Organized Sabotage,
Fires and Explosions
Reported in Rumania
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
BERN, Switzerland. Oct. A
Budapest dispatch to the Basler
Nachrichten declared today
that an organized campaign of
sabotage has been under way
for the last five days in indus
trial cities of Axis dominated
Rumania.
The dispatch reported fires and
explosions, accompanied by heavy
loss of life, had partially destroyed
an important leather factory at
Mocior NitZa and the Schmidt
chemical works-one of the largest
plants of its kind in Rumania.
Telephone lines were said to have
been cut to hamper fire fighters and
first-aid units after four heavy ex-
plosions started a blaze in the
leather factory, where 81 persons
were reported to have perished. An
official explanation however, the
Budapest dispatch said. attributed
the disaster to a carelessly dropped
cigarette
After the fire in the Schmidt plant,
in which the loss of life was not
specified, military guards were said
to have been increased at all i'm
portant industrial establishments.
Despite the vigilance Of the guards,
two other factories engaged in pro-
duction of war materials were said
to have been damaged by explosions
only few hours apart.
The explosions were not unex-
pected, the dispatch said, since
sometime ago big military stores in
Bucharest were transferred to other
parts Of the country"
These reports followed an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Istanbul
Yesterday saying that information
from Rumania indicated that coun-
try is anxious to withdraw from the
war and is ready to make what she
regards as great concessions. The
Rumanians were said to be willing to
surrender their claims to Bessarabia
and Bucovina in favor of Russia If
necessary, but were represented as
anxious to regain Pennsylvania, the
rich western province they were

N. H. Council Will Display
 Service Flag
Committee Plans To Honor A.F.L. Members Serving
 Their Country

Plans for displaying service flag, bearing the total number of New Haven A.F.L. men and women in the armed services, are now be- ing worked out by a committee appointed at the last meeting of the New Haven Central Labor Council.
 Pres. Harold V. Feinmark of the Council appointed Timothy Noo- nan, Local 79, Carpenters; Sen. Joseph T. Rourke, B-9O Elec- tricians; and Carl C. Hoff, Local 234, New Haven Federation of Musicians to the service flag com mittee.
 Noonan reminded the Council that thousands of Aircraft Cadets at the Yale Training School march by the Labor Temple every day.
 ''In addition to hOnOring our members in the service," he said, "a flag with the number of A.F.L. men should encourage the soldiers by letting them know that we are behind them, and that we too, are contributing our members to the cause."
 The flag will bear one large star with the total number of A.F.L. members in the services. This num- Der will change from time to time as others enter the armed forces and as their locals report them.
 Secretaries of all locals affiliated with the Council were urged this week to get in touch with the Service Flag Committee and report to them the total number. of their members in the service.
 The service flag will be hung from the New Haven Labor Temple.
 An American flag has been placed in front of the Temple by the Labor Reality Corp, where it will be flown every day for the duration.

Legislature Stays
 Baby Wagner Act
By ROBERT B. RICKEL

Organized Iabor's chief IegisIa- tive aim, the State Labor Relations Act, is out for this session of the General Assembly. Between 225,- 900 to 25O,OOO workers in Con- necticut are still without protection of their collective bargaining rights, because of the political chicanery and legislative deceit of the anti- labor elements in the Senate and House of Representatives.
 Members of organized labor in the Senate, all Democrats, carried the fight to the opponents of the measure, and had the best of the argument, but they could not over- come the predetermined stand of the Republican party politicians against the bill. The final vote on the measure was l7 to IA for re- committing the bill to committee.
 This was the first time that a labor relations bill has failed to pass in the Senate in the last three sessions of the General Assembly.
 On the eve of the showdown on the measure, Gov. Raymond Baldwin issued a typical political statement to the press, declaring among other things, that if labor relations act was passed by both Houses of Assembly he would ap- prove the measure. 1t was a for gone conclusion that the governor could make this statement with no fear of having to carry it through, for every political observer, includ- ing the most ardent legislative par tisans in the House knew that the lower chamber would not pass labor relations act at this session, the upset in the Senate came as surprise to many.
 MT. Baldwin was quoted by the Senators during the debate as having stated that he was informed by labor leaders that they found little encour- agement for labor legislation now. Sen. William A. Scott, scored the Governor on this statement, declaring that 1t was incorrect"

LABOR GIVEN RUN-AR0UND BY BALDWIN
Referee Will Hear Yale & Towne Case

Members of Lodge 539, LAM, employed at the Yale and TOwne Co.,, Stamford, many of whom are earning as low as B cents an hour, and mechanics getting as much as 40 cents less an hour for work of equal skill .as workers in other plants, are this week little nearer to War Labor Board action on the wage provisions of their interim agreement. The agreement has been in the hands of the VILE. since February.
 The Board has appointed Nit cheu Shipman as referee on the matters in dispute, according to a telegram received by Fred Ceder- holm, Grand Lodge representative who with Samuel Newman, Inter- national vice-president of the LAM, has been instrumental in organizing 2,OOO of the 2,5OO eligible production and mainten- ance employees at the plant.
 The workers wishing to affiliate with the Machinists won an 1811- to-222 victory in an N.L.R.B. election at the Yale and Towne plant last October. They subsequently, received a charter, began negotiations with the company, and later submitted a con- tract to the War Labor Board.
 The contract contained number of provisions agreed to by both the workers and the management. There was no agreement, however, on wage increases. By mutual con-
