More Child Care

thusiasm for child care centers. despite the fact that the War Man power Commission is of the Opin- ion that they are a necessary ad- junct to full recruitment for war production. The recommendation of the Council of Social Agencies for more child care centers has been referred to the committee on schools of the Board of Education, which has had one meeting, but has not yet come to a decision.
 Following is the text of the reso- lution adopted by the Central Labor Council:
 Resolved, That the New Haven Central Labor Council, in regular meeting assembled on Thursday, May 6, 1943, hereby goes on record as en- dorsing the action of the Committee on War Time Care of Children of the Council of Social Agencies in re- questing the Board of Education, as official sponsor, to apply to the Fed eral Government for supplementary Lanham Act funds to establish addi- tional child care centers to be oper- ated by State Teachers College.

Buns Is Word For Workers,
 ManagerSays
Wire Machinery Corp, New Haven, Refuses To
 Consent Election

A. J. Rooting, manager of the Wire Machinery Corporation of America New Haven, where majority of em- ployes have signed cards authorizing Local B-oO, Electrical Workers, as their bargaining agent, this week re- fused to agree to a consent election at the plant.
 Examiner s. Merrick, of the National Labor Relations Board, called upon Roofing, in response to a letter from Sen. Joseph T. ROurke, business agent of the Lo- cal. ROOting maintained that only minority of his men wanted to join the union. An official hearing and an ordered election are the next steps in the case, Rourke in- dicated.
 Rourke attempted to arrange an interview with Roofing on Friday, April 30, to discuss collective bargain ing with him, on the basis of authori- ration cards signed by the employees. Rooting refused, and Rourke reported the case to the N.L.R.B. for action. In his letter to the Labor Board, Rourke stated that the plant manager had become abusive and called the workers "stevedores." :"
 When asked about this by the N.L.R.B. examiner, the plant man. ager denied that he called them 'stevedOres', but stated that he had referred to them as ''bums'1.

Contractors
 Sign Up With Painters, l86
Lower Scale On Jobs Under $1O,OOO Is Eliminated
 By N. H. Local

Local l86, New Haven Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers, has signed l943 contracts with nine companies. A rate of $Il day for all painting work, and the renewal of all other terms of the l942 agreement is provided for in the contract, which are effective April l, according to Saul Kreas, business agent of the Local.
 The only manner in which this years contracts differ from last years are that they do away with the lower scale that prevailed for jobs not exceeding $IO,OOO. The $ll-day rate was paid in l942 on new and commercial construction above $lO,OOO.
 KreaS explained that since the maxi mum rate of pay has not been increas- ed for painters, 1t is not necessary to submit the contract to the War Labor Board for approval. According to the agreement, paperhangers, decorators and sign painters may receive higher pay than that called for in the con- tract, in accordance with their ability and their individual agreement with their employers.
 ''The attitude of the contractors was fair and we didn't encounter many difficulties. In fact the en-

American Arbitration Asso- ciation Seeks Advice Of New Haven C.L.C.
 President

National recognition of his work in the labor movement was ac. corded this week to Harold V. Fein. mark, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council, when he was appointed to the National Labor Advisory Council of the American Arbitration Association.
 Officials of the Advisory Coun. cil include Matthew WoII and Emil Rieve, honorary chairmen; Paul Fitzpatrick, executive officer; and A. Hatvany, acting secretary.
 While this Association has the benefit and advice of representatives ot labor on its Board of Directors, we feel the need of establishing a direct channel with authoritative source! throughout the rest of the country, wrote Fitzpatrick in his letter tc Feinmark.
 ''It is our belief that you have much of value to contribute to the development of sound program of voluntary arbitration the thought is we need your advice and counsel and that if men of good spirit in the labor field will give us the bene- fit of their experience and judg. ment in regard to the major ques- tions as they come up; then, we can do better job for labor.''
 The Council is to be composed ot members from every part of the United States.

Conn. Co.'s Offer
 Accepted By Men

A total of 14O6 of the 1000 trOlleymen, bus operators and mis- cellaneous employees of the Con- necticut Co.'s six city transit sys- tems have voted more than two to one to accept the lO-cent an hour increase in pay as offered by the company. This accepted offer, if approved by the War Labor Board, would increase motOrmen's and bus drivers pay to 97 cents an hour.
 The acceptance of the increase brings to a close a month of negotia- tions between the Connecticut Co. and the State Board of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Rail ways and Motor Coach Employees working for the corporation in New Haven, Hartford, Middletown, Stam- ford, Norwich and Meriden.
 Included in the contract are merit increases for mechanics em- ployed by the company. Samuel F.. Curry, president of the State Board, told THE UNION TIMES that AS men in the mechanical department of the company were upgraded from 89 cents to 94 cents per hour, and about 25 were raised from 85 to 89 cents. These raises need not be approved by the W.L.B., but if the lO-cent increase is approved it will be added to the merit increases.
 A guarantee of seven and a half hours work for extra men within a 12-hour, instead of a 13-hour spread, or period of reporting for work, was written into the 1943 contract. The company also agreed to pay overtime rates of time -and-a-half for work done by regular employees after the twelfth hour in which a worker has reported for work, irrespective of the actual time on the job.
 The total results of the voting on the company's proposal which was held on the transit company's property in each city was $50 to 45o, stated Curry, who is business agent of Div. 281, New Haven Trolleymen.
 If the wage term of the new con- tract is approved by the W.L.B., motormen and bus drivers will re- ceive the same wages as those paid by the Eastern Massachusetts Co. the highest in New England ex- cepting Boston.
 Richard Bennett, vice-president and general meber of the Connecticut Co.,, represented the transit corporation in the negotiations.

