He asked that such proceed ures, through a cooperative win-the-war spirit of both par ties, be put into effect so that grievances and disputes may be irOned out in the war plants in a peaceful manner without the necessity of referring them to the VILE.
 Wallen emphasized that since both organized workers and management realize that the basis for the national war labor policy is still voluntary agreement between the leaders of labor and industry that there be no strikes or lockouts for the duration policy first formally announced by the Connecticut Victory Compact-the need for such procedures is essential for maximum production.
 ''The successful prosecution of the war demands that as many col- lective bargaining agreements as possible contain proper grievance procedures which will provide prompt initial attention to griev- ances by those in the plant who

 Conference

Bridgeport Building Trades Coun- cil at its last meeting unanimously voted to publicize the official records of anti-labor senators and congressman, and to keep these records before the public.
 Details on plans for making this motion effective will be discussed further at the Aug. 26 meeting of the Council.
 During the discussion of the mo- ton, stress was laid on the impor- tance of publicizing the anti-labor and anti-public stand of legislators before they are re-nominated in the primaries in order to serve notice on them and on their political parties that labor is opposed to their reelection.
 Delegates to Council voted to en- dorse the Bridgeport Branch of the Conn. Conference on Social Labor Legislation, and to send representa- tives to the branch. George Mylen Bridgeport Local 408, Electrical Workers is chairman of the delega- ton.

Lists Those Who Suffer The Most

WASHINGTON.-The Office of War Information has gotten out a release for newspapers on the shellacking that 20 million citizens are taking with every rise in the cost of living"
 Here is the makeup of the 20 million on fixed low wages, pensions or allOtments or meagre government checks:
 Dependents of men in the armed services, 9,0OO,OOO.
 Aged persons on state public assistance rolls, nearly 2,2OO, ,OOO.
 Disabled veterans, or their widows and children, 100000. Retired and disabled fremen, state or municipal employees, 158,- 900.
 Dependent children getting aid through public welfare funds, 739,OOO.
 Blind, 53,OOO.
 Retired workers or their widows and young children getting pay ments from the Social Security Board, 100000.
 Persons drawing annuities, 4OO,- 900.
 Teachers, fremen, policemen, nurses in state and city hospitals, other municipal, state and federal workers on fixed salaries, 6,OOO,- 900.
 This Is the group of unorganized millions alluded to by the President In his message to Congress when he vetoed the Commodity Credit Corp. bill with its anti-subsidy rider. He said they were in danger of becoming : the forgotten men of the nation.
 The OWI report does not take into account the 100000 who, the Presi- dent said, still were receiving less than 40 cents an hour i'll wages.
 Many young wives of army and navy men with small children are unable to take jobs because of the lack of child care facilities. They try to get along on $62, SIP, $82 or more, depending on the number of children, a month. In states qualified for Lanham Act funds wives can receive free maternity care.
 "The Red Cross and the Army and Navy relief organizations are working constantly to relieve hardship cases, , says the OWI. "No figures are avail able on the amount of aid already extended, but in one eastern state on Mar. IS of this year there were 1.481 cases of servicemen whose de- pendents were receiving public as1 sistance."
 Since 1o33 teachers salaries have risen less than 790. Of the 8o3,760 public school teachers, 4090 receive less than $500 annually, and 10000, less than $500 annually. In June, 1o42, { the average monthly salary of federal employees was $160.11. In March, 1943, it had risen to $1S4.77.

2,OOO Needed In New Haven For Wary
''Work To Win" Group Seeks Replacements
 For Drafted Men

Some 2,OOO workers are urgently needed for war jobs in the New Haven area to replace employees in- ducted into the armed forces, de- cIares Mrs. Alice C. Marshall direc- tor of the local office of the United States Employment Service, and chairman of the Elm City ''Work to Win Committee
 Men and women interested in serv- ing the war program through indus trial employment, are urged to regis ter either at 1o0 Temple St., head quarters of the Committee, or at the U. s. E. s. office, 673 Chapel St.
 'sWe are faced with a very acute labor shortage in New Haven at this time." Mrs. Marshall said. eve must have more people to work in our war plants if we are to keep the production of war weapons and material at peek proportions. With several thousands of our men from this area now serving with the armed forces we must turn to the women of the area to fill their places. We are appealing to house. wives without small children to those now engaged in nOn-essential occupations and others to come to the aid of their country by taking a war job."
 Mrs. Marshall pointed out that women are wanted for a variety of machine jobs, most of which are as easy as operating a vacuum cleaner for assembly and inspection jobs, and for many other easily learned, but inn portant war jobs. In addition there is a strong demand for heavy laborers and in connection with these she pointed out that it is most important that these be filled because they work on preparation of the raw materials for the trip through the production line.
 No experience is required for practically all of the jobs which are easily mastered and for which the employees will be paid as they learn.

