Step TO Toxic
Seen in Raid
On Pdrdmushiru

WASHINGTON. July 81 GNS)
American land. sea and air
forces today increased pressure
on the Pacific front in the slow
but steady drive toward Toxic,
Biggest Y. s. offensive develop
ment is the 760-mile raid by four
motorcd army Liberator bombers
against the Jap base AT Paramu-
Shiru, in the northern Kuriie
Islands. 1900 miles from Toxic.
The raid clearly indicated that
the United States intends TO keep
blasting the enemy from every
angle and as often as possible to
keep the JapS from Strengthening
their defensive positions.
This attack also fitted in with
recent American news of the
separation of Jap-held Kiska in
the Aleutians from its sources of
supply The northern Kuriles I'M
doubtedly served as relay points
for materials heading for Kiska.
Considered significant is the
fact that America now has enough
bomberS in the western Aleutians
TO risk them on such long range
assaults into the enemy'S home
backyard -
This is emphasized by the fact
that on July Is army heavy and
medium bombcrS carried out an
other attack on KiSka and on
the following day L. S. planes

Much Enthusiasm
 At 58th Meeting
Convention Delegates Showed Independence; Collins New President; Morris, Gaspic On Executive Board;
 F.D.R. Given Full Support On War Policies

In one of the most enthusi. astic and best attended cOnven- tiOns of the Conn. Federation of Labor in years, labor pledg. ed continued support to the efforts of President Roosevelt for full production; equality of sacrifice in the burdens and responsibilities necessary to win the war; the prevention of imitation and preservation of the rights of the common people.
 Strongly worded resolutions calling for the renewal of the no- strike pledge roll back of prices, equality in taxation payments on the basis of ability to pay, the denunciation of racial and re- ligious discrimination, all of which are in accord with the American Federation of Labor's program, were passed. Stories of these actions will be found else where in this paper.
 Political office holders in the state whose records have been definitely anti-labor were de- nounced for their betrayal of the workers trust. Governor Baldwin and RanuH Compton were singled out as examples of anti-laborites in public office. These resolutions ap- pear elsewhere in this edition of The Union Times.
 The delegates elected Vice-Presi- dent Timothy Collins to succeed James J. CIerkin as president of the GEL. William Morris, Hart- ford, first Uice-president of B-IOI3, Electrical DeUice Workers. and John Gaspic, Meriden, business agent Of Local B, Asbestos Work CTS, ,Oere chosen as nes0 uice- presidents Of the Federation.
 The convention was not a cut and dried affair. There was much spirited discussion. Those seeking the passage of certain resolutions were rebuffed.
 The most outstanding example was the defeat of the proposal to go on record favoring the passage of the Murray-Wagner-Dingell So- cial Security bill, now before Con- gress. This measure, originated by the American Federation of Labor, was reported out unfavOrably by the Resolutions Committee. on the basis that the committee didn't have sufficient details. The measure was introduced by the New Haven Labor Council. The New Haven and

Day Delivery Of Milk Urged ByTeamsters
GEL. Convention Backs Joint Councils Resolution
 On Important Issue

Daylight deliveries of milk was unanimously favored by the Conn. Federation of Labor convention. The delegates passed the following resolution, sponsored by Teamsters Joint Council No. 64:
 WHEREAS, most of the fluid milk produced in the State of Con- necticut is delivered to consumers during daylight hours, and
 "WHEREAS, the milk distribut- ing companies under contract with Teamsters' locals in this state for a considerable length of time have been operating their delivery sys- tems on daylight basis to the sat- isfaction of the companies, the drivers and the consumers, and
 WHEREAS, from sanitary standpoint daylight delivery of milk is far superior to the former method which resulted in the summer of an unsafe rise in the temperature of milk left standing too long on doorsteps before being placed in the consumers s refrigerator, and in the winter of frozen milk protruding from bottles and thus inviting contamination, and
 WHEREAS, there are still some deliveries being made by backward milk distributors during night hours, and
 WHEREAS, boys, in violation of the States Child Labor laws, are used as helpers on night deliveries, and
 WHEREAS, this unfair cOmpe- titiOn might eventually force the other companies to return to the former method of milk distribu- ton to the disadvantage of the public health, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, that the COnnecti- cut Federation of Labor tend its support to the efforts of the union milk wagon drivers to persuade Milk Administrator ID. O. Hammer berg to require all distributors in Connecticut to deliver milk only during daylight hours, and to any other proper steps that may be necessary as a solution including remedial legislation"

Baldwin Cited For Failure
 Of Labor Act
Convention Blames Gov. ernor For Refusal Of Legislature To En-
 act S.L.R.A.

Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin this week knows that Connecticut labor holds him responsible ir large measure for the failure o1 the 1943 General Assembly tc pass the Conn. Federation oi Labor's proposed State Labor Relations Act.
 Delegates to the GEL. conven. tiOn last week shouted their dis. approval of the Governors failure to lift a finger in behalf of the passage of the collective bargain. ing act. They charged that he had promised in his campaign to press for enactment of the bill.
 The Resolution Committee tried tc discourage the passage of the resolu- tion, sponsored by the State Associa- tion of Stage Employees and Motion Picture Machine Operators, holding Baldwin jointly responsible with the Republican Party for the failure ot the Legislature to pass the act. This resolution was reported in full in THT UNION TIMES last week.
 In reporting on the resolution. the committee said it conflicted with the legislative report of John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer and legislative agent of the Federation.
 Egan's report stated that it is against the policy of the GEL. tc ask the Governor to interfere with the Legislature in behalf of the enact ment of labor laws and that the Gov ernor had very difficult time getting his own legislation through.
 Had the Governor been sincere ir his desire he could have caused the passage of the bill, declared State Senator James P. Geelan, who took the floor to argue for the passage of the resolution. Geelan quoted from the Legislative Bulletin of the New

 No-Strike Act
Sen. Maloney, Rep. Comp ton, Talbot, McWilIiams
 Criticized By GEL.

Attacking the Smith-Connally Law as one of the most vicious acts to be passed by Congress ir years, delegates to the 58th con- vention of the Conn. Federation of Labor in two separate actions urged the repeal of this so-called anti-strike act.
 The delegates unanimously ap- proved the GEL. Executive Boards recommendation that labor seek re- peal of the Smith -COnnally law. They also approved the resolution introduced by the New Haven Cen. tral Labor Council censuring the Connecticut Congressmen who voted for the Bill, and urging them to support a move to repeal it.
 The name of Sen. John A. Danahel was wrongly included as a supporter of the Bill. He did not vote for the measure, but his excuse for not doing so, as reported in the newspapers, wa: lAAdI AlC OpPOSCO llEC llIdlllICI III WIllCI the bill was drawn up and not the in. tent of the act.
 Secretary-Treasurer John J. Egan jumped to his feet to assert that Sen. Danaher has fought for or. ganized labor and that an apology be made to him for including his name in ''this most unfortunate resolution"
 The resolution was amended tC omit the name of the Republican Sena tor, as suggested by the Resolution Committee, and unanimously passed A companion resolution was passed tC extend apologies to Sen. Danaher.
 The delegates commended Presi. dent Roosevelt for ''his statesman ship' in vetOing the bill, and sharply criticized Senator Ma. lOney, and Congressmen Talbot, McWilliams and Compton for vOt- ing for this anti-labOr measure.''

State Labor Achievement Called Epic
Gov. Baldwin Says Free Labor Can Lick Slave
 Labor

Praising the workers of this state for their "epic achievement in war production, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin told the 58th GEL. con. ventiOn that he feels that organ ized labor in Connecticut has truly come of age.
 Other speakers to address the con- ventlon were Cornelius J. Danaher labor commissioner; James Shannon attorney for the Federation, and John Van Vaerenwyck, A.F.L. representa- tive of the Treasury Department.
 "We can feel proud of our record declared Gov. Baldwin. T don't know how manufacturer could carry on his complicated business today with out the support and cooperation of organized labor. We are a part nership here."
 He stated that we have three goals to achieve: CD To win the war; CD to secure jobs for all workers after the war; and (3) to have equal distribution of the fruit Ot our labor.
 'We will prove that free labor can lick slave labor," he concluded.
 Commissioner Danaher asserted that his department has been busy protecting the rights of more than 100000 workers.
 We are enforcing the labor laws without fear or favor and I say to you that not single sweat shop is now operating in Connecticut. We have never been subjected to as much pressure as at present. The labor laws have not broken down nor will they break down" declared Danaher.
 This assertion of the Labor Com missiOner's was considered by some delegates as a direct reference to the petition by the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council asking Gov. Baldwin to cause the Labor Depart ment to be investigated by three Superior Court judges for laxity and sinking morale.
 The convention voted to refer to the executive committee for fur
