that she had more than one admirer, not count

said the vision prescribed a method of escape at

should build three small lfe-boats and should
suspend them by pulleys from the roof of his

The six month dispute be-
tween members of Transfers
Local 443 and the Bridgeport
Concrete Company has ended
with a ten cents an hour in
crease for the truck drivers.
1t took the intervention of
Gov. Robert A. Hurley and the
Connecticut Department of La
Dor to force a showdown on
the issue, John ]. Allen, secre-
tai.y-treasurer of the Local,
indicated in announcing the
settlement.
APPEAL TO HURLEY
The operators of the ready-mix
cement trucks asked the company
for 15-cent an hour increase last
April. Their early attempts to
negotiate got nowhere. The case
was referred to the State Labor
Department, but John Hays, depu-
ty labor commissioner, didn't seem
TO get anywhere, either.
On Sept. 1, Local 443 carried
the case directly to the Governor
for settlement under the terms of
the Victory Compact, signed by
both labor and management to
prevent work stoppages. After a
preliminary investigation, Gov.
Hurley put the matter back into
the hands of the Labor Depart
ment's Board of Mediation and
Arbitration, with the ultimatum
chat the Department settle the dis
pute or he would take a direct
hand i'm the matter.
RESULTS OBTAINED
Hayes resumed his talk with the
company officials, and it was on
Oct. z and his seventh trip from
Hartford to Bridgeport ON the case
since April that he told John G.
Schwarz, Jr., former Republican
candidate for Mayor of Bridgeport,
and president of the Bridgeport
Concrete Company, that a ten
cent increase was what the men
were entitled to. Schwarz sum-
moned the directors of the conn
pany, who then agreed to pay the
increase.

barrier to service in the Army Nurse
Corps Is luxury for a warning
nation.
Would Use Auxiliaries.
A solution to the nursing short
age has been suggested by Miss
Alma Haupt, executive secretary Of
the subcommittee on nursing. She
says that sharing" of certain sub
professional duties by subprofes-
Sional nurses auxiliaries can re-
lease the registered nurse for purely
nursing duties.
Room cleaning, busting, etc, can
be performed in many cases by nom
professionals. Some hospitals long
have followed this sharing" of duty,
saving the time and labor of the
registered nurse for tasks that re-
quire professional skill. The sub
professional jobs have provided paid
employment for many women.
The American Red Cross has been
trying for a year to recruit 100000
women to perform these Subpro-
feSSional nursing chores in its VOL
unteer Nurses Aide Corps. Women
who take the 80-hour course must
sign pledge not to accept pay
ment for any kind of nursing
service
Most recent figures issued by Mrs
Walter Lippman. national director
of the Red Cross Nurses Aide Corps,
show that only one-fourth Of the
required number have been re-
cruited
Some $1,000 women are in train
ing at present in 875 hospitals, 8 900
have been trained as nurses aides.
Many working women who apply for
the course cannot take it because
few hospitals give night and week
end classes. Many housewives who
would like to serve cannot do so
because of home duties and the
care of small children, according to
Mrs. Lippman.