Stamford Co. Case Before VILE. In NY.
LAM. 1913, Seeks Stand ard Pay Rates At
 Homelite Co.

The long dispute between the 200 employees of Homelite Corp, East Port Chester, and the company over pay rates for various jobs, will be settled by action of the Second Re gional War Labor Board, according to Fred Cederholm, LAM. organizer of Lodge 1913, the bargaining agent for the workers.
 Cederholm and J. Allen Abbott, president of the Homelite firm, have been summoned by the Board to meet with Aaron E. Schneyer, VILE. hearing officer at the Sec. ond Regional Boards headquarters, 22O East 42nd St., New York, on Aug. l9, for the purpose of estab- fishing pay rates for each job.
 Schneyer, who is an expert at job valuation, will act as an arbitrator in the case. The New York VILE, under whose jurisdiction the Stamford area falls has established wage scales for all types of industrial work. These will be applied in establishing the hourly rates and in the grading and classifying of work at the Home lite Co.,, said Cederholm.

 Whatever be its adaptation to the needs of the plant, the grievance pro- cedure should provide for the final and binding settlement of all grievances not otherwise resolved. For this pur- pose provision should be made for settlement of grievances by an arbi- trator, impartial chairman or umpire under terms and conditions agreed to by the employer and the union who should, nevertheless, make every at- tempt to settle any grievance which arises without the necessity of re- course to arbitration"

Practical to Pasteurize Your
Home Canned Tomato Juice

for juice If they are ripe but ur-
bruised. The peeled fruit should
be simmered until soft enough to
press into a sieve, but 1t should not
be allowed'to boil. the strained Juice
should be heated over boiling water
and poured at once into sterilized
jars.
Jars are sterilized- by boiling IS
minutes. After the jars are filled
and sealed completely they should
be laid on their sides in hot but not
boiling water for minutes. This
process is called pasteurizing and
will prevent spoilage. Previously 1t
was not considered necessary to
pasteurize tomato juice, but our
modern high-bred tomatoes are
lacking in acid and keep better
when they are subjected to pasteur-
ization. 1t is recommended that
all canned fruit juices be pasteuf-
tied.
Fruits have been so expensive this
year that few of US have planned
to use any for juice. Perhaps you
have grapevine or know generous
friend who has one who viii supply
you with grapes later in the season.
CANNED TOMATO JUICE.
Select firm ripe tomatoes (they
do not have to be perfect in shape,
wash, remove stem ends, cut in
eighths and simmer in kettle until
very soft, about 80 minutes. Do not
allow tomatoes to boil. Force through
sieve to remove seeds and skins,
add u to "a teaspoon salt to each
quart juice. Heat Juice over rapidly
boiling water until very. hot. Pour
at once into hot sterilized jars, Ill
to overfiowing. Remove foam and
replace with hot juice. Seal imme-
diately. Pasteurize by laying jars
on sides in kettle filled with hot,
not boiling, water for minutes.
Remove, place in lukewarm water s
minutes. Cool quickly in very cold
water. Store in cold, dark place.
If spices are desired add just before
serving, as they tend to discolor the
juice. Allow about pounds of to-
matoes for each quart jar.

Save Those Meat Coupons.

Planning interesting and appe-
tizing meals that please the whole
family is bigger problem than ever
these days. Now that meat is ra-
toned, every homemaker must use
intelligence and imagination when
she plans the daily meals. Food
rationing is a challenge to every
woman. challenge which is being
met with cheerfulness and ingenu-
ity in every American home.
Many families have found that
they prefer to eat meat alternates
such as beans, cheese, eggs and fish
several days week in order to save
up points for big roast or a gener-
Gus steak. That's why clever home
makers are devising new and inter-
esting ways to serve meat alter
mates.
One novel way to serve beans is
offered in today's recipe for bean
patties. Boiled or baked navy kid
ney or lima beans may be used with
CHodhy 6OOo lCSulLS-Au GXCclle0L
way to use leftover beans. Bean
patties are an especially happy
choice for wartime eating because
they require only half a pound Of
beans-which cost but z ration
points-to make six generous serv-
ings. Seasoned with onion, salt,
pepper and little catsup, bean pat
ties have lots of taste appeal and
they are especially delicious when
served with their own catsup sauce.
An important ingredient in this
recipe are corn flake crumbs which
impart extra flavor and make the
patties more nutritious, too.
Wise homemakers are using corn
fakes and other ready-to-eat
cereals more often these days, not
only at breakfast but at other meals
as we'll. Such cereals are so crisp
that only few seconds are required
to roll them into crumbs to use as
an ingredient in meat loaves and
