Bernard Reports
On Job Inquiry

The Bridgeport Central Labor
Unions inquiry into charges that long
time residents of the Park City
couldn't get jobs in war industries
while thousands of non-residents were
being hired, ended this week with
President Pete Bernard absolving the
local office of the U. S. Employment
Service and factory personnel mana
gers of such discrimination.
The inquiry, however, did not &C
into other types of discrimination said
by union men to prevail in the area
Hiring of Negroes and women for
jobs which they are capable of al
union rates is not widespread. An
other charge made by union men
worthy of an inquiry, is that Negroes
and women do not have the same OPP
portunities for training.
Bernard reported the receipt of only
six complaints and none of them
proved bonafde.

labor Must Haze Representation On All Rationi1g Boards

The absolute necessity for
labor representation on all
local, city and county ration
ing boards was underlined
this week i'm series of COM
municatiOns to all Connecticut
central labor bodies from
President William Green of
the American Federation of
Labor and from Secretary
Treasurer John ]. Egan of the
Connecticut Federation of La
Dor. Green enclosed a copy of
Field Administrative Letter
No. 3 from the Office of Price
Administration, a section of
which reads:
'sMembership of the individual
boards should include members
from labor and, sOhere appropriate,
members from agriculture. In the
selection of labor and farm menu
bers the nominating body should
consult the recognized state and
local organizations of labor and
farmers"
ECAN GIVES FACTS
Egan, in his communications, stress
ed the fact that the real wages OF
each AFL member will be affected
by the rationing and price fixing
agencies in his locality. From sur
vey conducted by him he concluded
that labor was adequately represented
on all county boards, but not on all
local boards. In order to clear up any
confusion with regard to price cell
ings which go hand in hand with
rationing, Egan has invited Miss
Ellen Marshall, a representative OF
the New England O.P.A. Admins
tration, to address the central labor
bodies. She has already appeared be-
for the Hartford and Bridgeport
CL.U's.
SHEA-SCORY
Egan cited the case of the Mid
dIetown local board, which turned
down requests by Thomas Shea,
assistant secretary of the GIL, and
Clifton Scory, GIL vice-president,
for added gas allowances. Shea is

HARTFORD MEETING.
The Hartford C.L.U. meeting at
tended by Miss Marshall and Shea
proved the great interest of ALL
members in their real wages. Miss
Marshall spoke for 80 minutes, an
swered questions for an hour and
half and was quized by interested
groups after the meeting. William
Scott, CL.U. president, presided.

The greatest decline came in
rents, which dropped l.29o as the

prices also declined O.59o as the
results of restoration of March

FOOD PRICES UP
Food prices, some of which, be-
cause of special provisions of the
price control law cannot be brought
under control, rose O.3%o. Fuel,
electricity and ice rose O.19o.
Among the cities covered, Birm-
ingham showed the greatest decline

ster and drove slowly to the
apartment she still shared with
Nudge. She packed her clothes
and few little trinkets. Her
luggage she placed in the trunk
of her car. To Nudge she wrote
brief, friendly farewell note.
When she reached the Courier
office the sun had already de-
scended. She CROPPED for a light
switch, and the bright glare mo-
mentarily blinded her. AS her
vision cleared, she stared in as
tonishment.
Grotesquely uncomfortable, Jim
was slumped in the swivel chair
he had rescued from the ruins OF
the old office. His head rolled
crafty along the back edge OF
the chair. On the table in front
of him stood an empty whisky
bottle.
Shocked, Penny stood still, de-
batting what to do next. She re-
membered his steadfast resolu-
ton to refrain from drinking

Jim had thrown his ancient
valise in a corner. She carried it
out to his dusty car, placing the
heavy grip tenderly on the back
seat. She removed her own lug
gage from the roadster and
placed it beside his. She had
some difficulty in rousing him
sufficiently so that he could
walk with her, unsteadily, to the
decrepit vehicle he loved so we'll.
Jim needs me-" she repeated
over and over again. He needs
me. He needs me-"
Now there was music in
Penny's heart. Never had the
night seemed so glorious. Never
had a trip seemed SO pleasant.
Jim's car creaked and groaned
protestingly, but she wouldn't
want it otherwise.
Penny had found herself at
last. She belonged in KirktoWn,
with Jim. Here she could do the
most good. Here. with jim, she
could be happiest.
"Okay, JIM" she said softly.

of packing and waiting for a

AT the station he poured last
minute instructions to Penny.

whispered. "A month is a long

the surprise in store for Jim on
