind his efforts to reduce mileage, his task will be far easier. If he does not have their help, he will live in constant fear that his competitors will be more obliging and cut in on his business, and he will begin to slip. If too many slip, the danger is very real that before many months we shall not have the vehicles and the tires for all the delivery services that are essential"
