Danaher Says

 At this point, the Commissioners temper was glowing, and the reporter, by the way of an attempt at restoring calm asked MT. Danaher if he had acceped the invitation to speak at the convention of the Conn. Feeder atlon of Labor, in New Haven, Sept. 7-9.
 The question accomplished its pur- pose.
 Danaher stated with pride that he accepted the invitation to at. tend. He didn't know what he was going to talk about, but he was pleased that he was invited by "special instructions of the execu. tibe board"
 T have been selected as one of three speakers to address the con- vention. The others are Gov. Baldwin and Secretary Perkins," said Danaher.
 Miss Perkins, as previously an- noutlced, is sending Joseph M. Tone, Danaher's predecessor as Conn. Com missioner of Labor, to represent her.
 Il got everything you ever wrote about me-and some day there will be an accounting for all the false and malicious attacks made on me by your paper. l don't hold you responsible. You've got your job to dO," he told the reporter.
 As the latter took leave, Danaher and Hayes shook hands with the re- porter, and the Commissioner de- parting words were:

Ceis was thrice delegate to the International Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers, and at the 1929 convention served on the Law Com mittee.
 He was born in New York, Nov. l6, l89. After two years at St. Johns College, preparatory school for Fordham University, he studied electricity at the New York Vocational School. After graduat- ing, Ceis worked for contractors in New York and Connecticut.
 He served in World War 1 as an electrician at the US. Naval Air Base in Queenstown, Ireland.
 Following the war he returned to Connecticut, and settled in Meri- den, where he became a member of Local GAP. He was business agent for this local for fifteen years. The Meriden union was merged with B-9O, in 193. Ceis has been active in B-9O, where he plays a quiet but effective role.

Men Who Lead Labor:

"A crying need of the labor movement is thorough knowledge of the game of politics" says Henry A. C. GEES, financial secretary of Local B-9O, New Haven Electrical Workers.
 Ceis, whose 2 years of active service in the Connecticut move ment includes experience on legis- lative committees, says his pet aversion is that of union officials holding political office. He believes that labor must ever be on guard against members using their union connections and prestige to ad- vance themselves in politics.
 ''Labor leaders should stay away from party politics." he declared. ''I am not against union men rum ming for political offices as citi- zens, and l believe every member of organized labor should vote preferably for fellow uniOnist, provided he is the right man for the job. Unions, themselves, should restrict their officers from holding political ofhce."
 Ceis stumped upper New York for Bob LaFollette as a third party candidate for President against Harding and Davis. He saw his candidate ''counted Out'' as receiv- ing little or no votes, with many of the voters filing post-election affi- davits that belied the count.
 ''I ann strongly in favor of electing the friends and defeating the enemies of labor, but all candi- dates should be judged strictly on their past actions and political records"
 Ceis was one of the founders of the State Association of Electrical Workers in 1921. He served on the executive board, the auditing and legislative committees of that body, to which he has been a delegate since its inception.
 He is several times a past presi- dent of the Connecticut Building Trades Council. On three occasions he declined to be a candidate for a vice-presidency of the Conn. Federation of Labor.

 ''In view of the fact we are giv- ing this broadcast statewide pub licity, and the great interest that it has aroused not only in the unions, but among the general pub- lie as whole, we trust that we may hear from you as soon as possible. ''

 The text of Rep. Compton's reply follows:
 Gentlemen:
 "This will acknowledge receipt of your courteous invitation to be present and participate in a sym posium on Aug. 26 beginning at 8:3O PM.

SELL. Presents Real Value In Life Insurance

One thousand dollars worth of life insurance coverage for SIPS. That is the value received by New Havener who invested in Savings Bank Life Insurance in March, 1942, but sur rendered his policy this year on enter ing the Armed Forces.
 This example of the low cost of SELL, is reported by the Connecti- cut Savings Bank, New Haven, one of the IS State mutual savings banks that is handling SELL. on a non- profit basis as service to the public.
 The insurance policy in this case was issued to young man at the age of 25, for the payment of $18.16, the annual premium. Forseeing the possi- bility that he might be called for mili- tary service, the bank explained that the policy carried war risk exclusion rider, which provides that death over seas while in military service is not covered by SELL.

before the VILE. panel that the market as Boston and Providence and were thus entitled to compar- able wages. The Providence rate is 97 cents an hour for operators. The Boston scale is somewhat higher.
 By the terms of the Connecticut Go. contract all employees are receiv- ing ten cents more an hour than last year. The top rate paid to the highest skilled mechanic is $104 an hour. Approximately 15O Connecticut Co. mechanical employees have also re- ceived merit increases of from five to seven cents an hour in addition to the ten-cent rise approved by the VILE. The merit increases went in effect without going before the Board for approval.
 Provisions of the 1943 contract between the Connecticut Co.,, which are essentially the same as the con- tract between the employees and the C. R. L. Corp, include:
 Operators wages 90 to 97 cents an hour; 8-hour day; time and half for overtime; two weeks vaca- ton 48-hour week; seven and half hours work guaranteed to extra men in l2-hour spread; fifteen minutes cashing in time; same pro- visions for women and men em- plOyes. This clause is part of the Amalgamated Associations policy.
 At present there are no women operators in the Connecticut System, said Curry. However, in Hartford, where women have been employed in work about the shops, there is some talk of employing them as bus ODer2forS

Trolleymen's Raise Given Official OK.
War Labor Board Approves Agreement Granting 1Oc Hourly Increase To 1776 Connecticut Co. Workers;
 C. R. & L. OK Due This Week

Some 1,776 A.FL. Bus and Trolley operators who work for the Connecticut Co.'s six-city transit system are this week drawing ten cents an hour more in pay, as a result of the War Labor Boards approval of their contract. The wage scale is now o2 cents to $1.O4 per hour, with 97 cents the rate for experienced operators.
 THE UNION TIMES, which last week broke the news that the VILE. was planning to approve the contracts between the employees of both the Connecticut Co. and C. R. & L. Corp, has learned that the C. R. & L. con- tract will be approved late this week. A total of 600 employees will benefit by it.
 Delay in the Boards action on the C. R. & L. agreement was caused by the belated submission of the machinists' contract. Unlike the Connecticut Co.,, where all employees are members of the Amal- gamated Association, some of the mechanical workers of the C. R. X L. ines are members of the LAM. The Machinists' contract also calls for an increase of ten cents an hour, and it, too, is said to have the OK. of the Board.
 Int transit panel which considered the contracts of the transportation companies recommended that the VILE. approve them on the basis of remedying inequities in wages.
