Sterilization
Order Change
UrgedByALP
Says Labor Is Bearing Brunt
Of Fight Against
Imitation

NEW YORK.-The so-called Little
Steel wage formula outmoded by the
rising cost of living, shifts the burden
of hating initiation exclusively on the
workers" the American Labor party
said in statement to government
officials urging revamping of the
Wage Sterilization Order.
The statement, prepared at the
request of $50 ALL. and Clio.
unions affiliated with the ALP,
points out that the only two planks
of Pres. Roosevelt's seven-point pro-
gram for curbing initiation which
have been enforced concern wage
freezing and voluntary savings.
Labor accepted the Little Steel
formula at the time it was proclaimed
because it was anxious to help win the
war against imitation" the statement
says. 1T knows that labor is always
the chief victim of inhationary trends.
But if imitation is to come because
Congress lacks the courage to take
prompt and effective measures to inn
plement the entire program and make
it enforcible, labor cannot be expected
to bear the brunt of the fight"

Insurance Firms
Are Accepting
Wage-HourLaws

State enforcement of the Federal
Wage-Hour Law during 1912 brought
back wages of $260,433 to $3.50 Con-
necticut employees. Most of the resti-
tuition payments were made volun-
tarily by employers when advised of
violations. There were only two GRIM
inal prosecutions and seven civil &C
lions brought during the year.
One important extension of the
Wage-Hour Act has been the volun-
tary acceptance of insurance COM
panies of the Wage-Hour provisions
Through this action more than $780,
600 insurance employees throughout
the country were assured of protec
ton through the Wage-Hour Law.
Local insurance companies gener-
ally began to comply during 1941 after
investigations were undertaken by the
Wage-Hour staff of the Connecticut
Department of Labor. Employees of
shade tobacco growers, where inter
state commerce is involved, also be-
gan complying with the Wage-Hour
Law voluntarily last year.

ing hours of most workers in the
areas, because most of them were now
working from 81 to 90 hours a week.
Doctors offices are crowded with
workers wanting to know if the doc
tor can tell them what's wrong" de-
clared Egan. "They catch colds easily.
Usually the doctor tells them to rest
at home in bed to cure their colds.
Because they try to get in long hours
they do not heed this sound advice,
and it's beginning to tell on some
workers"

S.B.L.I. to the public
At the bank was informed that
Robert C.. Clazier, president of the
Society, talked to representatives
of the press, but that he was i'm a
hurry to get to an important meet
ing. When an attempt was made
for a definite interview at his con-
venience, Clazier saw me at once.
There is nothing that | know
of pending in the nature of Savings
Bank Life Insurance." said the tall,
sOft-spoken bank president.
told him that workers in
Bridgeport were availing them
selves of the opportunity to buy
IOw-cost life insurance at the
Bridgeport Peoples Savings Bank
and asked if he didn't think that
the workers of Hartford were en-
titled to the same opportunity. 1t
was pointed out that the Bridge
pOrt-PeOple's Savings Bank which
has been in the S.B.L.I. plan from
its inception, has about $45O,OOO
of the almost 81 $4,000 total S.B.
Ii. in force, and holds the same
position in Bridgeport as the So
ciety for Savings holds in Hartford.
To this he replied: eve haven't
heard anything about Savings Bank
Life Insurance in the Hartford
banks but | am not a spokesman
for the other banks.' With that our
interview came to an end for Mr..
Clazier had to hurry off to his inn
pOrtant meeting.
TRUSTEES INSURANCE MEN
There are a number of persons in
Hartford and elsewhere who say that
the Hartford banks will not provide
Savings Bank Insurance because the
boards of trustees of the banks are
dominated by high ranking officials
of the country's largest ordinary in
surance concerns, and that S.B.L.I.
is nothing more than ordinary insur-
ance made available to the public at
cost.
A counter argument to this line is
that S.BL.I. serves a portion of the
public that seldom if ever buys or
binary insurance If the trustees OF
the banks are not aware of the de-
mand for low-cost -the-counter
insurance, it has been suggested that
the public has been kept in ignorance
of it by the management.
Serving on the board of trustees
of the Society for Savings are these
important insurance persOnages:
L. Edmund Zacher, president of the
Travellers Insurance; James L.
LOOMS, president of the Connect
cut Mutual Life; Stillman West
brook, and Morgan B. Brainard,
Jr., vice-presidents of the Aetna
Life; W. r. C. Corson, president
of Hartford Steam and Boiler, and
director of Aetna Life; Francis w.
Cole, general counsel for Travellers;
and M. Clark Terrill and Charles
Wells Gross of the Phoenix lnsur-
ance Co.
WOMEN SHOW INTEREST
John P. Royston, general manager
OF the Savings Bank Life Insurance
Fund in releasing a statement of the
amount OF insurance III lolCe ulluCl
S.B.L.L as of January 80, pointed
to the fact that not one of 1907 policy
holders have died as of February 10.
There is growing interest
among women industrial workers
in Savings Bank Life Insurance,
said Royston, adding that those
who have taken out policies had
carried no life insurance pre-
viOusly.

