the plant were far from ideal, and
he Immediately saw the value of or
ganizatiOn when the Machinists
started to uniOnize the East Hart
ford factory.
1t was his first contact with
unions; he became convert at
once, and has been active i'm the
movement ever since. Peresluha
became a shop committeeman and
recording secretary in 1912, and
this year was elected chairman of
the shop committee, and later was
chosen president ON the resignation
of former Pres. Jack Goodwill.
Peresluha played a big part in
the organizing of the Norwich Di-
vision of the Hamilton Standard
Propellers, and is now assisting in
the attempt to organize Pratt and
Whitney Motors Division of the
United Aircraft Corp. He predicts
that members of that huge plant
will soon be bargaining collectively.
Peresluha's ambition is to do
OrganizatiOnal work - within the
LAM. if possible. With this end in
view he is studying labor law as well
as getting all the practical expert
ence obtainable.
He was born in Hartford, July z,
1910, and got as far with his school
ing as the Junior year at the Uni
versity of Alabama before the de-
preston forced him to quit and
roam the country i'm search of work.
He went to work at the Hamilton
plant i'm 1889.
PeresIuha is married and is the
father of two children.

Now that there is tendency toward
the sterilization of wages, unions must
seek other benefits. One of these, ap-
proved by the National War Labor
Board, is group insurance, cost of
which is borne entirely or largely by
the employer.
Through this the worker can get
disqualification insurance, medical and
surgical care, cash weekly benefits for
accident or sickness and death benefits.
The employees family can also get
disqualification and surgical benefits.
Bargaining for group insurance
is a new experience for most
unions. Formerly group insurance
plans were controlled by employers
who used them often to forestall
demands for wage increases. The
employer usually said he was pay
ing most of the cost of the insur-
ance. But it very often turned out
that the employer was making a
negligible contribution, if any, and