Tierney Is Offered Job

tor of the W.M.C. however, is still trying to get Tierney for local area director, a position that requires Senate approval.
 The appointment to the Federal Housing position is for the duration and six months afterwards. Unless the government agencies decide that his services will be more valuable to the war program in the W.M.C. position, Ilerney is likely to remain with the Federal Housing Authority.
 Tierney, who is president of the State Electrical Workers Associa- ton, is former vice-president of the Conn. Federation of Labor and former business agent of Local B-9O, Electrical Workers. The New Haven Central Labor Council re- gently endorsed him for a position with the Federal Government.

Hartford Leaders Appointed To War Housing Center
 Advisory Committee

Three members of organized labor, including president of the Hartford Board of Alderman, and member of B-1Ol3, Electrical Device Workers, Frank M. Heavey ; and Frank Morris, secretary of the Central Labor Union, have been appointed by Mayor Thomas Spell lacy, to the Hartford War Housing Center Advisory Committee.
 The Housing Center is the agency which supplies tenants for public prof ects and is concerned with the full utilization of existing structures for war workers dwelling quarters. The committee will work with William B McCue, manager of the Center, to ia cilitate the conversion of residential buildings to accommodate workers.
 McCue has stated that 10000 addition war workers could be accommodated if all available dwellings were adapted for fullest tenancy and zoning regulations re- faxed to facilitate the conversion.
 The Hartford Real Estate Board, after a survey, declared recently that only about 300 properties are available for conversion.
 Both estimates are said to represent extremes. The city commissioners have opposed any changes in zoning laws, fearing that to do so would have an adverse effect on real estate values and assessments on residential prop critics.
 Mrs. Martha Hard, Social Service Employees, C.IO., is also a member of the committee.

Legislature Drifts Slowly
 Into Oblivion
Passage Of State Labor Re lations Act Considered
 Highly Doubtful
(See Editorial: "State Labor Relations Act.' .''-EditOr)

As THE UNION TIMES went to press this week laborites in the General Assembly were doing their best to get a labor relations law enacted before the adjournment of the legislature.
 Efforts to have the Labor Commit tee report out favorably the Conn. Federation of Labor's S.L.R.A. Bill ended in failure Tuesday. The Com mittee voted, 7 to 6, to make an un- favorable report. Rep. Herbert Wanderer, Republican chairman of committee, broke the tie. Sen. Maxsim Pepin, Senate chairman of the con- mittee, was among the three members who did not vote on the issue. The House accepted the report Wednesday.
 Sen. James P. Ceelan, Democrat, New Haven, was preparing to take the state labor relations bill from the foot of the Senate calendar where it had been placed when un- favorably reported out of commit tee three months ago. He intended to take this action last week but was persuaded to wait until this week before asking the Senate to take action on the committee-rejected measure. Both bills are described as identical.
 THE UNION TIMES made 20 attempts to contact Gov. Baldwin to ask him if he had taken the matter up with the Labor Committee as he had promised on Monday, April 20. The Governor, however, was either ssin conference" or 'not available for talking"
 Sen. Joseph T. Rourke, Democrat, New Haven, Rep. Alfo Urbinati, Democrat, Norwich, and Rep. Arthur LaBarge, Republican, all members of the Labor Committee, declared late last week, that time had come for the showdown.
 Rourke said that there were enough Republicans willing to vote for either measure to pass the bill in the upper House. Geelan, however, did not think the measure had a chance in either branch of the Republican-dominated Assembly,

Labor Insists VILE. Be Given Power To Pass On
 Wage Increases

WASHINGTON. - Restor- atiOn of the War Labor Boards independence to en- able it to pass upon wage in- creases without the restric- tiOns imposed by various ex- ecutive orders will be demand ed by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor when it meets here be- ginning May IF, it was learned this week.
 OBJECT TO ORDER
 Members of the council have ex- pressed particular objection to President ROOsevelt's ''hOld-the- line'' order of April 8, which, they say, has made the War Labor Board useless, and to the impOsi- ton upon the board of the author ity of James F. Byrnes, Economic Stabilization Director.
 Some members of the council, it was learned, may go so far as to urge the resignation of A. F. of L. representatives from the board un- less it is restored to its original status of an independent tri-par- tite agency.
 Leading the fight for restoration of the War Labor Board to its original authority at the meeting of the A. F. of L. executive council, it was learned, will be Matthew Woll, vice-president, and George Meany, secretary-treas- urer of the A. F. of L., both members of the VILE.
 CLIO. TO ACT ALSO
 The question also will be dis cussed by the executive board of the Congress of Industrial Organ izatiOns when it meets in Cleveland on May IA.
 The meetings of the governing bodies of the two labor groups may decide the fate of the VILE.

New Haven needs more facili- ties for the care of children while . their parents are working in war industries, and Mayor John w. Murphy and the New Haven Board of Education were forcibly re- ,,minded of this fact this week.
 The reminder came in the form of a resolution passed at the last meet ing of the N. H. Central Labor } Council, which pointed out that the Federal government, under the Lam ham Act, will pay the costs of setting up child care centers, and 50 per cent of the operating costs. The Coun- Fcil of Social Agencies has recom- Rmended to the Board of Education that two more centers, in addition to the Scranton School project, are very Amuch needed, and has requested that the Board, as official sponsor, seek
 supplementary funds for these three centerS.