Senate Votes Today On Bankhead Measure
Motion to Override Presidents Veto Provides Sharp.
 est Test of ROOsevelt's Strength in COnrgess

mula. Brown alreacy has asserted that the Bankhead and Pace bills together would increase living costs i6 to i7 per cent.
 The Senate vote on the Bankhead bill will provide the sharpest test of President RooseveltS strength in this Congress. If his veto Is sustained 1t will be his first major victory over the farm bloc in long time.
 A last minute unofficial poll indi- cated that the decision could go either way with Q margin of one or two votes. Farm organizat ton lead- CTS expected 75 votes to be cast and claimed at least 5l-one more than the two-thirds necessary to override the veto.
 Farm bloc senators who rolled up a 78-to-2 margin for the bill when 1t passed the Senate originally on Feb. 25, conceded privately, however, that the vote might go the other way by the same margin.
 In addition to Browns and Presi- dent Roosevelt's warning, Chester c. Davis, the new food administra- tor, has told farm organization lead CTS, that he will oppose the Pace Dill when he appears before the Senate committee later this week. That indicated that he has thrown his support behind the president in questions of holding the present line to stabilize all wages and prices,
 One of the biggest vote-getting arguments of the administration has been the warning by the president, OPA and the War Labor Board that If farm prices are boosted by the Bankhead and Pace bills 1t will be impossible to maintain the Little Steel" wage ceiling formula and probably impossible to deny John L, Lewis bituminous coal miners the $2-a-day wage increase they are de- manding.
 In its final warning against en- actment of the Bankhead bill, OPA asserted that three major commodi- ties-corn, wheat and sugar-would be affected immediately. Because corn is a basic feed, 1t added, an in- crease in the corn price wuld have whispered effects among other commodities such as pork, beef, poultry. and dairy products.
 Bankhead challenged the OPA ar- guments. He said corn was the only commodity which would be affected because 1t was the only farm pro- duct on which OPA has placed a | ceiling.

BOARD APPEALS
 OLD ORDINANCES
Protest From Two Alder. men Fails to Delay
 Action

Although many aldermen were un- der the impression that the so- called obsolete ordinances should be described and discussed before Q vote for repeal went through, many were repealed despite the efforts of Aldermen Peter DeCicco and Joseph Gelgauda, who requested that copies of the ordinances be passed out and ample time given to study them.
 A committee of five aldermen were selected last year for the purpose of revising the city ordinances after motions were made to repeal.
 One of the repealed ordinances provided for methods of testing weights and measures by the city sealer, containing the fees he should charge. A state statute has con- trolled this during recent years Another ordinance demanded that coal be weighed on the municipal scales, providing 1t was sold in the city. Such scales have been non- existant for many years. Another pertained to supervision of street railways. No railways exist in the city now, etc.
 They represent the people and wish to make sure the people of Wa terbury are treated justly, said Al- derman DeCicco. He asserted that some of the ordinances were re- pealed by aldermen who are stooges for people who are affected by re- peal.
