Teamsters, 559, Win Raise For Coal Employees

Members of Local 559, Hartford Teamsters, employed at the Household Fuel and Burns Coal Company, have been allowed a five cents hourly in- crease in pay, retroactive to Nov. 12, 1942, by the New England War Labor Board, according to Frank Bausola, secretary-treasurer of the Local.
 Last fall the union started to nego- tiate a new contract with the coal company, but no agreement could be reached on the wage question. Both parties consented to turn the matter over to the State Board of Arbitra- ton. Subsequently the Board granted the five cent increase.
 The agreement was on Dec. 8, 1922, referred to the VILE. for approval, and the decision has just been made, said Bausola. He and Nick Yannone handled the negotiations for the work CTS.
 In addition to the nickel raise, the Teamsters' contract with the fuel company contains he following pro- visions, which were also in last year S agreement:

Heavey Quits As President Of Aldermen

Frank M. Heavey, member of Lo- cal B-lOl3 Hartford Electrical De- vice Workers, who was mayor of Hartford for five days last week, following the resignation of Mayor Spellacy, this week resigned as president of the Board of Alder man, to devote all his time to work on the War Labor Board. He stated that he may be called to Washing ton to serve on the national VILE. this month.
 Heavey has been very busy as la Dor representative on the New Eng land War Labor Board. The pressure of these duties have been such as to require a prolonged absence from his job at the Arrow-Hart and Hege- man plant. He was serving his third term as alderman-at-large, and as act ing council president, having been elected to the latter post seven months ago.
 His resignation, acceptedly to the Board of Alderman, follows:
 ''The time I am forced to spend in Boston as member of the War Labor Board, and the fact that probably will be called to serve on the national War Labor Board in Washington during the month of July forces me to discontinue my services as an alderman-at-large.
 ''I regret that have no other aI- formative at this time, because of my work in the labor movement and also because of the assistance I can render Hartford workers and those throughout the State of Connecti- cut in these trying days.'

Men Who Lead Labor:

collective bargaining really effec- tive, believes Francis P. Carr, vice. president of Div. 28l, New Haven Trolley and Bus Operators.
 He feels that there are too many union members who do not realize that it is important to attend every union meeting and take an active part in the discussions and activi- ties. The present day position of la- bor, is, he says, an example of what labor is up against and it points to a need for greater, more enthusias- tic and intelligent interest in its or ganization.
 Carr has been vice-president of Div. 28l since l942. H has repre- sented the Division as a delegate to the New Haven Central Labor Council, and for the last two years has been a trustee of the C.L.C. He has also served as delegate to the convention of the Conn. Federation of Labor. He went to work as a conductor for the Connecticut Co.,, in 1923 and from that date has been been a member of the Trolley men. Carr was born in New Haven Dec. 10, 1901. He is married and has two sons in the armed services.

Washington, D.

Committee Scores Feeding Facilities

SAN FRANCISCO.-After a com mittee investigation, the San Fran cisco Labor Council has issued a re- port roundly condemning feeding fa- cilities provided for 176,O00 war work CTS in seven bay area shipyards.
 "Only 15,0OO workers, or about go, are able to secure any food at all within the yards" the report said. Food served in lunch boxes is in sufficient and lacks nutrition Nowhere is food based on balanced diet. Eat ing conditions are intolerable.
 Workers are at the mercy of weather conditions, as no shelter or seats are provided. In many cases the distance workers have to walk to food dispensaries, which takes up IS minutes or more of their mealtime Illnesses caused by these conditions are responsible for much absenteeism.

Price Rollback To Be Insisted Upon

WashingtOn-bOund, a united delegation of A.F.L. and CLIO. men, representing the Public Affairs Committee of h C Greater Hartford area, will en. train for the national capitol next Monday for conferences with leading administration officials concerning the status of Hartford as a critical man. power area and to register the protests of organized labor against the current threat in imitation resulting from the scrapping of President Roose- velt's price rOllback program.
 Meeting in emergency session this week, the combined committee voted unanimously to send selected representatives to confer with War ManpOwer Director Paul V. McNutt, O.P.A. Chief Prentiss Brown, Sena- tor Francis T. Maloney, and Con- gressmen William J. Miller and Boleslaus J. Monkiewicz.
 The combined group will be headed by Patrick Ward, President of the CLIO. City Council, and Jo- seph V. Cronin of Hartford Aircraft Lodge, TAB, LA. of M.
 The all-important question of gov ernment contracts, which generally are slated for areas in which there is no shortage of manpower, lies unsolved. In this connection, the committee will present statistics showing the large number of idle machines in Hartford and at the same time the number of workers who have been sent home because of lack of work.
 A sharp stand on the rOllback of prices or the scrapping of the Lit tie Steel formula will be delivered to Connecticut's congressman. This action is in line with the national policy of both major labor Organi- zatiOns.
 The committee will probe into the program of the War Manpower Com mission for the training of foremen and supervisors in matters of worker foremen relationships. The joint com mittee feels that such training will result in closer cooperation and in creased production.
 The latter question was one of several discussed at the recent meet ing ill the War Manpower office, when representatives of organized labor, the manufacturers, and the Navy department gathered for the purpose of setting up training pro- gram.
 It was pointed out at that meeting, in the presence of Ensign Daniel R. Howe of the Navy office, that there was plenty of idle machinery and plenty of room in the industrial plants of the city to allow the training of new workers right in the factories.
 Hot words were exchanged at the meeting between Patrick Ward of the CLIO. Joseph Lombard of the ALL, and the manufacturers rep resentatives, with the latter group coming oH second best.

 s:Here the power of war prOduc- .tfOn had stopped, and this factory which until recently was bee hive of war production was almost -hushed and dust was gathering on the idle machines.

 Scott stated much interest has been shown by members of organized labor in Hartford in the preliminary report of Secretary-treasurer John J. Egan, who is legislative agent of the GEL, on the legislative program, as it appeared in THE UNION TIMES, June 10.
 Under the heading of new meth Dds of helping the war effort, Scott listed: the need of ways and means of increasing production by mak- ing the fullest possible use of man. power; labOr's re-affirmation of the pact; the final clearing up of fake cry of undue absentee ism, which has been pretty well punctured in Hartford.
 The exchange of information and of ideas on these problems by the delegates of organized labor at the is felt to be of prime inn portance by CL..U.
 Of great importance also is a re- labor's forces to fight reaction and ''anti-laborism" that has swept the country, said Scott. It is time that some discussion be held and action taken on organized labor's place in the postwar period.
