Bonus System Out;
 Wage Increase In

WASHINGTON-Workers at the Buffalo plant of Curtiss- Wright Corp. were awarded general hourly wage in creases averaging 14.5c in place of their former bonus system in a Natl. War Labor Board order this week.
 The company and the Intl. Assn. of Machinists had joined in asking the Board to scrap the bonus system which they claimed was unavoidable. Although the WLB order will result in an annual wage increase of about $8 million, the amount is less than that paid by the company for bonuses to the same employees last year.
 The order also granted the work CTS affected by the elimination of the bonus system retroactive pay of $2 for each full week worked since June Is, 1922, to compensate them for mounting living costs and continued cuts in the bonus since that date.

Wage Offenders
 Face Big Penalty

Phi1adelphia.-For the first time in the history of the Wage-Hour Law, employers were accused as second of lenders here when three brothers manufacturing shirts for the U. S. Army were indicted by a Federal grand jury on charges of paying children less than the law specifies.
 They are Harry, Nathan and Isa- dore Dasher of Allentown, Pa., opera tors of the D. & H. Shirt Co. of Northampton. They are alleged to have chiseled $25,0OO in wages from l25 employees, most of whom are be- tween 16 and IS years of age.
 In January, 1o42, the brothers pleaded guilty to similar charges and got off with fines of $250 each and restitution of $1,O00 in back wages.
 If convicted, they can be fined up to $o20,O00 and sent to jail for 31 years.

SELL. Trustees
 Urge Cooperation
 Of Labor Leaders

Plans are now being made to en- list the aid of labor leaders in Conn., to acquaint workers better with the developments of Savings Banks Life Insurance in this state, John P. Roys- ton, secretary of SELL. fund, said this week.
 Criticism of Savings Bank Life Insurance by private companies is that although it is designed for the working man and his family, and has been sponsored by labor lead CTS, it has failed to grow because the workers have failed to go to banks and purchase this type of lOw-cOst insurance over the counter, but are still waiting for solicitors to call upon them," said RoystOn.
 Trustees of the plan, who serve without pay, feel that SELL. offers a splendid opportunity to working people. They feel that labor leaders could promote the interest of their fe1- low unionists by informing them that this life insurance is the most eco nomical available to workers.
 The trustees will cooperate in any way with members of organized labor in this matter and are ready to ar range for speaker to address unions or other labor groups, Royston de- c1ared.
 Complete details about the plan may be had or arrangement for speaker made by communicating with RoystOn, State Office Building, Hartford, Conn.

63rd Session Will
 Be Held In Boston

The Winning of the War will be the dominant theme of the Sixty-third Annual Convention of the American Federation of Labor which will be held in the Statler Hotel, Boston, Mass, Monday, Oct. 4, according to convention call received by Con- necticut labor this week.
 The convention will begin at lO:3O AM. and will continue in session from day to day until the business is completed.
 "The winning of the war is the pri- mary objective of ali people, includ- ing the membership of the A.F.L.," ," states the call issued over the sigma ture of Pres. William Green, Sec George Meany and the executive coun- Gil of the federation.
 The destruction of totalitarian-
 ism and the triumph of demOc- racy, the establishment and the
 maintenance of free democratic
 unions and the administration of said free, democratic unions by the membership, free from gov ernment domination and govern ment control, are issues involved
 in the outcome of this conflict in which labor is vitally interest
 ed. announces the call.
 "The winning of the war and the peace which will follow are questions which will be considered and acted upon by the delegates in attendance at the convention. The deliberation of those in attendance and action taken by the officers and delegates will be influenced by singleness of thought and purpose.
 'sThey will seek to cooperate fully with the government in the promotion of the war effort, to pro- tect and preserve the economic philosophy as we'll as the principles and policies of the American Fed eration of Labor and to protect and preserve our common heritage of freedom, liberty, justice and de- mOcracy," Pres. Green declared.

Local B-9O Electricians Make Appeal
Asks WLB To Approve Wage Increase At High
 Standard Co.

New Haven Electricians, Local B-9O, this week appealed the de- cision of New England Labor Board, which last week notified the Local that it has denied the pro- posed increase of Is cents an hour in the pay for electricians em- ployed at High Standard Co.
 The A.FL. Electricians won the sole bargaining right to represent the High Standard craftsmen last April as result of a N.L.R.B. election at the plant.
 In subsequent negotiations for contract with, the company, the firm agreed to pay the pro- posed increase which would bring skilled electricians wages up to SIPS an hour, provided the VILE. would approve of that increase. Bargaining was suspended while both parties awaited an answer from the board.
 Vincent J. McGovern, business agent of the Local, this week wrote a letter of appeal to VILE. He also wroe to George R. Willis, president and treasurer of the company, asking the company to join the Local in the appeal for favorable decison.
 In his letter of appeal, McCovern pointed out to VILE. that the eIec- tricians working at the High Stand ard Co.,, for which the union is asking a SIPS an hour, are Class A mechanics and capable of doing outside work at the established rate of $l.5O an hour.

WASHINGTON - Black market practices have been running ram- pant in West Virginia and PennsyI- vania coal mining communities, the O.P.A. revealed this week when it forbade 60 Pennsylvania and West Virginia food stores from dealing in ratiOned foods for periods of from one to 30 days.
 The O.P.A. drive against black markets concentrated in the Pittsburgh and Altoona, Pa, areas, where more than 40 suspensions and 90 warning notices were issued, and in West Vir- ginia.
 An O.P.A. survey previously showed ceilings were per cent above the legal level. In every case where store was suspended, O.P.A. made sure that others could pro- vide the neighborhOOd with ra- toned goods.

Conn.,. Labor For New 5. s. Legislation
Hartford And New Haven Act On Pres. Greens
 Appeal

The Hartford Central Labor Union and the New Haven Cen tral Labor Council at their last meetings took action on the ap- peal by William Green, president of the American Federation ot Labor, urging unionists to cal upon vacationing congressman tc ask their support of the Wagner Murray-Dingell Social Security Bill.
 The Hartford C.L.U. appointed committee of four members to visit Representatives William J. Miller, first district, and B. J. MOnkiewicz, congressman-at-larg The New Haven C.L.U. referred the matter to the legislative committee for appropriate action on the bill, and has instructed its delegate to Conn. Federation of Labor conven- ton to urge the convention to SUD- port it.
 Members of the Hartford Com mlttee are: Pres. William A. Scott, Bricklayers 1; Sec. Frank Morris, Labor Department Employees, Local 649; Ernest Higbee, Lodge 743,, IA. M.; and Joseph Lombard, Meat Cut ters, Local 371.
 Both central bodies had previous ly endorsed the social security bill which has the full backing of the A.F.L. The purpose of the proposed act is to liberalize and federaIize the security law, providing uniform and adeuate insurance benefits for all workers.
 Congress, which convenes Sept. 16, IS scheduled to act on the bill. The A.F.L. has asked delegations from or ganized labor to call upon the national representatives to present labor's stand and to urge congressional support of the bill.
 The A.F.L. is strongly urging the adoption of Wagner-Murray- -Dingle Act now for three important reasons
 CD To provide a greater and an improved system of social insurance
 for all workers.
 @ To provide adequate insur- ance to maintain a decent standard of livelihood for disemployed work CTS in the peace-time conversion period at the close of the war.
 (3) To provide a social security fund to help finance the cost of the war through investment in govern ment bonds instead of the new tax .ation for that purpose.
 "ReconverSion to peace-time pro- duction means a change for between 30 and 40 millions in the national work force,' Green pointed out. Tn Gustrial conversion will take from six to 18 months and public works prof ects will require two years to get t1n- der way"
 Workers are doing their full share in tax contributions to the war program, but more funds are going to be needed, he explained.
 We have the choice: Either tax rates will be increased and new kinds of taxes provided, or we may increase federal credit, by increasing social insurance payments and thereby in- crease insurance protection.
 '"The first alternative is over in one transaction and the taxpayer receives no return, but the second provides a continuing investment which first finances the war and in addition bene- fits the workers" declares Green.
 Social security funds are invested in Federal bonds which provide credit for the war.

False Advertising
 Under Fire of ETC

The Federal Trade Commission this week added "Ex-Lax," widely-adver- tised as a laxative, to its blacklist of misrepresented products.
 It charged the manufacturers and the Joseph Katz Company, Baltimore advertising firm, with lying about the therapeutic properties of the prepara- tion and with failure to reveal harm ful consequences that may result from its use.
 "Ex-Lax," the commission said, 'is potentially dangerous when taken by persons suffering from abdominal pains, stomach ache or other symp- toms of appendicitis"
